No Embargo By Pres. Grant

The writer of this editorial recently had conversation
with American banker of German descent who is greatly
exercised in his mind because Americans selling and
munitions abroad He is good American citizen but can be
scarcely termed neutral in his views the He wants
Germany and Austria to win He wants the export of arms
and munitions stopped. He wants to stop the export
of arms and munitions because he would like for this nation
help Germany He does not admit that this would be tax
ing sides with Germany but this is his attitude One does not
need be logical in order to be honest The startling thing
in his conversation this:
''Why shouldn't establish embargo arms and
munitions? Grant established embargo these very
things in the of 1907
This statement is going the rounds of the conversation
of those who favor such emabrgo 1t is absolutely untrue
Where did 1t sart9 Who keeps going9 1t interesting
query.
Grant did not establish embargo in the
of 1870 We invite person who prove the contrary to
submit his proofs
Americans who being fed such fasehoods being
duped They being dped against the interests of their
country and against the policy of the state department. We
have always refused to sell arms and munitions OWNED BY
THE GOVERNMENT to help warning nations That would
be unfrendy act We have always allowed citizens to
make and sell these things just Germany and Austria have
always done Not to allow the trade would be unfrendy
act to the nations denied.
The most surprising thing the tourist when he first

leaves are!

DON'T WORRY
ABOUT that
ITCHING Rash

Don't worry any more about
that itching skin-trouble. Just
spread a little resinol ointment
over the sick skin and the itch
ing disappears as II you had
simply wiped 1t away!
And--even more important -
this soothing, healing ointment
gets right to the source of the
trouble and rarely fails to clear
away every trace of the unsighly,
tormenting eruption.
Doctors have prescribed resinol
ointment for over twenty years.

healthy skins to its use. 1t con-

A bas this college education for the farmer! 1t
has shown him how to turn his potatoes, corn
and carrots into alcohol and how to profitably
use that product through the degeneracy of his
hens. Alcoholism cannot fail to have deleter-
ious effect upon the hen; and what show on
Gods earth will the rooster have, standing
around with no beverage that cheers?
You can bet that as he doesn't lay eggs he
won't get even a smell of the new hen-drink.
You'll not see commercialism serving him with
any more costly drink than just the usual pud
die water It's outrage on the loyal hen, con-
tumely on her worthy husband. Stop it!

Oregon Farmer: Some time age
we printed an article about the need
of lime on our soils, and gave a
brief report of the lime deposits in
Oregon, particularly in the upper Will
lamette valley The grange at Mon
mouth has become interested in the
matter, invited some of the agricul-
tural college force over and now that
institution will make an effort to in
duce the state to buy land in Polk
county and put up plant to crush
lime and sell it to the farmers at
cost. 1t will be recalled that in the
article referred to, it was stated that
a considerable deposit of lime existed
in Polk county. and this is the one
which grange and agricultural college
want the state to buy. 1t is said that
the price of lime in the valley would
be cut in two. We have the lime; our
land needs it; why not have it?"
