A PHASE OP PREPAREDNESS. War brings with It economic prob- are almost as difficult of , the military problems. of foodstuffs is the side of 7ie-Mon that touches all. but that can be in a large measure held under reasonable control by an active campaign for the back-yard garden. All over the nation the far mers are being urged to increase their plantings of the staples to make good the great shortage in the wheat crop. To supplement this, the plant - ing of gardens and theultivation of lems th V .vacant ctty Jots is ibelng generally foSvi impMjaice'w! be fifreachlnir; i; A is'inlvereaWy followed-" Bg!ig !p- ; fl '"!!T7isstt. (' loion depart mnt or the sta tiural -cotige has made the following scwemear; "The present food shortage will be ' greatly intensified by the withdrawal of many producers who are being called into the military service. With our entrance into the war, our obli gations to furnish food to the allied nations will be greatly increased. We must meet the situation. This can be done by increasing production and by the more economical use of food. "Vacant city lots and back yards afford the best means for prompt relief in production. If these are properly used for raising vegetable! and poultry, thousands of ' dollars worli of 'food products can b; added to the normal supply in a few months. At least sixty per cent of the city lots and back yards now available are not being used. In the interest of the nation, Intelligent, sober and well organized efforts should be made to .aid in improving the situation. "It Is respectfully suggested that all organizations interested in the pullio welfare should get together and plan a campaign for their re spective communities. ' A Joint com mittee representing commercial , clubs, women's organisations, parent-teachers' associations, Bt-hool of ficlals, and other organizations in terested in public problems should eppolnt representatives to serve on a joint committee to be charged with the direction of the campaign. A sur vey should be made immediately to determine the amount of ground available and the number of per-! so.-s -rho may be enlisted to put It to the best use. Encouragement and instruction should be continued in a fylematlo way throughout the sea son. The Oregon Agricultural col lege ku prepared a special series of pamphlets on poultry keeping, vege table gardening, the economical use of foods and canning foods, which will be available to the people of the state. We shall be glad to send a supply of these , publications upon receipt of evidence that this work Is being efficiently organized In your community." WeWon't We couldn't TW many cooJb spoil th broth.

I fc.Ctni II llm I am sifco a an iK him ut Xew York, April 10. War riders are being attached to life insurance policies by nearly all life insurance companies. Some of these cancel policies immediately on information that the Insured has joined the navy or army for war service; others spe cify an additional premium with re strictions of payment in event of the death of the insured. The Aetna stipulates that if the in sured engages in any aeronautic or submarine expedition within two j ears of the riders' date, the po.icy shall become void. Naval or army service outside the C. 8. in. war time will call for an additional premium. The Travelers will revoke the clause relating to permanent total disability if the insured engages in war service any time within 10 years of the riders' date. The Mutual Denefit announced to day Its policy would hereafter con tain a clause exacting ten percent ad ditional premium for new policy holders engaged In army or navy service outside the United States. Men engaged in military work in this country will not Ibe affected. Men In Red Cross or hospital work will be allowed to take out en dowment policies of 12,00 each. No outstanding policy is affected by the Mutual Benefit's ruling, A class! fled ad will give results. - ST INDIES TO DEFEAT GERMAN PLANS Copenhagen, April 9. The I'nlted Slates" main purpose in purchasing the Danish West Indies from' Den mark was to defeat known Gorman plans to establish a Zeppelin and submarine base there1. It was learn ed on the highest authority here today that months ago when the I'nlted States began carefully apprais ing the possibilities of conflict with Germany, this scheme of the imper ial government to seize the Islands and establish a base of operations againBt the United States' came to light It was this that impelled Am erica to open negotiations with Den mark for the transfer of this strate gic position to the American flag. Whether Germany, planned to forc ibly seize the Islands or to purchase them from Denmark was not clear. Denmark, because of Its geographic position, is dominated by Germany, for reason of national safety would undoubtedly have acquiesced In what ever course Germany demanded. nvwmv. dixik kor .NATIONAL WAR H(X Washington, April 10. "Dixie' for the national war song. Several members of congress are considering Introducing a resolution, making "Dixie" a national air with congressional endorsement to sup plement "America" which they say Is Kngllsh and "The Star Spangled Banner," which some say Is too hard to sing.

Congressman McCormlck, Illinois, thinks there ought to be a country wide vote on It. , Senator Phelan, California, would offer a prize for the best muslo by which to popularize "The Star Spangled Banner."
