THE JUNIOR RED CROSS

m HE work of the Junior
W Red Cross, just now be-
ing organized in Umatil.
la county, is not to be taken
lightly. 1t is taken seriously
by the nations biggest men
who regard it as something of
much Importance.
The activities of the. junior
organization are divided into
three branches, namely, learn
about the Red Cross, making
supplies and serving the city,
community and nation. If
every child in America should
make just one article, the Red
Cross would gain 22,000,OOO
articles. That in itself would
be considerable of an achieve
ment.
But the most important
phase of the Junior Red Cross
is that it brings into the schools
the idea of service and impress
es it upon the youthful mind,
not alone the service of the
hands but the service of the
heart. 1t teaches thrift, en-
courages usefulness and effici-
ency, discourages wastefulness,
extravaganza, idleness and dis
loyalty. 1t emphasizes the les
son of cooperation. In short
it develops good citizenship in
young Americans.
After all it is these children
that we are fighting for. They
will be the men and women of
tomorrow who are to derive
the benefits which a victorious
war must bring. 1t will be
their task to rebuild the world
upon broader, safer, more en-
during foundations. They
should have some conscious
part then in the war, should do
something to achieve that vic
tory which is to mean so much
10 them.

GIRLS! HAVE A MASS
OF BEAUTIFUL HAIR,
SOFT, GLOSSY, WAW
DRUEF AND DOUBLES
BEAUTY or YOUR HAIR

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderinc you can not find
a single trace of dandruff or falling
hair and your scalp will not itch but
what will please you most will be after
few weeks use. when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-
but really new -hair-growing all over
the scalp.
, a little Dandcrino Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dun, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it thru
your hair. taking one small strand at
Il time. The effect is amazlnG-your
hair will be light. fluffy and wavy. and
have an appearance Of abundance; an
Incompatible lustrc, suftness and
luXuriancc.
Get Il small bottle of KnowltOn's
Dandcrine from any drug store or
toilet counter for a few cents and
prove that your hair is as pretty an1
soft as any-that it has been neglect
cd or injured by careless treatment
that's all-you surely can have beau
tiful hair and lots of it if you will
just try a little Danderine.

THE TWO-BIT CLUB

T HE high school students
W. have organized 1.-TWO
Bit Club" The men,
berS pledge themselves to save
25 cents each week for invest
ment in thrift stamps. The
men of the city might emulate
their example and pledge
themselves to save a quarter
daily from their expenditures
on such things as tobacco,
cards, pool, gasoline and other
things ON the borderland of
luxury. A saving of % cents a
day means nearly 500 in a
year for investment in govern
ment war stamps. The habit
of saving and investing is a
good one in itself but, when it
helps the government at the
same time, it is something
more than a habit. 1t is a duty
done. =

Judge Phelps was right
when he told the teachers of
the Pendleton schools that the
pupil who fails to heed the
call to check extraSagance,
who refuses to save, conserve
and economize is Stacker
Just as much as the man who
shrinks from taking up arms
when his country calls.
The Junior Red Cross opens
an opportunity for every boy
and girl in the nation to enroll
for service in the war, and
most of them we think will be
grateful for the chance to do
their bit.

The charge is Indignantly de-
MED by some railroad eXecu-
tives and is dismissed as ridi-
culous by others. This, how
ever is not sufficient. Mr.. Lee
should be required by the fed
eral authorities to produce the
evidence upon which he bases
his sweeping indictment. Such
talk as he has indulged in on
this vital subject is detrimental
not only to the railroads but to
the government and the nation.
If there is such a conspiracy as
Mr.. Lee charges the conspira-
tors ought to be imprisoned
for the crime. If Mr.. Lee is
talking idly or maliciously he
should be called to account

SPRING WHEAT

While the area Of winter wheat
sown in 1917 was the largest OIL
record. the condition of the crop.
as reported on December l. was
the lowest ever recorded, indicat.
ing probable production of ONLY
40.OO0.0O0 bushels. Whether thu.
actl!a, production will be greater
or less than the estimate will de-
pend upon conditions prevailing
between now and the time of har-
vest.
If there were planted to spring
wheat in the United States this
Year an acreage equal to the sum
of the record planting in each
wheat state within the last ten
years. there would be sown ap-
proximately 23.3O0.OOO acres. II
there should be planted an acreage
equal to the sum of the record
planting for each state within the
last five years. there would be
sown approximately 21.0OO.OOU
acres. The record planting for
any one year was 20.3s1.000. in
1911. The acreage for 1917 was
1s.5l1,OO0
The Department Of Agriculture
has carefully studied all these
records and other data in connec-
ton with the present war condi-
tions and needs. and believes that
it will be possible this year to Sc
cure an acreage in excess of the
record acreage that was planted
in 1911. 1t is believed that i'll
creased atl cages can be secured in
States and sections where spring
wheat production is known to be
reasonably promising. and that
such increases can be made with
out upsettiug farm plans. The to-
tai acreage will be greatly infiu,
