McMENAMIN, Auctioneer. Britisher Willing to Subsist en Short Ration if That Will Help Win the War for Liberty. It really Isn't necessary to tell the British people notto waste food. There Is nothing eatable left on the average plate when the meal is finished. .Meals are one Interminable round of fish and eggs, fish and eggs. Eggs are found disguised under all manner of names, but, always there are eggs, not seven times a week, but almost 21 times a week, writes Chester JI. Wright, mem ber of t9 American Federation of Labor mission to England. Moat is rationed by a card system. So Is sugar, of which yon may have six ounces a wee': anil uo inure. One of the best hotels iu London is serv ing butter or margarine only once dally. Many hotels have none for days at a time. Desserts are a thing of the p:ist, recorded in history but not among the things extant. Milk is rationed. Ten soon will be. Bread is rationed. Hotels will serve you with one brown roll per meal. The average man would be amazed at the Kritish menu today, but the British do not grumble. They go on short rations knowing that It must be" done, and accept it us part of the war that must be carried vic torywards. Even if it were possible to break the food restrictions the average Brit isher has not the slightest desire to get more to eat than his neighbors. ' Especially among the British workers Is there an obvious grim satisfaction when members of the American labor nilssiou and speakers tell How ships are being rushed to completion In 20 states, and how self-denial by the Brit ish people in matters of food and luxu ries make each ton of maximum value 800-Acre Creek Ranch V2 miles of creek. 110 acres under ditch.

"The less food the more troops," Is the slogan which appeals especially to the Clyde ship builders, one of wlum said: "If ships from the United States are laden as far ns possible with soldiers and ammunition, then every bolt we drive Is as good as a ritle shot against the Germans." 1 BBi!! a LI CECIL NEWS HEMS Ueorgfi A.

The war of the roses that never ends 1 is a war to vanquish beauty with greater beauty. For long ages, since history began, this has been going on. Japan and India, Serbia and Persia cheered on contestants a dozen centu ries before Damascus gave to the Cru saders the damask rose for occidental culture. "Decisions" nave only tem porary significance. For example, as Pans gave Venus the award of beauty, his namesake city gives southern Cali fornia the gold, medal, the prize of honor at the Bagatelle competition. But California must meet world com petition In years to come and must maintain her form or get out of the running. Rose culture is a progressive art. , i As for the Germans, we believe they were not represented nt Bagatelle. " That does not mutter much. In this, its in tneir science, the Teutons are rather imitators than originators. True their Duchess do Mecklenburg, their Cnrnellu Koch, their Felonberg and particularly their Princess de Sngan, with its rich maroon and crimson love liness, have attracted English atten tion.

PACIFIC COAST I Ul IT.MAX FACE NEW APPLE CKADE Proposed Standards Place Fruit Lower Classification Willi Loss to (irowers. in Oregon Agricultural College, Nov. 12. A movement so to change the box apple grades that certain Oregon fruit in first and second classes will be thrown into the. lowest grade with serious loss to the erowers. is now on foot. The United States department' wrltten to many of agriculture Is leading the move ment, which has for its purpose unifying the apple grades and lower ing the number of classes. "There is no wish on the part of the government men to Injure us in any way," asserts Prof. C. I. Lewis of the Oregon Agricultural College," ent in more arid districts where fungus troubles are not serious. "I am sure we want In cooperate in the movement to standardize the grades and we want to see our In terests protected. We want to see that Oregon growers have a grade that will enable them to make as much as they are making now, and perhaps a little more. Strictly I am in favor of uniform grades and gov ernment inspection' but I d;j not want to see them brought about until thrashed out thoroughly." Four thousand questionnaires have been sent out to northwestern growers and dealers, and the answers wili be considered at the Spokane apple growers' convention, December I 10 to 13. Professor Lewis has Oregon growers urging them to see that their in terests are represented In this con vention. He will attend and take part In the discussions. Somebody Must Have Tcld Him. Jay MeCord of exemption board No. 3 finds the young negroes of the dis trict an inexhaustible source of de light. "They refer," he says, "quite rightly to their 'consecration papers.' One of them, whose patriotism was of the right kind, returned his question naire the other day. 'Well, George, do you waive exemption?' I asked him. 'Oh, yassah, boss, yassah. Ah'll wave anything. Jes' give me a flag a Unit ed States flag, if you' got one au' Ah'll show you whether Ah kin wave it.' " Another, says Mr. McCord, wrote In his questionnaire that his allowance to his wife was $100 a month. "That's fair enough," I said. "Let's see how much do you make?" "Ten dollahs a week, boss. All's a porter." "Ten dollars a week, eh? Then you shoot craps." The darkey's eyes bulged with sur prise. "Huccum yo' know dat.'boss," he gapped ; "who done tol' you' Ah shoot craps?"

"If you want to see' a whole nation in arms, go to France," says a hearty, good-looking United Slates soldier boy just buck from the war front, and now in a hospital. "It's not just In the cities. It's In the little country towns. I've seen old women nt work In the fields, women so feeble Hint they had to walk with a cane when they weren't working. I've seen an old French mother wheeling fertilizer up to the top of the hill. She hud to do the work because her men folks were In the trenches. After every trip up hill she came tottering down, and you might have thought she couldn't wheel another load. She did, though. I tell you, the spirit of those French people Is the wonder of this war." ' I .1.1 iron ana steel are needed for war. The U. S. Government is calling for the conservation of metal for war uses.
