Here and There

County Chairman i B. Riddle has
received notice from state headquar-
ters that the total investments in war
savings stamps from Douglas county
up to March were $91, 1926.
During the last few days Of the
period sales were approximately ST.
600 daily. From these figures it will
be seen that Douglas county will
have to whip up if she is going to
take the quota of $4,000 which
has been assigned as her portion.
The sale of these securities started
last December, and with the pace at
$1,000 per day, at the end of the year
the county total would fall consider
ably short of the quota.-Roseburg

WOMEN IN CANTEENS
OF THE Y. NJ. c. A.

Have you a boy or husband
"over there? Then pray that Amer
ican women who have gone over to
work with the canteens of the Y. NJ.
c. A. may be given strength and
courage to do their duty in a manner
befitting the high standards of our
American womanhood. The canteens
OF the Red Triangle follow the SOL
diers as near the firning line as posi-
ble-even to the point where the cof-
fee pots are sometimes punctured by
bursting shells. A few American
women who have been sent to France
by the Y. NJ. c. A. help in these can
teens. Their work is always hard,
the quarters in which they work are
often uncomfortable, Such trying
tasks as breaking the news of his
mothers death to soldier boy are
turned over to these women. Other

them.
The woman canteen worker must
not be too young to possess discretion
nor too old to have lost the sparkle
of spontaneity, and she must be
enough of mother at heart to grasp
the individual needs of the individual
lad, to stimulate his ideals, to give
him the sympathy and comradeship
that will send him back to his home
as good a boy as he left it.
Says a canteen worker: Women
have their share in war work. Did
the mother of six stair-step little tow
heads we saw among the refugees at
the Care du Nord have an easier job
than her husband in the trenches?

10000 VOICES.
And Many Are the Voices Of Ashland
People.

Fifty thousand voices-what
grand chorus! And that's the num-
ber of American men and women who
are publicly praising Doan's Kidney
Pills for relief from backache, kid
ney and bladder ills. They say it to
friends. They tell 1t in the home
papers. Ashland people are in this
chorus.
Here's an Ashland case:
]. R. Maxedon, newspaper agent,
977 B street, says: II couldn't say
too much in praise of Doan's Kidney
Pills, for have never found any
thing that has done me so much
good when l have needed kidney
medicine. l use Doan's Kidney Pills
whenever l have backache or l no
tice my kidneys are not acting prop
erly, and it takes only one box to fix
me up in fine shape"

were 4,491 flasks for the first nine
months of 1917, against 5,659 flasks
for all of 1916.
Most of the output continues to
come from properties that were pro-
ducing before the war, but part Of it
comes from old surface material, for
new development work and furnace
construction require time and money,
and quicksilver deposits, unlike the
larger deposits of more common met
ais, are not readily measurable in
quantitative way. Uncertainty as to
war demands and postwar markets
and prices have prevented extensive
financing of an industry in which
there had been little profit for
decades before the war. Some i'm
provement in the treatment of low
grade ores is indicated at the larger
properties, and it is from low-grade
ores that the supply of the future
must chiefly come.

RATIONS MEAGER IN
ENEMY COUNTRIES

Germany, to judge by the accounts
of her newspapers, is country with
a magnificent system of food distri-
button, but sad shortage of things
10 distribute. The German press is
full of complaints that people are not
getting even the meager rations their
innumerable food cards call for. The
way some of them feel about it is
well expressed by soldier, who con-
tributes the following recipe for a
meal to Gastwirtsgehilfe;
Take the butter card, cook with 1t
the beef card and beat up with the
egg card. The potato and vegetable
cards are to be cooked separately and
then added. For desert, the potato
card is heated up and the milk card
added; the dish is seasoned with the
sugar card, and then the bread and
roll cards are baked in, The hands
are afterward washed with the soap
card and dried with the towel-order
form"
The card system of rationing, in a
word, despite its elaboration, is not
an altogether successful method of
feeding the people. Hence the meth
cd of mass feeding is coming more
and more to be relied upon. Former
ly the public kitchens were patron
lied only by the poor; now the mid
die classes are also depending upon
them. While this system of mass
feeding-probably the highest devel-
opment of communism which the
world has seen on large scale-has
reached its greatest development in
Germany and Austria, the public
kitchens have become important in
stitutions in Italy and Russia as well
In Germany these public kitchens
have been established in all of the
larger towns and appear to be munic-
ipal institutions which are encour-
aged and regulated by the govern
ment. 1t seems that the people may
either eat the food at the public
kitchens or take it home. The great
saving is in fuel and in the elimina-
tion of waste. Large quantities may
be cooked much more cheaply than
small ones.
The government recently warned
the various public kitchens to in
crease their capacity to the utmost,
while more and more people are
bound to become dependent upon

Or the trotured old woman in an
asylum at Amiens, blinded by gas
bombs dropped by the enemy
throughout the city? Is the woman's
never-ending drag of hardships light
er to bear than a month, year or
even five years in the trenches? And
yet some men say, You women don't
know what war really means, be-
cause you are protected from its hor-
rors.
Good health, social sense and spir-
itual insight-all three are necessary
to the woman who would do her
share in wartime, especially in the
"Y" canteens. A mud-bespattered
group of lads comes in from the front
lines, cold, hungry and aching for a
bath. Hot water is provided for
them, and when they are washed
up" a good meal with plenty of hot
soup is enjoyed. In tne villages near
the front these canteens are quar-
tered in buildings where the boys
may enjoy the luxury of table to
sit at while they dine. There, too,
they may purchase little dainties
such as chocolate and other sweets.
Is there rip to be sewed in lads
uniform, a minor wound to be tend
ed, a letter to be written home to
mother or words of encouragement
needed? The canteen worker will
give attention for she must know
many things beside how to feed the.
boys-she must know how to mother
them as well

them as result of the growing
scarcity of coal and gas. 1t is also
stated that the middle class now pa
tronizes the public kitchens as much
as the working class The govern
ment seems to be greatly pleased
with the savings effected by these
institutions.
The public does not seem to be
quite so delighted. Thus Vorwaerts
publishes bitter complaint, relating
the case of one woman with several
young children who received at the
public kitchen only half of the
amount of potatoes for which her
food card called, and who charged
that the fish and meat dishes con-
tanned little or none of the fish and
meat. The socialists also recently
registered in Vorwaerts a protest
against the raising of prices at the
public kitchens by 25 per cent. They
asserted that the people were getting
little enough for their money. New
ertheless, the prices were raised.
A list of the meals served at a
public kitchen in Passau is published
in Berlin paper to show how much
better the south of Germany is far
ing than the north. The cost of these
meals was ~ u cents for those in
Guiding meat, and about II cents for
those without meat. A typical meat
less meal consisted of potato soup,
flat macaroni and jam. A typical
meal with meat consisted of cabbage
soup, veal and potatoes. No mention
is made of bread or butter, and the
only sweet thing appearing is jam,
and that only once week or there
abouts. The Berlin paper, comment
ing upon this sumptuous fare, says
that the people of that city would
gladly pay double the price for it.
complete account of the public
kitchens in Vienna is published in
one of the newspapers. There are
$50 such kitchens in the city. Fifty
of these were established with the
aid of the municipality, while the rest
are private, including % cooperative
kitchens, 26 attached to institutions,
46 for industrial purposes, four for
profit and two for invalids. The
largest number of customers attached
to single institution is $500, and
the smallest number is so.
In Hungary the public kitchens
seem to be pseudo-charitable institu-
tions. There is a national war kitch-
ems committee, of which the Arch
duchess Isabella is the head. This
committee has started two kitchens
in Budapest, one Of which is known
as the bourgeoise kitchen, and has
for its purpose to feed needy mem
bers of the middle class at cost. 1t
serves a meal of soup, vegetables and
| farinaceous food. The other kitchen
ia designed for people of the INDECENT
classes and serves for a nominal sum
meal of soup and vegetables,
1t seems that everyone in Europe
can get soup, most can get vegetables,
the middle class can get also rice and
| potatoes, while only the affluent
know the joys of meat and butter.
How hunger pinches in Austria
and how precious food has become
is vividly suggested by an account of
the struggles of the officials with
what is known as the exit bag trade"
This is comparable to the suitcase
trade in liquor in dry" parts of the
United States. The people go out
into the country and buy potatoes,
meats and other controlled foods in
small quantities, and try to take
them home in all sorts of hand bag

preparation from the Agricultural
College funds is being felt by the
fruit interests all over the state.
Especially has the prune industry
suffered, as extensive experiments
for the control of brown rot and
prune borer, which were well under
way, were necessarily stopped for
lack of funds. The annual loss from
brown rot alone has been estimated
at $250,000 in Oregon and the dam
age from the prune borer is consid-
cradle, as every orchard in the Will
lamette and Umpqua valleys is at

only proved remedy is still the old

Loyalty Is The Issue in

St. Paul, Minn., June 15.-A general primary election will be held in Min nesota Monday for the nomination of candidates for the offices to ve voted for next November, including one Uni ted States senator, ten representatives in Congress, complete State ticket, and many county and local officers. The primaries will furnish the in spring spectacle of the two great political partis standing hand in hand behind Ia stalwart and patriotic figure the venerable Knute Nelson, who will be renominated for another term in the United States senate, where he is now completing his fourth term. Oth- CT names will be on the ballot for United States senator, but their stren- gth is regarded as negligible. and the renomination and reelection of Sena- tor Nelson are accepted as foregone conclusion.
 Interest in the primaries is confined largely to the contests for the heads of the two State tickets The loyalty issued has been injected into the con- tests for the Republican gubernator, ial nomination and for other places on the Republican State ticket. For many of these places the new National par ty, which is an outgrowth of the Non Partisan league movement, and the loyalty of whose following has been seriously questioned, has placed can didates in the field and is seeking their nomination on the Republican l ticket. To defeat their plahs it is ex- pected that many Democrats will aid in the nomination of the regular Re-

His opponent Charles A. Lindbergh' of Little Falls, who represented the Sixth district in Congress for several terms.
 A spirited factional fight features the contest for the head of the Demo cratic State ticket. The opposing can didates for the gubernatorial nomlna' tion are Fred E. Wheaton of M1nnea- polls and Judge Willard l.. Comstock, of Mankato. Wheaton has an appar- ent advantage in having been indorsed by the unofficial State convent1on' while Comstock filed on his own mo- ton.

BEAST OF BERLIN
 TO BE AT ORPPHEO

The Rotary club yesterday arranged to lease the Orpheo theatre on Mon day and Tuesday, June "A and 70, for the exhibition in Pine Bluff Of "fhe Beast of Berlin" the film play which pictures the kaiser in his true light, and which depicts the outrages he and his forces have committee.
 Tn other cities an admission of from 50 sents to $1 has been charged, but as the Rotary club desires that all in this secaion see this picture, the ad' mission here will be only % cents. Whatever money remains after pay ing the expenses, will be used for CIVIC and war work. ..
 The story of "The Beast Of Berlin is historically accurate, beginning with the story of the kaiser's life, showing the outrages of Belgium, the sinking of the Lusitania, and other events that aroused the world and provoked America to war.
 The photoplay delivers a powerful patriotic message and gives the pulp lie an inside" story of the life of the man who, by his despotic and 'barbar ous ideas, has set the entire world aflams. The photoplay gives us a more forceful, play gives us Ia more forceful, clearer understanding of why the United States has entered the war-to stamp out kaiserism. It shows how the kaiser planned the sinking> of the Lusitania and award ed a special medal to the captain pf the U4boat that launched the fatal tor pedo. It also shows how the visions of drowning women and children haunted Captain Won Neigel who re- ceived the kaiser's honors and finally drove him to insanity.
