THE OLD CAMPAIGN
HATS CAST OFF

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP in
FRANCE. Nov. THE wide brimmed
campaign hats have beer abandoned
by the United States Army for
troops atually in the field. In their
place hats like the fatigue headgear
of the French army have been
adopted. Numbers of them have
been purchased and hurried to the
troops now in the trenches.
The new hat is a sort o. fore and
aft arrangement made by sewing two
heavy pieces of khaki cloth together
with the seams front and back and
adding to the sides other pieces OF
material which fold up on the side OF
the hat or may be drawn down to
cover the ears. The hat Is most
comfortable. 1T also en- be rolled up
to pocket size or worn under shrap-
mel helmets.
The old campaign hat to fold was
cumbersome for troops in the field
and officers recommended a change.
1t was so unwieldly that some of the
troops discarded it entirely when
they were changing to the shrapael
helmet.
The campaign hat is stin worn at
billets and in barracks, but many o.
ficers are recommending its complete
abandonment on the ground that it
was designed for service in tropical
countries and is unsuited for opera
lions under present conditions.

WARNING THE wREckERs.

The action of the governors of the
New York Stock Exchange against
professional short-sellers and rumor-
mongers is c~ommendable, but even
more prliseworthy is its spirit.
While there is no purpose 10 re
strict legitimate trading, it is held
that ''all selling intended to depress
prices is .unpatriotic," and to prevent
such raids as that of Thursday, engi-
neered by panic-breeders, possibly
under enemy influence, ana based
upon widely circulated falsehoods, the
m of brokers and clients engag-
ing in such practices are to be in
stantly exposed.
AS it is easily within the power OF
the governors to acquire this infor-
nation, the enforcement of publicity
in all cases ought to end the evil. Ev-
cry member of the Exchange not en-
gagged in what its officers correctly
describe as an infamy cannot fail to
be a gainer by the policy thus out
lined. 1t will safeguard lot only the
business and fortunes of individuals
but the honor and credit of the Ma
ton.
If something stronger than reason
is needed to convince desperate spec
nlative elements hat the United
States is not going to be driven into
financial chaos by their operations,
they should note the fact that the
warning from the Exchange is accom-
panied by a threat. we are going

OVER THE SEA TO FRANCE.

Across the sea in France
The land Of Lafayette,
In both cottage and manse
Heroic souls live yet.
Hard pressed by despot's heel
Harried by wars alarm,
And rent by rain of steel,
They bare true foemen's arm.
East and west, south and north,
From all Columbia's domain,
Liberty's blade leaps forth
Meier to be sheathed again,
Till Tyrant hands shall lose
Their clutch on freedom men,
And despots no more use
Brute force, that wrong may win.
Over the sea to France
Our men and flag now go;
We trust no dubious chance,
We fear no t~yrant's blow.
One hundred million strong,
With nurse, with sword and all,
We pitch our battle song
For tyranny's downfall.

ATTRACTIVE FARM HOME
WITHIN REACH OF ALL
We Should Not b Content TO
Live In Plain, Unatrsctivs Sur
roundings-Plsnt Trees And
Shrubs

The writer was recently in cOnveF-
sation with q new conner to our
state from an older settled portion
of the country. Said this person:
Perhaps you have lived in this re-
gion long enough to understand
why it is that so many farmers who
are prosperous enough to own an
expensive automobile are satisfied
to live in such homely little shacks
of houses with such unattractive
surroundings"
1t must be confessed that the
same query has lain, unvoiced, in
this plain way, for long time in
our own mind. 1t certainly express
ses very frankly condition which
prevailes all too commonly among
our rural habitation, The an.
swer involves several reasons among
which are probably lack OF interest
in and appreciation of attractive
home surroundings, lack OF time to
give the fixing up" around the
place, lack of knowledge as to how
the home surroundings can be
made attractive without great ex-
pense, and because the owner, him
self, lives in town.
Rural homes are to be found Oc-
casionally. however, which show q
com1nendable pride and the enter
prise on the part Of the inhabitants
to make an attractive place.
When it becomes more generally
known how much may be done by
the judicious planting of trees,
shrubs, and vines, and the clean
ing UP and proper disposal of rub
bish, weeds and discard farm ma
chinery our rural homes will be-
come not only more inviting in ap-
pearance but will attract the best
buyers when sold. It is not neces-
sary to build an oversize, expen-
sive, ornate house on the farm to
realize the truest home qualities.
Much better results often follow
the planning and carrying out of a
well designed, inexpensive planting
plan, with suitable Towering
plants, vines shrubs, and trees.

Need Mon TO Build Ships

The secretary OF the state Editor
ial Association OF Portland. Oregon,
informs us that Oregon's effort to
do her part in the building of
steel and wooden ships for the war
is seriously crippled through the
lack of labor.
Latest authentic information
gathered points to the necessity Of
employing at oncce nearly 1900
men in the shipbuilding business
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 10000 to 25,0O0
men should be employed by the
close OF this year, or early next
year.
The work is on hand to give
this employment and the demand
Tor ships is growing greater every

Save Gasoline

Joy rides in automobiles or any
other vehicle which uses gasoline
will probably be very materially re-
duced thru pressure to be brot to
bear bH the federal government.
What the government wants is q
saving in gasoline that the supply
may not be cut to q point where it
will interfere with war operations.
The following suggestions have
been sent out by federal agents,
thru the state war council:
DIDO not allow your gasoline en-.
gine to run idle.
t2)-Use kerosene, not gasoline, for
cleaning purposes in the garage.
(3)-See to it that the carburetor
does not leak. Form the habit
of shutting off the gasoline at
the tank.
(4)-By judicious regulation OF the
mixture of gasoline and air in
the motor, both greater power
and economy of fuel may be oh.
tanned.
Automobile owners need not lay
up cars, but should use them either
for trade or pleasure purposes thot-
fully and judiciously. If this advice
is followed there will be no undue
scarcity, for the United States pos
sesses an abundant supply for or
dinary purposes.
