CHOOSING WRONG
TRAIL IS FATAL
Rev. c. A. Decker Uses Story
of Lot as Example of Mod
ern Mems Ways.

The Bible quotation, he pitched
his tent toward SOdom.' tells the
whole story OF the downfall OF Lot,
and will point the moral Of my text -
declared Rev Charles 4. Decker,
pastor OF the First Baptist church
Main and Wayne SITS, in opening his
sermon on The story Of a Back
slider" before a large a 1dience last
evening Rev Mr. Decker drew a
comparison between Lot and the
modern man who sacrifices all that
is good and true for things Of this
world. In part he said:
Lot is ore OF the subordinate
characters OF the Bible but his life
teaches "a great lesson. He had a
good start In life, and good family
connections. He was the nephew Of
Abraham, one or the splendid men
of antiquity And Abraham helped
Lot in every way, even 20 coming
10 his defense when he was pressed
by an enemy. But Lot made "A bad
choice. When the time came for
him 10 seek his own fortune apart
from his uncle. ne chose 10 go in
the direction Of the cities that were
we'll known as the centers of iniqui-
ty. he pitched his tent toward
Sodom. and SOdOm did not have in

even that number the city would not
have been destroyed
Lot Was Selfish.
Lots trouble began with selfish
ness. He was wei TO do but he
wanted 10 accumulate more wealth.
He chose the fertile plains in which
10 pasture the nOcks. and finally he
could not resist the appeal of the
wicked city in the neighborhoOd.
His choice TO go In the direction
Of Sodom was made in the wrong
spirit There was no reference 70
spiritual advantages. It frequently
happens in our time that a man will
make the choice of life work with
out any regard for the finer things
of life The dream of wealth must
be realized even at the expense OF
the soul. Here is where men make
the great mistake. They have an
idea that they can run their own af-
fairs independent of God. But 70

A general strike Of all crafts OF

SHORTAGE OF PAPER

~ N April 5 an order issued
VI in Paris to save and gath
er papers and bits of pa
per of all kinds-newspapers,
wrapping papers, writing pa
per, old books and records
everything of the genus papy-
rus except soiled scraps.
The Figaro in publishing the
order, states that newspapers
can hardly continue publica-
ton under the prevailing pri-
Ces due to shortage that can
only be relieved by ensemble
action on the part of the pub
lie.
The greatest consumer of
paper is the ammunition man.
ufacturer, as all cartridges are
wrapped in paper, or put in
cartons, made Of paper.
The newspaper claims that
the momentary shortage could
be relieved by saving illustrat-
ed sheets and daily papers, as
the printers ink does not stand
in the way, nor the common
writing ink.
In Lyons, where the people
have been gathering papers
since three months, 70 to 80
compressed bundles are deliv-
cred to the government each
day. Not only is the collection
and quick disposal of papers
an element of saving, but it is
one of cleanliness as well.

AMERICANISM FIRST

TN MS able keynote speech
yesterday Martin Glynn
drew q truthful picture of
condition Inder the Wilson
administration. The policy of
the president with reference to
European affairs has been in
accord with The best American
principles and traditions. He
has followed in the footsteps
Of Washington, Lincoln and
Grant he follows the path
Of neutrality but where our
rights a.a nfringed upon he
calls the offending nation to
time.
Ii so happens that the most
fragrant outrages against Am
orleans in the present war have
been Jy Germany. 1t was the
sworn duty Of the president to
act and he did so with vigor
and firmuess. His position was
30 sound that the German gov
enment admitted the justice
of ms contentious and altered
its submarine policy to comply
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-06-15

with the rights Of neutral citi-
zenS under international law
But some German-AmericanS
in this country are not willing
to follow the lead of the Ger
man government in this mat
ter. They put misguided love
of Germany above love of Am
erica. They denounce Presi-
dent Wilson for having per-
formed a plain and solemn duty
for the American people. They
are in league to defeat him and
to this end are working through
a well trained organization in
80 states of the union.
1t is the open boast of the
German-American alliance that
they were largely responsible
for the defeat of Roosevelt at
Chicago and the nomination
of Hughes. They are now for
Hughes and against Wilson,
German papers published in
this country denounce the pres
ident in most vehement terms.
Often their abuse is scurrilous
and insulting not only to the
president but to the nation.
The German-American pro-
cedure is monumental blum
der. 1t is a line of action that
truly Americanized Germans
Icannot stand for. The stars
and stripes must be paramount
in this country. The president
has stood for neutrality, not
for favoritism to any belliger-
ent. No foreign influence
should be enjected into the
politics of this nation and it is
intolerable than an organiza-
ton like the German-American
alliance should be trying to die
tate who shall be president of
the United States.
At present this feature of
the presidential campaign is
uppermost. 1t is a situation to
make men think and they are
thinking. 1t may or it may not
be his fault but Mr.. Hughes is
in an awkward position. If
the situation continues as it is
at present the republican NOM
inee cannot expect to have and
he will not have the support of
the millions of voters who ir-
of party ties stand
first of all for America and
American principles.

ong the line of a presidential
primary, $40 high school stu
dents cast their ballots in IA
vor of the present chief eXecu-
tive, while Roosevelt took sec
ond place with 255 votes.
Of tn latter, 133 votes went
to Roosevelt as a candidate on
the republican ticket, and 122
as a progressive. Hughes ran
a very poor third with a vote
cf 80, while Ford, who ran
fourth, tailed only 21. john

an received one vote each.
Stating the results in another
way, there were 351 votes for
the democratic icket, 1876 fol
the progressives and 189 for
the republicans.
While the ballot at Pasade-
ma was taken prior to the con-
ventions the results are never
theless sufficient to show that
Wilson has a lead that no op-
ponent can hope to overcome
when consideration is given to
the fact he needs only a few
northern or western states to
make his election certain.

ming in the home was very difficult
process with only questionable sue
cess. There is no vegetable Tor trultl
which cannot be successfully canned
in the home by using the cold pack
process of canning.
This is simple process in which
the material is blanched, dipped in
cold water, packed into jars and ster~
ilized The length of time for blanch-
ing and sterilizing depends upon the
type of fruit or vegetable (texture,
condition, degree of maturity. etc.,
There are two factors which make
for success in canning: first the fresh
ress of the material (the shortest pos
sible time should elapse between pick.
ing and canning) and second, careful
sterilization. Sterilization is an ex-
act process. The agents which cause
the destruction or the spelling OF the
materials are killed only when certain
conditions are fulfilled (such as GER
tain fixed time of boiling or steriliz-
ing.) =,
Success is possible only when the
rules for sterilizing are fully carried
out. Full directions for canning BY
the cold pack process are given in F,x'
tension Bulletin No. 3, which may be
obtained upon request to the Exten'
sion Department, N. D. A. c.

MAKOTI MAN BADLY INJURED

Gilbert Farnaas was very badly
injured near his home ten miles south
Of Makoti last Sunday while cutting
grain.
Something went wrong with the
sickle and while Farnaas was fixing it
the horse became frightened, starting
the machine and amputating one foot
and cutting the other to the bone be-
fore the horses could be stopped. The
horses are said to have become fright
ened at the hired man, who was just
coming up to where Farnaas was
working. He stopped the frightened
team as soon as possible, but not soon
enough to prevent the terrible acct
dent. Farnaas was hurried to the
house and DR.. Ruddell was Immediate
ly summoned. When the doctor ar
rived the patient was very weak but
after the shock was over he soon gain
ed strength and is still improving as
we'll as can be expected. His crop will
not suffer as the whole neighborhood
have turned out, cutting and shocking
his grain and putting up his hay.

In the summer time the garden fur,

material. A similar amount should
be available in the winter time, in or:
der to maintain a properly BALANCED

is best accomplished by canning the
surplus of the garden. The fact tha'
