THE HOME GUARDS
Around twenty citizons met at
the K. I'. Hull on Sunday after
noon for the purpose of taking
steps towards organizing a com?
pany of Home Guards in Eaglo
Valley. C. E. Thorp was chosen
temporary chairman and N. B.
Anhcrafl secretary. The purpose
of the organization was explained
and olx teen of the men present
Hignilied their willingness tojon.
Another meeting will be held o::
SAl'UUDAY NJGH'l Rt 8 o'clock,
i istead of on Sunday hfternoon
as announced, thin chungc in lime
being conm'dereu advisable on ac
count of so many farmers being
busy feeding stock through the
day.
To those who are not fully
posted on the matter we will say
that Homo Guards are being or
ganized in every county in the
United States. They are not un
der federal control or subject to
federal ca'l; but are subject to
the orders of the cour.ty sheriff
(as a company, not as individuals)
lo fl -si.u in quelling not or foi
guard duty, should occasion aris .
Jt wi'l take an enrJ'.nent of G5
to for.n ;, company or 35 a platoon.
Any ni.t'.e person between tl
taaes of 15 and C5 years may joit-
ten payment of 1, th.' funds Unit
secured to remain in the treasury
of tho local company. All officers
will be chosen from Wi ranks b
ballot.
No ono cun tell when tho need
of a I ody of drilled men may be
needed to defend our own com
munity, therefore it is the duty
of every loyal American within
the age limit and who i3 physic
ally able, to enlist in the Home
Guards. Not only will it tend to
strengthen home defenses but
ai;o prove o our enemies that we
stand back of our boys at the
front.
Come out Saturday night nnd
enroll your name; don't let your
neighbor show moiv patriotism
than you.
No Bank for Him
"I don't put my money in any
oank," says Slothful Sam. "My
inside pocket is good enough for
me and 1 am going to keep it
thero instead of lotting the other
fellow carry it."
But dees ho keep it there? He
does not. The butcher, grocer,
clothier and.druggist get Sam's
money nnd thoy put it in the
bank. Sam don't know where his
money goes. But somebody puts
it in the bank. Who is putting
your money in the bank? If it is
good for tho other fellow to have
money in tho bank it's good for
you and tho other follow gets
rich at it.

Milton A. Miller, Collector of
Internal Revenue at Portland,
has issued this warning:
"Somebody is going to tell on
you if you don't pay your income
tax. Congress has fixed it so
that somebody must tell, whether
iie wants to or not."

While the federal government
K.is asked that less work be done
on "I ighways," it urges that
more attention be given to build

This is dirdct encouragement to

which will traverse from end to

Wheat-Corn Bread
Wheat-coin bread is nioiv iiutrlilo:
tl'ian bread baked with wheat Hutu
ulotie. Thousands of American fam
ilies today are using this mixed Hour
bread, and In so doltiK arc eimbllii
America to provide more wheat iln.u
for the allies. Here's a tested re-ii -for
this bread: Take, one and u ball'
cuius of nil'!;, water or n mixture :
tno 4vo ; ono-hulf cake eoiniivsn'd
yeast, one and a half teaspoons suit,
dtio tnblcsp'X'n stiKnr, one tnblespeon
of fat If deal rod, ono cup cornmeal
nnd two cups wheat Hour.
Put one and a half cups of wnter.
the cornmeal, salt, supir and fat (If
used) Into a double, boiler nnd cool:
twenty minutes. The water Is sutll
dent only to soften tho menl n little

of tho water. Knead thoroughly,
make Into loaf, place In pan of stand
nrd size, allow to rlso until nearly
lllls the pan nnd bake 15 or 00 min
utes. It Is hardly practicable to use
n greater percentage of cornmeal than
this even lu emergencies, for bread so
made differs very llttlo from baked
mush. Less cornmeal can bo used
ami In sucn a case the general meth
od given nbovo may bo followed.
It Is posslblo to niako a yeast raised
corn bread without first cooking tho
cornmeal. In this caso not more than
ono cupful of meal should bo used to
four cupfuls of flour. In other ro
spects the bread Is mixed and baked
as in tho abovo reclpo.

The Oregon Voter Says:
"Politically Irresistible.
"That's what Eastern Oregon
will get to be if it keeps up its,
present gait.
"It has led Oregon in every
patriotic drive when compared
with Western Oregon as a whole,
although there have been isolated
instances like Benton or Douglas
counties where tremendous re
cords have been made.
"Eastern Oregon is demonstra
ting that it has the highest typo
of leadership in the state men
who enjoy the confidence of their
townspeople and the farmers.
"The people in Eastern Oregon
are not suspicious of each other.
"Eastern Oregon can come to
Portland with nearly a solid vote
for any candidate or any measure
that catches the enthusiasm of
its people. If it can secure some
support in the bif city and a lot
of co-operation from tho live
counties of Southern Oregon and
the Coast, it will do big things
politically.
"One thing that makes Bob
Stanfield's candidacy so formid
able is that he typifies the pro
gressive, forward spirit of East
ern Oregon.
"Let 'er buck, Eastern Oregon;
what you are doing to the balance
of the state isn't hurting it a bit. "
