AMERICAN SAVINGS WILL
MEASURE WHEAT EXPORTS

1--WE have already exported the
whole of the surplus of the 1917 wheat
harvest, over and above the normal de-
mands Of our own population. 1t is
necessary, therefore. for the food ad-
ministration to restrict export of wheat
90 as to retain In the United States
sufficient supplies to carry our own
people until the next harvest.
Therefore all exports of wheat
frem now forward are limited entirly
to volume Of saving made by the Amer
lean people In their consumption of
wheat and wheat products.
I'VE continued wheat shipments for
December as far as our situation al
lowed, but even with all the conserva-
ton made we were still unable to load
several hundred thousand tons Of food
stuffs urgently required by the allied
nations during the month Of December
alone"

Portland.-O. ID. Buck, one of the
operators at the Commonwealth dam,
left his house before daylight during
the recent storm to do his chores at
the barn, 80 rods distant. He start
ed to return to the barn, being unable
to carry his lantern and pail of milk
through the storm. His wife became
frightened at his long absence and
telephoned for help. Dan Johnson
and Roy Buck walked a mile through
the drifts and found the man at the
barn, chilled by reason of his four
hours Imprisonment, but no serious

HOME DEFENDERS GIVE 5000.
Fremen and Policemen Giving to the

Firemen and policemen, home de-
tenders, are supporting the Red
Cross work by generous contribu-
tons. Between the two departments
q sum Of over $500 will be contri-
huted.
Chief Rawlings and Captain Grace
set the example for the policemen by
giving $25 each. The sergeants are
giving proportionately and the pa
trolmen are giving about IS each. No
set amount is specified.
In the first department the men
voluntarily scaled their amounts,
Chief Dame giving $40, the captains
SIS and heutenants $4 and the men in

The firemen as an association gave

''When war was declared in April

for active service and a large part
of them physically unfit for the work
for which they had volunteered.

service. They are now waiting FOR the
ships to carry them over.
"Our critics now complain that we
have not done more, yet we have done
in one year twice as much as they
thought we could do in two years
Mr.. Caldwell recalled to the atten-
ton of congress statements by various
allied commissions which, he said, had
advised America to send materials, not
men. He continued:
Under the legislation that congress
passed in spite Of the Recommendation
from the Allies, we have already
raised more than 100000 men, and
early in the year 1919 will have
5000, 900 men in the army. We have
now taken the lid off, so that PresI-
dent Wilson may have as great an
army as necessity requires and our
man power ermits. Notwithstanding
the fact that the appropriation meas
view of supporting an army Of only
100000, am confident that before
many months deficiency appropria-
tons may be necessary. We will
probably have 100000 or 5,0OO,O00
men before the end of the next fiscal
Year"
Mr.. Caldwel's estimate Of man
power in America was: Two million
men now in the army; 100000 more
in Glass /, waiting to be called, and
100000 additional in the class Of
men who have become 81 this year.
Glasses ?, 3, and 5, he said, had
5000, 900 other men, and there were
5000 900 boys between 8 and Fl. He
estimated, therefore, that if the war
lasted until 1924 there would be
5000, 900 more men, all of Glass l. He
said the total number Of men Of mill

doctor, am not sick, but I don't
feel right" That is what many say
to me when they come to see me the
first time. And that just expresses
it, You are not sick enough to go
to bed. You can eat, you can sleep,
you can work.
But you don't work with the vim
and zest of former days. Your sleep
is not restful, and you don't enjoy
YOUR food as you once did. And your
nerves get the best of you. Things
bother you, ruffle you, that you never
noticed before. You begin to see diff
ficulties where there really are none.
Trifes worry you, and not having
enough troubles Of your own, you
borrow some.
Of course, to a casual observer you
seem the same, because you are try
ing to control yourself. And if you
should tell a friend, or go to an in
experienced doctor, they will tell you
you only imagine things; you should
shake it off. You begin to doubt your
self You sometimes think they are
right and try to brace up and be
bright and cheerful. But then your
old feeling will come back with re-
newed vigor. You begin to wonder
if it really is your mind only. And if
it Is SO, is it the first step to insan
ity? Anguishing thoughts begin tor
turing you; you are trying your best
to fight them down, to appear happy,
but in vain. You find yourself in
the grip of an invisible power that
seems to sap your life blood.
And when you feel your strength
energy and power slipping away from
you, when you find you can't do JUS
tice to your work any longer, then
you become respondent and might
even feel tempted to end it all.
You are very much in the same
engine, which has not been cared for
right Put it in the hands of an ex-
perienced man and he will soon have
it in fine working order. But trying
your own hand at it, or turn it over

PRIMITIVE WEAPON-A MOHAVE
INDIAN LEGEND.

A prehistoric relic in the form OF
stone hatchet was found the other
day by r. j. Martin on the banks Of
the Colorado river near town, which
calls to mind some of the quaint
| legends of the Mohave tribe of In
dians in which this kind of weapon
played an important part.
This hatchet is fine specimen of
the crude weapons used by primitive
.man, and may be seen at Martin s
! shop 1t is about six inches in
! length by four in width and weighs
/ probably seven or eight pounds.
That it is one of the most ancient is
evident from the fact that it has no
I handle hole, as in the later Speci-
mems, the handle being bound on
| with raWhide thongs, grooves on
either side being provided for this
| purpose. Just where it came FROM
and how many miles it Travelled along
! the course of the river until it reach
| ed the spot where it was found will
! always be a matter of conjecture.
There is one legend in particular
Of the Mohave Indian tribe in which
the stone hatchet figures prominently,
but as the story is a very long one,
only such part as relates to the tribe
and this weapon will be used
According to this tradition, the
Mohave Indians formerly lived in
another world within this earth, the
conditions of which being very much
similar to those of this world. The
chief of this under world tribe was a
demi-gOd, being possessed of super
natural powers. When he saw fit
he would open up a hole in the earth
and permit a small delegation of his
tribesmen to visit the upper world
but these were strictly enjoined not
to return at an appointed time, and
under no conditions to leave any of
/ their weapons or other effects on TOP.
In order that this injunction should
be strictly observed, the opening was
never made twice in the same place
lest the tribesmen should familiarize
themselves with the surroundings
and be tempted Ito wander too far
from the hole
Now the chief was very fond OF the
! fish found in the Colorado river. so
he frequently sent small parties on
top to get some. On one of these oc-
casions a party Of nine tribesmen
was sent for fish, the hole for their
exit being punched close to the
waters edge, somewhere between the
Bill Williams and the Grand CANYON,
The men carried fishing poles and
