You're too young to go into the army line, but I'm mighty proud to see ycu go into the hoeing line. You're a "soldier of the 9oil," and by working on the farm you can produce every day food sufficient to feed four soldiers. It is not an easy job to tackle no easier than mine. It tests your mettle the same as ours will be tested in the trenches. But the work you do on the! farm as a member of the United States Boys' Working Re serve is just as important as ours, and I'm glad to go to the front because I know you will fight just as hard at home to give us food as we will in the trenches. Solotig! GojJ luck and STICK i The U. S. Boys' Working Reserve wrw organized by the Government as a part of the U. S. Employ ment Service, Department of Labor, to mobilize the boy power of the nation. Because the farms needed help, the Boys' Working Reserve has confined its efforts chiefly to sending young rm-n workers to the farms. At least a quarter million Reserve boys will take part in farming operations this summer. Many of th e young men have been trained in the rudi ments of fanning in high school courses and in train ing camps established under the auspices of the Reserve in many states. The Buys' Working Reserve is dedicated to the task of making a producer out of every physi cally fit boy who is not employed or La in a uon-useful occupation.

THIS ADVERTISEMENT CONTRIBUTED TO THE WINNING OF THE WAR LY I UK IIOOI) RIVER Gl ACIKR A War Time Sweeteners MERICA has several excellent war time sweet eners that will be used largely during the shortage in the sugar supply. They are maple sugar, syrups, honey and molasses and mav be lined in preparing des serts and other dishes requiring sweetening. When a cup of syrup or honey is used to replace a cup of sugar the liquid in the recipes should be decreased one-fourth. One-third of a cupful of sugar is equivalent to one-third of a cup of honey, about one- half cup of syrup and about one-half cup of corn sugar. One-fourth of a cup of sugar is equal to about one-half cup of syrup or one-third cup of corn sugar. One table spoon of sugar is equal to one tablespoon of honey, about one and one-half tablespoons of syrup and one and one third tablespoons of corn sugar. Sugar may be saved by the use of raisins, dates, figs, dried pears and fruit pastes used on the breakfast cereals. Fruit marmalades, butters and jellies should be used to take the place of the ordinary sweetening at a meal and not as accessories to it. Fruits may be preserved without sugar. It may be added when sugar is more plentiful. Preserving demands this year a thin syrup instead of a heavy syrup. If sugar is used one-half of the amount may be replaced by another sweetener. Drying is a means of preserving (without sugar) ap ples, cherries, strawberries and black caps. When ready to use they may have added the needed sugar in the form of a syrup. When sugar is more plentiful fruit juices may be made into jellies or may be used as fruit juices with or without sugar, as beverages, fruit gelatins and frozen desserts. Fresh fruits supply the place of sugar in the diet. They should be used freely. Desserts where sugar is scarce may be made of gelatins, junkets, custards; puddings and cakes.

Hundreds of t.ttle U.ys and left , pr liy the great war without ( aietus. are being adopted by contingents of Amer ican troops. t'ne balloon company bas adopted six of the youiisters, and Mr. Lauteriiach's company of engineers has appropriated a part of their pav tor the maintenance and ejucation of an other half dozen of the homeless wail's. Mr. Lauterbach sent his mother a copv of "I'he Mars and Stripes. " the official organ of the expeditionary forces, containing the fallowing article on adoption of orphans: "the balloorusts were flying high again this week. The atmor-pheie was clear and the orphan visibility excel lent. "The officers of one balloon squad ron, already materially represented by I the enlisted men, requested one or ' phaned child of France to father for a ' year, and a balUm company sent in ';i,(NXi francs for six. Yep, six :snd 1 it's a record. In fact, the nervy np i pendants of the saige.-, by th ir l.b- eral adoptions this week, bloke two I records. "First, they take all honors for the I largest number of child mascots ad pt I ed hy a single unit of the size of a i company, squadron, detachment and the like. A few infantry companies ; and aero squadrons are fathering five, I orphans, but the Halloon companv, i formerly Companv A. Balloon Squad ron, of A. K O. 711, is the first to' take six. And, as the strength of a balloon company is much less than that of a company of infantry, for intsance, the individual contribution was propor tionately heavy. It was equivalent to a good day's nay in the I'. S. A. avant al guerre and several das ' pay in the army. "Second, the halloon service, as a whole, by virtue of this week's adop tion, leads all the other mam branches of the A. K. F. in the number of chil dren adopted in proportion to its mem bership. " the roll of Stars and Stripes par rains contains the names of children who will Le supported for a year by the balloon men. ' 'There isn't anybody named Rock efeller or Carnegie or Morgan on our rolls who might have played the an gel,' wrote the spokesman for the bal loon eompaii. 'The deal has been financed by nobody except a crowd of average (which means, of course, high class) aye ee etl'ers, but just the same we sol the record for the ave ee eft'. " 'We're not at all fussy about the ages, names or color of the six adopted children. The only specifications we make are that thev shall be split fill-oil - three boys and three girls and that their names shan't he too dilficult, be cause we have a mascots now two diminutive F'rench foxes captured somewhere in the wilds of the S. ( ). S. and they are going to be honored by being named after two of our young sters. Of course, we cun't name a fox Lucille Cecilia Madeline or (iaston Claude St. Cyr. Something short ami snappy is whatjwe want.' "Outside of the activities of the air men, it was a quiet week for the or phans -- numerically, at least. The adoptions numbered 11, which ran the total of the A. K. F. family of mas cots up to H70. Put there were a couple of adoptions out of the ordin ary. " 'Enclosed,' said Company A,- Kn (iineers, in a brief, penciled note, 'is 1,00(1 francs for the care of two French orphans. This in being sent just on the eve of our entrance into battle ; we will write more in detail later.' "Another fortunate little child gained a very distinguished godfather. He was given the Croix do Guerre for heroic work in an American ambulance unit at Verdun, and he won the l. S. C. a few weeks ago when, although wounded, a shell had wrecked ambulance, and later gassed, be re fused to stop his work of succoring the wounded. He was in the hospital and received the decoration a few days ago and, just to observe the occasion, con tributed MM) francs for un orphan.

Fi nest who has been at Mare Island-navy y aril training as a marine for the past year, who announces his transfer to tuantieo, V'a., where he will train with an aero squadron. Mr. Samuel is a corporal. He was in charge of one of the 17 carloads of marines moved across the continent at one t ime. "The people at treated us royally lit I, "and we fen.-vegetables." all points en route " writes Cpi. Sam teil oil' fruits and Lawrence Schetky parents, ilr. and Mrs. w rites ' hid he in a letter to his G. L. Schetky, now in active service- in patrol duty in European waters. The day following his graduation from Annapolis the yennc otticer was mar ried, in the Naval Academy chapel, to Miss Ethcljaiie Mcllonaid, a school mate of the high school. Mrs. Schetky is residing now at Providence, L. 1. Ensign Schetky has two brothers in tlie sorv n e, Lionel and P.eriuml Schet ky, holh in the aviation corps. Lionel Schetky is in France. Henry Llagg and Koselle Crone, son a:id adopted son of Mr. and Mrs. F'. II. Hhtgg, are both in service in France. The former is with the ;!t)th Engineers, known as the Gas and Flame unit, while the latter is a member of (loth Artillery legimeut. In a letter home Herny Blagg stales that the big guns and a i most constant air lights furnish plenty of diversion. He is in charge of a contingent of men near the front line trenches. An oltler brother, Roy Samuel, also a corporal, remains at Mare Island. "If I live to get back home," writes Will Parker to his mother, Mrs. Will iam Parker, "the sights that I have already seen are more than enough to repay mo for what ever sacrifice 1 may have made for leaving home. New York harbor at night was one of the greatest sights 1 ever saw in my life." Young Parker is now w ith the expe ditionary forces in France. "If you could just see these Ameri cans get at the squareheads," writes Lee Spaudling from a hospital bed in France1 to Fred Coshovv, "you would not have any doubts as to the outcome oft his war." Young Spaulding, a corporal of ma rines, states in his letter that a ma chine gun bullet passe-d squarely through one of his knees on June (i, when the marineR were stemming the German tide at Chateau Thierry. "I do not suppose any of you folks have any doubts," says the wounded marine, "but it would make you feel good to see whut low down cowards they are. The marines sure did make them feel sick for a while. "The worst time for a siddier is when he is on his hack waiting to get better. Two operations have been per formed on my knee hut they have been unable to locate the bullet. 1 judge this is why it has been si painful. 1 have been lying flat on my back w ith my foot and leg strung up in the air in a sort of splint. They have U, keep the wound open. 1 have found some thing to divide my attention, though. I have discovered some new hones in my back which are shaped very mu.-h like hutcherknives. 1 like to figure out how long it is going to take them to cut through the mattress. We have the best of nurses and doctors." In a letter to his mother, Mrs. C. I Ross, of Portland, last wek, Kniiy Ross, formerly a local boy, told of the death of a cornri.rle, Fred Merrill, of I'ortland. Mr. Ross, now a sergeant, wrote : "Mother, 1 want' you to do a favor for me. l'lease call Mr. t ied T. Mer. nil and tell him that his son, Sgt. Fred T. Merrill, was Jkllled in action light ing for his country like a hero, fell him I was with his son until the end and ask him to accept my deepest! riiiinuiy lor uie great loi-s. 1 cried, mother, all day after it happened. Of course the government will let them know, but you tell tnem thai Fred and I were together practically all the time." IKirby Ross and Fred Merrill lad been lifelong friends and both enlisted from J'ortland in Co. U, ltii!d Infantry. They arrived in France eight montt s ago and were tl ansferi ed to Co M ' 2od Infantry, a regiment of picked marksmen. No date of the bov's death can be ascertained from the lm.rl from young Ross.
