AS TO CHICKEN FEED

We note many articles in our exchanges concerning the
raising of chickens and increasing the poultry of the
country. All these deal with the young chicks and tell
you how to feed them until they are six to ten weeks old.
After that age" they say, feed them just as you do old
|~chickens." That is just where the rub comes in. With
wheat forbidden as chicken feed, and corn at a higher
price than wheat, and scarce at chat, how can the older
chickens be fed at all? That is the question city people
with a few chickens would like to have answered. The
Oregon food administration wants the city dweller to
raise a few chickens to help out the meat supply, but per-
Inlts the %profiteers to make it practically impossible. Corn
more than $1.15 in Nebraska, yet here in Oregon it is sell
ing at $3.50 and even higher. 1t is suggested that Food
Conserver W. B. Aver get off the Portland library board
which is having plenty of business of its own, and turn his
attention to the job he has been selected for.

Leslie GODDARD, of Cottage Grove, sure has a solid head
if the reports of an accident happening him are true. The
dispatch says he was struck on the head by a falling tree
with such force that four upper and two lower teeth snap
ped off" Otherwise apparently his head was not hurt.
The tabulation by counties and cities made Saturday
by the state manager of the third liberty loan shows that
only four cities or towns have failed to subscribe their
full quota. 1t is expected all of these will come through
soon, as this in addition to giving the state the honor of
being first to subscribe her full quota, would place her in
the unique position of having every town and county in
the state subscribe its full quota. The towns still shy.

The dispatches from France tell of our boys getting
into the fighting and of making a good showing at it, and
at the same time are SO worded as though this was a mat
ter OF some surprise. No one who has given the matter
serious thought ever expected anything else than a show
of which not only we of America but the whole world
might be proud. The German generals sneered at Amer
leans as fighters, but they will have a different conception
OF them before the war is a month older. In fact German
sentiment as to the American soldier is changing rapidly.
The same may be said as to the Junkers opinion of Amer
lea as an integral part of the war. They laughed when
told America had declared war or Germany. but that
laugh has vanished never to return.
