BUSINESS AS USUAL" IMPOSSIBLE

There has been considerable discussion as to what
Americans should pursue as to changing their
methods and habits during war time. One element IN
sists that business should go usual while others
think there should be general crtalment OF eXpendl
lures and Of economy. Both partly right and
vet each is wholly wrong They partly right In
theory but wrong in its application. In the first place
there be such thing business usual because
business will necessarily be very unusual There al
ready great activities along lines that are absolutely new
the building of two thirds of billion dollars worth OF
aeropanes for example On top Of this the country must
produce the things needed for the and this means
that it must produce in round numbers some fifteen bl-
lion dollars worth of something that it has not produced
before In other words this country must produce some
thing at the rate of $3.50 year for each person big OF
little, old or young within its borders The actual pro-
duceIs the workers. will have to produce at the rate OF
perhaps $500 year than usual This cannot be
done with business as usual If by that term is meant
that there should be change in buying either IN
quantity or quality it is false conception of conditions
That those who have the means should not suddenly be-
come miserly is true but the government will need the
use for while at least of most of the looms in the coun
try for the purpose of clothing its vast army will be
proper in this to curta purchases OF material that
will shorten this production That does not mean tnat we
shall go without clothes but that must perhaps change
their character and get along with something else
There are other lines in which the changes should
be made We must curail of certain foodstufs
such as -four sugar perhaps bacon and hog products
and all other foodstufs easily shipped to our allies we
must here in clothing something else that cannot
be shipped such fruits, vegetables and perlshable
gtufs especially We must these by canning
and driving and saving every of foodstus possible
Most of us will not go to the front but we must tight IN
that way by holding up the hands of those either our own
bows or those in the ranks of the allied armies, by de-
privng ourselves of some things we have considered
necessare that they may have plenty At the best they
cannot have what will be left to select FROM but If they
could it would still be our first duty to let them have the
first chance at it, Business should go on as nearly as
usual as circumstances will permit but the tremendous
task before the American people will efectuay prevent
it being the same as before we entered the war

That most successful of all remedies
for woman's ailments, Lydia E. Pink
ham 8 Vegetable Compound, owes its
origin to a botanic recipe which camo
into the possession of Lyu4a E. Pink

This recipe had proved so effective in
the practise of skilled physician that
Mrs. Pinkham procured the herbs and
stepped and prepared them in true old
time fashion on her kitchen stove for
her friends and neighbors who suffered

the virtues of this wonderful medicine

the standard remedy for woman's ills.

IS IT A MENAcEq
(Bend. Oreo. Press

kBcnu, Urea. HrcSSl
Is the I. W. w. organization a men
ace to organized society, or is it merely
an expression of discomfort in a viru
lent form which will pass in its time
as other expressions of discomfort have
passed in the history of the world.
That 1t is possible for the mind Of
the average American to accept the
doctrine of the /. W. W.. when once
he fully understands the aims and pur.
poses of the organization, does not seem
tcnable
! The purpose of its existence as set
forth IN the preamble of its eonstitu-
/ tion and bylaws is the abolishing of the
wage system. To effect this end they
! advocate every means. Those who think
! that the ]. w. w. do not advocate vio-
lenee to property as a means of securing
their aims have not delvcd very deeply
into the working of the organization.
To be an |. w. w. means something.
First, it means a contempt for belief
in the existence of Divine Power. Not
only is it necessary for the individual
to have no belief, but he must deride
all beliefs.
Second, it means discarding all ma
tional boundary lines. The L. W. w. as
an organization publishes papers in
some ten or twelve languages and has
established branches in practically cv-
cry nation. 1t denounces patriotism for
any country as delusion and would oh
Tliterate all national boundaries. To the
extent to which this is carried is be-
yond the comprehension of those who
have not made the organization an oh
Jeet of study and is mildly illustrated
by poem appearing in one of their
publications year or two ago called
"Old Glory a despicable satirical
treason Oh the American flag. They call
all flags rags and those who see in
them anything to inspire are openly
called nuts. There are many deep think
ing men who have become information
alists, for those we must have some re
spect, for it must be conceded by all
that the world was, prior to the war,
international to a marked degree in
financial and commercial ways, and was
tast tending toward greater inter
Today the world is inter
national to the extent that there are
but two great conflicting forces in it;
the resources of one hemisphere-com
agricultural and human-are at
the call of the other.
Third, the l. w. w. frankly tells the
world in their literature that the ques-
tion of right or "wrong does not
concern them.
In the bright lexicon of the l. W. W. |
there are no morals, although many of
them, their leaders particularly, lead
lives which would be termed moral in
the conventional sense, but none of
them hesitate to violate any law of man |
Or nature, if by so doing they think |
they are furthering their main purpose |

Geological Sharks
Find New Nature Book

University of California, July Ia
The discovery of the remains of extinct
camels, horses, deer and ground sloths
in the white bluffs along the Columbia
river in southern Washington, have en-
abled Professor John c. Merriam and
John 2. Buwalda, of the University of
California, TO decipher new chapter
in the rivers autobiography.
These bluffs have been regarded by
most geologists as of the same period
as the Ellensburg formation, which is
miocene. The professors, found fossil
remains of animals much farther aloEg
in the course of evolution than similar
animals found in the Ellensburg Form
alton. The professors have given the
formation of the White Bluffs tho
name of Ringold Formation" +" and the
university will undertake further ex-
ploration in that section.

Colonel Gantenbein
May Quit the Army

San Francisco, July 31.-The death
of his wife in Portland will probably
cause Judge Calvin U. Gantenben of
Portland to abandon his army career.
Judge Gantcnbein started for Port
land today having been given fifteen
day leave from the Preside reserve Of
ficers training camp.
Gantenbein declared before he left
that the necessity of caring for his
four sons and baby daughter, now left
mOtherlcss by the sudden death of Mrs.
Gantenbein yesterday, would probably
cause him to return to civil life per-
manently.
Judge Gantenbein recently declined a
commission as colonel and judge advo-
cate general of the Philippines depart
ment. He holds reserve commission

To my delight Mrs. Turner, Helen S

would take the apartment off our

"NIy husband is so sick of board
