ALL SOLDIERS ARE
URGED TO INSURE

In recent letter to W. A Isen-

of Nation Defense. Bruce Dennis. di-
rector of the work in Oregon. SAYS.
What seems to be to pe a matter
of great importance and one that
should be called to the attention of
all soldiers and sailors enlisted from
Oregon, as well as to their relatives.
is the recent order of Congress eX-
tending the time for war risk inSur-
ance to April 18th, Under prior
order the time for applying for this
insurance expired February 18th, hut
two months additional time has been
given by the new order
Automatic insurance, however,
has ceased entirely and no man is
now insured by the Government un-
less he has applied This makes
voluntary application doubly impor.

The State Council of Defense Will
also greatly appreciate anything you
Can do to urge upon relatives and
friends of enlisted men from Oregon
the importance of writing to their
boys at least once every two weeks.
Letters from home do wonderful
good and We would suggest that the
letters be at all times cheerful. Let
Us keep our home TROUBLES to our
selves and put nothing but the bright
side forward to our heroic BOYS who

TINE war GARDEN

During the next few months every
available vacant lot in Hood River
should be planted to beans, potatoes or
some other root crop or vegetable.
Many and successful were the vacant
lot gardens of Hood River last year.
But a fine lot of fertile areas were
never plaAted. If every professional
and business mahwiii sinply determine
to arise an hour earlier and to do a
little work before supper each evening,
wonderful lot of food can be pro-
duced The worker will have profted

but he will end the season with muscles

SUBSTITUTES FOR
WHEAT ARE GIVEN

What are wheat substitutes? is a
common question among the housewives
AT the present time, and how much
must get? is a second question.
AT present there are IL substitutes,
as follows:
Cornmeal flour, potato flour, rice
flour, barley flour. buckwheat flour,
rye flour for the month of March, oat-
meal. rolled oats. corn starch, corn
grits. hominy. cornmeal, rice.
Whole wheat and graham are sold
with the same stipulations as wheat
flour, which is that when wheat tlours
are bought one third as much substi-
tutes must also be purchased at the
same time.
For example, if "a pounds of wheat
has been bought that means eight
pounds of substitute must go with it.
This need not be all one kind of substi-
tute, it may be two pounds of rice. one
pound cornstarch, five pounds rolled
oats, the total Of which will amount to
the eight pounds.

MIXTURE GROWS REPt CHANT

The brutality of kutur is growing
repugnant to the people of Germany.
While we are told that the strikes of
German workers have been suppressed,
the very fact Of the uprising reported
is evidence that the civilian population
Of the German empire is revolving in
thought against the propaganda that
the PrHssan autoeracy is dispensing at
home. German kultur is growing re-
pugnant at home as well as abroad.
Still the mailed fist has. the upper
hand in the land of the kaiser. The

reported in numerous daily papers,
with Rev. ~. Aloysius Daniels, a

know what German kultur means,
and there is nothing too tiendish to
class under it. 1t means taking school,
boys, placing guns in their hands and
sending them to do mems work in a
front-line trench. 1t means devitaiZ-
ing German women, putting them to
cleaning the streets, making mum.
tions, and, at the same time, starving
them. 1t means making starved and
diseased generation of the children Of
Germany. 1t means deserting the
aged men and women. refusing even to
give them nourishment because they
cannot help the Kaiser carry or his
war.
Those who go to pOlice station and
ask permission to buy milk or eggs for
sick person are Immediately asked,
"How old is the sick man" If the
person who is i'll is beyond any age of
active service, food is at once refused.
That man is Of no use to us. We have
nothing for him." is the customary
reply.
If any man who is spreading German
propaganda in this country and secret

three years he would welcome the first
opportunity to return to the United
States, and would thank God thereaf
ter for the blessing OF a democratic
government.
How long will It be before the Ger
man people see themselves as the rest
of the world sees them? When will
they break the hypnotic spell the kai-
ser has cast over them, throw off the
yoke of Junkerism and repudiate the
tiendish teachings of Prussianism?

THAT LINE OF SHIPS

In an article in the current Golfers

CHUCkH0LE CLUBS

County Agent Tweed, of Baker
county. has propoSed''a movement that
ought to interest every man in Oregon.
1t IS a pan that ought to be passed on
throughout the government. Mr.
Tweed proposes a ''Chuckhole Club. -
Sounds like ground hog or something
like that, doesn't it? Well, this is
what Mr.. Tweed proposes He sug-
gests that the citizens of Baker county
organize themselves into cooperate
ROociation for keeping the highways
in the best of repair. Every man
pledges himself to fix at least one
chuckhole in Baker county roads every
day. Drivers of horsedrawn and mo-
tor cars will carry shovels. and when
they see place in the road that needs
fixing they will repair that place at
lce.
The plan meets with the approval of
the Oregonian, which points out that
now is the time, from psychological
standpoint, to make such organizations
successful. The war has Drought home
to the Individual the need of his CO.
operation with every other citizen.
This need has been demonstrated in
the work of the food administration
The chuckhole plan brings to our
mind that old story for children the
story about the prince who scooped out
hOllow in the main highway and
placed therein b&x Of gold. Over the
gold huge boulder was rolled. Trav-
elers by the thousands passed and re-
passed that boulder. Each man waited

lowly. poor pedestrian, we believe, at
least it ought to have been to make the
story more dramatic-who rolled away
