FIREMEN BRING
UP GRIEVANCES

A committee of three firemeD ap-
peared before the city commission
ers with a complaint concerning
the unsanitary conditions of the
Central fire station. The commit
teemen also called attention to the
fact that several men formerly on
the force have been called in the
draft. They requested that an eff
fort be made to obtain experienced
men to fill these vacancies.
In regard to the condition at the
fire station, the committee states
that it has insuffi cient ventilation.

TRAIT0ROUS SENATORS ACTIVE

Senators Chamberlain Hitchcock and others of theil
brand are shouting from the housetops the things thai
pro-Germans dare not speak above whisper They
misrepresenting msconstruing and exaggerating the
facts in the war situation
They have hung out the white flag of surrender ano
have notified the kaiser that Americas participation r
the war is joke. That auocracy has nothing to fear
from this side Of the ocean, will never be able to
get into the war seriously.
These are lies---traitorous lies--but Chamberlain
published them in his harrangue in the senate Hitchcock
repeated them with only change IN verbiage and today
it expected that WadsWorh, Of New York. representa-
tive Of the packing combine in the senate whose war
profits are now being investigated will reterate them
today.
When Washington led the armies Of the colonies in the
revolutionary war; he beset by caumnes circulated
by similar type of men. Madison felt the sting of
just criticism in 1872 Polk in the Mexican and Lin
coin in 1868.
But has remained for the Chamberlain group of mall
contents to make the viles direst attack made
upon president of the nation in wartime crisis They
purpose to enact War cabinet BILL taking all power to
conduct the war out of the hands Of the president eav
ing him with only the veto power in he should dis
agree with the policy pursued.
The "war cabinet bill is direct insult to the chief
executive Who under the constitution is commander IN
chief of the army and navy.
Senator Williams in reply to Hitchcock in the senate
yesterday charged that undertaking the administration
was German scheme and it does look like it.
The Continental Congress- Williams added came very
running General Washington land all the asses that
existed came very near running Lincoln and Grant

SHIPPING PROBLEM IS MOST SERIOUS

The question of food shortage before the public
to be mainly question of lack Of ocean shipping facilities
Tens of thousands of railroad tied up in the
ocean terminals because the warehouses and docks
filled to overflowng with foodstus and munitions bound
for the war zone The ships at the command of the
nation inadequate to the task cut out for them The
tying up of these cars has produced car-shortage
throughout the country and food and fuel in plenty
awaiting shipment at the points of production while peo
pie in some places feel keenly the need of it.
Potatoes are drug on the market in the Northwest
and many other products still in the warehouses.
Corn is said to be rottng in the middle vest while
than million sacks of sugar in the factories of Utah and
Idaho would greatly relieve the shortage in the East
the railroads could move it.
The ocean shipping problem, serious as it is will prob
ably be worked out by next fall with of shpyards
working new bottoms on both coasts. When it is
solved we believe there will be plenty of food in the
United States for the soldiers abroad and the people
home as well.

WHAT'S IN YOUR SALAD OIL?

That almost all of the supposedto-be olive oil now
being sold in this country is adulterated is the pro
nouncement of health officials in many states
The olive crop Of France has been ruined by the war
Italy has placed at least at times embargo the
portaon of olive OIL and the little coming into this
country is chiefly from Spain There are some olives
grown in the West but the supply of oil received from
them is almost negligible.
Corn oil is Of the most favored adulterants of
salad OIL Cotton seed oil is another Clarified petroleum
is also on the list None Of these is dangerous to the
system though petroleum. being indgestbe isn't exactly
nourishing. Corn oil and cotton seed oil are very good
foods in their way but they hardly worth buying at
the price paid for French or Italian oil.
1t would seem rather wise in the circumstances to use
some Of the cottonseed products under their
for cooking, and if cotonseed oil isn't pleasant in Salads
to use salad dressings of melted butter--if Hoover
doesn't cut the supply Of butter too low-un the situa
ton is remedied In that way the housewife will at least
know what she is getting and will pay for at reason
able prices.
There would also to be incentive to those who
live in olvegrowng climates to take this opportunity to
increase the native production of this valuable food.

DAISY FLY KILLER 2
SOLDIERS ADOPTED" BY PIG
Odd Mascot That History Records a.
Attaching Itself to Company Of
kentucky Volunteers.

There Is in the history Of the state
Of Kentucky an odd incident in con-
nection with the invasion of Canada
by the Kentucky troops in 1872. A
company of volunteers, destined for
Selby's army. assembled at HarrOds-
burg and formed nucleus around
which the military recruits Of the
country gathered on the march to the
Ohio.
On the outskirts Of the town named.
10 the story runs, the company saw
two pigs fighting and delayed the
march to watch the combat. When the
march recommended it was observed
that the victorious pig was follow
ing the company; and when the men
encamped at night. the animal lay
down near at hand. OF course the SOL
iliers fed their plump recruit. The next
day the pig followed them. and this 1t
did daily on the march to the river.
