NO TINE FOR HXSTERIA

Today is no time for hysteria in the
land of Columbia. The President, the
Cabinet and Congress have met the
issue of war and have replied to the
challenge of Prussianism. Solemnly
and with deepest deliberation the
wheels of the worlds greatest repub-
lie, the worlds greatest exponent of
democracy, have been set in motion to
prepare the nation. The task is one
of infinite magnitude, task that calls
for the cooperation of every American.
Young men will be called to service
in the army, but the actual military
preparation is but part of the work.
Members of every family should study
the instructions sent out by depart.
ments of the government and fearn
how they may work toward the success
of general plans. We have seen the
beginning of the campaign of the Ore
gon-Washington Railway Co. and the
Oregon Agricultural College. Conser.
walton and proper distribution of food
products is one of the big features of
the great movement for preparing
America TO cope with whatever contin-
gencies may arise.
We of Hood River form but small
fraction of the great mass of Ameri.
can people, but let US begin now tC
make of ourselves an exemplary frac.
tion, a fraction willing to work in Co
ordination with every government plar
for the welfare of the nation. Let us
go about our work deliberately for &C.
complishments in times of such stres.
are more convincing than hysterica
words.

Periods of great crisis seem to turn
the minds of men and women into
channels of serious thought, and it is
evident that serious thought leads to
contemplation of religion: Additions
to churches of America in lthe past
year were greater than any other year
in the history of the nation, we are
told by statisticians. More than 40,-
600, 900 church members are enrolled in
America. Such feeling seemed Ito
be evidenced last Sunday in Hood Riv-
er. We do not think local church at
tendance was ever greater than on
Easter Sunday.

GOOD ROAD SIDEl|CHTS

A dollars worth Of road for a dol
lars worth of expenditure is assured
at the hands of the State Highway
Commission which is charged with
dsbursng the funds raised from the
proposed $6,000,000 good roads bonds.
The question involved In the pro-
posed issue of s6.000.00O road bonds
is simply this: Do the people of Ore
gon desire to approve and inaugurate
q comprehensive system of statewide
highway development. II the bond
issue is approved, taxes will not be
increased one cent on that account.
Both the principal and the interest
on the bonds will be paid from the
fund created by doubling the automo-
quarter OF mill state road tax al
ready provided.
In the last ten years approximately
$40,000,000 has been expended on
roads in this state. What is there
to show for it? Support the s6,oO0,-
600 bond issue on June 4th and let's
take up road building on q practical
and comprehensive basis.
Friends of good roads who desire
to assist in the campaign for the &c..
100000 bond issue can do 30 by
forwarding subscriptions to Bruce
Dennis, Executive Secretary, at Good
Roads Headquarters, 310.3ll Selling
Building, Portland, Oregon. The mem
bers OF the campaign committee have
refused contributions from paving
concerns and are relying entirely on
free will offerings from good roads
enthusiasts to meet the expenses of
the vigorous campaign that has been
outlined in behalf of the road bond
bill
II the s6.000,000 bond issue and the
highways designated therein are ap-
proved, comprehensive provision for
construction OF highways will have
been provided. Road construction will
have been standardized; Federal aid
and cooperation secured; the cost of
efficient engineering will have been
minmized; cooperation between
State, Government and counties, to-
gether with genuine competitive bid.
ding for construction will have be-
come a reality The requirement of
funds for road construction at a low
rate OF interest and a method OF pay
ing both interest and principal of
state bonds out OF current revenues
already imposed will also have been
secured. and this without additional
tax burden and with proper safe
guards to the general taxpayer.
r
The Highway Commission has gone
on record on this score Unless con-
tractors are reasonable in their bids,
the Commission has announced that
it will install paving plant and 60

BOSTON, September l2--tAssociated
ess)-Chairman Nichols of the chem
ical committee of the council of ma
tional defense, has issued statement
to the effect that the chemical indus,
try has been modified to such an ex
tent that the Nation. is no longer in

Nichols says the war needs Of all the
Allies can be supplied in sufficient
quantities and that there is no need for
alarm over scarcity of chemicals
which, prior to the war, were manufae
tured in Germany. Although it was
feared for a time that Germany held
all the basic patents and technica!
knowledge on better quality dyestuffs
of which there was a shortage shortly
after the outbreak. of bostilities,s this
fear has been dissipated, and manufac
turers are now receiving them in large
enough quantities to supply their cur
rent needs. Under the supervision OF
the chemical committee, however, none
is allowed 10 accumulate.
Chairman Nichols states that many
new products! have been developed il
the past year which are now being sub
stituted for the, acids and dyestGffs thai

1t was the original intention, says

down and, casting hastily about for
somebody else to ill the position, hit
upon Michaelis.
