WASHINGTON OFFERS
MUCH TO YOUTH

To the young man or woman who
seeks to obtain q college degree and a
livelihood at the same time, no city in
the country offers an opportunity more
attractive than that to be found in the
national capital. The several univer-
sites at Washington provide evening
classes with hours arranged conven-
iently for government employees, who
ordinarily complete their days work
at half past four and all libraries, in
cluding the Library of Congress, are
open at night.
For years thousands of youngspeople
have entered the civil service at WASH
ington with the main idea of devoting
three or four years to equipping them
selves for a professional or scientific
career while supporting themselves.
Many of the young men live at frater-
ity houses, comparatively conducted,
thereby lessening the living expense
and also securing q place where they
can entertain their friends.
In addition to the university courses,
the Young Mems Christian Association
and private schools conduct evening
classes in technics, languages, account
ancy, stenography and typewriting,
and the usual high school studies.
Notwithstanding the drafts for mill
tary service, practically all schools in
Washington show an increased enroll
ment this year. This is due to the
great influx incident to the war. Ten
or twelve thousand new clerks and
other employees have been appointed in
the departments and this great civilian
army is being added to daily. Stenog-
raphers and typewriters and mechani-
cal craftsmen tor the service gener-
ally, and what are known as schedule
clerks, index and catalog clerks, clerks
qualified in statistics or accounting,
and clerks qualified in business admin.
istration for the Office of the ordnance
department Of the army are in
demand.
The representatives of the federal
civil service commission at the post
Offices in all cities are receiving nu.
merous inquiries from persons who
wish to be at the seat of government
at this time of big events and to have
part in the actual administration of
the governments great business.
Women are finding in this Office work
an opportunity to "do their bit" in a
very practical way.

ARE YOU KEEPING
The FOOD PLEDGE?

Now that we have signed the food
conservation pledge, just what are we
going to do about keeping it,
This is a question that We should all
ask ourselves, and If we are good
Americans the answer will be emphat-
ic-we are going to comply conscien-
tiously with the conditions of the
pledge every day, and at every meal.
Food saving is the immediate and
urgent duty of every man, woman and
child in civilian life. 1t has been asked
by our government, and it is a neces.
sity for the success of this war.
The fact that food conservation in
the United States is not compulsory
but is merely asked as a volunteer SER
vice should be an unfailing appeal to
Americanism. If you are behind your
government you will keep your pledge
and be glad Of the opportunity to eat a
little less of the prescribed foods in
order that the underfed women and
children of our Allies may have more ;
also that the men fighting our battles
at the front may be abundantly sup.
piled with lighting fuel. "
= lnere are many DtdnCHco VI oCiNiSS
in Uncle Sans army. The food con-
servation service is the only branch
open to every man, woman and child
in the nation. The enlistment should
be 100 per cent, and each enlistment
should mean definite saving Of
wheat, meat, sugar and fats. the four
staples of which there is a world
shortage and which must be supplied
by the United States to our allies in
this war against war.
After signing the Hoover pledge, it
is left with you personally to keep it.
Your pledge is wholly an affair of
honor. There is no one appointed to
watch you and see that you keep it,
except yourself.
Are you ''on the job?"

DEATH OF VALLAND-
INCHAM RECALLED

A relic of his schoolboy days, DR..
Jesse Edgington, county health officer,
has dug up from an old trunk q photo
graph of Clement L. Vallandingham,
who during the Civil War was a thorn
in the side of all loyal and working
for the preservation Of the Union.
On the back Of the old photograph
DIR. Edgington scribbled the following

presence of lawyers and friends he
shot himself accidentally in his rooms
in the hotel"
81 was a student at the Lebanon
Normal school," says DR.. Edgington.
'Vallandingham was there to defend a
man charged with murder. He and
some of the attorneys had been out
with revolvers in an effort to demon
strate that the victim, Of whose mur-
der the defendant in the case was &C.
cused, had shot himself. Back in the
room he was talking to attorneys and
friends and in telling them his version
of the tragedy he picked up from one
of two revolvers, thrusting it in his
coat pocket. The hammer caught the
edge of his garment and was pulled
backward. When it struck the pin Of
the gun, the cartridge was exploded
and Vallandingham was killed by a
bullet striking almost the same spot as
the one that had killed the victim in
the case he was discussing.
"R. p. Orr. formerly of Hood River
but now resident of Portland, was
also in Lebanon at the time. He occu-
pied room just across the lobby from
Vallandingham and heard the shot.

Owing to the number of otherwise

United States Marine Corps for fiat

During exercises at all times turn
the toes in.
Walk with toe of each foot pointing
to the front; in straight line, if pos.
slble.
Stand with toes turned in; raise
body on toes, slowly, as high as possi-
BILE. Rest second, then with weight
of body borne on toes, lower slowly
down to floor, and repeat.
When in the house in stocking feet.
walk on .toes; heel not touching the
floor, and toes turned in.
When sitting, cross the legs, the
foot always resting on the outer sides.
The wearing of broad toe shoes with
the metal ''arch supporter" absolutely
abandoned, also is advocated.

A GOOD INVESTMENT

How much would not most any of us
give of all the material things we
possess to bring an end to the rgreat
war tomorrow? All of US would 20
the limit.
We were doing that very thing when
we contributed to the Y. M. C. A..
fund. We were doing this when we
gave to the Red Cross fund a few
months ago. Not, understand. that
the war may be brought to an end to-
morrow or the next day, but our con-
tributions. the cheerfulness of our
unity. the material evidence of our un-
divided support of our administration,
all of these things back of our great
army are helping to bring the war to
a close all the sooner.
It is also true that in arriving at
that day of rewards, the day of VIC
tory, we may have to pass, as Lloyd
George has said, through the dark
valley. But the valley of peace with
the fostering sunshine of democracy
will follow all the sooner if every
American does his part in backing
with his spirit and his money the fight
we are in.
And the millions of us Americans
are going the limit to help win the
war. Just as the money placed in Lib
erty Bonds, SO. we realize, are those
smaller sums given, freely lcontibuted,
most excellent investments, for they
will bring to ourselves and posterity
the fruits of the victory we are seek
ing and will win.
