Let Us Answer for Ourselves.

The veteran journalist. Charles H.
Shinn of Fresno, Call writes friend
in Gardiner:
Il rode horseback so miles in the
mountains the other day. An old
woman came out of her cabin. Say!
YOU know all them big ones-you tell
Hoover to come down harder. we'll
live on half as much-no wheat at
all: meat on Sundays: no candy; no
beer. nor whiskey; sugar on a ra-
ton; everybody alike; ell for men,
pigs
In that one day in these Sierras
so full Of poor. busy, plain living peo-
pie. five groups said the same thing
to me-
This testimony is doubly interest
ing from such source. 1t is not
colored by the enthusiasm of a
drive" worker: it is the breath of
patriotism blown from the broad
reaches thousands of miles farther
away from the scene of conflict than
we are. Are we ready to go as far,
or are we SO tied up to our practices
and our profits that we cannot re-
lease our grip even when we realize
the gamble with the chance of los
ing all? How many of us eve fear
far too many) are banking on letting
the other fellow do the "sacrificing'
while we sieze the opportunity to
gain lap in the race for position
after the war?
Selfshness conceived and gave
birth to the war. and se,fishness may
yet cost itself dear in prolongation
OF the war. The worst enemy
America has today is self Illness;
and 1t is not the greed of the COM
mon producing people in the quiet
places, but the selfishness bred by in
tcnsive competition and perverted
desire to beat" and to indulge.

The LUMBER CUT
Of U. S. Showed 10 Per
Cent. Decrease 1917

! Washington, June 2S.--A total
computed lumber cut for the United
States in 1917 of IS, S31, 239 900 feet is
announced by the Forest Service.
This figure is based on reports re-
ceived up to May IS, from 16,408 saw
mills out of the 24,S15 believed to
have operated last year. 1t is esti-
mated that the actual cut in 1917. on
the basis of compiled figures, was
approximately 10 per cent. less than
/ the production in 1915.
The falling off in lumber produc-
/ ton during the past year Is attributed
principally to largely decreased pri-
vate building operations, the scarcity
of labor in connection with small OPP
erations. transportation difficulties,
curtaiment Of demand on the part Of
wood using industries, and more
or less general dislocation of lumber
distribution through ordinary chan
nels of trade. A considerable portion
of the total quantity produced was
utilized in meeting the exceptional
demands for government construc-
ton and other war emergency pro-
jects, including ship material.
The State Of Washington was
again the largest producer. with a
lumber cut of 4,570,000,000 feet;
Louisiana was second with 4,210,0o0,-
900 feet. and Oregon third with 1856
100000 feet, crowding into the fourth
position Mississippi with cut Of o.
425, 100000 feet.
Southern yellow pine, with total
of 1859, 464, 900 feet, forms 37.7 per
cent. of the total cut. Douglas fir, it's,
nearest competitor, is credited with
1855, 100000 feet. White oak and
white pine are each credited with -
25o.o00.0oo feet.
The number of mills in operation
Reporting in 1917 was smaller than
for the two preceding years.
A comparison of the computed cut
for 1917 with the total cut of the pre-
vious year in the larger producing
regions shows a decrease Of about 10
per cent in the southern yellow pine
group Of states a decrease Of 20 per
fcent. in the North Carolina pine
group. and a decrease of ] ! per cent,
in the Lake States. On the other
hand there was an increase in pro-
iuction of per cent. in Oregon and
Washington.

than one dish Of that course should be
served to any one person.
4. Portions of meats should be made
as small as is consistent with the re-
quirements of an average appetite
B. Neither roast beef nor steaks
should be served more than once

twice.
Now that resort hotels are opening
all over this State the full coopera-
ton of hotel proprictors is still more
important.
That the benefit of the influence Of
these hotels may be fully reaped, it
is suggested that where Mattresses
are employed they adopt the Food
Administration uniform. The ad-
vantage Of it's economy, GOODNESS, and
practicability is urged, and II is asked
that. if the full uniform can not be
worn. the cap, or at least the insignia
on the left arm, be adopted. In this
way. in addition to the hotels CO.
operation in food conservation, there
will always be the continual. visible
reminder of the presence and neces-
sity for food army in this country.

Ont in the fertile pna+ fasde

Out in the fertile peat fields of
southern California the heavy draf
horse would be useless for blowing
and cultivating. but for wooden
shoeiwhich was invented by some in
genious rancher, and which can be
quickly clamped on-the horses hoofs.
says the Popular Science Monthly.
With his wooden shoes the horse can
walk safely or surface of peat that
quivers like jelly with This weight.
The shoes must be adjusted to suit
the habit of the horse. If he has a
tendency to knock his feet together.
they must be trimmed off on the
sides. although it is obviously best to
have them as wide as possible They
are clamped on by means of small
iron rods. curved to fit the hoof.

ffunism In America.

Greed still manifests it's power tc
delay where it cannot defeat
progress. Opposition to the efficiency
and saving of national prohibition
calls its most powerful dupes and
tools to the front. Delay is probable,
that more millions may be proiteered
out Of the masses by the pro- German
booze interests. Suffrage. too. is
trigged and cheated and betrayed and
delayed by the human weaknesses
and lusts that brought the fate of
Sodom
While theorists figured that ship
workers we're such contemplate
traitors that they wouldn't work
without beer, ship builders have been
pleading for prohibition to increase
the output.
While theorists have been arguing
that coal miners must booze or they
wouldn't work, coal operators have
been pleading for prohibition as an
absolute essential to the avoidance of
another fuel famine.
While pin wheel, trot about. dane
ing Dervish radicals have been
theorizing that the Germans would
rebel and eat up the country unless
they were kept tanked up. the maxi
ers OF war munitions have begged for
relief from the ravages Of beer and
whisky.
While the churches, the women,
the Industrial leaders and the intel
lectual captains of the country have
entreated that this liquor question be
settled on its merits, the beer trade,
worm eaten with the maggots of
treason. has prolonged it's diabolical,
pro- German activities for year.
And how? BY fiibustering and the
threat OF filibustering. BY chicanery
and wire-pulling. BY bullying of the
most vicious sort.
Now the time has come when it
must be known whether those who
stand by the Government, who pay
the taxes. run the industries and give
the nation 80 per cent Of it's power
are going to be stood by. If this
country is going to be run by and for
the Ehrets and Busches and their ilk,
let us know it. II it is going to be
run by such men as Edison. Ford, and
their kind-run for the great mass of
the common people-let US know it.
