What a welcome we received? Both Mr. and Airs. Babcock met us at the train, altho it arrived at a very ear!y hour. "Yoa have grown handsomer than ever," Mr. Babcock said, aa he kissed Chancellor Von Hertling addressing the reichstag as to Germany's aims, yesterday, gave tongue to a great leal of stuff that was produced for home consumption alone. It was given in such terms as a conqueror might make to a foe utterly vanquished. He asserted that Bel . gium would never be given up, that France must for ever relinquish all hope of regaining Alsace-Lorraine, that treaties between -Germany on one side and Russia and Rumania on the other must be recognized, and that the allies should pay Germany indemnity. Coming as it did on the heels of the most disastrous defeat the Germans have met in the war, and in the face of the rapid strength ening of the allied forces it required considerable nerve even to give voice to such a statement. The chaotic con dition arising in Austria-Hungary, the rapidly increas ing troubles with the Slavs, the collapse of the Austrian offensive in Italy, all show the bold claims were made for no other purpose than to bolster up the fast desponding German civilians. The course of the German press in connection with the retreat from the Marne is another evidence of the dire need the militarists are in of some thing to give the people at home some encouragement. The news of the defeat has been kept as much as possible from the people, and it is even claimed the defeat is a vie torv. It is a victory that has cost them 700 big guns. thousands of machine guns, millions of munitions and a quarter of a million of the German army's best troops. It has left them with the tamous rrussian iguara put a memory, and the Bavarian shock troops almost annihilat ' ... , , . . , i i eij" cd. It has forced the shortening or tne lines oi a?iense, and dailv it is decreasinc their man power. It is a- vie tory that leaves the enemy in possession of the battle field . q , 1 1 fil-JA-li.i.l and the Uerman troops aepnvea oi me iaea mat mey are invincible. It has taken much of the "punch" from the German army and it has still further disheartened Ger many's strongest ally, Austria. Bulgaria and Turkey are practically out of the fighting, and everything points to it being from this on a war that must be fought by Ger many with but little aid from any of her allies. The Ger mans are not whipped yet, but the fight has gone so many rounds that it is only a question of how many more she can stay in the ring. The new draft in America making an army of five million easily available is another matter that will set the war lords thinking, and keep them busy inventing shallow lies to delude their blind followers into still further relying on them. The lie told the German soldiers that Americans took no prisoners was simply to induce the men to fight to the last gasp, and to make them believe that surrender meant death. The military lead ers will have many things to answer to the German people for when the end comes, and the answers will be far from satisfactory. The drive started by the allies in Picardy this morn ing gives promise of developing into one of large propor tions. This point is the natural one from which to start ix drive, considered from a geographical standpoint, as any material advance there would outflank the enemy and jeopardize his position even if established at the Chemin Des Dames. Foch is evidently feeling out the situation and may continue the offensive if results are satisfactory. The report that this drive is being made by the English and French shows Americans have been withdrawn, perhaps to reinforce the army between Sois Kons and Rheims, as that part of the line where the Brit ish are advancing was held only a few days ago by the Yankee boys. . "Yes, I think she has," she return ed, her head on one side as she inspect ed me, her eyes twinkling. "It must be the babies." "It IS," I replied, then launched into a description of them. George had been eross with me for fretting over them, and I laughingly told her so. "I know dear," she said laving her I hand over mine, "but you Imve such. wonderful help, and you really must learn to leave tliem occasionally both for your own and your husband's sake. It isn't fsir to either for yon to givn up everything .to them." I was glad George was beside Mr. Chronic Constipation It is by no means an easy matter to cure this disease, but it can be done in most instance by takinsj Chamber lain's Table's and complying with the plain printed directions that accom pany each package. The government is getting 'after the packers, the "big five", in an.effort to break up an alleged combina tion. It is more than likely the packers will come out ahead, no matter what steps are taken to control them Farmers may get more for their stock, but the consumer will pay more than double whatever amount this is. lhat is the way most big combines are segregated, as witness the Standard Oil Company. Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason WARTIME PIES. The Oregon Voter says most of the patriotic people in this country before the war were republicans, and that if Hughes had been elected and war declared the democratic paity would not have supported him. As the Voter is wrong every time it has the opportunity to be so; the above can be taken for what it is worth, which is nothing. Indeterminate sentences to the state prison should now be "from the time you are satisfied to stay to such maximum as the sense of humor of the judge may fix." LADD & BUSH, Bankers ALL THE THIRD LIBERTY BONDS ARE NOW HERE. THOSE INTERESTED PLEASE CALL AT THE BANK The wartime pie is a disaster; methinks its crust is made of plaster; the filling isn't sweetened rightly, for sugar must be handled lightly. I eat my pie of peach or cherry, of apricot or loganberry, and in the eating find no pleasure, but rather anguish without measure. It tastes ls though the peach or cherry were doped by an apothe cary. How long, I ask, while I am eating, will armies on red fields be meeting? How long will colonels and com manders, and all potential Alexanders across the battle field go scouring? Because of them we are devouring tough pies which look like iron wedges, and set our teeth on brittle edges. Because some kings and kindred geezers were stuck on lining up as Caesars, we are consuming pies of leather, all riveted and glued together. Because the kaiser had a vision, a dream which seemed to him elysian, a dream of German flags a-floating wherever human skates are voting, from far Cathay to Athabasca, from Cork to Omaha, Nebraska, we're eating pies which break our jawbones and send us wailing to the sawbones. The grip of war our souls is pinching; we're brave and strong, but not unflinching; some burdens are too sore and grievous to bear without a sigh, believe us. We miss the pies that mother made us, and who, I ask you, shall upbraid us?

Lloyd George said in speaking before the house of commons, that at the beginning of the wTar Great Britain's navy totalled two and a half million and now it aggregates eight mil lion tons. He also stated that the British navy since the war began had sunk 150 submarines. This is England s i nswer to the German boast, and on top of this comes the statement that many German submarine crews have mu tinied and refused to go to sea in the diving coffins which the combined allied navies have made of that kind of craft. Submarine after submarine going out of the har bors and disappearing from the knowledge of men, nat urally gets on the nerves of the German sailors and makes them prefer death at the hands of their felbw Germans, rather than to find oblivion in the ocean. Another answer has been returned to the kaiser and his henchmen, in the rapidly swelling army America 13 sending to face the Teuton allies. Since March 21, when America had 27,500 men in line that army has grown to nearly a million and a half, all of the men and munitions and supplies for them being sent across the ocean more than 3,000 miles, and this in spite of the boasted submarines that were to con trol the oceans. These answers are not ambiguous, but meet the situation plainly, and they certainly carry no cheerful message for the Prussian militarists. The hot wave sweeping over the east is unprecedent ed, the mercury going higher in many places than ever recorded. In New York yesterday at 4 o'clock the ther mometer registered 102, the highest ever known, and at Detroit it reached 113. Much damage has been done the corn crop, but how much cannot be told until the wave has passed. While it will prove great, it-will likely not De as great as at lirst claimed, as lirst reports 01 this character are always exaggerated. However, it will be bad enough, and the hog, already puffed up over his im portance, will get still prouder. This is the worst feature 01 the hot spell, that it may cut down the meat supply next year. 9fa Sirlet ofFmformmtlv A rticl Caring For The Soldier'sTeeth n y IMAGINE a soldier aiming a great gun behind the trenches piloting a swift aero plane above the clouds r-wlth a badly aching and dttmpimc tooth. Uncle Sam ecu to it that his men take care ot their teeth. He has a atntt of dentists in each camp who care for the teeth of the defenders of our country. It's the man behind the gun who must be kept in trim, other wise the gun becomes useless. In a short time. In the Boer war, EnKland had to send home more than live thousand soldiers, uselm, because of badttetk. Had and neglected teeth vitally affect the na tion's health. Yet many go through life under the foolish belief that artificial teeth are "something they can always have." Dentists have proved that artificial teeth, at Hpst, do only one-tenth of the work required of natural teeth. Many teeth, sound In out ward appearance, are being undermined by decay. Often the pulp (nerve) becomes In fected and dies; pin forms, which, taken into the blood, menaces your eunre health.

"Then try to forget to worry, and lot him enjoy his trip as ninch as is possible when business is his reason for coming. Believe me we women sometimes make mistake when . we nogloct our husbands for our children -no matter how much we love them." THE SAME STORY. , "Everyone tells me the same-story," I laughed just as we reached the house. "it is true," she answerer! soberly. We had a most delightful time. They entertained for us, giving a din- "Perhaps," I replied, thinking of Merton Gray and how at first, an even yet, he had seemed so awfully attractive to me. AT LAST PERFECT CONTENT. We remained three days. We haJ a delightful time, but most, of all t enjoyed the long heart to heart talkg 1 had with Mrs. Babcock. I told hor of my "boys, of how wonderfully happy 1 was now that I had learned soma of the necessary things of life to be unselfish and to trust my husband. "That is all there is to married life happy married life, I mean. Unsel fishness and trust- Without it ne marriage can be happy even if they de say marriages are made in heaven. With it. nothing else matters much, I have watched you dear, watched yon change from a very sweet attractive girl, into a well poised, beautiful wo man.

Collins, as I persisted in calling her, and wo really had a good time talking things over together. I never would have believed we could be so com fortable together. She told me of her new home, and Mrs. Babcock' and I accepted an invitation for tea the fol lowing afternoon. Her husband was on the coast, a business trip, she ex plained. But she told me she was ideal ly happy. "I suppose it sounds foolish to you, but I think no one was ever any hap pier than Tom and I." That; is because you do not curt) have the love and respect of the ruua you married. The other day when yo were dressing he and I had a little talk. I was surprised that ho opened his heart to me as he did. I am goin(f to tell you what he said. I had spokea in praise of yon, and he replied. "1 am a Very fortunate man, I have a very perfect married life. Mrs. How ard was but a very young girl whea wo were married, and she had a great deal to learn. But now there is ne one I know who has more poise, more real Kindness of heart; who is a more perfect hostess, or makes her home the his freedom; or require him to lose restful place she does.

That one that I say my married life is perfect." eould not destroy another's individual ity and be happy." "Oh I never would do that!" Julia laughed, "He might retaliate and that never would do." That night we went to hear Pader ewski play. I never had heard him, and was overjoyed at the opportunity. But when after the concert Mr. Bab cock presented him I said to Mrs. Bab cock: "it was worth leaving the babies for." How she laughed. "I imagine yon are a sort of hero worshipper, aren't you?" My eyes filled with happy tear as I bado my hostess good bye.
