EVERY VOTER SHOULD READ
THE VOTER"

Every voter in the State of Oregon
should read the Oregon Voter As
many people may not know, We will
say that the Oregon Voter" is pub
liShed in Portland and c. c. Chapman
is the able editor of the same.
As the name would indicate, the
Voter deals out whole lot of infor-
nation pertaining to politics, both
men and measures. And then Mr..
Chapman is a regular bear" for sta
tistics and page after page of the Vo-
ter is usually found filled with dia-
grams, figures and illustrations to
show in a clear and concise manner
just what he is driving at.
At the present time Mr.. Chapman
is devoting space to character sketch
es of the men who would serve Ore
gon. The sketches are interesting
and sometimes quite funny.
But the Voter has its serious side
as well as the light, and We can re-
commend it as being one of the most
periodicals coming to our
desk each week.-Mrs. is not paid

railroad war gardens varied in size
and were titled by more than one
thousand employees. Many employees
are home-owners, and they planted
vegetables in lieu of flowers and spa

More war gardens will be planted
this spring. The employees who used

THE SOLDIERS WEEkLl NEWS
LETTER.

Some of the newspapers of the
s,a,e have been lambasting those pa
tyiotic men who are responsible for
the Soldiers Weekly News Letter.
AS We view it, the condemnation OF
the publication on the part of the
critics, is untimely. Three issues of
the paper have been sent across the
water to our boys in France and as
yet, We have barely had time to hear
the verdict of the boys over there.
If the Soldiers Weekly News Let
ter brings one iota of cheer to our
gallant men, then it should be en-
couraged to the fullest extent. Much
has been written and more has been
said about how glad the boys are to
receive word from home. In the
Soldiers Weekly News Letter are it.
ems gathered from over the state, ev-
cry county being represented. We will
venture the assertion that the boys a.
broad devour every item in that pa
per.
The Soldiers Weekly News Letter
is sent to the boys over there free of
charge, but owing to the fact that the
demand for the publication at home
has become so great. subscription
price of two dollars per year has been
set for civilians Here some of the
state papers kick again, saying that
certain interests are promoting a
commercial scheme to fatten their
own purses.
But we would not impugn the mo-
tiyes of those men who are concious-
ly striving to send cheer to the SOL
diers. They should be lauded for
their patriotic intent and the Sol
diers' Weekly News Letter should be
given the encouragement of the peo-
pie of the state of Oregon.
