It has been officially estimated that 18 months to two years must elapse before all the American boys can be returned from foreign soil. There are the men of many other countries to be transported home when the war ends, so the number of boats for use of the Yankees will be limited Then there Is also the fact that thou sands must remain so long a* the great properties and stores of the United States have not ben disposed of or returned. Immediate cessation of war actlvl- ties in Europe would plainly create grave problems connected with the care of the men. Remove the great motive which actuates every man at the front today and throw him Into dull Inactivity, with nothing much to do but await bls chance to return to home and loved ones, and the work of keeping him cheerful increases in mag nltude. The soldier welfare orgaulza tions foresee all phases of this grave contingency, They foresee how great would be the need for reading matter. entertainments, amusements, recrea- tion and the cheery personal touch. PERSHING WARNS OF PUBLICITY GERMAN Germany's efforts to Involve the United States and her Allies Into a consideration of peace terms and an armistice did not Impress ^ames F. Pershing, brother of General Pershing, as being sincere and designed to give the world what it is praying for. Mr. Pershing, who was In Oregon recently in the interest of the United War Work drive, which opens November 11. cau tioned the American people against the too-common tendency to become apathetic under the idea that peace and the cessation of hostilities are at hand. "When heaven is ready to negotiate with hell,” he declared, "then will America be ready to make peace with Germany." He told of the great work being done in Europe by the Y M C. A., Knights of Columbus, Salvation Army and other agencies, and called on Americans to respond liberally in supporting the campaign about to open for raising money with which to carry on these activities.

BANDON GARAGE COMPANY FOSTER i WILSON GAH. oll.S. Il MI'S, si NhltlES. I XPERT TILE REP XIII Editor of the Western World— Respectability is a matter of conduct, and to question the respectability of some would be r'sky. yet a man to be respectable must be law abiding. Precept without example Is absurd, and any man wh- has taken on hltn- self the responsibility of rearing a son, is a poor citizen unless, law A condition exists In this abiding, all wide city that Is deplorable; awake men are aware of Its existence The constant violations of law, are evident to all, and It Is a disgrace to the respectable element that It can exist. Is the respectable element aware that bootlegging can not be carried on, If they get in earnest about its suppression, There Is not an evil among us but can be removed if it Is the will of the majority to do so Are you willing that a few un principled men shall keep putting it over you in the way it Is being done. Understand, we are a party to this unprincipled trade if we permit It to exist. One man can do but little, tor the silence of the respectable element lends aid to the bootlegger. Fred N. Perkins. Optimistic Thought. A man may joyfully revolt from an unjust ruler. Mr funds to make happy and effective the fighting men of the Nation. That ; the citizens will uphold the common I wealth s notable record in doing its share to win the war is taken tor granted, once the needs are under j stood Oregon's quota in the joint drive of the seven great organizations doing ; war service work is $770.000. Presi dent Wilson authorized this united drive and named the participating i bodies. The purposes for which the funds are needed and to which they I are dedicated are vital to the war’s success. The Y. M. C. A. has more than 2000 huts in the great battle zone and is ministering to the boys overseas. In treueb and camp, leaving undone noth tug it can do to help them. In America the “Y" is in every camp and canton ment. It is with the boys "crossing over” and. at request of the AVar De partment, has recently jolneu In the task of Instructing selectivea even be tore they are called. War work of the Y. W. C. A. is thus outlined by Mrs William MacMaster, State chairman; “Already we have in this country 2,000.000 women doing actual war work, while another 2.000,000 have re leased men for service by undertaking their work. To the Y. W. C. A., 'the best big sister in the world,' has been committed by the government and mill tary authorities the serious respon •lbillty ot directing the thought, creat ing the environment and furnishing the material needs of this army of girls. Already 105 hostess houses have been opened. War Service Clubs organ ised, the Patriotic League created, nurses sen’ where needed and now we are asked to furnish emergency houx tng for thousands of girl war workers.” John W. Kelley, associate drive di rector, says of the Knights of Columbus: "Knights of Columbus halls are in operation In all cantonments, training camps and naval stations In the United States and the balls are also establish ed with the American Expeditionary Forces in France, Italy. Russia and England. The motto is 'Everybody Welcome', service being given irrespec tive of race, creed, or rank. Millions of cigarettes, pipes, bouillon cubes, gum packages and tons of chocolate have been given free to the soldiers over- s< as One of the specialties is the pro motion of athletics and a considerable Item In the budget is for baseball equip ment, boxing gloves, etc. In the war zone the troops are followed with motor trucks which are virtually traveling huts, fully stocked with ath letic goods, stationery, cigarettes, and the like.” Needs and activities uf the Jewish Welfare Board, explained by Ben Sell ing, are: "In one year the number of our field representatives has grown from 10 to 213. Now we are faced with the de mand for 400 additional workers In this country and 100 overseas The money going into our fund pays nec essary expenses and salaries, furnishes i Bibles and prayerbooks by the thou sand* and letterheads and envelopes by the million, and provides camp, edu cational and recreational activities for the fighters, both here and abroad." “War Camp Community Service," explains Emery Olmstead, state chair man, "developed from the commission created by the War and Navy Depart ments. first known as the Fosdlck Com mission. The community Is Its partic ular field and thousands of workers are assisting the towns in caring for visiting soldier* and sailors, providing wholesome amusement and clean rec rest ion and surrounding the camps with hospitality." , Functions of the American Library Association, say* William L. Brewster, state chairman, are “to provide books and reading matter to the soldier* and sailors through cooperating agencies and directly.” Thirty library build ings have been provided at canton ments; 3,760.600 donated books dis tributed; 1,000,000 books and tons of magazines sent abroad, and 600,000 needed military technical books bought end given the men. These are some things the Salvation Army does, according to O. C. Bortz rneyer, state chairman: "On Hoss of communication our huts are open day and night. Then, follow Ing their methods, our men and women go right to the trenches and distribute chocolate, coffee, doughnut, and pies Sixty per cent of the 1000 worker* are women. We have now 703 huts and *0 ambulances In service. In the past few month* aid has been given the Red Cross in sending abroad lOO.OOO parcels." Here's your chance—give to the T M , Y.

"It has been charged in sow,» quarters that the price of milk s. i other products of the dairy have bet n elevated to such an extent at a 1 Pacific northwest points that ’h» da f interests should he making a profit and well satisfied with their 1 it, "Taking onlv the re'atl p’-’ee ** a basis—that which most vitally al': eta the consumer—the price of milk today in Portland Is 16c per quart. "Even with normal prices m'lk is generally sold retail at 10 cents a quart here, therefore the advance is not nearly as marked as in many other lines of foodstuffs. "The dairyman today is paying mors than double the wages of normal y<-a s for his hired help. He is paying murs thau double for his requirements of hay and a very considerable advance over the normal for his brau and shorts. "The cost of milk cans and other dairy utentlls la practically double th« normal The cost of bottles has soar« d to Buch heights as to make one dizzy to think of it. The coat of producing milk today to therefore more than double that of normal periods eten without aunsidering the tact that this has been a very abnormal season ami the production of milk and cream per cow is far below the normal. "Laws enacted during the last few years force the dairyman to add to h -i costs as.a matter of cleanliness The public is no longer willing to toleraie the quality of milk generally marketed a few years ago. All of this costs money and ths dairyman has been paying it while the full charges have not been passed back to the consumer. "It has oftimes been said that a men very seldom quits a business where liberal profits are available The fact tliat so many dairymen ar« quittii it that they ar« not making adetj is that they ar« not making adequate profits—if any at all. "The killing of dairy calves during the present season has broken all records simply because the country producer could not afford to feed them to maturity. Suggestion has been made tn som« quarters that the kill ing of femal« calves be prohibited by law This would indeed solve the prob lem providing some means war« found to feed and keep tho animals "Dairy experts have for years preached the gospel of ‘getting rid of the star boarder'—th« cow that does not pay her expense. Thst la the situation just now. Few are paying their board and ther« is no improve ment of th« situation la prospect "Similar conditions may be spoken of in regard to the future of the beef supply Owing to the shortage and ex treme price of feed more light weight and unfinished cattle have beej marketed in the stockyards of the country during the last two seasona than ever before known The country cannot afford to feed its cattle even at the present price of beef and the journey to market la therefore a neces sity. In fact the government has te- cently requested that the public pur chase beef from Tight weight animals because the stock must be marketed Thia means that many thousands of animals that are today coming to market weighing mound too to 1 o< l pounds, would have showed a weight of at least a third more if allowed to fatten properly. This means an enormous loss In the meat supply t«.‘ the future—a lose that ths country can 111 afford to contemplate." "Why not have milkmaids now a days?" someone asks. There is a cry that the labor conditions are in a bad way as far as the dairies are concern ed. The men have gone to war or into other work and tho cows are being killed off because there is no one to mfTk them "What Is going to become of the children of this country if that goes on?"
