Last Sunday was patriotic Sunday
throughout the Nation and the evening
service at the Methodist church was
given over to a great, rally, at which
time addresses were' made by Mrs. Dr,
George Rebec of the Oregon University
on behalf of the National woman's
committee of the Liberty loan and by
Dr. J. H. Gilbert of the University on
"War Conditions and' Our Relation fo
W. W. Calkins head of the wo
man's 'committee for Lane county told
of the organization of the women, of
the Nation and of their part in the ,
great problems of which we are so I
vitally Interested.
Mrs. Rebec said that "while the. man.
thinks'hC-Tias-the last word, It Is the
women of the home who must decide..
It Is the women who skimp and man
"ge. Never before was there such a
t hance to lift ourselves above the
f achground and thrust ourselves to
tie front. There is something before
rxs now that Is bigger than life itself.
When we think of the terrible carn
age, desolation, and slaughter, man
must li.t himself above himself and
help free humanity from this terrible
menace. "
These European people who have
lost their homes and their all stand
between us and freedom and the least
we can do Is to give of our money and
stand firmly behind the trenches.
In opening his address Dr. James H.
Gilbert paid a high tribute to President
Wilson and showed the awful carnality
of the kaiser.
Why should we worry about the
kind of a government; the German peo
ple have except to insist that every!
nation should have the privilege of
governing-themselves. Germany stands
aloof from the other governments of
the world as an outcast and the Kaiser
has the power to say what shall be
m
done without consulting the people. It
Is therefore a concern td you and to
Be when one man can open thevgafW
Tt hell and thrust the world into -war.
The German military power argues
feat war is not a curse but a blessing.
That war is necessary to up build the
atlon and to build up the avenues of
commerce -for business purposes and
to collonize her subjects. Then if war
Is a blessing why should we do away
with it.
Dr. Gilbert explained the German
military training and military prepared
ness and told of their activities in
building ships and equipping armies.

The allies today are .practically
wholly -dependent upon the United
States for food. Upon this nation
rests the responsibility of preserving
the world from Prusslanlsaa. This is
the task of the people of this nation
to produce and save food enough to
keep a steady stream of essential sup
plies moving towards the front so
long as. it shall be necessary to wage
this war. If at any time we fall in
this, we must inevitably go down, with
the allies, to defeat This is no ex
aggeration, but1 a serious fact It Is
the purpose of the United States Food
Administration to bring the realiza
tion of this fact home to every Ameri
can man. woman and child, and to en-
Jist the Individual aid of our hundred
million people In producing and sav
ing food. "The Food Administration
is nof asking you to eat less; it only
urges that yon substitute one nutri
tious Xood for another equally nutri
tious food, thus savlnr the vital ata-

jjics uceueu oj our armies ana ine
armies and peoples of the allies. We
must, during the next three months,
save wheat especially. Our surplus
has already been shipped abroad, and
a hundred million bushels more are
needed. When you eat a slice of bread
less, omit the crackers with your soup,
or otherwise conserve on wheat prod
ucts, you are contributing towards the
hundred million bushels needed over
there by our fighting men and the
exhausted people of BU&lim, France
and England who have for more than
three years been bearing the brunt of
this war, which is our war. Keep this
in mind, and bring it before the minds
of your thoughtless friends and neighbors."
FOOD ADMINISTRATION FACTS
One ounce less of meat each day
for everyone means a saving of 4,
400,000 meat animals a year. Save
your ounce. The sacrifice Is small,
but the result for your country Is
large.
Jfwere trying Ho establish, a universal
peace Germany was preparing for
world domination.
Germany has beea-tbe most collosal
lawbreaker the world has ever known
and this is the great Indictment of
that great military, government. She
lias bombarded Red Cross hospitals,
slain the nurses and murdered the
stretcher bearers. She has violated
all rules of warfare and goes on the
principle pf whatever is necessary Is
right.
The real issue Is the Issue of peace.
We are at war to end war. This thipg
must not happen again. It this war
comes to a close without, permanent

There's lota of money to go round,

Potatoes for Patriotism.
By eating potatoes Instead of wheat
the people of the United States can I
help win the war. We have not1
enough wheat for the Allies and our
selves. We have an abundance of po
tatoes. Wheat flour Is a concentrated
food and therefore good for shipping;
potatoes are bulky and are conse
quently, not suited for, limited shipping
space, nor are the Allies so short of
potatoes as of wheat Next to cereals,
potatoes have been in this country
the mainstay of starchy food, which
supplies energy.
The more potatoes we eat the less
wheat we need, A medium-sized po
tato, .weighing about 3 ounces, sup
plies, .about as .'jmica, starch as two
small' slices at" Wheat bread one-half

By exercising her ingenuity the house;
wife, pan prepare potatoes in many
different attractive ways, thus increas
ing their- proportion in the family diet
and conserving wheat and other sta
ples needed .for shipment- abroad. An
Important useuf potatoes, also, is la
tho mixing of breads, In which, mash-
ed potatoes up to fully ten per pent
may be used without detracting from'
Us appearance or taste; in fact, many
persons hold that potatoes properly
mixed in bread, Uaprovw both appear
