Can You Rely Upon It To Serve You through The Times Just Ahead? Now is the time when you should arrange your mo tor car needs for the future. It may shortly be impossible to get a good new car. You have seen in the newspapers how it is proposed to curtail productions to a fraction of the present output. Even now the output of every factory is much lower than had been scheduled. But there has been no such fallingoff in demand. Present needs call for more and better cars than can be furnished. Motor cars must do the work that the badly pressed railroads cannot do. Good cars only can be relied upon. With outputs curtailed and a scarcity of mechanics to keep less depen dable cars in good' order, it is important that you plan for your future needs now. Get a Super-Six while you can. We can take care of today's wants. The revised schedule, much less than we had expected, makes future supply uncertain. The known reliability of the Super-Six makes it the first choice of thousands of buyers. If all who plan buying Hudsons should realize the present situation, all the cars the factory can build in the next year would undoubtedly be spoken for within a few days. Some are going to be disappointed because they won't be able to get deliveries when they want them. Better look over your present car closely and deter mine if it can be relied upon with the outlook as it now is. Vaughn & Sons HEPPNER. ORE FOOD CONTROL MEANSVICTORY European Shortage Places Prob lem Before American Govern ment Farsighted Policy Adopted. NEED 75,003,000 BU. WHEAT. Food Administration Asks Aid of j Every American In Gigantio Task of Feeding Millions. It Is the food problem over there that makes a food problem over here. If we wished to be supremely seltish and supremely shortsighted we could go on eating ns imieh us we like und whatever we like, without much dilli- culty or Interruption at least, until the Germans camel But we are not doing things in that seltish and sulcldnl way. We are try ing to make a great common pool of nil of our food, and all of the food of . the allies, and all of the food we can get from South American and other ! neutrals, and dividing it up fairly itnong America, England, France, Bel- , tflwn anil Italy. This does not mean .hnt all of the xople in the great pool are going to ! huve the same ration, but means that I we nre trying to arrange to have enough for everybody, so thai the sol- liers our soldiers and. their soldiers- will be well feil, as they have to be lo hY'lit hard and continuously, tind hill the munitions workers itnil ilia workers in nil the other necessary In-! lustries. and the men and women at I Imme will all have enough to keep ii live and xyell. It Is absolutely neces sary to do this if the war Is to be won, nml we are going to do it, but it means i planning, working, arranging co-oper- ting, being careful, not wasting, sav-J ing. And It means that each and every me of us lias got to help. Now, we have enough and more than enough food for ourselves, and the Government is going to see to it that we keep here at home a sufficient sup-, ply of every essential kind of food to j support our people. But over there j they simply have not enough. Lord I Rhondda, the English food controller, recently cabled the American food ad ministrator, that unless we- can send the allies' before the next uropein harvest 75,000,000 bushels of wheat in addition to what had been sent up to January 1 of this year he could not assure the people of the allies that ' they would have a sufficient supply of food to carry on the war. j lie (lid not say anything in tins cable about the other fond necessary, but he has tnjil of these nepils in oilier cables ami by his actions In Kimlnml. For example, his Intesi regulallnn compels a reduction of meat eu ing in J the L'nlteil Kingdom to a niaxlii v 'o of one pound per week per penon, this pound ineluiiiv 'he 'none and other wr.st" mrls In the meat as bought in the shop. The allies must have more wheat, more meat, more fats, mrxe dairy prod ucts, more sugar. Their harvests were very short France, had less tliaii half her normal crop of wheat and the avnilable shipping Is small In amount and constantly being lessened by s ib marines, so that It Is now practically Impossible to use any ships for the long voyage necessary to bring fi.od from Australia and other remote ninrke:s. The food must come chiefly from Ainerien. In specific figures it Is nec essary for us to send to the allies 1,100.000 tons of foodstuffs a month. Tills Is n great responsibility and a great problem. The food must , be found, and also the ships to carry It. It Is being done, but can only continue to be done by the Ijelp and full co operation of all of us over our broad land. We must produce and save more. To supply the wheat necessary until the next harvest, we must reduce our consumption by from one-fourth to one-third; we must cut down our usual average consumption of meals and fats by from 10 to 15 per cent, and dairy products by about 10 per cent. Over there they are lightening their belts and doing everything they can. They are eating war bread ; they are cutting down their sugar In England to two pounds per person per month, and In France and Italy to one pound how much are you eating? und they are using ration curds for most of the staples. We must meet sacrifice vvllli sacrifice. If we don't, we are helping to lose the war Instead of helping to win it. The First Replacement Regiment of Engineers A DIFFERENT ENGINEER ORGANIZATION This Kcgiim-nt was formed Hoet'iuber 14th, 11)17, at Washington Iliurucks, I). l, for the express purpose of supplying the various En gineer I'nits of the I'. S. Army with stilled mechanics and technic ally trained men. HOW IT DIFFERS Upon enlistment the skilled man is sent through a training course de signed to adapt his technical knowledge to military needs. This Is divided into two parts: MILITARY That he may be able to defend himself, the recruit Is first taught the fundamentals of military science. Instruction In the use of the rifle and bayonet Is given until proficiency is obtained. Strength and health are gained by a system of physi cal exercise. TECHNICAL The outstanding feature of the course Is the training given in the Military Trade Schools. Here, under competent In structors, the Engineer soldier learns how technical skill Is ap plied to the conduct of the war. He comes out of these Schools ready to take an effective place in the Engineer Unit and to "de liver the goods." Everybody Knows What the Engineers Are Doing In France Today. Information regarding enlistments may be had by addressing Commanding Officer. FIRST REPLACEMENT REGIMENT OF ENGINEERS Washington llai rucks, I). ('. gDofling Points Hire vaporizing poiiiti.
