Use of Drugs Among
Clipper" Classes Serious

Albany, N. "a plea for the re-
lief of drug victims was made by DR..
Charles A. Towns, of New York, be-
fore legislative hearing here on bills
designed to restrict the sale of habit
forming drugs, principally cocaine and
its derivatives.
1.-THE drug problem in the under
world is one for the police to cope
WITH" DR.. Towns said. s'But drugs
have worked greater havoc in the
upper world than in the underworld,
and here the havoc has been wrought
on men and women who are really
worth while, whom it is the duty OF
the medical profession, the drug trade
and Of everybody who lays the slight
est claim to decent humanity to con-
serve
A feature of the proposed laws is q
provision designed to treat those who
obtain drugs in violation of the law
as victims of disease and not Grim
lnals. This provision would give 9
magistrate authority to commit habit
ual users of drugs to hospitals or SAM
tarlums instead of to prison.

Champion Of Single Tax
Dies from Pneumonia

Philadelphia - Joseph Fels, million
aire soap manufacturer, single tax
advocate and philanthropist, died il
his home here from pneumonia, after
. brief illness. He was 81 years old.
Mr.. Fels spent most Of his time in
recent years advocating the doctrine
Of the single tax in this country and
Great Britain. He recently returned
from England, where he had given q
large part Of his fortune to the crea-
ton and maintenance Of q single tax
cooperative colony, near London.
Employees Of his firm in this city
benefit by profit-sharing system in
augurated by Mr.. Fels.
Although he early became an advo-
cate Of Henry Georges ideas, it was
not until he went to live in England
about eight years ago as the English
representative Of his firm that Mr..
Fels began to devote his energy to the
cause Of single taxation. Since then
his friends estimate he expended
more than 500, 900 annually and Wis
tied every part of the world to ad-
vance the propaganda. Not only was
he leader in the cause in this coun-
try and England, but he was large
contributor to funds for the single tax
campaigns in Denmark, Germany,
France, Spain, Australia, New Zea-
land and Canada.
His guarantee to the FEELS fund in
America, with headquarters in Gin
cinnati, was $25, 200 year.

Is Discouraged.

uoob;ngton, D. C.-The theoretical
,srvationists have begun their
c0l sult on the Wilson administration.
81 sssaa aecretary of war short time ago
iinr e reported a bill permitting
ls'' development of water power on
Inc Inc Roanoke river, Virginia. That
Il did not meet the approval Of the
loanorists and they straightway began
'n' contest either to kill the bill OF
s...e the administration to change its
The opponents of a practical and
.aoonable water-power policy, en-
,.0uraged by their first success, are
wv making demands even more, pre-
no than some they made a few
months ago.
Not only are they asking that the
Federal government shall supervise
.nd control development of water
n NV both on the public domain and
m navigable rivers, but they are in
sisting that whenever permission is
Given to private corporations to de-
velop water power, such permits shall
extend for only so years and shall be
,svocable at the will of the President
or some member of his cabinet and,
furthermore, they insist that at the
end of so years the power plant and
annurtenances erected and installed
under government permit shall revert
to the government for such disposition
as future administrations may deem
wise. This latter demand Of the the
oretical conservationists is meeting
with stout resistance on the part of
Western senators and congressman,
for they maintain that such a policy
would be absolutely prohibitive.
One theory, and the principal object
of Federal control of water powers, is
to prevent monopoly and to regulate
rates. If power company receiving
permit from the government is re-
CURED, at the end of 80 years, to sur
render its plant to the government, it
must, in order to earn interest on its
investment, sell its power at an alb
normally high rate, or it will operate
at loss. The mere fact that the
government proposes to regulate rates
would prevent power company from
imposing such charges as would enable
it in so years to recover on cost of in
sallation.

Mighty Awakening Seen
by Secretary Of Commerce

Dayton, O.-An industrial awaken
ing that will revolutionize the nations
business, minimize the possibility of
wrecked and wasted lives and elevate
working men and women to positions
that will keep them in safety and de-
cency was predicted by William C.
Redfeld, secretary Of commerce,
speaking on the human side of fac
tory, commercial and industrial life
before the Greater Dayton association.
81 speak of this not in criticism
not as finding fault that more is not
done, but rather as opening the door
to mighty hope" Mr.. Redfield said.
"Good as our schools are, they leave
much undone. We are not teaching
out boys and girls how to work. We
turn them out-speaking of the coun-
try az whole at IA years OF age,

amount Of academic knowledge, but
without any training whatever Tor

The girl suffers perhaps worse, with

at is one of the real tragedies that
has its pitiful reactions in every in,
dustrial home. The mechanic would
have his SON learn trade well and not
"a struggle as his father did. A moth

often must run.
ssThe thought of the nation has been
too supine il this matter. but 1t Is

Many Problems Confront
The Market Gardener

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor.
Wallis" Many inexperienced garden.
ers who expect to take up the business
Of truck gardening for the first time
do not begin to realize the many diff.
cult problems that confront them, >
said Professor A. G.. Boquet, who il
in charge Of vegetable gardening al
che Oregon Agricultural college. "The
average goods, and the average meth.
DDS of selling are not enough to con.
stitute success. There has got to be
something superior.
81 am convinced that many who
have signified their intention to EN-.
bark in the business for the first time
next spring, have lands that have not
vet demonstrated their ability to grow
commercial crops. While in good
many instances their soil may be quite
suitable for growing the crops Sc
lected, in many others the reverse il
likely to prove true. Apparently the
future gardeners do not always appre-
ciate the Importance Of proper soil
adaptability to the crop in hand. II
is surely as necessary for truckers t.
distribute their crops over the right
kind Of soils as it is for the fruitgrow.
ers, who have taken SO much pains t.
harmonic their trees with their soils.
ssThe selection Of the right crop il
another matter that requires very
careful consideration. Not only
should they be adapted to the soili
where they are grown, but also to the
demands Of the market they are des'
ignated to I'LL. Only when we encour-
age the growing of the right crop o.

Growers Hold Discussion
On Orchard Subjects

=
Washington State College, Pullman.
- A rousing horticultural meeting
closed the farmers week" program
here. Orchard fertilizers, cover crops
and insect pests each came in for dis
cussion.
Before applying fertilizer ascer.
tain by noting the action Of the plant
growth if fertilizer is needed, said
Professor R. j. Barnett. ''Other con-
ditions being right q poor growth Of
wood and foliage denotes that nitro
gen is lacking in the soil. Poorly de-
veloped and misshapen fruit often in
dicates lack of phosphorus, while q
poor skin color most often means that
the soil is deficient in potassium. II
it is necessary to supply nitrogen use
cover crops or barnyard manure. 9th
er elements also are added by the ma
nure, but not to SO great an extent by
the cover crops. Use commercial fer
tilizers only when manure and cover
crops are impracticable because of pc
culiar conditions or entirely out of the
question from other causes
The growth of cover crops in orch
ards was advocated by w. S. Thorn
Der, of Lewiston, who pointed out that
the kind of crop to be used varies
according to local conditions. Some
orchards need a nitrogen producing
crop, while others need a cover crop
that will conserve the nitrogen al
ready in the soil.
keep your orchards free from lit
ter and reduce the loss from insect
pests and Infection" said Professor
W. o. Ellis, in dealing with the sub
ject, Insect Hybridization in Or
chard Litters." Orchard filters, &C.
cording to Professor Ellis, are one of
the greatest sources of insect infec-
tion and the money spent in keeping
the orchard free from litter will pay
big dividends in increased profits"
In his talk on EARN Sanitation
Professor 0. L. Waller, vice president
of the college and professor of mathe-
MATES and civil engineering, advanced
the idea that the sewage from the
cities and towns can be used to good
advantage for irrigation purposes on
the farm. This sewage, could be made
sanitary by the use of septic tanks.
The speaker cited examples of the
success of this plan, including Paris and
Berlin.
No farm where the use of a septic
tank is possible should be without
one," said Professor Waller, who ex-
planned the purpose and construction
of the tanks.
The contention that an automobile
may be put to good use for power pur-
pses on the farm was objected to by
Professor I. D. Charlton, professor of
farm mechanics, who based his objec-
ton on the assertion that investment
is too great for the character of work
performed and that oftentimes the
power would be greater than is act
ually needed to perform the work.
The added wear and tear on the high
power automobile engine over that of
the farm enine of less horsepower was
another objection made by Professor
Charlton. The use Of gasoline for
farm power was discussed by Profess
'sor Charlton, who explained the con-
struction of the engines and mentioned
many good uses to which they may be
put.

German Warship Lands
Armed Force in Mexico


Vera Cruz-The commander Of the
German cruiser Dresden has shipped
to the German Legation in Mexico
City two machine guns and 10000
rounds of ammunition. Accompany
ing the shipment went a squad of
bluejackets from the Dresden in civil
ian dress.
The detail of bluejackets on duty at
the American consulate was with
drawn and replaced by guard of
picked marines under command of
sergeant. This step was taken after
General Gustavo Mas, commander of
the Federal forces here, had been no
titled and given his consent.
Washington, D. C.-No surprise
was manifested officially here at the
landing of squad of German blue
jackets for the protection Of the Ger
man legation at Mexico City. This is
in line with the recent action of the
British government and is said to be
in pursuance Of an understanding with
the American government on this
point.

1t u also reasonable to suppose
that many beginners who do not under
stand the proper methods Of handling
their soils. crops, fertilizer and other
problems Of production will not be
able to make success Of it.
The result will be discontented
frame OF mind and tendency severely
to criticize climatic conditions and soil.
It is suggested as simple precaution
that these important details be
mastered in a small way before they
are applied on a large, commercial
scale. We all desire to see this phase
OF the horticultural interests grow and
to have the growers satisfactorily get
their rightful share of the profits Of
the business.
Successful market gardening is not
possible without giving careful atten-
ton to these problems, which are only
q part Of the large number to be
solved, and the inexperienced had bet
ter make small beginnings.

Have You Had The Grip?

There are certain disorders, such as
the grip, that especially debilitate and
make the body an easy prey for more
dangerous diseases. Ask those who
have had the grip regarding the pres
ent condition of their health and most
of them will answer: Since | mad the
grip l have never been we'll" They
still have profuse perspiration, the
persistent weakness of the limbs, the
disordered digestion, shortness of
breath and palpitation of the heart
caused by the thin blooded condition
in which the grip almost always
leaves it's victim after the fever and
influenza have subsidized. They are
furthermore, at the mercy of relapses
and of complications, often very seri-
Gus. In an attack of the grip there
is rapid thinning of the blood and
not until the blood is built up again
is complete health restored.
