' 4 4 t A BUSINESS WAR The prominent business men of oar nation are realising that the allied armies and navies cannot win this war unlees they have behind them the united, effect! re citlsenshlp of their home nations. Step by step the government and the leading bus iness men of this country are or ganizing their mutual affairs better to meet the added duties and re sponsibilities brought upon them by new, war conditions. The demands on business are heavy and the suc cess of the government's program makes It necessary that these de mands be promptly and fully met. The experience, of other belliger ent nations points clearly to the fact that victory In the great straggle will depend largely upon the Intelli gent and speedy co-operation of in , Austria! America; upon this coun ; try's ability to produce raster and better than, ever before the things necessary for efficient warfare. ' The. Chamber of Commerce of the United States at the request of the ' federal authorities has called a con ventlon to be held In Atlantic City, N.J., September 18-21, to consider the special problems affecting the cusJnees of the United States de veloped by the war. To this conven tion,, delegates have been Invited .from every commercial organization ' of the country including the local Chamber of Commerce. Problems such as the following will be pre . eented by leading captains of lndus , try for a general and exhaustive dis cussion: The duty that business owes the government during the war; how . may the country's business men ren der greater service in winning the war; what may be done toward pre venting price Inflation; bow may greater efficiency In transportation be developed; how may business most readily adjust Itself , to the changed conditions produced by the war; food conservation; Industrial relatione and employment problems; foreign trade, banking and credit problems, both with allies and with neutrals; for what re-adjustments after the war must business pre pare; how. will the close of the war affect prices of war materials and finished products; how can we bent plan for replacing our men in in dustry as they return from the war; what new economic, international relationships will develop through the war. It Is gratifying to every American to know that the response to thin Invitation has been prompt and gen eral throughout the country. Am erican business Is thoroughly pa triotic. It Is determined to be In telligently of service In the coun try's cause. Never has greater In telligence or better understanding or the rapidly changing conditions been The amaslng success of the na tional emergency food garden com mission's campaign for home gar dening Is shown by the declaration of a noted bird-woman that from her airplane the whole country looks like a giant dish of succotash. The office boy says that if the gov ernment would go to keeping hens and feed them on cement, there would be no need of so many am munition factories. ; Now la the time for all good wom en to enlist in the preserve corps.

CITY MARKET Phone B2 for Qalek Delivery Mrs. E. A. Wade, who with her husband for the past 23 years haa been actively engaged in business In Grants Pass, has sold ber remaining stock and will retire to private life. Mr. and Mrs. Wade in the years of business won a host of friends who will regret the closing of the place. Mrs. Wade gives a bit or history and. a word or appreciation In the following: The little brick store building, So. 407 G street, Is today vacated and dosed for business until rented,- for the first time since It was complet ed and entered on November 27. 1894, Edwin A. Wade (deceased May 12th) and family thought It would be delightful to establish a home and business that might sup port us as we neared the sunset of life. We purchased the lot or J. O. Booth, at one time county Judge and honored citized or Grants Pass, and Mr. Depuy, perhaps the first brick mason here, erected the building. W. A. Hood and 'M. C. H. Day com pleted the inside and a grocery and feed business was established, but after several years It became too la borious and In November, 1907, It was converted into a dry goods store. We have greatly enjoyed the friend ship and kindly patronage of the good people or Grants Pass and the surrounding country, and appreciate their sympathy and assistance in our great sorrow. In our closing out days we have appreciated the gen erous patronage of the kind people who brought to Grants Pasa the sugar factory, the merchants who have assisted us and to all our friends we say, thank you, and God bless you. MRS. E. A. WADE. Tl MORALS OF CAMP Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 7. City and county authorities here today are determined to protect the morals or the conscripts in training at Camp Lewis, American Lake. Men convicted or selling or giving liquor to soldiers will1 be severely dealt with. Federal Judge E. E. Cushman, Ignoring recommendations for clemency made by federal agents and Assistant District Attorney Plsb burne, show the spirit manifest In the case of John O'Malley. 0Mal- ley Is alleged to have given a sol dier at Camp Lewis a pint or whis key. Cushman sent him to the coun- ' ty Jail for three months. I "An effort may be made to lmKrt j liquor into Tacoma or some of the 1 surrounding towns for the soldiers," ' said one official today. "But we are ' prepared to onforce the law to the 1 letter. The youth or the nation In 'training ror democracy's war must be kept clean."
