drew down upon themselves will make then
more guarded in their utterances than they
were in the last session There is also cheer
ing rumor to the effect that Congressman Mann,

over the leadership of the minority to some

who is one hundred per cent. American and
who. since the death Of Senator Husting, is the
staunchest and most conspicuous patriot in con-
gress from his state. But there will be no lack
of shutters and trimmers who hide their secret
sympathy for the nations enemies under a
mask of pacifsm or something else.
Already Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, has
objected to declaration of war on Genmany's
ally Austria ON the ridiculous ground that 1T
would be interpreted as our approval Of ltaly's
claim that her lost provinces shall be restored.
What if it would? Why should not this re-
public stand answer wing for the principle that
Italy, France and every other nation should re-
gain the provinces wrested from them which
Intensely desire reunion with the motherland?
Why should not Serbia regain her independ-
ence? Why should not three million Transyl-
vanians, Rumanians in heart and thought and
language, go back if they will beneath that

national entity, if that heroic people so deslre9
Why should we not be open and ardent in our
sympathy with the people of Alsace- Larraine IN
their wish to live under the rule OF France?
What we need and what it may be hoped the
war will bring is a rebirth of nationalism, not
only In the United States but in all the coun-
tries now bound together in their contest
against the central powers. The time to stamp
out treason has come. The time has come to
insist upon higher standard of Americanism
ardent for our institutions and resolute to pre-
serve them at whatever cost.

RESULTS WILL BE ATTAINED.

! Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Some in
teresting data has been gathered by
the food administration bureau in
Washington. Meatless and wheatless
days seem absurd to the unthinking.
The mites which one family can save
seem so small as to make the effort
absurd. They do not take account of
the multiplied sums which will be
saved through cooperation.
The saving OF more than a ton Of
meat on one "meatless Tuesday" and
of five barrels of wheat flour on a
"wheatless Wednesday" is announo-
ed as the showing made by the Bit
more hotel, New York city, the first
week of its entry upon the food adj
ministration's campaign to conserve
these staples for export to our allies
in Europe. Reports from many other
hotels are equally encouraging
On the last meatless day at the
Biltmore, 1927 pounds of various
meats were saved, when compared to
the normal daily consumption of the
same number Of guests. The saving
in the servants dining room was 695
pounds. Guests served numbered
1855, indicating an average saving
per person of ten and one-half ounces.
of meat saved was as follows, based
on the usual consumption before the
meatless day plan went into effect:
Beef, 1877 pounds lamb, 300 pounds
mutton, 20 pounds; veal, $50 pounds
pork. 800 pounds.
One Wednesday, a wheatless day,
4,o11 persons were served at meals
and at tea. indicating an average saw.
ing Of II ounces, or a total of five
barrels Of wheat flour BY introducing
elaborate changes in cuisine the Biz
more has substituted rye. potato, bar
ley and rice flours for wheat breads
and pastries, effecting a saving on
each non-wheatless day OF one barrel
of flour, or three-fourths ounce for
each person served.
Such care and business economy
will insure sufficient food supply
for our allies and this, in turn. will
insure the winning of the war for
civilization,

Cash or credit?
There was time when the farmer
was known as zone year pay" and
he was charged accordingly. Those
were the days when many farms
were one crop places, and the main
reliance was in that one staple,
whether it was corn, wheat, cotton or
some other crop.
But the farmer, as all other bust
ness men, has progressed until now
there are few months when he does
not cash in" on something from his
place. In this section particularly,
within the last few years, the dairy
industry has been making rapid
strides, so that today this city has
about it some of the finest dairy
herds in the state, and they are pay
ing their owners handsome incomes
on the investment.
Dairying on some of the farms is
the mainstay, on others sideline.
In either case it brings returns that
are not only prompt in arriving, but
satisfying in the extreme. Butterfat
is a cash crop" In other words,
the check comes in once or twice
each week, instead of once year,
and iust now these checks are run
ming higher than ever before because
of the demand for creamery products.
The town that boasts of one O.
more creameries has something that
is of distinct value, not only to the

ABOUT BEING LOYAL.

Ottumwa Courier: Rev. Carl A.
Foigt, pastor of a German Lutheran
church in rural community just out
side OF Chicago, has attracted much
attention and received considerable
publicity recently as a result Of his
intense patriotic activity following a
period which gave him no little no
toriety as a pronounced German
sympathizer.
Instead of arresting or informing
the preacher, it seems, the district
attorney at Chicago had a confiden-
tial talk with him, and the following
Sunday the Rev. Mr.. Voigt astound-
ed his congregation by preaching d
strong sermon on loyalty. The COM
munity and the church had been
counted strongly pro-German, and
the clergyman took some or his par
ishioners to task for having failed to
buy Liberty bonds or to subscribe to
A. or the Y W. C. A.
He preached another loyalty SER
mon yesterday and spent several
hours canyassing the countryside for
war fund subscriptions.
1t is farthest from our desires to
question the sincerity of his CONVEX
sion. Regardless of what he may
have been told by the federal prose
cutor, he is exhibiting an admirable
spirit of loyalty now. 1t is to be
hoped he will continue and that he
will gain followers.
Active, positive loyalty is the sort
that counts now. No American citi-
zen deserves or should claim credit
for patriotism because he has sue
ceeded in Guiding arrest on charge
Of sedition This is the mistake
which certain socialists are making.
Loyalty is not merely obeying the
law which prohibits disloyalty. If
that were true, we would have no
volunteer army, no Liberty loan, no
Red Cross, no war work by the Y. NJ
G. A. or the Y W. G. A. If that were
true this would be German territory
today and we would be subjects Of
the kaiser.
Loyalty demands that every man
and woman in America perform
every act of which he or she is capa.
Bile to the end that the nations de-
tense shall be strengthened. Loyalty
Ig very positive quantity. 1t is
neither negative nor neutral. Com2li-
ance with the law is only its smallest
primary detail; often that is dictated
merely by selfish desire to escape
punishment

THE FOUR MILLION.

! As result of the hearing before Governor
Harding and mayors of three Iowa cities held at
Des MONIES, it is disclosed that Iowa coal OPP
orators stand to ''clean up four million dol
lars excess profits in one year if prices fixed by
the government for coal at the mine mouth
mains in effect for that length of time. The
highest cost of mining coal, including labor,
supplies and depreciation, is two dollars and
twenty five cents a ton. Thirty-fve per cent
/ is liberal allowance for the amount of screened
coal which is sold as steam coal, according to
IL. T.. Stamm secretary of the state mine opera
tors association. On this basis, selling the steam
coal at two dollars and ninety cents and the
lump coal at three dollars and forty cents the
operator would make a profit of sixty-seven
and half cents a ton.
Testimony at the Des Moines hearing showed
| that twelve and one-half cents per ton was CON
Isilered good profit in normal times, giving
the operators under present prices, an excess
profit of ffty-fve cents a ton. The production
of coal in Iowa this year will approximate sew
en- million, FIVE hundred thousand tons, which
would make the excess profits for year four
million one hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars.
And the coal men still maintain that they are
struggling to exist and are only few steps
ahead Of the receiver
The average farmer is honest This asser-
ton, although out here in Iowa it has never
been denied is based on the report of the patri-
otto farmers loan which was floated in New
York state Of the four thousand farmers
men having no financial standing at their local
banks, who borrowed five hundred thousand
dollars from the patriotic loan to finance their
crops last spring, ninety per cent. Hquidated
their obligations at maturity, and the other ten
per cent are meeting their debts as they mar |
ket their crops. The experience in loaning mon
ely to farmers unendorsed notes has given the I
bankers and other money lenders in New York I
state higher appreciation of the farms as a I
basis for loans.

A TIME FOR WATCHFUL
FIRMNESS

~ HERE is suspicion that
VI the Killamacue dam in
Baker county may have
been blown up. There have
been other dam breaks recent
ly in various parts of the west.
1t is strange these disasters
should be occurring so fire.
Quently and at such a critical
time. There is strong possi-
bility the mischief may be the
result of plotting against the
United States and in behalf of
Germany. There is no reason
for hysteria over the situation.
but it is time for every loyal
citizen to be thoughtful and
watchful. In Umatilla county
as well as elsewhere the peo-
pie need beware. Our ripening
wheat crop is of military value.
1t is our duty to see it safely
harvested and made available
for use by the people of this
country and by the people of
other nations with which we
are allied. One of the best
measures of safety is for every
farmer and every farm worker
and every honest man, woman
or child, in town or in coun-
try, to be. on the watch. If
the people are alert in guard
ing their property the danger
will be greatly lessened.
In war time there are but
two kinds of people, friends
and foes; the one supreme goal
we seek is victory over the
enemy. All other issues, poll
teal or otherwise, must be
side tracked as far as they may
affect this one great object of
the nation. AS to the best
methods of procedure there
may at times be doubt but
there can be no questioning
the necessity for watchfulness
this summer and for unity and
firmness in handling any
trouble that may arise.

FOOD CONTROL
WILL MEAN

II o obtain military success
W IN the war it is essential
that the government ex.
ercise regulatory power over
foodstuffS and other supplies,
That such control is coming is
clearly indicated by various
news stories by the East Ore
gonian in recent weeks.
Further light as to the exact
meaning of this control is fur
nished by statement made to
q senatorial committee by
Herbert Hoover, food admins
traitor. on June 10.
Mr.. Hoover pointed out that
four basic principles of deal
ing with the food situation
We're planned. These were !;
% Export regulation: (2)
control of distribution. includ-
ing speculation; (3) mobiliza-
ton of Americas women ana
men into a campaign for eco
nomy; (4) participation of the
states in administration work.
Mr.. Hoover explained that
federal commissions to control
wheat, sugar. and a few other
prime commodities" by regu-
lation of production. storage,
transportation, and sale were
contemplated. These. he ex-
planned, instead of injuring the
farmer. as had been claimed
by some, would benefit both
the producer and the consumer
without curtailing the normal
and fair profits of middlemen.
Mr.. Hoover told senators the
food supply of the allies would
be 40 per cent deficient this
year, even with the surplus of
the United States assisting
them. That deficiency. he said
must be made up by sacrifices
abroad and by economy here.
BY way of explaining the vast
results to be obtained through
economy, he stated that saw
ing of 6 cents a day per capita
in this country meant a saving
Of S2.OOO.O00,00O, and a saw
ing of 20 per cent in the con-
sumption of flour would give
the allies 100.000.000 more
bushels of wheat. During the
past five months the specula-
tors in wheat alone, Mr..
Hoover said, have taken $780,
100000 a month from the
people. He pointed
out that in England and France
some articles of food are sold
at lower prices than in the
United States. This was par

ticularly true of bread. There
was no reason, he said, why
flour should be more than SO
a barrel in the United States,
and he added that unless there
was legislation to deal with
this problem the present high
prices eventually might come
to be considered quite reason
able.
