My fancies carry m away, To childhood whea tbeaa worda Tdaay "Where's Mother?" Bursting In from aehool or play. This is what the children say. Trooping, crowding, big and small. On the threshold, in the hail. Joining in the constant cry. . Erer as the days go by "Where's Mother?" From the weary bed in pain Thla same question comes again; Prom the boy with sparkling area. Bearing home the earliest prise; Prom the Bronxed and bearded son, Perils passed and honors won "Where's Mother?" Burdened with a lonely task. One day we may vainly ask For the comfort of her face. For the rest of her embrace. Let us love her while we may. Well for us that we can say . "Where's Mother?" Mother, with untiring hands. " At the post of duty stands. Patient, seeking not her own. Anxious for the good alone Of the children as they cry. Ever as the days go by "Where's Mother?" f EACH IN HIS PLACE A great war la a nation's supreme teat. To conduct a war successfully requires marshalling all the na tion's resources as well as Its phy sical strength. It Is the part of the young men to make the . nation's physical strength felt on the firing line. It Is the part of those who cannot give their services at the front to be the sustaining forces be hind the line. It is the part of the women to fill In the roles that the men have been playing and to keep op the nation's efficiency. It Is the part of those who can afford It to lend their capital to enable the na tion to prosecute the war with the greatest effectiveness. It Is Inconceivable that the people of the United States will ever be call ed upon to meet the privations which this war forced upon the people of Europe. Five million European homes have been vtolted by death itself. Fine cities have given place to rulna. Rich and poor have gone on government food rations; Indi vidual liberty has been sacrificed to national unity of action In order to gain rational efficiency. Women, who have been accustomed to fine clothes and the constant round of entertainment, have taken their place aa day laborers In munition factories. All of this sacrifice has been made for a cause that Is as much ours as theirs. The violation of the neutral ity of Belgium was Just as much an affront to America as to Great Brit ain. German autocracy threatens the perpetuity of free Institutions everywhere alike. The Important thing now Is for Americans to realise that this Is 'our war and as participants, we must do onr utmost to bring It to a suecess- I Lunui VJUUU KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY QUALITY FIRST . fui conclusion. The thing which is moat available and which can be given at once Is our wealth. It ia the patriotic duty therefore of every American to help make the Liberty loan an overwhelming success. It should be considered a privi lege by Americans to help oar brave allies who hare made sock heavy sacrifices. The buying ot a $50 li berty bond means that yon are lend ing of your reserve to pay to keep a soldier on the firing line. The gov ernment estimates that every $50 bond sold will keep one soldier in the trenches for ten days. Compare the two services yon loaning money at a good rata ot Interest with the bast security la the world, and the other man offering his all at the temple of free Institutions. WORTH SAVING The liquor Interests are raising a great hue and cry against the state ment that there are now (00,000.000 bushels of grain used In the menu factnre of liquor in America an- nualy. The statement is an exaggera- Uon by about 100 per cent, but ItjS. Bramwell. Sam H. Baker, P. B. is the identical statement made by ' the liquor people, and no one else, when they were comlbatlng the cam paign ,for prohibition. In an effort to show how Important a market tor farm produce the distilleries and breweries are. Based on figures obtained on In flow of grain and output of product from representative breweries. It was estimated that 200,000,000 bushels were so consumed annually. One of the United 8tates revenue officials af terwards cut this to 135.000,000 bu shels. But even so, the waste Is enormous. It amounts to about 11,- 000.000 loaves of bread dally. This amounts to practically 10 per cent of the amount necessary to sustain the people of this country. Is not that worth saving? TO PREVENT EPIDEMIC OF INFANTILE PARALYSIS New York, June 1.

The rules provide for a volunteer sani tary relief corps of experienced dis ease fighters, and for strict quar antine of all suspected cases. i Morse's '.Naver-faUin.4 i -w Wi Now is the Time to Plant Sweet Pea.

Under the direction of the good roads committee of the Chamber of Commerce, parties are to visit every rural district In Josephine county. In cluding Wolf Creek. Lelandf Hugo, Merlin. Murphy. Williams. Wilder vllle. Selma. Kertjy, Holland and Ta ktlma. Those who have volunteered for this work are O. S. Blanchard. C. A. Wlnetrout, Fred A. Williams. Frank Herman, George E. Lundburg and J. D. MacVlear. The campaign started today and will be kept going until the polls open Monday morning. Friends of the bond measure are feeling much encouraged over the situation as they find It throughout the county. People living at a dis tance from the Pacific highway have been feeling that all funds allotted to this county will be used on that road and they-would not be benefit ed thereby. An explanation of the facts, showing them that by making the Pacific highway a hard surface road, the county tax money hereto fore spent for maintaining that road can be spent on other county high ways; and also that assurances have been received by the county court that If the $6,000,000 measure car ries, the county may expect addition al help on the Crescent City road, has changed the attitude of the rural voter quite materially. TO Corporal Joseph A. Broderick, who has been In charge of the local re cruiting station since before the declaration ot war, leaves for the east tomorrow night. He will be succeeded by L. Tlngley, In charge of the local recruiting office. The local office Is in receipt of In-1 Btructlons from the department at j Washington, clearing up some moot- i ed questions regarding the registra tion law. Among them are: Helstratlon Ib no bar to enlist ment In the regular army, 'jut when a limn has once lionn selncted for the new army he cannot enlist In! the regulur army. i Men accepted for enlistment prior to June .", but not actually enlisted before that date must register. Captain Hudbscher In charge of the uriny resulting office at Portland 1 wires the local office staling that progress In recruiting work Is unsatisfactory. He says that a recrultingd campaign of HO days has netted less than 50 per cent of the war quota for the regular ar my. There are M new regiments' being formed at 1 K concentrating sta- Hons, Which means thai 1011,000 re-! emits are needed Immediately, Every day's delay In raising those re cruits means time lost In trnlnlng and preparation. Captain Huehscher urges that re cruiting he speeded up to maximum Intensity. SPlEljjY OF TRUCKS TO MAW W Washington, June 1. The new American army will he supplied with motor trucks as rapidly as they are needed through the development of j the government's present plans. Bids 'have already been asked on order Lot from 1 to 35,000 trucks ot light and heavy types, known officially as ! das A and class B, and present es timates Indicate that they can be le- ! cured from the existing manufactur ing plants aa fast as they are re quired. The war department has no present expectation that It will have to resort to commandeering privet machine in commercial ser vice. The new army trucks will be of a construction which would handle In commercial service, loads of ap proximately three to five tons, re spectively. The bids will be opened In Chicago on June 10. Arrange ments are also being mad to secure the necessary driver. PACIFIC XA8T TO HAVE i SIX KUIMAKIXE IIA8KN Washington, June 1.
