Physical exhaustion is going to play an important part in the outcome of the war, for it is now a life and death struggle. The people of Tillamook County have the true patriotic spirit. Watch ’em go over the top in the Liberty Loan drive next Saturday. There’s nothing small about Tillamook, only its small number of citizens for so large a county, but they get there just the same. It is a good thing that Oregon is "dry”, for in these exciting times, with plenty of money in circulation, there would be considerable spent for booze. This would lead to trouble and bring about disturbance, is generally admitted. It is fortunate that Oregon to 1____ amount __ ... . of e money is "dry", for .. a large that would ' ' ' have gone over the bar will now go into Liberty Bonds. Sv If our citizens would use the same amount of energy in rounding up the ’ I. VV. \V. as they did the pro-German 1 who made disrespectful remarks ’ about U. S. soldiers, there would not be any member of that pro-German organization in this county. When you read or hear about.I. W .W. members being in the county you can bet that they are out and out pro Germans. ------ o------ It is reported that of all the coun- tics, outside of Multnomah, more complaints have reached Portland about disloyal Tillamook citizens than any other county in the state, This docs not mean that we have more disloyal citizens in this county, but we take it that Tillamook people have been more active in reporting the disloyal remarks of those who arc in sympathy with Germany. , ------ o------ The German general staff predicted that the German army would be in Paris tbe 1st of April. But, alas, hun dreds of thousands of German sol diers have entered the silent city of the dead, as a result of a desperate rush to reach Paris by that date. Most of us remember that the Kaiser pre dicted that he would have his Christ* mas dinner in Paris in 1914, so he and Idle German general ■ aff must be aw- fully fooled'. There is conscription in England and Scotland, but not in Ireland, There is conscription in the United States and Canada, but the political leaders object to conscription in Ire land to help win the war. When Irish political leaders come to the I nited States to solicit money to help old Ireland, they should be given the cold shoulder. True Irishmen are fight ing in France, but not the politicians who arc in Ireland opposing con scription. Hundreds of thousands of boys from the United Stales are now in France, fighting for the cause of liberty, not so, however with Ireland, for the political agitators of the Em erald Isle not only oppose the war but oppose conscription and are doing their best to prevent Irishmen from taking part in it. It is to be hoped that the people of the L nited States will not overlook these facts, Ireland be- longs to the slackers and is in the lacker class. ------ o------ It is estimated that 5000 young calves will be killed in Tillamook county this year, as soon as they are born. Some persons look upon this as a waste and think that the young stock should be raised. At first sight it docs look a waste to kill 5©°° young calves when there is a short age of meat and which is liable to be come shorter. It has been suggested that the calves be raised until they arc ten days old and the meat canned. That looks to be a good sensible ar gument, but when one takes into con sideration that nearly all the calves suitable to be raised for beef are now shipped out of the county, this will leave the small Jersey calves, which would not produce much meat for canning purposes. No one will buy them, the only value being in their skins. As it is unprofitable for dairy- lves, and there is no men to raise calves, law to compel them to do so, we sec no prospects, or financial profit in it at the present time. Next Saturday Tillamook County is going over the top in the Liberty Loan Drive. We haven't the least doubt of it. And over tile top tbe first day with a big percent above its quota, is our prediction, for the loyal citizens of Tillamook county arc just anxious to do their bit and do it the first day of the drive. It is not neces- sary for us to advise the citizens,, or make a long plea in behalf of the l.ib- erty Loan, for most of them arc intel ligently informed why the govern ment is calling for a third loan. To put it as briefly as possible, it is to help win the war, and when our boys in France go over the top, as no doubt they will do so in a day or two, let’s do the same at home next Satur day and go over the top with the Liberty Loan drive. And then this is announced next Saturday night, we Tillamookers will feel we have helped win a victory over Kaiser Bill and the pro-Germans in the United States. Are you going to be one of the heroes who will go over the top on Saturday in Tillamook County? Sure you are. ------ o------ What counts now in France is man power, especially at this critical stage of the war. True the United States can raise millions of men, but what’s the use of a large artuy*on paper at a time when the army is wanted and wanted badly, on tbe fighting line in France. This goes to prove the falacy of those, who opposed preparedness and did everything they possibly could to place the United States in a predicament, especially as it was seen that it was only a question of time when the United States would be at war with Germany. If it hadn’t been for these blind, leaders of the blind the United States would be better pre pared when it lined up with the allies. A large number of our citizens see what an important part the I nited States would now play 011 the West ern front if it had 2,000,000 men in France today. As we view the situa tion it would bring the war to a speedy 1 nil. The delay in sending a larger army to France will, no doubt, delay tbe time when Germany will sue for peace, for that is what she will have to do. W e have no doubt about that, but college professors and oth ers who opposed preparedness are re sponsible for the small American army now in France when there should have been at least 2,000.000 men armed with all the best and most deadly implements of. warfare, to wipe out the Kaiser and his crew of junkers, with all their barbarity, and inhuman methods of warfare. it is a disgrace that the Life Saving station at Bar \ iew is deprived of a motor boat. It certainly appears to the most of us that the government is too slow and some of the officials at \\ ashington need jacking up. \\ hat s th« use anyway, maintaining a life saving station and then fail to pro vide it with a proper vessel? 1 hat is not all. It is an injustice to the life saving crew and places their lives in jeopardy when they are called upon to face a furious storm. ------ o------ I here are two things that should be done to help conserve food food. One is to suspend the fish law and al low people to fish whenever they have a mind to, and the other is to prohibit the use of barley and other grains used in the manufacture of in toxicating liquors. A run of smelt in the Sandy river last week provided an abundance of fish food, and the fish ing law was suspended so the people It is not surprising that citizens os’ could fish. That being a precedent, we German descent should be looked up don't see why people cannot be al on with more or less suspicion, , tor lowed to fish at all seasons of the the reason that the w hole of the/1 nit year in this county during the dura ed States is honeycombed with Ger tion of the war. man spies, with pro-Germans who —o — have endeavored to sow the seeds of It is just as well to admit that the disloyalty in the United States, and • -.-ation in France is of a serious na- with pro-Germans who have used '• • Germans with a reckless | dynamite to destroy property and kill \S, have penetrated nearly large numbers of citizens. W ith these \ the British lines, and if conditions confronting the country, it is only natural that all citizens of German extraction should be closely watched. Kaiserism is found in every part of the United States, and paid emissaries are doing their best, through the I. \\. \\. s and socialists parties, to cause friction and discon tent amongst the workmen of this country, had England, France, Italy or Japan, done what the Kaiser did, and the» United States was at war with cither of those countries, the same suspicion -would rest upon citi- zeiis who were of English, French, Italian or Japan descent. This is a critical time for citizens of German descent in the United States, but can thank Kaiserism and the Germans in the United Slates placing them under suspicion. It is just as well to look at the facts squarely in the face, but no doubt there are those who will be falsely ac- cused as being pro-Gcrman, for per- tonalities will often enter into it with malicious lies being circulated against citizens w ho are far from' being pro- Gerntans. There were large numbers of citizens before the L nited States entered the war who were certainly out-spoken and in hearty accord with Germany, and who hoped and predict ed that she would win the war. Knowing that this sentiment prevail ed in citizens of German descent be fore the United States entered the war, they arc now being judged by what they said then. There were also a large number of citizens who were opposed to the United States getting mto the war as well as citizens of German descent, who took untenable positions, for they now see and arc ready to admit that Germany, w hen it forced the war upon Earopc, did so or a conquest of the world, including the United States.

Lord Byron never saw a Grant Six, out he had the right idea about beau ty—it is first and foremost a matter of lines. The Grant Six is a beautiful car be cause of its graceful, flowing lines,, which carry the eye naturally from iront to back. The high raidator and iiood, the careful curve of the fenders the long running board, the sloping windshield, all contribute to the effect of accentuating the length of the car. The Grant Six body lines are beau tiful because they arc simple. A motor car is primarily a machine. Its pur pose is utilitarian not decorative. It is a fundamental principle ob served by all good designers, that beauty of a useful thing must be kept the incidental and must never be ob trusive. The designers of the Grant Six have kept this fact in mind. They have not forgottei^for an instant that their ob ject was to build a motor car that would satisfy tbe critical eye of the people who have taste.xSo they did did not try to suggest a torpedo boat or a yacht or anything else except a motor car. There are, of course, people who will say that the Grant Six is "too quiet.” But, its restful deep olive green, relieved by white striping on louvres and wheels, and set off by the black fenders and splashers, will ap peal to most people, including all those whose good taste tells them that violent reds and passionate pur ples arc chosen only by those of primative color sense. The natural accompaniment of beau ty is careful workmanship. In the Grant Six you will find that finished touch which always shows the handi work of men who are skilled, con scientious and proud of the thing that they have made. l’liis finished appearance is not al ways found in motor cars that arc sold at a popular price and which must be produced on a large scale. But you do find it on the Grant Six. ind it is significant. It means that the things you can't sec. the mechanical details of the car that you must take on faith, arc equally well done. Let Kuppcnbender show the Grant Car to you. Do it n»w. Sale of war saving stamps have run as high as $3.000.000 a day. 1 his am ount provides the Treasury with about one tenth tbe entire amount now being expended by the nation for the war. While $3.000.000 is only I cents a day for every man. woman, and child in the country, the entire cost of the war is but 30 cent. Pcr capita a day. V si 7 *.* § 1 4 i ? 4 r Power to take a hill, and power to pass the other fellow are still claimed by many car makers; but here’s a car that puts such expressions into the dark ages of automobiling. It is the current Chalmers, equipped with the famous “Hot-Spot” and “Ram’s-Horn” Manifold, which wrings from gas more power than was ever taken out of gas before. But not merely brutal power (for that it has), but a newer kind, a softness of power that is as thrilling to bear witness to as the technique of a great musician. Accomplished how? By those two great devices: a “Hot- Spot”, which fairly cooks the gas, then ‘‘cracks it up fine as a powder”, and the “Ram’s-Horn” Manifold which “sets it down” in the combustion chambers with celerity and with out disturbance. So that when the spark touches it off, it gives nothing but power; soft, harnessed, controlled power that you will never forget once you have had its feel. TOURING CAR. 7-PASSF.NGF.R SUM TOURING CAR.
