XI HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1917 SOMETHING ABOUT THE AMERICAN RED CROSS The Hermitton auxiliary of the Red Cross it growing steadily in member- tbip. The officers hope chit will con tinue until every person in chit sec lion it affiliated. All the ladies who possibly can are urged to help on the sewing. Thia work is the makiog of needed supplies to be used in the hospitals and the demand will un doubted)/ soon be heavy. The work room ia open every day, so those giv- ing their time can select the hours that will least conflict with home work. The local auxiliary would also like to secure old sheets, pillow cases, towels and table linen. These are used in wrapping articles made here so when unpacked at the hospitals the articles are ready for immediate sterilization. A few extracts from a letter recent ly sent out by President Wilson on Red Cross work are given herewith: “Inorder that the relief work which is undoubtedly ahead of us should be made thoroughly efficient, it is most desirable that it should be coordinated and concentrated under one organiza tion. Having been made the official volunteer aid organization of the United States, the American Red Cross comes under the protection of the treaty of Geneva and has received due recognition from all foreign govern ments. Its status both at home and abroad is thus definitely determined and assured. "The civilian relief is under a train ed and experienced personnel especi ally fitted to care for soldiers' families and other non-combatants. The ac counts of the association are audited by the war department in order thoroughly to safeguard the funds cor- tributed by the public. "As the president of the American Red Cross, our branch of the great international organization, I most ear nestly commend it to your confidence and your support. Upon your aid, upon the amounts and promptness of your gifts and cooperation, must de pend the fulfillment of the duties that are imposed upon it. It serves so noble and bénéficient a purpose that it must appeal to all who love their country and who love humanity.” COLUMBIA NEWS NOTES at the Akers home. She expects to be here for some time.

COTTAGE CHEESE MEAT SUBSTITUTE Cottage cheese is one of the import ant meat substitutes, says specialists of the United States department of agriculture. It contains a larger per centage of protein, the chief material for body building, than most meats and furnishes this material at a lower cost. In every pound of cottage cbese there is about one-fifth of a pound of protein, nearly all of which is digestible. Meats, on the other hand, usually con tain less protein and besides have a certain waste, such as bone and other inedible material. A pound of cottage cheese daily would supply all the pro tein required by the ordinary adult engaged in a sedentary occupation. The following table shows that cot tage cheese is much cheaper than most meats in furnishing protein for the diet. I For supplying protein, one pound of cottage cheese equals — 1.27 pounds sirloin steak. 1 .09 pounds round steak. 1.37 pounds chuck rib roast. 1.52 pounds fowl. 1.46 pounds fresh ham. 1 44 pounds smoked bam. 1.58 pounds loin pork chop 1.31 pounds bind leg of lamb. 1.37 ponods breast of veal. In addition to protein, energy for performing body work must be fur nished by food. As a source of energy also cottage cheese is cheaper than most meats at prevent prices. Mr. Leathers and Mr. Reid are bay ing this week. Both report a good crop. The Rodgers family moved this week from the Gorham place onto the Straw homestead.

SENATOR DECLARES ROAD BONDS ÁRE ALL RIGHT Athena, Oregon, May 29, 1917 To the Editor: The opponents of the road bonds have cast so much mystery about the origin of the bill which will be sub mitted to tbe people on June 4, that I desire to make some explanation. In the first place, it is an utter false hood for any man to say that the bond bill was submitted to the people through the efforts of the paving trust or any other trust, or that any paving concern had tbe bill drawn, or pro cured it to be passed by tbe legisla ture. I hope tbe people who know me will not permit tbe enemies of the bond issue to mislead them about this fact. I was a member of the senate com mittee on roads and highways and was in a position to know, and did know, the influences which brought about the enactment of tbe bond bill. Any one who will examine tbe road legislation of the last legislative assembly, will see that one-half dozen of important roads bills were enacted. I took tbe closest possible interest in ail of this legislation. I was author of two of tbe more important of these measures. Tbe bond bill was, In a sense, tbe companion of the other road bills. It was brought about through a desire of tbe members of the legislature aod others, to submit a comprehensive road plan to tbe people. Whatever the people may do with it, the fact re mains that the bill was conceived in good faith by people in favor of good roads, and that it was not part of a wicked plot on tbe part of the paving trust as has been claimed by some poorly informed persons who are fight ing the bonds. Eastern Oregon has never received any state aid of any consequence in road development. The passing of the bond bill is tbe only guarantee that Eastern Oregon has ever bad, or will bave for years to come, that some of the state money will be spent east of tbe Cascade mountains. I say it is a guarantee because it designates roads. It designates roads through Eastern Oregon, some of tbe most important of which are in Uma tilla county. If the bond issue is passed tbe highway commission will be obliged to hard surface many miles of roads for which Umatilla county al ready has a base, or is in a position to construct a base. If tbe bond bill fails tbe commission will not be obliged to do soything for Eastern Oregon or for Um stilla county. If it passes, money will be available to complete exten sive road development. If It fails to pass, but little money will be available for years to come. I have tried for twelve years to pro cure for this district a workable road law, and consider that every man and woman who votes against the bond Mrs. Mack and Mrs. Manda Voyen went to Hermiston Saturday. Mrs Jeffreys of Portland, spent the night In town looking up a homestead. Geo. Thrall of Tbe Dalles, came up Saturday for a short visit at tbe Voyen home. Mrs. Nina Dickensen arrived Satur day for a visit with her father, S. A. Barnes. Geo Peterson, of Garden Home, Ore., returned to bis home after filing on a homestead in 24.

The Umatilla Sand A Gravel Co. bad a small fire in tbe engine room from the engine back firing but the prompt action of Clarence Atkinson soon put it out. Thursday at a meeting in tbe Civic Center room a movement was launched In Hermiston that is as important as tbe Red Cross or similar work, it was the Y. M. C. A. for army camps and at the front Then American troops go to Earope. Similar action is being taken in every state in tbe union that al) camps may be provided as fast as the men are assembled. Last year on the Mexican border, in Europe where the big struggle is going on and elsewhere tbe Y. M. C. A. has proven its necessity. Hundreds of officers aod men have unhesitating- ly said it was splendid. President Wilson has endorsed the work and permits the erection of ouildiugs and maintenance thereof within the mili, tary reservations and It is tbs only non-mllitary organization that ia per- mitted on these gronods. At the training camps and right up to the firing line the Y. M. C. A. has established posts and put up buildings or tents. These pieces are fitted with writing material and desks, reading tables with books and magazines, piano, phonograph, moving picture machine and everything that will go to help the men who are off ring their service and life for tbe country. These places give the men a good moral can ter in which to meet for social and athletic activities which cannot be bad otherwise and unless so provided the men will find others less desirable. In this movement Oregon bas been asked to give $42,000. Umatilla county was apportioned $4,000 and in turn Hermiston and country adjoining $120. It is important that tbe money be given at once that immediate results may be bad. There is a county com mittee and each community hasa local committee. The Hermiston com- mittee consists of F R. Reeves, F. H. Swayze, Mrs. Todd, E. L. Jackton and Paul S. Jones. A meeting will be held this evening to formulate tbe best plan for securing our share and it is hoped a ready response will meet the committee’s efforts. Those from out of town at Thurs day’s meeting were Mr. Dillon, field secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Judge Phelps, Judge Lowell, Rev. Gornell and L. L. Mann and from here they went to Stanfield and Echo. War Census Dav—Tuesday, June 5, as named by President Wilson in bis official proclamation.
