No TIME To STOP WORK.

The United States Department OF
Agriculture. the State Council Of De-
fense and every administrative body
from the Federal Food administra-
ton down is urging the organization
OF the civilian population to the con-
seryation of food. OF labor and. time
for the ultimate purpose OF winning
the war ..
One of the most important prob
lens in the accomplishment OF that
aim Is that of keeping in touch with
the various governmental agencies,
The food department must have re-
ports OF the crop conditions In every
county in the United States. Il must
know the labor conditions. II must
be informed in advance OF the one
hundred and one exigencies that
arise to affect the situation locally
or It's ability To properly gauge the
national problem is diminished II
not ruined entirely.
The Importance, therefore. of an
accurate knowledge OF conditions In
every county in every state In the
Union Is absolutely essential,
This Information cannot be usp-
piled by voluntary work. IL must
come from competent officials and In
each county Il must come. from a
county agricultural agent, Such an
agent becomes n member of the vari-
Gus departments 10 which his reports
are sent.
Right now Malheur county has no
agent, II has had one or several
years. In view OF the great task
which the nation has 10 perform

not desire to do anything 20 make

THE sToCKMEN's CONVENTION


II is all over, and ontario, n tired
hostess, is now washing the dishes
and putting It's house in order.
Never in the history OF the city Of
Ontario and the County of Malheur
has It been the pleasure OF the citi-
zons to entertain the stockmen. And
pleasure indeed II was.
Before the convention goes into
history. however. the Argus would
like to mark the appreciation which
those who had the arrangements IN
hand have for the patriotic spirit
shown by the citizens generally. the
open-handed hospitality which was
offered. the unfagging industry
which was manifested.
Each one who did his or her part
deserves the unstinted app obatlon
OF the Good and faithful tizen.' -
Ir In the hurry and the worry Of tho
last minute preparations any unto
ward thing was done, or any hasty
word spoken. the charity OF an af-
Tended one, n such there bo, will
cast over It a cloak OF forgiveness.
So far az we know there is no
reason for any apology on the part
OF any one. the best that could be
done was done. Many OF the work.

There are two organizations. how

will admit are deserving OF an es-
pecial word OF commendation; they

and the committee which served the
Cowboys breakfast Words OF
praise could hardly be too fulsome
10 measure their worth. To them will
come the Joy OF work woll done,
which after all is one of life's great
est attainments.
Now all this was possible and is
increased an hundred fold by the
spirit manifested by the guests.
They took Ontario at It's word. They
made themselves at home. They
came for good time In the right
spirit and they evidently enjoyed
themselves, And with a generosity
unexcelled they have told ontarians
how they felt about Il.
All the work. all the worry, all the
effort was worth while. and more.

WANT NO SPECIAL FAvoRs.

II there was one feature more than
another that stood out during the
sessions OF the convention this week
II was that of sincere. undlluted. un-
qualified patriotism. For that, God
be praised, no less would have done
Justice to the cattlemen of Oregon.
This spirit showed itself In almost
every speech made during the ses-
sions. II took tangible form in the
ringing resolutions drawn and passed
by the convention. And II is to that
resolution concerning the enforce
ment of the food regulations TO
which attention is drawn.
BY the passage OF the resolution
declaring the Willingness and the de-
sire OF tho cattlemen 10 conserve
food and 70 cooperate with the duty
constituted authoritieh. no special
favors were asked. The convention
went on record showing It's disap-
proval OF any effort to seek special
Interpretation OF the food laws as NJ
focting them. They are willing to use
substitutes and to make their cooks
use them. and not TO waste them.
This should do much to put at rest
tho feeling OF injustice which some OF
the urban residents have had at the
manner In which permits have been
issued for wheat flour. II should
stop for all time the issuance of such
permits contrary TO the spirit OF the

MUST MAINTAIN GOOD ROADS
Too Much Money Spent for construc-
ton and Too Little for Proper
Maintenance.

In many a county in the South the
condition Of the roads Is the same as
those which the editor Of the Clinton
Democrat describes as existing in his
county. lie says:
r.. 1--WE can't survive the impression
that he have wasted lot Of money {;
tksG-we have built lot Of roads that
have gone back to their former ccndi-
ton, from neglect; that we have bur-
dened our posterity with debt that
has proved to be rather bad invest
ment. We have burdened our children
with the bonds that will be mighty
hard to pay, and we will have to an
swer for=a great deal, if for their $780,
GOO we leave them legacy of mud
holes; heritage Of sand and wster.
One Of the main defects in our present
Sprogram, we think, is the fact that we
are spending all Of our money on con-
struction and are not taking proper
thought for the maintenance of the
roads."-The Progressive Farmer.

HERE is only one wayto give to the Red Cross---
give till your heart says STOP little contribution
is only salve to PRIDE
This is not to say that contributions of only one
dollar or even of only nicke, not desired and
needed.
For you to give SIS when you give $685. for
you to give $25 when you give $500, or to give
$500 when you can give $5O0s to dodge the heaviest
obligation that this war has laid upon you.
For remember, this is not charity: this is
duty.
This is not time to give because Others give
This is time to give because others need.
No man can tell you how much you ought to give'
Except this: that lover There the need is great
that only by cutting to the quick, only by giving all
that you think you give and then more7only
by giving not little Of your excess bit much Of it,
only by taking from your own children and from your
wife and from yourself can the needs the who
are fighting for you and the needs of the children OF
the men who have died for you be met

The maintenance of concrete roads
consists of observing the rules of

develop. Nothing can be done for the
surface when it begins to deteriorste

base for some Of the higher types Of
