Bio Saving in Sugar.

Washington.-An annual saving of
100000 pounds of sugar and 49,
100000 pounds of shortening is the

Why not swap all the Moscow dogs for an equal

FOREST FIRE LOSS
Is LESS IN 1917

Losses from fires in national for.
ests last year amounted to $l,35S,-
900, according to figures compiled
by the Forest Service. While the loss
was larger than for several years, it
vas unusually light considering the
dangerous conditions Protracted
drought and periods of high winds
made conditions virtually the same
as in 1910, when S25, 200, 900 worth
of timber on national forests was de.
stroyed.
Careless campers were responsible
for 1888 fires. Railroads, partly
through failure to comply with the
law, set 1,003, while the number of
incendiary fires is given as 952, The
total number of fires fought was
1914. All but 2,132 set by light
ming, were caused by human agen-
cies.

HOW RETURNS ARE NOTED
Map System to Be Used During Third
Liberty Loan Drive.

Returns from the various countieg
Of the state will be indicated at the
Oregon State central Liberty Loan
headquarters; Portland, on a color
scheme map, as will every town and
district in which quota has been
assigned, by yellow thumb tack.
The counties will have large headed
tack and the districts small yellow
one.
AS soon as onehalf of the assigned
quota has been reached in each town
or district a red thumb tack will re
place the yellow one on the map.
Similarly with the counties on the
state map Each county headquarters
will have their own map with the
county divided into convenient dis.
tricts which are to be bulletined like
wise.
When the full quota in each town
and district is attained 1t will be desi
ignated by blue thNmb tack. This
system will afford an accurate check
and will indicate those counties and
districts of the state which are doing
the most effective work in the Third
Liberty Loan Campaign.
In each town and district solicitor
will be sent out with the Government
household QUESTIONABLE upon which
is written pertinent facts concerning
the individuals ability to subscribe
Should the person be unable to SUBJ
scribe One-half of the amount esti'
mated that he is able to, a yellow
card will be sent into district head
quarters. When more than one-hali
but less than the full assignment has
been received red card replaces the
yellow, and blue card is used when
the full quota of the individual has
been subscribed. This system gives
an accurate and detailed check on
every person and the state and county
headquarters will know exactly what
can be expected and what is being
done.
The master map at Washington. d.
c., will indicate the advance in each
state and the entire country.

Frence is original and efficient in
her methods.
For years Germany has permeated
the earth with her spies-both mill
tary and commercial--who preached
German efficiency, and took observa-
tions on the side.
Germany pioneers in nothing but
robbery, murder, rape, arson and kul-
tur.
France gave the world Pasteur
who laid the foundation for modern
medicine, and ever since Germany
has been giving the bugs a merry
chase-and calling it German eff
cheney.
Italy gave the world the wireless,
and from tho, day the first word
Jared the virgin cons of the atmos-
phere, Germany has been setting up
great wireless stations on alien
shores for the avowed purpose of de-
stroying democracy.
The United States gave the world
an Edison-a wizard with a thou

first submarine (Which Germany re-
fused to buy, but stole outright, the
Wright brothers, the first pioneers
OF the air. Germany took up the
wondrous deeds of these and other
great men, dressed them in German
clothes, and said to the world, BE
hold! We are the efficient" and said
IL so often the world came to believe
it, She hired our newspapers to
propagate our kultur and pave the
way for what has happened.
And, folks at home, keep your
eyes ever and anon on the newspa-

favored the German cause.
The Jingle of the dollar helps the
hurt that honor feels-"The voice

was the hand of Esau."
A mother in Belgium saw a Ger

her children. The German demand

His wants were satisfied. In the
morning, to the surprise of the good
woman, he paid her. She said.
How strange thought all Ger
mans were bad. am pleased to
know that you are a gentleman. Do
you know that when | first saw you

"So?" replied the German, 81 too

Whereupon the fond mother called
up the treasures of her heart from
the cellar, only to see them both shot
dead at her feet.
In the hiatus of her grief she told

CRY FROM TRENCHES
TO FOLKS AT HOME

The following is copied from tn
Roseburg News, and is said to hav,
been published by request from on
OF the boys at the front:
Samuel ]. Kirkwood, secretary o
the interior in the cabinets of Presi
dents Garfield and Arthur, while wal
governor of Iowa, in the year 1861
made a aSpeech from the steps of the
cid capitol building in which he sale
in substances:
"These are troublesome times and
there are traitors and spies in our
midst who would destroy this union
IL any man in this state is traitor
to the cause or insults the flag, shoot
him in the act, or in the uttering OF
the word. I am the governor; you!
pardon awaits you"
What the United States needs at
the present time is As war governors
like Samuel j. Kirkwood.
AS people we have too much ego
in our Comos. We do a big thing in
big way but frequently neglect the
details. Just now we are on the big
gest job the world has ever known,
and it is up to us to get down to the
materalistic and utilitarian.
We who are in France and those
who are to follow have no fear for
the months of toll and battle that lie
before us-but we do want to know
that the spies and traitors who are
seeking to block our avenues of sup
plies and munitions shall not sue
ceed.
Alien enemies should be watched
and accounted for. For three nights
the writer was with a French patrol
in one of the largest cities in France,
that made the rounds from 1890
p. m. to 2 a. m. Different patrols
started in different directions from
a central base and literally fine
combed the city. Sleepers in the
parks were routed out, hotels and
lodging houses were invaded, pedes-
trians were held up and each was
made, civilian and soldier alike, to
show his credentials. In centers of
