each person there as we have. The
friend of the soldier boy eats no
more than he needs, puts no more ON
his plate than he eats, sees that moth
ing fit to eat goes to the garbage
pail, sees that his family eats the
food that can not go to France and
spares the food that can go TO
France
"That makes the kaiser sad and
helps the soldier boy. 1t helps the
soldier boy twice. First, it saves
food that may be sent to Europe, and,
second, it saves money to buy Lib
erty bond to build a ship to carry the
food across the ocean. We might say
that it helps the soldier boy three
times, because it helps win the war
in a shorter time, and that by saw
ing and working we will win the war.

OF the latter, and they are as neces-
sary in their place as the heavier.
II is a physiological and philosoph-
ical fact that there is no rest to com
pare with the rest of change. The
day laborer, with body tissues ex-
hausted and spent with fatigue, re-
quires absolute inaction to recuper-
ate his force. The man of sedentary
habits, confined within office walls
and to his chair or his bench, finds
greatest relief in physical exertion,
ranging all the way from mild to
strenuous. The student of heavy sci
ence or philosophy will soon 90 stale
on steady diet of these things, and
is only relieved by a liberal dash Of
their opposites
Close observers Of men and events
have noted that during the first few
months Of the war the people OF
France we're absorbed by the more
serious business of repulsing the in
yaders and amusements we're given
but little attention. Later on, how
ever, when the tension began to tell
on the nerves Of the people, there was
Q gradual revival Of the lighter phase

of life, until now all over that coun-
try the comedy of life is as much in
evidence as the tragedy The joke
and the quip, the songs of the cabaret
and the jazz tunes are as popular in
the trenches as in the amusement
centers of Paris.
That this demand for change is
universal in humanity is evidenced
very strikingly in the life of fam
GUS American humorist who, sated
with his own wit, always found re-
taxation in study of the heavy phi
losophies, while another was an ac-
complished student of eastern
mythology.
We are told that the lower ami
mails have no sense of humor yet
from the least to the greatest Of
these the desire for recreation and
play is prominent, To even their lin
tied intelligence it is accepted as one
of the necessities of life.
There is no escaping the fact that
the bore, the pedant and crank, aud
the all round nuisance is the person
who has gotten in a groove and has
lost the ability or the inclination for
change Such a person must be a
burden even to himself

THE HUMAN NEED OF RECREA-
TION

There are many good souls whC,
in this hour of the nations trial,
would have the people eschew the
lighter things of life and give undi-
vided attention to the serious busl-
ness in hand. This is all very well
in the main, and we would not tor
the world attempt to discourage any
in such a course. Still there are lin
its within which the human mind as
well as the human body must work.
There is a homely old saying that
"all work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy" This is true, from the
cradle to the grave.
The human mind is closely akin 20
the human stomach. Each, to do its
best work, must have a groundwork
of solid diet. The strength and viril-
ity of each comes from the heavier
foods, and would not long survive on
the frothy viands. Yet there is need

County Clerk E. H. Lenox is busy
with the changes in boundaries in
election precincts in this county, says
the Roseburg Review Under the
law the clerk maps out the boundary
changes, his action needing the sane
tion of the county court to make it
legal. The eight incorporated towns
in Douglas county outside of Rose
burg will each be set aside as sepa-
rate precincts. The residents of ter

the voters have usually voted within

to vote at new polling place located

There is some indication that
Douglas county broccoli growers will
stampede and revolt from the annual
custom of selling their product
through consignment to commission
firms, as has been the practice dur
ing the past few years in which this
comparatively new crop, in com
mercial way at least, has been dis
posed of. That there is considerable
dissatisfaction with the past expert
ences among the growers in the sale
of the product on consignment was
clearly shown at the meeting of grow
ers held at the store of A. J. Lilburn
& Son. where a dozen or more promi-
nent growers were assembled to dis
cuss the subject of the best way to
sell their crop. Practically every
grower who expressed himself be-
lieves that the business-like way to
sell the crop is to sell for cash on
board the cars at the home station,
even though the price received may
be less than that promised by COM
mission houses.-Roseburg Review.

Uncle Sam buys things for the SOL

way we can help the soldier boy is to
buy Liberty bonds. To buy Liberty
bonds you must save money. Save

the same as saving money, for with

LESSONS ON THRIFT
GIVEN IN SCHOOLS

School children in many cities are
being given lessons on thrift with the
object of developing deeper sense
of the Importance of saving to help
the nation in war The teachers in
these schools have been requested to
read the lessons, which have beel
prepared by the school mobilization
committee, and the pupils will be on
couraged to talk the matter over at
home The lesson on saving food
follows:
THE kaiser wants you to waste
waste food, waste coal, waste clothes,
waste time; in fact, he wants you to
waste anything and everything. He
also wants you to live in luxury, to
have new automobile, a new bicy-
Gle, a pair Of new skates, new rifle,
several new suits of clothes, and a
new pony and cart. He wants your
sister to have a new piano, fine fure,
sweater to match every dress,
hands full of jewelry, several pairs
of SIG shoes and a season box at the
opera. He wants your mother 10
have fine new dresses, several sery-
ants and chauffeur, and he wants
your father to build fine new house
right away and also to build a ney
hotel.
"Is the kaiser very tender of you?
Not at all; but he prays to his God
that you may have these things. He
wants you to have all these things
because he knows that if you do have
them our soldier boys in France win

NEED OF ECONOMY AND SAVING

When we put million and half
soldiers in the field we withdraw
those men from productive enter
prises. They do not while they are
actually in training or in service pro-
duce anything, They do, on the 9TH
er hand, consume much. There is
nothing more expensive on earth than
TO support and maintain a great army
in the field, especially if it is on the
fighting line. The attrition of sup
plies and everything else is tremen-
dously great when we have fighting
army in the field.
America is the one great remaining
storehouse in the world of supplies
and credit. We must maintain and
make effective as possible our own
soldiers and the soldiers of those ma
tions who are fighting for us. We
must therefore draw as little as possi-
BILE upon our common store of sup
plies and money. The more we lessen
our domestic demand, the more we
can contribute to the support and eff
fectiveness of our allied armies.
Economy is now national duty,
such duty upon the people at home
as fighting is upon those Americans
who are bravely offering their lives
for the honor of America and the
preservation of liberty and justice.

before you make me report on
him, ascertain what can be proven
relative to his age, by the school
census, the school teachers daily
records, the trustees recorks, the
family physician and midwife who
may have waited on the mother
at birth, the near neighbors, the
family bible Of the young man in
volved, church baptismal records,
public birth records, and any
other record or circumstance
which suggests itself to you as
establishing his age. Gather all

and get reports to me at the very
earliest convenient date.
Please communicate this infor-
