FARM LABOR Is AMPLE If
RIGHTLY UTILIZED

BY utilizing every bit OF the avail
able farm labor supply in Oregon It
will be enough to plant, care for and
harvest big war crops called for by
fhe Government, says j. W. Brewer.
farm labor agent for Oregon.
Cooperation and sacrifice by farm
sars, laborers and business men are
necessary. To the usual labor forces
must be added retired farmers. capa-
BILE farm women, high school boys,
clerks and office assistants temper
arily relieved by substitution OF wo-
men and older men, and men about
town. Exchange OF help In local
communities and shifting of reserve
forces to points of emergency will
also be necessary. 1t Is also ex-
pected that business men will stand
ready to throw off their coats and
help the farmer out in theh pirhes.
Mr.. Brewer represents the u. s.
office OF Markets, but will correlate
his work with that of the state coun-
ell of Defense, the State Labor Com
missioner the Agricultural College
Service, the Portland Free Employ
ment Bureau, and the local county
agricultural councils or other local
bodies. Only by the closest unity of
all of these forces will the plans sue
ceed. This is assured, Mr.. Brewer
thinks, and farmers are encouraged
10 go ahead with their plans for max

THE USES OF ADVERSELY

Nothing is truec than that con
! tinued and sustained prosperity will
enervate and undermine the physi-
cal mental and moral stamina OF
any people. The human animal Ia
all too prone to over-indulge In the
good things of life. Put man on
his mettle to wrest existence from a
reluctant world, and In the effort
every fiber of his being Is necessarily
developed to the uttermost. and he
emerges an invincible specimen of
the fighter.
SO with nations. Given all that
heart can wish, and left to revel un-
hindered in the indulgence of that
plenty. the national fibre must In
evitably deteriorate.
Any crisis that jars men out OF
their ease cannot fail to work good
to that people. With no disposition
to minimize the evils of the present
conflict, yet we are bound to realize
that the world Is waking up to a view
of life that IL had well-nigh lost.
Life Is a struggle. and when strug-
Cling ceases decay sets In.
When the smoke of the present
conflict has cleared away and the
world takes stock of results, we will
be found to have learned many val
liable lessons. One great loss Is
evitable-that OF heroic lives that
must of necessity be sacrificed. This
Is deplorable. Yet these lives will
have been given In the most glor-
ious of causes-the renewing and
vitalizing OF the life OF the nations.
From the dawn OF history to the
present day, sybarltes and sensualists
have professed to deride and scoff at
the sciptural virtues OF renunciation
and self-sacrifice. Yet the decree
remains as unalterable today as when
enunciated by the Man OF Gallilee.
that whatsoever loseth his life shall
find IT,"
We of America have not yet touch
ed the edge of real enunciation. We
have given only of "a superabundance.
II is when the giving assumes the
nature of sacrifice that the real good
to the people will be realized Shall
we. then. pray that 1t come not to
us?
We, repeat the sacrifice OF life Is
deplorable, and we would 1t could be
averted.
There is but one greater calamity
that could befall us, that is that we
should fail to measure up TO the
opportunity now knocking at our
door.

ASKS REPEAL or GiO-ACRE LAW

A special dispatch to the Boise
Statesman from Salt Lake says: The
resolutions committee of the Ameri-
can National Livestock Association
submitted report on the 640-acre
homestead act to the afternoon ses-
sion. Strong condemnation was CIV
en- the act for its disastrous effects
on the stock industry and urgent
recommendation were made for It's
repeal. The act Is claimed to be
particularly disastrous to sheepmen
and stockmen OF Idaho and Wyom-
ing.
Other recommendation were:
That there be no Increase In grazing
fees for the issuance of 10-year per-
mits; no reduction In permits and not
more than 10 per cent reduction In
one 10-year period; that all permits
with established preference April / 4.
1918, be transferable without re-
strIctions: that no permit be issued
with 640-acre homestead as basis;
that the right to Craze cattle In the
national forests be attached to land
on or adjacent to the forest rather
than TO livestock; for the fencing of
allotments; that no permits be grant
ed to beginners on allotments that
have been used in the past exclusive
ly for breeding; that no permits be
issued on account of leasing OF uni
verslty lands; that If ten year per-
NIT be granted, no homesteader who
has not complied with theh present
regulations be granted a permit for
more stock than his homestead will
support for period of five years;
that no distinction be made between
range improvements on private lands
and government lands.
Sheepmen Meet
Recommendation for lower
freight rates from winter to summer
ranges, cooperation of sheepmen In
the matter of uniform wages and OPP
position to the government fixing the
price of wool, were the features OF
the presidents address at the open
ing OF the Utah woolgrowers' annual
here TuGeday.

WOMEN IN RAILROAD WORK
TAKING PLACES OF MEN

More than five hundred womel
are employed by the Union Pacific
Sysiam's western unit, the oregon
Washington Railroad 4 Navigation
Company.
Over four hundred men formerly
in the company service have Joined
the colors, and In many instances
women are doing the work of the
men who have heard the call
In addition to clerks and steno'
graphers, women are filling many
other positions. They are acting as
passioner agents, station agents and
agents helpers, car checkers, car
accountants, cashiers and some of the
girls are acting as messengers and
-'office boys. In the car shops
women clean the coaches inside and
out, renovating cushions, and when
repairs are made do the sandpaper-
ing for the painters. They are core
makers in the foundry, and they are
brass-polishers in the finishing
rooms.
In many departments women are
being employed where formerly the
work was done exclusively by men.
Some of the new employees have had
experience while others are new in
railroad work, but are proving eff
cient.
1t is out of the ordinary to have
girls at work in the offices of the
yardmasters, yet at Huntington, Ore
;gon. there is girl car-checker, two
girls are car accountants at Seattle,
Washington, and they are making
good. The night ticket clerk at
Pendleton, Oregon Is young woman,
several women are station agents,
while telegraph operators are num-
erous.
Woman and girls have proven
their ability to do many tasks. Rail-
road work is diversified. and offers
a field for the women who are de-
pendent upon themselves, and II af-
fords openings for others to replace
the men who have heard the call
Rest periods are allowed the wo-
men twice daily, and their comfort
is looked after by the management.
IL is interesting to note that the
ladies devote their rest time to knit
ting for the soldiers and sailors. They
are patriotic and willing to do their
bit for their country in any way pos
sible. They encourage enlistments
by announcing their Willingness to
work, rather than go on record as
dependents. and their splendid patri-
otism is an inspiration to men to
heed the call to arms.
Women are taking places of impor-
fance in the field OF railroad work.
Their activities of great value will
continue to grow in Importance as
they enter on additional tasks.

This does not mean that few

machine that does any extended OBJ

OF It every week. The bullets, unless
they happen to hit the airman him
self, do almost no damage, however.
The causuallties to airmen resulting
from this cause directly are very
slight, also.
In part, the reason for the ef-
fectiveness OF the shrapnel fire lays
In the nature of the firing Itself; a

rate OF from 10 to 145 miles an

HARNESS OUR WATER POWER

In the early days OF this country
the grist mill was built where there
was water power, and in time other
industries also located there for the

THE TRIMMINGS" OF LIFE

Human activities have from time
immemorial been roughly divided
into two classes, commonly desig-
mated by the plain-spoken as the
Essentials" and the trimmings"
The division Is an arbitrary one.
and like most arbitrary definitions
Is frequently unfair. II implies that
the one is vitality necessary while the
other Is superfluous. This Is far
from being the truth.
Many centuries ago a great Teach
er declared that MAN shall not live
by bread alone" This truth has
lost nothing OF its force with the
passage OF time. There are many
vital interests In life besides that OF
"A mere subsistence. These interests
are they which mark the dividing
line between man and the brute crea-
tion. They are the demands OF his
nature that grow out OF his higher
intelligence, and they are just as es-
sentail to the completion Of the
character as are the demands OF sub
sistence to the development OF the
purely physical.
II we are to reap the full reward OF
our service We must not set aside
the social demands OF life. II Is
untrue to say Ye have no time for
such. Time devoted to the cultivation
OF the social life--in reason--is new
er wasted. Ii Is really IA period de-
voted To the storing OF energy and
resources that shall aid us In the
more material tasks. An intimate
knowledge OF the characteristics OF
our fellows IL "A valuable knowledge.
Brushing up against the aims and
aspirations of our neighbors and
friends gives impetus to our own
aspirations and sends us forth to the
contest with renewed force and Wig

And In fact most of the occupation
of life can be successfully pursued

interests that mark the man or the
woman OF an upward vision. The
mechanic can aB easily be a gentle
man as Il lout. Even the crossing
sweeper need not be boor. Cook
ing and dlsh-washing need not bar
the mind and heart from things
above and beyond the human task. II
Is as easy for the farmer to medi- |
tate on the great PHILOSOPHERS of
earth as upon the virtues or failings
of a political candidate, In short, |
achievement may have for its end the
higher things of life as well as the
baser.
Keep the fires burning brightly on
the social alters. II Is for the high !
er development OF humanity that we
are now struggling, and 1t would |
surely be a perversion OF our efforts
did we lose sight OF the golden grain |
while contenting ourselves with tho |
husks OF life.

Chippy Chappy had been to both kinds
