OREGON, August 2, 1918 The Portland Oregonian Bounds the keynote of public aentiment when it says, in summing up the threatened break of Turkey with Germany: "Nor would the enlightened opinion of the civilized world welcome a cessa tion of war with Turkey, much less the enlistment of that country with the allies. The existence of Turkey, and of the Kroup of small, weak states which have broken away from Osnianli rule is correctly regarded as the chief cause of the war, as it has been of most of the European wars during the laHt century. The world wants to see the end of Turkey as the breeding place of wars. Consent of President Wilson and Premier Lloyd George that Turkey should retain Constantinople and Thrace as their national home is condemned by many for the Turks have consistently acted as a band of murderous, oppressive, robbing intrud ers; they have not estalished their right by amalgamation with the native population or by giving the least ap proach to decent government; and they arc a bare majority of the population of their capital. They should be driven from Europe back to their real ances tral home which is Anatolia. There would be greater joy at an American declaration of war on Turkey than at that country's secession from the Ger jnanic league, for that might clear the j way to extinction of a curse to the world and to regeneration of some of the world's richest territory." of his party during the fall campaign. If we stop for a moment to consider, we arrive at the conclusion that Mr. Hays and his party do not necessarily have to wait until fall to meet the issue. In fact, the issue of winning the war has been with us for over fif teen months, and has been met in the sending of a million and a half of sol diers to the trenches of France, sol diers who are now engaged in really showing the Hun that the Kaiser is due for a crushing defeat. If Mr. Hays or any of his Republican friends haven't met the issue long before this, it is because they wanted to pickle it in politics. Declaring the regular quarterly div idend of 1 1-4 per cent, other special dividends and setting aside 190,710,260 for estimated income and excess war profits taxes, United States Steel granted all employes a flat advance of 10 per cent increase in wages. This is the seventh increase in wage made by the company since January 1UIH, and aggregates 76 per cent. This is one way of getting along with the labor problem. It might help some for other business enterprises to try it once in awhile. WOULD KEEP LOVE IN WORLD It's a mean man who v.ill kill an other man's dog. It's a mean person also, who will dump a sack of kittens on a community that is already over taxed with a feline population. KaiBer Hill must surely be on the toboggan slide of decadent scurviness, when even the unspeakable Turk will have nothing more to do with him. The soldiers of the crown prince have tasted with bitterness American valor and metal. Even Hun barrages will not stop the Yank. Chairman Will 11. Huys of the na tional Republican Commit too says that "Winning the Wit" will be the issue There is a marked contrast in being the nut to the cracker, and being the cracker to the nut.

'Vst o ' Tread We Set Tire Standards Why is it that United States Tires are setting new records for mileage and serviceability ? Why is it that the sales of these tires are constantly mounting by leaps and bounds? The answer is found in the fac tories where United States Tires are made. Standards of construction for these tires are higher than ever be fore known in the tire industry. Makers of tire fabrics tell us that the standards we have given them for United States Tire fabrics ate higher than any previously known. Likewise through every process of construction from crude rubber to finished tires we have set new and higher standards everywhere. These standards work out on your car in the practical economy de manded by war-times. United States Tires will raise any car to higher efficiency. There is a type to suit every con dition of service. The nearest United States Sales and Service Depot dealer will cheer fully aid in selecting right tires for your requirements. United States Tires Pathetic Plea Made by Austrian Woman More Than Her English Sister Could Refute. She was a little Austrian woman and she was crossing the ocean on a great hostile liner. Most of the other women were the wives of Engli&hmeft, and they could not forget that her country was at war with their land. They Ignored her, and she was left much to herself. And yet One morning as she was walking up and down the deck In her solitary way she passed the steamer chair of a middle-aged English woman who was knitting at a gray woolen sock, re bites a writer In the Christian Herald. And suddenly she paused In her walk and held out both of her hands. "Oh," she cried, In very good Eng lish, "will you not let me knit a few rows on that sock?" The English woman looked up. And her face was cold and rather hard. "I think," she taldi "that you would scarcely Want to knit on this sock I For It Is going to an English eolonet my husband!" The little Austrian woman looked at the colonel's lady. And there wer tears In her eyei, "Listen," she said In a low, shaking voice. "I, myself, have a son. He Is an officer In the Austrian army. Hut If you knew my son I do not think you would hate him ! If I knew the colonel, your hus band, I do not think I would hate Mm either. " She paused for a moment before she went on, and then "now that the world Is torn by war," she said, "we women must do what we can to keep a little love In It May I, perhaps, knit a few rows on the sock?" Silently, but with tears In her own eyes, the English woman handed over the gray wool. OBEDIENT TO OLD COMMAND Palestine Farmers Still Remember Biblical Injunction In Refer ence to the Gleaners. After the lentils and similar crops of the bean family have been gathered In by the Palestinian farmer, the barley harvest comes next, and lastly tho wheat. When harvesting, the men wear leather apron and sometimes a large padded glove. The women have hone of Ibe protection provided for them, says the Christian Herald. Sickles are of two kinds, one, the kaloosh, Is small and with quite a dull edge and Is employed when the crops are short and scanty. These do not cut the sfraw, but rather help pull up the grain by the roots or break off the brittle stalks. The other, called man pal, is much larger and supplied with short, slanting teeth, and Is used on llu! tall, well-grown grain fields. Heaping with these simple imple ments and binding the sheaves with their own straw, n considerable amount Is left behind and many of the ears drop off, but once the reapers have advanced, they, actuated by al most religious scruples, will not pick up that which has been dropped, even though they be severely poor them selves, for they unwittingly follow a command not given to them but to for mer inhabitants, the tillers and reap ers of this land: "And when ye reap the harvest of yonr land, thou slmlt not make clean riddance of the cor ners of thy Held when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest." To Save Foolish Motorist The officials of tho Long Islund railway have begun another year's campaign to try and prevent motorists from committing suicide by driving In Braking Airplane While Flying. A braking mechanism for airplanes has recently been Introduced, accord ing to the Popular Science Monthly. This consists of two rectangular planes of small area, mounted ou a shaft that runs along the rear edge of the main plane, and pusses through the fuselage. Tho control Is by means of a hand wheel and connections, which act In conjunction with a handbrake, When mi airplane Is Hying at a rate of n hundred miles an hour ttie nlr pressure Is not less than 80 pounds to the square foot. It will thus lie seen that the added resistance of a few extra square feet of canvas bus a very great retarding actlou on the speed of the pluue. Scouts' War Gardens. The food production and garden campaign of the Hoy Scouts of Amer ica Is well under way. says Boy's Life. Every scout and, Indeed, every troop and every local council, according to reports, Is definitely Interested In some way. This year every scout is asked to be responsible for securing one adult to Rgree to w ork with him on the scout's Individual garden or on the troop gar den or on the local council garden. The adult might be a scout's father, his brother or his sister's best fellow, his uncle or Indeed any man who will faithfully stick to the job until the crops are harvested. We know United States Tires are good Tire's. That's why we sell theui. BUNCH BROS, Adams; ATHENA GARAGE, J3UR&E & SON Spaniards Gave Name to Cigar. However strange it may appear, It Is a well-establlslied fact that the word cigar is derived, though In a round about way, from the clende that Is, from the Spanish "elgarral," the place where the clcude (In Spanish "clgarn ") sings the garden. The name elgarral Is generally applied to a kind ot pleas ure garden and summer house (as In ihtrHagnljDi XuUdJtt. rati p C.iitm In particular to n tobacco" garden or nursery. After the discovery of the new world the Spaniards who planted tobacco in their gardens when offering the plant to their friends were wont j to say : "Es un elgiirro de mi elgarral," us we would say "a flower from our garden. I he name remained. Watches on Trim Ankles. Residents of Newark, Del., suffered a shock the other afternoon when two well-known young women appeared on Main street wearing ankle watches. There were several narrow escapes from accidents when drivers of auto mobiles forgot their wheels in the ex citement of the moment. Nearly every store door and window held a rubberneck and repeated calls of "What time is It?" but the young women did not seem to mind In the least the furore they were raising. They were neatly and attractively dressed. They wore low shoes, with black silk hose, the watches strapped to their trim left ankles, Ono old resl denter who got a closer view of the watches remarked: "Well I be . I have read of such things, but never saw it before, and right here nt home." ' held'as usual on the lawn of the Chris tian church, whose new minister will ' speak.

Some months ago a group of Pnta gonlan capitalists sought and obtained a concession from the Argentine gov ernment to establish a packing plant In Itlo Grande, In the territory of Tier ro del Fuego, the southennost district of the republic. The plant was. to fur nish a market for the stock of the sheep and cattle owners of that dls trlct, and to stimulate the growth of the Industry there. The company or ganized, brought In the necessary ma chinery, and commenced nt once on the construction of the plant Itself. On February 20 operations were begun with the killing of 10.000 animals. Duty That Lies Near, If only It could be Impressed upon each and every one of us that we must do our duty, whatever that duty iiiuy be and wherever It may be, just us well as we possibly can, what a tre mendous thing It would be. It has been said that if the American people would save just 10 per cent of what they have formerly spent the war would be won and victory would be assured. The girl In the home can do a tremendous part In the winning of this war she can save In many ways, she can work in many wuys and she does not have to have any special tal ent for It either. Character and Industry, these are the things that count, these are what make life really worth the living. 23 Years Ago.

TUe excitement in the Palouse coun try over the appointment of receivers. for mortgaged farms continues to grow and on two or three occasions an out break has been narrowly averted. In the recent war between Japan and China, the Japanese forces numbered Ii0,9;9, and the casualties were as fol lows: Killed in battle 784; died of wounds, 211; died from disease, 8,148. Total deaths 4,110. The subjugation of an empire of 400,000,000 people by another nation with a loss of only IB4 men killed in battle is the most remarkable record in history. The Churches.
