partment through the sale of War
Savings and Thrift Stamps up to
February 26th have equalled $40.
900, 900.
The receipts for the month Of
February are approximately $40. 81.
00O, 900, as against S57 900 600 re
Ceived through the War Savings
campaign in England for the same
period, despite the fact that the
campaign has been running there
for over two years.
Receipts are coming in to the
treasury department at the rate OF
about s. 900 900 a day. II other
words, the receipts in this country
for three months are already run
ming at the same rate which Eng
land has reached after two years.
If the War Savings campaign at
tains the goal set. it will cover the
entire cost of the government S ship
building program for the year
Already the government is re
ceiving from the buyers of War
Savings Stamps daily, enough mon.
ey to build more than 10000 tons
of ships. 1t has received TO date,
funds for the building of 100000
tons or 81 ships of 5000 tons each
What the government wants from
the War Savings campaign IS reg
ular weekly income. In order to be
assured of this. it asks the people
of the country to form themselves
into War Savings Societies.
A War Savings Society is a group
of people who pledge themselves to
systematic saving based on ar
agreement which each member
makes with himself and with the
government to save up to the limit
of his ability and to invest regular
Iy in Var Savings Stamps. These
societies may be formed wherever
number Of people meet for any spe
Gifted organizations, and the like.
The only steps necessary to form
a War Savings Society are the sign
ing by each member of the pledge
card furnished by the War Savings
Committee and the election OF a
president and secretary. The So
ciety may meet periodically for the
discussion of War Savings and kin
dred topics. or if this is not feas-
ible, the secretary may assume the
duty of seeing that each member is
supplied regularly with the number
of stamps he has agreed TO buy.

of them are with the expeditionary
forces in France, others are on the
hattleships and some in training at the
cantonments, with the expectation of
leaving for Europe at any time.
Among the first men to enter the
fighting zone were the railroad engin.

some time. Other enlistments have
been made since the list was prepared,

FRANK COMMENT
ON SIMON BENSON
From Oregon Voter

No one has had any inkling az to
whom Governor Withycomhe will APP
point state highway commissioner to
succeed f. j. Adams. whose term eX-
plres in week or two. Ordinarily
Mr.. Adams would be reappointed on
his record, but he has incurred the
condemnation of old Simon Benson,
who has threatened to resign if Mr..
Adams is permitted to remain on the
commission. Mr.. Benson is convinced
that Mr.. Adams has been playing pol
ltlcs III road matters and with that he
has no patience. He is shrewd old
codger, is Benson, and undoubtedly he
has what he believes are perfectly good
grounds for his suspicious. He stands
first and foremost for fair deal with
all the cards on the table and if he
finds Adams not to his taste there is
only one thing for the governor to do,
and that is TO drop Adams. For Ben
son at the helm is IA guarantee to the
citizens of the state that the highway
commission will be administered along
square, sound lines. The old gentle
man with his obstinate firmness and
honesty is worth a whole flock Of
smarter men, and when you get right
down to it, there are few men any
smarter than he is at that His eye
teeth We're cut long time ago. He is
absolutely unselhsh and should be pro-
vided with associates who can win and
hold his confidence. He and Commits
sioner W. L. Thompson, Of Pendleton,
the third member of the Board, do not
always agree, but Benson has entire
confidence in Thompson S integrity, So
they get along splendidly together. 1t
is to be hoped the governor will not let
Benson get away, for he is the most
valuable man in Oregon to the good
roads cause.

Use OF MORE PO-
TAT0ES is URGED
Let's use more potatoes Whv?

I Let's use more potatoes Why?
Because they are plentiful. Because
they aTe cheap. Because they save
wheat flour. They are home grown
and save shipping. And because they
are a splendid food.
One medium sized potato gives you
as much starch as two slices Of bread
When you have potatoes for a meal
you need less bread, thus potatoes save
wheat.
Potatoes are a fine fuel for the body
The starch in them burns in the mus
cles to let you work. much as gasoline
burns IN an automobile 10 make the
ear 90. Besides starch, they contain
minerals which build and renew ali
parts of the body and keep 1t in order
Most of the mineral lies right under
the skin Of the potato and much of it
is wasted when the potatoes are peeled.
So cook potatoes with the jackets, thus
saving both on quantity and mineral
matter.
Here are zone potato recipes:
Potato Cornmeal Mullins 2 I fat, ]
I sugar. egg we'll beaten, cup milk,
cup mashed potatoes, cup cornmeal,
teaspoons baking powder. teaspoon
salt.

Potatoes are good in cake and save
wheat flour You can use your usual
cake recipes, substituting Zone cup OF
mashed potatoes for one half cup OF
milk and one half cup of flour Mash
the potatoes and beat them up with
the milk until very light, then make
your cake in the usual way.
For best mashed potatoes Peel the
boiled potatoes, mash and beat until
very light, adding salt, butter or oleo.
margarine and hot milk, a half cup OF
milk, to six potatoes. If dinner is not
ready to serve. :pile lightly in a par
and set in the oven to brown. A little
soda mixed with the potatoes before
they are put in the oven helps to make
them light, or the beaten white of an
egg, when eggs become more plentiful.

War Pies

The housewife has been asked to
conserve fats, especially animal fats.
Does that mean that we have to give
up entirely the much beloved American
dish, pie? Not necessarily. OF course,
we will use less pastry than before,
but here are some recipes that will
help us out. BY using these we can
he patriotic and still have pie occasion
ally:
Cornmeal crust for pumpkin pie.
Grease a PIE plate well, any of the
vegetable ellis are as good as the lalds.
Rotate the plate so you know all parts
are well covered with the oil. Take
your cornmeal sack and pour the raw
cornmeal right into the creased pie
tin. Rotate the plate again so that
the meal may be evenly spread about
l-l6th Of an inch in thickness. Fill
The plate with pumpkin pie mixture.
Bake in a hv oven.
Isn't that pie crust time saver as
we'll as a wheat and fat saver? Best
of all there are no dishes to wash after
it is made.
War Pie Crust Corn or cotton seed
oiD This is delicious pie crust for
any Kind Of pie. l-3 cup barley flour,
/ T oil, / T sugar, l beaten whole egg,
! t water. Mix dry materials, mix
wet materials. Combine the wet and
dry materials as if mixing baking
powder dough. Roll out, line a pie tin
and proceed as usual. This makes ex-
cellent single and double crusted pies.
The filings in each case should be add.
ed before baking.
Oatmeal Crust 2 cups finely ground
oat meal, ! cup boiling water, tea
spoon salt. Scald the oatmeal with
the water, add the fat and mix thor
oughly. Roll Very thin and line pie or
tart tins with the mixture. Bake in a

26 PAIR OF SOCKS

Dan P Smith. 59-year old West Side
orchardist, is the only male of the
species engaged in knitting for the
Hood River Red Cross, but the volume
and quality of his output equals that
of about six ordinary knitters. it is
said.
Since he began last fall to employ
his evenings and spare moments in
knitting for the Red Cross, Mr. Smith
has made 25 pairs of regulation socks.
He will complete his 26th pair this
week. Spring orchard work is now be-
coming more exacting and Mr.. Smith
is unable to proceed as rapidly as dur
ing the more leisurely winter months.
Before he began knitting for the
Red Cross Mr. Smith had made six
pair of socks for his personal use.
