PORTLAND.

The secretary addressed a large audienee here. and said, in part.
 "The war department has registered nearly ten million men of fighting age. During the next three months the department Of agriculture and the federal food administrator expect like wise to register women's army of food conservers, twenty million strong
 "The French housewife always as- pires to be a food artist, to put food on the table in such quantities as to stimulate the appetite, while at the same time satisfying it. Quality sather than quantity has always been her standard. Until the American woman learns to take as much pride in house hold efficiency and thrift as in the past she has taken in profusion, pro. digiality and waste. little progress will be made in this direction. And evenI after the housewives Of the nation have become imbued with the highest ideals in this matter, the great task will then confront them. of educating their cooks and their men folk up to the same standards. In time of peace food waste was reprehensible, but in time Of war; food waste is not only reprehensible. but it is despicabIe and disloyaL
 "If our farmers do not produce enough food, if our people do not u'i- llze and conserve that food efficient l ly, more people will die of starvation in Europe during the year that is to come than have been slain in 95ttle during the year that is mast.

NORTH AMERICAN HOTEL COM.
PANY DISCUSSES SEMI
ANNUAL DIVIDEND
JULY 4,
Big Hotel Corporation With Con
eraI offices at Omaha Has
Many Buildings Under Way
Involving Investment Of
Millions Of Dollars,
FINEST CHAIN OF HOTEL
PROPERTIES IN COUNTRY

Stockholders of the North AM
erican Hotel Company, the big
corporation which is at the pres
ent time very actively engaged in
establishing chain of modern
hotels throughout the middle west
in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and
adjacent states, are receiving
their regular semi-annual divi-
dend of 3 per cent, which was dis
bursed on July 1st.
The North American Hotel
Company has attracted attention
far and wide on account of the
many fine buildings it is erect
ing. At the present time the
buildings under construction at
kearney, Grand Island and
Scottsbluff, Nebraska, and at
Hampton, Iowa, are progressing
rapidly-and in the offices of the
architects plans are being rushed
so as to enable the commence
ment of hotel buildings at Sioux
City, Iowa, at Norfolk and Ogal-
lala, Nebraska, and at several
points in Kansas at an early date.
The North American Hotel
Company is establishing one of
the largest chains of modern,
thoroughly up-to-date hotels in
the country here in the middle
west, which is very much in need
of this very thing. Scores of
commercial clubs and other or
CARNATIONS and individuals are
making the strongest kind of in
ducements to this company in an
attempt to have lNorlh American
Hotel Company's buildings and
service located in their commun-
ities-many offering to subscribe
heavily for stock and thus assist
in raising the capital required in
their construction.
The North American Hotel
Company, which is incorporated
under the Iowa state laws, is fl
nanced very largely by Iowa, Ne
braska and Kansas investors, and
the management of this corpora
ton is in the hands of group
of middle-west business men,
who have been very successful In
the conduct of large business en- s
terprises.

Sunnyside was the scene of
merry party last evening when
twenty girls arrived about 1880,
in response to invitations sent
out earlier in the week, to assist
in celebrating the fifteenth birth
day of Miss Ellen Brown. After
greetings were exchanged the
girls were instructed to form in
a line three abreast and walk
once around the house, and the
ones who took the fewest steps in
getting around would have the
pleasure of planning all of the
games for the evening. Misses
Katherine and Gertrude Madsen
and Grace Briggs were the lucky
ones and from that time on until
the, close of the evening kept the
crowd we'll entertained. In one of
the games of forming words out
of mixed letters, Miss Beulah
Middleton won a prize of very
pretty picture. At 10 O'Clock Mr..
and Mrs. Brown, assisted by Miss
Alice Harker, served an excellent
two course supper, each table be-
ing prettily decorated in red,
white and blue.
During the evening Miss Ellen
received many beautiful gifts in
honor of the occasion. The out
of-town guests were Miss Kath-
crime Madsen, Payette, Ida; Miss
Gertrude Madsen, Fremont, Neb.,
and Miss Beulah Middleton of

tached to the office of munich
pal swineherd, it is not improb-
able that Col. Bishop, superin-
tendent of the incinerator, would
consent to take the job. He
has had experience as a double
barrelled boy and, since the stern
old state Of Minnesota relieved
him of his snap as deputy boiler
inspector, he has had but one bar
rel to his job. Another would
tit as snugly as bug in a rug.
Commissioner Silberstein did
not enthuse much over the pig
gerry proposition, so far as could
be observed. He was reared to
look on the pig as an unclean
animal, chiefly suitable as a
place Of refuge for devils driven
out Of human beings. Then, too,
ne has been so annoyed by blind
pigs grunting on Superior street
since the town went dry that he
takes no pleasure in hearing the
word "pig" mentioned.
It a few tender hoglets were
secured this fall and immured in
a. piggery out by the old inciner-
ator, it is not likely that they
would suffer for they could
warm their feet at the incinera-
tor from heat generated by the
burning of eggs, onions, and
other edible vegetables, kindly
supplied by the Food Monopolists
of Michigan street.
Since the piggery bug has
taken such a firm hold of Com
missioner Farrel's mind, many
are wondering why he insisted
on having control of the -city's
garbage business and then, after
a couple of months, dropped it
like a hot potato, "passing the
buck" to commissioner Silber-
stein.
Many fear that commissioner
Farrell failed to look carefully
around the corner towards the
spring election in 1919, otherwise
he would have seen a little armv
OF pig-nurses and swineherds,
holding jobs under the commits
sioner Of public works, and
therefore, owing him their votes.
Since this piggery plan was
sprung, the believers in that pro-
gressive principal, the municipal
ownership Of Public Futilities,
have perked up a whole lot.
Since the collapse of the Zoo,
they actually have been down
hearted
