CAN REDUCE COST BY
WORKING AND SAVING
Now lrnperatively Necessary II Ma.
,tion Is to be Steered From Shoals
Of Hardship.

Perhaps at no other time in this
nations history is the appeal Work
and Save so necessary as at present.
Manufacturers, financiers, economists
and many others, including the conser-
vative labor leaders, realize that un-
less we work and work hard, and save
and save bard, we are headed for a
period of unprecedented hardship.
This is not the mere mouthing Of
a lingo or professional pessimist. 1t
is a fact, and is supported by innu-
merable signs everywhere. Every
hour wasted and every dollar spent
needlessly is like a dagger thrust at
the heart of this country. Enough OF
these dagger thrusts will finally
reach the heart itself.
1.-THE fact that we are extraordinar-
lily rich furnishes no immunity from
ultimate disaster II we waste these
riches The thing to do is for each
and every one Of us to pull in the
same direction, towards national
economy. Without it we are lost.
With it we can assure our national
future. odd Lot Review.

Tremendous Food Waste

The National Association Of Waste
Material Dealers estimates that Amer
leans throw away $700,000,000 worth
of food each year. If only one ounce
of food is wasted or spoiled in each
of the 100000 homes of America,
the total loss is 100000 pounds a
day. AS much coal is wasted an.
nually as all the mines of the coun-
try could produce in two weeks.
Thrift and saving are needed not
only in materials but in labor and
money. Each added individual effort
will tend toward the increase of pro
duction and consequent fall in price
of necessities, but physical idleness
is no less an obstacle to the reduction
Of living costs than financial idleness
There are millions Of dollars idle in
the United States through lack oil
proper investment which should be
working for the common good. These
sums If put to work would constitute
the new capital so urgently needed tc
tide over the period of reconstruction

After the ceremony, a supper
of turkey, chicken salad, and the

genuine Southern wedding sup

Cramped Quarters at 0. A. c.

Miss Ruth Stewart, writing at o.
A. c., in commenting upon the great
need for voters to support the mill
age tax measure, among other inter-
esing facts, gives the following:
"The seventy-five umatilla county
students at o. A. C. are victims of
the crowded conditions prevailing
here on account of inadequate accom-
modations for the increased student
enrolment.
"The boys have hard work keep
ing their heads under roof. There is
only one dormitory for them. OF
course the frats take care of many,
but the rest must shift for them
selves, and when there is no place for
them to Shift to they leave school.
Homes have been opened to the stu
dents, among them. that of Prof.
Horner.
"Mr Horner drove cattle over the
hills about Athena and Weston when
young man.and now he recounts
many interesting storias about that
country, pertaining to the early days.
"Of the five from Athena, three of
us, Hazel Sanders, Kathren Froome
and myself know that they conserve
heat, for every night the heat is turn
ed off at 500. Here the nights are
cold and we are compelled to sit in
our cold rooms and study until 10 or
1880. The heat does not come on
until $50 in the morning. But this
is only one evidence of curtaiment
in expense of operation due to insult
ficient funds to operate the state ed
ucational institutions. So boost for
the millage tax measure and help
us out"
