ICE CREAM PLANT
PROVES VERY SUCCESSFUL

An interesting and necessary add

gained in the installation of J. w.
Schoen's ice cream plant. This is op-
Grated by means of a two horse pow
er engine, which does good work, in
cidentally being rather a noisy affair.
The plant is situated in a room at
the north end of the building, ad-
joining the refrigerator, where the
finished product is stored 1t turns
out eighty gallons week, on an av-
erage of ten gallons a day and more
when necessary.
The owner is justly proud of the
product of his hard labors and if
you don't believe the ice cream is
what it is ''cracked up to be-, Mr.
Schoen extends hearty invitation
for I'll to sample it.

The entire State of Minnesota is

the State Committee of Food Pro-
duction and Conservation, in CO.

jproduct to market, causing waste
and sacrifice Of prices: >~
The establishing of marketing and
Shipping facilities at points in the
state where marketing facilities do
not already exist, and the use of
every practicable means of assist
ing the farmer in marketing surplus
products with a minimum of waste.
The elimination of delays in load
ing and unloading cars, in order that
there may be no shortage of cars,
and care to avoid shipping out Of
any community products of kind
that may have to be shipped back
in order to meet the local demand.
A study of the livestock, the for
age, the fuel, the machinery, and
other needs of the county in order
that they may be met without loss.
Every county director and the
members of the markets committee
will be given schedule of definite
things that need to be done, and

done without delay.
The campaign is to be intensive, so
that the work of handling the sur

expedited in every way.

OREGON SHIP BUILDING
CALLS FOR MORE LABOR
Thousands Of Men 1T High Wage.
Can Find Regular
Employment.

The Secretary of the State Agri-
cultural Association of Portland, Or
egon,. informs US that Oregon's ef-
fort to do her part in the building of
steel and wooden ships for the war
is is seriously crippled through lack
of labor.
Latest authentic information
gathered. points TO the necessity of
employing at once nearly $4,000
men in tn the shipbuilding business
at Portland, and between two and
three thousand in the yards out
side.
With contract already let and
certain to be placed in the near fu-
ture, it is stated by the shipbuild-
ere that from 10000 to $4,000 men
should be employed by the close of
year, or early next year. The work
is no hand to give this employment
and the demand for ships is growing
greater every day.
The development of an industry of
this magnitude so suddenly has re-
suited in drawing practically all of
the available men within immediate
reach, and already the shipbuildere
of the state are urging laborers from
all parts of the West to take posi-
tions in their plants.
Appeals are coming from national
officials and all the leading business
men of the East for all seaboard
states to concentrate their supreme
energies upon the program of build
ing ships. This is declared to be
the greatest duty confronting the
nation today and on every hand it
is admitted frankly, despite the op-
timistic statements made of the DO
sition of the allied forces, that un-
less ships are built by America at a
pace absolutely beyond the present
program the effectiveness of the
United States in the European War
| will be largely reduced. Germany is
counting implicitly upon destroying
more ships than are built to prevent
sively in the war; The submarine
program is making more rapid prog
| ress. than the shipbuilding program.
For these reasons the federal gov
eernment is putting the building of
ships as the primary patriotic duty
of the people Of the country, and
urging every person who can aid in
the work to taqke it up with as
much reverence and as much sense
of duty as if they were enlisting in
the army.
Americas food, munitions, arms,
and men cannot reach Europe with
out an adequate supply of ships.
Best authorities declare these should
be built of stel and wood as rapidly
as possible as the forces of the coun-
try can be marshalled into line for
the work.
In the emergency every man who
has any mechanical or artisan skill
whatever is being adapted to some
part of ship construction, wher-
ever he desires to work. It has
been necessary to teach labor to do
clases of work it has never under
taken before. All the facilities for
such instruction are being provided
by the ship yards, the government
and state, and men are having an op-
portunity to take up lines of employ
mert never presented before in the
Pacific Northwest.
