TWO MONTHS OF LIFE

Leader in Reichstag Tries to Con-

Predicting Foes Overthrow.

COPENHAGEN, June IS, via Lon

more months of life by Herr Won
Heydebrand, conservative leader in the
reichstag. In speech to his electors
he quoted a German admiral as saying:
1--WE hope, yes, we are certain. that
in two months at the most the condi-
ton of the English will be such that
Great Britain will be nn1shed.
Herr Won Heydebrand had asked the
admiral whether he believed Germany
could win a complete victory through
the submarine campaign. The ad-

ruthless submarine warfare.
No Hope Of Separate Peace.
Herr Won Heydebrand also gave warn

victory over Germany's other OPP
ponents. In this connection he said
he himself formerly had cherished this
hope, but that such peace would be
possible only II made with a. goyArn-
ment strong enough to control the sit

consequences of a break between Rus

army of millions had been put into

he was convinced that. owing to the

Railroads To Be Put
On Military Basis

Word comes from New York to the
effect that railroad transportation
will be put upon a military basis for
handling the governments war bust
ness, and the preliminary plans are
being worked out at this time.
William Sproule, president of the
Southern Pacific; c. H. Levey, presi-
dent Of the Western Pacific, and A.
r. Wells of the Santa Fe conferred
on the copy Of plans just received in
New York from Fairfax Harrison
chairman of the national railway
advisory committee of the War De-
partment.
The railroad employees will be or
ganized into regiments of the enlist
ed reserve corps, with division super.
intendents as captains. Foremen
dispatchers, trainmasters, master me.
chanics and maintenance engineers
will become lieutenants. The railway
telephone and telegraph lines prob
ably will be organized under the sig.
nal corps reserve.
One Of the first appointments to
be made on the Pacific coast under
this plan is that of Allen Babcock,
electrical engineering expert of the
Southern Pacific, as major in the en-
gineer corps.

Wilson Advises ...,
No PostpOnenent

President Wilson has announced
that there is no reason for postpon-
ing the National Education conven-
tion to be held at Portland July to
IA, and the railroads have just sent
notice saying that special rates will
not be abandoned for that convention.
The program is to center around
the idea of patriotism and prepared
ness, and the speakers will be some
of the greatest educational thinkers
of the world.
The convention will receive the
first report as to the effects of the
war in France, the first report sub
mitted by a teacher who is now in
France on a special mission for the
president, John c. Finley, president
of the University of New York. Mr..
Finley will return for the N. e. A.
convention. He is now investigating
the schools of France. II is expected
that the report will be of such signifi-
canoe as to warrant every teacher of
the Pacific coast states in attending
the convention.
Great interest is being manifested
in the forthcoming convention in
every portion of the country.
1t is the first time that the Nation
al Education convention has ever
come to the northwest and many
school boards in Oregon, Washington
and Idaho are insisting on every
teacher in their employ arranging to
attend its sessions. Northwest teach
ers will have opportunity of spread
ing the gospel of the northwest"
among thousands of teachers from
the east. The resulting advertising
will be worth millions of dollars to
Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
1t is the opportunity for each teach
er to do his or her stunt" for their
own state.

Canning and Drying
Beans and Rhubarb

Whenever practicable, the house
wife should dry her winter supply
of fruits and vegetables and the fol-
lowing suggestions may be of assist
ance in two very valuable articles of
food that are usually canned.
String beans should be prepared as
for cooking and then dried in the
sun or warming oven. They will
keep nicely all winter and are very
delicious, but they must be soaked
over night before using. BY parboil-
ing the beans before drying, they re-
quire less cooking afterward.
Rhurbarb should be cut into short
pieces and dried in the sun or a
warming oven.
For canning rhurbarb cut into
pieces Y inches long, scald one to
two minutes and cold dip, then pack
tight in sterilized jars. Three pounds
will fill a quart jar. Make a syrup
of one cup Of sugar to one-half cup
of water. This will be sufficient for
one quart, Fill crevices with syrup,
put on cover, partially tighten, and
sterilize 20 minutes.
When rhurbarb, late in the sea-
son, becomes tough and fibrous, the
juice may be extracted for Jelly max

Must Register
Although Exempt

Portland, Ore, May 21.-Every
man between the ages of 21 and 80
years, inclusive, must register on the
day proclaimed by President Wilson
for the war census.
There will be no exceptions to this
rule. Even if man belongs to one
of the exempt classes, he nevertheless
must register If he is between 21 and
80 years of age. The government will
determine who is to be exempt after
its records are complete. .-,
Brigadier General Geo. A. White,
adjutant general of Oregon, working
under the direction of Governor
James Withycombe, has put the ma
chinery to work and his first request
of every man affected by the census
is that he make careful study of its
provisions to eliminate all possible
confusion at the polls. ,-
Registering for the war census
should be no more confusing than
casting a vote. The general plan for
gathering the data for the govern
ment is based on the ballot system.
If every man is ready, war census day
will pass like clockwork.
The man who tries to evade the
provision will face a term in Jail
without the option of paying a fine.
In almost every case throughout the
state the census will be taken in the
regular polling places used on elec-
tion days.

Plenty Of Cars
To Handle Fruit

Pacific Coast fruitgrowers will do
their share in providing for the ma
tons food supply, and there should
he plenty of cars to handle this year, s
crop.
This is the cheering message sent
out by ]. w. McClymonds, vice-presi-
dent and general manager of the
Pacific Fruit Express, and one of the
best posted men in the west on horti-
cultural conditions.
Mr.. McClymonds has just made a
survey Of the situation with the view
OF securing all the equipment neces-
sary to meet the needs of the grow
ers.
The Pacific Fruit Express has 49,
500 of its own cars, and is rushing
the construction of 1900 additional
cars which will be available shortly.
In addition to this number the P.
F. E. people are leasing $500 Armour
cars to meet the emergency.
McClymonds estimates that the
California orange crop will be 10 per
cent more than last year, and the
melon crop In the Imperial valley
will run from 25 to 80 per cent heavi-
er. Turlock melons will be about
the same as last season.
Deciduous tree fruit will be about
the same as last season, but Cali
fornia grapes will be much heavier.
Twenty seven thousand cars of cit
rus fruit have been handled so far
with the indications pointing to all
carriers loading about $4,000 cars.
The P. F. E. is getting ready to
handle the cantedoupe crop OF the
Imperial valley which will start about
May 25. The acreage has been in
creased from 1000 to $4,000. The
P. F. e. expect to handle 5000 cars.
The Turlock canteloupes will follow.
The deciduous fruit movement will
mingle with the southern California
canteloupe crop. The green fruit
crop will probably call for $4,000
cars.

The day Of peace is slowly dawning
Dismal might of war is passing;
Comes the balm of Loves own bless

Discord, strife and greed dissolving
Through the Son of God.
Lust of conflict cools and wanes,
Right, not might, shall take the reins;
Conscience now directs all aims,
Righteousness adjusts all claims,
Justice rules the world.
Wake! We nations of the earth,
To nobler, grand rebirth;
Life and light and harmony,
Peace, goodwill, prosperity,
Through divine humanity.
In unity the nations stand,
can sever nor disband;
Face to face, hand clasping hand,
Lo! the Brotherhood of Man!

Changes In State
Compensation Law
(By authority State Industrial Ac-
cident Commission)

(By authority State Industrial Ac'
cident Commission)
When the amendments made to the
state compensation law by the last
Legislature became effective on May
81, operations carried on by the
state, or by counties, cities, towns
school districts, irrigation districts or
ports and port commissions, may Sc
cure the benefits of the law through
proper application made to the In
dustrial Accident commission. Many
cities and counties have recognized
the value of this application of the
compensation law, Coos county, for
example, having stipulated in making
contracts for road work with private
contractors that all workmen employ
ed should be brought under the pro-
visions OF the law.
Another of the amendments that
should be kept in mind by builders
and logging and numbering operators
is that which makes payments due
the compensation fund by employers
a lien upon real property upon which
the labor was performed, and also
upon sawlogs, spars, piles, ties or
other timber, and upon lumber in
yard where manufactured, labor liens
only having preference over the COM
pensation fund lien. Payments due
the fund are also made preferred
claims in bankruptcy and trustee pro-
ceedings, and in the administration
of estates and receiverships. Misrep-
resentation of payrolls makes the
employer liable for ten times the
amount of the difference between
the actual payroll and the payroll
represented. Interest and penalty
charges are provided for payments
overdue or in default.
The amendments make 1t possible
for individual employers and for
members Of firms under the act to
secure for themselves, through ap-
plication to the commission, the ben
efits of the law should they be in
jured while engaged on the work.
Employers hereafter engaged in
hazardous occupations are required
to file notice with the Industrial Ac-
cident commission within ten days
after commencing work, giving the
nature of the work, and where it is
the desire of the employer to reject
the law, notice must be sent the COM
mission within three days after COM
mencement of the work. The same
period of rejection also applies to
the workmen.

Our hearts is filled with rage.

Well get the man we're after;

Well string him to rafter.
This greazer gent of whom we speak
Is sure a measley scum;
He's such a cowardly, skulkin' sneak
We surely hates him some.
We stakes this greazer to feed
Cause he is out of luck,
And he swipes our sack of hoss feed
And lights out on the buck.

Well surely stretch his neck;
When US he ruminates to vex-
He hits some trouble then, by heck
Whoa! three, Pocahontas. See that

Get your shooter ready, pardner,
Here's where we make a take.
But now this greazer's dead and gone,
Our story has to end.
He's departed down that long, long
trail,
His ways we had to mend.
