PRODUCTION
OF AIRSHIPS
NOW SPEEDY
PORTLAND. Ore.. Oct. HO. In a
message to members of the Loyal Le
gion of Loggers and Lumbermen, pub
lished in the current issue of the le
gion's bulletin, Colonel Price 1’. Dlsque
who is commanding officer of the
spruce production division, tells the
workers some stirring truths as to
what has been accomplished through
their efforts, both here and in France.
The message follows:
"General Pershing has just reported
that American aviators destroyed over
one hundred German airplanes and
twenty-one balloons in the three days
ending October 1.
"The director of aircraft production
has just announced that Liberty mo
tors have now reached quantity pro
duction and American airplanes are
moving in trainload lots for service in
France.
“Your loyal, unselfish and deter
mined effort has supplied the spruce
and ilr to make these two announce
ments possible. You know now that
what you have been doing is begin
ning to show. Your part in lighting
this war must now be apparent to all
"It is just one year since we began
our drive for spruce and aircraft fir
in that year we have increased the
monthly production from one and one
half million feet to almost twenty mil
lion feet We have so improved tin
quality of the material shipped that
although constantly increasing theii
program, our allies have been able t(
modify their requirements.
••We have started something; wt
have set the pace and made possible
an allied air Heel that was never he
fere considered possible Factories ii
America. France. Knglund and Pah
are manned to capacity, building bet
ter airplanes Ilian Germany ever eu i
thought of; our Hying schools an
turning out thousands of aviators win
will use our machines in a inanm-i
that will be to your liking.
"it is now our great duty to main
tain mil increase the (low of spruci
and hr throughout the coming winter
It is a ldg job and will call for th<
j best that is in all of us because we |
| must not permit production to fall off i
during the coming months. What we |
dt* now will have a decisive effect in |
the (Inal drive which will start next j
spring.
"I confidently look to the one great I
industry which has gone through the
past year without labor disturbances I
or profiteering to grit its teeth and [
drive on with even greater co-opera
tion and determination than ever be- I
fore.
"To the officers and men of this j
| division i look for a continuation of i
i what has been an unsurpassed pa- 1
I triotic service. In which the reward ]
is not Croix du Guerre and medals of
honor, hut the applause of your own
conscience, because of a duty well
i done.

LONDON, Oct. 30—Mrs Hon say:
to her lord and master, "Another lit
tie drink wouldn't do me any harm.
It'll be no use for him to argue (hi
point. She is barked by authority.
The professor of agriculture at Fon
tainebleu has been making a discover;
about eggs.
He took a dozen hens and gave sit
of them a little wine each day am
kept the other six enforced teetotal
era. Stimulant triumphed over pro
hlbitlon, and the teetotallers wen
beaten to a frazzle! They laid onl;
twenty-seven eggs as compared witl
the wine-bibbers’ 180, and the latte
were much superior in quality.
It is a dangerous discovery to havi
made in these days of strikes, espe
daily with winter coming. Now tha
women are getting their rlglU* every
where (or 'most everywhere), it I
quite conceivable that all hens wil
go on strike and refuse to lay egg
unless they get their beer.
