LOAN ENTHUSIASM
HIGHER IN COUNTY
FOURTH BOND ISSUE GOING
STRONG IN OUTLYING
DISTRICTS.

This Fourth Liberty Loan is going
better in the country districts of
Thurston county than any of the
preceding loans, according to the
statements of the Liberty Loan COM
mittee, Several communities have
already gone cover the top" with
completed quotcs-the distinction of
being first belonging to Maytown,
which is now trying to double it's
quota.
Interesting meetings where SOL
dicrs entertained have been held at
Tenino and Grand Mound. Other
meetings have been arranged. one
being held at Rainier Friday even
ing.
Sergeant Plunkett who saw serv-
ice at Chateau Thicrry, said at Ten
ino:
There is no No Mans Land in
front of the American troops--it is
Yankee Land. We put UP a sign
and we made good on it."
"America has put up a sign and Is
going to make good on it. This Lib
erty Loan is the present means OF
our making good. 1t is The Amount
of Money the Nation Now Needs
and because Uncle Sam needs the
money, we must go over the top with
the full quota" says Rev. r. Frank
lin Hart. county publicity manager
for the Fourth Liberty Loan.
TOO many people have only been
purchasing what amount of bonds
they have money in hand to pay for"
he continued, but that is not
enough. The. nation is asking not
only our present savings, but also all
our possible savings for the next five
months.
"Our quota Is the amount the ma
tion needs from us. Whether 1t Is
easy or hard to raise makes no diff
ference. All that does make a diff
ference is that Uncle Sam needs the
money. And no right thinking Amer
lean will hold out on Uncle Sam.
Buy bonds, for that is the only
way you can get what you want ana
then get your money back. For
bonds mean victory"

THE WORLDS SHIPPING SITUATION

Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the admiralty OF Great
Britain, yesterday made report to the house OF commons
concerning the worlds shipping and what has happened
to it since The war began. His statement and figures make
interesting reading. He estimates the total OF the worlds
shipping belonging to allied and neutral nations at the
beginning Of the war at 33,000000 tons. Of this he says
the losses by submarines and natural causes have been
about 100000 tons. The Germans claim nine million
tons have been sunk but fifty per cent Of this ne declares
is for home consumption. During the same time the new
ships added amount to about 3,500,00O tons, and this
leaves the total net loss alta s per cent of the worlds
total or 2,500,O tons. At first glarce it would hardly be
thought that a shortage of only 8 per cent of the ocean
carrying power would cause such a drastic need OF ships,
but there are several reasons for this. Germany,s mer-
chant marine in home ports is quite a factor in the worlds
shipping and on top of tbs the demands for ships is great
" increased by the war. The transporting of the Amer
lean troops along with munitions and supplies requires a
good sized fleet, and the furnishing Of %foOdstuffs for the
allies to make up shortages that are far above normal re-
quires many additional ships.
In fact the demand for ships has increased fifty per
cent while the tonnage has shrunk at least 8 per cent. 1t
is this condition that is causing the continuous cry to
speed up on ships. In a few months more America will be
turning a steady stream Of new ships into the channels OF
trade, and it is expected by August, at the least, the
worlds fleet will have ceased to decrease, and to have
started to grow again. With the decrease of submarine
destructiveness and perhaps the building OF concrete ships
the congestion Of ocean freights will begin to be relieved.

STAND BY THE POTATO

While the potato is an article of general use as a food
It is not nearly so much so as in some other countries. The
average in America is somewhere around two bushels for.
with an allowance Of 100000 bushels for seed and
waste a crop of 100000 bushels proved abundant for
all needs. Owing to an extra effort last year the crop
totaled about 100000 bushels or about 100000
bushels above the five year average. While there is still
an abundance of spuds, it was indeed fortunate that this
bumper crop was raised, for it was a substitute badly
needed, and that is still called on more heavily each day
to take the place of cereals needed for export. With
three months yet until the new crop is available it is
likely the market will be pretty thoroughly cleaned by the
end of the season. This should emphasize the necessity
of raising another bumper crop this year. Remember
they may be needed to prevent suffering. 1t is possible
also that dehydratng plants will be multiplied this Fall,
for the potato so treated makes a fine substitute for
grains and one that on account Of its ~lightness makes it a
profitable substitute as a shipper. A hundred million
bushels of potatoes can be made to take the place of
10000, 900 bushels Of grain and can be exported in not as
great bulk and at the same time in so palatable a shape
as to be really preferable to the wheat flour. Don't be
afraid Of the good old standby the potato. The German
farmers consume an average of IL bushels per capita of
the lowly spud and it is up to us here in America to eat
more Of him and save the wheat flour. The potato is
indigenous to America and as an edible is of comparative
ly recent discovery. If is was introduced into Virginia
in the seventeenth century and into Europe later. It be-
longs to the same family as the deadly nightshade, and
although there are more than a thousand varieties of the
plant, but two, the potato and the egg plant, are suitable
for food.

The Woman Who Changed

By Jane Phelps

If George could go motoring with his
friends, why of course I could also go
out with minei Perhaps sometime with
Merton Gray. l started to say something
of the kind to George, but just then
the telephone rang and l had no chance.
"Who was it" l asked when he re-
turned to the table just as James
brought out the dessert.
cit was a personal CALL" George an
swered, scowling, after l had repeated
the question, thinking he had not heard
me the first time.
Rebuked and cowed, but also hurt at
his tone, L made no further effort to
talk. AS soon as we finished dinner he
ran upstairs, and in an incredibly short
time was down again dressed in his
evening clothes.
I Good night! Go to bed early" he
said, giving me one Of his careless kiss
es. Sometimes l felt l would rather he
would not kiss me at all; yet, even to
be noticed was neutrality-suspicious..
Evidently some one had asked him
to go out, when he went to the tele-
phone, for he had said something which
gave me to understand he intended to
remain home for the evening.
Carlessly 1 walked to the little booth
under the stairs where the telephone for
the first floor was installed. | had nj
intention of using it; no real reason
to go there.
A piece of paper torn from the little
pad we kept on the wall, was on the
floor where George had either thrown,
or dropped it. 1 picked it up and,
smoothing it out, saw a telephone num-
Der on it.
Was that where George had cones

She did so, and to my delight it was

CREATED A DEFICIENCY

The Emergency Board took the matter of policing the
state into its hands yesterday and without any very great
discussion, and with only one dissenting vote declared an
emergency existed and created a deficiency Of a quarter
of a million dollars. Attention has been called for some
time to the helpless condition Of the state should any
real trouble arise, and at one time the governor is said to
have seriously contemplated calling a session OF the legis-
lature to provide adequate protection. While the state
has had some labor troubles, they have as a general thing
been of a not very serious character, but they were
enough to make thoughtful persons see the necessity of
having some state force that could be called on ii needed.
Just now in Idaho theh |. w. w. are making considerable
trouble, and while evidently that state is trying to take
care of them, it is always possible that they and their KIND
will be turned over to a neighboring state, the passing
of the buck being easier than dealing with the problem at
home. 1t is realized that with such an invasion the state
of Oregon might be compelled to act, with no power to do
so. 1t was at first thought a further deficiency OF S35O,OOO
would have to be created to provide equipment for the
militia but his was overcome and the extra deficiency
avoided. The resolution creating the deficiency was
drafted by Gus Moser, and voted for by Governor Witty
combe and Secretary of State Olcott so there is no political
divergence of opinion among the republican candidates
for governor. and besides one of the candidates. For U. S.
senator, Speaker Stanfeld, is a member of the board and
voted to create the deficiency.

THE YELLED LADY.
XXI.


Evelyn did not remain long; and
did not wonder. My mind was SO in
s~istantly trying to think who the yelled
lady with George could be, that 1 was
very mattentiye to my caller.
Evidently when George found it i'm
possible to take me because of my red
eyes, he had invited someone in my
place. But Evelyn had said she was
so "done up in wells" as to be unrec-
ognizable. l might have gone, had |
asked George to allow me to wear a
heavy veil, 1 thought; then l knew he
never would have consen ed. | did wish
L could do something 50 that | never
would cry again as long as l lived, but
whenever anything hurt or angered me,
the tears always came III spite of every
thing l could do. / was what George
called ''the weepy kline"
L drcss-d carefully, and when George
came in, about half an hour before din
ner, my face showed no traces of tears.
l ran to the door to meet him, and
tried not to notice the carelessness with
which he returned my kiss.
L followed him upstairs and while he
freshened up for dinner l talked to him.
Finally 1 said:
"Eyelyn Reeve came over for a little
while this afternoon. She came very
soon after you left. She thought l was
with you"
sit was your own fault that you were
notl" impatiently replied George.
"She said you had some woman all
done up in wells; that's the reason she
thought it was L with you. She couldn' It
see her face"
George made no reply, but l noticed
a slight scowl on his face. Foolishly
1 went On:
81 might have gone that way. If /
had worn a heavy veil, my red eyes
would not have shown through it."
"You may as well understand now,
that 1 shall not take you anywhere
when you have been weeping. If you
choose to make a fright of yourself, you
may remain where my friends do not
see you"
"Who was that lady with you7'' I
asked, ready to weep again because of
his severely uncompromising tone.
"Madge Loring-although it is none
of your business"
Thu Call to Dinner Interrupts
just then Annie announced dinner
and we said no more. But all through
the very quiet meal-George scarcely
spoke save when the butler was in the
room-I kept thinking of what he had
said about taking Madge Loring riding
with him. Was it ''none of my bust
as he had declared? Was it an
other of those things done by society
which | had been taught to be-
quite an aufait for married peo-
pie?
In our little home town it would have
been a nine days scandal for a married
man to take out another mans wife, UNI
less his wife also was of the party. But
everything in Morelands was so differ
emit. People here seemed to have a codo
of behavior totally unlike that Of the
homefolks.
Then suddenly flashed another
thought:
