EXPECT FIGHT TO LAST;
WARS COST TO GERMANY

Berlin, Sept. 80, via London.-The
correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger,
in dispatch published here today.
points out that a decisive turn in the
battle which has been raging in the
western theater of war need not be
expected for some time. Subordinate
actions of decisive character are be-
coming more general, the correspond
ent declares.
The losses of the Germans have been
extraordinarily heavy, and the fact
that those of the enemy have been
greater is poor consolation. The
troops are confident that in the end
they will win the action.

removed all anxiety the nation may
have had regarding its ability to meet

Ductless Glands.

Still another attempt to make use
of the new knowledge tht the ductless
glands of the body have very large
part of the business of keeping the
body operating as it should, is the
treatment OF mentally defective chill
dren by doses of pineal glanus in cap
sules.
A New York doctor has recently
reported considerable success in a
hundred cases, and the treatment Is
likely soon to have a thorough trying
out in a great many cases, to see
whether the hopes raised by these
first cases are justified. His atten-
ton had been called to the case of a
boy five years old who was developed
physically and mentally like boy OF
twelve, and who had tumor of the
pineal gland, which perhaps increased
the activity of that tiny mechanism.
Pineal glands from bullocks were
prepared for experiments, and rabbits
were given the preparation in the
form of pills. The rabbits so dosed
all grew faster than their brothers
which were not dosed. After due pre-
cautions had been taken, to be sure
that harmful results would not fol

tally defective children for whom
there seemed little hope of improve

that it was useless except in cases o.

The Value of Water.

Grants Pass Courier: There is a
reason for the salubrious climate of
the Rogue Valley; cause for its ap-
pellation, Sunny Southern Oregon"
The reason and the cause are found
in the glorious sunshine that streams
down from cloudless skies during the
long summer months. 1t is self-evi-
dent, however, that this sunshine can
not stream down during rain storms,
and that therefore the typical Rogue
Valley summer is rainless. The pres
ent summer is not an exceptional one
through lack of rain. Last season
with its summer rains was the eXcep-
tion. There is plenty of experience to
demonstrate that moisture must be
artificially applied to Rogue Valley
soil to make it bring forth in abund-
ance the crops that it can produce in
such matchless excellence. The man
who quotes 1918, or other years of it's
kind, as proof that the valley does
not need irrigation will go broke
waiting for the exceptional year to
come. Progress and prosperity will
come only when water is available
every year, whether it rains or not.
Some will tell you that the orch
ard needs no irrigation; that the un-
irrigated fruit is best in quality. Note
the experience of one most capable
orchardist this season. H. Wood of
the lower valley has this week har-
vested his Bartlett pears. A few
weeks ago his crop was estimated at
about 65 boxes from the few trees of
this variety that he has. The fruit
was very small, the dry, hot weather
having taken all the moisture from
the soil and the trees were suffering.
Il pumped water into that orchard
about three-Quarters of day." said
Mr.. Wood to the Courier, and the
effect of that water was wonderful;
the pears Immediately took on size,
! and better pears were never seen.
Instead of having So or 70 boxes, as
| had expected, have just harvested
130 boxes. | shall certainly not be
caught in the lurch for lack of water
again"
Mr.. Wood may be so fortunately
situated that he is independent in the
matter of water supply. The average
land owner is not. 1t is the average
man who will be benefited by the or
ganization of an irrigation district
and the development of general sys-
TEN of irrigation. General prosperity
can never come to the valley till wa
ter is available for all the lands, A
board of directors elected from
among the people can solve the per-
picking question if there is an ade-
quate solution. Let's find the way.

were stationed at various railroad
crossings to observe what precaution-
airy action was taken by automobile
drivers, teamsters and pedestrians
before crossing tracks at grade.
The results of these observations
were compiled into detail form, which
showed that but one-tenth of one per
cent of the $4,000 persons observed
stopped and looked in both directions
before crossing tracks and that SO
per cent of the automobile drivers
took absolutely no precaution what
ever but crossed the tracks without
stopping nor looking in either direc-
tion before crossing.
"The most astonishing fact revealed
by these observations was that of the
number of cases where stop signals
given by the crossing flagmen were
utterly ignored by the teamsters and
automobile drivers. Accident record!

resulted from crossing flagmen's sig
