AFTER THE WAR IS OVER.

Every time an editor decides that he will give the read
er rest so far as the war is concerned something big
breaks or something pertinent to discuss arises some
body with good thinking head on his shoulders says
something that ought to be quoted remarks the Dayton
(Ohio) News. There is simply getting away from the
war; nor from discussion of it, 1t is the biggest thing
that ever happened the biggest thing that ever will
happen and there escaping it. its effects nor its
results
So when we run upon little preachment from man
like President Hbben of Princeton bit Of philosophy
from the great man. we are going to use it. For what
choicer thing has from the lips of man during this
awful struggle or what thoughtful one than this
after this is completed there must come period
of reconstruction not merely reconstruction of material
resources but of the fundamental ideas and purposes of
life Our part must necessarily be large one; for
must lend our strength to the nations weakened by the
ravages of In Europe the continuity of civilization
for the time being has been Interrupted In America how
ever all the forces of civilization which make for peace
and prosperity have been maintained unbroken and un
diminished We hold in hands the threads of the past
and of the future not of them is broken There is
therefore peculiar obligation resting upon us to con-
these treasers Of human creation which make for
peace righteousness and the welfare of mankind After
these days of dissolution have passed there need of
heaven and new earth"

POTATO BULLETIN Is
READY FOR GROWERS
German Success Is Explained and Ore
gon Farmers Are Advised to Try
More Cooperative Methods

A bulletin that makes suggestions to
Oregon farmers about marketing their
potatoes more successfully has just
been issued by the University Of Ore.
gon school of commerce. Cooperation
among growers is advised as one means
of bettering conditions that often in
recent potato years have been none too
good for the producer.
The facts in the bulletin have been
gathered from all over the world and
make up broad survey Of the potato
industry, United States stands third
from the bottom in yield per acre;
Belgium produces 200 bushels more an
acre than this country; Germany do-
bios the American yield per acre; Ger.
many, VITA n total area less than that
of Texas, plants about 100000 more
acres than the entire United States.
The bulletin calls attention to heavy
impoetations by the United States from
abroad. Low cost of fertilizers, ro-
tation of crops and low wages in Ger.
many are partly responsible for Ger.
man success.
The question Of competition is taken
up, and it is SHOWN that Bermuda po.
tatoas, for instance, bring an average
Of 9l.l4 a bushel, whereas Oregon s
average price is 5S cents 1t is shown
that Japan has driven the United
States out of the potato supplying mar

Fame sometimes travels fast and far. In newspaper
printed in the interior Of faroff Ohio noticed the fol-
lowing editorial few days ago: The governor of t1e
state of Oregon appointed Miss Kathryn Clarke state
but the State senators had the privilege Of accepting
or rejecting her and they rejected It was necessary to
hold an election and at that the people said they wanted
Miss Clarke no matter what the senators might think
After some weeks serving the position she says: am
free to say that there is nothing in awmang that any
woman of ordinary intellect cannot easily comprehend and
be able to vote nteigenty upon also that not
the only takers That ought to hold the Oregon senators
and the opponents of suffrage from further un
complimentary remark"
