I'ATKK THE SOl.MKUS' WEEKLY NEWS LETTER. Pome of the newspapers of the t a.o have been lambasting those pa triotic men who are responsible for the Soldier's Weekly News Letter. As we view it. the comlemnatiou of the publication on the part of the critics, is untimely. Three issues of the paper have been sent across the water to our boys in France and as yet, we have barely had time to hear the verdict of the boys over there. If the Soldiers' Weekly News Let ter brings one iota of cheer to our gallant men, then it should be en couraged to the fullest extent. Much ' has been written and more has been said about how glad the boys are to receive a word from home. In the Soldiers' Weekly News Letter are it ems gathered from over the state, ev . ery county being represented. We will venture the assertion that the boys a broad devour every item in that pa per. The Soldiers' Weekly News Leter Is sent to the boys over there free of ear. Both are giving aid and comfo to the enemy and prolonging th struggle which will eventually weed them both out. the glutton. It's time to go after 5-5 EVERY VOTER SHOYI.lt REA "THE VOTER." Every voter in the State of Oregon should read the "Oregon Voter." many people may not know, we will say that the "Oregon Voter" is pub lished in Portland aud C. C. Chapman is the able editor of the same. As the name would indicate, the Voter deals out a whole lot of infor mation pertaining to politics, both men and measures. Aud then M .Chapman is a regular "bear" for sta tistics and page after page of the Vo ter is usually found filled with dia grams, figures and illustrations to show in a clear and concise manner just what he is driving at. At the present time Mr. Chapman is devoting space to character sketch es of the men who would serve Ore gon. The sketches are interesting and sometimes quite funny. But the Voter has its serious side as wol) as the light, and we can re commend it as being one of the most interesting periodicals coming to our desk each week. This is not paid advertisement. Every Individual is on the police force of the Food Administration, His first vigilance should be to see that his own service is all that it should be, then to police his family and his neighbors. l-i MAKE POTATOE FLOUR. The more communities follow the lead of the Yakima valley in begin charge, but owing to the fact that the nIng the manufacture of potatoe flour demand for the publication at home has become so great, a subscription price of two dollars per year has been set for civilians. Here some of the state papers kick again, saying that certain interests are promoting a commercial scheme to fatten their .own purses. 1 But we would not impugn the mo tives of those men who are conclous ly striving to send cheer to the sol diers. They should be lauded for their patriotic intent and the Sol diers' Weekly News Letter should be given the encouragement ot the peo ple of the state of Oregon. the better the food administration will be pleased. Likewise the better the public will be pleased. In the ex periments that have been conducted lately with different kinds of flour for bread making, the flour of the po tatoe has passed with a high grade It has been found to be a good, wor kable flour, supplying especially the proportion of starch that war bread needs. If there is one food product that Is plentiful right now in the United Sta tes, it is potatoes. But in many in stances the biggest stores of pota toes are concentrated in localities such as the Yakima valley region from which they can not effectively inrpn THP 11 1'TivYV I 06 aisiriQuiea Because ui me runway starvations other than the fact; Making the potatoes into flour that this is a word containing ten let- wouid ease the situation.

Yet there is a chance that may come to know the full meaning of the word, if in no other than in the manner that those people of a food famined country have learned It. There are people in this country, we won't call them Americans, they have not yet shown that they deserve the title, who do not seem to realize the task of this country in supplying the starving people of Europe with food. Three square meals a day have had the effect of making gluttons out of many of our well meaning people. Unconciously these people are work ing for the success .of our enemies and all the time they think they are adding to the nourishment of their own bodies. If the simple truth was known they are probably eating en ough to nourish their own bodies and two or three starving children of Bel gium also. These are the people the Food Administration should go after just as hard as the Hun in our midst who would put ground glass in su- Spokesman-Review. A. Z, Barnard Takes Charge of Room ing House. A.

During the year 1917 some 320 acres of the right of way and other lands of the Oregon-Washington Rail road & Navigation Company, western unit of the Union Pacific System, were planted to vegetables. These railroad war gardens varied in size, and were tilled by more than one thousand employes. Many employes are home-owners, and they planted vegetables in lieu of flowers and spa ded up their lawns to grow food pro ucts. More war gardens will be planted this spring. The employes who used company lands last year have asked tor the priviledge of using them a- ga!i. In many instances their appli cation!, vere filed during the fall months.
