WHAT you MAY EXPECT.

A word from State Chairman Bryan
The loyal citizen may expect just
one thing after another. You have

power census of the state. Soon

sus fo' ages 16 to 60. The Red Cross
membership drive is at hand. By
and by there will be the third Lib
berty loan. And so it goes and SO
mer and as llong as, the war lasts.
And the loyal citizen will not be an
noyed or grow weary of this. On the
other hand he will be awakened He
will enter on each new weeks work
with new enthusiasm, new consecra-

will be quickened by the blood sacri-

those already put forth. He will
cease to growl or criticize. He will

opinion in the service of the nation.
We are beyond the point of argu-

GOOD OLD KING CORN!
Washington


This year 3,124OOO,OOO bushels in the United
States alone And not one bushel of it to be turn
ed into whisky!
Do you realize what that means? 1t means
about three quarts of apiece every day for
a year for every man. woman and child in the
United States 1t MEANS if did not use corn
extensively for stock fodder, and were deprived
of other food, and exported none, we could live
for year though every other source OF grain
supply were cut of-and still have little left for
Dobbin Bossy and Biddy.
That crop forecast is the best news since
the Russians decided not to make separate peace.
1t is body blow to the Kaiser and godsend to
the allies.
We may have less wheat next winter, but who
cares if we have more corn? What is piece Of
pale, tastless bread, anyway, to slab of rich,
yellow we-buttered corn "pone?" Why, one
ought to apologize to the "pone" for mentioning
them in the same breath Corn 'pone" properly
made and eaten hot is bread and meat and pota-
toes all rolled into one We used to pity Southern
folks who had nothing but "pone" during the dark
days of the Civil War, but that before we had
been initiated into the manifold delights of that
delicacy. Now we think they were mighty lucky.
Then too there are corn cakes and fried mush,
and mush and milk, and scrappel, to say nothing
numerous breakfast dishes made of corn and
that old stand-by-hominy in all it's varied FORMS
Give us corn aplenty and can do without
wheat The Indians had wheat but they did
have corn and you may take it from any old school
history you care to consult that the corn-fed In
dams were a pretty good match for the wheat
eating Puritan Fathers. Yea, there were times
when the corn eaters put it all over the bread and
butter boys in open field fighting.
But, be that as it may, the big corn crop news
is reassuring along many lines. More corn means
more and fatter hogs; more hogs mean lower pork
prices More corn more chickens and more
eggs More eggs means lower prices. Corn!
Maize! It is Americas great good fortune and
Germanys curse, this crop of ours. 1t IS
wealth, and health and happiness. There is no
prettier picture than field of corn as autumn ap-
proaches-
s'When the maize fields grows and ripens,
Till it stands in all it's splendor
Of it's garments green and yellow,
Of it's tassels and it's plumage
And the maize ears full and shining
Clean from bursting sheaths of verdure.
Thank God for corn!

OREGON SHIP BUILDING CALLS FOR LABOR
Thousands of Men at High Wages Can Find
Employment.

The secretary of the State Editorial Association
of Portland Oregon, informs us that Oregons Ell
fort to do her part in the building of steel and
wooden ships for the is seriously crippled
through lack Of labor.
Latest authentic information gathered points
to the necessity of employing at once nearly H.
900 men in the shipbuilding business at Portland,
and between two and three thousand in the yards
outside.
With contracts already let and certain to be
placed in the near future it is stated by the ship
builders that from 20 900 to $4,000 men should be
employed by the close of this year, or early next
year. The work is on hand to give tbs employ
ment and the demand for ships is growing greater
every day.
The development of an industry of this magn1-
tude so suddenly has resulted in drawing practic-
ally all of the available within immediate
REACH and already the shipbuiders of the state are
urging laborers from all parts of the West to take
positions in their plants
Appeals coming from national officials and
all the leading business of the East for all
seaboard states to concentrate their supreme ener-
gies upon the program of building ships. This
is declared to be the greatest duty confronting the
nation today and every hand it is admitted
frankly. despite the optimistic statements made OF
the position of the allied forces that unless ships
built by America at pace absolutely DeyOnu
the present program the effectiveness Of the United
States in the European War will be largely re-
duced. Germany is counting implicitly upon de-
stroying ships than are built to prevent AM
erica from participating extensively in the war.
The submarine program is making more rapid
progress than the shipbuilding program. For
these the federal government is putting the
building of ships the primary patriotic duty OF
the people of the country, and urging person
who can aid in the work to take it up with much
reverence and as much of duty as if they
were ensting in the army
Americas food, munitions arms and men can
not reach Europe without adequate supply OF
ships Best authorities declare these should be
built of steel and wood rapidly as the forces OF
the country can be marshalled for the work.
In the emergency every man who has any mech
ancal artisan skill whatever is being adapted to
some part of ship construction, wherever he desires
to work. It has been necessary to teach labor to
do classes of work it has never undertaken before
All the facilities for such instruction are being pro-
vided by the ship yards the government, and state
and men having opportunity to take up lines
of employment never presented before at the best
wages that have been known in the Pacific North
west and perhaps the country.

THE POTATO COMES BACK
Huge Crop Of Tubers Restores American Diet to
Its Old Basis.

Washington D. C.-The huge potato crop which
the Federal forecast indicates will be produced in
the United States this year that this i'm
portant food staple will be cheaper, and makes it
possible says the United States Department of Ag
rculture, for American families that had to cut
down on potato consumption because of high prices
to restore the tuber to prominent place on their
bill Of fare
The Department forecast, based on reliable esti-
mates from all parts of the country, places the
total potato yield at than 467 100000 bush
els as compared with 900 in 1916 and $780,
OOO, 900 in 1915. Potatoes of the current season
are already in the market in large quantities, and
since the early harvested tubers can not be kept
easily should be eaten abundantly now if
spoilage is to be avoided
Next to the breadstuffs potatoes are the most
important food crop of the western nations, the
Department points out. They are all the more
important now that the worlds wheat supply is
Short they furnish starch, the principal food
element contributed by bread, and so may be sub
stituted in part for bread.
It is no hardship to Americans, says the De-
partment to eat freely of potatoes; rather it has
been a hardship to them during the past half year
to forego somewhat the of this common food.
