But the aspect of the whole situation will undoubtedly change without any assistance being asked of the Colonel. tXTHKNA. OREGON, JAN. 25.. ..1918 Senator Chamberlain's bill for the creation of a war cabinet of three, and munitions director, doubtless has merit and on the face of the magnitude of effort the'United States Government is called upon to assume in the world war, any creation of help of the proper kind should be acceptable and support ed by the administration. But to say that the military establishment "has fallen down" because of inefficiency in the government, as stated by Mr. Chamberlain at a republican banquet In New York City, is but to admit the interpolation of politics into the con duct of America's war program and alienate Administration support from the Chamberlain measure. The state ment attributed to Oregon's Senator giaa wholly uncalled for and the fruit it bore is attested by the prompt move Colonel Roosevelt makes on the polit ical checkerboard. He followed Cham berlain on the next train from New York to Washington, and edged into The friends of Ben Olcott, up this way, would be pleased to read an nouncement of his candidacy for Gov ernor. They feel that Ben has served long enough where he is, and are anx ious to boost him into the Governor's chair. And these friends we speak of are by no means all republicans. By virtue of comparison, It is oppor tune to say there is nothing in common between Homer Watts and T. T. Geer, when the attributes of the canine fam ily are taken into consideration. "lab." would doubtless prefer the expert and humane opinion of the late Senator Vest to that of Oregon's ex-governor. The republican party in this state is giving the voters in its coming prim aries some excellent men who are an nouncing their candidacy for the office of State Treasurer. No less than three out of the seven aspirants would fill the office creditably, for they bear the stamp of efficiency. How about that "jigger" or some other sort of machine the County Court was going to put at work tearing up and surfacing the macadam road? A report from Mr. Slover's committee is in order. reflect credit on our republican form of government in the estimation of the Russian Bolshevik!?

I have just received notice from my home office that on account of the Government taking over several of our boats and calling in two series of our barrels that it is going to be impossi ble to ship in car lots as has been here in the past. So I am taking this means of let ting you know the difficulties we are going to have this season in the line of storage, and ask your co-operation along these lines that you make im mediate plans for your private storage, that we may be able to take care of your needs when the"rush comes. I want youto think this over serious ly as any one can see what the results would be if we are not able to get our distillate when we need it; and I think We owe it to ou Country that we take care of our own needs in a time like this and not depend on some one else to supply us with storage when there is no telling what moment the Govern ment may take our tankers and barrels if they need them for transportation purposes. Call in and talk this over with us at any time and we will be glad to help you all we can. Resp. yours, Guy Cronk, Agt. Standard Oil Co. NOTICE.

The Use of Different Materials Dee Not Causa Electrolysis, Among dentists there Is a difference of opinion ns to whether the tilling of two cavities in one tooth with different metals one with mercury amalgam, one with gold, for Instance will cause rapid decay of the tooth through elec trolytic action between the two metals. The matter was submitted to the edi tor of the Electrical Review, who re plies that If the amalgam Is thorough ly mixed there la no danger of elec trolysis, but that if the mercury be not properly Incorporated In the mass chemical action is quite likely to fol low. He says that be and a dentist experimented with voltaic piles made of gold and amalgam, with blotters wet with sodium chloride and later with acetic acid, and when the amal gam had been properly mixed they were unable to measure any electro lytic action. When decay does follow In such cases, he says, it is due not to electro lytic but to chemical action. This causes disintegration of the filling, and, of course, as soon as this has begun l the adds of the mouth and the Juices of the food can penetrate to the unpro tected surface of the cavity and start further decay. And this takes place Irrespective of whether or not gold has been used near by. GRAVELY Chewing Plug contain Mere Tobacco and less heavy tweetentna than ordinary plug.

When It Comes Out of the Eaet It Beare an Evil Repute. No one has a good word for the east wind. In whatever part of the world it blows it is of III repute, and this evil name began In old times. At least one of the plagues of Egypt came on the wings of the east wind. "The Lord brought on cast wind upon the land and when It was morning the east wind brought the lo custs." "Thou, Lord, bleakest the ships off Tarsblsh with an cast wind," cries the psalmist. "I will scatter them aa with an cast wind before tbo en emy" was the word concerning Judah that came to Jeremiah from the Lord. "Thus snlth the Lord God" of Jerusa lem, according to Ezeklel: "Shall it not utterly wither when the east wind toucheth it?" "And the east wind dried up her fruit," says the Bame au thority, speaking again of Jerusalem. Thus the stigma lias come down the centuries. "Wind of the clinging mists and gray, harsh ralus," a modern poet calls It. Good old Izaak Walton knew Its malefic Influence when he wished, for the honest angler, that the east wind might never blow when he went fish ing. Indianapolis News. The Churches. Methodist Episcopal Church. Among the good things booked for the, Methodist church are: Feb. 6, Dr. W.fj. Herwig, in his great patriotic address, "A Boozeless Democracy;" Feb. 9, Rev. H. F.

The pastor especially appreciates the grow ing attendance at the Sunday evening service?. You will find a warm wel come at all these meetings. Cornel Walter S. Gleiser. Animal Sentries. Man Is not alone In using sentries to guard bini from danger. Birds and an Imals have been doing this for count less ages. Every gunner who knows anything about bunting geese is famil iar with the fact that If be is to be successful he must always evade the wild goose picket. Most birds that congregate in flocks, particularly In winter, always put a picket on guard. Tbo golden plover Is an example of this. The British star lings conduct their movements on mili tary lines. The beaver always posts a picket on guard, and that probably accounts for the reason that so few ore ever seen, although their work Is much In evi dence. Sentries of the wild are often killed "doing their blt."-New York Sun. Evidence Required. The editor of the locul paper believed that he was doing a kindly act by sup pressing from the list of "drunk and disorderly" on market day the name of a country subscriber that by rights belonged there. The subscriber, how ever, did not regard the omission as a favor. "I suppressed your name for your wife's sake," the editor politely ex plained.
