WHAT ONE WOMAN IS
DOING IN FOOD WORK
Letter From Washington Pa
triot Explains Objects of

The following from n Washington
tells how one woman is Cooperating
with the United States food admin
istration:
Washington. d. c. Edith Dear:
| was never so mistaken in my life
as | have been about the food pledge
which the food administration has
asked every hOusekecper to sign. L
did not set card. | did not sec
card. | did not want to see card.
| had notion that 1t demanded all
xmas of skimping.
We skimp enough as IL is | told
JACK. lie did not answer me at once.
Billy, clamorlng for his morning kiss,
was excuse enough.
They stand in line with their
littG cans. over there in Belgium,
waiting hours upon hours for their
small portion of milk-tiny codgers
like Billy he reminded me quietly.
THAT settled it! ! got ready right
after breakfast and went down to the
HEADQUARTERS of the food admnistra-
ton. | asked 10 see the pledge card.
And when ! had read 1t my shame
dccpencd. 1t asks nothing that any
American woman would not be proud
TO do.
-, - pledge reads: L am glad to
join YOU IN the service OF food con-
servation for our nation ana | hereby
accept membership in the United
States food administration, pledging
myself to carry out the directions and
advice of the food administrator in
my home, insofar as my circum-
stances permit
Following that is room for the
signature and address with questions
asked concerning occupation, num-
Der in household, occupation of
breadwinner, IL you have a garden,
and II you are willing to take part In
authorized neighborhood movements
for food conservation.
The card further states: There
arc no fees or dues to be paid. The
food administration wishes TO have
as members all OF those actually
handling food in the home. All
women over l6 are eligible.

of the ideas | had had about 1t.

prosrrm is not one OF skimpng in
any sense of the word. 1t is merely
request that we substitute food
stuffs that cannot be sent to the sol :
diers for the foodstuffs that can and
must be sent.
II showed 1t to Jack when he came
home and told him that / had be-
como "a soldier-woman. For there
is nothing in the food pledge that is
not necessary IL American Is to be
the bread basket of the world: more
over. 1t asks no hardships of anyone,

fault of the morning.
'Your letter telling me that you had

one for your signature. Tell any
one you know who has any such idea

USING A DEW COLLECTOR
Plants Watcred In Dry Weather by
Device for Catching Moisture.

Gardeners have. for long. been ia
miliar with the large amount OF mois-
ture that condenses on smooth sur
faces when the dew is falling. Some
interesting experiments have recently
been carried out to collect some OF tho
moisture from the foliage Of plants.
A large beet-root plant was selected
and, underneath one OF the leaves,
lust where IL bends down towards the
soil, 4 receptacle was placed. Tho ves-
sci which was sunk down into the
ground was formed OF glass bottle
and funnel. As the water dripped
from the leaf It fell into the bottle.

any OF tho moisture was lost thru evap.
Grafton. The amount varied on diff
ferent nights but when the sky was
clear, q surprising amount OF moisture
was collected In this way. II Will be
seen that the water was that which
condensed on less than half the leaf
Actig~ on the idea that dew Is worth

vised novel plan for making the full
est possible use Of this moisture. a
piece of tin bent round In n half-circle

PROSECUTIONS DEFERRED
Labor Commissioner Unable to Inyc "
gate Child Labor violations Now.

Deferred action upon the investiga-
ton Of violations of the child labor
law is leading to vast accumulation
OF work to be done in Tulsa when the
state labor department begins work.
Owing to the small force which the
labor department has, 1t is hard to
keep as close check on the situation
as Commissioner w. G. Ashton has an
nounced he intends to. The prosecu-
tons which have been made evidently
did not have the desired effect here,
Tor new instances are being COM
planned of daily.
Seven new complaints were made
yesterday to Dave l.. Easterly, super
intendent OF the free employment bu-
reau here. Three of them involved

The city of Frederick, in Till

ordinance prohibiting the circu-
l2ion of seditious matter or
making seditious speeches on
the streets. The ordinance was
passed by the city commission
ers this week. The matter was
taken UP with the commission
ers by citizens several weeks
ago. when It was feared that
literature that had been barred
from the mails might be sent
there by express and distributed
among the people. This Is the
first instance. so far known in
the United States, where circu-
lation of matter determined to
be seditious, or of the making of
speeches of the same character,
are to be prevented by law.

France is shown by writer in Prone
theus, technical organ published in
the interest of the German iron trade.
This writer takes the region around
Verdun as the basis of an interesting
calculation and estimates that some
times as many as million shells are
fired in single day when battle is
at its height. But if the number were
only a million a week. and as the
ground fought over had an area of $50
square kilometers, an almost incredible
total is reached. The average weight
of the shells is given as 30 pounds, and
the total weight of the steel exploded
in the area in question as 1900, 900
tons or about thirteen tons of steel to
the acre. At price Of $3.50 ton
for scrap steel, the crop therefore
would be worth about 1925 an acre, or
a good deal in excess of the total value
of most of the farming land in the U. S.

There are number of vacant lots
in Athena that could be, and would be
planted to potatoes if the matter of
seed could be satisfactorily adjusted.
There are boys who could raise the crop
and pay for the seed after the crop had
been harvested this fall. A commercial
association or civic club, would be in
position to make the adjustment easy.
AS rule, the ones who are in need of
vacant lot products are those least
able to pay for plowing the ground and
securing the seed.

taxpayer, In refutation of this argu-
ment, the Legislative Good Road Com
mittee has incorporated the following
statement as part of its argument in
support of the bond bill, which will be
published in the official state pamphlet:
"We have ascertained from the re-
cords of the office of the Secretary of
State that the income from the present
quarter mill tax is $s2O, 900 per annum;
that the income from auto licenses
based upon the present number of autos
at the increased license rate effective
August lst, will not be less than $3l0,
900 per annum to be used in paying in
terest and principal of bonds. The
above funds will not only be sufficient
to pay the interest and principal of the
50, 900, 900 bonds authorized by this act
but will also pay the interest and prin-
cipal of the $l,819, SS0.55 in bonds au-
thorized to meet the government road
appropriation. After paying these
bonds there will be surplus of at least
81, 1913, a02. IS. Since 1911 the increase
in the number of autos in the State of
Oregon has been B3 l-3 per cent per
year. With the completion of good
roads this increase will naturally be
larger. However we have not taken
any increase into account, but have
based our figures on the present num-
ber of autos"
Old man Oregon should never talk
good roads again if he votes down this
admirable, comprehensive and practi-
cal measure. Weston Leader.
