So great is American wastefulness
that housewives who really try to
economic can save money, even at
the present high food prices.
Any cook with brains can cut 81,
a year from her bread bill alone and
contribute her share to a possible
great national saving Of $20,000,000.
Continuing the lesson in bread
making which was begun in this pa
per yesterday, Uncle Sam has this to
say about potato bread:
In localities where there is a sur
plus of potatoes or where they are
very cheap, potato bread costs less to
make than aIl-flour bread.
This would prove an excellent way
in which to utilize Gull potatoes.
Even, however, where the relative
market prices of potatoes and flour
are such that there is no economy in
substituting potato for flour, the in
diVidual quality of potato bread make

all come to agree with the cynics
that marriage is the only sure cure
for love.
'''Why not be sensible, then, and
take this cure with our eyes open,
knowing that when the so-called
romance subsidies, its place may be
taken by another group of emotions
equally noble, and if not as exciting,
perhaps more satisfying in the end,
as well as more conducive to the well
fare of ourselves and society,""

of Nazimova came up and rested his

ALLIES To OPPOSE
NEW REVENUE BILL

Washington. Sept. Ga sharp di-
plomatic conflict between the allied
governments and the United States
is expected to follow retaliatory mea-
sures Incorporated in the revenue bill
passed by the senate last night.
With agreement to the amendments
by the honse conference committee
anticipated today, 1t is thought the
allied governments. probably led by
Great Britain. may begin shaping
counter-retaliations
The belief OF many officials, how
ever. is that the conflict will be strict
ly commercial.
II was said on the other hand that
the United States government Is GO
ing into the issue with its eyes open,
and prepared to see 1t through. The
course decided on--legislation tina,
hits directly back at every discrimin.
alton pronounced against American
business interests-grew out oi
thorough consideration by the state
department and other executive de-
partments OF the probable conse
quence, it was declared today.
1t is the hope of the admlnistra
tion. one official said, that the drastic
legislation enacted may result in put
ting an end to the blacklisting policy
OF the British government, the dis
elimination against American com
merce, interference with American
mails and embargoes on American
products.
While diplomats representing al
lied governments here have strongl!
hinted at commercial "reprisals," Of
ficials are inclined to view that sucl
contest is not wanted. This coun
try, they believe, holds the uppe
hand for the present, at least. ant
would undoubtedly be better able {,
endure a condition Of non-intercourse
The effect OF the new Legislation
will depend in large part on the de
gree to which President Wilson
chooses to utilize 1t. Heretofore h

SOME RIGHTS DEFINED.


Certain acts Of lawlessness are
committed by individuals who have
perverted ideas Of the rights of prop
erty owners having a frontage along
river or ocean beach. This has been
one OF the principal reasons for the
differences between fishermen along
the lower river. and many physical
clash or action in the courts has fol-
lowed. The rights OF the other fell
low are not always given due con-
sideration. and trouble naturally fol-
lows. The courts Of Curry county
have recently been employed in ad-
Indicating the affairs of the rival fish
ing companies at the mouth Of the
Rogue. The head OF the company that
is most firmly entrenched caused the
arrest of the head Of the other COM
pany and 70 OF its employees. Judge
Coke was presiding Judge, and his de-
cision just handed down makes clear
the rights of owners Of property hav-
ing a river or beach frontage. Those
points dealing with rights OF in
dividuals along the river are of pc.
culiar interest all along the stream
as they are as applicable one place
as another. Included in Judge Coke's
decision were the following finding:
with reference to the point at issue:
''The right to fish for salmon In
Rogue river is right in common
given to all citizens Of the state. but
such fishing operations must of course
be carried on and conducted with du,
regard by one fisherman OF the right
Of others. While the right Of naviga
ton and right OF fishery within Rogu,
river are rights common to all
neither the right of navigation no
the right of fishery carries with
the right to trespass upon the land
Of the plaintiff or any other owner o
lands along the river. Nor does tn
right Of navigation or of fishery carr
with it the right OF malicious inter
ference by one person with the right
Of another.
1.-The right Of navigation is superio
to the right Of fishery, and the rule
the same with reference to navigs
ton as it is with the right Of fisher!
SO far as each navigator or person bt
ing required to respect the rights {
the other. No person Is permitted
maliciously interfere or annoy al
other in the right of navigation. Th
rights Of the plaintiff and those Of tn
defendants are identical"
Referring to the tidelands, the d.
cision says that the "tidelands are
no sense public highway and al
subject only to the right of navig
tion and the right of fishery; bl
those rights do not extend to Il
landing OF boats and the trespasslr
OF persons upon the lands above Il
waters of the river. Such trespasse
would become liable criminally ar
civilly in such acts"
The decision enjoins the defendan
from trespassing upon the lands
the plaintiff along the river.
