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-

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.

thought that a shortage ot only per cent oi me ocean ly recent discovery. If is was introduced into Virginia

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. ?

care of them, it is always possible that they and their kind
will be turned over to a neighboring state, the passing
of the buck being easier than dealing with the problem at
home. 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

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.

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,

.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!';

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.

Dinner)

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.
