Urges South to Produce
More Food

Secretary McAdoo, as Director
General of the Railroads, has issu-
ed a statement declaring that the
production by each section of the
United States of its own food and
feed stuff would be more economi
cal and would effect a great relief
in the transportation problem.
He urges upon the people of the
South, especially the farmers, to
relieve the strain on the railroads
as much as possible the coming
year by producing their own food
and feed crops, thus rendering I'M
necessary the transportation of
such materials from other parts of
the country to them.
The Secretary emphasizes the
fact that he does not suggest that
the growing of cotton should be
discouraged, but that the South,
in addition to raising all the cotton
that it can well cultivate, should
grow hay and corn for its stock
and produce as much food as pos
sible for its own people.
He says, IF the South can feed
itself, the effect will be to release
from unnecessary service in the
South a vast number of freight
cars and engine and great
ly help to win the war"

School Opened Monday.

After an enforced vacation of fiv,
weeks. Heppner schools opened
again Monday with all teachers ii
attendance. The influenza ban wa
lifted and all departments of thu
work was resumed, though with 6
somewhat light attendance. Some
parents. perhaps, were little
afraid that it might be too soon to
allow the children to come together
again In the school rooms, but there
Is also quite an epidemic of mumps
In town and many were kept away
on this account. The school board
feels that there is now no particular
danger from the Influenza as tina,
disease is fast disappearing, and
every precaution is being taken at
the school building to have plenty
OF fresh air and thorough fumiga-
tion.
There has been serious loss of
time that will have to be made up.
A program has been worked OUT
that Will shorten some of the play
periods and lengthen the class
periods so that by the end of the
second semester the lost time will
have been recovered. This will
necessitate closer application on the
part of pupils to make up their
studies. Parents are therefore re-
quesred TO help with the home
study work and by their cooperation
the pnpils will be able to reach the
proper standing at the end of the
year 10 entitle them to promotion.
Ii you can tighten the work on the
boys and girls at home, mornings
and evenings, it will give them a
better opportunity to work at their
books The school board and the
faculty are united in making this
request that the very best can be
made OF a situation that none of us
were responsible for.
In the new arrangement of things
at the school house there is the
very best of cooperation on the part
OF teachers in both the High School
and the grades, and they each and
all stand ready to do their very best
in bringing the classes up to the
point where they should have been
had the influenza not interfered
with the work.

HIGHWAYS WILL Be
IMPORTANT FACTOR
Motor Transport Service Will
Help Solve Transportation
Problems.

Julius L. Meier, Regional Director
for Oregon, Washington and Idaho
of the Highways Transport Com
mittee, Council of National Defense,
under date of November 18, 1918,
has issued Bulletin No. / from his
office in Portland, and as it covers
subject of vital interest, we are
glad 9 give 1t space in our columns.
Man cannot live alone-the few
noteworthy exceptions who have
Robinson Crusoed" have merely
given the world some interesting
tales, so | take it as automatic that
as long as the earth is inhabited,
man must travel about from social
and economic necessity. We will
cease to need roads and cease to
transport ourselves and commodities
when mankind ceases to exist, so
why should it be our everlasting lot
to wallow knee-deep through mud
and almost impossible roads in
Winter, and during Summer be
followed in all our travels by an
obnoxious cloud of dust A road
should not be considered for this
generation alone, but be a factor of
such prominence and permanence as
our present experience teaches.
Let me briefly show how good
roads reflect values to farm lands
when transportation is available.
A given piece of land will produce a
crop that requires of the owner an
expenditure for seed, fertilizer,
labor, wear and tear depreciation
on tools, machinery and implements;
then the crop moves to market and
great factor in the farmers profit
will depend on the cost and the
promptness of this transportation !;
the net return from a farm handi-
capped by lack of transportation is
less than from one that has it;
transportation is a double-edged
sword--for it cuts the costs on the
return farm-needed articles as well,
such as groceries, seeds, etc. Before
the pastoral stage of man he depend
ed on what he could find; then by
subduing living creatures he depend
ed on his tlocks for food and cloth
ing, they living on what they could
find; then the agricultural stage
came and was an immensely import
ant growth, for man now learned to
manage plants and raise them at
will; men now ceased to roam about
and settled in one place; then came
private ownership of land, increase
in population, the building Of COM
munities and the growth Of cities and
finally the market.
The Highways Transport Commit
tee of the Council of National De-
fense is now we'll organized to en-
courage and promote all endeavors
to utilize the highways to their full
modern extent, and to this end is
now directing the establishment Of
highway rapid-motor service. This
is not necessarily a product Of the
war, but delayed work that would
have been successful If formulated

FOOD CONSERVATION WEEK.

According to telegraphic instruc-
1ons from Mr.. Hoover, the week
Dec. Al, will be observed as food
conservation week. 1t is planned to
put On a campaign for the purpose
OF Informing the people as to the
real food situation in the world.
BY that time the neutral countries
ana The Central Empires will be
able TO furnish some information.
which will give an approximate
estimate of their needs. The an
nuai report of the Food Administra
uOn reveals some astonishing re-
suits. While nearly the whole con-
servation program was purely volun-
tary. the American people demon
strated their ability to do great
thing There have been some shady
spOts; some people who through
Ignorance, selfishness, or lack of
patriotism have fallen short. But
the aggregate amount of food saved
is almost beyond the grasp of the
mind.
Let us all decide that we will do
cur part during conservation week
to inform ourselves and those
around us as to the food situation,
and let us be Just as ready to re-
spOnd to the call as we were before
peace came. No one will be asked to
do anything unreasonable, but all
viii be asked to do something. In
tllls work America may not only
perform a commendable human
italian act, but she will be executing
a master business stroke.

before this because of the facilities
available through the use of modern
trucks, and this conclusion has been
proven sound by the satisfactory re-
suits obtained by motor transporta-
tion in support of the war.
Julius L. Meier. regional director
of the highways transport comnittee,
has begun a vigorous campaign to
establish dependable motor truck
transportation based in many respects
upon present Governmental parcel
post delivery methods of the post
office department. He Is checking up
localities that have motor truck
lines and those where such facilities
are now lacking. State Director
Amos Benson has been out checking
conditions of highways in localities
that are now planning the immediate
establishment of such rural motor
express service, and especially has
he been active in causing the early
completion of highways that we're
begun this summer. Earnest re-
sponse from the contractors to COM
ply with his wishes has been graft
flying to him.
Chairman of District No. I, Fred
A. Rasch will leave in few days to
make study of the conditions with
view to establishing receiving sta
tions at the road functions to the
main highways, and at the farmers
premises, so there will be prompt
receipt and dispatch of all com mod
tiles shipped or delivered.
Facilities should be arranged so
that farmer who puts any pYoduce
on his shipping platform with in
structions to the carrier may return
to his farm and continue his work
without any need for personal ex-
change of felicities.
The motor express service will!
stop but a moment and be ON it's
way. The farmer may put in the
box request for merchandise to be
purchased for him and returned on
the same day, and in this wise he
can order meats or fish with as much
case as if living in the city and hav-
ing available market home deliv-
cries.
Mr.. Herbert Num-, State Highway
Engineer, is giving his earnest CO.
operation to this work, and in view
of the termination of the war it looks
as if road building will be the major
| industry very soon, until both city
and country reap the full advantage
of such service as only good roads
can give.
Mr.. julius l.. Meier, director of
highways committee, is just in re-
ceipt of a telegram from Edward N.
Hurley, chairman of the United
States Shipping Board, in which he
urges renewed action and vigor in
all movements that pertain to motor
truck transportation He says:
Food must begin to move soon
from every hill through every valley
of the great country behind our
shores down to the shipping points
/ before we can start our ships from
the ports and fulfill our duty, and
with the promise of the wars end
before us the highways transport
committee throughout this land
could and should render 81 peace
time service by stimulating highways
transport of nourishment and sup
plies so badly needed. Routes and
channels from shipping points must
be opened up and efficiently main
tanned, and our merchant marine
must be built up to meet the demands

Cross activity is no longer necessary,
let us not forget the misery and
suffering throughout the world that
still call to us to continue our
production activity along other
lines"
In order that the Chapters and
Auxiliaries may be further informed,
we give in full the message referred
70 in the communication above.
The message comes from the War
Council of the American Red Cross,
and is of vital interest to all:
"On February 10 last year
nearly six weeks before the
United States declared war National
Red Cross Headquarters advised its
chapters to prepare for war. That
which has followed in the record of
the Red Cross in helping to win this
war and to relieve the suffering
growing out of it, constitutes some
thing of which every American
citizen has right to be proud.
Every American Red Cross worker
must feel sense of gratitude in
having had share in it all.
THE moment is now come to
prepare for peace. Actual peace
may come at any moment; it may be
deferred for some time. Until peace
is really here there can be no
relaxation in any Red Cross effort
incident to active hostilities.
But with peace, let no one sup
pose that the work of the Red Cross
is finished. Millions of American
boys are still under arms. Thousands
OF them are sick or wounded Owing
to the shortage in shipping, it may
take a year or more to bring our
boys home from France But what
ever the time, our protecting arms
must be about them and their
families over the whole period
which must elapse before the normal
life Of peace can be resumed.
"Our soldiers and sailors are en-
listed until the commander in chief
tells them there is no more work
for them to do in the war. Let
every Red Cross member and worker
show our returning soldiers and
sailors that to care for their health,
welfare and happiness, we are en-
listed for no less a period than they
are.
1.-THE cessation of war will reveal
a picture of misery such as the
world has never seen before,
especially in the many countries
which cannot help themselves. The
American people will expect the
Red Cross to continue to act as their
agent in repairing broken spirits and
broken bodies. Peace terms and
peace conditions will determine how
We may best minister to the vast
stricken areas which have been har-
rowed by war, and in this great act
~ mercy, the heart and spirit of the
American people must continue to be
modified through the American Red
Cross.
ION behalf of the War Council, we
accordingly ask each member of our
splendid body of workers through
out the land to bear in mind the
solemn obligation which rests upon
each one to carry on. We cannot
abate one instant in our efforts or
in our spirit There will be an
abundance of work to do, and
specific advices will be given, but
even at the moment of peace let no
Red Cross worker falter.
"Our spirits must call us to show
that it is not the roar of cannon
or the blood of our own alone that
directs our activities, but that "a
great people will continue to re-
spond greatly and freely to its .obli-
cation and opportunity to serve
mankind"

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Country-
wide investigation of the cost of liv-

labor statistics to obtain date for use
in making wage adjustments.
Information will be gathered from
families regarding their annual ex-
penditures for food, clothing, hous-

eous expenses. This information is
expected to be useful not only to
the government, but to the house
wife as well, enabling her to know
exactly what she is getting for her
money.
From data already gathered by
the bureau, an increase of three per
