Discuss Questions of
Interest to People.
Profiteering and hoarding of food

eceive the same punishment as resis

times.- The Sentinel.

The State Misquito Extermination
Association, of New Jersey, at its
fifth annual meeting recently discuss
ed plans to combat New Jersey’s con
stant menace. The meeting was open
ed with th. song: “Huns may come
and Hun - may go but the ’skeeter is
with us forever." Fortunate Oregon.
Are you not glad to be here.—News
Reporter.

The patriotism of the little fellow is
going to have a chance. Under the
regulations for the next draft, well-
proportioned men four feet and ten
inches in height and not over a hun
dred pounds in weight will be taken.
And why not? Short and thin men are
not ;c
so e; easily hit as tall and broad
ones, while they can aim and pull the
as accurately.—Telephone

Register.

The proposal to change the name of
the "German measels” now epidemic
in various parts of the country to
"Libei ty measels has a patriotic
sound. We don’t want our people to
be captured by anything German. At
the same time measels is a scourge
and for that reason fits in very well
with the word German. "Liberty”
doesn’t harmonize acceptably with
measels, smallpox or any other repul
sive ailment.—Telephone Register.

Thrift is a habit. Like all habits, its
easy to acquire. Just buy a Thrift
stamp every day, or every day you
can, and you’ll soon have the habit.
Then you'll be lending your savings
to Uncle Sam for the sake of the boy
"over there”. You’ll be helping to
win the war, and Uncle Sam will pay
you 4 per cent interest, compounded
quarterly, until a time when you’ll
need it more than he docs. Can you
beat that? —Itemizer.

Observe the meatless and porkless
days, order and cat fish if you arc a
millionaire. Either the fish are more
wary than usual or there is a gang
operating that should be attended to
by the government. We are told to
eat fish and then the price of fish
goes up. We suppose if we were told
to eat roots the price of timber and
logger off lands would go to an un
dreamed of value.—Woodburn Inde-
pindent.

Sheep in Western Oregon. hope of getting a favorable ruling.
The expjeriencc of Jacob Runk, who
cleared $600 in a year from a flock of
33 sheep, is pretty conclusive proof
that Western Oregon is overlooking
an important source of profit. If every
farmer in the Willamette 'valley had
as profitable a flock as Mr. Runk
bank deposits would soon begin to
climb and the wool shortage would be
appreciably lessened
Western Oregon is not naturally
adapted to the sheep industry on a
large scale, as is Eastern Oregon, but
it is well adapted to it on a small scale
—small individually, that is. If every
farm in Western Oregon had on it all
the sheep that it could easily support
it is probable that the sheep industry
of the eastern part of the state would
be surpassed in volume.
Wool and mutton will not always be
as phenomenally high in price as now,
but there will always be a good de
mand, and it is significant that valley
wool commands a considerable prem
ium over the wool produced east of
the mountains. Sheep raising is one of
the staple industries of England, and
England and the Willamette Valley
are remarkably similar in many ways.
Western Oregon is missing an op
portunity by not keeping more sheep.

Methodists claim that verified fig

volunteers, now totalling 411,000, are
Christian Church members. Method
ists say that it is the Christian impuls
that has come to the defense of weak
nations and to the rescue of democ
racy from the Huns. The same Meth
odists are now making studies of
American volunteers to date to ascer
tain what proportion are communi
cants of churches. Bishop Nicholson,
of Chicago, has just made the claim
that it was the Protestant Christian
force in Canada that saved conscrip
tion in the recent dominion vote. He
adds that with such showing there is
no longer need to ask whether the
churches failed when they did not
prevent the war. Quakers of Canada,
of Indiana, Pennsylvania and New-
England are in the ranks of enlisted
men in proportionately large nuni-
bers.
