Unless there Is n greater consumption

suit. according to the food administra-

LOCAL PATRIOTIC LEAGUE.

AS a member of the local Patriotic
League, I pledge myself
To support the letter and spirit of the
constitution and laws of the United
States. to give individual allegiance
and support to the government in the
prosecution of the war. and to assist in
every possible manner the various war
organizations recognized by the gov
ernment-the national. state and coun-
ty councils of defense. the food and fuel
administrations. the labor registration,
the Liberty Bond and Thrift Stamps
campaigns, the Red Cross.
To aid In suppressing all dsloyal acts
and words, all false and malicious ru-
mors. and all opposition to the mea-
sures recommended by the government
through it's various war agencies.
To denounce, and report to the local
executive committee, all persons who
do not abide by the rules of the recog-
nized war organizations, or who refuse
to render their proper moral and finar-
cial support to the governments war

Almost any citizen will profess to

1t is said that the German riots broke
out because the kaiser started to close
up some of the breweries. Foodless
meals. profitless victories and hopeless
fighting for a kaiser's pleasure were
bad, but beerless days are unbearable.
In fact they are unbeerable.

Editors A. M. Doty and J. c. Harrgan
of Colville have been named by the fed
eral reserve bank and the state bankers
association as members of the state
publicity committee OF the third LIB
erty loan. This Is a kindly method CT
urging the editors to continued effort
in freely advertising the loan, but no
free sample copies Of the bonds have
yet been received as an evidence that
the bonds will be as pretty as the first
two kinds. Hence, when newspaper
readers are urged to hurry in the pur-
chase of the bonds, they should remem-
ber that the editors are continuing the
urging at their own expense, and that
no state committee is putting up for
them. IL every individual would freely
give as much of his time and wares to
the good cause. the sale of Liberty
bonds would be not a matter Of cam
paign, but an immediate accomplish.

The United States food administra
tion does not intend to place any re-
strictions on the use of such food ma
terials as milk, potatoes and eggs, fish,
fruits and vegetables, which are classed
as perishable products. Since we must
save wheat. meat fats. and sugar, for
expectation to our soldiers and associ-
ates in this war. we should use more
of the perishable products. Wholesal-
ers, commission men and the larger re-
tailers who handle these perishable
products must operate 0nder license Of
the food administration and file reports
covering their transactions so that
these foods may reach the consumer IN
the least possible time, with the least
cost and with as little waste as pos
sible; as a result boarding by dealers
can be prevented and speculating elm
mated.
People are prone to take lightly the
requests Of the food administration TO
raise more food, use every acre of
ground, and preserve and can all the
fruits and vegetables possible. They
feel that what little one person or fam
ming the war Yet consider this:
1t Is estimated that there were 3.000,-
900 war gardens last year. covering an
aggregate Of 1,150,O00 acres of city and
town land The value Of their yield Is
estimated at $3.50, 1000, O00 or $3.50 per
family. The glass jar manufacturers
sold about 119.0O0.0O0 jars. and figuring
on this basis the housewives of the
country put up 50O,0OO,0O quart Jars of
vegetables and fruits, about three times
as much as was ever packed before.
II every family leaves 1t for some one
else to do, the nation will find its food
cost increasing, and it's store Of foods
lessening. If every individual will do
more than his part. the reverse will be
true.
In reply to inquiries In regard to the
possibility Of redistilling seized spirits
for alchohol the war department has
announced that the small amount of
alcohol recovered. the cost of transpor-
tation, recooperage, and rehabilitation
would make the cost to the government
greater than 1t is now paying. The av-
erage yield from confscated liquor
would not exceed 5 per cent Of alcohol
