The Pacific Coast Defense League
favors a system of military highways,
embracing the three states of the Pa
ofic coast.
Admitting the necessity for such
a system Of military defense and COM
n,ercial highways on the Pacific
coast. one of the very good argu-
rents for its construction in the
closed war period is the problem Of
This labor.
Until such a time as the COM
r,erce of the nation and the indus
tries of Oregon. which are now in
many ways devoted to the one big
object OF our country-that of free
ing the world of militarism-have
passed through the transitory point
which We must expect, would il not

effort to get all the farmers to fill
cut these questionnaires and send
them in, so he will enlist the services
of the Jackson County Agricultural
Association members to assist in the
campaign. Present indications are for
a labor shortage in many sections.
Should it be absolutely impossible for
any community to handle its own la
bor problem, it may be necessary to
resort to conscription of farm labor
or the detailing of military forces to
assist the farmers during harvest.
There is no way to determine what
this labor demand will be except
from the farmers themselves. Hence
the questionnaires.
There will be no time to waste
after the farmers have received the
blanks. 1t will be every farmers
duty to give the information as
and cheerfully as our young
men have reported for duty in the
army and navy. Both are for the
purpose of helping win the war. Only
questions of vital Importance to the
government will be asked.

The Expression Of Many a Kidney

A stubborn backache is cause TO

backache. Many times | couldn't lie

POTATOES EACH MEAL

Have an Irish potato on your table
at every meal. This is the advice
and request of Federal Food Admin
istrator w. B. Aver, who asks every
family in Oregon to eat potatoes
every day.
The food administration, co-operat-
ing with the Department of Agricul-
tnre. has taken definite steps to sta
bilize the potato industry, both as to
production and as to distribution.
The potato has been found to be the
most valuable staple in the diet of
Germany, most efficient of nations,
and without the potato, it has been
said, the civilian population of Ger

cumbed to starvation.

tato. Let us make the potato the
backbone of our diet. 1t is whole

priced We need the potato as a ma

time we will be conserving other food

WHAT TO EXPECT
OF RECONSTRUCTION

Some interesting figures on what
may be expected in the period Of re-
construction following the war, par
ticularly how ii will affect the pros
poets Of Oregon. were given TO the
public recently by ]. r. Bowles, head
OF the Northwest Steel Company and
the Northwest Ship Building Com
pany OF Portland, Oregon.
Mr.. Bowles was speaking on ship

future before the Rotary Club at the
invitation of that body To L. J.

and statements made by Mr.. Bowles.
who is in a position to know, seemed
Of particular import.
The ship-building plant headed by
Mr.. Bowles and his associates is the
biggest on the Willamette or Column
hls rivers and one OF the largest in
the northwest. The firm has con-
tracts amounting to millions and mil
lions Of dollars. The excellent wages
established. pressure Of wartime de-
D'ands for speed, etc, are attracting
men from all over the country.
Homes are being built everywhere
Houses and dwellings in Portland are
ST a premium, especially near these
great industrial plants. Mr.. Bowles
in his talk estimated that before long

State Food Administration
Explains End Of Ban on Sugar

NEWARK, Dec. 12:-In view of
the large number of inquiries as to
the reasons for the removal of re-.
strictions upon the use of sugar ! n
households. and especially from h
service of sugar in the public eating
places, the federal food administra-
ton for New Jersey today issued the
following statement:
Since its inception the U. 8. food
Administrations policy has been 10
adjust it's conservation requests with
conservation necessities and the pub
lie has shown its appreciation of this
frankness by immediate response.
at may astonish the public to
know that during the months of July,
August, September, october and No
yember this year, the American peo-
pie saved no less than 776,000 tons OF
sugar over their normal consumption.
This conservation, of course, includes
the amount of sugar saved by the re-
strictions placed o n confectionery
and soft drink products.
1.-The food administrators object
in asking for economy in the use or
sugar was to ensure O supply that
would be adequate to meet the needs
of the Allies who would have to de-
pend on the same sources as the
United States as long as the war last
ed. 1t was necessary to take precau-
lions so that there would be a GER
tainty of sufficient sugar through the
year. With the signing of the armis-
tice the situation was Immediately
changed, Just as 1t was with all meas
ures taken with the needs of a con-
tinuing war in view. AS soon as the
armistice made a change In our sugar
program possible the restrictions
were lifted.
"While it is true that certain states
on the eastern seaboard are still
lacking a plentiful supply of sugar,
It Is also a fact hat with the Cuban
crop almost upon us. we have a large
surplus of western beet sugar and
Louisiana cane g and II is quite
permissible to return to the normal
use of sugar wherever 1t is available.
It is a great relief TO the food admin
istration to feel that no extraordinary
sacrifice In the use OF sugar is re-
quired of our people until further no.
tice.
Until Mr.. Hoover's return the food
administration will outline no def
mite campaign of saving on any spec
flied commodities. A great deal will
depend upon the supplies which are
tries of Europe n in the arrange
lied Food Council.
THE people of America are urged
to eliminate waste rigidly. This ad-
vice applies TO all foodstuffs, includ-
ing sugar, from which the necessary
and artificial restrictions have now
been removed"
