UOVERNM EXT INSURANCE
Government war Insurance for
men serving In the army and navy
is properly described by Secretary
IfcAdoo as "the most Just and hu
mane provision ever made by any
nation for it soldiers and sailors."
The man at the front will "go
over the top" with stronger heart
when be realties that if war should
claim him as a victim, Insurance
provided at nominal expense by the
country for which be gives his life
will meet the needs of the depend
nts left at home.
Wives and children, fathers and
mothers or other dependents of the
one who marched away have less
fear for the future In remembering
that the government insurance plan
will safeguard them.
' Persona in service before October
15, 1917. must apply before Febru
ary 12.. 1918, In order to secure the
fuli benefits of government Insur
ance. The automatic Insurance pro
vided by the military and naval In
surance act expires after February
1J.
No enlisted man should delay In
taking advantage of his opportunity
for government Insurance. Re should
take out the entire $10,000 maxi
mum allowed under the law. Ore

A CHANGED WORD
he word "chlnook," whose birth
place Is Oregon, has made its way
slowly as far east as the Missouri
river, as witness the following Asso
ciated Press dispatch from Omaha
under date of January 23:
"A warm spring wind is blowing
across the plains country and the
snow Is everywhere disappearing
under the bright sun. As the Chi
nook reaches further eastward
warmer weather In that direction Is
developing."
This word has lost its original
meaning. Early Oregon pioneers ap
plied the name to the northwesterly
wind that prevails from June to Sep
tember, and makes the summer cli
mate west of the Cascade mountains
the most delightful In the world.
. The wind, or rather the gentle
'breeze, blows up the Columlila river
every afternoon and tempers the
sun's heat. The Chinook Indians
dwelt on the Oregon fnow Washing
ton) const, north of the Columbia's
mouth, and It was but natural that
the white settlers should name the
wind for the tribe from whose habi
tation it come. Always It Is a cool
wind.
Leter the name was applied to

warm wind from the south, not the
wind that bring us our normal
warm winter ruins, but a dry wind
that follows a billiard, more or less
severe, and melts heavy covering
of snow over nkht. In this sense
the word made Ha way about 30
years ago into Wyoming, then into
Colorado, and now we hear It from
the eastern boundary of Nebraska.
In Its later meaning "Chinook" Is
employed aa a noun, an adjective
and a verb. In the "Oregon country"
east of the Cascade mountains as
an adjective to qualify "wind." and
as a common noun and not in quota
tion marks, as used In the foregoing
news telegram. When the first warm
breath comes from the south after
freezing weather yon will hear folks
in eastern Oregon and Washington,
Idaho and Montana say, "It's Chl
nooklng." ,
Thus a local word with Its orig
inal signification changed entirely
has traveled half way across the con
tinent, has received the sanction of
twentieth centnry lexicographers,
and Its first meaning Is all but for
gotten. The present use of "Chi
nook" Is an Illustration of how, even
in our day, language changes.
Evening Telegram.
A move initiated by Hen Sheldon,
former manager of the Chamber of
Commerce, has resulted in the In
troduction of a bill by Congressman
Hawley, (H.'B. No. 04S providing
for the use, at the Grants Pass post
office of a cancellation stamp bearing
the words' "Oregon Caves;" and at
the Medford postoffice such a stamp
bearing the words, "Crater Iike."
Such stamps are In use at Tacoma
advertising Mount Rainier and at a
couple .of Wyoming cities advertis
ing Yellowstone Park. It means that
every letter leaving the local post
office will call the attention of its
addressee and others who handle it,
to the great natural attractions of
southern Oregon.

The American woman demands quality even when she
thinks most about economy. t
That is one reason why Maaola, the pure oil from corn, for
deep frying, sautemg, shortening and salad dressings is now used
in thousands of homes in preference to butter, lard or suet.
And since the Food Administration asks us to save these
fats the housewife is especially glad to have a cooking oil which,
is so pure, wholesome anil economical.
Not one drop of Mazola is wasted it can be used over and
over again as it does not transmit taste or odor from one food
to another.
It is as pure and sweet as the met clcliaitc food rooked in it and it makes fried
foods more easy to digest free from crea.Mncs or socuiiicss.
Use Mazola for your salad dressings, loo r.;!:ei them especially delicious.
Get Mazola from your grocer in pint, quart, half-cnlloq or callon tins: The
i larce sizes give greatest economy. Also ask for the free
