Europe's war teaches lessons of thrift to America, and their value is not lessened through the fact that the thrift now practiced there is an enforced thrift. Europeau conserva tion of resources and energies should spur Americans anew to war upon waste. Wastage of crops Is one of our weaknesses. Government forecasts indicate an American harvest this year worth $12,000,000,000. But while Germany defies starvation and nine oposing i.ations through saving the last crumbs in ltd granaries and cupboards America will burn thous ands of tons of grain straw in the fields that should feed cattle or make bedding. American waste of products from maize exceeds even that of the straw of wheat. One student of the value of byproducts calculates that our wastage of corn products amounts to $200,000,000 annually, which comes to half of the gross cost of the Pan ama canal. His estimate confines it self to wastage in the field through letting the stalk of the maize oxidize and decay. During the last 20 years the monetary loss from waste of the byproducts of corn, it is calculated, has exceeded $2,000,000,000 the amount that this year's yield of corn is expected to be worth. Statisticians reckon that scientific conservation of the byproducts from maize would add not less than $500,000,000 annually to its value. The national department of agri culture estimates that spoiled eggs annually lose Americans $40,000,000, and maintains that this loss might be avoided merely through banishing the rooster from the flock when he is not needed for breeding. . Fertil ized eggs without cold storage stay good only half as long as Infertile eggs. The potato offers another occasion for the waste of millions, both in the product and in values. The Maine crop of 25,000,000 bushels annually loses 700,000 bushels in shipment, and wastes $280,000. As Maine po tatoes form only a twentieth of the nation's yearly yield of potatoes the total loss the country through must be enormous. Two years ago, in ad dition millions of bushels rotted in the ground at the San Joaquin dis trict of California and the Walfa Wal la district of Oregon. Wastage of fruit Is an old, old story to the Pacific northwest.. It is enough to remark now that govern ment experts declare that domestic canning of fruits would save $100, 000,000 every year to the people of the United States. Housewives, when they use scientific management in the kitchen, can enrich the nation with $200,000,000 more every twelve month. American wastage of food products costs the country enough to support an army of 1,000,000 sol diers, run the government for years or build Panamo canals galore. Spokesman-Review. DECADENCE OF SHEEP INDUSTRY. That the number of sheep in tlii? country is rapidly being decreased is apparent. An exchange says that May usually attracts a considerable number of native lambs and their mothers to the Chicago market. Till? year the usual run did not show up and it is only logical that they are not in the country. Wool buyers that have been scouring Iowa, Illinois and In diana say that flocks that formerly existed in those states have disap peared. Every report indicates a ma terial decline in the wool clip of thost sections and this necessarily means also, a shortage in native lambs, Pendleton Tribune.

BettieBuiJf VI fountain favorite V-v introduce you to er new friend (L mm n "FIRST FOR THIRST -ir & at tour favorite Jountain Portland, Ore., June 29. 1915. in view of the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Oregon & California land grant case, the matter has become one for ac tion by the citizens of this state. Some decision must be arrived at by Congress within six mouths from the date of the Supreme Court decision, and five months ot that time will elapse before the beginning of the next session of Congress, leaving only one month in which to have the qiK's tion acted upon by both houses. In order to expedite matters and to se cure all necessary data, Oregon's congressional delegation, consisting of two senators and three representa tives, will cooperate with the Port land Chamber of Commerce and a series ot conferences will be held to determine the standing of settlers and other interested parties in each county in which the disputed land is located. It is believed that by taking vigorous action during the Summer and Fall all facts and figures can be collected and tabulated in such form that Congress will be able to reach a decision without delay. As on this decision depends the winning or los ing by Oregon of several million dol lars, It is of the utmost importance that no time be lost in starting this Investigation. No time has been lost by the road authorities of Multnomah county in taking advantage ot the permission granted by the people of this part of the state at the recent election, to spend $1,250,000 in paving county roads. On Monday, June 21, the Warren Construction Co. signed a contract in the office of Roadmaster Yeon, and three hours later work had been started on the first unit of the Sandy Road, just outside the city limits. Two days later the finishing coat had been applied to this section and preliminary work on the next unit was well under way. Contracts for paving the Columbia Highway and other county roads were signed the same day and work started with almost equal promptness. For the purpose of handling poul try products to the best advantage, a "Poultry and Egg Circle" has been organized at Corvallis under the di rection of experts of the Agricultural College. The new association has al ready made arrangements to han dle the products of flocks aggregat ing more than 3,000 fowls. The eggs will be graded, candled and marked with the association stamp. A mar ket has already been established which will represent a marked in crease in returns from this source. If found to work satisfactorily, it is pro posed to organize similar circles all over the state. That Oregon dairies rank among the very best in the United States Is indicated by the action of the judges at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco in awarding the grand prize, consisting of a gold medal and $100 In gold, for the highest average scored by ten samples of Oregon milk exhibited. Medals were also awarded for the extremely low bacteria count in samples of Oregon milk and cream no other samples having made any where near as good a showing. FOR TRADE.
