Quite likely the time is at hand when most of the short haul business of the country will be haul­ ed by motor truck, leaving only the Jong hauls to the railroad. Therefore good roads are the only hope of the outside communities, in the way of better transportation.—Eugene Reg­ ister. The Register had better add a little to the above paragraph. A number of counties have been talking about good roads, and macadam roads at that, but the only good roads are the hard surfaceed roads. We fonsider it poor economy to fool away a whole lot of money on macadam roads on heavily traveled roads, for autos and auto trucks soon tear them up, mak­ ing the maintenance charges exceed­ ingly heavy. It is reported that a national poultry organizatiton has been form­ ed to enlist the American hen to fight the kaiser by producing meat and meat substitutes, releasing the red meat supply of the country for the soldiers and their comrades in arms across the sea. To make a suc­ cess of the poultry business, one thing is overlooked, and that is the almost prohibitive price of chicken teed. The national organizattion had better wrestle with the chicken feed problem before talking through its hat.

There is more or less comment go­ ing on about single men not enlisting. Well, there are some single men in this neck of the woods who are in non-essential employment, but there are others who are in essential em­ ployment, but the average person does not take that into consideration. It Is safe to say that after next Thursday, and when the question­ naires are answered, there won’t be many single men under the age Of 45 not in the army for people lu criticise. ----- o Did you notice how the casualty list of the United States is climbing up. Just think. It Is now about 30.- 000 and the American army has not commenced to get Into the serious fighting. We hope not. but we ex­ pect that the casualty list will mount tip considerably in the near future, for it is generally surmised that our boys arc going to play an important part In the fighting from now on. This should spur us on to greater ac­ tivities at home and as Dr. Hotson has rightly aald that the Tillamook people can do the boys in France a wonderful lot of good, and they could do nothing better for them than gather sphagnum moss, of which this county lias an abundance. Large quantities of evergreen blackberries aid being picked and be­ ing put up In two fruit canneries. Last year they were shipped out by express by the tons and taken to canneries in other parts of the state. So Tillamook county is canning Its own blackberries and a whole lot of people, especially school children, are earning goodly sums of money to buy W. S. S. stamps and their own clothing It is only two seasons that Tillamook people despised evergreen blackberries and some persons cussed the way the vines were spreading on their land They appear to be a valuable asset right now for one sees posted up on numerous places "No Women I* Local Politics. ------ o------- From the look of things women are going to get into local polities again. Some few years since the women of Tillamook City thought that it was right that a woman should be on the school board. There contention was, however, that the public school was suffering on ac­ count of too many inexperienced teachers, and as it often happens in a school the size of this district a woman can handle the sltuatiton better than a man, when it comes to the morals of girls attending school. The women had the best of the ar­ gument, especially when it came to employing inexperienced teachers for the men folk, somehow think that to the victor belongs the spoil, hence, there friends, or their friends friend, happened to be elceted teach­ ers, regardless of experience. Well, the men folk will do that, anyway. So the women were determined to have a representative on the Tilla­ mook school board. When the annual meeting was held, it was dominated by women, and notwithstanding that some of our citizens endeavored to head the women off, they failed to do so. The chairman delayed calling the meeting to order, and quite a few of the men folk held a star chamber conflab in another part of the build­ ing. It was highly amusing with the women patiently waiting for the school meeting to be called to order. The women carried their point and won out with an overwhelming vic­ tory, and the men folk who held that star chamber confiab must have felt that they got what they deserved when they undertook to keep a wom­ an oft the school board. The meeting elected Mrs. A. C. Everson director, and in doing so elected an experienc­ ed. highly educated person, in fact one of the bast read and intelligent women in the county. Then it was thought there would be trouble at the board meetings. Not so, however, Mrs. Everson had the best interest of the school only in mind, and when outvoted on any question did not cause any fuss, but in a ladylike manner acquiesced in the decision of the board. It was not long after Mrs. Everson became a member of the school board that the other members found that by her experience in school work she made a valuable ad- dition to the board, and instead of discord, the board worked harmon­ ious together. And Mrs. Everson was re-elected and is still a member of the school board. This is how a woman came to be­ come a member of the school board, and the women of this city showed good judgment when they placed her on the board. Now the women are going to butt into county politics and give the men folk a tussel. It is the office of coun­ ty treasurer that they aspire to, and being the first women elected on the Tillamook school board, Mrs. Everson aspires to be the first wom­ an to be elected to a county office in this county. We may add that as Mrs. Everson had made such an excellent school director, she was elected to the re­ sponsible position of secretary to the Tillamook Branch of the Red Cross, and very few persons know the days, weeks and months she has devoted to that good cause, tak- ing up most of her time.
