What is needed most is an increase in

successfully you need to put on healthy
flesh, ronse the liver to vigorous action,

Fify the blood SO that there will be no

SOCIALIST VOTE
SHOWS BIG GAIN

NEW YORK, Nov. THE socialist
vote In yesterdays election showed
big gains. but usually failed to meet
the party's expectations.
The socialist vote here was three
times greater than ever before but
100000 under socialist predictions.
New York socialists claim the cleo
tion of eleven assemblymen and five
aldermen.
The socialists elected mayors in two
small Indiana towns. Cleveland so
cialists trippIed the vote of two years
ago. The Cincinnati socialist vote
N, 900 this year, was 1900 two years
ago.
The socialist vote showed decided
decrease in some districts. The Sche-
nectady socialist mayorality candidate
ran a poor third, although Schenec-
tady was the first American city to
elect a socialist mayor. No socialists
were elected to important office.
The Akron socialist candidate had
half the votes his party claimed.
The socialists polled 5000 votes in
Rochester for mayor. elected two al
dermen. two supervisors and several
minor ward officials. The republi-
can mayor was reelected.

SAVE THE RABBIT SKINS
County Agent Has Offer of &c
a Piece for $4,000 Prime
Skins-Get Busy.

Our despised crop destroyer, the
Oregon Jack rabbit. is about to come
into his own and become a source OF
revenue to those now troubled with
this voracious pest.
Five years ago, Agent Ward sent
| two test bales of rabbit furs to East
ern manufacturers and received an of
: fer of less than 1c a piece for them.
With the coming of the European war
| sTfbment of foreign rabbit skins were
entirely cut off and a market was
found for the Western jack rabbit
skins, but still the price hardly war
ranted the trouble and expense of
skinning them. Last winter. MI
Ward sent community shipment of
about 5000 skins East, which netted
the shippers 5-cents a piece. After
negotiating with the eastern manu-
facturers during the present fall. he
has received an order for $4,000 skins
at scents per skin for prime skins
and scents a piece for seconds. II
Is hoped that everyone will make an
attempt to ship rabbit hides this win
ter The market has now been Sc
cured and ii is up to the people of the
rabbit infested districts to make good
on supplying these firms after they
have taken the troubie to establish
a market for this product. Last win
ter. although 10000 skins were ask
cd for. less than 5000 were secured.
good many people not having time
to skin them.
Mr.. Ward maintained an assistant
al an experiment station at Fort Rock,
Lake County who was able to skin
and stretch rabbits an hour. This
would have netted homesteader 40-
cents for his hours work which is not
at all poor wage. This year. an
hours work an a basis of skins an
hour will net him 64-cents. Skins
from poisoned rabbits. are If anything,
better than those from shot, bruised,
or trapped rabbits, so homesteaders
can poison several hundred, pile them
up frozen like cord wood until they
have enough time to spend a few days
skinning Skins should be taken off |
flat not "cased" and care should be
used not to tear them. Torn, bloody
or muilated skins will not be accept
ed
In order to concentrate this first
shipment east to central points, the
County agent requests everybody hay
ing hides for sale to sent them to the
County Agriculturist's office at Red
mend where they can be sent to any
address you direct. The skins should
be dried by tacking them out on
barn wall. This way they will dry flat
and ZOE or more can easily be packed
in a gunny sack. The opportunity is
open for us in this connection to es-
tablish a new industry and at the same
get rid of the pest that has caused
the State of oregon an annual loss of
500 900 in Crook and Deschutes coun- /
ties last year and the Biological Sur
vey poisoned 1885, in the entire
State during the winter of 1916-l7. (
Ship all hides you can. and remember .
that single shipments to the County /
Agents office must be in excess of .
SO skins.

TRICK TO BEAT
BONDS IS LAID
70 DEMOCRATS

An eleyenth.hcur trick was pulled
by politicians, declared to be Demo,
Gratis, today to defeat the proposed
municipal bond issue for water works
and sewers. The trick was the pass-
ing around OF typewriter sheets of
paper purporting to show that the
present board OF supervisors plans to
spend $26S, 900 of the s480,000 bond
moneys to take itself out Of debt. De-
tailed figureI are cited to show that
while the board IS trying to pass the
bond issue on the promise that the
money will be- spent for permanent
improvement; in reality more than
half the proceeds are to be applied
on the Indebtedness. which is stated
to be s26S.0c).
City officials Who could be reached
his afternoon for statement on this
accusation are unanimous IN declar-
ing IT desperate attempt to defeat
the bond i'sne for partisan purposes.

be fae unfair schene of Democrats to
beat the bonds.

PRESIDENT TO
ASK RIGHT OF
DRASTIC MOVE
Plans to Go Before Nations
Lawmakers and Seek Addi-
tional Authority to Protect
American Seauen and Ships
EAasoeia..d Press ~ casI.l

WASHINGTON. u. G.. Feb. 81.
President Wilson has virtually
decided on another aud important
move to protect american lives
and property at sen and TO uphold
international law.
He has practically determined
to aplear before Congress prior 90
March 4 and ask fos. additional
authority TO | vested in him. 10
protect American seameR and
ships. This has been decided upon
in view of the present grave crisis
c,lnsed by the coinbatants' naval
warfare. High officials declared
today that there is a chance Mr
Wilson will not carry out his
plan, but there is every indica.
tion that he will make the nd.
dress late this week or early next.
The presidents position and the
Legislation he recommends. in view
of experiences during the war, is
to be authoritatively outlined for
Congress before that body ad-
journs. in the expectation that ere
adjournment it should pass q
broad resolution. giving added
powers TO the chief executive of
the nation.
Mr.. Wilson has definitely dceid.
ed what he will SAY TO Congress.
it is learned today, but the nature
Of his decision IS not made public.
0fiieials made itsknUWn IIefe tp.s
day that they expect. sooner 6r
later, that arms viii be fnrnished
to merchant ships for defense.
1t is emphasized that when the
president appears he will not ask
for a declaration of war.
While it is realized that the
pacffst element has some strength
in Congress, the president \
known to believe that the situar
tiop is such that when action Is
needed there will be no division Of
the lawmakers of the nation.
Added light on the sefiousness
Of the breach now widening was
given today. While there Is gen
eral reticence in official circles to
discuss the Austrian situation. It
is understood the administration
believed that negotiations between
the United States and the Aus
trian government are unsatisfae
tory. Washington has called for
a clear statement from Vienna a.
to the Austrian attitude on Ger.
many's declaration OF ''unre-
strieted- naval warfare.
