make a good corn crop at the same
time.
He says he has tried the plan and
that it works we'll both for corn ard

NO REWARD TO BE GIVEN.

The Government has offered DO re. ward to the discoverer of deposits of soluble potash. When it is realized that soluble potash is now selling in the United States for ten times the price asked for it before the outbreak of the European war, and that no more than one-twentieth. of the amount commonly used before the war is now produced in this country, it will be seen that the Government has no need to offer a re ward. The discoverey of commercial amounts of soluble potash is it's own reward.

FURNISH MOST OF SULPHUR.


 More than 98 per cent of the native sulphur now produced in the United States comes from deposits in Louisiana and Texas, according to Philip s. Smith, of the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, but deposits of sulphur that have been or might be productive occur in Wyo- ming, Nevada, Utah, California, Colorado, Oregon, and Alaska.
 Louisiana and Texas apparently pro. duce enough sulphur to supply even an extraordinary demand, for the com. bined output of these two States, al. though the production 1ras not been vigorously pushed, has so greatly ex' ceeded the amount sold that large stocks of sulphur have been accumu. lated.

Commercial Club
Turns Down Celebration

Going to the expense of spending
monev to hold a Fourth of July eele-
bration did not look good to the board
of directors Of the Cmmercial club and
for this reason at the meeting held last
night, they decided not to vote any Of
the Commercial club money for any
such purpose. Unless some other means
of celebrating the glorious Fourth be
made, the citizens Of Salem will take
their national holiday as quietly as
those living way down south where
firecrackers and patriotic enthusiasm
break out only during the Christmas
holidays.
However, in order that the citizens
may be fully informed as to the three
amendments to be voted on July 8, the
directors arranged for a joint debate
to take place next Tuesday evening at
the armory between T. B. Kay and

The Calf Slaughter.
Editor Capital Journal: Allow me
space in your valuable paper in regard
to one of the greatest extravagances
and waste of our country. 1t is 60
ing on daily and as have said years
ago, why don t we take the matter up
and see that it is stopped and enforce
the law Of the killing of newly born
calves, on farms, at dairys and near
ly all places where there are few
cows. / myself spoke to one old gen.
tleman sometime ago in visiting his
farm and looking at his cattle. l said;
have you had any fresh cows this
springG Oh, yes, had four. 1 asked to
let me show the calves to my boy. He
said: ooh, I knocked them in the
head right away and fed them to the
hogs" I said; why, uncle you have
lost ell the clear profit on those cows
for whole year, at which he seemed
surprised. Another man said he got
a young calf given to him to get it out
of the way, but he killed it only for
the hide and fed the flesh to his hogs.
Just think of the little innocent things
anu uuW uSe1ul tNtlyOu VI tuCu al q
in producing food for our country.
Many cows are killed just before they
freshen which I think is really a
crime, and think it is high time it
should be looked into and no COW be
killed after three months of being
bred or no more calves slaughtered at
birth or under six weeks old, so that
they are then fit for food. If this
awful inhumane slaughter was stop
ped there would be plenty of cattle
and beef and help stop the high price
of all meats. The working man of to-
day can hardly afford his just allow
ance of meat on account of the high
price which is all uncalled for. The
products of the COW is half of the Niv-
ing and is seen ON every table in the
land such as meat, milk, cream, butter
and cheese. Besides the use of milk
that goes towards raising other young
things of nearly every kind and above
all the babies. So let's put stop to
this terrible waste and enforce the law
that it cannot be done. Think of calf
being killed if allowed to live one year
the many people it would feed; yes
even at six weeks old; and think of
the hundreds and thousands that die
on the ranges and middle states of
starvation every year. Now let's wake
up and stop this terrible sin and waste.
There is someone who will take a
young calf and raise it any time Ask
the Journal.

Meeting at Dallas
One of the most enthusiastic Red
Cross meetings held in the organiza-
tion of an auxiliary was the one at Dal-
las Commercial club were filled with
women and men interested in the work
and who had formed about a week ago
a preliminary organization.
DR.. Starbuck, as chairman of the Red
Cross movement presided Dr.. R. Z. Lee
Steiner in a short talk expressed his
pleasure in addressing the Dallas peo-
pie and predicted that before the end
of the year, the Dallas auxiharies
would have done as much or more than
any town of its size in the country.
/. Rev. Robert s. Gill said the great
majority of people were willing to do
some patriotic acts and that the Red
Cross would give them an outlet How
ever, he thought the American people
were slow in coming to the front with
their patriotism and that the average
American was willing for some one else
to worry and to also do the work.
The financial side of the Red Cross
work was presented by Henry W. Mey-
ers and also the amount of work that
would be required of the auxiliaries.
During the six weeks of the work at
Willamette chapter, 6362 yards of ma
terials had been used and Mr.. Meyers
thought this was just the beginning
Frank Davey spoke of the war fund
and what would be required of Ameri
ca. To illustrate that America had done
but little for the starving Belgians, he
said that the war had lasted 1894 days
and America s entire contributions
would feed them for only 45 days.
Mrs. Lawrence T. Harris told of the
educational work of the Red Cross as
sisted by Mrs. Henry W. Meyers dress
ed in the uniform OF Red Cross work
er, told of the many things an auxiliary
could make. Mrs. E. E. Fisher spoke of
the work for the membership commit
tee and told of the great necessity and
need of hospital supplies.
DR.. Starbuek announced the follow
ing committees to begin the work of en-
listing all of Dallas in the Red Cross
committee: Mrs. c. H. Ea-
kin, Mrs. Z. w. Fuller, Mrs W. V. Full
Ter, Mrs. j. r. Ollgood and Mrs. Winnie
Braden. Press committee: Mrs. Boyd
and Mrs. Winnie Braden. Supply com
mittee: Mrs. H. A. Woods, Mrs. Steel
quest and Mrs. r. L. Chapman. Ways
and means: Mrs. c. Stafrin, Mrs. S. B.
Taylor, Mrs. John Orr, Mrs. c. Dunn
and Mrs. C. L. Cryder.
Besides the Red Cross work, the even
ing's program included several musical
numbers. Miss Ada Miller sang 'Lest
We Forget, - responding to an enthusi-
astic encore with columbia. - George
c. L. Snyder sang to solos and the Dal-
las chorus, under the direction of d.

The removal of this hazard has been

"A WOMAN READER.
is THIS THE LAST WARP

Is the great conflict now going on in
Europe the "Battle Of Armageddon "
we sometimes hear aboutq
This writer's opinion is that it is
not.
"Armageddon" is a Hebrew word
and occurs but once in the Bible-in
Revelations 1916. "The battle of that
great day of God Almighty in v IA is
doubtless that of Armageddon. This
conflict is probably referred to in
places in the Old Testament notably in
the book of Joel, chapter three.
"The valley of Jehoshaphat" in
verse two, is north and east of Jerusa
lem and Mount Megiddo located there
or near by is said to suggest the word
Armageddon. The events of this chap
ter-Joel three-appear not to have
been fulfilled in the past and are yet
future.
BY referring to Rev. 16, it will be
seen that the great "battle' is to take
place during the time of the seven last
plagues'' and under the sixth of the
seven. See verses IL and l6. During
this time Turkey is to be "dried up, y
the "great river Euphrates" of Y. 12.
This river is in Asiatic Turkey and
still bears that name. l believe these
plaques seven in all, are yet future and
are or will be as literal as those which
fell on Egypt 5000 years ago. 1t is
certain on this view they are not histor-
ieal. So the present "great battle"
across the ocean is not Armageddon. 1t
may be said the book of Revelations is
symbolieal and thus is obscure. Yes the
book abounds in symbols, but it is a
" revelation, in it things are revealed
or uncovered. It is also "the revelation
of Jesus Christ" Chapter l, verse l,
and blessing is promised those who
"read'' and "hear" and ''keep those
things which are written therein. -
Verse 8. SO the Bible Christian cannot
ignore this message of the Master but
must devoutly try to benefit by it. Ar
mageddon is in close proximity to the
second coming of Christ. Rev. 1915
and on to the end of the chapter. That
coming is not vet due. In this do not
wish to be degmatie nor pedantie. II
is true we are approaching nearer and
nearer that sublime and awful event,
and every Christian ought to hail the
return of his divine Lord with JOY, but
the end is not yet,n though it may
not be far away.
Much remains to take place, first
though event may follow wevent in
quick succession. cannot believe that
Jesus may come at any time even be
fore morning as some sincere Christians
believe. but without doubt We ought to
watch as well as pray that that day
come not on Us as s thief.
