THE GAZETTE-TIMES. HEPPXER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1918. r AGE TWO 400,000,000 HUMAN BE INGS SHORT OF FOOD Portland. Ore., June 12. Federal Food Administrator V. B. Aver, who recently returned from a series of conferences at Washington, n. C, di rects attention to an excerpt from a recent speech of Herbert i Hoover, which Mr. Aver says, should impress all who read it with the great ser iousness of the world food shortage and the ital necessity for the utmost individual effort of everyone in the Mving and production of all foods. Mr. U.iover said: "If you could stand in the middle of Germany today and survey the land to the borders of Europe you vo'ild disciAir i;s whole population, of 'i oiio. 000 human beings short) of frod. Where Germany l as over-i run ;t:- borders millions of people In Poland. Finland, Serbia. Armenia and Ruisia are actually dying of starva tion and other millions are suffering from under-nutrition. Still others ol, these mi'.licns cutslde the German lines, that is, our Allies and neutrals, are living on the barest margins that ; will support life and strength. "This, the most appalling and dreadful thing that has come to hu manity since the dawn of civilization. I is to me the outstanding creation of German militarism. Yet the Ger mans themselves are not the worst sufferers: they are extorting at the cannon's mouth the harvests and live stock of the people they have over run, leaving them in desolation. 1 am lonfineed that if the war were to cease tomorrow, the toll of actual dead from starvation and its attend ant diseases within the German lines would double or treble the five mil lions or six millions of men w ho have been actually killed by Germany and her allies in arm. The ten millions of people in Belgium and Northern France should have all died of star vation had it not been for the action of the nations at war against Ger many in the maintenance of these people through the relief system. But this is only one part of the whole story of misery, for the sinking of the world's shinring is reverberating pri vation and famine in some direction every day and into every corner of the globe." Fred H. Beymer and family of Klondike, accompanied by Mrs. Bey mer's sister Mrs. Wesley Fuller, are visiting ;.t Hood River and helping with the berry harvest. Moro Observer. Here to Visit Daughters.

A fowl weighing two pounds dressed should make a pint jar of solid meat and a pint of stock thick enough to jell.

Because, for five years, the Chandler has been such a good car, so well built, so dependable in its ser vice on the road. And because now, so distinctly, it offers extraordinary value. The most distinguished feature of the Chandler Six is its niarvelous motor Chandler-designed and Chandler-built which, through five years of re finement without radical changes, has been devel oped to a point approximating perfection. The life, pick-up, power and endurance of the Chandler motor have been a revelation to thou sands of experienced motorists. The Chandler motor is mounted in a really great chassis, and Chandler bodies offer an attractive range of choice.

Mil. OTTO IS THANKFUL. It is impossible tor me to express In words the gratitude I feel towards the men who came to my rescue In the recent fire, and they no doubt are satisfied In the consciousness of the fact that they did their duty, but I desire to make this feeble expression of my thanks, for had they been a tew seconds later I would not be here to say this. I would like to take each man by the hand and thank him per sonally, as I certainly owe my life to their prompt and brave action, but as I am not acquainted with them all I take this means of letting them know my feelings. OSCAR R. OTTO. - No Trouble at All. The small boy stood at the garden howled. A passing old lady, says the howled. A passing aid lady, says the Irish World, paused beside him. "What's the matter, little man?" she asked In a kindly voice. "O-o-oh !" walled the youngster. "Pa and ma won't take me to the pictures tonight !" "But don't make such a noise," said the dame, admonishing. "Do they ever take you when you cry like that?" "Sometimes they do, an' sometimes they d-d-on't,' bellowed the boy.
