Overseas, where American soldiers
are facing the enemy, a letter from
home is most welcome. It is the
strongest home-tie. It helps to keep
the morale of the American soldier
at the topmost point. Next In point
of impo:.ance is the old home news
paper. From this he learns what is
happening among his friends. It is
most important that the home news
paper should follow him across the
seas.
Persons who wish to get this work
of cheer to the boys from this com
munity may do so by subscribing to
this newspaper and having it address
ed to the American Y. M. C. A. 12
Rue d'Auguesseau, Paris, France.
The national war work council of the
Y. M. C. A. will see that the paper
is forwarded to the soldier at the
front. It will be sent to a camp
where boys from this state are sta
tioned. War work secretaries in Y. M. C.
A. huts overseas state that the hard
est thing they have to combat is
homesickness. The lads are yearn
ing for news from their loved ones.
The letter is first in Importance, the
old home newspaper fills the void
in the absence of the letter. You
can help to maintain the morale of
the American troops in France by
sending him this paper. Think it
over.
l-i
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH TEX.
AS?
The food Administrator of Texas
announced a few days ago that Texas
was ready to go on an entijely wheat
less ration until the food situation
improves. In response to this offer,
Gen. Pershing sent the following ca
blegram: ;
"I assure you the American' Expe
ditionary Forces appreciate the sac
rifice made by your great State to
ward winning the war. The United
States will win through sacrilces of
men, money, and comforts, and the
troops already here will have the op
portunity through the Army publica
tion, 'The Stars and Stripes,' to
know part of what the largest State
in the Union is doing." j
Oregon may not be able to go on a
wheatleas ration because it is o dif
ficult to get the substitutes, but Ore
gon Is moving in the right direction.
Many are turning their surplus flour
Into the hands of the dealers, who
are authorized to pay for the flour
at the market price. The dealer
then reports the purchase to Mr.
Houser at Portland; the Government
repays the dealer. Mr. W. L. Barlow,
who lives south of lone, brought in
white flour and traded it for substi
tutes. It was feared that the far
mers might object to placing their
surplus wheat on the market before
May 15, as the administrator had or
dered, but there seems to be very lit
tle objection. This is very gratify
ing. The sugar situation is improving.
People are still urged to limit con
sumption to three pounds per capita
per month, or less, so there will be
plenty of sugar for canning purposes,
for the government desires that the
canning of fruit be unhampered.
The Domestic Science class of the
Heppner public school, by their dis
plays in the grocers' windows last
Saturday, did much to encourage the
use of potatoes. A report of their
work will be sent to the Food Admin
istrator at Portland.
BUY BONDS, BUY THRIFT
STAMPS, EAT LESS SUGAR, EAT
MORE POTATOES, SAVE WHEAT,

(Oregonian May 3, '18.)
United States Senator McNary, in'
a telegram received at the McNary
headquarters here yesterday, stated ;
that he was not in sympathy with ex-;
Governor West's recent proposal that '
that the ex-Governor, R. N. Stanfield
and Judge King retire from the Sen-1
atorlal field and leave it clear to the1
Senator. Senator McNary- gave as'
his reasons that the people are en
titled "to have a free hand in the se
lection of their Senator," and that he
desires no candidate to make "a po
litical or personal sacrifice" for him.
Senator McNary further declared
that he had submitted his caudidacy
"to the voters without reference to)
any other person's ambition," and
that what any of his opponents in 1
either party did or might do was en-'
tirely "upon their initiative."
In declining to accept ex-Governor
West's proposal, Mr. Stanfield, candi
date against Senator McNary, and
Judge King, candidate against Mr.
West, commented upon the proposal!
at length, and the McNary headquar
ters here telegraphed the Senator for
his views upon it. His message was
in response to this wire, and reads
as follows:
"Telegraphic advice having reach
ed me relative to ex-Governor West's
proposal that he and Messrs. Stan
field and King all withdraw from the
primary contest, I desire to say that
Mr. West's proposal came to me as a
complete surprise. Being a candi
date, I am not made the confidant of
my opponents for the Senatorship in
either party. What they do or may
not do is entirely upon their initia
tive and not through any understand
ing with me. I have submitted my
candidacy to tie voters without re
ference to any other person's ambi
tion and free from any notion or pur
pose that anyone should retire in my
favor or make a political or personal
sacrifice for me. Such a proposal
does not command my sympathy, as I
desire the voters to have a free hand
in the selection of their Senator."
