SHOULD USE OREGON WATER POWER

But few days ago corporation formed in this
state with capital Of million dollars for the purpose
of making nrates from the air. Its place of business is
Bend the Deschutes river where there an abundant
water power The amount of the capital indicates the
industry will be begun large scale. 1t is something
the should have gone into long ago. and no
doubt would have done had not lot of little pinheaded
politicians in congress wanted to get the plants located
not where water power was abundant and cheap but
where some Of their constituents would get rake off for
some dinky little water rights Peewee creek Ii some
of the restrictions the of water now running to
waste here in Oregon removed and the government
would give some assurance that the companies would be
protected and their plants taken by the government
at the end of the war; if the government itself did not
want to go into the business now dozen such companies
that at Bend would soon be operating The way to con-
4Jve water is to use it. When it has passed down the
mountains and reached the sea- not Secretary Lane
can bring it back, nor he it. It is dead waste
doing not the Hon. Pnchot any good other than to
help keep him in the limelght.

of intelligent recognition is in his eyes,
gentlemen-I feel that the operation

The doctors in the encircling seats,
for whose instruction the great Ever

extremely hazardous operation of re-
moving a portion of APPEL Strudel IS
wuxpannum and sewing it to his twid-

fel Strudel sat up on the operating ta-
BILE and looked about him dazedly. For
six years victim of aphasia, his mem

"Who-where am 1922 he murmured
jaxtrously.
"You are Apful Strudel, Apful Stru-

have been operated upon because you
completely forgot your name, the mem
bers of your family, and everything
about yourself except your meal times.
APPEL Strudel nodded vaguely.
'EThat g So I'M Apful Strudel-Ap-
fel Twozberry Strudel. And you say

"You have wife," replied DR.. Ever
glades. "Don It you remember her name
is Henrietta and she weighs 800 pounds
And you have eleven children that you
can now begin to support again, and a
mother-in-law.
APPEL Strudel's face lighted up with
complete recognition, and then darken'

"And had the good luck to forget

And 1eaping up he seized the operat
ing table, and broke it in hundred
pieces over the great doctors head, and
fled out into the night never to return

To the Men and Women OF Hancock

Do you know that the United States
is already one of the allies?
Do you know that by withholding
your dollar from the Red Cross you
hinder your work?
Do you know that the payment of a
dollar obligates you to no work?
Doyou know that Athens, Ca, has
1000 members in it's Red Gross, and
there was no canvassing.
Do you know that if your boy does
not go to the war, some ones boy does
go?
Do you know that the cry from every
country is for supplies from the Red
Cross?
Do you know that your dollar helps
buy supplies?
Do you know that a few women are
anxious to work?
Do you know that the Red Cross is
the only source by which the sick SOL
dier can have the treatment of home?
Do you know that the Red Cross
nurse and Red Cross supplies are the
only instrumentalities that bring back
the home touch to the sick and wound
ed soldiers?
Do you know that the government
cannot buy these aids?
Do you know that you ought to help
now with your dollar?
The population of Athens, Ca, is A.
913, and their Red Cross membership is
1000.
Our population, including Waveland,
is about 5000; our membership should
at least be 600. Let US not be found
wanting; join now. We cannot form a
chapter unless we have large enough
membership.

SOUTH MISS. CAN
FURNISH T|MbERS
Culfport. Nav 16

It was stated yesterday in dis
patch from New Orleans that only
fifteen mills in the south were
equipped to furnish timbers sixty feet
long which forms a requirement in
the specifications for the vessels to be
built by the United States.
It may be true that there are only
fifteen mills in the south equipped to
cut timber of that dimension" said a
well known Gulfport man this morn
ing, 'but | want to say that at least
seven of them are in South Missis-
sippi and four are in the coast coun-
ties. The South Mississippi mills are
equipped to cut big timber for the
reason that much of their business is
export and much of this business calls
for large timber.
mills in South Mississippi equipped
20 cut sixty-foot timbars are those of
Newman at Hattiesburg, Finkbine at
D'Lo, Dantzler at Moss Point, Weston
at Logtown, Eastman Gardner at
Laurel, and Hines-Dantzler at Kiln.
It is possible that the mill at Bond
and another mill or two at Moss Point
can also handle the timber wanted p
Il is also stated that there is a
large shortage of timber in Harrison
and Pearl River Counties that will
cut sixty feet and better.
