quality can be grown in various sect
ions of the United States, yet it can
not be said that the industry has ev-
er become established here. One reas-
on for this is that much cooperation
is necessary between the different
branches of the industry, and up to
the present time this cooperation has
not existed. The farmer can grow
the flax. but before doing so he
should be assured of a market"
This obstacle has been removed as
far as Lynden is concerned. Gilt
edge contracts are now being offered
Lynden farmers who will plant flax.

Thrones are shaking. rulers tremble.
Kings and Kaisers find no rest;
Aid the nations seem to gamble
For the price they think the best.

About the dear ones 'cress the sea.

But though We deeply feel astonished
And don't know what to say

He alone rules night and day.

tons for licenses OF marine engi-
neers. These schools have already
produced about 1900 engineers and,
like the deck officers trained by the
recruiting service. all OF them are
American citizens. All of these
schools. of course, are free. They
offer a splendid opportunity for men
with a little experience or training
and tirst-clasS ability to win a high
place in the marine profession.
Mr.. Howard claims for his train
ing schools for officers and engineers
that they prevented a shortage OF
men in these grades last year, even
before the shipping board began to
launch vessels.
While these training schools were
in operation the recruiting service
received thousands of letters from
young men in all parts of the coun-
try, who had had no experience at
sea. They wanted to know how they
could fit themselves to enter the mer-
chant marine. The number of these
applicants convinced Mr.. Howard that
the new merchant marine could be
manned as we'll as differed by Amer
ican citizens. He accordingly obtain
ed approval for plan by which two
coastwise passenger ships were COM
missioned as school ships for the
training of these inexperienced men.
Two more such training ships have
subsequently been commissioned, and
a fifth is being fitted out on the Pa
cific coast. Several thousands ap-
prentices are learning the business OF
seamen on these vessels.

crative employments to sail through
submarine-infested waters under the
American flag. Many of these have
frankly given as their reason that
they have always longed to return
to the sea.
When the American shipbuilding
program was first projected the pre-
diction was commonly made that men
could not be found who were quail
fled to sail them. The event has
proved that there were thousands o.:
men in the United States who had
been deep water sailors and had re-
tired from the sea only because of
the decline of our merchant marine;
that there are thousands of fishermen
who would welcome the chance to go
to sea, and that in all parts of the
country there were young men who
had never been on salt water, but
who had felt the lure of it.
It is gratifying in a purely senti-
mental way to know that Americans
still possess the skill and spirit that
made them once the greatest mari
time people in the world And of
great practical as we'll as sentimental

ing. which she considers important,
to a quart and pint of water, and
a teaspoonful of common salt.
This is to be boiled over quick
fire for 10 minutes, stirring occasion
ally. Then pour off all or nearly all
the water; cover the vessel and put
over a very slow fire and allow it
to steam for Is minutes at least,
stirring occasionally. The rice will
be soft or grainy, according to the
quantity of water left on 1t when
put to steam and the length of time
allowed in the steaming. The larger
the quantity of water and the shorter
the steaming, the softer will be the
rice.
OF course, other methods are used
in boiling rice. or at least modifica-
tions of the recipe given, but it must
be remembered that the results
should not be a glutinous mass, and
that success depends upon the proper
amount Of water used and the length
of time in steaming.

POTATO CROP HAS
MANY UPS AND DOWNS

A series of ups and downs is OBJ
served in the progress of the potato
industry of the country, by Prof. G.
R. Hyslop, head of farm crops OF
the Oregon experiment station.
Usually large yield is associated
with low prices, followed by smaller
paintings resulting in smaller crops
and higher prices" he says. This
encourages the growers to take an
other plunge in potatoes, and the ex-
cess planting, especially in good
years, produce an enormous oversup-
ply and accompanying low prices.
1.-The year 1916 was a splendid po-
tato year in Oregon, but not in the
states east of the Rocky mountains.

value is the fact that the new Ameri-
can merchant marine is to be truly
American, in personnel as well as
ownership, from the stoke hole to the
bridge.
One of those who asserted from
the first that Americans would be
found. to man American vessels are
Henry Howard of Boston, a New
Highlander who has spent his life in
the shipping business and, like many
another New Englander. lived in the
hope of the day when the American
flag would again hold a foremost
place in the ports of the world.
When we entered the war Mr.. Ho-
ward went about preparing plan
for recruiting and training officers
and crews for American merchant
vessels. When the shipping boarl
was created, he laid his plan before
II. Mr.. Howard is now director Of
the recruiting service of the United
States shipping board, and he has
established between 40 and so train

10 months these schools have fitted

thousands of young men who will act
as sailors, firemen, coal passers. oil

In addition to these schools for
officers the recruiting service has
opened eight schools for engineers
at eight Of the pricipal technical
schools of the country. Here men
with experience as oilers or water

eers on lake, bay or sound steamers:

AVIATORS
N> SPLENDID SPORTSMEN

A committe on public information
representative in London says:
There are no better sportsmen in
the world than the allied airmen,
and American aviators now flying in
Europe always play fair game, as
they learn it from the allies. E. p.
Magoun, a former Harvard student,
now a member of the royal air force,
recently wounded, tells how the lives
of German observers escaping from
balloons have been spared
I'VE caught three Hun balloons
above the allied grounds in a mist
which prevented their gunners see
ing u.s." said he. 1T was cinch.
You should have seen them hustle
out their parachutes and abandon the
balloons As they came falling down
through the air we circled about.
closely but, of course, didn't open fire
as that's against the rules of the
game. As soon as they touched the
ground they took cover like rabbits "
Magoun is the only American IN
his squadron, having Joined in Feb
ruary of last year. He has baggel
five German planes. While carrying
bombs for low attack in the recent
offensive he receiyed a bullet through
his left arm, but managed to retire
to his own lines. Magoun tell of a
companion in his squadron who had
one of the luckiest escapes during
the war. He was put out of action
1000 feet in the air when a bullet
perforated his gasoline tank. He was
rendered unconscious by the fumes
and his machine took nose dive
to earth, but he escaped without a
scratch
A section of the royal air force
operating in the Ypres salient has
lost its only American member, who
had been with the squadron only 10
days when he went on a bombing
raid at low elevation. He was hit
by machine gun bullet and his
plane fell in flames. He was taken
prisoner.
The efforts of newspapers to pro-
mote good feeling between the peo-
Pile of England and the thousands of
Americans received official backing
when Sir Randolf Baker, member of
parliament, offered to take charge OF
the American troops welfare depart
ment of the British government. His
plans contemplate a continuous pro-
gram of healthful recreation in every
American rest camp and training
camp in England.
Special London theatrical compan.
les will be sent out. An organization
known as "sammy's Blighty league
is being formed.

KEEPING BUSINESS NORMAL"

We are asked by our government
as a vital prerequisite to the man.
moth undertaking in which we are
engaged. that we do our utmost TO
keep business normal. The request
is a broad one and comprehends. the
whole scope of human character IN
the concrete as well as the abstract;
individually as we'll as collectively.
II is incumbent that we use en-
ergy and industry. This, though
the exigencies of the times insure

dustry.
But there are other equally as 1m-
nortant human characteristics that
must be considered, and among these
we must give first place to unset
fishness as opposed to self interest
We must learn to think in the mass
rather than as individuals. We must
learn to shape our actions in the ligh'
of the public veal, rather than IN
that of the individual. The tempta-
tion 10 great for spirit OF selfish
ness and greed to dominate our lives
The opportunity was never greater
for men in all lines OF ondeayor to
make killings" and feather their
nests" but we must bear in mind
that this will always be done at the
expense of the industrial health OF

we get out Of the present commercial
conditions will be true gauge OF
our character. The man who emerges
with unduly swollen bank balance
may know in his heart of hearts that
his country has been second in his
thoughts and actions. 1t is the man
whose entire thought and actions
have been devoted to sustaining the
commercial life and strength of his
country, who will have the satisfy

acreage was disposed of at rather
high prices. In 1917 many people
stimulated by the high prices pro-
cured for the preceding years crop,
spent considerable sums of money to
buy high-priced seed and grow pota-

low price and difficulty in market

many sections indicate that the plant
ing will be small. There is still time
to plant some of the seed potatoes
that are left and make the planting
cheaply because seed can be easily
secured. The o. A. C. recommends
liberal paintings for 1918. They may
be planted up to July l, and even
later if the June rainfall is good. Po-
tatoes on lower Columbia overflow
lands have been successful even when

after its long decline, mounts once
more to the first place among the
