Tho movement to have the army retain the services of Surgeon-General William C. Gorgas after he reaches the legal age of retirement in October has the plain, unmistak able merit of working in behalf of one of the foremost medical and san itation authorities in the world. The retirement rule works rather Inflex ibly, but like all rigid rules it is made to look foolish occasionally. General Goreas was never. more com petent probably, than he is today..

Itev. Carl II. Elliottt. who resigned temporarily the pastorate of the Kirst Presbyterian church of Salem to accept war work for the Y. M. C. A. in France, has written an inter esting letter to a Salem friend rel ative to his work in the war zone. Recently he has been assigned to a nev field with 150 engineers, and 200 Morroccans who are to clear the ground for use as an aviation field. The territory in which Mr. Klliott Is woikins. judging from his letter, is in the firing zone of the enemy- ' writes: "This is the day my vacation would begin if I were still pastor of the Presbyterian church in Salem. As it is my work as hut secretary alone, is just beginning. I have ijeen an understudy since coming here and this is a fine active place to get ex- !enence. kMy divisional secrtary asked me tonight to be ready to start tomorrow to a new field just opening among 150 American engineers and 200 Morrocans. They are to clear the ground oa a high plateau and get roads into it and have it already for an aviation field in case the fields already in use are shelled out of commission. The work, of course is temporary, so we will have the Y. M. C. A. work in a tent. The wea ther is much like Oregon weather now. To be sure a windstorm may pull our tent stakes out some night but that's all in the game. "I took a walk before the service last evening down through the vil lage. "On both sides of the street was a I row of substantial houses, concrete t of tone, standing back from the curb abont fifteen feet. One door would be the entrance to the stable, eight or ten feet farther bark would be the front door of the residence. The woman would be sitting or standing there enjoying the sunset and the odors. I presume it is an economy of roof and perhaps of ener gy. One ran easily slip out and cur ry the. horse and milk the cow and hear the call to breakfast with no strain of the throat or ears. "You would be interested in 45 carrier pigeons that are on the the yet hill above us. They have not carried war messages as they are I theT just young birds. The boys in school are taught how to write notes to be sent by the birds. . "I am perfectly well., Am flnd inz much to do. Have been busy today getting up tar paper shades on our hut so we ran shut out the light, lest some Bosche airplane see us and drop a bomb. I am making out money orders for the bovs to end home and last night spoke to i crowd four miles awsv. There were 125 men there and they gave ?ood attention."

Crowds nsk'ng that preparations be made to fill a coming call for a large number of good sten ographers who have had legal ex perience.

The work, it Is announced, will be Interesting and will give invalu able experience to the fortunate ap p'lcaLts. Registtants eligible for thi0won are urged to present, themselves without delay to their local hoard? to have their n lines listed for the service. However, no IndnoMont will te made until further orders. CHILDREN WILLING WORKERS. The occupations of grown-ups have great attraction for children. A few simple regular duties should be giv en tFem every day. Work is one of the greatest means of spiritual devel opment, and the wisest of all teach ers for little children. A child'! of fer to help should never be refused. To be sure, the mother may at first find it far more of a hindrance than a help, but children of four or five can learn to dress and undress them selves, wipe the dishes, dust the chairs, help make beds, carry small pieces of kindling, empty scrap bas kets, water plants, and help In many other ways. If the mother's spirit Is right, chil dren will always love to help. Chil dren are little reflectors, and soon catch the spirit of cheerful, willing work. If they see work done com plalningly, what wonder'if they also begin to feel badly used when asked to perform some simple helpful serv ice and to look upon work as a dis agreeable hardship. II.

The women are kept until cured, an 1 then they are released; but efforts are also made to teform them and make them law-abiding, moral and useful members of society. It is a tremendous undertaking, when the whole country Is consid ered. There are 50 women patients now in the hospital at, Newport News. There are thousands of them at the army ramps throughout the country. There are some from Oregon, at Camp Lewis; but the proooition from OreKon, as compared with her neigh boring states.

' SHEEP MILK MAY SOLVE PROBLEM! 1 State Veterinarian Lytle Sets Way to Avoid Shortage of Product A sheep or the long or medium wool class will produce as much Jii'k as a "r inilch goat, declares Dr. W. II. Lytle. state veterinarian, and for thl ceason he avers that 'if every. Oregon lawn were made- to support one or two sheep there would be no milk and wool shortage. "Sheep's milk Is the finest there is for babies." said Dr. Lytle. "and the sheep I have described will yield $6 or K worth of wool. If the lamb is raised until it is tthrte months oil it will bring $10, but the lamb can't he raised if the milk Is wanted in the home." Dr. Lytle says that the wool short age has arrived and that the milk shortage is on its way. The wav to meet the difficulty, he asserts, fs to put a couple of sheep in each f'oor- yard. "A 'strap to 'serve as a collar around the sheep's neck, and a rope to stake her out. is all the equipment needed." says the doctor. f'A fro- yard of ordinary slie will keep two of them la good condition elgr. months of the year." LOXIXJX STRIKERS TO WORK LONDON, Aug. 26. The tube railway strikers at a meeting tonight decided by a large majority to retcrn to work on an understanding reach ed with the minlstes of labor that the question of equal pay would be considered. They further resolved. that in view of the victory won they would take Tuesday as a holiday. STORING FOOD PltODUCTS. During the crisis through which we are now passing It Is essential that no possible Item of conservation be overlooked. The shortage of food is so great throughout the entire world that anything that tends to conserve our present supplies or to increase our production of crops should be encouraged. A great deal has been said about the farmers In creasing their production and most farmers have already Increased as far as they can the output of their farms. but something also needs to be said on the score of conservation. Ily proper methods on the farm it Is pos sible to carry on the farm work with a great deal less consumption of the crops produced, leaving a much creat proportion of the output avail able for the market. Two Items of farm equipment will materially assist In this greater mar ket output. These are the silo and the vegetable storage cellar. The economies effected by these two Items of equipment are so great they may rightly be considered to be es sential to efficient farm manage ment. The necessity of the wholesale building of silos has been recognized in many states. Indiana set the lead by inaugurating the campaign for the bunding or 10.000 silos this year. Other states followed: Texas, for In stance, with 20.000 and other small er states In proportion to their ag ricultural population. We should now enter upon a sim ilar campaign for the vast produc- FOUR DAYS 2 P. M. TWICE DAILY 8 P. M. Commencing SUN., SEPT. 1 D. W.

W. Griffith SEAT SALE ON THURSDAY AT THE OREGON L farm can be considered to be com plete or organized for efficient man agement unless It has a well-built vegetable cellar. The construction of these cellars Is simple; any fanner can build one 1th the help and the materials that he has on his farm or can secure at his near-by town. No great skill. no outside labor, and no extensive equipment of any kind Is required; nor Is their cost great, and In view of the savings that they effect they ulti mately cost nothing. They are not an expense: they are an Investment. and an Investment productive of large and Immediate profits. By means of the storage cellars, as very fanner who owns one knows. t Is possible to keep the vegetable crops In good condition until the market Is right. Potatoes, onions, and other root vegetables and apples nay be stored In the cellar and kept n perfect state until the right time arrives to take them to market when . hey have a greater market value than when taken freshly from the ground. In the matter of production the ael a k .mm I kuL. Jl American fanner Is probably doing now all that he possibly can to assist Ms country to win the war. In the matter of efficient management and conservation he can go still further nd help his country and himself by building a vegetable storage cellar." leclares a well-known writer. DATS LOVfl IT.

Hack money Is lost in Oregon and other states by selling cream which will not produce the best batter. Eighty-five per cent of the C27. 000.000 pounds of creamery butter made In the United States In a year will not grade extra. Taking this in to consideration the loss can be es timated at $25,000 a year, according to V. D. CbappelL assistant professor of dairy husbandry la the Oregon Agricultural College. As a result or the change from the whole milk to the cream gathering system, there has been a decline In the quality of butter. This Is due to the fact that the milk dit. ired once and In some case twice a a . - dally while with the cream rather- ing system the cream is delivered once, twice or three time a wwk J Very seldom, la fact. Is cream dellv- aa&j4 A V a .. J ered to the creamery dally. In the case of milk. It was neces sary that It be delivered sweet but cream would be accepted even though it was sour. Sour cream Is not nec essarily poor cream. Practically all creamery butter Is made from sour cream but the best butter Is made from properly soured cream only. Cream that is held too lone en th. farm cannot be properly soured. The cream gathering system began at the ime when the cream separator came Into use. Very few farmers under stand why cream sours and coase- quenUy do not know bow to keep It sweet. -Many farmers deliver onlr sour "ream, while many others seldom de liver SOUr Cream. said Professor ChappelL -I once worked In a cream ery when a farmer made a standing offer of a J0-cent clear everv limn he delivered sour cream. In three years I received four free cigars and he de livered cream only three times a wek. A fanner of that type always gets all that la comlnar to him while the one who delivers the poor cream may get the imall end of the bar gain. Poor cream never makes a good produeL A poor prod act never brings a good price the fanner pays the difference. "During the season of cool weath er It Is not difficult to keep cream sweet but as the weather warms up It Is neesaary to keep the cream cool until delivered. The bacteria which cause cream or miiv i. . many times fatter at a vrarm temper RCSTIRT HAIOiy ature than at a cool tempera tare. The producers of cream aa w3 as those of other commodities recet nlze the Justness of a plan ly which payment can be made oa the basis ex quality. This Is the basis gevtraUg the sale of wheat, cattle, hogs. s??les and eggs and there Is no logical reas on why It should not apply la lie case of cream. It costs mors to tra duce sweet cream, at least IT time Is of any value, and It should be reward ed by the paying of a higher price. If a creamery were paytag S cents higher for butterfat In sweet cream than for butterfat la soar cream, it would amouat to a differ ence of about I i cents for a 1 t-gaUoa can of 35 per rest cream. Nov. say posing a farmer delivered II gallons of cream a week la a year he voeJi be 144.20 to the good. With this he could make a good start on haCdlxx a milk house. "Delivering sweet cream Is well worth considering. At a certain creamery, they need to receive fra tically all sour cream but they began paylar 3 cents extra for fat la sweet civ am and at the p reseat time they are receiving more than three tiates as much sweet cream as they do seer cream.
