Let's do it boys! Put Tillamook
county "over the top” the first day of
the next Liberty Bond drive.
No doubt some of the “suit case”
traders in whiskey are on the anxious
seat in Tillamook county, for the fed­
eral authorities will get ’em when it
will land1 them in a federal prison.

The junkers of Germany are drag­

Germany down other nations are be­

war.

We must all admire President Wil­
son’s message to the people of Russia
wucn lie promised them the moral
support of the United States. It was a
message of good cheer to Russia at a
time when the nation is between the
devil and the deep blue sea.

Say, Bro. Trombley, have you notic-

All coming in free of duty under the
free trade laws inflicted on the coun­
try by the Democratic party. Why
not place a duty on them and help
pay some of the expenses of the war?
Now that the government have
taken over the saw mills of Oregon
and W ashington, it is now in order
for the government to make a ruling
that the price of lumber be raised to
meet the extra expenses of the eight
hour day. But what about the poor
devil who has to pay the big prices
for lumber?
Sergeant Keldson informs us that
the Tillamook boys at Fort Columbia
appreciate the Ini-idle of Headlights
we send them every week, and they
scramble for them and feel disap­
pointed if they fail lo arrive on time.
That shows how anxious the boys are
to read the home news. As it affords
them a great deal of pleasure, it is a
pleasure also to us to scad them a
buncle of papers every week.
There is an important measure be­
fore Congress this week that will
make Germany look up and t ike no­
tice. It is to authorize the seizure and
sale of all alien property. This is done
to uproot permanently German com­
mercial influence in the United States
after the war is over, the senate vot­
ing 64 far and o against. Democratic
leader .Martin voiced the sentiment of
the country when he said: "Speaking
for myself, and, 1 think for the Amer­
ican people, if the German people
ever get any
compensation
for
this property, it will be after they have
compensated the American people for
the millions, even billions, of dollars
worth of property they have ruthless­
ly destroyed."
This is a political frame up that will
make the politicians of Tillamook
county look up and take notice. No
one appears to be anxious to run for
the short term for United States Sen-
ator, so. Representative F. A. Rowe
and the editor have trained a deal up
like this. The Headlight is to support
and boost Frank for the position and
the \\ heeler Reporter is to boost the
snap shot man. But here’s the trouble
with the snap shot man, he gets cold
feet directly public office is proposed.
But putting all jokes aside it would
give Tillamook county a little adver-
tising and, further, would give the
county a better standing when it
entile to obtaining harbor improve-
mints. So hire goes. We proposed to
boost Representative F. ,\. Rowe for
United States Senator for the short
term and carry cut our part of the
frame lip..
The German Foreign Office has
made the admission that that country
made a demand on France to turn
over the fortresses of Toul and \ cr-
dun to Germany on the J 1st of July,
4914, and these French fortresses
were to be occupied by a German
army. Vet there
arc many pro­
German., in the United States who
have been reading German 1 nguage
newspapers who say and believe the
allies started the war. It is well
Known that France and England did
not want war and did everything pos­
sible to prevent it, but the very act
shows that it was Germany that was
aching for a war, and when it found
that France refused to turn over her
forts to Germany that country started
what it thought would be a steam
roller and crush France, the Kaiser
predicting that he would cat his next
Christmas dinner in Paris. Place the
L'nitcd States in the same position :.s
France. If Germany had made a de-
maud on this country to turn over
Boston or New York, every man
Jack of us would immediately con-
strue this to mean a pretext to
make a quarrel—bewccn the two
countries. Should Germany win the
war it may be that she will demand
the surrender of some parts of the
United States, for Germany is still im-
bued with he idea that she can lick
the world and crush every nation that
will not do her bidding.
Tillamook County’s quota in the
next Liberty Loan drive will be $198-
000 or somewhere near that figure,
and it is now fairly up to the people
of the county to raise that amount of
money. It must be raised and there
should be no "yellow" streak in any
Tillainooker either. It is a duty every
citizen owes the government to lend
it their financial support in this na­
tional crisis. Hooverize and cut down
expenses as much as possible is a
good way to save money to buy a
Liberty Bond. The snap shot man is
very desirious of giving the patriotic
people of Tillamook County a word
of advice at this time. It is this: Dig
up the county’s quota the first day of
the drive. It can and should be done,
and the way to co so is to go the
limit of your finances, even to bor­
rowing money. Start right now, and
do noi delay until the first day of the
drive, but go to the banks in your
district and mike arrangements with
the bank to take your subscription
right now, and have the bank record
it on the first day of the drive. It will
save considerable time and avoid a
rush during business luurs at the
banks. Now as the amount of Liberty
Bonds that you should buy. Just con­
sider for a few minutes the amount of
money that is to be raised and then
decide to be a real good sport and
plunger. Every dollar put into L’ber-
ty bends is that much money saved,
which will draw inteies.. Now who
will be the first to go to the bank and
make arrangements to bite off some
of that $198,000.
From present indications there is
going to be a lively contest for the
office of ccunty commissioner for the
south end of the county, with probably
half a dozen candidates in the field,
all of whom are advocating better
roads. Up to the present time A. A.
Itnlali, John Weiss Sr., D. A. Bailey,
and Ole B. Redbcrg have announced
their candidacy, and dame rumor says
that Herman Farmer will also be a
candidate, who has proved himself to
be a good road builder by the many
permanant road improvements
he
made in the south pait of the county
whe:; lie was county commissioner.
As the primary law gives everyone
who wishes to threw .heir hats into
the ling the right to do so, it is for
the Republicans of the county to de­
cide which of these *vc::t!ciiicn thty
war.l for ti.cir candidate, and after do­
ing sc. it will be our pie isu.c to not
only support the gentleman v.ho is
nominated
for commissioner, but
every candidate 0:1 the Republican
ticket will have our support. The snap
shot man is well aware of the fact
that he could cut quite a figure in the
primary election if he threw his sup­
port to certain candidates, but we are
not going to do so, for every candi­
date why aspires for public office on
the Republican ticket will receive fair
treatment and get a square deal, nor
will we allow our columns to be used
for mud slinging or to tear down the
characters or reputations of the as­
pirants. We will probably address let­
ters to aspirants for county commis­
sioners to ascertain where they stand
and what they propose to do to hur­
ry up the work of a hard surfaced
highway through the county, l>ut as
that is a matter of public policy and
of vital importance to all sections of
I illamook county, it is perfectly pri p-
er that the voters of the county
should be advised as to the attitude
they will take to bring this to a con-
suniation.
If the contempated bond Is.-ue of
Tillamook County carries, and there
is no reason why it sh mid not, a good
road program is practically assured.
The motley arising under the bond is­
sue augutninled by the yearly road
fund arising from taxation will in a

Washington Ate Hoe Cakes.
There was no wheat shortage in
America when George Washington whs
a wealthy Virginia planter, before the
Revolution, yet that eminent patriot
set an example In the conservation of
flour which citizens of today would do
well to follow, says an exchange.
Wheat Is not essential to a satisfy­
ing men!, the food administrator points
out. Corn is an excellent substitute.
The following excerpt from Irving's
"Life of Washington” Is interesting
now in view of the agitation for a
wheatless diet:
"He was an early riser, often before
daybreak in the winter when the
nights were long. He breakfasted at
seven In summer, at eight in winter.
Two small cups of tea nnd three or
four cakes of Indian meal (called hoe
cakes) formed his frugal repast.”
It is said that, even la the days of
plenty, big spreads were an Infrequent
occurrence In the Washington home.
Lesson In Thorough Bass.
The use of the word "stuff" in the
president’s Thanksgiving proclama­
tion, comments the Brooklyn Engle,
furnishes the discord needed to empha­
size the harmony of the flowing rhe­
toric. In effect the president says "We
are the stuff." If our enemies twist
it we shall not care. James G, Blaine
was called the "plumed knight" by In­
gersoll, nnd it passed for a tine com­
pliment. but Blaine thought It suggest­
ed the "white feather.” If the presi­
dent thinks his boys are the stuff, we
shall all agree with him. Here’s where
the kaiser gets a lesson in thorough

He looked at his wrist watch.
“Will you marry me?" he said. She
blushed.
“There is really no time to lose. You
see, I have only 24 hours’ notice. I
must report at headquarters tomorrow
at nine. We sail for France in three
days. Will you marry me?”
“I don't mind,” she said. “Only—I
should like to make one condition,”
"And this is?”
"I have dreamed for years of get­
ting married; but not In this way.
But I will marry you if—when you re­
