THRIFT STAMPS ' I rlKlrT STAMPS The present "drive" on the war stamps should not cause people to lose sight of one of the main virtues of the plan of raising war funds. The thrift stamp should be a daily accumu- lation. It must represent a personal sacrifice, something done without. Older people can easily do without Children must be taught to. It is of -course pleasing to loam that gon has handled her quota of stamps but it will be more pleasing to Je.irn in after years that the War Sav'ngs Stamps have taught our children hab its of thrift. "WORK OR FIGHT" A very hopeful sign in the labor situation in tho northwest is tho clos ing of pool balls and card rooms In many townB in Oregon and Washing ton. The local ordinances undor which this action la taken usually provido that such establishments shall be closed during tho ordinary working hours ot the day and open-in the ev ening. The basis of such action la that al!v enterprises which aro not produc tive or necessary to the general wel- faro should not bo allowed to otter 'places whero Idleness can bo cultlvat- ed. 4 WEEDS Tho present rank growths of Uvf.cds and thistles along our mora "unfre quented stroots should recolvo tho early attention of the adjoining proper' ty owners, or tho city officials it, nedd bo.

REMINDS SOLDIERS OF HOME mail SedrfMS of Llatrty In Paris At. irjwk.Amtrleans to Rrldg YVhsre ' Sho Stands. There Is a little old bridge la Paris, In an out-of-the-way part of the city, that is being trod by many Yankee feet these days, Tho Eiffel tower Is about three fourths of a mile owny, and the dis tance between the tower and the little bridge Is about as unattractive as you could nnd In Paris. Nor does the bridge called tho pont tie Grenelle lead you across the Seine to any sight seeing place. Rut that bridge supports In Its center a statue of the Goddess of Liberty, the same glorious lady who holds nloft her flntnc of righteousness In New York harbor. A great many Americans have learned on this bridge that the Goddess of Liberty was a gift from France to America. The description on the ped estal records this fact, and there fol lows in French an csorpt from the let ter of acceptance of Vice President Morton.

MELTING POT FAILS TO MELT Trouble Is, According to Writer, That the Stoking of the Fires Is Neglected. - This melting pot of ours has been asked to melt np more different kinds people they have overrun, leaving of stuff than the department of in In-1 them In desolation.

Dog Hair Wool Substitute. The keeping of dogs may be regard ed as a patriotic duty Instead of a wasteful luxury, If the dog be of the ,on-nalred species. It has been demonstrated that an exceptionally high-class wool can be spun from the hair of all breeds of long-haired dogs. Samples from Chows, Pekingese, poodles, Bergers d'AIsace and sheep dogs have been submitted to wool experts, who are i emphatic In their commendation. To popularize the discovery and turn It to goo'd account the British Dogs' Wool association has been formed with the countess of Cos ford as president and Lady Algernon Gor- don Lennox ns clmlrmnn. Tho invn' wr.H. so fur ns the nssoelntlnn cm i control It, will be turned over to the British Red Cross. Meanwhile sliort-hnlred dojrs nre dis credited n nU in in-ill of destruction unless It can be proven that they, too, ! may be utilized to help win the war, otherwise than as camouflaged sausage meat. Yours Is Coming, William! Bad us things nre. It Is Impossible not to smile at William HohenzoIIern. Of the Russian peace he said: Die complete victory fills me with , gratitude. It permits us to live again one of those' great moments In which we can reverently admire God's hand lb. history." Did a more sanctimonious scoundrel ' ever cut a throat? Ah, Wllllnm! You rest on the knees nf the gods, and fur from sufcty. Any moment, over you may go, face down, and our turn will come to admire God'4' liimd in history, applied with' em- pluisls whero it will do mont good. Life. Hard for the 8tork.

It you could stand In tho mlddto of I tlon and other millions aro suffering from too little food. Our Allies ami the neutrals are living on tho barest margins that will support life and strength. This, the most appalling and dread ful thing that has come to humanity slnco the dawn of civilization, Is to me the outstanding creation of Ger man militarism. Tho Germans them selves are not the worst auttorers. They are extorting at tho cannon's mouth the harvests and cattle of the been actually killed by Germany and her allies in arms. The 10,000,000 peo ple in .occupied Belgium and Northern France would have died of starvation had It not been for us and tho Allies. We must build our food resources to stand ready for any demands upon us by the Allies. It Is of no purpose to us to send millions of our best to France If we fall to maintain tho strength of tholr men, women and , children on our linos of coramunlca- tlon. This United States Is the last reservoir of men, tho last reservoir ot ships, the IbbI reservoir of munitions and the last reservoir of food upon which the Allied world must depend if Germany Is to bo defeated and it we are to be free men. Now Is the time to eat and to pre- serve home grown products. Perish able fruits are coming on the market, the gardens are making avatlablo dally supplies of food that will take the place of the commercial -canned ar ticles that are needed for shipment abroad.' Sugar has been made avail able for home canning purposes and the supply is good at the present time. The home garden and tho canning of its products means more this year than it ever did before because it wilt jlay a very important 'part in keeping the fighting forces supplied with the kind of food they need at the time they need it most America expects every civilian to do bis or her duty in tho same spirit as she expects each soldier when thi command comes, "TO GO OVER THE TOP" without turning to soo If his neighbor bail gone first. AVe have often' quoted that old verse, "Gather your roses while ye may," and we can well now change It , , , i, ,, .it ,i . to gather your vege ables,' for by so dolnB we can accomplish great good, "Wo stand behind our boys in France and we will not call it a sacri fice but a nrivileee to do our bit to- ward teedlng them Over Thoro." Emma V. Mllliken. Conserve, reservo and preserve all of these fine fruits and vegetables that are now within your reach; you will need them the coming wintor. By eating more perishables here at home we may save others from per lshtng "Over; There,!' ,, v The farm as well as' the. front needs men who see straight and shoot straight.
