HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, SATURDAY, JULY 6. 1918 VOL. XII STATES COAL SUPPLY MAY BE I Fuel coal particularly, that now looks to Oregon and Washington for markets will undoubtedly be diverted east in an effort to overcome toa degree the estimated national 85,000,* 000 ton deficiency., This is the opinion of Fuel Adminis- trator Holmes of Oregon based on in- formation from Washington and his knowledge of local conditions. The recent visit of national fuel ad- ministration officials to the Pacific Northwest presages the enforcement of a “fuel ration” order. This is in dicated by the fact that Holmes al- ready is making a survey of the state to ascertain the needs of the various districts. In this regard Holmes states that he plans to allow house holders to order fuel, both wood and coal, In unlimited quantities just so long as possible. When necessity de- mands, however, he will curtail sup plies, holding that national needs are superior to those of individuals or of industry not essential to winning the war. _____ HAD FUNNY FEELING AFTER BEE STUNG HIM KAISER ON A VISIT TO BRUGGE, FLANDERS * 39 I ■ s 3; FOURTH OF JULY WAS SANELY CELEBRATED An account of bow soldiers are fed at sea is given thusly io the daily newspaper published on one of Uncle Sam’s transports: “Outside of providing 210,000 meals at sea, the mess officer of the ship has very little to do—very little. He is called upon to provide, by the regula- lations, 180 different varieties of food. That’s all. Ever try to order 180 things to eat? Yet this is the authentic list. “The food needed to feed several thousand men at sea ranges beyond th • glutton’s dream. You get the answer in the ship down below the water line, where 7290 loaves of bread have been baked in one day, and where you stum ble over every variety, from 60,000 pounds of beef to 133,000 eggs, or a compartment of brick ice cream in a ten degrees above zero vault. And if this doesn’t suit, you can bump along into 49,324 pounds of potatoes, 7100 pounds of bam and bacon, 7800 pounds of butter, 9200 pounds of sugar and 61,- 500 pounds of flour. “If you can’t get a meal out of that you can still fall back on 4600 pounds of sausage, 3400 pounds of sauerkraut, 26,000 pounds of apples, 19,800 pounds of oranges and 4200 pounds of onions. And this leaves out 1600 pounds of jam and 9400 pounds of lima and navy beans.” Picnics, reunions and family gather ings marked the celebration of Inde, pendence Day locally this year, and the noisy firecracker was for once > noticeable by its absence. Early Thursday morning a large caravan composed of people from town and country with well tilled baskets began moving toward the picnic ground on the Umatilla river west of this city, where all who participated had a most excellent time. Pioneers of Jefferson county resid ing on the project went to Stanfield, where Jefferson county people from all over this county assembled for the holding of a grand reunion while cele International Film Service brating the Fourth.

DO YOUR SHARE IN PURCHASE OF W.S.S The chairman of the War Savings Stamps committee hopes to avoid the necessity of making a house to house drive to get our quota of war savings certificates subscribed, but the people here must not assume that we havu reached our share in this allotment. We are far short of our per capita subscription and it will be necessiry for those who have not purchased the ir quota to plan on doing so during the next six months. It should not be necessary to urge the people that this full amount of $20.00 per capita must be taken care of here Unless we have provided for this pat.iotic par- ticipation in our government war needs we should early see to it that we are duly registered now.
