GET THE GORMANDIZER.

More and more it becomes evident
that if the government is to succeed
in enforcing the meatless and wheat
less days and meals there will have
to be some drastic regulations that
will apply directly to the eater. Ho-
tells and restaurants in all parts of
the country complain that while they
are anxious to obey the order to the
letter, they have great trouble with
customers, many of these growing
violently angry and withdrawing
their patronage. OF course the fell
low who is guilty Of such action is
a poor fish at best, but then food pur-
veyors can not take too close notice
of the moral quality of their patrons.
There should be some regulation that
will impress the fact in unmistakable
terms on the gormand that Uncle
Sam is going to save that wheat and
meat, and that he is going to do his
pro rata part in that saving. We
must go after the eater and not the
feeder if we are to score success.

we are farming, the greatest aid we
can render will be measured by the
size of our crops. The same in all
lines. We can render absolutely no
aid if we discuss the situation from
now till next spring. We can, how
ever, help to make confusion worse
confounded by abandoning ourselves
to hysterical discussions and specu-
lations.
Another phase of the situation In
which we should keep cool and pre-
serve an even tenor is in the matter
of giving credence to the thousands
of sensational reports circulated.
Many of these are the product of
idle brains and the outgrowth of the
very useless discussions we have
sought to discourage. The people
will be informed from an authorita-
tive source of all matters that affect
the public welfare. Sensational re-
ports that have not the sanction of
the Washington authorities should
be frowned upon and discouraged.
You are always safe in disbelieving
and contradicting all such.
Taken by and large, while condi-
tions are not normal, still there is
really no good reason for hysterical
worry. Goodness and common sense,
added to increased application and
energy, will cary us safely through
and enable our government to win
out in the mammoth undertaking
before it.

WAR HYSTERIA.

Nothing can be more harmful to
the business life of the country than
for the people to give way to hys-
teria over the war. There are
enough disturbing factors in the bus
iness situation, growing out of the
war problems, without our adding to
them unnecessarily. But this we do
whenever we permit thoughts of the
war to obtrude into business or
cause us to vacillate or hesitate over
ordinary business problems.
Business conditions are now more
than ever subject to sudden change,
hence there is all the more reason
that the people keep cool and steady,
But these changes are more in meth
cd than anything else, and consis-
tent application to business will en-
able us to grasp them as they occur
and continue.to conduct business in
safe channels.
Another thing: There are men at
Washington and elsewhere who are
drawing salaries for developing our
war policies. Our help in this mat
ter is not needed. We can render
the greatest aid to our country in
this crisis by making of our busi-
ness-it matters not what it may be
the greatest success possible. If

NORTHWEST LIBERAL
TO ARMENIAN RELIEF

What is believed to be the largest
check for charity ever sent from the
northwest was one for $4,000,
mailed February 20 to the American
committee for Armenian and Syrian
relief from Portland, by the Oregon
branch, of which j. j. Handsaker is
secretary and Ben Selling treasurer.
This check is part of the quota Of
$15O,0OO asked from Oregon for re-
lief of over 100000 sufferers in
Asia Minor. County campaigns are
being launched all over the state, in
an effort to raise or pass this quota.
In their unselfish effort to help
haise the $SO,000,OOO asked from
the United States, over 700 maya
zines are giving display advertise
ments free this month. One maya
zine not only urges its readers to
respond to this appeal, but backs up
its statement with its own check for
$4,000.
The need not only for this fund
but for continuing funds is shown
from the following cablegram from
Cairo, dated February 8;
Bethlehem clinic, Hebron hos
pital, Jerusalem dispensary, with

to be done when spring really opens.
One more thought while on this
subject. Plan to not let the garden
interfere with the larger and greater
work each man and woman must do
in this year of supreme endeavor.
To effect this, the garden should be
made a means of recreation, and
should take the place OF baseball,
football, tennis, golf, joy-riding and
other amusements. 1t should be the
solace of the jaded business man and
the tired society woman. Yes, the
women will find renewed health and
yigor from a few hours each day
spent in gardening.
And then when we have these gar
dcns growing and producing, let us
make a wise use of their products,
that we may conserve even more
meats and wheat for our heroes
over yonder" and our allies who
are fighung by their sides. Garden
sass" is an ideal summer diet.

FIVE TOWNS AFTER
THE NORMAL SCHOOL

According to reports from that sec
tion, five of the larger cities of east
ern Oregon are preparing to fight to
secure the location of the eastern
Oregon state normal school, which
will be established on the passage of
the referred measure which is to
come up at the next state election.
Baker is the latest to enter the
field. At meeting there Wednes-
day the Commercial Association made
definite preparations for doing its
best to secure the location of the
school, should one be established.
The Dalles was the first city to
announce itself in the field of honor.
Shortly after the passage of the
normal school measure by the legis-
lature year ago that city began its
preparations to work actively for the
school. Just recently La Grande

TESTS USED FOR
PHYSICAL FITNESS

The director of athletics at one
army camp has arranged a program
as a means of determining the rela-
tive athletic caliber of the companies
in the division. Each man is re-
quired to pass in eight of the follow
ing tests to obtain a positive mark
for his unit:
Jump feet from a standing posi-
ton; chin 10 times; clear a bar at

SALAMAGUNDI.

This country has made some very
successful drives" during the past
year. There have been two Liberty
Loan drives, the Red Cross drive,
the Y. NJ. G. A. drive, and others.
But greatest of all, the 1917 drive
for the greatest development of war
gardens the world has ever seen.
And the success of this drive is still
plainly to be seen in the great
abundance of canned and dried
fruits and vegetables to be found in
the homes of the land. There is no
doubt that these gardens have play
ed most important part in our plan
of food conservation, and are still
effective.
And now again the country is
called upon for a record production
of foodstuffs, an even greater if pos
sible than the last. The success of
the garden. campaign of last year
should spur Is to renewed and great
e. efforts this year. There should
not be an idle garden or back yard
in the land. Every square foot of
ground should be made to yield its
quota of the food that is to win the
world war.
Now is the time to be planning
these gardens. 1t is not necessary
TO wait until the time comes for
actual planting. When that time az
rives every person should have
planned the entire summers pro
gram and should know Just what
every foot Of his ground is intended
to produce. Fences should be put in
thorough repair, the ground should
be cleared of all Instructions and
nothing but the mechanical working
out of matured plans should remain

AFTER THE BIG ONES.

II is gratifying to the people that
the government has begun to work
on the food hoarders, and is bring
ing TO light many boarded supplies.
The good work should be kept up.
But let's not confine ourselves to
the small fish and the minnows.
There are some whales in the ocean
that need looking after. Dollars to
doughnuts, before Heney gets
through with certain gentlemen
dealing largely in food supplies, he
will uncover a matter of boarding
that will make the country open its
eyes. At 'em, Heney.

"ACE" MEDALS GIVEN
FOR w. +. S. SALES

The government has entrusted a
nationwide task to the Boy Scouts
of America in the sale of of war saw
ings stamps. A unique plan of
identifying the Scout sales through
specially printed franked red post
cards has been devised by the treas
ury and postoffice departments.
Special rewards have been offered
by the government to the successful
Scouts in this year-long campaign,
including one emblem following the
design of the Ace" medal given to
the most daring French aviators.
The Scouts will canvass every city
and town and rural community in
the sale of thrift stamps and war
savings stamps. Under this govern
ment plan the Scouts will sell the
stamps, and the money will be col
Plected and delivered through the
postoffice department. When a sale
has been made, the Scout will get the
signature on the red postcard, which
will then be mailed at the nearest
place. The local postmaster will
then deliver c. o. D. the thrift
stamps or war savings stamps called
for.
The idea of the "Ace medal" is an
adaptation of the plan Of the French
government in awarding honors to
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1918-03-07

its aviators. An "Ace" in France is
an airman who has brought down
five enemy aoroplanes within the
French lines. An "Ace Scout" is
one whose red postcards show that
he has met the government require
ments in the sale of stamps. For
each additional 800 of orders that
the "Ace Scout" turns in he will
receive bronze palm to be fastened
to the ribbon of his medal.
