REPUBLICAN VOTERS
SHOULD BEWARE
Party Should Be Represented
on National Committee
BY a Republican

The Republicans of Oregon are en-
titled to have Republican named as
the National Republican Committee.
man from this State. c. w. Ackerson.
who claims to be Republican. is a
4 candidate. He registered as a Progress
sive January 8, 1914. Then signed peti-
tion of H. w. Coe to be Progressive
National Committeeman. Then can
celled his registration as a Progress
sive and registered as a Republican
and Immediately filed his candidacy
for membership on Republican Nation
al Committee. Has been an intimate
and convenient understudy of the Pro-
gressive National Committeeman and
seems now to be in combination with
him in an attempt to shanghai the
Republican organization. His candi-
dacy is being actively backed by par
ties hostile to the Republican party
and having personal interests and pri-
vate personal grudges to serve. His
erratic and excitable temperament has
frequently led him to flood the col
umns of the press with violent attacks
upon the Republican party and vicious
personal abuse of prominent Republi-
cans and lifelong residents of the
State.
It is a grave abuse for parties who
are not Republican to register as such.
1t is a graver abuse for outsiders to
attempt the capture of political par
ty to crafty personal grudge and
to promote party discord. It is an
abuse against which fair-minded men
of all parties will rise in protest. We
can never have reunited party by
pushing to the front political hotheads
and men who are political reformers
simply for the sake of office. Having
been a Republican only twenty-four
hours when he announced his candi-
dacy for the highest honorary position |
in the gift of the party, is some indi-
cation of what Mr.. Ackerson's motive |
was in registering as a Republican.
AS Hon. Ralph e. Williams is the only
who is a candidate for
National Committeeman,
we feel warranted in urging all loyal
in the state to give him
their earnest and enthusiastic support.

CARE or LEATHER BELTS.
Castor Oil an Excellent Dressing to
Keep Betting Soft.

Keep Betting Soft.
A leather belt should be kept soft
and pliable. There are several bell
dressings on the market which are
used to keep leather belts in good con
dition. 1t Is doubtful IL any of them
is better than castor oil. Spread the
oil us thinly as possible over the pulley
side Of the belt and allow it to soak
in before starting the engine. Repeat
In two or three days II necessary.
Never use rosin to keep belt from
slipping, as it hardens and cracks the
leather.
When belt squeaks 1t is slipping
This should be stopped as soon as pos
sible, as the slipping may generate
enough heat to scorch the pulley side
of the belt, making 1t short lived.
Common leather betting should not
be used for outside work unless pro
tected from moisture. A leather belt
Is made up Of short pieces of leather
glued together Under continued damp.
ness these may become unglued. There
are brands of betting on the market,
however. that are claimed to be mois-
ture proof.

DispeIlinq COOKING Odors.

To do away with the odors from
cooking and the impure air in restau-
rants, just before serving the meals
fill bowl with steaming hot water,
pour in few drops Of oil Of lavender.
The oil is easily handled, Is nonpoison-
GUS and can be purchased at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, as a few
drops In each bowl are sufficient to de-
odorize a large room. The bowl may
be removed after all the oil is evapo-
rated. The process works equally well
In private kitchens and dining rooms

Putting on Tire Chains.

A good and cheap way to fix set
of chains that are hard to put on Is
to purchase four good, strong snaps at
the hardware store. One snap should
equal the length Of the links to be
removed. Fasten all the cross chains
as though they were on the tire and
then proceed by cutting the two side
chains, removing the two links from
each side, and in their places put in the
snaps. After fixing the chains for both
wheels in this manner they are ready
to put on. Lay them fat upon the
ground. back the car over them, bring
the two ends around the wheel and
snap. This completes the job and is
well worth the time 1t takes to fix
them.

ROAD BUILDING
A SCHOOL STUDY
Plans Of an Oregon District
Supervisor.
A PRIZE COMPETITION.
An Interesting Experiment Making
Road Building Course of Study In
Rural Schools Is to Be Made In Lane
County. Ore.

Road building as course of study
In rural schools is to be tried In dis
trict OF Lane county, Ore, and a wo
man Is to direct the work. The ldea
was conceived by Miss Goldie Var
Biber, the district school supervisor
says Il recent report.
Actual road building Is the labora
tory work which will accompany this
course. The children Of each school
will build and maintain strip of coun.
try road near the school building. The
school whose road stands and is found
In the best condition when winter
comes will be the winner of contest
for which two silver cups have been
offered as prizes.
II was afraid that the county court
might not allow me to experiment on
the roads, but 1t has even authorized
the supervisors to furnish rock or
gravel, handle powder and do the
work that children could not do Alone"
said Miss Van Biber
The county court saw in the scheme
of Miss Van Blber plan to establish
the fundamentals of good road build
ing In new generation and at the
same time interest the present genera
tion In the principles of drainage and
highway construction. which the chill
dren learn at school. 1t has entered
Into the plan with enthusiasm
Miss Van Biber has Jurisdiction over
700 square miles, extending into Lin
coin. Lane and Douglas counties. All
the year, by horseback. boat or on foot,
she travels over the rough mountain
highways and up along the small riv-
ers. She introduced manual training
In the Siuslaw schools, and exhibits Of
handicraft, sewing, carpentry and bead
work from Florence took first prizes
at the county fair, ahead of the Eugene
and advanced Valley schools. She in
stalled the Industrial work and put 1t
under proper supervision. Road build
ing is her next step.
Speaking of her plan. she said:
"This is no scheme to work children
on the roads. They will care for only
100 yards, and not necessarily that
much, If the district road is difficult
The road building is not to be taught
by the teachers, because the average
teacher IL not qualified to teach rood
building.
I'VE shall organize good roads club
An each school. We shall give the
scholars credit for the hour or more
week that they spend on the roads.
Those who undertake the road work,
which will be purely optional, will be
excused from studying the road chap
ter in the agricultural manual The
whole plan is to arouse interest in
roads and give adequate instruction,
and the already overworked teachers
will not be burdened with this addi-
tional work.
"Of course all districts will not be
able to participate, because many
schools are built on trails. They have
no roads on which to work. Possibly |
these districts can compete for the
prize by laying out and actually build
ing piece Of road past their school,"

ROADS AND LIVING COST.
Cost of Hauling Big Factor In Expense
of Farm Products to Consumer.

Cost of Hauling Big Factor In Expense
of Farm Products to Consumer.
Until very recently the vast majori-
ty of people failed to understand that
the good road is not mere country
dweller's convenience or the means to
motorists pleasure, but that it Is an
actual economic necessity. That 1t
costs the farmers of this country more
for u ten mile haul of produce from
farm to town than it does to ship that
produce from New York to London Is
fact. That 1t costs farmers abroad
from one-half to one-tenth as much to
haul ton a mile on a road as 1t does
the farmers of this country is another
fact.
That practically every pound of flesh
and bushel of wheat we consume must
travel over a road at least once and
sometimes twice before we eat 1t is a
third fact The three are the answer
to one part Of the question, "Why does
it cost SO much to live?" Some one
has to pay for the expensive hauling
Some one has to pay for the deprecia-
ton in the value of the horses and We
hicles caused by poor roads Some
one has TO pay for the extra time 1t
takes to haul cotton to market when
two mules are required to haul two
bales ten miles In one day. when on a
good road the same two mules could
haul twenty-four bales in the same
time with the same eeffOrt-Suhurhan

the vehicle Is started from rest the

outer member and the driving sprocket.

Mothers Day Observed.

Sunday was Mothers Day, and was
generally observed at the Dallas
churches by the ministers preaching
special sermons and with special mu-
sic. The white carnation, the en-
blem worn in remembrance of moth
er, was considerably in evidence. The
Idea of setting aside a day each
year out of respect TO mother, first
conceived by Miss Anna Jarvais of
Philadelphia, few years ago, has
grown until today it is nation wide.
