Villa was active on the border
and that Villa as a factor in
Mexican affairs has practically
disappeared since the German
propaganda snake was scotch
ed.
1t is interesting to know
these things and then to hark
back to the days of Villas
work and note the frenzied de-
mands of our tory press for in
terVention in Mexico. Unwit-
tingly no doubt those papers
sought to bring about the iden-
teal thing the kaiser wanted.
He desired the United States to
intervene in Mexico on such a
scale that would mean war,
thus handicapping our country
and making it unable to take
effective action in the world
war. The kaiser wanted that
to come about knowing that in
time he was going to order
ruthless submarine operations,
thus bringing US into the strug~
gle unless we were otherwise
engaged.
In its harsh criticism of Pres
ident Wilson for his Watchful
Waiting policy the tory press
was wrong and did not serve
the true interests of the nation
in its dealing with the country
that is now our open foe. The
mistakes made at that time
should be a warning to such
papers to go slow in war time
criticisms of the administration

fronting the president and his

THE GRADING ACT IN
FORCE

III N the administration of
the grain standards act
and of government pur-
chasing under the grain cor
poration it is inevitable that at
times unforeseen contingencies
will arise with the result that
adjustments must be made. In
all such cases it may be pre-
sumed the authorities will try
to act with fairness, under the
limitations set for them. No
one outside of the farmers is
going to make any money off
of wheat this year, save the
small commission given bro
kers, and there will be no in
centive for anything but a fair
deal for the producer.
There have been reports in
some sections of the country
that the wheat price fixing op-
erations of the government
would cause the grain stand
ards act to be set aside for the
time being. However the de-
partment of agriculture denies
this and in the following state
ment sets forth facts, some of
which were previously known
here and some of which may
be new to local farmers:
The enforcement of the grain stand
ards act will not he suspended by the
government. but on the contrary the
Food Administration and the Depart
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-10-05

ment of Agriculture will cooperate in
carrying out It's provisions SO as to OBJ
tain the most beneficial results to all
concerned. It appears that confusion
has arisen on account of the unfami-
HGrity of many persons in the grain
trade with the new standards and al
so on account of unwarranted praC-
ticcs that have arisen recently, sucn
as the arbitrary assignment of low
CIR numerical grade to wheat by reaS-
on of the presence of dOCkage, not
withstanding the fact that dockage
does not properly enter into the as
signment of the numerical grade. OF
course, every effort will be made to
eliminate these abuses and to bring
about the just application of the Of
fetal standards and TO establish fair
dealings. Ii must he remembered that
the Grain Corporation is compelled to
buy within the limits of fixed prices,
and that the Department of Aericul-
tUre must sec that the standards are
correctly applied. Cooperation of pro-
ducers, the grain trade, and the mill
ing fraternity with the Food Admin
istration and the Department of Ag-
riculture is required in handling the
situation due to the war crisis.

NOT GEORCIA'S DUTY.

1t is reported that Governor Harris is
DESTROYS that the state pay the cost of the
registration of men of military age in Geor-
gia under the terms of the federal conscrip-
ton act. 1t is the general opinion that the
governor is without authority to do so, and
another very good reason why it will not be
done is that the state is without funds for
such purpose.
There is no reason why the state of Geor-
gia should pay out of its own pocket the
expense of registering men for army SER
vice. This is the nations task, and. prop
er1y, the nation should pay for it. Georgians
will pay their full share of the expense,
anyhow, as government taxes fall upon them
as upon the people of the other states. For
them to pay the additional expense of reg
istration in Georgia would put upon them
double share of the war burden.
As the Savannah News says, there is
nothing unpatriotic in opposing the COVER
nor's suggestion that the legislature appro-
pirate money for army expenses Georgia
needs for other purposes all the money that
will come into her treasury Let the nation
al government, which represents all the
states, pay for the army registration.

GEORGIA'S SMALL INCREASE IN
LIVESTOCK LAST. SIX YEAR

From the Savannah Press
The livestock situation in Georgia is of
vital interest. 1t bears very directly upon
the impending food stringency and all that
can possibly be done to increase the live
stock on the farms should be done at once.
From bulletin issued by the State Col
lege of Agriculture it is learned that dur
ing the last six years the increase in beef
and dairy cattle has only been 2.2 per cent.
Sheep during the last six years have de-
creased 21.1 per cent, while the number
Of hogs have increased to total of SOL
900. This is not an encouraging statement,
yet the state of Georgia has made great
er progress in livestock increase than the
cotton belt as a whole The increase in the
beef cattle amounts to 100000 in the six
year period, but, as is remarked by con-
temporary, the population of the United
States has increased approximately TO-
100000 people in that period of time, and it
naturally follows that we are facing a
greatly decreased production of food with
largely increased population.
1t is not likely in the coming year that
the South can get the pork which it an
nually imports from other sections, and it
is imperative that every possible means
shall be taken to provide for the emergency
which seems almost certain.

Will the World Starve?
Charlton B. stroyer in Leslie's.

We are accustomed to reading of famine
in China and India, but it is a different story
when the same grim specter looms in the
horizon of the western world. All Europe
in particular the central powers, has felt the
pinch of an insufficient and unbalanced food
supply for many months. Because of our
tremendous contributions to the European
nations food reserves in this country have
been brought to dangerously low levels.
j. Ogden Armour recently telegraphed
the National Agricultural society in session
at Washington that unless steps were taken
to increase and conserve the food supply the
United States by next winter would be in as
bad state as any of the warning European
nations.
The United States has the climate, the
soil and the acreage to feed herself and Eu-
rope, but we are not keeping pace with our
own growing needs. In the decade closing
in 1910 the cultivated acreage increased less
than per cent. while urban population in
creased nearly 35 per cent. and rural popu-
lation only II per cent. The tremendous
war prosperity of the last two and half
years has filled the factories and almost
swept the farms clean of labor. During this
period millions of people in Europe have
looked to US to satisfy their hunger
The United States may even now feed the
world if we can get the men back to the
farms and adopt the European method of in
tensive cultivation.

Under the above caption The Dawson

"a great man once said, The more

dogs
Dogs, taken as a whole, are good
fellows, good companions. A small bow
who has never had dog for a com
panion and a chum has missed one of
the very best things life has to offer.
Dogs are priced for various attributes.
Some dogs are worthless to all appa-
rent purposes save that they are the
playfellow of some boy, and help him
while away his idle hours and share
his sorrows and his joys as none other
but dog can do. For none other is
so patient, so sympathetic and so kind
ly disposed toward things that interest

Really we did not know how to appreciate
q dog until few days ago. A pet puppy
belonging to our little boy died. The little
fellow loved the dog as devotedly as if he
had been human being, and while he was
worrysome he had, nevertheless, gotten in.

LATE SPRINGS AND THINGS.

Yes, spring is late this year; but if YOU
will investigate the record you will find
spring was late last year. Carry the inquiry
further back, and you will discover the ver-
nal season made tardy arrival at least nine
times in the last decade. The exceptional
year, you may ascertain, was when old Jack
Frost caught all the fruit buds after thew
had been coaxed out of their cozy nests by
overdoses of unwanted balmness in March.
The cold fact, the adjective being used
advisedly, is that spring is more or less a
theory than a condition Nothing more
clearly demonstrates our unconquerable OPP
timism than the persistence with which we
put our confidence in the spring ideal rath-
er than the official statistics. Spring ap-
pears in the calendar about March 20. The
newspapers and the magazines have been
printing poems describing its beauties long
before that. If few warm, sunshiny days
appear in February all the spring fans
begin wondering if their favorite season
isn't actually at hand. Seed advertisements
appear, garden tools and fishing tackle spring
into evidence in the store windows, and
baseball teams begin training. By the first
of April everybody has been thinking
spring and talking spring a month.
That is where impotence over the tardy
arrival of spring starts, and the cool days
of early May find us aggrieved and indig-
nant over the failure of delivery of real
spring goods.
That is the way you are feeling now, and
if you will look up any record within
reach YOU will find that that was the way
you were feeling at the corresponding time
last year. It's an exceedingly rare spring
when the paragrapher doesn't get a chance
to work off his chestnut about chillblains
and the toes of the May queen.
Cast aside your pessimism and be con-
tent with things as they are. Only yester-
day you were remarking that with the need
of earlier crops and good crops more i'm
perative than ever before the unusual late
ness of the growing season rendered the
outlook somewhat discouraging. The farm
ers were bit slow about getting some of
their crops into the ground, but the main
fact is that they do not get much of a
chance to do whole lot of growing before
May, as usual thing. And even with a
slow start the growing season is long enough
to give plenty of time for bumper yields
with an average allowance of summer heat
and moisture.
1t has been a late spring as you say, in
the garden spot of the globe, but don't lose
any of your enthusiasm. The chances are
that there is an ample stretch of the right
kind of weather ahead.
