ARE YOU SERVING THE ENEMY?
It Is and must be a characteristic
of this world war for democracy that
each and every one of us serves In it
not now and then, If wo happen to
feel liko It but all tho time, whether
wo liko It or not. If wo go to tho
front wo aro serving; it wo eat less
broad we are serving. When wo write
a letter and put a three-cent stamp
on It we are serving. And we aro
serving in this war Just tho samo if
wo dodge, or attempt to dodge, our
duttes as loyal Americans only we
nro serving the enemy, Prussia.
Without question we sere this en
emy it we fall to do our utmost to
support our great national onganlza
Ion, tho American Red Cross. No
second agency can do so much to
bring cheer, comfort, succor to our
boys to our sons, husbands, broth
ers, "somewhere In Prance." No sec
ond agency can do so much to foster
tho ood will of our allies toward us,
or their whole-hearted confidence In
us. Not to be a member of the Amer
ican Red Cross (and simple member
ship costs $1 yearly) is definitely,
even If thoughtlessly, to help the
Kaiser. There Is no exaggeration In
this statement, c The fighting morale
of our troops, and of thoso of our al
lies, "will very largely depend upon
what you, and you, and you, men and
women of America, enable your Red
Cross to do for them. In the final
analysis It is u pto you.
So if you have failed, through
thoughtlessness- or mere laziness, to
become oven a dollar member of tho
Red Cross, think it over lor one min
ute (or less) then decide that you
are pro-American to the core and
join today.
This Christmas membership drive
of the American Red Cross was
launched expressly to bring ten mil
lion thoughtless Americans Into the
patriotic fold. When the drive Is
over. If you have not joined your
local Red Cross Chapter you will no
longer be allowed to plead thought
lessness. You will be looked at with
growing suspicion by your loyal
neighbors who have the Red Cross
service flag in their windows. And
they will bo right.
Tho entry of Senator Charles Mc
Nary Into the Senatorial race In Ore
gon has been announced. The pre
liminary arrangements are being
made in Salem for h!s "coming out."
While Oregon Is overburdened with
good timber for United States Sen
ator, some Is better than others. We
believe it will be a difficult matter
to find better material than Mr. Mc
Nary. However, Oregon needs the
best at this time, so "let 'em come."

COMMITTEE TO NAME
DELEGATES FOR CLUB
STUDENTS APPEAR IN
HIGH SCHOOL PLAY
Initial Performance of I'ubUc Spcnk
1K Classen In Well Attended.-
(From Wednesday's Dally.)
Although bearing all the earmarks
of an amateur performance, the play,
Dickens' "Christmas Carol," given
last night In the high school assembly
hall by tho students of tho public
speaking department made good In
the first attempt to introduce dra
matics Into tho class work. A good
sized crowd turned out to witness the
Initial performance of the students.
Especially pleasing was tho song,
"Auld Lang Syno," by tho girls' glee
club, accompanied by Constance
Knickerbocker. Tho girls all wore
ralnbow-hued dresses which blended
prettily together. 4
Tho chief part was taken by Marion
Coyner, who appeared In each of tho
coven acts. All tho students wero
plainly unused to appearing in public
but In tho last sceno they livened up
to the tune of a Virginia reol and
showed real spirit. Flvo of the acts
showed scenes, supposedly from
Scrooge's past, present and futuro
life, all working to cause his change
of feart which took place in tho
seventh. Marlcy's spook, with his
cash bojc chains, tho only one with
tho rp&Jstaigo voice, was too modest
to appear from behind the scenes.
Ta.kerjas a whole, tho play was an
encouraging beginning for tho stur
dents, Miss Esther Jane Clarke, who
coached the players, -worked under
dlfflcujtTi and was,, forced to act, as
prompter, stage manager, coach and
chief everything olso, . .. -
(From' Monday's DaUy.)
William Lfaster, formerly of Bend,
has written his parents,, Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Llnstcr, 'notifying them that
ho Is now at Jefferson Barracks, Mis
souri, where hV enlisted as an auto
electrician in the aeroplane section
of the army. He passed the prelim
inary examination and at the time of
writing, stood a good chance to get
through tho second one.
Mr. Llnster was formerly a stu
dent of the Bend high school. Ho
left last winter for Detroit, Michigan,
to study his trade.
TO HOLD TL'KKBY SHOOT.
P. Huntington, of Sisters, who was
in town yesterday, announces that on
Friday, tho Slst. ho will hold a tur
key shoot at Sisters to which the pub
lic is Invited. If Friday Is stormy,
the shoot will be held on tho next

(From Wednesday's Dally.)
Tho selection of five representa
tives to attend tho coining sessions
of tho Oregon Irrigation Congress
In Portland as delegates from tji
Bend Commercial club will bo mada
by the Irrigation committee of tlie
club. This was tho only club bus
iness to come botoro the meeting this
noon. The balance of the business
session, following tho luncheon, wai
takon by County' Agriculturalist R. A.
Ward Willi a description of the 'work
of his office as planned for tho com
ing yoar. An outline of tho work
was printed In Tho Bulletin ester
day.
"EAT MORE CHEESE
AND SPUDS," AYER
(From Monday's Dully.)
"It In a perfectly ubvlotiH economic
law that If tho producer does not find
n ready market ami rocolvo a fair
cotuponmitluii for his product, pro
dilution will fall off and higher prices
will result."
Federal Food Administrator W. II.
Ayer calls tho attention of tho Ore
gon public to tho uutHliull axiom on
It applies to Oregon chcemi and Ore
gon pntutues. In these two Important
food commodities tho producer has
done his share, Mr. Ayer points out,
and now It Is up to tho consumer.
"Tho host of Oregon creani cheese
ami Oregon potatoes aro now to be
luftl In abundant quantities and at
reasonable prices," said Mr. Ayer In
an Interview, "and Orogon peoplu
should make n liberal uso of both in
their diet. In potatoes aro united an
abundant nnd easily digested supply
of starch and vuluablo mineral salts,
with n distinctive appeal to the pal
ate. Of this valuable food wo have
a splendid supply this year, and there
should be a greater consumption of
this Oregon product In this state
tho nearer thu point of production the
better, ns all railroad shipping space
Is needed for tho transportation of
other Important commodities.
"Cheese Is one of tho most useful
foods that wo can now buy, If con
talus In condensed form pructlcnlly
all the food value of milk nnd Is rich
Lin protein. Americans have largely
depended upon meat for protein, nnd
slnco we must couservo meat, wo aro
fortunate In having a good supply of
cheese at hand to makn up tho de
ficiency. Oregon creani cheoao Is of
splendid quality, and may be pro-
pared In many nppetlzlug ways for
use as a meat substitute. Every Ore
gon family should cat more of this
wholesome, homegrown food, nod
thereby not only vary their customary
diet, but at tho same time glvq need
ed support to two Important Oregon
thdustrlcs, tho manufacture of' chcesu
and tho dairying Industry. Let ev
eryone cat more cheese." '
