HON. S. j. TREBLE AND HIS
p MAGIC LANTERN.

Dear Sir: Am writing to inform
you, that Hon. S. J. Tribble gave a
magic lantern show at this place the
other night. Among other things. he
emphasized the Importance Of stand
ing by the Wilson-Bryan Administra-
ton. His explanation of why the
Democrats had appropriated such
stupendous sums: the Republicans
had begun these appropriations: that
the Democrats must continue them, in
order to reap any benefits. He said
the man that criticised the Admins
tration was not so loyal to Democratic
principles.
Now, Mr.. Watson, isn't Samuel
Grating some, considering the hard
tight we made to get him where he
is? Honestly, now, did you ever
know OF c. M. taking a magic Ian
tern to alleviate the suffering of his
constituency?
Say, by the way, Sam, at Bowman,
In display Of his magic scenery,
showed the picture of Mr.. Watson
(lots of Watson men at Bowman),
but at Hartwell (Sam's crowd can't
endure Watson), hence Sam kept
Watson we'll hid.
Now, II that ism rapid strides for
our Samuel to make, while so young,
then | don't know how to stride
Mr.. Watson, we up here that be-
lieve in Jeffersonian Democracy, feel
that Sam offered us a very large and
bad dose, when he asked us to swal-
low Tumulty Woodchoke Wilson, and
Salarating Bryan. We just won't
swallow such twaddle.
[ hope you will give Sam a gentle
reminder Of Bill Howard. Sam will
remember what we did for Bill
We hope to interest Sam, at least
next year, because Charlie Barrett
could not find Sam when he (Charlie)
was at Washington last fall trying to
get relief for the farmers. Sam said
that Wilson was giving the Roman
Catholics patronage in order to carry
the New England States. "Stand by
Wilson," Sam declared He said this
administration would prove the most
prosperous of any since the Civil War.
Sincerely your friend,
r. l.. RUSSELL.

sion. Will you please allow us TO
thank, through your valuable paper,
Mr.. Sam Wallace for the interest he
takes in our behalf. He says that
the Daughters OF the Confederacy
said, hands off. But he does not go
far enough and say that they now,
all over the South, have changed,
right-about face; that at a general
convention in Savannah of all of the
Southern States they passed resolu-
tons to that end. !"
Now, then, as the Honorable Hoke
is going to have opposition in the
next election, we had best look to it
and pass that pension bill for us old
Feds that fought, bled and died upon
the raging field. Not that we can buy
the vets votes. But it will have a
great lever power, as it were, to help
him over. the rocky way. 1t would
show US that he has not forgotten us.
So let it go at that. And as far as
our Northern friends are concerned,
they all and everyone will do more
for us today than our own people.
Thanking you for publishing Mr..
Sam Wallace's letter, and wishing
that you will please give this little
space III your most valuable paper.
we are,
Yours truly,
SEYMOUR STEWART,

Home, soon to be in Johnstown,

Dear Sir: We have man here
from Atlanta, Ca, Mr.. Freeman.
He tells me that Franks wife had APP

BIG FOOD SUPPLY NEEDED.
Every Available Acre in United
States Should Be Planted.

The United States Department of
Agriculture, the state boards and the
experts all over the country are urg-
ing the farmers of America to cult
vate every available acre during the
coming year. The war in Europe as
sures the sale of almost everything
that can be raised. Every article that
Is exported to feed the soldiers and
the citizens and the stock of Europe
means just that much less for home
consumption, therefore, even with big
crops of everything. the prices will be
high. IF it is not good crop year
the farmer will at least raise enough
for home use and will not have to
pay the high prices that will prevail
Utilize every available acre for grain,
grasses and vegetables. In many see.
tions farmers are urged to try a
double acreage of potatoes. 1t should
not be necessary, under proper condi-
tions, to import potatoes into any ag-
ricultural county. Put the hens and
turkeys to work and give them
square deal. Raise pigs, cattle and
horses in as large numbers as the ac-
commodations of the farm will justify
and any losses that any farmer,
planter or rancher may have sustain
ed last year will be more than made
good. The war in Europe may last
for months or years, but while it con-
tinues there will be an active demand
for everything we produce. Should
the war end this week the nations en-
gagged will need all our surplus pro-
duets for year at least.

A SYSTEM OF SIGNS.
Information Will Be Furnished Trav
elers During Exposition Year.

The eight counties comprising the
Willamette valley, through the Viii
lamette Valley Exposition associa-
ton, will erect large board signs
along the line of the Southern Pacific
railroad telling passengers on trains
in what county they are, and Civ
ing the name of the nearest important
town. These signs will be uniform in
size and attractive in appearance,
Dallas not being on the main line,
Polk will not come in for any Of these
honors. 1t is important, therefore,
that we should establish our own
signs along the Pacific highway as
far south at least as Roseburg. invit-
ing automobilists to cross the bridge
at Salem and visit the banner county
of the Willamette valley.

DIRTY EGGS ARE COSTLY.
Heavy Losses to Producer Would Be
Inevitable Result.

In a recent visit to Portland Mr..
Dryden of the Oregon Agricultural
college poultry department found that
the eggs on sale in the markets show
ed a large percentage Of "dirties. y
In fact, few eggs were seen that
could be called clean. Baskets in the
market stalls and in store windows
had over them large signs, such as
"Oregon fresh eggs. 30 cents a doz-
en- Other grades of eggs were sold
as low as 20 ceutS a dozen. Two wo-
men were seen to stop in front of the
sign, "Oregon fresh eggs" After
reading the sign they looked at the
eggs an. one of them remarked, my,
but they're dirty" and both passed
on without purchasing.
1.-THE eggs may have been fresh. 8"
said Mr.. Dryden. "but it is a mistake
to ship or sell dirty eggs. They do
not find ready buyers. The consump-
tion of eggs would be greatly increas-
ed if they were sold without the dirt.
During the rainy season in western
Oregon there are, of course, more dir
ty eggs that at other seasons, but this
condition could be remedied to a con-
siderable extent by keeping the poul-
try-house floors covered with clean
straw. The straw will act as a foot
bath. The chickens, in scratching for
food. will have exercise and clean
their feet after coming in out of the
muddy yard.
"Again, dirty nests are responsible
for good many dirty eggs. The
nests should be kept clean. The straw,
or whatever nesting material Is used.
should be renewed often enough to
prevent eggs being soiled. of course,

WITNESS AFTER WITNESS IN
DALLAS.
Such Evidence Our Readers Cannot
Dispute.

AS we take up The Observer week
by week, we are struck by the hearty,
unmistakable way in which witness

co does here. If these people were
strangers living miles away, we might
take little notice of them. But they
are not. They are our neighbors, liv-
ing among us. Their word is too
easily proven to admit of any doubt.
They speak out in the hope that their
experience may be a guide to others.

POLK NEARLY RID OF PEST.
Two-Year Fight on Gophers Greatly
Reduces Destruction.

The war on gophers. which has been
conducted in Polk county for two
years, has at last secured a grip on
the common field pests work and de-
struetion has abated partially, accord
ing to the statements of extensive
land owners in the Monmouth section.
The farmers say the clover crop has
attracted the gophers. In the sum
mer and fall months the gophers un-
dermine the clover plants and stop
seed development. The animals also
fatten in potato fields and sap plant
life in gardens in the early summer.

Newberg Defeats Dallas.

The Dallas high school team met
defeat at the hands of the Newbere
team at Newberg Friday night, the
score being % to IA. Had the local
team won this game it would have
given them a good title to the champ
ionship of the Willamette valley. As
it is they have an even break for the
honor with the Newberg team. For
the past two seasons the Dallas highs
have defeated Newberg on their own
floor and the boys were confident that
they would return home victorious.

there will be some dirty eggs even
with these precautions. In that case
ii is better to wash them before send
ing them to market. 1t is better, how
ever, if the washing can be avoided,
because washing the egg tends to in
jure its keeping qualities. But the
egg had better be washed if dirty, and
in that way the consumption of eggs
will be increased
"It is matter Of hundreds and
probably thousands of dollars lost to
the poultry-keepers of the state, this
matter of dirty or soiled eggs.
"Of course, the poultry producer
may say, and with apparent reason,
what S the use?' If the dealers
would refuse to pay for dirty eggs the
same price as for clean eggs, there
would soon be marked improvement
in those exposed for sale in the Port
land markets. -

proves successful, it will become a

UPON BUSINESS BASIS
FRUIT INDUSTRY GETS BACK
ING OF BANKERS.
Four Northwestern States Join in Co.
operative Movement For Mar
keting Product.

Polk county fruit men are enthusi,
astic over the result of the Tacoma
meeting last week, when representa-
tives from four states convened and
by their deliberations placed the IN
dustry on a sounder and more sub
stantial basis. As evidence Of the
success of the plans formulated at
this conventions the banking interests
of the northwest have agreed to stand
behind the growers and have pledged
their support, something which here
tofore they have not had.
The object in organizing the Fruit
Growers council is for the purpose
of securing, so far as possible, proper
and legitimate cooperation which
will lead to the obtaining for the BEN
eft of the fruitgrowers of the Pacific
northwest the full amount to which
they are entitled for their fruits in
the markets of the world; and for the
purpose of preventing unfair business
methods by the various shippers and
handlers of fruits, which will adverse
" affect the interests of the growers
of such fruit, and for the purpose of
further advancing the welfare of the
fruitgrowers of the northwest.
The fruitgrowers of the four north
west states are now united as one
unit, and will shortly be joined by
Colorado and Utah. A splendid feel
ing was manifested throughout the
convention and cooperation between
the growers and selling agencies is as
sured. The main purposes of the
Growers council will be:
To obtain for fruit growers the
maximum amount of service in return
for the compensation paid the shipper
by the grower.
To secure the adoption of such uni
form methods for the transaction of
business between shipper and grower
as will furnish a fair basis Of com
parison.
To establish such practices with re-
gard to the selling and marketing Of
fruit as will tend to eliminate con-
signment and auction sales, prevent
unwise and unfair competition and
in every possible manner stabilize the
market and secure for the grower
the greatest possible net return for
his product.
In conjunction and cooperation
with the shippers, to proceed, as oc-
casion offers, by conservative and
well-considered measures to improve
the conditions affecting the produc-
tion and marketing of fruit and es-
pecially to promote the interests OF
the box apple industry of the north
west.
To arrange for the collection
through the shippers of tax, to be
paid by the grower, not to exceed one
quarter cent per box for apples and
pears and one-eighth cent per box on
smaller fruits shipped; to provide for
the cost and expense of this organi-
zation, all such funds to be subject to
disbursement by the executive com
mittee, who shall make periodic re-
ports to the board of control.
To make agreements with the ship
pers for the carrying out of the pur-
poses herein outlined, and for other
purposes as the same may appear to
be mutually advantageous. and to en-
force the same.
