The Importance Of
Tin in the Wal

Each day war necessities are edu-
eating the American people to new
habits of thrift. This was pointed
to recently by the district sales man
ager of the Standard Oil Company,
c. H. Hamilton, when he referred to
economies being made by his COM
pany to help conserve the supply Of
tin. Heretofore large quantities Of
Pearl oil (kerosene) have been sold
in one and five gallon tin cans, but
this practice is being discouraged to
save tin. The same Pearl oil hereto
fore sold extensively in tins is carried
in bulk by dealers and can be pur-
chased Il ON them at a small money
saving as we'll as at a saving in tin
for the nations needs. So impor-
tant is this matter of tin conservation
that 1t is the patriotic duty of every
American to conserve the supply as
far as possible. and one way of doing
this is to buy kerosene and like COM
modities in bulk instead of in tin
cans.

Sugar Plant to Be
Moved From Valley

The visit of protest of the commit
tees from the chambers Of commerce
of Portland and Medford, who went
to Grants Pass last week to protest
against the removal of the large su-
gar factory from that city to Top
penish, Wash, was unavailing. The
committee found plans completed for
the immediate removal Of the plant
and the work of razing the structure
already begun.
However, there is fair prospect
that another factory will be estab-
lished at some central point in the
Rogue River valley next year. This
will be certainty IL the large pro-
ducers of that section of the country
establish proper irrigation and final
ly produce 10000 tons of beets the
next crop. A resolution was taken
to go out after this crop at the con-
ference at Grants Pass.
The first step will be to complete
the irrigation projects now started at
Talent, Medford and Gold Hill, which
will put about 10000 acres of land
under water. The sugar factory
people announce they will not en-
courage the rebuilding of factory
until the irrigation of the county is
completed.

his local board for physical examina-
tion could enlist voluntarily If he so
desired. This will continue to be
the case until December Is, but on
that date the new rule goes into eff
feet.
There are only two exceptions to
this new rule. Here Is the exact Ian
guage of the regulations In regard to
the first exception:
Upon presentation to recruiting
officer Of certificate by his local
board to the effect that his class and
order number are 80 low that he is
not within the current quota of his
local board, any -registrant may en-
list voluntarily In the navy or in the
marine corps"
The other exception has to do with
medical students, hospital internes,
dentists, dental students, veterlnari-
ans or veterinary students, who will
be permitted under regulations to be
drawn up by the surgeon general of
the army, to enlist in the enlisted re-
serve corps of the medical depart
ment.

Legion Of Loggers
lnaugurated Wed.

Last Wednesday saw the start OF
the campaign under authority of the
secretary Of war to enlist every man
of the forest industry in Oregon and
Washington in support of the govern
ment's program through fastening
airplane and ship construction. An
organization to be known as the
Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lum-
bermen Is forming, the members of
which will pledge their cooperation
during the war and wear a badge
signifying that their patriotic serv-
ice has been accepted. 1t is to in
clude all men engaged in logging and
! mill work.
Army officers have been detailed
by Col. Brice P. Disque, of the United
States signal corps, with headquar-
ters in Portland, to visit logging
camps and sawmills for the purpose
of explaining the urgent need Of CO.
operation and receiving membership
pledges. Following is the pledge re-
quired of members of the legion:
I'm consideration of my being
made a member of the Loyal Legion
'of Loggers and Lumbermen, l do
hereby solemnly pledge my efforts
during this war to the United States
of America, and will support and
deasend this country against enemies,
both foreign and domestic.
II further agree, by these presents,
faithfully to do my duty toward this
country by directing my efforts every
working day possible to the produc-
tion OF logs and lumber for the con.
struction of army airplanes and ships
to be used against our common enc
mics. That | will stamp out any
sedition or acts of hostility against
the United States government which
may come within my knowledge, and
! will do every act and thing which
will in general aid in carrying this
war to a successful conclusion"

school and special taxes on the o
& G. railroad lands, which amounted
to upwards of 100000. The delin-
quent county funds for the year 1918
amounted to 95 cents per pupil oi
school age, for 1914 $1.52, and for
1915 $1.21. About $4,000 was re-
ceived for the high school tuition
fund, which, with over $4,000 re-
ceived in taxes this fall, just paid
the amount due for the past year.
The levy Is being raised to meet the
demands for the present year. The
state funds this year amounted to
$1.S5 per pupil Of school age for
1916. Since the new law makes 1t
imperative that the county apportion-
ment for November, 1917, be based
upon the October 25, 1917, census
report, several districts which, de-
layed sending to the county superin-
tendent their census reports have had
their funds held waiting for complete
returns. In addition to 500 bonus
and SIS per teacher attending the
county institute being sent to each
school, $3.50 per pupil was appor-
toned on the county school fund.
Not more than $3.50 will be available
therefor in the spring. These vari-
GUS amounts, which, together with
delinquent special tax money being
sent to our clerks from the treasur-
er's office, will enable many school
districts to pay off long-standing
debts.

THE rooter is sort Of human
i cataclysm, vine supplies the
calliope effect at Our football
games. He is composed of vast
howl, enclosed in a thin rim of
face, and decorated with a fringe of
wildly moving arms and legs.
1t is the mission of the rooter to
win games for his college. The team
itself also has a small part in the
job, but the big work is done by the
men with the steam-siren lungs
This is easily proven by the fact
that after a great football game
only a few players are disabled,
while upwards of 10000 rooters
may be unable to talk for a week.
The rooter is quite different from
the baseball fan. The fan goes to
baseball games because he enjoys
them and yells because he feels like
it. But the rooter leaves coy
room and goes to a football game in
zero weather, because it is his duty
to help the team. He stands two
hours. freezes an equal number of
houre and unravels his throat from
sternum to epiglottis, because if he
were to stop yelling at a critical
point and 90 home to warm up, the
fullback would falter, the line would
dissolve, the team would lose and
life would become a CHASTITY nuis-
ance.
