Ono Year fl.no Blx MontliB D Three MontliB . 50 THUltSDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1917 STATU DIVISION NOW. Wo surely started something when wo printed the Interview with "Dill" llanley suggesting that Oregon bo cut In two and n new state created from tho section east ot tho Cas cades. Tho proposition tins boon commontcd on overywhoro nnd now comes tho Oregon Journal with n howl that sounds Just like a regular county division argument. In splto ot what tho Journal says wo have not noticed any agitation for tho re-unlon of North and South Dakota, Virginia and West Virginia, or of any two othor states that might, on tho Jour nal theory, comblno nnd reduce taxes. Hero is what the Journal says, fol lowing comment by the Valo Enter prlso on the division plan: "Tho division of Oregon Into two states Is advocated oy tho Vale En terprise as follows: " 'Wo aro surprised at the support that has como to the Idea of forming a new state out ot Eastern Oregon. Tho suggestion seems to bo ripe. Ex pressions of approval have como from many places. Now tho one most practical policy to bring about such a result, and In the meantime to guar antee a full application ot what In fluence iMs interior can accomplish is to elect men to our legislature who Mrlll pull together, not for Portland, nor for 'befogged Willamette valley, but for Eastern Oregon. "It is true that a division ot Oregon into two states would make moro political Jobs and more salaries to pay. There would bo two governors to elect where there Is only one now, and four United States senators In stead ot two. "Statesmen and near statesmen who aspire now but cannot connect up with a high Job would have their chances doubled. If' one of them could not realize his high ambition on this side of the- mountains, ho could move over Into the new state and try it there. "It would mako political celebrities now in Eastern Oregon far more Im portant by removing them from com petition with the shining luminaries at the state capital and in Portland. As a plan to make green fields, lovely pastures and fat pickings for poli ticians tho proposed division would bo llko a bequest from a millionaire rel ative or a fat pension from a prodigal government. "But for the pocketbooks of tax payers and the average run of peo ple, division would be a calamity, and It would doubtless be so regarded by very many people ,in Eastern Oregon and by that great region which the Valo Enterprise refers to as the be fogged Willamette valley." cultles, annoyances and privations caused by the war.

Hlttman Is tho president ot tho Log Cabin Baking Company in Portland. Ho was born In Germany but today Is as loyal nn American citizen as can be found. Ills example Is ono to sot boforo others born in n foreign land, especially Germany or Austria, and may well bo taken to heart by some born In tho United States. Komarks made by Mr. Hlttman to his employes during tho lied Cross membership campaign nro worthy ot rcmombrnncc. Said Mr. Hlttman: "I left Germany because I liked this country bettor. I raised a family in this country, built up a business ot which I can be proud. 1 have made lots of friends In this country. There fore, why should I bo disloyal to this country? 'There should be no party lines, no sect lines, no different opinions. There Is only ono flag and wo should stand by It. I have had tho question put to me more than once as to how I feel about this war, and that Is In variably tho way I answer. .'You must be loyal. Every man, woman and child helps to win tho war in Germany, and thcrcforo Germany still stands undefeated. Wo aro now at war against that country, and un less every man, woman and child stands by this country, wo cannot de feat Germany. "Wo must do our bit for the Red Cross. Wo must Invest at least part of our savings In Liberty bonds. We must help tho Y. M C. A. We must save that wo may havo enough to feed tho boys at the front."

"A new decalogue of the war for women has been arranged by the pro fessors of tho University of Turin," says Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, chair man ot the woman's committee ot the Council ot National Defense. "This decalogue, like that of the Scriptures, applies to both men and women, and by close attention to Its rules, everyone will be able not only to do her part, but to do it so sys tematically and efficiently that there is no demand the government could make that would not find us prepared to respond at once. If every family kept this decalogue where it could bo In view overy day, it would remind them of their duty as well as the glory of sharing in tho great new struggle -which wo trust shall bring to us a fulfillment of the Spirit of Him who camo to bring 'Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men.' " Tho decalogue is as follows: 1. Do not chatter. Keep to your self tho news you hear, your own im pressions and your apprehensions. 2. Do not listen to alarmists, to slackers, or to those who would spread discouragement. Silence them, 3. Be moderate In your spending, neither lavish in gifts nor sordid in your economies. Let everything in your Ufo, oven your dally expenses, take on at this moment Its true na tional importance. 4. Encourage national industries, avoiding Imported goods, oven though thoy may seem "better and less costly than those made at homo. G. Do not look upon tho departure to ho front of those dear to you as an abandonment.

Why bo so careful about saving sugar? Because sugar Is a necessary food, and not Just something that wc llko to cat because of tho taste. Sugar Is tho food that helps the body to stay warm, and It also provides It with energy. That Is why soldiers, exposed In the trenches and working under great strain, should havo sugar more sujar, oven, than thoy needed at home. And tho people of tho allied countries, working harder than they ever did- before, to keep up with their country's needs, should also havo much moro sugar than they are getting. Statesmanlike Silence. "You nre not hnvlng much to about local elections nt present." "No." replied Senator Sorghum.

There's something very romantic iiboiit the envalry, something very tliillllUK about the thunder of bun .beds of horsesVhoofs, something that makes one's heart leap with Joy or terror, or u mixture of both. Fur my elf, If I were "the enemy," I believe IM much rather face it mnehlne gnu tin ii a cavalry charge, writes Mary Woodson Shlppey In the Southern Woman's Magazine. But, somehow, the cavalry has not proven practicable In the present war, and as France and England can furnish about nil that might be needed, most of our cavalry lire to be made Into artillery, because of the great need of artillery. In fact, nil the new cavalry regi ments are to be Iraliiud as artillery men, while the old ones are being trained as Infantrymen, although they will all keep their designation as cav alrymen. This gives them a double dose ot training for they must bo able to drill equally well afoot or on horseback us, well as n double lot to learn. But they till Insist, to a man, that they're not Infantrymen -or "doughboys" and "leather-necks," as they derisively call them but "dis mounted cavalry." Anil so be It, since they nre so terribly proud of their branch of the service and so loyal to It. There were fully ns many, or more, of these "dismounted cavalrymen" up on tho hills going through regular In fantry drill ns there were cavalrymen astride horses hundreds of them, olle-drah units marching, marching everywhere among the wheeling, cir cling horses, milking one dizzy Just watching. And standing about on lone prominences were various ofll cvrs, silent, alert, their horses like statues If statues could switch an grily at tiles their keen eyes watch Ing very critically this iiriuy of these United States grow, picking out the mistakes and flaws In undcr-offlccrs and men.

And how young the most of them seemed I Slim, smooth-chceked'boys, their fuces Just growing up to the squnre manli ness of their trim shoulders, for the cavalry takes younger boys thuu any other branch of the service.

When Nathaniel Ripple was Just n youngster he did very little work about the plnce. In fact he didn't do nny thing. But one day, when he wns nl most ten years of age, he decided to take some of the work ofT his mother's ihoulders. When breakfast was over he ordered his mother to tint front porch. He was going to wash the dishes for her. When they were tin Ished he called her to look at them, nnd she was very much surprised. .She could hardly believe that he hud dune nil that work by himself. 'I hen he told her that hu was going to wash them for her every meal. Of course sho was glml, and she told Mm he might run out nnd play. 1 1 ltd play? Not a bit of It. He took the broom and swept every lloor In the house. Mrs. Ripple, who Is a very truthful woman, said that he swept them Just as good as she could have done It her self. He then Informed her that he was going to sweep them for her every day. That wits the last time Nathaniel ever wnshed the dishes or swept the doors. Cluudc Culliiii In Kunwis City Stur. MEN'S.

The ninth verse of the fourth chap ter of Kzeklal rends as follows ; "Take thou also unto thee wheat, mid barley, nnd beans, and lentlles, and millet, , , . and put them In one vessel, and rnnke thee bread thereof." In the thirteenth century David Klmchl, tho comtnentntor, wrote: "The prophet thus wiirns the disobedient children of Israel that, during the siege of Jerusalem, they will not long er bo nhlo to mako their bread with pure wheat, but they will hnvo to mix It with nil kinds of grain and vegeta bles with which Dour Is not made, un less extreme need makes It necessary to do HO."
