This is the one great urgent demand made by world conditions. There is an abundance of food in the world for all, but there is not the ships to properly distribute it. Nature has done her part and provided a sufficiency. The extra demand for ocean transportation due to the war and partly to the German submarines is far greater than the supply. In India and Australia there is wheat to spare, enough to supply all the needs of the civilized world, but the scarcity of ships prevents it being used except as a last resort. The ships must be given the shortest haul possible in order to allow them to come anywhere near meeting the demand. To haul flour from Australia to France or England requires more than double the number ot snips it takes to haul the same quantity from an Atlantic port to the same destinations. For this reason so long as tne ship shortage exists, and America can in any way furnish enough foodstuffs to get along with, these sources of supply will not be tapped. The whole world faces hunger unless the ocean going vessels can have their number largely increased. Fdr this reason those engaged in ship building, are doing as much for the cause of liberty as those' who serve at the front. It is not a service accom panied by sa great physical danger, but. it is in a sense really more important, for without ships-the men at the front; are helpless. There, is a call for men to work in the logging camps in getting .-.out ship knees and airplane timber; in other work along these lines that should appeal to the American too old to, serve at the front, but to whom this work offers a chance to serve his ... country just as faithfully and as well. , ' In this connection it may be stated that one of the first things necessary is to get rid of the 1. W. w s ana tnat ilk. The government has been slow along this line, but the people are becoming aroused and there are instances where they are taking tne matter into tneir own nanus. There is a storm brewing and it will be a sorry day for the I. W. W. gang when it breaks. With that menace re moved the situation will soon be cleared up and the Northwest will get, down to the business of turning out the good wooden ships that will go far toward winning the war and keeping hunger from the doors of our allies and from our armies in Europe. tt Rippling Rhymes - " by Walt Mason r i. 4 4t LOOKING FOR PEACE I'm longing for the boon of peace, that's been for weary years mislaid; I yearn to see tne struggle cease, and captains seek some mnaer traae. wno is not weary of tne strife, of war with greedy, reeking jaws? Methinks the whole world and his wife would hail said boon with glad hurrahs. The world is dark without this boon, the large smooth boon of which I write; at noon I croon a yearning tune, I sigh for it at morn and night. But when the boon at last ap pears, it ought to bear the guarantee that nevermore in coming years will war lords wield the snickersnee.

Margaret Garrett's By JANB PHELPS LONGS FOR HIS PRISON HOME That is a pathetic story in Tuesday's Oregonian of Charles Peterson, 64 years old, who has spent more tnan whom he was paroled. According to his story which has the ear marks of truth, and the telling of which cannot benefit him, he should never have been sent to prison. He says he killed his brother who came to his home drunK, and who threatened to kill him and the whole family. He does not know where his wife or daughter are. He has no friends. He is alone in a world from which he had been so long shut out, and he finds it so cold, so friendless, so unsympathetic, that he longs for the peace of his old cell, the companionship of criminals, the deprivation of liberty, anything so he can get out of touch with the world that has treated him so harshly. Surely his life has fallen in hard lines when his freedom only serves to make him long for the home comforts of the penitentiary as being pre ferable to the bitter struggle for existence in the great and seemingly cruel world. The German claim that her troops are fighting in the streets of Asiago is preposterous as that place has been a mass of ruins since May of last year. There are no streets, no inhabitants, no one to fight. A German submarine is reported in the mM-Atlantic. That is a good place for it, only it should be at the bottom. CHPTAER LVII. I did not let either mother or Bob know that I had overheard their con versation; but I was indignant that mother should talk as bIio did to Bob. She had practically censured mo for my devotion to my husband, and to him.'

In reality I was far from feeling content with his. replies to my questions auent the business which took him to Chicago. I should have been better, satisfied had ho attended simply to his real estate business and remained at home. Money was nothing to mo compared to his pres ence. Perhaps had I ever felt the need of money I would have been more will ing he should engage in other things, but he had been able to give me all aud more than ever I had had at home; and as my tastes were very simple' I did not sue thu need of depriving my- but I stubbornly refused. "I will surprise him,'.' I declared, and added, "won't he be pleased 1" "Perhaps!" mother had answered doubtfully. But I had no fears. I never mistrusted that he would not bo as de lighted as would I should he surprise me in the same way. It was late afternoon when I arrived in Chicago. I took a cab and went di reotly to the hotel from which. Bob had written. "Mr. Garrett left here yesterday," the clerk informed me wlion I asked for Bob, and told hioi who 1 was. w "Ho-has left!" I stupidly repeuted, not able to grasp the fact. "Yes, yesterday. . Would you like a roomf" V. "Yes no, I don't know." I stammer ed, utterly at alossw Bob had left Chi cago just about-the time I left New York. I thought. . He' was at home by this time. Why-hadif't I listened to mother and waited for him?" "Hadn't you better take a room for the night?" the clerk asked, after wait ing a few moments. , "Is there a train I can take to night?" I returned. 1 would take it if there were and get back to Bob. "Yes, you can leave here in a couple of hours," he told me after he had consulted a time table. "I shall take that train," I told him. Thou as I felt almost ill from disap pointment, I went into the dining room and ordered a cup of strong soffee.
