F. C. BAKER, Publisher. Editorial Snap Shots. 1 he" suit case business” is getting to be a dangerous occupation. Some of the suit cases seem to be getting under the X-Ray, and instead of be­ ing packed full of clothes, they are filled up with booze. No one should take any objections to honest criticism, especially those who are employed by the government to p. jsccute the war. Anyone coming from the East, who are not accustom­ ed to the West, are sure to make some mistakes, and we think it perfectly proper for newspapers and the public to criticise these mistakes. ------ o------ If the war continues, and there is cv ry indication that it will for sever­ al years, Tillamook county will be combed for spruce timber for the gov­ ernment, every effort should be made to hardsurfacc the road south of Till­ amook City. This would save the ex­ pense of putting in a logging road and would give quick transportation to those who are getting out rived spruce From the looks of things the rived spruce industry in Tillamook county will grow to large proportions. The government has commandeer­ ed all spruce and saw mills in the states of Washington and Oregon and established eight hours as a day’s work for men employed in saw mills. This may satisfy labor and will no doubt prevent further labor troubles, but to most of us in this neck of the woods, when there is such a demand for spruce and ship timbers, it must of necessity reduce the output and cause serious delay to those building ships. There has been more or less delay in obtaining timbers for the vessel now building in Tillamook, and it is hoped that in confining mills to eight hours it will not cause further delay. ——o — We suppose every man with a team will want $10.00 a day in future. The county was paying $6.00 but when the government offered $10.00 a day to haul rived spruce, men with _ teams quit their $t>.oo a day jobs for $10.00. With these conditions confronting the County Court there is not much pros­ pect of any extensive road work be­ ing conducted this year. We are not very much in favor of Hooverizing on road work, but when it comes to having to pay $10,00 a day for man and team, we arc enclined to think it is the best of economy to keep the road money in the banks until such time as road work can be done at a reasonable figure. These arc two things that can never harmonize, the government's eight hour policy and the Under­ wood Tariff law. And they arc going to cause much friction after the war is over. For it is impossible to pay big wages and have short hours at work when merchandise, manufactured in Japan and European countries, with cheap labor, are allowed to be dump­ ed into the United States free of du­ ty. We look for labor trouble and all kinds of trouble when the war is over before affairs get back to normal conditions. There is one thing that we object to in the eight hour system that is part of the working classes are privileged while another part are ig­ nored ------ O------ This is one on the Food Administra­ tion, with a bit if Irish added. It has issued an edict that lamb and mutton may be eaten on meatless days until the 15th of April when tl| Irish joke will cease. W ill someone please en­ lighten the snap shot man on meatless days, because he lias got twisted around wondcrinng how he can ob­ serve .1 meatless day when he is al­ lowed to eat lamb or mutton. Have we been mistaken all these years be­ lieving that lamb and mutton is meat. Perhaps Attorney McGrath, the Food administrator for Tillamook county, can explain how it is possible to have a meatless day ami eat lamb and mut­ tion. That is too much of a problem for us to solve, so we hand it up to him. l’robably, too, he can tell us how we can have a boozeless day when one is permitted to drink whiskey. ------ o------ On Friday Frank A. Rowe, of Wheeler, who is manager for Tilla- mo< k County for the next Liberty Loan Drive, met with Frank laylor ami D. 1.. Slirode at the court house, and discussed the best plans to be ad­ opted so as to make it a success. The county was divided into four districts as follows: Cloverdale, coming as far North as Pleasant \ alley. Tillamook tlnn takes the territory from there north to Kilchis river, whet. Bay City coin« - next and extends to Manhattan and Wheeler taking the whole of the Nehalem \ alley. l>r. H. E. Rinehart has charge of the Wheeler district, John Nelson of the Bay City district. D. L. Shrode of lite Tillamook dis­ trict and Frank Tavlor the Cloverdale district. It is going to take consider­ able hustling by those who have charge of the drive, for the amount to be raised will be somewhere near $--00,000. ------ o------ The necessity of a military road through the county is seen right now, notwithstanding there is no fighting or movement of troops along the cost. On account of so much handling in getaing out rived spruce some ot tile roads in the county are being cut up badly, especially the Miami and the Foly roads, which all go to prove the urgent necessity of a hard surfac­ ed road through the entire length of the county. Suppose there had been a hard surtaced road through the coun­ ty, it would have added greatly to tin facilities of getting out spruce for the government. It is going to cost the county many thousand dollars to fix up the roads that are now being cut up, and it is no more than right that the government should help keep them up. It was fortunate, when an effort was made last spring, that the dairymen did not take up the proposition of starting condensed milk factories in this county. The proposition to do so looked tempting, because it seemed at that time there was a little better prospect of disposing of condensed milk than cheese. Not so, however. The Tillamook dairymen were wise in staying with the cheese and it is wise to do so in the future because of the wide spread reputation of 'Tilla­ mook cheese. The situation with the condensed milk factories is most ser­ ious for the demand has fell off and there is an enormous supply on hand, with dairymen unpaid for their milk. No doubt this will force the condens­ ed milk factories to revert to cheese and buter making right away, and this will have a tendency to place a large supply of cliesee on the mar­ ket, but having obtained such a repu­ tation, maybe it will not effect the price to any considerable extent. It may do so however, and in that event it should not scare our dairymen. The date of the next Liberty Bond drive has been finally settled, which will begin 011 April 6tli. The quota, no doubt for Tillamook county, will be double that of the last Liberty Band drive. Therefore it is necessary for the people of this county to begin making preparations to meet what is demanded. To buy a Liberty Bond is helping the government prosecute the war as well as that amount of' money saved and bearing interest, so when the Liberty Bond "drivers” button­ hole you to buy a Liberty Bond, do so gladly and heartily. If everybody will do their best it will be no trouble to sell $200,000 liberty bonds in this county, but there will have to be a whole lot of our citizens who will have to take $t,000.00 or $500.00. Those who have the money or who can obtain it, should be glad to help the government. So between now and the 6th of zXpril gather together as much ‘dough" and come up smiling and without any solicitation to those who manage the drive and be amongst the first to buy bonds. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to aspire for $100,000 the first day of the drive. One very remarkable incident in connection with the war came to light last week. It was a telegram from the German Imperial Chancellor to the Ambassador in France, and the date was July 31, 1914, which shows plainly that Germany forced the war on France. This is what the French Foreign Minister says: “On that day V on Schoen (German Ambassador to France) was charged by a telegram from his Chancellor to notify us of a state of danger of war w ith Russia and to ask us to remain neutral, giving us 18 hours in which to reply. W hat was unknown until today was that the telegram of the German Chancellor containing these instruc­ tions terminated with these words: “’If the French government de­ clares it will remain neutral, Your Excellency w ill be good enough to de­ clare that we must, as a guarantee to its neutrality, require the handing over z>f the fortresses of Foul and Verdun; that we will occupy them and we will restore them after the end of the war with Russia. A reply to the last question must reach here before Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock." It was a direct ultimatum to France and a declaration of war. It is well known to every unbiased person that France did not want war, but this goes to prove that it was Germany who forced this horrible war not only on Fiance but on the whole world. Red Cross Notes. Mrs. C. I. Edwards, president of the '1'illamook branch of the Portland Red Cross, has written to Mrs. Wil­ son, wile ot the President, requesting that she change the name of the ves­ sel now building in Portland, which she had named " Tillamook," and al­ low the vessel building on the bay to be named "Tillamook". Is has been suggested that a contest be arranged, the funds going to the Red Cross, for the most popular lady in Tillamook to christen the vessel. The regular monthly meeting of the Red Cross will occur in the City Hall next Tuesday evening, March 12. at 7:30 p.m.. Many matters of im­ portance concerning the management of the organization will be discussed. V good attendance is solicited. ------ o Only a few magazines have been of­ fered for the soldiers at Garibaldi. Can we not leave a large number at the Coast Power Co. office soon?

'____ ------------------------------------X* County Association Meeting. o------ At the regular directors meeting of the Tillamock County Creamery As­ sociation held in Tillamook, Monday, twenty directors were present, two absent. $1,750.00 was appropriated for an advertising campaign in Los Angeles. Carl Haberlach was elected secre­ tary-salesman at a salary of l-ioc. the lb. cheese produced end $15.00 per year per factory. F. W.

All factories in the county having the required amount of milk (300,000 tbs. per year) are now members of the association. It was decided to exhibit more free­ ly in the various State :.nd other fairs in the West, as most valuable adver­ tising may be had at little cost . Papers were read showing failures of several condensors in Oregon and the farmers congratulate.' themselves that they had not taken hold of a con­ denser proposition here. “Pride of New York,” at Gem. ------ o------ Are you a rich man? Are you a poor man? What ever is your station in life you will enjoy seeing George Walsh in his latest William Fox pic­ ture “The Pride of New York,” which will be shown at the Gem Theatre on Thursday, March 15. If you are a rich man and have a son you may profit by seeing this phetodrama. It may bring you a relization that perhaps you have not looked after that son and guided him as you should have. Perhaps he lacks industry. Perhaps his aim in life is merely to spend your money. If you are a poor man and have a son that is industrious who is work­ ing hard to better himself, you will like this picture because it shows that he has a chance especially in Uncle Sam’s army, which in a measure is a leveler of human beings. George W alsh shows what an ener­ getic American youth can do in the ranks of the new army, and he shows also how hard an industrious young fellow can work and enjoy it. George does some hair raising stunts that will thrill even an ironworker who does dangerous stunts himself. The picture was directed by R. A. W alsh, George’s brother who made such big pictures as ‘The Honor Sys­ tem,” "The Conqueror," and “Betray­ ed", His battle scene in the “Pride of New York” are certainly thrillers. In Memoriam. Mr. John Purcell, the subject of this sketch, first saw the light of day on the Emerald Isle in the year 1872 When a young man of 20 years he bid farewell to Freshford, the town of his birth, and ventured to face the storms of life in our fair land of liber­ ty. As early as 1803 he led Miss Ellen I one to the Nuptial Altar. This union was blessed with six children, all sur­ viving the deceased; Mrs. Collins, of Canada; William Purcell, Mrs. Dave Fitzpatrick, Miss Nellie Purcell, Mrs. Frank Tone, of Tillamook; Mr. John Purcell, of Hoquiam, Wash, also 25 grand children and one great grand child. His wife dying 26 years ago. To Oregon Mr. Purcell gave the last twenty six years of his life. As we scan the open pages of the lite of the deceased we are forced to remark that the tides of time, rolling through centuries will blot out many a name but the rust of ages will not eat through the golden letters in which his noble ht\ has been written, lie stood forth, “Like some tall cliff that lifts its aw ful form, swells from the vale, and midway leaves the "storm.” Proverbal philosophy tells 11s, "That he did walk in happiness, and sorrow was a stranger to his soul; The light of affection sunned his heart, the tear of the grateful bedewed his feet, He put his hand with consistency to good and angels knew him as a brother. He Used his wealth as a wise stewart making him friends for fu­ turity, He bent his learning to reli­ gion and religion was with him to the last, For I saw him after many days w hen the time of his release w as come ■And I longed for a congregated world to behold that dying saint.

His loved ones followed the earthly remains of a Father to their last rest­ ing place and tenderly entrusted them to Mother Earth in Sacred Heart Cemetery. To them who are left to mourn the bitter loss, we quote from the lips of Saint Ambrose; "We have loved him during life; let us not abandon him until we have conducted him by our prayers into the House of the Lord.” $14,020. —WSS— The Oregon Junior Rainbow Reg­ iment now numbers over 500 pupils, each one of whom has sold War Sav­ ings Stamps to the value of $?° or more.

In fact these pictures are the real thing and by alt odds, say reviewers, they are the greatest war pictures that have ever been made and the most sensational that have ever been exhibited. The terror and excitement of the colossal struggle with 011c army of million., driving another before it, bring to your realization probably for the firct time just what modern war­ fare really means. "The Retreat of the Germans at the Battle of Arras” is already familiar because of cable reports and Govern­ ment dispatches, to every American who realizes that sooner or later he is to become a direct part of the great war for democracy. The heroism of the British forces, the gallantry of the French, the wonderful work of the undaunted Belgium, in fact, the mar­ velous test of strength and courage of every soldier on the western battle front is so vividly portrayed that frequently during the display of the pictures the audience rises and cheers the gun crew of a monster howitzer or the gallant charge of this or that regiment, the allied horde sticking to their guns in the fac of gas attack and their guns in the face of gas attach and retreat of the Germans at Arras un­ reel before you the gigantic struggle from way back of the lines, where are located the hospitals, the supplies, the ammunition stores and the re­ serves, to the retrat from one line of trenches to another of the vanquish­ ed.

The present world w ar has already cost over $100- 000,000,000. 1 hose of us in America who feel that we have felt the pinch of war should remember that for ev­ ery dollar we have spent for war pur­ poses (including loans to our allies). Great Britian has spent $7.00, France, $5,00, an Germany $6.00. Nor should it be forgotten that both our popula­ tion and national wealth greatly ex­ ceed those of any of the three. We can well afford to save and lend if the llun hordes are to be kept from despoiling our nation. — WSS— The state wide, house to house thrift campaign has been postponed* from the week of March 5 to March 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23.

To God above I prayed a prayer a prayer for all the human race, a pray­ er that mankind everywhere might feel and know his loving grace; bUf as I prayed a bursting shell came with it whizzing sputtering din and turned a peaceful home to hell, and slew the innocents within. 1 saw the ravishing conquering Huns defile the homes where mothers prayed; 1 saw the kaiser’s murderous gun go by in ,\r. 111.uncut parade. 1 saw the tyrant rul­ ers ride upon the wounded and the dead. 1 saw the sisters crucified and singing streams run crimcon red—sj in the wild unholy glare of war 0 God, what use is prayer. 1 prayed for Belgium's sacred homes, that Prussian might would not prevail, prayed that her grand cathed­ ral domes might still withstand the leaden hail. Prayed for her daughters young and pure her mothers and her aged men; prayed that war might not endure, and as I prayed there came again the cruel “kultured” German horde with keen barbaric love for blood, and put th* innocent to sword to rot in Belgian bleed-stained mud. I saw the kaiser’s tyrant crown gleam in the blood-stained setting sun; I saw our gallant ship go down, our loved ones slaughtered one by one. And 1 watched them perish there cried: “O, God. what use is prayer.” There’s just one prayer that wil prevail—the prayer of power and lead our duty lies where mothers whail above their babes, their sacred dead. I cannot longer pray to God to end this carnage and the strife, for war’s a road the world has trod and peace lies where the shell are rife. No pray­ er will end the kaiser’s reign—God means that we should fight and slay. No prayer will end the binding chains which holds a world enslaved today. God never meant our prayers for war.
