THE F.l.FCTlOV
The primary election has come ami
pone with the majority ot the citi
zens of Oregon taking such little in
terest that, they never went near the
polls.. However, those that did,
showed by a strong vote that the time
worn phrase of not swapping horses
while crossing over, is still very much
in vogue.
The United State is at war. Nat
urally men w ho have made an excel
lent record as w ar officials should be
retained. Hence the overwhelming
vote for both Senator McXary and
Governor Withycombe is to a large
extent accounted for. Both men have
made excellent records and now have
an united Republican party behind
them to Insure their success In the
November election.
R. N. Stanfield ran way behind I.
the state, but Morrow county gave
him a substantial lead over Senator
McNary. Being an Eastern Oregon
man with interests identical with the
people of this section, made Mr. Stan
field the favorite candidate in this
county.
Mr. Stanfield has already demon
strated the fact that he is a man big
enough to fill a chair in the United
States Senate by showing that he is
a number one loser and has pledged
his full support to Senator McXary.
In the county there was but one
contest. This was the republican
nomination for sheriff. Although
Willnrd Horren made a valiant race.,
one worthy of his opponent, by carry
ing seven out of the seventeen pre
cincts, E. M. Shutt came out at the
finish in style running true to his
former record and lead Mr. Herren
by 129 votes. H. C. Githens received
the democratic endorsement and will
be pitted against Mr. Shutt in the
November elottion. Owing to the
fact that Mr. Shutt made an excel
lent record while sheriff of this coun
ty in former years, he is a strong can
didate, although many have figured
that Mr. Githens will run stronger
than his party, which he must do of
course, if he is the winner.

TIME FIGHTS OX THE SIDE OF
THE ALL1KS.
Military observers report that while
the Germans in Picardy and Flap
pers are keeping up incessantly their
prerirations for a resumption nf
their spring offensive, there is as yet
no indication that an attack on a
large scale is immediately imminent.
The longer the delay the stron
er the proof that Fritz was dazed and
demoralized by his previous drive.
There is no question that his armies
were badly shot up and the morale
of his forces shattered. Another
such ordeal, with his military objec
tives unattained, would be a terrif
fic shock to the German nation.
It is vastly important in warfare
to measure correctly the strength and
resources of the enemy, and equally
a mistake to either overrate or to un
derrate them. For example, the al
lies have made the grave mistake in
past years of underrating Germany's
economic resources of thinking she
could be brought to terms by food
shortage and exhaustion of other mil
itary necessaries. That expectation
has been all but discarded recently,
and the allies have about settled
down to the belief that the war must
be won entirely by the feats of arms.
It may be so, but indications are
coming out of Germany that economic
wastage is telling on the enemy's en
durance. The German wireless press
admits that in view of uncertainty
concerning supplies from Ukraine the

bread ration will be reduced from 200
to 160 grammes from June 16, a
condition that is seemingly confirmed
by a secret circular addressed by the
German -government to the German
newspapers. The admission is made
that the German commissioners have
coninced themselves of a dearth of
cereals in Ukraine, owing to insuf
ficient seeding and the fact that the
small property owners have buried
their grain.
In launching their fierce offensive
the Gorman general staff seems to
have been harried by two pressing
necessities economic shortage and
the steadily increasing American ar

ioktla::d a wool market.
The economy of scouring wool near
the field of production is so obvious
that it was 110 sooner explained to
Chairman Baruch, of the War Indus
tries Board, than it was recognized
and acted upon. That is an inevit
able result of a war emergency which
overrules all sectional and political
influence. Boston has long held su
premacy as the wool market of Am
erica because it had the financial
power to buy the clip, because It had
scouring facilities to place clean wool
before the manufacturer and because
It is near the consuming market.
Portland is now In a position to
supplant Boston pajtially in all these
respects. It has enough capital to
handle the clip, It has scouring mills
and it has a steadily growing mar
ket among Oregon wool manufactur
ers. The time should not be remote
when Portland will handle all the
wool of the Northwest and ultimately
all that of the South as w ell. Boston
has an advantage in being the mar
ket for imported wool, but Portland
has no serious handicap in distance
by sea from foreign wool-growing
countries and will offer a domestic
market for all classes of wool as
more branches of the manufacturing
industry become established In Or.
gon. Saving of freight charges on
two pounds of grease and dirt, for j
every pound of clean wool shipped
East and the consequent economy of
transportation facilities arrangements
wnich must tell in the end.

EXTHTSIASM AXD RIVALRY.
After a 6000-ton ship had been
launched at Camden, N. J., Within
27 days after the laying of keel,
Charles M. Schwab, director of ship
production, was asked, "Can you keep
up that gait? Won't your executlev3
and your workers tire?"
"Not when they get two essentials,"
he replied. "These essentials are en
thusiasm and rivalry. Virtually the
whole secret of my success in handl
ing big things may be gummed up in
these two words."
Men can't be got to endure extra
ordinary labor, he explains, unless
their enthusiasm is roused. That can
only be done by the man who tries
to rouse them by setting the pace
himself. Mr. Schwab does that, He
never asks any man to work "for
him," but always "with him." And
to keep up the enthusiasm when It i
once aroused, wholesome rivalry Is
necessary. He has arranged for that
by offering prizes and establishing
championships for the working gangs
In each shipyard, and by encouraging
the various yards to surpass each
other In speed and volume of work.
It's getting results with our ship
ping, as every newspaper reader can
see from recent production figures.
It will get results elsewhere. The
principle was used to good effect In
the recent Liberty loan campaign. It
might well be applied to every phase
of our multitudinous war prepara
tions. In fact, the war as a whole de
mands exactly these principles. It
is by enthusiasm and rivalry, carried
to the highest pitch, that an army
wins battles. It Is by enthusiasm and
rivalry on the part of the nation as
a whole, against the German nation,
that we shall make American ideals
of peace and freedom triumph over
alien Ideals of autocracy and domination.
MEASI RK UP.
The Federal Food Administrator
is making a final appeal to all people
who are patriotic to save wheat.
Most people are doing all they caa,
but a few do not realizez the need of
saving every pound of flour which
can possibly be saved. The use of
flour for anything but human food
is positively forbidden. This means
hardship to many. The paperhang
iug business is almost at a standstill
because it is not allowed to use flour
for paste. Many bakeries are barely
making expenses because they are so
limited in the use of white flour. The
supply of old potatoes is still large,
but the quality is fast deteriorating.
Let us make the largest possible use
of the supply while we ran. Would
you not rather go hungry than to
have some soldier who is fighting for
you go hungry?
There is a report going around,
which has the ear-marks of German
propaganda, to the effect that the
people engaged in the war work are
being paid for their work. The fact
is that, aside from a little clerical
work, all the war work in this coun
ty is being done absolutely without
cost to the Government. I under
stand that those who have been paid
a small amount for clerical work
have donated their pay to the Red
Cross. The County Clerk, the Sher
iff, the County School Superintendent,
the Chairman of the Council of De
fense, the Chairman of the War Sav
ings work, the County Food Admin
istrator, and many others have been
giving their time and services with
out one cent of compensation. Hun
dreds of our citizens have been en
gaged in the different drives, using
their automobiles, giving their time,
and contributing their money, with
out even a thought of reward. The
Red Cross workers have labored
without ceasing, and their only
thought is to help in the cause of hu
manity. When you hear reports such
as that referred to above, run them
down, and you will find at the bottom
a German propagandist. Fortunate
ly, through the generosity of the
newspaper men, we are able to head
off some of the German lies.

Eight Mile People Show Great Pa
triotism. "The Eight Mile people displayed
the greatest patriotic fervor I have
yet encountered since the war fund
drives started," said C. E. Woodson,
