ENORMOUS BUILDINGS
FOR ARMY OFFICERS

One of the manifold problems pre-
sented by the war is that of furnishing
adequate Office accommodations fur the
thousands of additional officials, clerks,
and other federal servants who are
pouring into Washington. The gov
ernment is exercising its perogative in
this direction and has Communicated
conveniently located Office buildings
and apartment houses with a free
hand. In addition, it is erecting huge
temporary structures for use as offices,
and in the building of these contract
ors are breaking time records for con-
struction work. A building to house
the six hundred officials and clerks of
the Council of National Defense, con-
tanning more than 100, 900 square feet
of floor space, was erected and fully
equipped in So days. Similar buildings
nearby are for the use of the forces of
the food administration, fuel admins
tration, and army ordnance. Work is
well under way on mammoth struc-
ture which will cover three city blocks
to house the overflow of the war and
navy departments, the contrast for
which calls for completion in four
months.
BY these methods the government
keeps in advance of its actual needs.
At the present rate of increase the
usual 35, 900 federal employees in WASH
ington will be more than doubled il
the war continues another year. Work.
ers of all kinds are being appointed,
stenographers and typewriters and
craftsmen for the service generally,
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 ordnance department
of the army, being in great demand.
Representatives of the federal civil
service commission at the post offices
in all cities are the official recruiting
agents for the great civilian army, an
army of half million behind the men

LAWYERS TO HELP
WITH QUESTIONABLE

Every man registered for the draft
will be sent QUESTIONABLE in the next
two or three weeks that he must fill
out and return within seven days to
his local exemption board.
These questionnaires are long and
the answers of some of the questions
NAV require considerable study. But
though Uncle Sam will insist that all
the questions be answered he is going
to safeguard the rights of every man
by providing him with free legal as
sistance and advice in writing out his
answers.
To this end the government is about
TO mobilize all the lawyers of the
country for patriotic service. The
mobilization will be voluntary, but ev-

take charge of this work within each

sugar purchases in Oregon. Grocers
are permitted to sell but 81 worth to
any customer. To farmers residing In
remote sections as much as rs pounds

Because of the world shortage Of
sugar and the urgent need of conserv-
ing the present supply in the United
States, so that we may respond, in q
measure at least, to the appeals of our
allies for additional sugar, the United
States Food Administration has re-
stricted the use uf this commodity for
the manufacture of candies to SO per
cent of the amount nor mally used.
This restriction is being drastically en-
forced through government supervision
of wholesalers and their inventoried
supplies. With the holiday season APP
preaching, the confectioners of the
United States are facing the problem
of meeting the largest demand of the
year with so per cent of their most es-
sential Ingredient curtailed.

says:
1--WE should like to call attention to
the spirit of the union Thanksgiving
service to be held at the Methodist
church Thursday morning at 1890
O'Clock. Attendants will find absence
of sectarian religious thought, but will
breathe the atmosphere of the greatest
of all religious ideals-that of democ-
racy. The service will be champion
ship of those national and international
ideals in whose name we have entered
the war. Our attendance may be
thought of as a unique patriotic SER
vice to the highest ideals of civiliza-
| tion, and one more factor in helping
win the minds of men and women to
the essential principles of international
brotherhood.
The words of MIR. Longbrake's song
are as follows:
Our National Thanksgiving.
To God, our only King,
Thanksgiving praise we bring,
To Thee alone.
Thou King DER all the earth,
Let Thy eternal worth
Be known to all mankind
For e'er and aye.
For food and earthly store,
Rich harvests the earth DER,
We give Thee thanks.
Thou from Thy bounty gave
To men from hunger save,
Great gratitude to Thee,
Kind Providence.
Thou God of Liberty,
We pledge our loyalty
For all mankind
Life and prosperity
That the whole world may see
That God and right shall reign
Ger all the earth.
With Freedoms banner bright,
Whose stars and stripes the right
FOre'er shall stand;
For men whose cry and groan,
And not for us alone,
We fight in warfare brave
Their right to save.
Hear Thou our prayer and VOW
We bring before Thee now;
Save the whole earth
From tyrants' awful heel;
10 all men bring Thy veal,
And Thine own will reveal
In Thy dear Name.
Thus would we give to Thee
Praise for prosperity,
Giver of life.
Our thanks in life we give,
Our sons that men should live,
Orr offering now we give
For all the earth.

Gray Whale Still Lives.

Half II century ago the gray whale,
known on the West coast as the devil
fish, appeared there in numbers every
year. coming so close inshore that the
Indians often killed the great sea crca-
lures from their canoes. Later the
whales changed their route, ana trnv-
eled far out To sea. but there whalcrs
found them ana the whales won their
name Of devillish hy the courage and
strength they showed In destroying the
bonts of the hnrpooners. Finally they
disappeared, and We're believed extinct
until 1912, when Roy Chapman An.
drews, naturalist of the American
Museum Of Natural History discovered
that the gray whale is still abundant
