A very noticeable fact in travel
ing through Umatilla county is
the lack of sign posts along the
roads. This is made especially
so when, on crossing into Wash
ington all cross roads are marked.
And yet the Oregon law pro-
vides for this work.
Enumeration of all male citi-
zens between 21 and 30 is re-
quired. The work will be hand
led through the regular voting
precincts. Those between the
designated ages should lose no
time in registering on the date
set.

Why not bring some of the
thousands of German prisoners
to the United States. It would
serve a double purpose. They
could supply the demand for
farm labor and at the same time
have them here to feed instead
of taking the food to them.

A short trip through Eastern
Oregon and Eastern Washington
convinces us more thoroughly
than ever that the Hermiston
country need not take a back
seat for any other section. Our
prospects for crops are as good if
not more certain, we are ahead
of most places in season and have
more sunshine.

Keep perishables cool, clean and covered.
Tbe moment meat, fish, milk and eggs are allowed to get warm
they begin to spoil.
Bacteria and germs multiply rapidly in slightly warm food and
quickly make it dangerous or unfit to eat.
Keep perishable foods in the coolest, cleanest place you can
provide, preferably in a good refrigerator or ice house, but, at any
rate, in covered vessels suspended io the well, or in the coolest
clean place in your borne or cellar.

Meat, fish and milk are ideal breeding grounds for such germs.

House flies—better called “typhoid flies"—are among the dirti-

and manure heaps, carrying filth on their feet which they deposit
on any food on which they alight. Frequently germs of typhoid
fever arc carried by flies in tne filth of their bodies, and in their
excrement ( flyspecks).
Ordinary cleanliness demands that flies be kept out of our
homes and away from our food.
