CHANGERS OFFEND TWO EDITORS

The Portland Oregonian and Salem Statesman are
very angry
While they were as mum as oysters after assisting the
board Of regents of the o. A. c. to frame up the fake
Kansas yarn that taken excuse to raise Kerrs
salary from $1,000 to $800 they have found their
tongues and are voube in their denunciationof the
people who have been robbed What right they demand
have the taxpayers to protest against this job when the
members Of the board of regents who fed their pockets
are the incest kind of ladies and gentlemen 1t would be
far better FORM according to these papers, to pass reso
tions endorsing the slick little confidence game and ask
them repeat the operation often they see tor
whenever new offer is wreessed from bleeding Kansas.
Really it looks like it up to the grangers to apologize
for being ouchy about their rights taxpayers They
should turn the other check and let the hghoned board
swat them again.

JUST A MINUTE.

Simon Simons, honorary president of
the Society of Economical Sports, was
worried. He knew if he didn't show
Shovel FLYER a good time while he
was in town, he might lose a lot of
business. But between 1880 and noon a
harr- 4houoht struck him.
: uMhy, this IS tneatless Tuesday," he
thought. 81 III take him to the theatre
aud aIuer that ne II want to go to a
restaurant, of course, and IN take him
to Smoo s or somewhere swell like that
and order something wonderful in the
meat line and pretend to be surprised
when they tell me it s meatless Tues
day. -
And that evening he took Shovel FL
yer to the Mismuth to see "The Girl in
the Buckett" whispering to him conf
dentiaIly after each act that the seats
had cost 1920 each including the war
tax, and after the show he said, ''Well,
Fiver, what do you say to a bite at
a restaurant!
g Thanks, old top, l never felt bitter -
replied FIvtr. "A nice tenderlOin steak
with French mushrooms would go di-
rectly to the spot just now."
The very thing l had in mind, -
agreed Simon Simons heartily. And they
walked to Smoo's - (Simon Simons
pointing out that it was a nice night
and that the exercise would do their ap-
petitcs good) and Simon Simons put his
thumbs i'll the armholes of his vest
and ordered two tenderloin steaks with
French mushrooms.
Certainly, sir" said the waiter. Q A
minute earlier, sir, ana I'd have had to
refuse you, sir, being meatless Tuesday,
but it S one minute after midnight now,
sir, making it Wednesday, sir.
And lie departed to give the order,
and Shovel FLYER said to Simon Simons
" Anything wrong, old top9 You're as
white as scared sheet. If you RE not
well YOU d better settle the bill and ring
for a messenger hoy to take you home,
and after finish the steak III be only
too glad to call you up and see how
you feel"
Bat Simon Si-nons just grinned sick
lily and stuck and ate more than his
share.

serving Arbor Day, Mr.. Churchill said:
@ 1t is well to teach our boys and girls
the value of trees, shrubs and flowers,
and to show how they add to our hap
piness and prosperity. Aside from the
planting of trees and the beautifications
of our homes and school grounds, we
are emphasizing the protection of our
forests from fire dangers. Oregon with
her magnificent timber, stands fourth
in the list of lumber producing states,
and even in normal times this industry
brings over $70,000.00 of outside money
into the state every day. Although the
cutting of timber has hardly begun, the
revenue derived from this single source
vegetables and fish combined, and fur
nished employment to more people than
all of our other manufacturing indus
tries put together.
"Arbor Day has been set apart by
law to encourage the planting, protec-
ton and preservation of trees. In order
that the pupils may be prepared to un-
derstand the meaning of Arbor Day and
to enter into the spirit of the exer-
eises, they must first be taught some-
thing of the value Of trees and their
uses. The selections contained in our
manual have been carefully chosen with
a yiew to furnishing the best material
for this instruction. In some parts of
Oregon, nature has supplied an abun-
dance of trees, and here the emphasis
in our instruction should be placed es-
peeially ,rpon the wise use of the forests
and their rrotection from fire dangers.
Much of our state is, however, naturally
treeless and in such sections the neces-
sity for planting trees for their shade,
for the protection which they offer and
for their teauty, should be emphasized.
Many good results have come thru
the observance of Arbor Day in the
past, and with the help of the teachers
and pupils, the good work viii continue
until every school ground in the state
is provided with trees and shrubs. We
hope as a result of our efforts that cur
Oregon boys and girls viii help to pro-
teet the forests; that a larger number
of our school grounds and homes will
be improved and made more attractive
through the planting of trees, shrubbery
and flowers; and that the lives and
characters of all of us may be enrich
ed through a better understanding and
a more intimate association with the
beauties. and wonders of nature. -

GARFIELD IS PROBABLY RIGHT

Fuel Administrator Garfield makes a strong case in
replying to those attacking his order closing large por

shows there are 116 ships in the harbor at New York
which sail for lack of COAL Of what use" he
asks lis it to go manufacturing and stuff

amounts that will be lost by five days deness but does
not the same argument apply against the observance of
holidays or the keeping of the Sabbath?
Vociferous claims are made that it will mean bank
upcy to many, and this is argument at ALL for if any
firm is close to bankruptcy that five days Of enforced
dleness will break it, it would go broke anyway On top
of all the order simply takes the bull by the horns to

the situation would the 116 ships the docks

subservient.
AS another argument the loss of five days time is fig

is shown there many millions of them and their
wages will amount to many millions the aggre

Brazil needs American cap itaI for investment in agricultural .en- terprises and the building of new rail- roads and the development of her mag nificent water powers. Furthermore, Brazil will need a market for her bonds and stocks and she should be able to find that market in the United States. This will mean the sales in Brazil of American electrical machinery, railroad equipment and other apparatus and this will create freight for the return voy- ages of American ships which operate regularly in the Brazilian coffee ana passenger trade. t

He has been in France for one year and wears two service stripes on his left arm as we'll gold star, denoting he was among the first 10O,- 900 troops to land in France, which is known as the sacrifice troops He ar rived in the United States three weeks ago, and since that time has been ! speaking in the Liberty Loan campaign. While very modest, he talked most Interestingly of his varied experiences on the battle field in the hospital and 1 in the rest camps, when asked about them. He stated that his regiment was l in the recent engagements at Chateau lThierry and after several hours of the | fighting he had his left hand shot off and was carried back to the hospital | just behind the lines, later being transferred to a base hospital where l he remained for three months.
 TRENCH LIFE HARD
 ! "The 167th regiment relieved my regiment during this fighting and it was at that time that many of your | Alabama boys were killed and wound ed," said Private Trudao. For six months, off and on, my regiment was ! in the trenches and then we stayed
 
 out being relieved. The trenches are
 knee deep in mud and water and the rats and scooties are very bad and will 1 not allow a fellow to sleep much, even | if he wanted to-"
 When in rest camp and behind the l lines we get good food and plenty of 1 it, but when we are in the trenches | under fire it is hard to get the sup | plies up to the lines and during that 1 time the food is not good nSndl. The Red Cross nurses and phy- l sicians in the hospitals are as good as 1 can be to the men and do everything | they can for them You can bet we | boys appreciate this more than we can say, for it certainly does make life
 more pleasant in the hospitals"
 l Private Trudao stated his company
 had just been relieved in the trenches and had returned to rest camp for a | few days. Some of the Salvation army workers came down to the camp and told the boys to come up to the hut; l they had something for them. He went with a number of others and on reach fling there were served real doughnuts 1 and hot chocolate. The boys were told l to help themselves and as it had been such long time since they had seen any doughnuts they made themselves
 sick. N l Private Trudao expects to get fur
 tough to go home the latter part of
 month in Boston, after which he will
 use his efforts to be sent back to i France, either in the quartermaster corps or in the clerical department. ] The loss of his hand will not prevent
 him from doing this work, he states,
