HOME FOLKS URGED
TO KEEP FAITH
With "YANKS" BY
CONTINUED SAVING
"A Sword, Spade and Ihousn'
Should Never Be Allowed
TO Rust"

This was part OF the wise philosophy
OF the women in Irish folk lore ana
IL il now rich in wartime symponsui.
That the Allied sword is not oelns
permitted to rust is evidenced IN tns
recent victories on the western 'front.'.
Firearms are bright and shining, anu
the enemy is on the run. Ihere muss
be no relaxing OF the military pro-
gram American soldiers must D
kept going in a steady stream tnae
the Allied forces may push on 10
quicker victory.
These men must be fed. The civil
ian's spade must not rust. Tue great
er our accomplishment in putlinS
American soldiers in the European
battlefield the greater is the civilian
responsibility to keep their booles liz
and their spirits buoyed.
American agriculture has had ban.
ner year The patriotic response OF
the farmers coupled with favorable
weather conditions has increased enor-
mously the cereal production SO that
all fear of famine has been removed.
Equally patriotic has been the re-
sponse in the planting OF war gar
dens. Recent reports on the planting
for 1918 show 5,2S5,O00 food plots or
an increase over last year OF 81 per
cent. The estimated value OF these
food products is s525,0 100000, or so per
cent increase over last year.
This is no time, however, to relax
either in production or saving. This
years bountiful harvest may be fol-
lowed by a correspondingly poor one
next year More men will gradually
leave the fields for the army, and the
reaction will be felt at next years
harvest. Now Is the time to prepare
for this by keeping up the conserva'
ton program and building up sur
plus for possible leaner days ahead.
Equal in Importance to the sword
and spade is to keep the thought OF
the American people free from rust.
The collective thought Of the nation
must be pitched on a high place and
concentrated on the one goal-a CON
elusive peace.
A year ago last Aprfl America sent
word that she was coming. And she
has made good. Her men are there .
rapidly increasing numbers and the
allied fighters now know that her
sword will not bs allowed to rust
The morale Of both soldiers ans
civilians is based largely on being
well fed. That America 10 ready and
willing to share her food was shown
in the wheat saving last year. She
not only decreased her own consump
tion to meet the European demands.
but she increased her production OF
all cereals.
Americas sword and spade have in.
jected new hope, and the thoughts Of
the American people must not now Be
allowed to rust. Europe has faith IN
us. and we must maintain this faith

BAD TIME TO HAVE YOUR
TELEPHONE MOVED

Better not have your phone moved
these days. Mr.. Rector, manager Of
the company has received a notice
from A. S. Burleson, postmaster gen.
eral of the L. s., who is now handling
all wire lines in these United States,
TO the effect that in order to conserve
labor and material, the charge for
either moving a phone or of installa-
ton of new phone will be SO where
the monthly charge is So or under, and
SO, where the monthly charge is over
81, but not exceeding 81. OF course,
that will be hard on the man who
wants to put in a new phone as well
as the lady who decides the Hello
box" would be more of an ornament
in the parlor than at its present To-
cation in the kitchen.

LIKES THE COUNTRY AROUND
THE NEW JERSEY COAST
Camp Dix, New Jersey.

Camp Dix, New Jersey.
Dear Sister:
This is Saturday night. We don't
drill on Saturday, just cleanup and
have inspection of guns, and our
clothes must be clean also. And our
quarters, too. We have not drilled
SO hard since we came here-only the
first three days. They were hell.
So many gave out on account of the
change of climate that they let up on
US little. We are almost sea-ieyel
here you know.
1t is sure cold here at night. We
sleep with one wool blanket over us
and our shelter half, and l put my
overcOat over me and was not bit
too hot. So just get busy on that
sweater, for ! will need it mighty
soon. Some of the fellows have sweat
ers and wear them in the morning and
at night, but it's warm in the day
time.
It's beautiful country around here.
/ wes out in the country and went into
a pasture SO dense with trees l could
not get thru. There are lots of small
creeks here. Also wild fruit. / got
all wild grapes l could eat, and plums
and blueberries, and l enjoyed myself
more than have since l came to the
army. 1t did me good to get in the
timber again. There are some old
fashioned farm houses here that look
as if they had not been painted since
they We're BUILT. They have some fine
farms and orchards. 1t is sandy soil
but it rains all the time; so they raise
good crops. They get the moisture
from the ocean wind.
They say we will not be here long,
but i don't know. You can hear any
thing in the army. It's the greatest
place to start anything you ever saw,
but l guess We'll leave here before
winter. They say we won't do any
fighting for sure before spring, and
l guess We won't, for we have some
men who don't know anything about
fighting. Your brother,

SOLDIERS CORNER
EVER THINK OF THIS,

A number of classes are prolonRing
the war, but who are they?
First-the women who are irving to
get exemption for their sons and hus-
bands when they really could let them
60
Seeond-The men who are hiding
behind the women of their home.
Ihird-The trained nurses, who will
not answer the imperative call for
5000 graduate nurses By October lst
1918, and 1880 by January lst, 1919.
Fourth-The men and women who
are bowing to fashions shrine-buy-
ing now, winter garments when the
last years supply would do-thus fail
ing TO purchase Liberty Bonds and
leaving unpaid the pledge OF honor in
the War Savings Stamps drive.
FIfth-The women who are spend
ing their time on fancy work or "over-
nice housework and doing no Red
Cross or war work. some of them pre-
tending that they do not like the peo-
pie who are in charge-an excellent
salve for a Stacker.
SiXth-The housewives who use to
excess wheat, sugar, fat and meat.
not remembering our national orders
that we must not nun out of these
four absolute necessities. The sugar
and the fats being needed for the am
munition, and the wheat and meat be-
ing needed for the life of our own
soldiers as well as those of our allies.
Seyenth-The people who are for
ever spreading false reports, knock
ing our government and spreading
suspicion among our own ranks of
workers, causing them to grow less
enthusiastic.
Eighth-The people who are con-
suming one ounce more than neeessa-
ry and not adding to our national
strength.
And we could add-The man who
refuses to eat the substitute food pre-
pared by his wife-corn bread, cheap
cuts of meats and etc, and gets mad
and goes to restaurant. where he
finds the same things, only not so
good, and comes home acting like a
bear with sore ear. Also the man
or woman who go to a public eating
house and abuse the waitress because
she will not (when she cannot) give
them more than one teaspoon of sugar
for their tea or coffee.

PLAN TO MOBILIZE
DEFERRED DRAFT MEN
FOR WAR ACTIVITIES
Every Citizen Of This Country
Must Work or Fight Is
Latest Edict

Washington, May l5s- Plans to
mobilize for necessary war work thous-
ands Of men in deferred draft classes
have been framed by Provost Marshal
General Crowder 8 office.
Carrying out his policy of "wOrk or
fight" Csowder proposes first to weed
out loafers hiding behind women IS
skirts through dependency exemptions
and give them the choice Of working
in a wal plant or joining the army.
Secondly, he would transfer to war
tasks men now in non.essential indus
tries or IN positions wherein women re-
place men.
The plan, 1t is stated at the provost
marshall office, has been submitted to
Secretary Baker. Baker himself says
it has not come 'toffieiallyp before
him; that forward hooking PERSONS
however, have proposed such an idea,
but that it has not been acted on.
The plan is the outgrowth of Crowd
er's suggestion to raise the draft ages
to 40 and As for industrial purposes,
which has been laid aside for the
present.
Crowder's plan would affect about
four million men now in classes two
and four, the large dependency classes,
class shree being already made up of
skilled necessary workers and class five
being the totally exempt and physically
rejected.

MANUFACTURE CEREALS.
AT CAPITAL MILLS.
New Industry Will Be
Launched by Recent Pur-
chasers Of Property

Within the next 60 days, Salem will
have q cereal mill of its own, accord
ing to the announcement Of =. W.
Geiser, manager Of the Cherry City
FIGURING Mills.
Some time ago Mr.. Geiser and 9th
ers Of the Cherry City FIGURING Mill
purchased the Capital City FIGURING
Mill, and al a recent session Of the
city council, permission was given
them to move the Cherry City Mill TO
the lots adjoining the Capital City
Mill on Trade and south Church streets
Nh. Geiser and those associated with
him intend to- place all of tho maehin-
cry Of the Capital City mnh in the
Cherry City mill after it has been NOV
ed and to run it exclusively as a flour
mill.
The Capital City mall win then, with
its new machinery, be given over to
the manufacture of oat and barley
flour, as well as corn flour and other
substitutes. Also for the making Of
oat and barley greats In the Capital
City mill will also be placed machin-
cry for the making of chicken feed OF
all kinds.
As soon as these improvements are
completed, the Capital City mill will
be turned into a cereal manufacturing
plant, making especially table rolled
oats.
Part of the Cherry City mill win be
placed Just south Of the Capital City
mill on Trade street for a store room
and part on Church street as the reg
ular FIGURING mill. AS the Capital City
mill now stands, it will be used for
the manufacture of substitute floursi
greats and later for the manufacture
Of cereals. After the changes have been
made, the mill will be prepared TO re
ceive grain in wagon load in bulk OF
train load, doing away with the use of
grain sacks. The storing capacity OF
the mills when consolidated viii be
100000 bushels, and the plant will be
brought up to a modern standard in
every respect.

County Newspapers
Have Words Of Praise
for Senator" Lachmund

Louis Laehmund, who is a candidate
for the state senate from this county
will certainly have something to feel
proud of no matter how the election
results, though there seems but little
doubt that he will be elected by a
handsome majority. The newspapers of
the county have practically all had
something nice 30 say about him, the
ISilverton Tribune says, "Mr. Lach-
mund is a thorough business man and
is as conversant with the requirements
of the people of Marion county as any
man whom they could select TO fill
the office"
The Aurora Observer is still warmer
in its praise for it says: "Mr. Lach'
mund is characterized as a successful
business man, thoroughly %conversant
with the needs of the district, widely
known orchardist and farmer, broad
gagged and public spirited citizen, a
forcible and convincing speaker, o
worthy antagonist in debate and able
to accomplish something for the state
Then the Turner Tribune to help
make the expression of the sentiment
unanimous says: "Mr. Lachmund is
peculiarly fitted to represent Marion
county in the senate and will undoubt'
edly be elected by a large majority. He
is a. successful orchardist and farmer,
not a politician, but able to represent
all the people all the time"
On top of what the newspapers say
his friends in all parts of the county
have still warmer Endorsements fol
him, and the folks here in Salem who
know his course as mayor, are ready tt
back anything said in mis- praise.
