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.

"With the dairymen selling th-r businesses a* fast as they are it - t > find purchaser«." «aid Mr Newe l, "with an Increasing volume of til»-« of heavy calves, both male ar. 1 i»m« --, and with already a w -'da shori-i- i of beef, the outlook for future supplies is not as rosy as one mipht wish. "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?"
