The strawberry season appears to
have passed us this year before it
got here.
What the threshing season is'to
the farmer the commencement sea
son is to the educator, it is a time
when all are busy and early and late
hours are the rule. When the crop
of graduates is disposed of the work
of preparation for a new season
s'upes itself out of plans into defi
nite procedure.
Distance lends enchantment they
say, but it also gives prospective and
enables the observer to distinguish
the camparative ratio of things
which can not be judged seen from
close at hand. A great many of the
events that are now taking place
will look differently when seen from
the distance of a few years time.
The Lusitania horror was bad when
first read of by the people of the
world, but it has steadily grown in
magnitude as a crime as time passes
on.
It is going to cause some pinchjng
to raise the amount of money to buy
Thrift Stamps in the amount asked
of each community arid all over the
land the tendency is to think the
quotas have been placed too high.
But buckle to it. This war is cost
ing money and if we are to win we
must help to foot the bill.
written in the land of Feter the
Great.
We seriously doubt if the so-called
shelving of General Wood is due to
partisanship as one set of people
will tell you or to the fact that he
is a politician or not able as another
set of cuckoos would Infer. We
believe General Wood's plight is
due either to jealousy among men
in his profession who happen to be
in places of influence, just the sort
of thing Grant and Sherman suffer
ed from in the earfy years of the
civil war; or else he is reserved
for service of equal importance to
a command in France, but in some
other place. This sort of thing will
right itself in time and this war
promises to be long enough to give
all of our military talent a chance
to show what it can do.
While a pair of eyes in good
working order is a fine thing to
have, Mr. B. F. Irvine of Portland
is a living example that eyes are not
necessary to vision and that it is
possible with the remaining senses
to see many things which are not
beheld by normal man.
There is room for reflection in
that part of Editor Irvine'sjaddress
in which he spoke of the influence
of teaching on the minds of school
children. No parent misses consid-'
eration of this, especially when he
sees instructors advocating all sorts
of fantastic political and social and
perhaps theological theories. While
a child may have a strong enough
mind to take and throw off teaching
of this kind without mental injury,
still many can not and in any case
the student is entitled to clean and
wholesome instruction. On the oth
er hand the case of Germany is an
instance of the wrong resulting from
deliberate shaping of instruction
to suit the ends of public welfare.
Someone or group has to direct the
j trend of this instruction and sooner
j or later selfish interests will step in
j and seek to create power for then.-

I never come in this country when it
will be thought fitting thru the
! teaching of the young to direct pub
lic opinion on matters which are
capable of argument or of differen
ces of opinion.
The coast and plains states for the
present season are reversing the
usual run of things. While they
are liberally sprinkled with show
ers, our weB-foot land is swept with
drouth.
Only a short time since we
thought it impossible that this
country should send an army to
France. Right now it seems the
remotest sort of a possibility that
we should send an army to Russia.
Yet some of the brightest pages of
American , military history may be

charge. New Hooverized recipes
and ways of conserving food will be
explained and demonstrated.
A great deal of the music at Chau
tauqua this year will carry a patri
otic note. The opening attraction
is to be the Old Soldier Fiddlers,
four veterans of the Civil War, two
from the North and two from the
South, who will give a stirring pat
riotic program of old war time and
camp fire songs. The big musical
feature of the week will be Thaviu's
Exposition Band on the fifth day.
This is the splendid Chicago musical
organization that both opened and
closed the San Francisco Exposi
tion, the only Band requested for a
return engagement. In their even
ing concert they will be assisted by
three grand opera singers from one
of Chicago's grand oera organiza
tions. Other musical features of
the week will be the Fenwick New
ell Concert Company; Morrison
Smilh Company; Zodeler Symhponic
Quintet and the Treble Clef. Club.
There is to be a splendid musical
feature on the last night which will
be known as "Hawaii Land of Mu
sic". Mildred Leo Clemens, cousin
of Mark Twain, will give an illus
trated lecture with dissolving views
and motion pictures of the Islands,
accompanied by the Royal Hawaiian
Quintet, one of Hawaii's foremost
companies of singers and players.

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL,
A general Idea of the quantity of
food tent to European allies hj the
United States from July 1, 1914, to
-Tnnuary 1, 1918, Is given by figures
Just announced by the U. S. Food Ad
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed 8tates hni furnlnhed complete year
ly rations for S7,100,933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for 22.104.S70 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
flour to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about SS4.000.000 hunhels.
Pork exports foi the 34 years amount
ed to almost 2,000.000.000 pounds. Ex
ports of fresh beef totaled 443,484.400
pounds. The amount of food exported
to Russia Is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.
