THE WORLD'S SHIPPING SITUATION Sir Eric Gcddes, first lord of the admiralty of Great Britain, yesterday made report to the house of commons concerning the world's shipping and what has happened to it since the war began. His statement and figures make interesting reading. He estimates the total of the world's shipping belonging to allied and neutral nations at the beginning of the war at 3:1,000,000 tons. Of this he says the losses by submarines and natural causes have been about 6,000,000 tons. The Germans claim nine million tons have been sunk but fifty per cent of this he declares is for home consumption. During the same time the new ships added amount to about 3,500,000 tons, and this leaves the total net loss ata 8 per cent of the world's total or 2,500,000. tons. At first glarce it would hardly be STAND BY THE POTATO While the potato is an article of general use as a food it is not nearly so much so as in some other countries. The average in America is somewhere around two bushels for with an allowance of 85,000,000 bushels for seed and waste a crop of 350,000,000 bushels proved abundant for all needs. Owing to an extra effort last year the crop totaled about 445,000,000 bushels or about 95,000,000 bushels above the five year average. While there is still an abundance of spuds, it was indeed fortunate that this bumper crop was raised, for it was a substitute badly needed, and that is still called on more heavily each day to take the place of cereals needed for export. With three months yet until the new crop is available it is likely the market will be pretty thoroughly cleaned by the end of the season. This should emphasize the necessity of raising another bumper crop this year. Remember they may be needed to prevent suffering. It is possible also that dehydrating plants will be multiplied this Fall, ! for the potato so treated makes a fine substitute for grains and one that on account of its lightness makes it a profitable substitute as a shipper. A hundred million bushels of potatoes can be made to take the place of 40,000,000 bushels of grain and can be exported in not as great bulk and at the same time in so palatable a shape as to be really preferable to the wheat flour. Don't be afraid of the good old stand-by the potato. The German j farmers consume an average of 12 bushels per capita of the lowly spud and it is up to us here in America to eat more of him and save the wheat flour. The potato is indigenous to America and as an edible is of comparative- I A . - . mm 1 9 -at :...T. ....... :f me wuuiau nuu uwuscu BOT RUM fjltn CjT THIS TEN DOLLAR bill chhixqed foh ME I LL WRIT Hff?c UNTIL you cone sacrvf ; By Jane Phelps I THE VEILED LADY. CREATED A DEFICIENCY The Emergency Board took the matter of policing the state into its hands yesterday and without any very great discussion, and with only one dissenting vote declared an emergency existed and created a deficiency of a quarter of a million dollars. Attention has been ca'led for some time to the helpless condition of Ihe state should any real trouble arise, and at one time the governor is said to have seriously contemplated calling a session of the legis lature to provide adequate protection. While the state has had some labor troub'es, they hive as a general thing been of a not very serious character, but they were enough to make thoughtful persons see the necessity of rmvintr some state force that could be called on if needed. Just now in Idaho theh I. W. W. are making considerable longs to the same family as the deadly nightshade, and although there are more than a thousand varieties of the plant, but two, the potato and the egg plant, are suitable for food. THE CENSOR WAS ASLEEP , f Irtll I W - W W . .a. a. a a -w .a. thought that a shortage ot only per cent oi me ocean ly recent discovery. If is was introduced into Virginia carrvine nower would cause such a drastic need of ships, in ru- RpWT,rpPT,rr1 np-nhirv and intn Eurone later. It be- but tnere are several reasons lor ims. wruinuy a mei chant marine in home ports is quite a factor in the world's shipping and on top of ths the demsnds for ships is great ly increased by the war. The transporting of the Amer ican troops along with munitions and supplies requires a good sized fleet, and the furnishing of foodstuffs for the allies to make up shortages that are far above normal re quires many additional ships. In fact the demand for ships has increased fifty per cent while the tonnage has shrunk at least 8 per cent. It is this condition that is causing the continuous cry to speed up on ships. In a few months more America will be turning a steady stream of new ships into the channels of trade, and it is expected by August, at the least, the world's fleet will have ceased to decrease, and to have started to grow again. With the decrease of submarine, destructiveness and perhaps the building of concrete ships the congestion of ocean freights will begin to be relieved. The censor on the Oregonian, Wednesday, must have been asleep on his job, and is certainly due to have his back against the wall and the firing squad turned loose at him. He allowed a criticism of the Oregon Agricultura' College to go unbluepenciled to the Oregonian readers, and this too on the editorial page. R. M'i Tuttle writing the paper from Portland asked: "Why should a progres sive state like Oregon permit ruffianism that is worthy of Prussianism to exist in a state institution? Public atten tion has been called recently to youths who have been permanently injured physica'ly and mentally by their mistreatment at Corvallis." The Oregonian of course does not comment on the matter editorially and we sug gest to Mr. Tuttle that he instead of making his inquiries at the tall tower try the dome at the state capitol. Gov ernor Withycombe is a member of the board of regents and was for years a member of the O. A. C. faculty. Maybe it is because the boss Kerr has gorie east that this matter became public. That was when the salary steal started. By the way it was not a steal, for it comes under the head of obtaining a salary under false pretenses. There is really a job for the prosecuting attorney of Ben ton county that is not being attended to. ?

It is realized that with such an invasion the state of Oregon might be compel'ed to act, with no power to do so. It was at first thought a further deficiency of $;?50,000 .would have to be created to provide equipment for the militia but his was overcome and the extra deficiency avoided. The resolution creating the deficiency was drafted by Gus Moser, and voted for by Governor Withy combe and Secretary of State Olcott so there is no political divergence of opinion among the republican candidates for governor, and besides one of the candidates f?r U. S. senator, Speaker Stanfield, is a member of the board and voted to create the deficiency. It must make a gang of robbers want to swear at the newspapers when they read such news as that yesterday about a gang getting away with $23,000 but overlooking S200.000, and that too, in currency.

Mf-"f-4 t Rippling Rhymes j by Walt Mason j i. 1 THE WAR CRITIC j 1 . xv- V ; . . s..- .. . I've bungled everything I've tried, I've shown there's such a word as fail; and al ways I have let the hide go with the Jiorns, the hoofs and. tail. I used to run a mart of trade until the sheriff closed my door; and peanuts then, and lemonade, I sold till I went broke once more. I used to sell hot dog and wurst, but couldn't make the busi ness pay, and once again was I immersed in seven kinds of consomme. I can't con duct a peanut stand, ior make the popcorn business go; I am no good at pounding sand, at shearing swine or baling snow. And having failed at all I've tried, lost every thing I've struggled for, I feel that I am qualified to show how we should run the war. All day I sit around and tell what Haig and Pershing ought to do, if they would make the kaiser yell, and show him to his proper pew. And I explain how Daniels lost the confidence of men like me, and made the navy such a frost lhat it has chilled -the deep blue sea. I climb on Baker's tortured frame, and from him take a dozen falls, and show just where he queered the game, and gave the foe a base on balls. I can not wind an eight-day clock, or cut the weeds or till the loam, but I can stand around and talk until the ring-tailed cows come home. The honeymoon was over, and it was their first morning in their new home, their cozy little nest on Eteenth Street which, if it had boon two blocks fur ther wohI, would have faced the park mid, though they were naturally kind hearted young people, they couldn't help wishing that some day a fire would I urn down tho two rows of houses bt twe.cn" them and the view, although of rpi.' w:ii I course tho hoped that the liremeu 1I11& Will i ..i,i Qll t, nemiln fimf. .Miyway, it was their first morning in their new home, and at the very thought of his leaving her, she clung to him desperately. "Tom! Tom!" she breathed. "It's 0 n first morning in our new home don't tell me you're going away!" He patted her hair, and his faithful brown eyes filled with tears. "I must, I must," he breathed back. "You know I wouldn't leave you un less I heard the stern hand I mean tho stern beckon' I mean call. I realize it is our first morning in our new home, but lifo is hard, dearest, life is hard. Yon must let me go now, It is all for the best."- Iiut she clung ever tighter. ';o, no, no, no, no!" she cried, al though ordinarily she was not one to repeat herself. "I can't let you go-- 1 rnn't, I can't, I can't, I ean't, I can't I can't! Oh, just to think on our firt morning in our ne home! Oh, it will seem ages! ages! If something were to happen to you while you arc away! Ot r first separation!" "Tush! Tush!" he tushed, bravely kissing her fears away. And he tore himself away and went firmly down the cellar steps to fix the furnace, while she stood palpitatingly at the head of the cellar steps and wait ed jearningly. CHAPTER XXXL Evelyn did not remain long; and 1 did not wonder. My mind was so in sistantly trying to think who the veiled lady v.i.h Oeorjje could be, that I was very inattentive to my caller. Evidently when Uoorge found it im possible to take mo because of my red eyes, he had invited someone in my place. But Evelyn had Laid she was so "done up in veils" as to be unrec ognizable, i might have gone, had I asked Georgo to ullow me to wear a heavy veil, I thought; then I knew he never would have conseu.ed. I did wish I could do something sj that I neve! would cry again as long as I lived, but whenever anything hurt or angered me, tii a tears always caino in spite of every thing I could do. I was what Georgo ta.'ljd "the weepy kind." I dress il caret ill ly, and when George tamo in, about half an hour before din ner, my faaa allowed no traces of tears. I ran to tho door to meet him, and tried not to notice the carclctsucsH with which ho returned my kiss. I followed htm upstairs and while he!'; li nsm-in-ii lot uiuucr x luuiuu iu mm. Finally I said: "Evelyn lieove came over for a little while this afternoon. She came very soon lifter you lef Sho thought I was with you." "It was your own fault that you were not!" impatiently replied George. "fcjlie said you had some woman all done up iu veils; that's the reason she thought it was I with you. She couldn't see her face." George made no reply, but I noticed a slight scowl on his face. Foolishly I went on: "I might have gone that way. If I had worn a heavy veil, my red eyes would not have shown through it." "You may as well understand now, that I shall not take you anywhere when you have been weeping. If you choose to make a fright of yourself, you may remain where my friends do not see you." "Who was that lady with youf" I asked, ready to weep again because of his severely uncompromising tone. "Madgo Eoring although it is none of your business'." Tliti Call to Dinner Interrupts Just then Annie announced "dinner and we suid no more. But all through the very quiet meal George scarcely spoke save when the butler was in the room I kept thinking of what he had said about talcing Madge Loring riding with him. Was it "none of my busi ness", as he had declared Was it an other of those things done by society people, which I had been .taught to be lieve quite an aufait for married peo ple? Jn our little home town it would have been a nine days scandal for a married man to take out another man's wife, un less his wife also was of the party. But everything in Morelands was so differ ent. People here seemed to have a codo of behavior totally uuliko that of the homefolks. Then suddenly flashed another thought: If George could go motoring with hia friends, why of course I could also go out with mine! Perhaps sometime with Merton Gray. I started to say something of the kind to Ceorge, but just tliea tho telephone rang and I had no chance. "Who was it" I asked when he re turned to the table just as James brought out the dessert. "It was a personal call," George an swered, scowling, after 1 had repeated the question, thinking he had not heard mo the first timo. Kebuked and cowed, but aiso i.urt at his tone, I made no . further effort to talk. As soon as we finished dinner he ran up-stairs, and in an incredibly short time was down again dressed in his evening clothes. "Good night 1 Go to bed early," he said, giving me one of his careless kiss es. Sometimes I felt I would rather ha would not kiss me at all; yet, even to be noticed was something perhaps. Evidently some one had asked him to go out, when he went to tho tele phone, for he had said something which, gave me to understand he intended to main home for the evening. Uailessly I walked to the little booth under the stairs where the telephone for the first floor was installed. I had no intention of using it; no real reason to go there. A piece of paper torn frQm the littls pad we kept on tho wall, was on the floor where George had either thrown, or dropped it. I picked it up - and, smoothing it out, saw a telephone num ber on it. Was that where Georgo had gone! I looked through the telephone book, but could not f ind the number, so I call ed up central and asked her to give ma the address I giving her the number, frhe did bo, and to my delight it was some club. I don't know what I expect ed, but someway it help to pass the lonely evening to know that George was with men, and not with Madge Loring or some other woman. (Tomorrow Final Preparations for the Dinner) There was a wise Spear-woman who f lived in a shoe !Por her many small children she knew what to do: She made them most happy with Wrig ley's for all It kept them in trim at a cost very small! ' When Itching Stops There is one safe, dependable treatment that relieves itching torture and skin irri tation almost instantly and that cleanses and soothes the skin. Ask any druggist for a 35c or $1 bottle of zemo and apply it as directed. Soon you will find that irritations, pimples, blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm and similar skin troubles will disappear. A little zemo, the penetrating, satisfy ing liquid, is all that is needed, for it banishes most skin eruptions and makes the skin soft, smooth and healthy. Ths E. W. Rose Co., Cleveland, O.
