After the war Europe win continue
to look TO America for help; there
will be no crops raised overnight
The 191S-19 Food Program is both
National and a Personal Obligation.
The nation has never failed to meet
all obligations and the individual must

At best the Allied table will be less
than ours, for the Allied peoples are
denying themselves more in order to
transport soldiers
We cannot administer the food prob

continuance Of this shortage.
America can ship so per cent more

The most entertaining feature in an
otherwise perfect and most praisewor-
thy circus program is the continuous
excellent melody throughout the en-
tire performance of the AL. g. Barnes
Circus exhibiting in The Dalles May
80. A 30 piece band, under the direc-
torship of Edward A. Woeckener,
musician Of note, at every exhibition,
the finest selections are played in the
hour preceding the big show. while the
patrons are visiting the animal tents
and being seated. This famous coterie
of fine musicians is in a great measure
responsible for the perfect performing
of each group of animals, as 1t has
been learned that animals are highly
influenced by music and at once fall
into the spirit of the melodies PLAYED.
When dainty Cleo Weber dances in the
den of lions the kittenishness Of these
great monsters are quite astounding
as they sway on their pedestals to the
strain of La Paloma' as the fair
dancer fits about them like fairy,
flirting her beribboned tambourine at
the beasts, who try to fasten the ir
monster paws in the ribbons. All
through the program of l03 acts the
WOeckener band plays the most ex-
quisite and harmonious melodies,
pleasing the most fastidious musician,
who will at once grasp the essential
element the music is to the animal
actors.

In view Of the fact that Rev. Level
len. of the NJ E. church of Hood
River, was criticised by a resident
minister regarding the resolution
adopted by the Sunday School assoeia-
tion at its last session, concerning the
use Of cigarettes in the army, a mis-
construction seems to have been placed
on his words. Rev. Lewellen >did not
assume to be dictator in the premises.
The resolution aimed to discourage the
raising of funds for the purchase of
cigarettes to be sent to the soldiers
indiscrlminately, for many who enter
the army have never been addicted to
the evil habit and the officers in many
camps do not want these influences
thrown around their men, If young
men have unfortunately formed the
habit'of using them before entering
the service. let them buy their own
cigarettes. No fund should be created
to aid business which impairs or de-
stroys efficiency.
There will be regular services at the
church next Sunday morning.
