There was a great czar In Berlin
Whose subjects were allAyrowing thin.
In good English he said,
"Bally winter l dread
Because We have nothing to TIM
The young folks of Lakewood. N. J.,
Said: I'VE will make gardening pay.
Wen stick to the work,
We won't dodge it or shirk,
For this isn't work-this Is play"
A maiden who lived in St Joe
Wrote east to her Washington beau,
Il can't be there in June,
1t is really too soon,
For I'm busy with dads westward hoe"
A charming young bud named Marie
Wrote to Mrs. Won Stuyvesant Lee,
I'm begging your pardon,
But I'm working my garden
And can't get away for your tea
Said Miss Gladys Clarissa McTanner:
I've abandoned my player pianner.
Art is all very good,
But it won't supply food,
So I'm playing my tunes on, my Gamer"
Mrs. Sadleigh has given up signing
AT the cost of the food she's been buying,
For she's got 'em all beat
On the good things to eat
Since she's taken to canning and drying.
High diddle diddle this life is a riddle,
For prices have jumped Ger the moon,
But plant a food garden on some vacant
lot
And prices whl tumble down soon.
Rock-a-by baby in the tree top,
Father is hoeing his home garden crop
Soon he will harvest enough for US all
And high cost of living will have a bad
fall.
If old Mother Hubbard should go to the
cupboard
She'd find all the food she'd desire,
For stored away there Is foodstuff to
spare,
The product of Gamer and drier.
Old King Food In his merriest mood
Set a-watching his garden plot
He counted his beets, and he reckoned his
beans
And he said: '"win we starve? We will
not"
Mary, Mary, no longer contrary,
Has made a home garden grow
With turnips and beans to feed the ma
rines
And the soldiers and sailors, you know.
President Pack, come blow our horn,
Our allies are calling for wheat and corn.
Of 10
squash
And we'll feed the whole world with our
food. by gosh!
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, bakers man,
Look at the things we're going to can.
Can 'em and dry 'em and store 'em away
to give us our food for the cold winters
day.
Dickery, dickery, dock,
The back yards in our block
Are full enough of garden stuff
Our pantry shelves to stock.
"a dollar. a dollar, ten o'clock scholar,
Why do you come so late?"
I've stayed at home to dig the weeds.
This gardening stunt is great"
Taffy was Welshman, Taffy was thief,
Iatfy will not work. SO he must come to
grief.
The neighbors planted seeds in their yards
and vacant lots
And spent the summer raising things on
thrifty garden plots.
They're canning em and drying 'em and
storing 'em away.
If Taffy cannot steal 'em he'll have gro
GERS bills to pay.
There was an old man and he had a wood
en- leg
And he couldn't steal a ride not a ride
could he beg,
So he bought back yard and he planted
some beans
And raised enough cash to buy a dozen
machines.

in the face of existing conditions the
Federal Reserve Bank was advised
that additional subscriptions were held
in allegiance until fruit growers would
receive an assurance that their prod
ucts would not be sacrificed. 1t was
explained that local citizens did not
lack in patriotism, as statistics showed
that subscriptions for Hood River
county had already reached $4 per cap
ita, but that the action resulted be-
cause growers of apples in the face of
possible disaster felt that they would
not be able to buy bonds.
Friday local bond subscriptions were
ging ahead with even greater inter-
est.than formerly prevailed. Replying
to telegram from A. l.. Mills, head
of committee of Portland bankers
engaged in waging campaign for the
Liberty loan, local banks wired Mr..
Mills that they would participate to
the limit of their ability in the loans.
1t was suggested by local bankers that
a certain specified allotment of the
bonds should be made to all Oregon
communities.
II. F. Davidson declares that he be-
lieves that apples and other fruits will
be classed as foods, and that the war
situation will not cause the distribu-
tion of apples to be initiated against.
81 believe the situation has been
viewed by many" says Mr.. Davidson,
with undue alarm. After one has
seen the prominence that fruit plays in
the big markets of all cities, it is i'm
possible to conceive of the government
putting an end to the distribution of
it. 1t is now admitted by all food Geo.
nomists that fruit is just as much
needed in the diet of the nation as the
articles of staple food. The govern
ment should come to this realization
and provide for apples or other fruit as
part of the rationing of soldiers.

ABSENTEES SHOULD
REGISTER AT ONCE

Men between the ages of 21 and 80
years, inclusive, who expect to be alb
sent from their home precinct on War
Census day, which is June 5, should
register without delay.
Register today, if you can. If that
is impr acticable, do it tomorrow. In
any event, register at the very earliest
moment for delay may make you liable
to term of Imprisonment without the
alternative of paying fine. Absence
is not accepted as an excuse for failure
to register.
The procedure for registration of
absentees is quite simple and should
cause no confusion.
The absentee, or prospective absen-
tee, must apply at the office of the
county clerk of the county in which he
may happen to be at the time, whether
in Oregon or elsewhere. The clerk
will fill out his registration card. In
cities of 10000 or more, apply to the
city clerk, who in Portland is the city
auditor.
The clerk, or his deputy, will give
the applicant this card, which he must
mail to the registrar of his home pre-
cinct, in care of the sheriff of his
home county, in time to reach the reg
istrar by War Census day, June 5.
If the absentee lives in Portland, or
in city of over 10000 population in
another state, he should mail the card
to the registrar of his home precinct
in care of the mayor.
If, as frequently is the case, he can
not remember the number or name of
his home precinct. he should address
the card to the sheriff of his home
county, and write and fill in on the en-
velope so addressed the following:
Registration card of ................
Street and number. r.............''' ''''
Post Office of r. F. D....,........
1t is of the utmost Importance that
the absentee remember that the bur-
den of having his card reach the regis
trar of his home precinct by War Cen
sus day is on him, not on the authori-
ties. Hence, the necessity of register
ing early.
Again flet it be emphasized that if
you expect to be absent from your
home precinct on War Census day, go
at once to the county clerk of the
county in which you happen to be,
whether your home county or another
one, and register. Do..it now!

"From four years of nervousness

able step writes Mr.. B. S. Lathem, a

"But I am here to bear witness, to
the marvellous curative power of Sui

"For four years have scarcely

any work, but now thanks to Sui
ferro-Sol, of which have taken three
bottles, am able to do a hard days
work every day. Until just recently
as hardly able to even write. Sui

Capitalizing Boil Weevil.

Right from the very heart of the
boil weevil district in Alabama
where, upon the appearance of the
pest three years ago the farmers
threw up their hands in despair
comes letter from the leading bank
of Enterprise, Ala, to Gov. McCord
IF the Federal reserve bank at At
anita showing that the conditions in
;hat section today are better than
ever before, and that the farmers of
that locality have got away from the
,ll-cotton system for good, regardless
Of the weevil pest.
"The~ deposits Of this bank" says
The correspondent "have increased
more than 40 per cent. within the
asst IL months, collections have been
much better, conditions generally
nave been very satisfactory, even
though this is our third year with the
weevil; and I attribute it all to diver
sification."
In other words, by the application
Of brains and modern, progressive
farming methods diversifcation
The raising of foodstuffs and livestock
the farmers of weevil-scourped
southeastern Alabama have not only
beaten the pest, but have converted
It's advent into an absolute blessing.
The banks statement to Mr.. Nc.
Cord together with a statement of the
means by which those farmers and
that community have brought to high
II state of prosperity and to a soldier
footing than ever in the past, appears
Elsewhere upon this page; and should
De read and needed by every farmer
in the South.
This, because therein is cpitomized
the rgeat rural hope of the South;
therein is shown the way through
@ni beyond the weevil meance to
prosperity and thrift. And what has
been done in Alabama .an be and is
oeing done in Georgia.
Once his system of farmine-is put
INTO general application-th raising
OF some cotton, together with corn,
peas, soy beans, peanuts, pork, beef,
outter and eggs, etc-there will be
no WeeVil menace; it will have disaD.
peared.
And the South will be better off for
"t having come and taught it's lesson.

'of what cars there are; hot boxes on
both passenger and freight cars are
everyday occurrences. The engines
have now to draw such heavy loads
that they are going to pieces faster
than they used to.
Feed and fodder conditions for Ger
man live stock improved somewhat
through last years harvests, but only
somewhat. The cattle are still thin
and scraggly. The milch cattle give
less than ever and there is little milk
that can be spared for cheese. The
cattle, when slaughtered, give less
neat than they used to, and so horse

legree that is unprecedented.
The available supply of swine has
never recovered from the original
German mistake of 1914 and 1915,
when millions of pigs were slaughter
ed to save the food that they devour-
ed, only thereby reducing the supply
of fat to dangerous point. The
Germans have never forgiven them
selves for that short-sightedncss.
The same in measure holds true
Of sugar. There had been an over
supply in 1914, and solemn warnings
went out not to plant so much land
to sugar beets, and more to grain.
The peasantry followed the advice too
literally, and Germany awoke to find
that she had hardly more than enough
sugar for purposes other than food.
So the big cities are in part living

enough of that.
