W. Cahill home in Eagle Creek was completely destioyed by fire last Thursday afternoon, the building having become over heated and with its contents of 50 gallons of pitted cherries, a total loss.

SOME REASONS WHY WHEAT MUST BE SAVED **A M a n C a n n o t T h in k , W o r k or F ig h t W hen He lo H u n g r y ”— W e M u ot Feed O u r So ld ie rs. " W e have the p rese rv atio n of the world on our hands. Every single living hum an being la this republic, from ocean to ocean, should m ake It his or her special p urpose to save food.” T hese a re the words of E. F. Cullen, persoual re p re s e n ta tiv e of H e rb e rt C. Hoover, in a re c e n t address. “ Men will resist any power but the power of s ta rv a tio n ,” said Mr. Cullen. “ H unger in the final analysis, is the only force th a t can w eaken a nation and demoralize an arm y. Food is stre n g th , and w ithout a perpetual sup ply of strength, th e world can stand in d a n g e r of to ttering, w eakening and falling into u tte r chaos. A m an can not think, work or fight if he is hun gry. "T h e allies today a r e practically wholly dependent upon th e United S ta te s for food. Upon this nation restò the responsibility of preserving the world from P russlanlsm . This is the task of the people of this nation— to produce and save food enough to keep a steady s tre a m of essential sup plies moving tow ards th e front so long as it shall be n e c essa ry to wage this war. If a t any tim e we fail in this, we m ust Inevitably go down, with the allies, to defeat. T his Is no ex aggeration, but a serious f a c t It is the purpose of the U nited S ta te s Food A dm inistration to bring the realiza tion of this fact hom e to every Ameri can man, woman and child, and to en list the Individual aid of our hundred million people in producing and sav ing food. T he Food A dm inistration is not asking you to eat less; it only urges th a t you s u b s titu te one n u tri tious food for a n o th e r equally n u tri tious food, thus saving th e vital s ta ples needed by our a rm ie s and the arm ies and peoples of th e allies. We must, during the next th re e m onths, save w heat especially. Our surplus has a lready been shipped abroad, and a hundred million bushels more a re needed. W hen you eat a slice of bread less, omit the c ra c k e rs with your soup, or otherw ise c onserve on w heat prod ucts, you a re c o ntributing tow ards th e hundred million bushels needed over there by our fighting men and th e exhausted people of Belgium. F ra n ce and England who have for more th a n three years been bearing the b runt of this war, which is our war. Keep tnis in mind, and bring it before the minds of your th o u ghtless friends and neigh bors.” Capt. Whitcomb On Furlough From From (■apt. W a l t e r Whitcomb of Portland, son of A. 0. Whitcomb of (iarfield is in Portland this week, attending to business in connection with his government work in France. ("apt.

THROWS POLLEN OVER BEES N a tu r e ’« U se of the M o u n ta in L a u re l le O ne of H e r M a n y R e m a r k a b le Device«. Flop I und aw ay go the little s ta m ens of the m ountain laurel ami throw pollen over th e bee which alights upon them. T h e n a tu ra list sees here oue of th e most rem a rk a b le devices In all n a tu r e for compelling an insect to c a r ry pollen. T h e lover of n a tu re sees In the m ountain laurel one of the most beuuttful of the common woodland flowers, says E dw ard Bigelow In “Boys’ Life.” T he corolla la gaucer-shuped> with ten little pita u e a r the edge, and light ly cuught in each of these little pits la th e u n th e r a t th e end of the elastic filament. T h is n atu ral thing seems to grow In a n u n n a tu ra l munner, but do you know of any o th er plant th a t ac tually grow s in distorted or strained position, o r p u ts its own self in an un com fortable a n d «trained position from which It Is glad to be released when th e first Insect comes along and sets It loose? T h e whole m echanism Is like a h a ir trigger. I t Is so carefully a djusted thut even a slight Jar will sometimes , set it loose. Shaking an en tire hush i releases g re a t num bers of these fila ments, a n d flop, flop, flop they leap out of th e p its and the a n th e rs throw their pollen everywhere. T he bee which visits th e mountuln laurel m ust feel th a t th e tim es ure prosperous, since he Is show ered with golden pollen which he c a rr ie s to the next flower to f e r tilize th e seeds. M o stly Nude. l Most of the Indians In the Amazon valley go about In a completely nude stute, exeept on ceremonial occasions, when they bedeck themselves with or nam ental feather-work, such as a kind of kilt, necklet, bracelets, head-dress and even large mantles made of fe a th ers held together by liber cords. They find an ubundunce of raw m aterial In the' m u ltitu d e of muny-colored, bright- hued p a rro ts and other blrda that sw arm In those forests and which, not to Injure the feathers, they shoot with blunt a rro w s or with small d a rts from a long blowpipe. The women ure very skilled In weaving this fea th er-ap parel, and In the museums of 1’aru, Ido de J a n e iro and Hao Paulo can be seen ela b o rate mantles, head-dresses and kilts of heuutlful designs and col ors. W hen a rnuldeu has fixed her af- factions on a warrior and wishes him to m ake her his wife she weaves one of these ornamental g arm ents and offers It to hliu as a hint of her desire and a t th e same time a proof of her skill. 8 ln g ln g M a k e s W o r k E a s y .
