Originally there were 5.0U0 men enrolled in the second district re serve service, but owing to the high tandard of the personnel, the district has been drawn .heavily upon to sup- ply men for various branches of the naval service. Many men interested in wireless tel egraphy have been sent to the nstvy radio school at Harvard for instruc tion, while others have been retained at the school which is being conduct ed under the supervision of the dis rrict , communication siiperintdndcnt at Newport. A number of others have been sent to the merchant marine, w.hich ts known oliicialty as the naval auxiliary reserve. These men are at present in training, and before long they will be graduated as warrant boatswains, prepared for active sea duty on our transports. Still others have been sent to An uapolis for training to qualify them as ensigns, and already one class of men from this district has been graduated and the men detailed eithei to the fleet or to the much talked o 1 10-fiHiters. the new government sub marine chasers. Others have been sent to the train ing school of the second naval di trict. from which they will be grad uated prepared to receive their com missions as ensigns in the reserve. Battleships and Paint.

Monthly, It Is custom ary to repaint the different inrts of a ship two or threv times a year, no the annual upkeep probably exceeds this sum This brings the annual outlay In paint for the entire fleet to $l.MV.OOO.

GROZiER IS UNDER COMMITTEE FIRE Wilson Gives Him a Second Ap pointment While Senate De mands He Explain Delay MACHINE GUNS NOT BEING MANUFACTURED Guns Used by U.S. in Mexico Were Bought Abroad Says Crozier in Statement WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. (U. P.) President Wilson reappointed Gen-; eral Croz;cr chief oi ordnance. I The senate military committee probe emphatically demanded that Crozier explain why America was compelled to buy Pershing s artillery trom France. The hearing disclosed that Amer ica is making half as many rifles now as were made tor the allies before the war, and that the machinegi:n adopted for the army have not been tested under war conditions. Hitch cock blamed Crozier and other .high officers for allagcd needless delay in arming the troops. Crozier declared that in answering the pointed questions of Chamberlain and others, he would reveal confiden tial military information. It is charg- 4 that Baker is responsible for the nachinegun delay. Crozier said the dispute over the machinegun types prevented the man ufacture for over a year before we entered the war, despite appropria tions for that purpose. He said that America bought Lewis guns and am munition from England in the Mex ico crisis because Mexico had more machineguns. The Browning gun, adopted by the government in June, is not being manufactured yet The French are supplying Pershing's ma chineguns, according to Crozier. HELP YOURSELF BY HELPING THE PRODUCER "It is a perfectly obvious economic law that if the producer doe, not find a ready market and receive a fair v-ompensation for his product, pro duction will fall off and higher prices will result. Federal Food Administrator V. B. Aver calls the attention of the Oregon public to the nutshell axiom as it applies to Oregon cheese and Oregon potatoes. In these two important food commodities the producer has done his share, Mr. Aver points out. ind now it is tip to the consumer. "The best of Oregon cream cheese and Oregon potatoes are now to be had in abundant quantities and at rea sonable prices, said Mr. Aver in an interview, "and Oregon people should make a liberal use of both in their diet. In potatoes are united an abun dant and easily digested supply of 'tarch and valuable mineral salts, with a distinctive appeal to the pal ate. Of this valuable food we have splendid supply thi year, and there should be a greater consumption or this Oregon product in this state the nearer the point of production the better, as all railroad shipping space is needed for the transportation o! other important commodities. "Cheese is one of the mot useful foods tint we can now buy. It con tains in condensed form practically all the food value of milk and is rich in protein. 'Americans hive largely depended upon meat for protein. ?.nd since we must conserve meat, we are fortunate tn having a good supply of cheese at hand to make up -he defic iency. Oregon cream cheese is of splendid qu dity. and may be prepar ed in manv appetizing ways for use as a meit substitute. Fvery Oregon family should eat more of this whole some, home-grown food, and thereby not only vary their customary diet, but at the same time give needed sup port to two important Oregon in dustries the manufacture of chece and the dairying industry. T.et every one eat more cheese. When your sweet tooth bothers you try the old-fashioned molasses candy, and save the sugar! NO MORE MEN MAY ENLIST AFTER TODAY Drafted Men Must Now Take Chance With Others and Fel low Government Orders After today no more men of draft ai(e will be allowed to cnliit in the army or navy. Tiii information was received here thit afternoon by Pott master C. if. Stewart from Portland. 'A larxc number of young men who wanted to enlist were turned away this afternoon, and there will be many others who were putting off to the 1at minute who will not welcome the news. Imrinif the time that Postmaster Stewart has been receiving enlist ment, he has sent about 105 men to the army and navy. Many others have joined in other ways not through the local office; so it is thought that the next draft, which will be the first one from Linn county, will not take rery many men. It is understood that the county will get credit for all enlist ments. This is where the only trace of unfairness comes in. A large number of the test men in every community enlist voluntarily, while many others h'dd back. The ones who act of their own accord are serving for the ones who wait until they are forced to go. The draft is the only lair means to be employed, for all are given the same chance and honest claims for exemption will receive all consider ation possible. After today all men of draft age must follow this rule. Men between 18 and 21, and over 31 years of age. are still permitted to volunteer. Following are those who were sent to Portland yesterday by Postmaster Stewart. N'ot all will be taken, but w ill be examined by the recruiting of ficers. Four were rejected here yes terday. , Navy Grant V. Wassom. Harris- burg; Archie L. Adamson. Harrisbtirg Herman B. Harnish, Albany: James W. Cooper. Albany: Wm. H. Mills lAIbany: James V.

He declared that shipbuilding is in creasing above ship losses. REDUCTION IN WAR BREAD PRICES COMING Cheerful news lor the conservation is comes from Federal Food Admin istrator W. B. Ayer, who has announc ed that graham and wholewheat flour which have heretofore been higher- priced than the standard white flours, will be available within the next few days at prices substantially less than those charged for the patent white flours. This reduction in the dark flours was brought about by the voluntary cooperation of several Portland mil lers with the food administrator, who had called their attention to the high er cost to the consumer of the whole wheat and graham flours. "The higher prices heretofore charged for these dark flours," said Mr. Aver, "were largely due to the light demand; but the whole-hearted way in which the public has entered into Mr. Hoover's conservation plans has created a steady and substantial demand that will warrant increased "illllng of these flours, and therefore reduction in price. The reduction w ill probably amount to about 90 cents and this decrease will undoubtedly be passed along to the consumer by the retailer. With the dark flours avail able at lower prices, conservation of wheat should be given a new stimulus and breads of graham and wholewheat should supplant the white breads in every home." There is no closed season for rat- killing. Honey and syrups instead of sugar will make victory Just as sweet and bring it much sooner. FRUIT SURVEY IS NEARLY COMPLETE W. R. Scott Will Return to Puyallup Next Week WILL RECCOMEND A BARREL PLANT FOR 1918 Farmers Have an Opportunity Now that Should Not Bo Neglected W. R. Scott, who it making a sur vey of Linn and Benton counties for W. H. 1'a.lhamus of Puyallup, hav about finished his work and will re turn to Puyallup next week. This evening he will speak at Oakville to a meeting of fanners and Saturday he will attend the home-com:Bg mect- ng at Harmony Grange. Next Mon day and Tuesday he will be at the First National bank during banking hours to explain the purposes of the Linn-Benton Fruit association and to make contracts with any person who wishes to take advantage of the of fers made by the new company. Mr. Scott will report favorably up on his work in this section, and upon his report depends whether the Puy allup people will continue with the in dustry here or drop it. In the latter case it would be sonic time before an other cannery proposition would be taken up here. The main difficulty is getting the fruit Until a sufficent amount can be guaranteed there can be no mar ket. Mr. Scott has succeeded m get ting enough signed up to recommend the installation of a barret plant next spring, and all strawberries, black berries and loganberries will be put up in barrels ' hiooed from here for treatment. This will afford a mar ket for everything that can be raised. The next fall or the following spring, with the new acreage in bear ing, a cannery will probably be to talled here, which will not only han dle the berries and small fruits, but will take care of many large fruits and vegetables. The market is unlimited. Ia a re cent letter Mr. Paulhamus states that the berry market is inexhausiible. The war will develop the United States into a jam-eating nation like England is. Jam is said to be an excellent substitute for meat, and meat is go ing to be much higher here. The Linn-Benton association, of which A. C Schmitt is chairman and W. A. Eastburn secretary, is offer ing good prices for eight-year con tracts, paying from 3 1-2 to 4 1-2 cents for strawberries, black raspber ries and loganberries. . S. GUARD WILL BE ORGANIZED BY GOVT WASHINGTON, Dec 13. (U. P.) The war department authorized the organization of the "United States Guard" of 25,000, to relieve soldiers from police guard and to supplement the militia. Voluntary enlistments will be followed by a draft if neces sary. SPECIAL COMMUNICATION of St. John's Lodge No. 17, A. F. & A. M. This Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock. Work in F. C. degree.
