Liberty Loan Campaign
Song Is Selected
Portland. Oregon. April 10.

Portland, Oregon, April 10.
What arc you going to do for Uncle
Sammy9
What are you going to do to help the
boys3
If y0E mean 10 stay at home
While they re fighting cor the foam
The least that you can do is buy a
liberty Bond or two.
If you're going to be a sympathetic
miser
The kind that only lends a lot of
noise
You're 10 better than the n who
loves the kaiser;
50 what are you going to do to help
the boys "
This IS the chorus to a song which
has been donated to the services of the
Third Liberty Loan. Through an ar
rangement with the publishers, copies
viii be furnished free for campaign
purposes. ''What Are You Going to
Do to Help the Boys7'' may be OBJ
tanned at Liberty Loan headquarters
or at the Remiek Song Shop.
Liberty Loan committees throughout
the state may obtain the song, words
and music, free of charge by communi-
with H. E. Langlaise, 324 Wash
Street, Portland.
The song is the product of Gus Kahn
and Egbert Van Alstyne. The former
wrote the words and the latter com
posed the music The song probably
best epitomizes the spirit of the Liber-
ty Loan drive of anything yet written.
It IS snapPy and full Of punch" and
in the eastern states where it has al
ready been adopted, it is being sung at
al patriotic gatherings. Eyen The

DISPLAYING THE zen

1t is claimed that since 1914 the government has added
2l4,OO0 women to its payrolls and that more than 100000
more have taken up some trade or work. This is already
being felt in the scarcity of domestic help. This is an
other feature of labor that will have to be dealt with from
the union labor standpoint in the very near future. The
cooks, the walters unions and such are already in ex-
istence, but these apply especially to the male specimens
of those handicrafts. Before long we may expect to read
of the meetings and strikes of the chambermaids and the
family cooks unions. It is possible that many of those
matrons who keep a hired girl or two may be forced to
do the family cooking and the daughters Of the house to
forego the afternoon auto drive for a whirl at the house
work and the making Of the family beds. 1t might not be
a bad change either. 1t would appear that there is no
longer men enough to do the worlds work especially
along with its fighting, and that this condition is forcing
women into the places formerly occupied solely by the
men. 1t may be that men will be forced out Of many of
the lighter occupations before long and their places be
taken by women. It may be that there will be a back to
the farm movement because Of lack Of opportunity al
the indoor occupations by the men folk. This change
might not be all for the bad either.

This term is dear to the heart Of

With doctors the condition is
known under such terms as
excitement, neurasthenia, hysteria,
and hypOchondria.
1t is perhaps best expressed by the
term nervous excitement"
Nervousness from real disease. or
from an impending event of serious
ness and great Importance, is easily
understood, and it would be a rare
person who did not suffer from

1t is a pretty dark outlook on the Flanders front but
military experts are still confident the Germans cannot
break through the British lines, and as long as they do
not accomplish this, all is well. The Germans have
poured a million and a quarter men in a flood against the
British lines, and that they should give way before such
a tremendous assault is easily understood. What is hard
er to understand is why every available bit of reserves is
not thrown against the TeutOn hosts. There must be a
point at which this elimination will face the allies, and it
looks as though the time and place were both at hand.
In the leading editorial of the Capital Journal yester-
day the linotype operator with his mind evidently on the
situation in Holland prefxed the Dutch word "Ya" to a
quotation, and he even spelled the Dutch word wrong.
The quotation was:
"The noblest place for man 20 die
Is where he dies for man."

Evaporation of Fruits,
Vegetables Explained
i'm New o. A. C. Bulletin

o. A. c., Corvallis, Aug. 26,-"Evap-
Grafton of Fruits and Vegetables in
the Home" is the title of Extension
Bulletin No. 296, just off the press,
in which A. F. Barss. assistant profess
sor of pomology, gives sufficiently de-
tailed information to enable anyone
to construct and operate an cvapora-
tor and to evaporate satisfactorily
most of the fruits and vegetables used
in the average home.
The object in evaporation IS to pre-
serve the fruits and vegetables
through removal of moisture and to
do this with as little change from the
fresh state as possible in taste, odor,
nutritive qualities and general ap~
pearance.
The principle upon which the pro-
cess of evaporation is based Is that
by removing enough of the moisture
present in fruits and vegetables, the
organisms which cause food to spoil
cannot live and grow, thus bringing
about preservation. Evaporation will
also arrest the natural processes of
ripening and decaying.

Hun Troop Morale
Shattered by Allied
Firing Superiority

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Aug. 2S.-Further evidence
has been gathered that the victories
of the allies have affected consider
ably the morale of German troops.
The cause of the depression, which
is quite general among the prisoners,
is the conclusion that they have
realized that the allies artillery
tactics are far superior to theirs. They
attribute their defeat to the success
of the French encircling their strong
est positions and in well directed and
concentrated artillery fire.
Dissensions seem to have arisen be-
tween different elements OF the Ger
man army, which has resulted in bit
ter recriminations.
The bulk of the Juvigny plateau is
in the hands of the French. French
cavalry patrols crossed the Ailette to-
day, altho the Germans resisted des-
perately.

Some of the important points in
silo construction brought out are as
follows
The foundation should be wen con.
structed and should be of concreae.
possessing the greatest possible den.
sity, so as to prevent the silage juice
from seeping through into the barn
yard.
The top of the foundation should
be at least ten inches a bove the
ground line.
The walls of the silo should be
practically air-tight,
The inner surfaces of the walls
should be smooth and perpendicuplar,
The inner surfaces of the walls
round silos are more efficient and
economical than other types.
A good roof makes the silo more
durable, adds greatly to It's appear
ance and assists materially in keep
ing the silage from drying out.
The bulletin is entitled, "a Silo for
Every Farm" and may be had for
the asking.
