THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1918. A GROSS INJUSTICE A gross injustice has been done Springfield in the report published In the Eugene and Portland papers that Springfield did not reach her quota In the Third Liberty Loan drivo. , Springfield's quota was $32,000 and our subscriptions amounted to about $45,000 making an over subscription of $13,000. The county managers at Eugene failed to give this city credit for some $16,000 subscribed by the employes of the Booth-Kelly Lumber company. The managers knew perfectly well before that report was published that ' it was not in accordance with the facts in the case, their attention hav ing been called to the matter by mem bers of our committee. Each community is entitled to cred it for work done and Springfield is not asking for anything she is not entitled to but we do ask for a square deaL Our quota was raised within four days and it was so recognized In the fact that we were promptly warded an honor flag. . All we ask of our brethern across the way Is a square deal. ACTIVITIES OF RED CROSS ', Describing the American Red Cross as a body authorized to do everything possible for the comfort and welfare of .the soldiers, and to make use of such agencies as are authorized and are In a position to contribute to that end in addition to the provisions made by the Government, a general state ment by the War Department outlines certain approved activities: To distribute sweaters, mufflers, helmets, socks, comfort kits etc. To render emergency relief of every kind upon request of an officer In Charge. To relieve anxiety and sustain the morale of soldiers who are worried about their families at home, and to promote the comfort and well being of these families. To conduct canteen service stations for furnishing refreshments to boI diers when traveling through the country; to furnish emergency relief to the sick and wounded when en route and to dee that they are conveyed to a hospital when necessary and request ed. by the commanding officer. A representative of the Red Cross may be attached to each base hospital to furnish emergency supplies when called upon, to communicate with families of patients, to render home service to patients and such other assistance as pertains to Red Cross work. EAT POTATOES AND HELP WIN THE WAR. To save food by eating food sounds like a conservation paradox But- at some seasons of tho year there Is an abundance of some one rood or In, some certain locality there Is an enormous crop' of some one thing. In such casos it is tho national duty to eat as much as possible of this particular foor and releaso its equivalent in other foods Such is tho case right now with the potato, and t4fe1luty of honoring the potato in tho Consumption thereof is especially urgent because of tho vital necessity of saving wh'eat id meo't'j the overseas Remands. EAT-. POTA TOES AND SAVE WHEAT. HELP"' WANTED! t&VffiFtlttW In order to.mnko suro that there Is sufficient sugar to moot tlio require ments, of tlto 191S canning Reason, the United States Food Administration Is making a rcnowod appeal for great er conservation of sugar. It you want to bo sura of your favor Ito marmalado, quince jolty, or can nod logan berries next winter, help Mr. Hoovor save sugar for tho house wives, who are rolled upon to fill tho pantry shelves with all thoso good things In the canning season. Arrange ments have been made whereby every housewife, by signing an official cer tificate, will bo nolo to secure an amplo supply of sugar for canning and ..!. .ii .. iiivauiwus iiuuo mi nut luimij assuring tho government over nor own signature, that tho sugar will ho used for this purpose only aim tnat she will limit her household In tho uso of sugar for all other purposes to thrco pounds per person per month. Now In order to provide this supply of sugar for the homo canners, Mr. Hoover calls upon us all to do a llttlo extra saving on sweets. By using loss sugar in your tea or coffee and ellml- t dld or , ht do wn enUr(Vnw Part pt tho City of Eugone, pro nntin nii fmatw OP Rwoctened Ml- A . . ... i gon, running thonco North 114. foot, nating all frosting or sweetened f II- llngs in cakes and by eating less candy or no candy at all everybody can help save sugar for the canners. Instead of sugar use cane, corn and maple syrups, honey or molasses In cooking. To sweeten your cereals serve them with syrup or sweet fruits and most Important of all stay your hand when It reaches for the sugar bowl! That extra spoonful sprinkled over your strawberries or ladled Into your coffee may seem only a little bit, but with everybody doing it, the spoonsfuls soon mount up to sacks. THE THRIFT HABIT Some person who has more time to give to figuring than he has to give to the war has discovered that if Adam had put away one War Saving Stamp with Interest at 4 per cent, compound ed every three months) the world would not be able to pay that sum today. The fact that old Adam didn't save, however, should not deter Oregonlans in a resolve to get Into the War Savings wagon now. Don't let the kaiser profit by your making the same mistake that Adam did.
