EMBARGO ON WHEAT
IS NOW IN EFFECT
(East Oregonian)

Making worse a situation of which
they had already been complaining,
was an order announced Saturday to
local warehouse operators by Max
Houser, northwest grain administra-
tor, to the effect that an embargo is
to prevent the accumulation of grain
at Portland, Tacoma, Seattle or Asto-
ria in such amounts that some Ger
man spy could start destructive fire
such as Baltimore had recently. The
order was promulgated from Wash
ington.
The order permits the movement
of grain to terminal and interior
mills, to mills outside the northwest
zone and to eastern basic terminals.
In other words the purpose is to per-
init grain to move no faster than 1t
can be consumed in milling operation.
The grain grower who has been
waiting more or less impatiently to
sell his wheat is confronted with a
new cause of delay. Mills have now
full supplies. One authority said yes
terday that he does not believe there
is a mill in this territory which could
take an additional carload of wheat.
With the wheat movement govern
ed by what the mills can grind, 1t will
apparently be long time yet before
the grower will get his money unless
he accepts advances on the wheat In
his possession and pays interest on
those advances.
The grower has the privilege OF
sending his wheat to eastern termin-
ais but that means that he must take
eastern terminal prices.
While expressing a desire to COOP
crate with the government, local far
mers believe that the government
regulations are unnecessarily severe
upon them. They do not believe they
should be made to suffer financial
loss for condition over which they
have no control. Their wheat has
been ready for shipment for weeks
vet they have been unable to conver
1t into money for the reason tina
transportation could not be had. INT
embargo increases the difficulty o
realizing on their grain.
Meanwhile, if they accept govern
ment advance of $3.50 bushel, the.
are obliged to pay six per cent inter
est until the grain is graded and ac
cepted. If they do not they must g
on paying interest on borrowed mon
ey which could be repaid could the
sell their wheat. Also they must pa
storage charges and insurance.
They believe that the government
should at last assume storag
charges after January 1, should pa
all insurance until the grain is shiE
ned and should pay interest on tn
market value of the grain from NOV
1 until the grain is shipped. In fac
petition to this effect was bein
prepared for circulation at the tim
the order was made. The embarg
NAV result in the granting OF relif
to the farmers in the matter of cal
rying the grain.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur. properly com rounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home. which Is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound You will get 8 large bottle of this old time recipe im- proved by the addition of other in- 4redients for about 50 cents. Every body uses this preparation now, be- cause no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sronee or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at 8 time; by morn- ing the gray hair disappears. and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.

 Echoes of once happy home wrecked by the subtle fascination of an affinity, 8 comedy woman from the shores of sunny Italy. a trip with her to a little Pennsylvania town where i've months were passed until the fascination was broken, the charmer disappeared and the husband returned and attempted to be forgiven was pathetically told by frail care-work Mrs. Irving Clark of 422 Main street in pressing non-support charges against him who led her to the altar only last September. Bearing an in- fant in her arms. she told story such as gave graphic insight into the domestic wreckage caused by the affinity, an unfaithful husband and destroyed dreams of welded bliss. She, according to her testimony, was barely fifteen when Clark got her to say "yes'' and stood by her side as the words were said that made them man and wife.
 Soon the insidious charmer began to come between them. his interest in the home and her waned and then came one day when he left her for unknown whereabouts. For five months his wherea bouts were a mys- tery. Then he returned and tried to have a reconciliation. asking her to come to a home prepared by him. She did not meet his invitation with an affirmative answer. In his defense. Clark admitted having gone to Penn sylvania with the girl of Italian de- scent, told of his return and asking his wife to come back to him.
 He got no sympathy. the order be- ing that he post a bond of $250 to assure payment of s week for a year towards the support of his wife and child or serve three months in the county jail.

GERMANY ANXIOUS
 FOR END OF WAR
But Does Not Dare to Say So,
 iorWaertS Claims

Amsterdam, April 26, via London The Berlin vorwaerts comments sar- castically on the announcement of the semi-omcial Nordeutsche Allegemin Zeitung that the German government refuses to declare its attitude, amid the conflict of opinion, regarding Ger .snany's war aims. The Vorwaerts says the government does not wish to re- ject directly the peace formula of the socialist democrats but nevertheless refuses to adopt it because the Brit ish and French newspapers are talk ing nonsense and adherence to the formula might be interpreted as a sign of weakness. The paper adds:
 Whoever wishes may read between t,,~ lines that the government is pre- pared to conclude peace without an- nexation and indemnities and would even be glad to get 1t but does not dare to say so, owing to the threaten ing attitude of the Paris Matin and Journal and also of the Deutsche Tages Zeitung and the Tagesische Rundschau."
 George Bernhard. in the Vossiche Zeitung. sharply criticizes the declara- tion of the Nordeutsch Zeitung. He re- grets that henceforth nobody will be able to judge from the statement from the government what it's war aims really are. Nobody knows what the government really wants,'' he says. 'is the explanation of the confusion of counsels. Our leading statesman does not lead"
