ed into Moline city court room at
noon today and announced that they
were unable to agree on a verdict
in the case of Edward Anderson

ing last night and this morning
The argument in the jury room was
intense. AT times the argument
could be heard, but not distinguish

MANY GRADUATES ARE
NOW IN WAR SERVICE

With a class of 1S7 graduates in
the 1918 class at the Oregon Agri-
cultural college only SO, little more
than one-half, will appear for gradu-
alton. The remainder, SS, will be
graduated in absentia Most of them
are absent on military service, but
few are in the civil service and a
few in educational work in other in
stitutions.
The class in agriculture is the
heaviest loser, AZ of its So members
being on duty elsewhere. Most of
these are in the army and most have
commissions. The only two candi-
dates for advanced degrees who are
expected to be in attendance are two
Hindus, Thakur Singh, of Sultan
pore, India, and Traimie Parpalla, of
Nesel, Washington.
The largest class this year is in
home economics-65. OF this num-
ber all but II will get their diplomas
in person. There are two candidates
for the master degree in home econ
omics.

all other states in the union. Gov
ernor Withycombe has been asked by
Fred j. Holmes, fuel administrator,
to so proclaim it officially, and it Is

latter part of the week.
During fuel week everybody who
has not already ordered his fuel sup
plies for the winter Is urged to do so.
BY this means, Holmes recently said,
the administration will be in posi-
tion to secure maximum supplies and
attend to its proper distribution.

for serious observance in Oregon.
Shortage of fuel is not laughing

not limiting them as to the amount

ALL ASKED TO AID IN
CAMPAIGN OF ECONOMY

To save materials and labor for
necessary war purposes, President
Wilson has appealed to Americans
ito buy only those things which are
essential to the individual health and
efficiency" and to volunteer on or be-
fore June 2S, national thrift day, to
invest systematically in war savings
and thrift stamps, or other govern
ment securities.
This war is one of nations, not of
armies" said the president, land
all of our 100, 100000 people must
be economically and industrially ad-
justed to war conditions If this ma
ton is to play its full part in the
conflict. The problem before us is
not primarily a financial problem,
but rather a problem of increased
production Of war essentials and the
saving of the materials and the la
Dor necessary for the support and
equipment of our army and navy.
Thoughtless expenditure of money for
non-essentials uses up the labor OF
men, the products of the farm, mines
and factories, and overburdens trans
portation, all of which must be used
TO the utmost and at their best for
war purposes.
The great results which We seek
can be obtained only by the partici-
patton of every member Of the ma
tion, young and old, in a national
concerted thrift movement l there
fore urge that our people everywhere
pledge themselves as suggested by
the secretary of the treasury, to the
practice of thrift; to serve the gov
ernment to their utmost in increas-
ing production in all field necessary
to the winning of the war; to con-
serve food and fuel and useful ma
terials of every kind; to devote their
labor only to the most necessary
tasks, and to buy only necessary
things which are essential to indiv-
idual health and efficiency, and that
the people, as evidence of their 10y.
atty invest all they can save in Lib
erty bonds end war savings stamps.
"The securities issued by the treas
ury department are so many Of them
within the reach of every one that
the door of opportunity in this mat
ter is wide open to all of us. To
practice thrift in peace times is vir-
tue and brings great benefit to the
individual at all times; with the des-
perate need OF the civilized world
today for materials and labor with
which to end the war, the practice
of individual thrift is a patriotic duty
and necessity.
81 appeal to all who now own
either Liberty bonds of war savings
stamps to continue to practice econ
omy and thrift and to appeal to all
who do not own government securi-
ties to do likewise and purchase
them to the extent of their means.

curities transfers the purchasing
power of his money to the United

bravery than the bravery of tenderness.
Out of the crash of nation against nation
arises a Christ-like sympathy, and the
insignia of it's tenderness is the cross of
