THE CITY FEEDING THR coUN.
TRY r.

According to EARN and Fire
side," the town of Los Angeles
gathers up from $50 to ITS tons Of
garbage a day and converts it into
twenty to twenty-five tons Of fer
tilizer. That sells at from $14 to
$1s per tor. It goes to the or
chards, farms, and vegetable gar
dens of the vicinity.
Experience with the Los Angeles
plan is but a duplication of the ex-
perience of Toledo and other Amer
ican cities, as well as many in Eu-
rope. Proper utilization of garbage
represents the opportunity to dis
pose Of the city's wastes without
expense, and in some cases at q
profit to the city; while at the same
time the resultant fertilizer goes
back to the soil from which 1t came,
and to which it ought never to be
lost.
Nobody need think twice to real
ize that the incineration or other
waste Of the useful elements in a
great city's garbage is worse than
wicked. The land cannot be de-
nuded always Of it's most valuable
constituents, and yet go on produc-
ing for the increasing millions of
population. The modern method of
handling fertilizers means economy
to the city and also to the country;
it presents the city, for the first
time, in the business of feeding the
soil.
A few years ago this plan was
proposed for Washington, and was
urged strongly. It is certain ulti-
mately to be adopted, simply be-
cause it has demonstrated its effi-
cacy in so many cities. Washington
ought to be particularly attractive
place for the operation, because this
city Is the center Of a region where
the use Of fertilizers is general, is
thoroughly understood, and is car
ried on intelligently.
But the idea is bigger than any
one city's concerns can measure. 1t
has to do with the broadest aspects
Of real conservation policy. The soil
must be restored. The drain from
it must be kept at the lowest point
possible. The cities must not be
permitted to waste the resources of
the whole land, as they tend to do
when garbage is worse than wasted,

THE GREAT WAR CREDIT

=, "HiAC w 20 Dack TO
the beginning Of the war and re-
view the events from that time down
to the present, in order to get an
accurate impression of the signifi-
canoe Of the proposed extension of
credit to certain of the warning
countries. The war came just at a
time when business in the United
States was poor. The greatest wheat
crop in our history was being har-
vested, and it was giving promise of
selling for the lowest prices of
this century. Manufacturing indus
try was in a depression due to a
variety Of causes. Then the war be-
gan.
The war demanded everything we
could provide for the maintenance
OF both civilians and soldiers, Wheat
sold for about twice as much as it
would have brought if there had
been no war. Idle factories were
set at work making all manner of
supplies for the warning countries:
from shoes to shrapnel, the gamut
was covered. The resourcefulness.
the capability, of this nation as a
purveyor Of everything to every
body, was suddenly realized. Did
South America need chemical prod
ucts, Heretofore supplied by Ger
many? The United States could
produce them. Did Belgium require
relief to keep its people alive? It
turned to America, and America re-
sponded. Nations in command Of
the seas needed cannon, aeroplanes,
ammunition, khaki, everything that
went to outfit armies, and the
United States had the goods.
A year Of this has changed ad-
versity to prosperity. The time has
come when this country must de-
eide whether it wants to continue
this business. There must be extern
sion of credit to our customers; of
credit based on absolutely good Sc
curity; credit of the sort that these
same nations have for generations
extended to US when we have need
ed it.
America faces, in short, the ques-
ton whether 1t will stand by the
people who have stood by it. Put
ting the thing on the coolest busi-
ness basis, that is the situation.
American railroads, farms, indus
try, enterprise, represent in part the
interest that the French and Brit
ish nations have taken in America
in the past. They have had conf
dence and capital to invest in this
country. Will this country do as
much for them in their time of
need?
There is determined effort in
some quarters to organize opposi-
tion to national business and pros
perity in this matter. 1t Is quite a
different affair from a weighing of
sympathies or prejudices in the mat
ter Of our partisanship. The pro-
posal to extend large credit to
countries able and willing to buy
here, is merely proposal to keep
our own business going, to strength
en- our place as the foremost pro-
wider of the world, to establish our
selves for the present and for the
after-the-war period, as the greatest
reservoir of economic and financial
power.

EIGHT" CARS PROVE
TO BE POPULAR

Various reports have been prevalent
over the country on the future of the
eight cylinder motor car. In Detroit
there seems TO be no doubt of its fu-
ture. Both the Cadillac Motor Car
Company and the King car company,
the pioneer American manufacturers
of eight cylinder motor cars, have
big business, both factories being taxed
to their capacity on production. The
latest move to attract the attention of
the car industry on the eight cylinder
motor car is the shipment by the King
motor car company of trainload, over
Sl00, 600 worth of their eight cylinder
product to Chicago.
This King trainload is the first ship
ment of its kind for eight cylinderSmo-
tor cars in the historykof the industry.
Automobile men are now. debating as
to whether or not the future of the in
dustry is not to see "a big increase in
the shipping of automobiles by the
trainload.
The Chicago trainload of King eghts
was contracted for by R.J. Morgan and
G. F. Woods, of King Chicago distrib-
uting house, the factory's interest be-
ing in the hands of Sales Manager W.
L.. Daily and Treasurer F. A. Vol
brecht. While Buick, Franklin and
REQ have in the past sent tIainloads of
automobiles to the northwest, the King
trainload is the first shipment of its
kind to be sent to Chicago.
Reaching Chicago the cars were put
under their own power, and, driven by
men and women, they paraded Chica-
go's business loop. 1t was one of the
most inspiring sights of the return of
big business for the middlewest me-
tropolis since the Chicago automobile
show,

F. W. Bluhm, superintendent of the

cream. The new apparatus should be
in place by the latter part of this
week, and local people, by the time the
warm weather begins, will be enabled
to refresh themselves with cooling
local product.
n.Success is predicted for the new en-
terprise. While the output this sum-
mer will be limited, number of mer-
chants having already contracted to
use the creams of outside manufac-
tories, it is predicted that the local ice
cream will be in strong demand in fol-

CLEANUP WEEK" Is
BEING OBSERVED

"This week, according TO the proc
lamation issued March 80 by Governor
Withyeombe. is Clean Up Week for
Oregon" says Mrs. c. II. Castner,
chairman of the Give committee Of the
Oregon State Federation Of Woman's
clubs. the members Of which are very
grateful TO see the statewide interest
that has been manifested. 81 have
received letters from officers of Wom-
ans clubs in all parts of the state, and
many declare that cleanup weeks or
days have already been observed.
From more than score Of towns and
cities, where there are no Woman's
clubs, have had correspondence from
secretaries of commercial bodies, all
of whom evidence an interest and de-
clare that they will cooperate with the
plan.
In fact, most communities have al
ready done much toward making their
homes and places of business spick and
span for the inspection of the many
visitors we will have this year, and
there is no apparent need of general
statewide house cleaning except for
the purpose of instilling into the citi-
zens the spirit that such an occasion
arouses. Still, it will be wise to watch
out for any defects that may be found
in our towns and villages, and eradi-
cate them, if it is possible during the
week.
"The State Federation of Woman's
clubs appreciates very much the inter-
est the Portland Chamber of Commerce
and ether such organizations have
taken in boosting cleanup week, Iand
in giving it publicity"
Mrs. Castner states that Oregon fol-
lows California on the Pacific coast in
the observance of a state wide clean
up.
I'VE are glad of these results of our
first years experience in such work, :"
she says, land we shall make an effort
to effectively promote such campaign
each year"
Mrs. George Zimmerman, of Free
mont, Ohio, chairman of the civic COM
mittee of the National Federation of
Woman's clubs, will visit Portland for
the national convention 10 he held in
June. Size has invited Mrs. Castner to
assist her in arranging for program
to be participated in by the chairmen
of state civic committees, looking to-
ward nationwide movement in the
future.

WRITER PRAISES
OREGON EXHIBIT

Ralph j. Stsehli. writing in Sunday 8
Oregonian. has the greatest praise for
the Oregon exhibits at the San Fran
cisco fair. After telling of the fine
displays of agricultural products from
all parts of the commonwealth in the
Oregon buildings, he says:
''The exhibit in the Palace of Horti-
culture is easily seen as are all the
others of the state of Oregon, because
the booth is built of logs. The center
of attraction is an immense Hood Riv-
er apple reproduced in wax and paper.
Inside is the Hood River valley in
miniature. Around this apple are the
exhibits of the state in glass jars.
"The apple seemed to be such an at
traction that the state of Washington
is now working on one about one
eighth as large"
