The World Moves.

A certain downtown business man,
who is up to date enough to drive a
motor car for business purposes, but
who disclaims any desire to be known
as a speed demon, was observed to
shake his head and mttter to himself
as he slid his car into the last space
left along the block. "Times have GER
tainly changed" said he to friend
on the sidewalk, land the ways Of the
traffic policemen with them. Why,
only five or six years ago I drove a
little horse to family surrey. The
limit of speed Of the animal at swing
ing trot was not more than six miles an
hour. One evening going home in a
hurry I dared to drive across Wash
ington street in a jog trot. The traffic
man promptly called to me to slow
down to walk while crossing. Just
now I was coming across at the same
place about ten or twelve miles an
hour, and the copper yelled: We'll,
move along there, and get out Of the

phasis to official Impotence at the

Singing Men Are Fighting Men.

The power of music has long been
extOlled by people who have made
that field Of art their chosen work,
What is of unusual interest, however,
Is the fact that an appreciation Of its
value as a builder of strength and
courage was voiced by an officer In
the army. At the opening day Of the
officers training camp at Plattsburg,
N. Y, General Bell, one of the officers
at the head of the training corps, made
an address before the men gathered
there, emphasizing the seriousness Of
the work undertaken by them. During
the course of the tails he made the fol-
lowing statements:
"a soldier must think only of his
duty and do it in way that all who
survive him will be proud of the way
he gave up his life. You know whom
we are going to fight. German soldiers
sing while they march. I want you
to see that our army beats them at
their own game, for singing men are
fighting men,"

BLUEJACKEL AS BILLPosTER
One Of Uncle Sans Sailors, Although
New to Job, Shows Versatility In
Handling Paste Brush.

Uncle Sans sailors are known for
their versatility, and many tar can
cook a dinner, repair a pipe, paint a
funnel or handle ledger as well. as
he can wigwag message, point a
gun or shiver his timbers, but crowds
in lower Manhattan the other day
saw a ~bluejacket with an odd job even
for a sailor He was a billposter,
says the New York Sun.
Equipped with pile Of blue navy
posters calling on patriotic citizens to
enlist, he started in at the Battery ap-
parently with the intention of billing
the entire island. He was obviously
new to the job, but strove manfully
with perspiration trickling down his
forehead to get the hang of the paste
brush and pot.
When first seen he was engaged in
sticking one Of the big sheets to a
fence surrounding the subway dig
ging operations in Battery park. In
the persistent breeze he found an
enemy, for the bill refused to cling to
the boardings, obstinately preferring
to wrap itself about his chest. He
made a frantic swipe with the big
pastebrush, but only succeeded In
gluing the poster to his uniform.
Abandoning the brush, he carefully
peeled off the now sodden paper and
this time with his hands alone he sue
ceeded in sticking part Of it on the
fence. Ignoring the wet paste trick
ling down his chest, he dabbed at the
unruly paper with the brush and final
ly stepped back several feet to view
the poster with an air Of triumph. 1t
was torn in several places, one corner
had been waited away by the breeze
and it was wrinkled all over, but
never did artist gaze at his own mas
terpiece with more satisfaction and
admiration.
After his moment Of triumph the
sailor moved on whistling tune, and
with the aid of both hands, the brush
and one knee succeeded in plastering
another poster and part of his shirt
on the fence. AS he continued paper
ing the fence he rapidly incased him
self in film of white paste, but this
apparently worried him not.

COUNT On PATRIOTISM
TO SECURE WHEAT THRIFT

Warning is given by the National
Food Administration that Americas
normal consumption of wheat must
BE cut in half in order to meet the
,emand for 100000 bushels month
.yh CHI our army, our navy, and our
:.llies must have If they are to win
through to victory. Mr.. Hoover's mes
age shows the grim necessity for
tais extra saving; 1t may be freely
eendered "Give up the wheat or throw
up the SPONGE"
Other nations have found 1t neces-
sary to adopt compulsory rationing
In England, for instance, everybody
from King George down has his little
food cards without which many of the
necessities of life cannot be obtained.
1t is no unusual sight in London to
see duchess and dock laborer
waiting in the same line outside a
cood dealers each tightly clasping the
official permit to purchase food.
In the United States 1t will be left
to individual patriotism and personal
honesty to see that from now until
next harvest the wheat consumption
is held down to the newly-announced
level which works out at one-and
per week. Conservation of food by
voluntary rationing will be the aim
of the Government, unless 1t should
find 1t had put too high trust in the
zeal and grit of the American people.
Then there would be no choice but to
adopt the compulsory system with all
it's fuss, forms, fines, and general I'M
pleasantness.
So few and relatively unimportant
have been the infractions of the food
laws in Maryland that State Admin
istrator Baetjer believes that he will
meet with cheerful acceptance and
loyal observance of the more strin-
gent order just issued.
Cutting the wheat consumption of
a family in half" he declared after
receiving the new orders from Wash
ington, will naturally mean some in
convenience for awhile. The reduc-
ton down to one-and-one-half pounds
a person each week certainly does
call for both economy and enterprise
in the kitchen, but have no fear that
the housewives of Maryland will fail
us in either as long as they realize
hat their soldier boys might better
have never crossed the ocean If we at
home cannot back them UP with a
title sacrifice and unselflshness in
this matter of food. If there should
be any who weary in well-doing, I
should like them to recall this sum-
ming-up of the situation in recent
speech by Rudyard Kipling:
'NOTHING-NO WE MAY
HAVE TO ENDURE NOW WILL
WEIGH ONE FEATHER-WEIGH
COMPARED WITH WHAT WE
SHALL CERTAINLY HAVE TO
SUFFER- IF FOR ANY CAUSE WE
FAIL OF VICTORY"

When the sun begins to shine.
Tap a tree;
Don't sit idly by and whine,

Clean the kettle with a shout,
Put old Sugarcane to rout,
Tap a tree.

Tap a tree;
Start the spring time out anew,
Tap tree;
Laugh at yonder sugar line
Underneath the grocer's sign,
If that plight you would decline,

TEAMS RELEASED
FOR FARM WORK

The state highway department is dis
pensing with the services of all teams
on its force account work and substi-
tutng trucks and labor-saving devices
instead that the men and teams may
be released for work on the farms,
State Highway Engineer Num- has
announced. Very few teams, in fact,
are now being used on state highway
work anywhere. he asserted, and ev-
cry effort is being made to cooperate
with farmers in handling the situation.
Work on every contract job through
out the state is now in progress and
Mr.. Num- says that the labor situation
is fair, in fact, as good as at this time
last year, and that good progress is
being made. The principal jobs in
clude the work on the Lower Columbia
River Highway, on the Upper High
way between Hood River and Cascade
Locks and on the Pacific Highway. On
the Hood River work five steam show
els are being used and only about half
dozen teams.
In addition to the principal Jobs
mentioned, there are between $50 and
l60 little Jobs scattered over the state,
many of these being small contracts
for filling in little chunks of work in
connection with the larger contracts.

some banner was then unfurled by lit
tie Miss Carol Hurlburt, whose father,

aid furnished by the Boy Scouts in the
previous campaigns by requesting that
the boys again be asked to help, acting
in the capacity of 'gleaners" after the
'reapers. The letter follows:
''My Dear Mr.. Livingstone
''Will you again muster the full
strength of the Boy Scouts of America
for cooperation with the Treasury De.
partment in securing subscriptions for
the third liberty loan. AS in the two
previous campaigns, it is desired to
have the Boy Scouts of America serve
as cleaners in house TO house can

"The patriotic and effective service
of the Boy Scouts in your definitely
planned program of war work activi-
ties is splendid testimonial to the
value of organized boyhood in helping
our country win the war.
ut is my earnest wish that every
troop of Boy Scouts and every scout
and scout official take part in your war
service activities, and especially in
these liberty loan campaigns. Not only
is this of practical service to our coun-
try in these critical times, but it is of
great educational value to the boys in
preparing them for the responsibilities
of citizenship.
