OREGON, OCT. 25, 191B It Germany in reallv becoming dem ocratized Wilson will know it, unci Foch will do the rest. No question then but what a real armistice will be realized and a just world peace dic tated by the victorious allies. But Defore Wilson and Foch set about their duties every artery of Boche intrigi e will have been tapped nd every ves tige of camouflaged diplomcy uncov ered. There will be no "scrapB of paper" in this square deal to all coun tries, all nations, all peoples. For every drop of blood that has been spilled by the allies on Flanders Field, and ether battle fields; for every wo man outraged; for every child or phaned; for every city luthlessly razed pillaged and burned a just indemtity and portion of misery should be ex acted from the hellish militarists w 10 are responsible for the war. The retreat of the Hun is on terri torial scale not unlike a huge fan in process of closing up. The American armies are the handle of the fan be fore Metz. which is the pivot of the Hun turning movement. Were this hsndla to crumple up, instant demor alization would follow in the retreating ranks of the German armies. He is throwing his best troops against the Yanks in his endeavors to keep the handle of the fan from breaking. You can depend upon it that when Foch gives the word, wh'ch will be given at the proper time, the handle will be broken, and broken by Pershing's American soldiers. Then the boches will be hurled pell mell across the Hhine, for nothing can then stay the inevitable debacle. Athena went over the top Saturday noon in the Fourth Liberty Loan drive with $S00 to the good, that amount being excess of her quota of $1H8,000. Athena generally leaps over the top, though sometimes not so quickly as other places where the quota is placed within easy reach of attainment. Sat isfaction is felt on the part of the local executive committee in the fact that the subscriptions to the second largest quota awarded by the State committee in Umatilla county are universally distributed among the inhabitants of the community, as the names of the 451 subscribers attest. . , Hit In a recent address before a German American society, Colonel Roosevelt told the members that had he been permitted to take a division to France, nothing would have pleased him better than to have taken a majority of men of German blood, and to have served under Major General Kuhn would have been giatifying honor. All of which is all right, but why be so emphatic about it at this time' Kernel Wood, Weston's super-man discloses physiognomic perception in connection with other of his ponderous accomplishments when he alludes to us in his scurrilous rag as having fac ial likeness to a black sheep. Tha's alright (hie) ol' sport. If you have anything on the wverage billy goat, the camera never vet disclosed it I Since these college sharps have been trapping millions of smut spores that have tloated into Eastern Oregon all the way from California, it is barely possible that blue stone will hereafter be on the blink, and Jake Keno's spec ie e mixture will become a useless ex travagance, In the matter of treating seed wheat. Milk may be used not only as an addition to an already rich diet, but in plnce of some of the slowly digested dishes which over tax the digestive organs and impair the health. Milk contains all tho elements necessary to sustain life and build up the body. Ifniust be remembered too, that butter Is a food for all, for rich am! poor, for old and "young. Cottage choose is another dairy product that is of great food value. Paper underwear, one trusts, does not demand the services of a paper-hanger. The less unnecessary food served at the table the greater the service to the country. In summer heat every horse is pro foundly sad that he was not born an autotruck. Just because you make a noise like a big gun It doesn't signify you're do ing your bit. After the war nobody In the Cnlted States will be handicapped by being n mere American. If the commission that Is to fir food prices only could fix an easy way to get the price! Some people are pacifists hecnuse of conscience, but most of them because of the lack of one. "Hold fast" means that we haven't licked the Huns yet, but that we can If we fight harder and don't quit. Due praise should be accorded the embattled chiropodists who help to keep our armies on a sound footing. It takes some folks longer to pick out five cents' worth of candy than It does others to buy an automobile. Women's styles mny have something to do with the fact that fewer per sons nre shocked to death than formerly. Many a patrloteer is trying to con vince himself that he Is engaged In war work when he shoots oft his mouth. Men of forty-five nre beginning to tighten their belts, strut cocklly through the streets and talk about "us boys." Wonder If the soldiers remember the days when they used to knock off work 15 minutes enrly, so they'd be sure to hear the whistle? The high cost of living wouldn't be so bad for the average citizen If he could petition for a wage Increase to an Impartial board. Nobody expects to see college foot ball abolished, but It would occasion no surprise If yell masters were de clared non-essential. Thanks to the war garden, another good old joke has to be taken serious ly: "You eat what you cun and what you can't you can." The most dangerous enemies nre either In Internment enmps or are be ing arrested for attempts to defraud the government on wnr contracts. Extending the age limitations for draft may give the man who figured op retiring from business nt forty an Idea of what to do with his leisure. Not nil the bachelors within the new draft ages who are rushing to wed are slnckers. Many are, perhaps, desir ous of taking their punishment early. Thanks to the Liberty Honds and Thrift Stamps one of the lessons taught the great American public by the war will he the value of a dollar. Considering the disagreements of "war experts," It Is a matter for re joicing that they are not In charge of the battles they so freely comment upon. With the war department buying $450,000 worth of baseball and foot ball supplies for the use of our sol diers overseas the sports will know where to go. An Ohio county Is to abandon thrashing dinners ns n measure of food conservation. Some of these days city fellows will launch u movement without it banquet. If the Americans really take up souvenir collecting seriously, there will soon be more Gorman helmets in the United Stales than there arc In the German army. The government Is taking a hand In current fashions. And Uncle Sam as n style dictator will attend to the economic phase und lot the esthetic take cure of Itself. The college graduate hnd a particu larly hurd time this summer In put ting enthusiasm Into his commVncc inent essay when he reully wanted to be out lu the trenches. Pork exports from America to the allies were almost 170,000,000 pounds during June. Hut that's all right ; the more pork we send to Europe the soon er we can bring home the bncon. Some of the German officers fled so quickly nt the approach of the French and Americans that they left wine glasses on the tnble lu their head quarters. But not, probably, any wine. A Spanish war veteran has sen! word to the boys In France that ants will destroy the cooties. An Imme diate mobilization of French unts will probably be put n r.ctlve operation. SANDBAGS SAVE MANY LIVES Italian Authorities Must Be Given Credit for Resourcefulness in Modern Warfare. No belligerent has shown more re sourcefulness than the Italians In de vising novel means of offense and de fense, says a writer In Wide World Magazine. The Italian army was the only one to enter the war with a trench helmet and a steel cheat protector, and it is now provided with a 'more efficient body shield than is possessed by any other of the warring nations. Early in the wur it was discovered by the Italians that many lives could lie saved in skirmishing at close quar ters If the soldiers carried or pushed bags of sund In front of them, und the present body shield has been an out growth of that idea. They are made In the one-man and two-man typo. The former nre worn by Infantry advancing in the open, at tached to the shoulders by a pair of light steel arms, and are long enough to protect the head and vital organs of a man standing erect. Lying at full length, or even crouched, it covers him completely. Each shield is pierced with a small, round eyehole und an oblong loophole for firing from, both of which may be closed by u sliding door when not In use. The two-mnn shield Is principally used In wire cutting. It Is curried on the buck of one man, who may also work his rifle from a loophole in the top, while n second man works a long wire-cutter through a hole at the bot tom. It Is held up by short legs If the first man desires to move Independently. Street Journal w"ants to know. "No, but gas masks are. It is a far cry from coconut pie to gas masks, but we arc enabled to indulge our appe tites in the one and supply the other through a single operation. Gas masks.contain a certain brand of charcoal which is an absorbent of poison gas, and It has been found that the rind of coconuts, when burned, pro duces a charcoal superior to all others. For this reason the government has placed the humble coconut on the list of essential products and our friends on the Island of Porto Rico are urged to ship as many as they can, ' When cnting n piece of coconut pie or any other delicacy containing coco nut you are enabled to do so with an easy conscience. The charcoal made from the shell of the coconut you eat may be saving the life of an American soldier "somewhere In France." Auto Replaces Dogs. To a "cheechako," which. In the ver nacular of Alaska, signifies an indi vidual who, in the days of the storied West, would have been called a "ten derfoot," falls the distinction of intro ducing trapping de luxe into the North. Harry Beagle, not long from the "outside," conceived the Idea of set ling out on a trapping expedition in nn automobile Instead of by dog team. Frank Burgess went with him, Load ing their outfit Into n light car, the pair set out for the Big Delta country, despite snow and almost impassable roads. So far ns Is known nt Fairbanks, the Idea has proved a success. Patriotic to Eat Coconuts. Is coconut jile nn essential? the Wall Correct Lubrication for the Valvc-in-Hcad-Type Motor The Valve-in-hcad-type en gine illustrated here, like all internal combustion engines, requires an oil that holds its lubricating qualities at cyl inder heat, burns clean in the combustion chambers and goes out with exhaust. Zerolene fills these require ments perfectly, because it is correctly refined from selected California asphalt-base crude ZEROLENE The Standard Oil for Motor Cars f It Keeps the Engine Young Experts agree in recommending ZEROLENE because it keeps the engine youn full-powered, smooth-running, and economical in fuel and oil consumption. The majority of motorists are now using ZEROLENE, because they have learned by experience that there is no better oil to be had. Correctly refined from selected California asphalt-base crude, ZEROLENE gives perfect lubrication with less wear and less carbon deposit. Less wear because ZER OLENE keeps its lubricating body at cylinder heat. Less carbon because, being made from asphalt -base crude, it burns clean and goes out with exhaust.
