Statement by Mr.. sweeton.


The Windham County Agricultural
association wishes to express its appre-
citation of the work Of the teachers and
school children in the tent caterpillar
campaign.
it is not possible to cxterminate the
tent caterpillar. but the destruction OF
half million egg masses in one county
means considerable. because each egg
mass destroyed means one less nest this
coming summer. 1t would require of
the fruit growers of the county some
time and expense to destroy half a mil
lion caterpillar nests by spraying or
tearing out or in any other way
The prize-winning schools and pupils
! are to be congratulated for their good
work There are many others, how
ever. who destroyed large numbers. Of
| egg masses who Will not receive prizes
| These deserve almost rs much credit
because. in many cases they worked
| hard when there were only small
chances of winning a prize.
The teachers deserve special credit
/ for their help. for in many eases it
meant much additional work when then
time was already occupied
The county association thanks every
one who has destroyed even one egg
mass or who has influenced someone else
to do so.
Yours truly,

Portland FinanCier
Explains Conditions

Here is some simplified financial
talk from A. l.. Mills, president of
the First National Bank of Portland
Mills was asked the exact cause of
the so-called financial stfingency He
was requested to explain it in man
ner which would be comprehensive
to the mind not versed in finance.
Here is what he said;
"Under ordinary circumstances,
money and the things that money
buys move much in the fashion OF
an endless chain. Take, for in
stance, the Oregon wheat crop. The
banks lend money on it before it is
ripe. If nothing happens, the crop
is harvested, transported to Portland
and shipped abroad. The shipper
draws a siXtyday draft on London
and tenders it in payment of the
money he has borrowed. The draft
is discounted, and, while the wheat
is still on its way to Europe, the
money for it is back in the UniteI
States. 1t all works like so much
machinery
Now comes the European war and
clogs up the machine. The endless
chain is stopped. A most important
link is broken. In a little while
shipping will recommence and the
chain will go on rafting around on
its journey. Until then it's just a
question of sitting tight and not wor-
rying"
Oregon banks have ample re-
sources, and have besides untouched
$11,OOO,000 of currency provided by
the Vreeland-Aldrich bill. Europe is
producing nothing, and the United
States is the storehouse on which it
must draw for foodstuffs as we'll as
money. When the arrangements are
made by which international busi-
ness may be resumed on a normal
basis it is probable that the British
money center will be transferred tenn
porarily from London to Ottawa, to
insure immediate payment on this
side of the water.

Worlds Largest Flag.


There's a new biggest flag ever
made" So much the biggest that
there is no Second biggest" worth
talking about The construction of
this monster flag has been finished
by the Amoskeag Manufacturing
Company. Here are the banners di-
mensions:
1t is 95 feet long and SO feet wide.
The width of each of it's 13 stripes
is near four feet (47 inches, to be ex-
act).
The great stars upon its blue field
are constructed with a 39-inch circle
and measure about three feet from
point to point. The blue field is 3S
feet in length by 25 feet five inches
in height.
The stars are placed four feet nine
inches between centers longitudinally
and four feet three inches vertically.
The stars alone weigh nine pounds,
while the completed flag weighs 200
pounds.
The proportions of this flag are
strictly in accordance with govern
ment regulations.
In making the flag another impor-
tant point in the government regula-
tions has been observed, that Of never
allowing the flag to touch the ground
"a very considerable task, consider
ing its dimensions.
To provide for this rule, as we'll as
to give the correct appearance OF
height, ETC., pole 2S5 feet tall has
been prepared as a flagstaff.
Many an apartment house could
be completely covered by the folds OF
the banner
Specially made bunting was needed
for the flag to withstand the tremen-
dous weight and the strain. Ordinary
bunting would tear like so much pa
per under the first tug.
A problem that is still to be solved
is:
Will any wind, short of an equinoc-
tial gale. be strong enough to fill the
folds of the giant flag and whip il
out straight? Remember, the banner
weighs 200 pounds (more than the
weight of barrel of flour) and there
is an area of 4,75O square feet OF
bunting for the wind to fill.
Perhaps some mathematical reader
will care to work out the problem as
to the volume of air pressure needful
to make the wonderful American flag
wave, and the wind velocity neces.
sary to make 200 pounds and 4,75O
square feet of bunting fly out
straight.

What Effect Will The
War Have On America?

Just at the present time the mind
of the average man is obsessed with
the idea of an enormous war. AS
soon as the American public begin to
think, they will discover that they
have much to do. Uncertainty will
be changed to certainty, money will
be released, manufacturing go ahead
as never before. Every dollar, every
square foot of ground, every grain,
every hand, every wheel, every ship
and every railroad will find that it
has not only all it can do, but more
than it can do to take care of what
is in reality right now knocking at
our door.
Washington is working with in
tensity on the development of the
merchant marine. Lake steamers
that are big enough to traverse the
ocean will with some slight changes
of equipment be put into condition to
make foreign trips. The smaller
steamers that have been more or less
idle during the recent slow period
will be busy with their lake work.
Even when we, the American people,
do our best, we will find that we
have not taken care of the demand
that is upon us.
These times are making a new
epoch in history, for there will be the
quickest reaction after a slow period
to times of intense activity that the
world has ever seen.
1t seems almost that Mother Ma
ture recognizes in advance the great
need that there will be for foodstuffs,
| blessed us with such bumper crops
as we have never had before, know
ing that it would be up to us Ameri-
cans to feed and clothe, to shelter, to
build and to transport, while others
are worse than wasting their time in
active destruction.
Prices will no doubt rise, every
, manufacturer product will show an
increased value, stocks in stores will
be worth more than a hundred cents
on the dollar.
Let us shake off the fears that
have recently taken hold of us and
realize the facts as they are.
The result of war is poverty. The
result of peace is prosperity.
Prepare for prosperity. 1t is COM
ing rapidly.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1914-09-03

A number of the leading business
men of Cleveland, Ohio, met the 9TH
er day to canvass the business situa-
ton in America, in its connection
with the European war.
1t is always well to carefully con-
slider the effects certain influences
will have on general business cono-
tions, and it was with that object
these business men met. Here are
some of the things they announce as
the consensus Of opinion:
Nations representing half the total
population of the earth have with
drawn many of their people from the
activities of commerce and produc-
ton, and those men are now engaged
in war.
War or conflict destroys what has
been produced-it produces nothing
useful.
Such nation or nations as are not
engaged in war will, therefore, be
called upon to produce not only their
usual quota OF the worlds needs but
take upon themselves the burden of
producing what the other nations
have through necessity neglected.
Not only have some of these nations
now at war interfered with their pres
ent commerce, but some of them have
permanently lost their trade. The
vast millions of people engaged in
this conflict have now and will have
still more an intense feeling OF hatred
toward each other, and will, there
fore, not purchase any goods from
opponents who are actually and liter
ally seeking to take their lives. 1t
will be for generations that the feel
ing of ill-will will no doubt exist be-
tween them.
The only large neutral nation,
large in a geographical, commercial
and manufacturing sense. is the Unit
ed States. 1t, therefore, will devolve
upon the United States to take care
to a considerable degree of the
worlds needs, which will give this
country more to do than it has ever
had before in all of its history. The
people Of foreign nations will be COM
PEELED to buy OF us or starve.
While they are engaged in wreck
ing lives, it is our opportunity, priv

merely for money making, but recog-
nize the large service we are called
upon to render humanity at large.
This means intense activity in busi-
ness.
