This bulletin contains general lntOrma
tion concerning road conditions in OF
near the National Forests Of Oregon
and Washington, based on data furn-
ished by the field men Of the Forest Re-
serve.
A dangerous forest-fire season is at
hand. All forest travellers, autoists,
campers, fishermen, hunters, and Others
are warned to be careful with fire in the
open. The present extremely dry con
dition Of the woods, due to drought and
drying winds, makes them especially
susceptible to fire, and unusual care is
necessary to prevent destructive con-
flagrations. The cooperation of every
one using the forests is needed to keep
them green and attractive. By build
ing small camp fires in safe places and
completely extinguishing them before
leaving ,one of the chief Gauss of forest
fires may be removed. Smokers should
be cautious with burning tobacco and
matches. No patriotic tourist will pur-
posely start a fire and endanger the
timber and forage Of the forests. Aside
from the commercial value Of the woods
which can be figured in dollars and
cents, there is their value from re-
creational and aesthetic standpoint
point which can only be estimated. Help
keep the forests valuable by preventing
forest fires

PREVENTING STIFFNESS IN
STORED ENGINE.

G. *. M. asks: In connection with
storing a car for the winter in an
unheated garage. is it necessary to
run the engine for about ten minutes
each week. in order to keep it from
getting stiff?
Answer: We think not. 1t would
be just about as well and much less
bother to crank it over by hand,
few turns, every once in while.
Some people, when laying up car,
give the cylinders a special supply
of cold proof oil, in order to insure
that all internal engine parts are
coated with lubricant, This is usual
ly done by starting the engine at
fair rate of speed, then shutting off
the gasoline supply at the tank and,
while the engine is running upon
the fuel in the float chamber, squirt
ing oil into the carburetor air-intake
until the engine stops. An excess of
oil is thus carried i's with the fuel
mixture and forms a film over the
Internal parts, tending to preventing
sticking of the pistons and other
bearing surfaces.

As AN ANTI-TREEzE
LIQUID,

f. ID. II. asks: Is it feasible to
use kerosene as an anti-freeze liquid
in the radiator instead of alcohol So
luton?
Answer: This can be and is done
by some motorists, although it is
more usual to employ a mixture OF
Kerosene and some heavier oil. 1t is
more advisable, however to use a
less volatile oil than kerosene, one
which does not give off combustible
vapors at SO low a temperature.
There are special cooling oils on the
market possessing more nearly the
required characteristics, such oils
being used for cooling electrical
transformers and for similar pur-
poses. Already, oils of this general
description are on the market as
automobile anti-freeze mixtures, un.
der various trade names but, il You
can obtain suitable oil directly
from an oil dealer you can save
some money.

The aggregate wealth of this nation

IT has been computed that OF TINS

when we consider the vastness OF
these funds available for investment
We realize the ease with which our
zovernment loans should be sub
scribed. Furthermore the Industrial
enterprises and the investment cnan-
neis. into which this money would or
dinarily go for the purpose of business
EXPANSION will no longer compete with
the government for these funds once
the war finance legislation has been
enacted Already the output OF new
securities offered to the public has
been greatly reduced as a result of the
oDerations of the capital issues COM
mfttee. so that the resources in money
Awaiting investment and available to
the government will be even greater
than ever.
The citizenry of the country is asked
10 assist the governments prosecution
ofithe war by placing these savings in
liberty bonds. There is nothing dras-
tic in this request. Were we to with
hold this support it would be nothia~
short of treason to our country and
to THE men who are giving their lives
at.the front This is every mans war
and the resources. whether physical or
financial, of every man must be en-
pIoyed to their fullest extent to

The savings which every loyal citi-
zen is asked to place in our war loans
are not to be regarded as contribu-
tions to charity. The government is
offering It's people the most gilt-edge
and readily negotiable investment in
the world and is paying a return fully
commensurate with the security be-
hind it.
in the appeal for subscriptions to
the war loan, II must De remembered
that the people are not distinct from
their government. that the govern
ment is a corporate entity represen-
tative of its citizenship, and that the
money loaned land not given away
to'the government is to be used for +he
projection of the very citizens who
buy the bonds. and that in the last
analysis they are lending money tc
themselves. for their own protection
and on a security which stands high
est in the world.

The Soldiers Confidence.

The second incident included in this
lesson is laid back in Capernaum, the
home city of Jesus, and, for those who
are fond of pursuing types, it may rep
resent Christian work for foreigners In
ones native land. This time it was not
suppliant alien woman who ap-
preached Jesus, but a proud Roman
commander, solicitous for servant
stricken with the palsy.
This man warns our heart. He is
of the time to whom 'noblesse oblige'
was vital principle. He humbled
himself for his servants sake: the
welfare of his dependents was a fun
damental concern of his life. If all
employers were like this Roman CEN
write about an industrial problem.
The sudden delight of discovering
noble qualities where they were not
expected was given to Jesus. His own
royal heart must have ieaped as He
saw this proud Roman bending a
knee in behalf of a slave. As ch1Valry
instantly responds to chivalry, and as
gentility commands gentility, so Jesus
instantly responded, Il will come and
heal him"

of the centurion. He knew what be-

SWARM ON ITALY.
Move AuStrO- GermanS From
Rumania to Italian Front.
Expect Main Drive Against
North Mountain Front.

Washington. April 5.-Transfer of
all the AuStro- G erman forces former
ly in Rumania under General Won
Mackensen in the Italian front is re-
ported in official dispatches from
Rome. 1t is declared that a drive
impends in Italy and that the enemy
evidently is only awaiting favorable
weather conditions.
Italian military critics are of the
opinion that the Austro- German drive
will be against the mountain line.
Aviators report that large bodies have
been transferred from the Piave line
to the mountain zone by the Austrians.
1t is reported that recently the Aus
trians have undertaken the construc-
ton of new Notifications along the
Livenza and the Tagliamento rivers,
adopting a new system consisting OF
points of support with several bridge
heads. Italian prisoners and the civ
ilian population of invaded Italian
provinces have been compelled to
work on these Qualifications.
The military critics in Italy believe
that another reason for the delay in
the Austrian drive is that the Aus
TRANS are loath to begin until the is
sue of the German offensive in France
is certain.

SHUT Up OR GET OUT.

The editor OF the Atchison Globe,
under the caption, THE Handwriting
on the Wall" pens some pertinent and
timely utterances concerning the per-
nieious activity of so-called German
American citizens. The Globe editor
ial follows:
What is ii about the Americans of
German descent that causes them to
pull SO many boneheads? Why do
they do things to inflame public
opinion?
There is handwriting on the wall
and it is standing out in bold lettering.
The St Joseph political bonehead
is typical of form of German
stupidity.
Certain Germans up there opposed
to a certain candidate sent out
pamphlets attacking his candidacy
These pamphlets were printed in Ger
man; the kick-back has been terrific
In Atchison there is a man of Ger
man descent who is in actual dan
ger. Members of his family ought to
make application for his internment
at Fort Leavenworth to keep him out
of harms way He won't keep his
mouth shut: he's certainly storing uI
a lot of trouble.
He is most outspoken in his ad-
miration for the kaiser and linden
burg; he never loses an opportunity
10 declare America mas no business II
this war. A tar and feather party
was organized for his special benefit
the other night, but some older and
calmer men heard of the affair
and talked the young men out of it
There is no prejudice against Amer
leans of German descent. All asked
of them is they be Americans, Of
leave. If they prefer Germany, tn,
German language and German Gus
toms, they should get out. If the,
want to become Americans, to do a
other Americans do and to speak ant
write the American language. they ar
welcome.
Either be an American or Ger
man
That's what it has come to an,
feeling is going to be extremely bite
when the long casualty lists begin t.
roll in. Just wait until lot of At
Gibson boys have been killed.
The German-American is dead an,
buried. A man is either an American
or a German and the American PEG
Pile don't like Germans They hav
gotten over that fo0lishness that the.
are fighting just the kaiser ard no
the German people.

Some confusion exists regarding the
convertibility of the bonds of the first
two liberty loans. 1t seems not to be
generally understood that the u per
cent bonds of the first loan are con-
yertibIe into any subsequent govern
ment loan issued at Z higher rate,
while the per cent bonds of the sec
ond loan including the 3 Y per cent
bonds which have been converted into
the so-called conversion foJrs'' are
only convertible into the third. liberty
loan bonds, and this conversion must
take place within six months, after
which the conversion privilege ceases.
Therefore. it is pointed out. the hold
ers of the present 4 per cent bonds
should convert their bonds into the
new issue if they desire to obtain the
extra u per cent interest. Since there
will not be enough of these to go
around probably those VINO come first
will be first served.

AWAY WITH A SMILE
This Is Private Peat's Advice to

Send your boys away with a smile
for it is the last impression they will
have of the homeland thru long days
and strenuous nights in the trenches"

Private Peat gives the mothers, wives
and daughters of soldiers in America

Canadian contingent to go overseas at
the beginning of the world war, is to
be in Topeka April IL at the Auditor
ium with an address on the war An
admission fee will be charged for the
lecture which is put on under the
auspices of the Military committee of
the Chamber of Commerce. But the
meeting is not one from which the
funds will go to enrich a profiteer. On
the other hand the profits will go to
enlarge Topeka's subscription to the
1918 Red Cross war fund.
According to many people who have
heard him. Private Peat has a story
to tell which touches the depths of
human emotion. 1t is said of Private
Peat that he tells the most vivid story
OF the war, the feelings of the men
engaged in the war, and the depend
ence of the soldiers on the home folks
OF any of the war lecturers in the
country

merce appeared in the society column
of the State Journal last night. 1t is

ganization for this honor. We are
sorry that the Whites cannot be with
