Editor The Herald:
One day while standing at the win
dow looking at the one lone star on
Red Cross the thought came to
me. You are a, selfish man, Charles.
Here you are blessed with a wife
and eleven living and healthy children
and six more little tots across the
great divide. Out Of that bunch only
one light burning, representative
among all of the thousands Of sick.
countries. Man wants the honor. the
woman gets the work. Man works
from SUI till sun, but the woman's
work is never done.
If it is good for the mar to belong
to the Red Cross it is equally good
for the mother and the children. BE
sure to take the little ones along,
for it makes, a complete family pic
ture and we can teach them a lesson
Of industry, economy and charity. We
have thirteen stars in our cross now
and I would like to see every home in
the lane with all it's members join
The Red Cross. What power for good
in the world. .
A home and country divided will
fall, but in union there is strength.
We all can't go to the front, some
have got to stay at home to provide

wet, muddy and cold trench while
you and I have a warm room, clean

You don't see the hero on No Mans

The United States Civil Service
Commission is calling for women for
government work of not less than 60
different kinds. The list includes
stenographers, typists, bookkeepers,
other clerks of a score or more Of
cIassifications which require training
in some special or technical line, sta
tisticiaps, operators of various kinds
of calculating, addressing, and dupli-
eating machines; proof readers, law
clerks, welfare executive secretaries,
craftsmen of a dozen kinds, telegraph
and telephone operators, trained
nurses, chemists, physicists, library
assistants, inspectors of undergar-
ments, finger-palnt classifiers, and
many others.
The commission urges women to
offer their services to the govern
ment at this time of great need. AS
men are called to the colors, women
must take their places and keep the
machinery behind the armed forces
moving at the maximum of efficiency.
Representatives of the Civil Service
Commission at the postoffices in all
important cities are prepared to fur
nish definite information and appli
cation blanks.

GOVERNMENT NEEDS
WOMEN FOR WAR WORK

Washington, D. c., May 20.-More
and more, as the war program prog
resses, is the government depending
upon women to perform the tremend-
ously increased volume of work in
the civil branches The force of civ
ilian employees in Washington, D. c.,
increased from 10000 to approx
mately 10000 during the first year
of our participation in the war. OF
this increase of 10000 more than
$4,000 are women. Women make up
the increase in government offices
and establishments outside of Wash
ington in less proportion, for the rea-
son that the greatest expansion in
the field has been in the large manu-
featuring plants of the war and navy
departments, where thousands of me-
ohanics and laborers are employed in
shipbuilding and in manufacturing
ordnance and other war material,
Women are not available for employ
ment in trades positions to any great
extent, but their services are being
utilized in every way that is practic-
able.

MEN NOW IN DRAFT
AGE MUST REGISTER

Portland, May 20.-Registration of
the young men of Oregon and other
states who have reached the age of
21 years since last June 5 will be re-
quired on a day soon to be set by
proclamation of President Wilson.
In the meantime, the task of or
ganizing Oregon for this new regis
tration of men for military service
has already begun under instructions
from the War Department. These
instructions emphasize the need for
perfecting beforehand complete
working organization so that on The
day set the registration will be 100
per cent strong.
On last June 8, all men between the
ages of 21 and 80 years, inclusive,
were required to register for military
service. AS the number of men now
in the 21-year-old class is estimated
to be approximately only one-tenth of
those registered then, the task this
year will not be so great.
Every young man who has attained
his 21st birthday since last June s.,
for his own protection, should keep
we'll posted as to the day fixed by the
President for the registration, for ig-
norance of the registration date will
not be accepted as an excuse for fail
ing to register.

and growing scarcity.
Statistics compiled under the sup
ervision of J. D. Northrop, of the
United States Geological Survey, De-
partment Of the Interior, from reports
submitted by all railroad companies
that operated oil-burning locomotives
in the United States show that the
quantity Of fuel oil consumed by
them in 1917 was 45,7O7OS2 barrels,
gain of 3,5SO,665 barrels, or S.5
per cent over 1916 and a larger con-
sumption than in any other year.
The total distance covered by oil
burning engines in 1917 was 146,-
997,1 miles, and the average dis
tance covered per barrel of fuel con-
sumed was 3.2 miles. Oil-burning To-
comotiyes we're operated in 1917 over
32,431 miles of track in 21 states.

Hay Curing Topic
At Dairy Meeting

The proper curing of hay is mat
ter of first Importance. There is no
crop grown that requires more care
in harvesting and none is more easily
damaged by neglect. Because of the
high price of grains and mill feeds,
quality in hay and other roughage is
of more Importance than ever before.

dews and rain and general weather.
ing may reduce the feeding value Of
hay so per cent.
Early cut hay is best for dairy cat
tie. A common rule Is to cut during
the early bloom. At this stage the
protein content is high and palatabil-
ity at its maximum. Cut alfalfa
when in early bloom and when the
new sprouts are we'll started; clover
when in full bloom; vetch when first
pods are about half formed.
Curing is accomplished largely
through the moisture in stem and
stalk being thrown off through the
leaves. If the leaves are allowed to
quickly dry and shrivel in the sun,
curing is retarded, quality Injured
and leaves and fine stems lost. Cur
ing in the windrow or cock provides
partial shade of the leaves and al
lows them to complete their work.
The leaves of the alfalfa plant con-
tain over Is per cent protein while
the stems have less than 2 per cent.
if properly cured, hay should be of n
light green color, retain most of its
leaves and have a pleasing aroma.
Quality in hay means milk and but

At the dairymens' meeting to be
held in Ashland on May 2S, Prof. e.
B. Fits of the Agricultural College,
will discuss hay making, including
cutting, curing, harvesting and stor-
ing. All dairymen are invited to be
present.

FIRST SUBSCRIBER
TO RED CROSS DRIVE

Claimants for premier honors in
the Second War drive of the Ameri-
can Red Cross are B. T. Hnizda, of
Willamina, Oregon, who says he is
the first subscriber in the state at
large, and J. w. MacCallum, 1S1 East
14th street, Portland, Oregon. The
actual drive does not begin till May
20. Liberty Loan officials were still
in Liberty Temple at Portland when
Mr.. Hnizda came in and demanded
that his subscription be accepted on
behalf of the Red Cross A Liberty
Loan official received the money and
turned it over to the Red Cross two
days later,
"I should like to hear from any
person in Oregon who thinks he beat
my record" said Mr. Hnizda.
Mr.. Hnizda operates a sawmill in
a virgin forest near Willamrna, and
some time ago he made a pledge that
the first money received should be
divided among patriotic organiza-
tions.
His first order for ship knees
amounted to $245.4O. He spent half
of this sum for Liberty Bonds and
War Saving Stamps, one-quarter or
$61.35, he gave to the Red Cross
Second War Fund, and the balance
he reserved for another patriotic Or
ganization.
Paul Kelly, newspaper man, was
the second subscriber to be recorded
in Portland.
