MAY 11 1917 In the opinion of the Spokesman Re view, Sec. Lane's statement to a council of state governors makes solemn read ing for the American people. The ad ministration has advices that 400,000 tons of shipping were sunk the last week by German submarines and Her bert C. Hoover informs our govern ment that Germany has food to last two years, perhaps longer. This threatens the existence of England and France and alarms the United States. Sec. Lane believes the war will last several years and warns the American people that "if we don't fight it on the other side we will have to fight it on this side of the Atlantic." It is well that Mr. Lane has the courage and vi sion to proclaim the facts and not mince words in doing it. Nothing could be gained by concealing the truth from the nation. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. We must not make the mistake that has cost the allies so dear ly, of deceiving themselves regarding their own weakness and Germans re sources. For more than two years they I underrated the enemy's strength and overrated their own powers, and in con sequence have wasted food and other necessities when they should have been storing up the reserves that are now so badly wanted. The truth may some times hurt, but the truth is always wholesome. Sec. Lane's statement of world conditions calls for a supreme, united and three fold effort. and adjutants generals of New England have conferred together as 1 1 defense of their states. Those of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania have done the sime. Col leges and the churches, labor, lawyers, an i ministers have everywhere express ed their resolve to serve the nation and have taken steps to shape their readi ness into deeds at the right moment. Senator Kenyon of Iowa serves no tice on the Senate that he stands for converting all annual incomes exceed ing 1100,000 into a war fund, thus re lieving the producing class and citizen of moderate means from excessive tax ation to carry on the war. The Senator cites instances of newly made millionaires by the sure, who have made their va3t fortunes directly from opportunity accorded them by virtue of existing conditions, resulting from the war. To this class more than any other would Senator Kenyon shift the burden of financing the war. service, as this church will join in the union service at the High school building, to hear the baccalaureate sermon. The public cordially invited. Sunday should be a gr?at dav. It is "Mother's Day." It is the day when through the Bible School and the church every son and daughter can honor father and mother. The old and yet ever new truth, is a fitting call to the young generation growing up in the midst of our trying days. Soon, many may be called to the colors, and there will be no heart that will so ache and respond as that of mother's. But whether the call comes to go to the front on the battle field or not, there i is always the higher call of honoring j the mother who gave us birth and be ing, and who has answered our needs through the trying years of our child life. Let Sunday be Bible school and 1 church attendance day, and make glad the heart of every mother. Wear a white flow tr in honor of Mother, who is your best friend on earth. In the absence of a commercial as sociation in Athena, the Mayor and City Council have stepped into the breech and will aid the State and County preparedness forces in secur ing data of the agricultural production of this vicinity. Doubtless Mr. Peter son, special agricultural agent, sent out by the State and Federal authori ses considers himself fortunate that the council was in session Monday evening, when he came to tewn. Other wise, he might have found it necessary to make a house to house canvass to explain his mission. The rest of the countrj is still given to varying degrees of anxiety because international affairs are as uncertain and potentially dangerous as ever, but Philadelphia haB passed through its great crisis and faces the future with head erect, eyes bright and a great burden of care taken from its heart. The birds are singing in Philadelphia, the scrapple has got its flavor back, and there is even some talk of recon ciliation between the Penrose gang and the Brumbaugh crowd. For Grover Cleveland Alexander has signed a con tract and all is well. There was little sleep and no mirth in Philadelphia from the time it began to be noised about that the town's mighty pitcher had shown indications of unwillingness to sfRn. When the rumors became authenticated and when, with all th3 other players in the fold, the great Alexander remained outside, a stubborn and unwilling sheep, acute melancholia became epidemic and by night there were omi nous splashes in the Schuykill. Mow, under these circumstances, could the harassed and worried city pay attention to such picayune matters as war and the coBt of food'' War has taught European people and governments to compose or to try to adjust domestic differences. The prospects of war is exerting similar in fluence in tho United States. Through out the nation the resolve to back the president finds voice, and plans for or ganization take shape. Waiting to see what the national government will do gives place to action. The governors The Churches Mothers' Dar at Methodist Church.

The chameleon Is on African lizard of peculiar form and structure. One feature of the chiiini'leun is that his ucck Is so short that he cannot turn Ills bead. To make up for this, however, he lias reoiorknlilo powers of motion In his large, prominent eyes; they move independently of each other and are covered with a membrane pierced only by a small hole for the pupils to look through. The chameleon Is not covered with scales. The body Is raised by tlie legs rather higher than most saurlans, npd each foot has the power of grasping like a band. The animal's lungs are very large, and It has an unusual power of Inflating Itself with air. The tongue Is rcmnrkably extensile. The animal lives upon Inserts, which It seize with Its tongue, darting ut them unerringly, while a viscous saliva causes them to adhere to It. Except for their eyes and tongues, the movements of chameleons arc alow. They lire on the branches of trees, but lay their eggs under leaves cn the ground. The eggs are large, and the chameleon lays ten or twelve. One of their peculiarities Is Ibelr great power of fiistliig. which, coupled with their gulping of air in Ibelr great lungs, gate rise to the fable of the ancients thai they lived on nlr. Their celebrated power of changing color Is not. however, equally fabu lous. This depends upon the presence of two differently colored layers of pigment under a transparent skin, which moy show simultaneously or one at a time or blend. Dental Work That Stands "The Test of Time," I have been fair and square with the people Is the reason I have a lasting reputation in this community for do ing honest, reliable and only the best Dental work. My work stands "The Test of Time." People frequently say "The dental work you did for me sev eral years ago is as good as ever." The only advertisement that I require is the recommendation of the people. I make a specialty of first class dental work ; my prices are reasonable. Peo ple want permanent work. You had better consult me personally about anything in the line of Dentistry. Re member experience counts. Dr. Sponogle. Athena, Oregon Adv. IRON OF THE FUTURE. No Danger of a Shortage Beoause ol Inereased Consumption. Thnt Iron Is the very bitsls of our In dustrial clvHlznil.ai will be admitted by the thoughtful, and many of our greatest supplies of Iron ore nre being rapidly depleted because of the In creased per capita consumption of Iron the world over, an Increase which Is destined to bo greater In the future when the races In Asia and A Meg In crease their consumption of Iron. These conditions of Increasing con sumption mid decreasing reserves huve often in the pust. pitrllcului ly about the beglnnlug of Ibis century, been used to create a scare, on the ground that our supplies of usable ore were being so rapidly depicted that their ex haustion would occur within two or three generations. Tills Is a preposterous point of view, because ns we lower the percentage of Iron in the rock which wo call "ore" (he quantity of such ore increases at a rate out of all proportion to the de crease In Iron content, mid as we use leaner and leaner ores technical im provements will be made which will minimize any tendency to increased cost of production. The same thing has happened In gold, silver., copper and other ores, and to day copper ores nro being worked with only 1.1) per ceut of copper In theui. Chemical Engineering. Dressing Wounds With Sugar, Dr. 0. Magnus reports to the There peutiscbe Monntshefte of Berlin on his success lu treating wounds with ordi nary sugar Tills he sprinkles In a thick layer over a wound thnt has previously beeu washed and dried. He covers It with a dry dressing, which he renews every day. The Journal of the American Medical Association says a great advantage of this dressing Is thnt It docs not stick to the wound, but stimulates a power fit! secretion, which flushes out the depths of the wound, while profuse suppuration softens crusts and necrotic tissue and gives a chance for healthy granulation below. When this stage Is reached salves or transplantation take tho place of the sugar. Naval Gunfire. In the Napoleonic era the ships open ed tire with guns at ranges of about 800 yards. The ships of today open Hrc at 1111,000 yards range, and gunllre lieglns to lie very effective at 18,000 yards. The torpedo as tired from sur face rescls la effective up to 10,000 yards range, and this requires that a ship shall keep beyond this distance to tight her guns, says a British naval au thority.

Ucllumr Portland ' y LUMBER IS NOT HIGH Recent reliable statistics show that now is the right time to build. If you have been laboring under the impression that lumber is high, we invite you to carefully" study the following table: PERCENTAGE OF INCREASE SINCE 1914 Copper Metals (26 grades') .. Wheat Beans Gasoline Corn Hogs Oats Lumber Labor .114$ .67$ .46$ ZSfjt 15 to 18 L12 to 15$ If you are ever going to build, no better opportunity in your life will ever come than right now. Take a look at the above statistics and you will immediately begin to realize why LABOR and LUMBER make bp from .1-4 to 9-10 of the total cost of your building. Both are at a comparative ly low level. Lumber right now is BELOW NORMAL. Dn'nt be fooled into believing that lumber is etiher "Scarce or High." It is mother I It never could be bought to better advantage than right now. Our guaranteed material saving plans are prepared by expert archi tects. We can fit your Ideal building to your pocketbook. The Tum-A-Lum method does it I The present LOW LEVEL cannot be maintained long. Exports are practically shut off now, but as soon as the war ends, billions of feet will be demanded by every warring nation at once. The coat of building will naturally GO UP in the U. S. and will probably reach a HIGH point for years, while the reconstruction in Europe is taking place. Don't wait for the high point I Build now while it is possible to build cheaply, even if you have to sell when the high point comes. This is the year to build, and the earlier'in the year you buy, the more you will save. Thousands of buyers have lost money by not buying in January or February. Get in while the pHces are still low.
