He took for his text:
The Time Is Short-I Cor. 7-29

The pastor said that when al strong
man dies we realize the text; when q
strong and good man goes we realize il
more. The realization of the truthful
ness of the text depends ons thes stand
point as to time. Then, also, thesshort-
ness of life is found in its fullness. To
know the time is short will make us
choose our own. Our emotions take a
larger form and life deepens our feeling
toward our fellow men.

Find Substitute for
Cotton and Wool

Spinners and weavers of Germany
claim that they have found in their
own country satisfactory and mex
pensive substitute for cotton, wool
and jute-products which they now
can obtain only with great difficulty
because cf the war. The plant is
called the typha and is a sort OF cat
tail that grows extensively in marsh
es. This years crop is estimated at
between 100000 and 100000
tons. The yield of the finished prod
uct is ten per cent of the raw prodt
uct. Samples of cloth made from this
material are said to show that it is
suited to making a large variety of
fabrics. Leading German merchants,
spinners and bankers have subscribed
capital for the manufacture of the
new cloth. They call attention to the
fact that Napoleon's embargo on su-
gar resulted in developing their great
beet sugar industry, and predict that
a similar development will take place
in the cloth industry. One point in
favor of the typha is that it can be
grown on land not needed for culti-
waiting their crops and it can be har-
vested from June until frost.-Dec.

Many Cattlemen
Raising Sheep

District Forester George H. Cecil,
Portland, Oregon, says that large
number of cattle permittees who are
using the national forest ranges of
Oregon and Washington are now
grazing on their ranches small bands
of from twenty to 800 or 400 sheep,
which are considered valuable for
furnishing mutton, cleaning up weeds
and adding to the income of the
ranch.
This is quite concession for the
cattlemen to make, according to Mr..
Cecil, but it is interesting in that it
indicates the coming of more di-
versified system of management on
the interior ranches as we'll as being
factor in keeping up the supply of
sheep already considerably decreased
by the homesteading of much of the
public range.

Cate Ulges Going
To Farmers Week

why not attend Farmers Week,
o. A. CT" says County Pathologist
c. C. Cate.
Several farmers and fruitgrowers
have already decided to attend the
Farmers and Homemakers week at
Corvallis, January 2-6, and arrange
ments are being made to accommo-
date those who attend from this
county by securing a special tourist
car containing thirty-one beds for $50
per day, including parkage and por-
ter. Arrangements have been made
for eats at the Waldo Hall for those
who take advantage of the special
car for S5 cents per day; breakfast
25 cents, lunch 25 cents, dinner 35
cents. This makes a lodging and
board rate of $1.S5 per day providing
we can get thirty-one people to make
up the special car. There will be no
entrance fee at the college. Railroad
fare will be one and third on the
certificate plan. The round trip
would cost from Rogue River, 1855;
Gold Hill, $3.50; Central Point,
$10.35; Medford, $1,000; Ashlands
$1O.95.
"By gong in body we can thus
get cheaper rates and have the pleas
'ure of staying with our own crowd
in our own private car, and perhaps
get the advantage of side excursions
to such places as the union stock
yards at Portland. Prominent farm
ers and fruitgrowers from all over
the state will be in attendance and
will discuss questions pertaining to
the growing and marketing of fruit,
livestock, grains and vegetables; also
men of national reputation will be
there. / would also like specially to
urge fruit growers who are deeply in
terested in pruning to maze a special
effort to attend, as the college has
made several demonstrations in re-
gard to pruning and the trees are now
in varying ages, and practical les
son could be learned by seeing these
tracts and having the different sys-
TENS explained.

Costly To Let
Loaded Cars Stand

An order prescribing demurrage
and reciprocal demurrage rates, and
also rules relating to other phases of
transportation, was issued last week
by the public service commission, and
it is believed that it will have the eff
feet of eXpediting the transportation
of intrastate freight The order is
effective January |, 1917.
Probably the two most important
regulations fixed by the order are
rules Nos. Z and 8, the former in
creasing the present So day de-
murrage charge and the latter alter
ing the old rule relating to average
agreements.
The order allows As hours of free
time for loading and unloading of all
commodities, and "a hours of free
time for cars held for switching Or
ders, reconsignment or reshipment,
for surrender of bills of lading, etc.
After the expiration of the free time
the following demurrage charges will
be made under rule No. Z: Two dol
lars per car for first day. SO for sec
ond and s4 for third and each sue
ceeding day.
Under the rule covering average
agreements it is provided that two
credits shall be allowed for each car
released within the first "a hours of
free time, and two debts will be
charged for the first "a hours that
a car is detained beyond the free
time. three debts for the second "a
hour period and four debts after the
third 24-hour period. When car
has accrued nine debts, no addition
al debts will accrue, but charge of
81 for each day will be made.
When cars are applied for and are
not furnished within the time speci-
fled in the rules, the railroad failing
shall be held to be Immediately in
debted to the person making applica-
tion in the sum of 50 for the first "a
hours, SO for the second 24-hour pc
riod and $4 for the third and each
succeeding 24-hour period. Besides
the railroad company is to be liable
for such damages as the applicant for
cars received.

negotiate directly with the French
inventors, but found that the Ameri-
can rights to their device had al
ready been disposed of to w. B. Hurd
and that the purchaser was on boat
en- route for New York.
With characteristic showman's en-
terprise Fynes met Hurd at the dock,
a demonstration of the "cinemato-
graph" was arranged for, and imme-
diately following it a contract en-
tered into whereby the device was to
become a regular feature on the
Keith bills, with a stipend of $3.50
per week for each house in which it
was shown.
Almost Immediately motion pic
lures became an attraction in prac-
tically all of the vaudeville houses
of this country. Here, as in London,
they we're at first considered in the
light of novelty with drawing
power of but limited duration. Just
how long they would draw was
prime consideration over which the
booking manager troubled his head
when arranging the terms of his con-
tract.
But, although the subjects filmed
were still very short and with moth
ing of plot interest-being usually
military maneuvers and such-the so
called craze with which they had
been received appeared to increase
rather than otherwise. To Robert
Grau's book, THE Theatre of Sci

alton that, upon the installation OF
pictures at about this time, the Union
Square theatre, New York city, in
creased its gross receipts from $4,000

BY CARL -SANDBURG
We are going to hang BoPp. We,
the people of the state of Illinois, are
going to put rope around the neck
of Bopp and swing him in empty air
till he chokes to death.
BOpp is young man with the
active body of a good ballplayer. He
would have made a good soldier or a
good workman or a good something
brother somewhere.
But he killed a policeman, BOpp
did. He shot Motorcycle Policeman
Herman Malow in Oak Park. And
jury yesterday said "a life for life
let Bopp hang"
Lots of good people say: "The
jury did right; let Bopp hang; any
man that kills another man ought to
be hanged as warning"
All right Maybe so. Maybe so.
Maybe it will stop murder to hang
murderers. And maybe it won't.
We used to hang men for stealing,
and hanging didn't stop stealing.
We used to throw people into jail
for debt. When a man wouldn't pay
his rent or his grocery bill he went
behind the bars. Now we have laws
against Imprisonment for debt and
laws against the death penalty for
theft.
But we are still hanging murderers
under the theory that the more muir
deners We hang the fewer murders
there will be.
Bopp knew all about the car barn
bandits being hanged for murder and
Bopp never thought of it that night
in Oak Park last June when he shot
Policeman Malow. Bopp knew all
about Harry Spencer, the Chicago
crook hanged at Wheaton for the
murder of Mildred Rexroat, the
tango teacher. Bopp, with his finger
on the trigger last June, knew that
murderers sometimes get hanged

Chicago and go free?
Sitting in the same seat in the
motor car from which Bopp shot
the Oak Park policeman was Frank
McErlane, a pal of Teddy Webb and
a strikebreaker and gunman in the
service of the Chicago Newspaper
Publishers assn during the press
mems lockout of 1912. Webb, Nc
Erlane and Bopp, along with the Bar
retts and Mastersons, during the
newspaper lockout saw three union =
men shot and killed and nobody ever
hanged for it. They saw man after
man stabbed and the police did MOTH
ing. They learned there are condi-
tons under which tits safe to shoot
and kill.
Today stTikebreakers are being
shipped out of Chicago for the New
York street car strike. And shoot
ings and killings have started in New
York.
Life is cheap. In war between cap
ital and labor neither side holds sa-
cred the human life enlisted in the
service of the other side. And Meth
en- capital nor labor hold sacred any
laws that threaten their Side.
After every big strike follows one
crime after another, year on year,
committed, by sluggers and gunner
trained in violence, trained for quick
trigger-work and a quick getaway
in the strikebreaking schools Of
modern indUstriahsm.
Young men being shipped from
Chicago today for service in the
New York strike will learn new tricks
on how to shoot and get away with
it.
Whatever we do, while Bopp is
getting ready for the necktie a hang
man will fasten on him, let us not kid
ourselves with the delusion that the
state of Illinois by numbering the
Murderer BOpD will lessen murder in
