I TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. FEBRUARY 21, 1918/ WITH THE EDITORS Discuss Questions of Interest to People.

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. ------o------ 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 trigger Register. —o----- 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. ----- 0------ 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. ------o------ 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.

It is to remedy this situation that Mr. Hawley is still negotiating in the 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. —Oregon Register. (By Charley L. Gant.) Just cheese that Sammy business please, our boys are not that kind of mutts, we're sending you beyond the seas, the. fellow known as "Upper Cuts." The boys with sinew, brawn and brain, who never fear to face the Hun,—we’re sending to the field of pain the bravest lads beneath the sun.

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.
