Portland today is making everything else subser
vient to the welcoming of the members of the Grand
Army, the boys of 1SG1-G5. It is right that this should
t done, for the presence of the grand old men on the
coast at this time is an inspiration that will stir patriot
ism as nothing else can. Strong in spirit, though the
years are telling, these grand old men are representatives
of what the American flag stands for and for what Amer
ican ideals are. It is fifty-three years since their work
was completed, but as the years pass that work becomes
dearer to the American people, and those who performed
it are taken still closer to the hearts of all of us. They
are old men now in years, but young in spirit as they meet
and recall the labors and the sufferings of half a cen-

Great Britain has just sent an order to Australia for
000,000 crates of skinned rabbits. It will require 21,600,
000 rabbits to fill the order and the shipments will wreigh
18,000 tons. . These Australian jacks have been a pest just
as they live in some sections of the United States where
drives were organized for the purpose of destroying
them. Eighteen thousand tons of jack rabbit stew would
sure make some side dish.

With a million and a half soldiers in France, and an
other two million preparing to go over, the Prussian mil
itarists can readjust their arrangements for meeting
that "contemptible little American army." With the new
draft there will be plenty to make the five millions prom
ised for service next year, with plenty of reserves at home
drilled and ready to make good all losses. '

Governor Withycombe does not take kindly to the
suggestion of his consolidation commission that the
boards of regents of the state colleges he united. He says
he thinks it better that each should retain "its peculiar
individuality." He is correct. The peculiar individuality
which Presiden Kerr of the Oregon Agricultural College
has evolved for that institution should be kept within its
own campus. The other colleges should not be exposed
to infection.

infr into vivid lieht the nlcasant things of the long ago
Wo can lnnrrTi over nnd over attain at the things that
amused in the past, but we cannot suffer pain, or feel the
bitterness of sorrow the second time. And so the "boys"
of the Grand Army are again living over the pleasant
tilings, and recalling the past only to smile over it, albeit
sometimes with tremulous lips as some are recalled who
have passed over the big divide. Portland is honored by
Iheir presence, -and all the rest of the state although it
cannot be there to add to its greeting, is there in spirit
and just as heartily welcomes the veterans. Should any
.f them be able to visit other sections of the state before
returning to their eastern homes they will find the latch
string of every town, village and hamlet hanging out and
if not it will be because the doors will be wide open.
1 But a short time ago Austria was camouflaging her
peace talk with the statement that Rhe desired peace with
out annextations or indemnities. Now she wants an Aus
trian archduke made king of Poland. It is probable this
will be done, but considering the shortness of time the
successful one will remain in the king-row, it is hardly
worth taking the job. This also shows the falseness of
the Teuton declaration that Germany is fighting to save
herself, and that her war is for protection only. It shows
the determination to grab all she can get and no matter
under what circumstances the getting is done.
The governor' has some queer ideas, that somehow
tret their wires crossed. Recently he objected to the plan
suggested by George Rorigers of Astoria for employing
inmates of the prison in the shipyards, liecauso it would
bring them into competition with free labor. Now he
suggests that a plant for the manufacture of twine be
suutusnoa at me prison ior me purpuKv wi humus
twine, not from the flax which ho says wouTd le too ex
pensive, but from hemp brought from Manila. He over
looks the fact that tihs would bring the prison lalwr in
lirt'ct conflict with free labor.
Food Administrator Hoover says the quality of war
Iread will be improved, which means no doubt the quan
tity of substitutes required to be used will be decreased,
lie says there is a sufficiency of moats and fats, and that
with economy America will be able to supply all her allies
and carry over a surplus for a guard against possible
shortages next year.
Kaiser Wilhelm an Emperor Charles, of Austria had
a conference recently in which they are said to have leen

of it raising through bonds a nadditional sixteen billions
at the same time. A twenty-four billion dollar congress

The weather man is sure doing some strange stunts.
Jur,t think of it, rain in August and more coming. It is
a great thing for the potatoes, corn and vegetable crops,
and a boost for the summer pasture that will encourage
bossy to bring home at night her little reticule filled to
overflowing with the milk the human kind relv on. in
stead of that of human kindness. The clover patch and
the welcome rain sure make a combination hard to beat.

soak my ticker. But war has shown me it's a sin to
waste a single nickel, and now I take my hard earned

Ruth was about to tell Win they

bered that Brian was not rieh like Mrs.
Clayborne, and said nothing. But it seem
ea to nor tlint Brian, talked a good deal
about money, and how eareful they
must be for a while. She never had
heard money discussed. It waa there:
she had used it. That waa all there was
to it. That mad her think. Her noeket
book wat nearly empty. Her aunt had
not given her a very large amount in

do when she found she had to eeonomixc
and it was nearly gone. Would she
have t0 ask Brian for money f That
would be unbearable. But how else was
she to get it J She couldn't do mueh
