T T TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. W. STRAuS
President d he american Sceisy for Thrp

There are aOO,Oo0,000 wild rabbits
in America aud the damage caused by
them has been so great that the Bio
logical Survey frequently has been
called on TO give help to Western
farmers in fighting The pests. If the
wild rabbits killed In America were
consumed as food there would be an
addition of from 100000 to 100000
tons to our supply while the skins
alone would have a value estimated al
S20,o00,0O0. Establishments are being
opened in the West where rabbit meat
is canned and the fur is. tanned.
From Alaska comes another inter-
esting phase of thrift that is as new
as it is novel, This is the successful
effort being made to utilize the REIN
deer for food. The meat of the REIN
deer is said to be excellent food, hav-
ing the gamey taste that is relished by
SO many people. The flesh is tender
and compares favorably with beef.
The government is importing reindeer
from Siberia in order to encourage the
industry in this country. It is esti-
mated that there are 100000 reindeer
in Alaska, of which number about ls,-
coo animals can be placed on the
market for food supply purposes.
The reindeer lives on lichens which
have no other value, and there is no
expense connected with placing thi,
food on the market except herding,
sheltering, slaughtering and shipping.
These are just a few of the inter
csting side lights of the war. We arc
going to a hard and bitter school. We
are being taught some interesting and
valuable lessons in thrift. The great
question is how long will we re-
member these lessons after the days
of bloodshed and strife are over?

Governor WithycOmbe L
Charged With Efforts to Use
Organization In Campaign

Enough politics ia being mixed up in
tho organization of the three Salem
companies for the Oregon Guards to
run an old-time political convention.
In stores, offices and on the streets
men are talking about it. On one side
men are chuckling over the manner in
which they have broken the "slates" "
and the "frame-ups" that the other
faction has attempted to put over, while
on the other side here is chagrin be-
cause well laid plans have gone awry.
Back of all the manipulation and
maneuvering was scheme to get con-
troll of all three companies and use them
as a political influence for the benefit
of Governor Withycombe in his cam.
paign for reelection.
This fact is openly asserted by men
in the companies who joined forces to
smash the states which were made in
an effort to put certain selected men in
all the important offices in the three
companies. Discovery of this scheme
angered many of the men, who declared
that if it was allowed to go through it
would disrupt the whole organization
even before it was completed.
At the meeting when Officers were
to be elected for Company d, Rev. E.
M. Burke, pastor of the Unitarian
church, took the floor and denounced
the efforts to use the Oregon Guards
as a political football for anybody. He
charged not only that politics were be.
ing dragged into the organization, but
he called it "rotten politics" He made
a stirring, patriotic speech which rout-
ed those who had sought to control the
election and broke the slate to smash.
The effort TO manipulate the organiza-
tion and inject politics into it is laid
at the door of Major Woolpert, Captain
Arnold of Z company, Second Lieuten-
ant A. l.. Morelock of E company, and
and one or two other spanish Amer
Jean war veterans. Morelock is an en-
ploye at the state penitentiary and the
others are said to be strong partisans
of Governor Withycombe.
In the first place Company D was
from members Of the Spanish
American War Veterans, the Tia Juana
camp and the Salem Rifle Club. The Tia
Juana camp is composed of men who
served on the Mexican border.
Agreement was reached that the cap
tainey Of the new company should go
to Spanish war veteran. the first lieu
tenancy to Tia Juana member, and the
second lieutenancy to a member Uf the
Rifle club. As a result, Woolpert was
chosen captain, A. A. Hall first heuten-
ant and A. R. Wilson secoRd lieutenant.

CHAIRMAN HURLEY SENDS
OUT PATRIOTIC MESSAGE
First Anniversary Of Entrance
Into War Observed Through
out Country

Washington, April 6,-shipbuilders in
Americas victory shipyards" on all
coasts heard today a stirring appeal to
''hold open the seas for civilization.
More than 25O,OO0 workers in 1872
yards participated in national flag rails
ing ceremonies and received personal
appeal for added efforts from Chair
man Hurley of the shipping board. The
American flag and the new United
States shipping board flag, were un-
furled at each yard amid impressive de-
monstrations.
Singing of the national hymns with
patriotic addresses was followed by the
repetition en- masse by all workers of
the pledge:
81 pledge allegiance to my flag, and
to the republic for which it stands
one nation indivisible, with liberty and
justice for ALL
Hurley's message, addressed to
"every man of you," follows:
At this hour of national peril, when
the forces of despotism, long gathered,
are hurling themselves against us. !
call upon you, the shipbuilders of AM
erica, to put forward all your might to
our common purpose. Tt1was an evil
thing that the phrase was coined that
we do our bit. The nation Of which
each member today merely does his bit
is lost. Doing our bit is too small a
bucket to bail back the sea. The tide
of despotism is too great for such small
and unavailing measures. We must do
our all.
"Apd, therefore, on this day, mark
ing the anniversary of our entrance into
this war which threatens civilization, it
is fitting that appeal to you for the
large and full measure of your help.
And ask you as far as is possible that
you consider that my appeal is personal
to yourself, each man of you in the
shipyards of America. And ask you to
.scrutinize yourself and to put to your
self the question, each man of you, whe-
ther you yet work to your highest limit.

not be interpreted as necessarily mean

much defensive enticement of Won Hin
