The United States weather bureau takes the trouble
to tell farmers that the phase of the moon has nothing to
do with the growing of crops. This is a pure waste of
alleged information; for those who plant Sin the moon,
faith in Ayers, his almanack, or Jaynes, hisn. They
know that root crops should be planted in the dark of the
moon, especially potatoes because they have so many
eyes; and that vegetables such as beans and peas should
be planted when the moon is new so as to increase with
it. Since the weather bureau expert says the moon has
not a particle of effect on vegetation, why go to the
trouble to upset a firmly established faith, that if it does
no good admittedly does no harm?

80 Editorial Page of The Capital Journal -

The Oregon Journal, Wednesday, had a rather idyllic
editorial on the Pumpkin 1t was a pretty picture in
the perspective but just why the editor described the
"punks" as lying on their spherical faces is not easily un-
derstood. In the first place no well conducted pumpkin
would choose that part of its system to lie on. Then too
it is extremely doubtful if the pumpkin has a face other
than the one the small boy makes on it along about
nothing of heads and tails and is deficient in countenance
but down in its hold it contains some real cause for
thanksgiving among epicures.

The fisherman who takes the royal chinook from the
Columbia gets four cents a pound for his catch. The con-
sumner has been paying 20 cents and is now cheered along
with the statement that he will get his quota of salmon
hereafter for Is cents a pound. An increase of 275 per
cent in the value of fish from the catcher to the consumer
looks as though the limits of profit had been passed and
the realms of larceny invaded. 1t would seem that the
country's greatest need just now is a food controller to
control the food controller and get some kind of control
over prices. Maybe by having enough controllers OF the
other controllers something could be accomplished in the
way of getting lower prices actually as well as on paper.

AUTOS SOLVING TRAVEL ISSUES
 FUR MANY FOLK

"The automobile is soon to have the chance of its life time to demonstrate it's utility and forever put an end to the question as to whether it is a nec- essity. And it is going to make good" Such is the opinion of w. F. Ferguson of the Ferguson Keeler company local dealers in Oldsmobiles Tt is all coming about in a most ex- ceptiOnal and unexpected manner and the wind up is going to immeasur- ably increase the reliance and depend ence that is being placed on the au- tomobile more and more every day"
 The instructions recently issued bv the special war board in control of the operations of railroads in the United States while on a war basis, orders a general reduction of train service that equipment may be avail able for war purposes. The railroads are told to consolidate through trains, reduce the number of trains, (both freight and passenger), especially on branch Hnes and to use mixed trains for freight and passengers where possible.
 While there will no doubt be a gen. eral curtaiiment of passenger service, patrons of the main or trunk lines will find plenty of other through trains available to carry them anywhere and without great loss of time; but on the branch lines and on the non com petitive lines where facilities are all ways held down to the minimum, it is going to work a real inconvenience and possible hardship. Spurred on by grim necessity, travellers and particularly travelling salesmen are going to work out some solution and that solution is going to be the automobile More and more will it be relied on for transpor- tation and it will be pressed into ser vice for much greater distances than In the past. Moreover. I expect to see a greatly increased number of salesmen using them for all their travelling.
 For the same reason the motor truck is going to do it's bit and we can expect to see regularly established au- tomobile truck service for one hundred miles or more in various directions from most distributing centers.
 It all means that automobiles and trucks are going to be in greater de mand than ever, and as soon as busi- ness readjusts itself to new conditions and we begin to feel the effects of the billion dollar expenditure to be made for war purposes, we are going to see such a demand for automobiles and trucks as was never known before"

Alkali Makes Soap
