Such artlclea are not so fas cinating, ao magnetic aa storiea di rect from tha battle front where our bov are beating back the Huns, yet tha ability of our boya to beat the Euns rests upon the ability of this nation aa a food producer and a food conservjer. ' America a't home must prove to be the man behind the man behind the gun In France. Without the food producers the boya now going over the top would be beaten and eventu ally compelled to lay down ' their arms. In the face of this, food pro duction and food conservation should be looked upon by every man, wom an and child aa one of the most In teresting topics of the present day We can raise any desired number of men to fight we must produce the food to feed them. There are many who think the Ormans are about whipped and that we ought to be allowed to eat all the white flour and augar we want. But such people are very apt to be disappointed the Germans are not whippedand next year might prove a poor crop year. One reason why the administra tion did not rush more troops to France at the outset of the war "was because there was a doubt ct onr ablMty to supply them with the ne cessary food; Our war leaders were going on the principle that a war mayybe lost by having; too man men the field that Is, too many to be fed properly as wag the case with Napoleon when he retreated from Moscow.

SCRAP III IS NEEDED TO AID IK WAR WORK The following letter to the Cham ber of Commerce from the snb-com- mlttee on scrap Iron and steel' at Portland, should be of Interest to every rancher: "Realizing that the various com mercial clubs throughout the state have repeatedly shown their Intense patriotism by aiding every form of activity designed to further or speed, up government war work, we appeal! to you once more for cooperation In meeting a situation which la now so serious that It threatena to retard some of the government's local ship-. building program.

"In order that this metal may not be diverted to any other purpose than the needa of tha foundries of our home state, certain scrap deal- era will be given credential from this committee which they will pre sent to you, and we would ask you to see that the metal collected aa a result of this campaign Is turned over only to anch dealers, to the ex clusion of others.
