There is a language of the flowers
that is quite complete though little
known.
For Instance, heliotrope
stands for devotion; rose means love;
ivy, friendship;
oak, hospitality;
amilax, constancy; primrose, incon­
stancy, etc. The last definition makes
clesr the derivation of the expression:
‘•Wandering down the primros^path;”
but who originated this language and
why and when are very vexing ques­
tions.

Washington, D. C-, Oct. 21—Testi­
mony recently given before a con­
gressional committee was to the ef­
fect that it requires a minimum of
workmen on the home front to
keep one soldier supplied in the field,
Other testimony indicated that ten
men could not do the task and some
experts stated that 18 was nearer the
correct number than ten.
This râles apolnt that advocates
of a ten million army appear to have
overlooked.
Accepting the lower
figure of ten as the accurate one, it
would require 100,000,900 civilians
engaged in war work to keep a 10,-
000,000 man afmy equipped. Since
this approaches the total population,
young and old, advocates of the
larger army appear to have ignored
some simple mathematics. Even if
the entire nation were put in war
work it would still face the problem
of feeding the war workers—with
none left to do the job.
All this talk of more men in the
army and more in war work continues
to alarm farmers and small business
men. While no definite action hu
yet been announced
it seems likely
ann
that drafting of farm boys will be
halted for a few weeks until con­
gress can pass legislation designed to
avert disaster to the food producers.
Two actions anticipated by wor­
ried farmers and ranchers of the Pa­
cific northwest appear to be pigeon­
holed for some time. The Oregon
Woolgrowers association through its
president, Mac Hoke, has registered
opposition to a ceiling on live lambs,
at least until such time as the critical
labor shortage on farms is solved.
Senator McNary, at the request of
the woolgrowers, took the matter up
with OPA Director Henderson, who
replied that OPA desires to avoid
placing a ceiling on live lambs un­
less it becomes necessary in order to
make other ceilings work. Ho added
that he planned to confer with pro­
ducers before before taking such a
step In the event he should feel that
a ceiling is necessary.
Hop growers got similar good news
No coiling prices on hops Is contem­
plated at the present time.
While many American farmers are
selling their dairy herds because of

periodic inspection of dairy herds.
American families who had sons,
husbands or brothers in the civilian
population of Manila at the time of
the Japanese conquest have received
very scant information about where
they are located. Hundreds of north­
west men were attracted by heavy
construction work on MidWay, Wake
*nd Guam islands ahd at Manila and
Cavite. Guam and Wake people were
overwhelmed early and bave been
taken to central camps. There were
so many civilian Americans in the
Philippines that they were
as a ruMg
_
according to best information, pieced
tn concentration camps on the island
of Luxon.
A report has just been Issued to
the effect that 3,000 interned civilans
•t Manila are held at Santo Tonias
university campus. On this 80-acre
campus these people were landed
pell-mell and found living accom­
modations exceedingly limited. It
is said by office of War information
that the internees were permitted to
organite themselves into something
of an efficient government and by
thpir own labors, using those skilled
in their respective lines, considerably
bettered their living conditions. Iden­
tification of officers and committees
in the governing body is revealed
but no effort is made to give ths
names of others held there. Recently'
the International Red Cross started
a number of letters from relatives in
this country to prisoners of the Jap­
anese, but was unable to offer any
assurance that -the letters would be
delivered.

it’s a symbol of good fellowship

Way back in 1789, she told us,
James Madison stood up in the
Na. 51 of a Soriot
House of Representatives and
made the motion, urging “the
manufacture of beer in every State
of the Union ” And that same year
Massachusetts passed an act stat­
ing that * the wholesome qualities

Then came prohibition . .. thir­

that George Washington and all

men knew all along . .. that no
law ever takes the place of self­

men from one organisation!
To these men, the ideal of service is
nothing new. Railroading has always
inspired devotion to duty, and a con­
ductor wears the stars on his sleeve just
as proudly as a sailor wears his "hash
marks."
We miss these men badly, for we worked

We who are left have the job of getting
troops, equipment and war materials
over the line to the places where they’re
needed, who* they’re needed. And
though the traffic peak in the next few
months will be the greatest we have
ever faced, we promise our men in the
service that we will not let them down.
