SHIP BUILDING
RECORD LOWERED
SEATTLE SETS NEW PACE FOR
ALL SHIP BUILDING YARDS
IN UNITED STATES

SEATTLE, Wash-Lowering the
worlds record for speed in steel ship
construction, established here two
weeks ago by the same shipyard,
when a vessel took the water sixty
four days after the date her keel was
laid, the steel freighter West Lianga,
$500 tons, today slid down the ways
of the Skinner & Eddy Corporation
shipyard here, fifty-four days after
her keel was put down.
And, in addition, barring tine un-
expected, the vessel will be delivered
to the government at the end of 20
days from date of launching, accord
ing to her builders, thus making a
new record of steel ship delivery of
seventy-four days from date of keel
laying, as compared with the pre-
vious worlds record Of ITO days, set
by a Portland, Ore, shipyard.
The West Lianga is the sixteenth
steel ship to be launched art Seattle
this year, and she is scheduled to be
the eighteenth steel craft delivered
by local shipyards to the government
during the same period

GET READY FOR BIG CROP
Many Grain Elevators Under construc-
tior In Oregon, Washington
and Idaho.

Portland, Ore.-One hundred and
twenty-five grain elevators are being
rushed to completion in Washington,
40 in Oregon and IS in Idaho. Most Of
them are being built by wheat ranch
ers, though in some cases railroads and
communities are giving financial assist
ance.
Individual farmers and ranchers are
also building storage bins for the tenn
porary holding of grain after it is har-
vested and threshed. These individual
accumulations Of grain will then be
hauled to the grain elevators by auto
trucks, and from the elevators will be
moved to tidewater by the railroads.
The grain will be handled in bulk
throughout, and In this way the ex-
pense and loss of time in sacking will
be avoided. This is the contribution
of the great INLAND empire" to "war
efficiency" and the nations grain sup
ply.

thetic. The people came from under
it's confusing and duIling influence
with an incapacity to see issues
sharply. But during the months OF
February and March a great change
for the better was apparent. The
people became willing to look the
war straight in the face. When they
began to realize that the war is only
in its initial stage, that it has just
begun, and that the situation is des-
perate, that the safety of our coun-
try and our civilization depends upon
the capacity of our civilians to fur
nish adequate support to our soldiers,
they began to display willingness to
save and to sacrifice, to work as best
they can, to see the thing through,
whether it takes one year or thirty
one years
Be sure to hear President Wilbur
No one knows more about the food
situation, here and in Europe, than
he does. He is straightforward,
business-Hke speaker. He speaks out
in meeting. It is not in his nature to
conceal things. And he is veracity
itself. You may be sure that when
he says thing it is so.

Camp Community Service is to play
large part, although the camp itself
will, of course, be in charge of army
officers and conducted along strictly
military lines The Community Or
ganizer has already been called upon
to assist in plans for the men. A
more ideal spot for reconstruction
work than Fort Smelling can hardly be
imagined. 1t Is just the place for men
to recover from wounds and from shell
shock, process that often takes
months. 1t is probable that men who
have lost legs will be fitted with arti.
fetal limbs here as q part Of the work.
All of the, men received at the fort
must be Of the "able to travel" class,
as the long Journey from the Atlantic
coast would prohibit the treatment Of
more serious cases there.
Nearly two battalions Of United
States guards are now at the fort.
These men will remain on guard duty
after the establishment Of the recon
struction work, it is believed, and the

ganizer and assistants intend to stay
ON the ground and make ready in ev.
