I r.l IUS UUMIIIf II riltl 111111-1 OPPORTUNITY IN A NUTSHELL. Let no roan, -who reads these lines, regardless of what his calling In Hie may be, bewail the tricks, ot strange Fortune. Time and again wo ha7o pointed out the opportunities that come knocking at his door. Once more we plant the seed ot hope in him who writhes under the prods of out. rageous Fortune. Unco more wo point the way for him who prone Would seek to add to his own store and the productive wealth of his own community. "When we yelled "Seed Potatoes" at you, did you pause in your mad scram ble for your little old three bucks per and ask yourself "If there was chance to get hold of a little piece of landT" Tou did not You Just thought silently "Some day, maybe." Tou may have gone so far as to dis cover that your "wiabone was where your backbone ought to be." But that ended it Now look here! Did you ever peel the callouses from your hands and wonder if you could cash in on them at the bank? Some men have, but have you? No. And you won't as long as you stick ou your present Job. If you would put one-half the energy you give to building another man's business .into digging dirt, you would be assured of a comfortable compe tence for your old age. "What manhas done, man can do." Did you ever see George A. Dorris' nut farm? It does not matter whether you have Or not, as it has no bearing upon the "results" that Mr. Dorris cashes in on now every year. We can tell this story of "Opportunity In a Nutshell with a page out of Mr. Dorris account book. Figures are dry reading, but they have a faculty of telling things plainly. Upon Dorris farm there are 1,000 filbert trees. They are planted 20 feet apart and you can tell from this how many acres are required to grow this many. When these trees reach maturity, and most of them have nearly "arrived," they will produce for nlm a gross Income of ?15 each. Multi ply Jf 15 by .1,000 and you have "Oppor tunity In a Nutshell." It costs 1 cent a pound to gather and market the fil berts. The market Is always waiting for the new crop. The Nation la waiting for fellows like you who live in Oregon and Washington to produce enough of these nuts so It can avoid importing them from a foreign coun try. This government has $100,000,000 to loan to men like you to start some thingand finish it to develop the latent resources of Its domains and make of you a citizen to be depended upon to assist the government if it sbojild ever happen again to need help in such great measure as it needs it now. It has set aside this $100,000,000 at a time when it could use it to help lick Germany, but will not divert it to such purpose because it Is satistled that !f loaned to men like you that In the end that huge sum will be multiplied by 10 by men who do and dare! The war has provoked one blessing in America anyway. Many people who never had enough pride in them selves to cultivate one of the greatest of worldly virtues "Thrift" have Bhown sufficient pride In their country to rnako sacrifices so-called to make good upon their pledge for Liberty Bonds. They have learned a valuable lesson that augurs well for their own future and tho future wealth of America, Only a few days left, folks, to keep Oregon at the head of tho proces sion of States. Do your part and don't; concorn youruojf about your neighbor dplng his he may have al ready, heat you to It. You can't tell by tho holes in a tnan'p breeches whether he hna bought a bond qr not. Patriotism is not ineaaured that way any moro. Tho first thing Springfield should do to eclobrato tho ending ot tho war Is to Install a string of cluster lights from ono end ot Main street to th other. Kaiser Bill distributed 400 Iron Crosses to Austrian troops In ono day. Wo didn't suppose thoro wore that many heroes In the Austrian ranks, With tho war quieting down to moro raiding parties, the News deems it pertinent to Inquire what it will do for first-page stories this winter? With tho fall of Nazareth and tho threatening of Damascus, tho war news reads like a page out of the Sunday-school lesson. Six billion dollars is a lot of nionoy, but wo are somo "diggers."

Conservation measures nppllcd by the American people cuublcd the Unit ed States to ship to the Allied peoples nnd to our own forces overseas Ml, 000,000 bushels of wheat nnd 841.000.. 000 pounds of meat during the past year, vuiucd in nil ut 51.-khuwu.wj. This was accomplished In the face of a serious food shortage In this country, bespeaking the wholehenrUMlnoss und i patriotism with which the American ( people have met the food crisis tibrond. ' Food Administrator Hoover, in u let- 1 ter to President Wilson, explains how 1 the situation was met. The voluntary conservation program fostered by the Food Administration enabled the piling up of the millions of bushels of wheat during 1017-18 and the shipment of meat during 1017-18. The total value of all food ship ments to Allied destinations amounted to $1,400,000,000. all this food being bought through or In collaboration with the Food Administration. These figures are all bused on ofllclnl reports nnd represent food exports for the harvest year that closed June .'10. IMS.

The Inert-use In i shipments Is due to conservation and I the extra weight of animals added by ' our farmers. ' The full effect of these efforts began to bear their best results In the last half of the fiscal ycnr, when the ex ports to the Allies were 'ilXI.100,000 pounds, as against 1,200,500,000 pounds In the same period of the year before. This compares with an average of 801,000.000 pounds ot total exports far the same half years In the three-year pre-war period.

The exports to Allied destinations during the fiscal year 1010-17 were: Wheat 135,100,000 bushels and rye 2,300,000 bushels, a total of 137,400.000 bushels. In addition some 10,000,000 bushels of 1017 wheat are now In port for Allied destinations or en route practico as here outlined by tho Mon tana Experiment Station: "Tbey gather all the coarso hay left in the mango: s after feeding and run it through an alfalfa chopper, adding enough finely cut straw to make a day's ration for their herd.

In ad dition to tills we have shipped some 10,000,000 bushels to neutrals depend ent upon us, and we have received some Imports frcm other quarters. "This accomplishment of our people In this matter stands out even moro clearly If we bear In mind fr.at we hud available In the fiscal year 1010-17 from net carry-over and as surplus over our normal consumption about 200,000,000 bushels of wheat which we were able to export that year without trenching on our home lonf," Mr. Hoover said. 'This lust year, however, owing to the large failure of the 1017 wheat crop, we had available from net carry-over and production nnd Imports only Just about our normal consump tion. Therefore our wheat shipments to Allied destinations represent ap proximately savings from our own wheat bread. These figures, however, do not fully convey the volume of the effort and sacrifice innde during the pnsi rear by the 'whole American people. De spite (he magnificent effort of our' agri cultural population In pluming a much Increased ucreage In 1017, not only was i there a very large failure' In wheat. ! uut it iso mo corn rimed lo mature prop- 1 crly, nun our com la our dominant crop.

Hoover wrote in concluding his report, "that all the mllllMiK of our people, agricultural na ' well us urban, who have contributed in i(iehe results Miouiu reel a very definite satisfaction that In a year of universal food shortages In tho north ern hemisphere all of those neonle Joined together against Germany have come through Into sight of tho comlo harvest not only with wealth and strength fully maintained, but with only temporary periods of hardship.
