WAR SAVINGS STAMPS CAMPAIGN
" The war savings stamps campaign workers dispair of
raising their quota in Salem. Many other interior towns
of the coast are meeting with similar dscouragement.
While it is true that there may be some pro-Germans and
some tight-wads who never do their share in any public
cause in this community and in every other community
we believe that most of the people are responding to the
best of their ability. The drives' for the third liberty
loarv Red Cross and war savings stamps succeeded each
other in quick succession. And all the time thousands of
dollars worth of thrift stamps were being sold by the
tchool children. Such towns as Salem have no war in
come, it is all outgo, and many people who are paying
their various subscriptions in installments feel that they
have all the payments coming along they will be able" to
meet with the incomes they possess., That is the hardest
ileal the campaigners are up against now. They find not
so much unwillingness but inability to subscribe and make
good when pay day comes. This situation in all interior
points of western Oregon calls for due consideration on
part of the state managers when future drives and future
quotas are considered. ,
We would like to see Salem raise its full quota every
good, patriotic citizen , will be disappointed if failure
marks the campaign. Every real American is working
liard for success, because the war savings idea is a splen
did one. It helps provide money for the war and at the
same time inculcates the principle of saving in time of
prosperity. This was the plan worked out by Secretary
McAdoo and his assistants all the way through in finan
cing the war. People are working for higher wages and
gelling everything they produce higher than ever before.
Money is plentiful and changing hands rapidly but some
time the war will end and an era of readjustment, lower
wages and lower prices will come. The plan of selling j
liberty bonds in small denominations and thrift and war
savings stamps was to induce the people of all classes to
lay up some of the money they were making against the)
inevitable re-action that is bound to ensue. It was a
scheme or preparing for peace in the midst of war and
it has proven a splendid success. The government is rais-
ing the money promptly with which to carry on the war,
and the. people saving in bonds and stamps many times
more than they ever did beiore.
We hope Salem will raise its quota because the more
f tamps our people buy the better they will be prepared for
future developments, whatever they may be, and because
the government needs the money, and so far as our people
have the power to do so they ought to subscribe it
willingly.
JUST FOUR YEARS AGO
has declined to.conceal any longer from the German peo'
pie the fatal defect of the machine which is so relentless
in its futile sacrifice of German manpower.
The four years from Franz Ferdinand to Von Kuehl
mann mark the shattering of the Hoheuzollern ambition
to rule the world by force of arms. . There probably will
be further painful efforts by Von Hindenburg to re
habilitate the reputation of the German army. They will
be in vain.
Von Kuehlmann's words are ringing throughout Ger
many not to be forgotten. They soon will be ringing in
the ears of the soldiers, who will then know that in every
future German offensive they are dying in vain for
victory.
Four years after Ferdinand's death disquiet has grip
ped Germany. Demoralization is the next condition the
kaiser must face unless he publicly abandons the worship
of militarism.
t The Woman Who Changed t
SPIRIT OF UNITY AND SACRIFICE
' Many incidents are happening to prove to the nation
that the people of America are willing to forego personal
pleasures for .the success of the war. This fact was illus
trated the other day, when the central war auxiliary com
mittees of the women of Portland representing about
twenty-five organizations, passed resolutions that they
would put a ban on kid gloves as long as the government
needed leather to use in the ,war. Such a spirit as this
can only be commended. It is the result of a vision that
many far-sighted and imaginative people have grasped,
and which should be a lesson to those puny souls- who can
not look beyond the fence of their own personal desires.
In any group or class the success or attainment of the
aims of that group or class always depends upon the ex
tent the individual members forget their individuality
in the bigger and broader idea of the whole. They must
think of the group as a unit and must conserve and apply
their energy not for any small part, but for the good of
all. The nation is a typical group which must follow the
general sociological rules of any group in order fo ad
vance to the highest step of the ladder of civilization. If
we want our nation to succeed in her present struggle
we must, each not only be willing when forced by some,
compulsory rule to eliminate personal and selfish pleas
ures, but we must be keen and alert enough to anticipate
these needs and to initiate means to supplythem before
forced to do so.

Four years ago yesterday Archduke Franz Ferdinand,
heir to the Austro-llungarian throne' was assassinated
liy Servian fanatics. In revenge for this crime, Austro
Hungary tried to make a vassal state of Servia, and thus
gave to the German militarists an opportunity to bring
about the world conflict which they had long been plan
ning for the time when they could be sure of the dual
monarchy's support as an active and willing ally, says
J. W. T. Mason, United Press European expert.
This was the cause of the war. On the fourth anni
versary of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand's murder, the
German militarists are gathering together in anxious con
clave because the German government has" been compelled
to declare to the reichstag that peace cannot be won on
the battlefield. It 1ms required three years and eleven
months of fighting to extort this confession from Ger
many. The vast dreams of Pan-German ambitions that
made international outlaws of the Hohenzollern warriors
cannot be realized by force of amis.
The German military machine that was ready for in
stant brigandage on assassination of Franz Ferdinnand is
no longer able to keep up its bold front of assured victory.
The machine has failed. Von Kuehlmann, the third
foreign minister whom Germany, has called'to subservient

THE "HARVEST
The wheat will soon be ready, throughout,
the golden west- for workers strong and
steady to come and do their best; the long
green fields are turning to yellow, in the
sun, and, viewing them, we're learning how
we shall can the Hun. The wide, wide
fields are golden, as grateful to the eyes,
as in the ages olden was manna from the
skies. For wheat means more than giving
a pampered people bread; it's triumph for
the Hying, and vengeance for the dead.
uJ The wheat from all these regions where
reapers soon will sing, will feed our fighting
legions, and balk the kulturking. Oh,
worker- come rejoicing, and bind the golden sheaves, a
song of gladness voicing, and not as one who grieves. Oh,
toiler, tread the stubble, like victor proud and strong, nor
think the task a trouble because the hours are long. As
much as men with sabres, you fight the Teuton knaves, so
blithely face your labors, and not like gallery slaves. So
to the wheat fields journey as gay as knights of bid, who
hastened to the tourney on fields of cloth of gold.' With
courage of the stoic, into the harvest prance; there's noth
ing more heroic on all the fields of France. -

A CORRECTION
ing a face at the clergyman,
Wo had refreshments afterward. Just
the families and me. . Mrs. Beeves,
Kurtz's mother, was lov.ely. She seem
ed to forget all her coldness, and just
mothered Evelyn and the baby as if
sho were Evelyn's own. mother. .
I said something of the sort to Eve
lyn when we were alone and she replied:
"I am sorry I ev,r said tha things
about her I did- Yet I always tried to
do nothing to displease her. But I did
n't know her, I guess. I don't TBY
to know her. She is simply wonderful,
and so lovely to me. It was only that I
wasn't usel to her dignified ways so
different from the women, in the littw
town I came from."
"I guess that's the way with a lot
of people, we don '.t try to know them"
I said slowly, thinking that perhaps I
didn 't know George evea yet. .
A Good Influence
Talking with Evelyn about her moth'
er-iu-law, had been a good" thing for
me. I mean it helped me. I thought
of how stiff and formal I had thought
her, how unapproachable. Here she wai
acting just like any other mother, yet
always the delicately refined woman;
tha dignified society woman, but the
mother; the woman with a. heart as
well. Perhaps in a sort of man-fasliion
George was something like her. I had
not found my way down, whore ho lived.
I only judged him by his outsido, as
I aonrplained hi judged me. What a
tangle life was. No matter how hard
we tried, thero seemed always misun
derstandings and heartaches.
Upon his return George seemed pleas
ed to hear all about the christoningi
Whon I confessed that I had been hor
ribly extravagant in buying the robe
he smiled and said:
'I guess I can stand thj strain," He
was always like that about money mat
ters. He indulged me In anything I
wanted to do. Now as I look back across
the years, I renlisw that I was not a'
all extravagant. That my ideas of the
small town girl whose parents were in
moderate circumstances. That had 1
spent far more than I did it would not
hav,9 been at all out of place because
Georgo expected me to spend enough
money to keep up ms social position
evory way. But often I apologized for
my bills, although he n,ever had criticiz
ed them.
A Gay Winter.
We wcro very gay at this time. But
I scarcely let a day 'pass that I did not
see mv iitle namesake. It was usually
in tho morning. My afternoons wero all
occupied. Dressmakers, receptions, "din
ners, balls, kept me too busy to think.
Then there wus my music, that I would
not neglect. It was the ons thing in
which I absolutely pleased George. He
never had done anything but praise me,
and was, I knew, proud of my talent.
Had I not loved music as I did, I still
should have kept up my practice for his
sake; for the happiness I had because
I could interest and pleafe him.
Sometimes when we were going out
to dinner he would come home early
and before we dressed we would go into
the music room and without any light
I would piny for him for an hour. He
said it rested him more than anything
else to sit in the dark and listen to
mv music.
At all the affairs wo attended Julia
.Collins and Madgo Loring were always
in evidence. Julia grew more daring in
her remarks to George, took less pains
to disemble before mo. He seemed abso
lutely obvious that she was doing any
thing at all out of the way; anything
to which I could object.
After a particularly obnoxiouB remark
I snid to him:
"I wonder what Mrs, Collins would
think if her husband were alive and I
said such a thing to her 1"
"What has her husband being alive
got to do with it!"
"Nothing much! Only it seems rather
more we'll say impolite to insult a
wife when a husband is with her."
"Nonsense. Yon are always imagining
things, Julia didn't mean a thing. She
knows me so well she thinks she can
st what she pleases."
"But she doesn't know me so well,
and the remark was to im."1;
"For heaven's sake, Helen, do stop
your faultfinding. It is a most disagree
able habit," George exclaimed impa
tiently, then went directly back to Mrs.
Collins and commenced to chat and
laugh with her.

YOUR HEALTH
By ANDRKW F. CURRIER, M. D.
Falling Of The Stomach.
I have been asked to write an
article on gastroptosis, or falling
of the stomach what It means,
and what are soma of Its symp.
toras. i
The stomach Is very movable,
being In the upper part of the ab
"domlnal cavity, extending from
right to left and held lit place 'by
tho food tubo or gullet, and by
loose bands or ligaments attached
to the diaphragm, to the liver oa
the right, and the spleen on the
left.
Though so loosely held, U is la
motion most of the time, particu
larly when food Is churned abont
In It, and undergoing digestion.
The tissues of the stomach and
Its ligaments stretch easily and,
lacking the resiliency of an elastio
tissue, they do not return to their
normal boundaries' after a certain
number of stretchings.
The stomach of a full grown
adult holds one to three- pints, and
you can Imagine how much It is)
distended and overtaxed by thos
who eat and drink to excess.
It 1b not unusual for guzzlers of
beer, wine, Whiskey, gin, etc, to
drink several quarts at & sitting,
and for those who are Intpmperatei
in eating, to eat far mor than the
proper capacity of the stomach.
The kidneys and Intestines do
their best ti relieve such sinners,
but all these organs are sooner or
later Involved In ths penalties of
over-eating and drinking.
Continued abuse- of the stomach,
must ultimately result in persist
ent dilatation, the organ loses Its
natural shape, constant ferments
Hon and gas formation balloon It
into a great bag, and It en
croaches npon neighboring organs
and causes unlimited discomfort.
From dilatation, to relaxation- of
the loose supporting bands of the
stomach. Is Jmt s step.
When the bands begin to give
way, there Is- nothing to bring
them back to their normal state.
The more they are pulled, the
more they stretch, and the less
able they become to sustain the
ever-distended and over-weighted
stomach.
Then the latter drops, some
times horizontally .and sometimes
bow or stern first, the Intestines
can. olfer little resistance, and In
time the stomach distends and
drops until it reaches the pelvis.
Others who- suffer with falling
of the stomach- are the people of
lax fiber, who have Uttle muscu
lar strength to begin with, and
who have been overpowered by,
hard work or Improper food.
Included In this group, are hard
working women burdened with tha
care of families among the poor
and neglected.
Only recently has this condition
been accurately recognized, only
recently have the stomach and its
disorders formed a group of di
seases for careful Investigation.
The X-ray, and abdominal sur
ery, have Illuminated the subject
and though, we are far from get
ting Ideal results In the treatment,
of many stomach diseases, we have
Oertalnly made great gjadns ancV
will gain much more.
Some of the symptoms of falling ,
of the stomach are general discom
fort, want of ambition for ordinary
duties, constipation and poor nutri
tion. The treatment may be medical,
surgical, or instrumental.
If the abdomen is opened, a re
paratlve operation caa. sometimes
be successfully done.
Many cases, however, are much
relieved by a properly adjusted,
belt, and this should be tried Intf
preference to an operation, when,
possible. j
