FREDERICK FUNSTON

The death of that heroic figure.
Major General Frederick Funston.
brings sorrow to the hearts of the
American people. Funston was a
man Of the people. unpampered and
unspoiled, who broke down the ira
ditions Of the military service and
rose to heights of prominence in the
line Of duty. He lacked the train
ing considered essential for the COM
manding officer. but what ne facked
Of West Point drill he made up in
ability and genius of a quality that
made him marked for rapid promo
tion. He died at the comparatively
youthful age of 81, when the mil
itary commander is supposed to be
In the best OF his career.
Frederick Funston became a ma
tional figure when details of his spec
tacular capture OF Aguinaldo were
given to the public. From that day
he was a factor in the military de-
velopment Of the country. and at the
close Of the Philippine campaign con-
tinued in the regular service. His
administration Of affairs at the oc-
cupation Of Vera Cruz. and ;urt re-
Gently his command Of the border
patrol, proved his ability not only as
q fighting man. but also as ram-
paign organizer and executive. Had
Funston been permitted to lire the
allotted period Of years. he no doubt
would have reached the pinnacle OF
military achievement. Stricken In his
prime, he is. nevertheless, OF the
heroic characters OF the nation.

WOULD PUT YOUNG
MEN TO WORK ON FARM

New York, Feb. a0.--Mobilize the
young men Of America for work on
the farms during the coming summer.
II necessary to meet the needs OF New
York and combat the rapidly soaring
food prices-dig up Central park and
make 1t huge garden.
These we're the suggestions OF Mrs.
Julian Heath. head OF the National
Housewives league. today. With the
serious situation brought sharply 70
the fore by food riots in tenement dis
tricts here yesterday. Mrs. Heath de-
clared every effort to meet the pre-
vailing food conditions was now pat
riotic duty.
Every young man in America
seeking summer employment should
go to the farms. Just as some are
enlisting In the militia. as a matter
OF patriotism" said Mrs. Heath. in
an interview with the United Press
today.
Il am preparing an appeal to the
colleges OF the country. urging that
college students. especially, volun-
teer for farm service. One OF the
causes OF the food shortage and high
prices is said to be lack OF farm la
Dor and consequent sub-normal pro-
duction. II that is the case. We
should see that the farmer is given
assistance. When the entire country
is in the grip OF food situation such
as now prevails. work on the farms
would be patriotic service.
''If. through movement such as
this, adequate labor is furnished,
then the government should see that
transportation facilities are furn.
ished, and that the marketing OF pro-
ducts is made possible at reasonable
prices.
III there Is no other relief from
a situation that makes a dollar worth
only % cents when IL comes to buy
Ing food, why not dig up Central
park and produce foodstuffs there for
the city? II there is a corner, such
cooperation would bring prices down
and II the shortage Is real, the ef.
feet would more than Justify itself"

PROTECT ROGUE RIVER FISHING

With the new measures enacted BY
the recent legislature for the regu-
lation Of fishing in Rogue river. con-
ditions should be much improved up
on the upper portions OF the stream
for both the sport fisherman and the
man who fishes for profit. The
sportsman has been well cared Tor
by the legislation covering the Rogue.
In no other stream in Oregon is the
steelhead maintained for the sport
fisherman alone. Here the steelhead
Is classed as a trout, and sale Is not
permitted, doing away entirely with
its classification upon the commercial
side Of the ledger. But with the ex-
tending Of the salmon netting season,
and the elimination OF the set nets
and seines In the lower river, the
commercial fisherman here will find
cause for rejoicing 80 that taken all
around the fishermen have no COM
plant coming.
Every fisherman, sport or CONNER
cial, should put forth his best effort
TO see that there are no violations
OF the fishing regulations along the
river. And not all the violations
can be charged to the commercial
fishermen There Is a limit to the
catch, both as regards number and
aggregate weight, and the angler
should keep this in mind. There is
temptation to keep on fishing these
few days when catches OF steelheads
with bait are possible Better stop
a few pounds short OF the limit.
Keep the catch down during the
months Of February and March. for
every spawning fish DESTROYED re-
moves the possibility Of hundreds OF
fry in the stream next year.
