WHERE 1T HURTS.

There is no use trying to fool one S self.
The ostrich is the only thing that tries 10
hide its head in the sand as defense, and.
even the children rcconizc how foolish is an
ostrich.
1t is an actual fact that today, with the
typhoid scare ON, property in Ontario is
worth far less than it was three months ago.
Ii is also true that there are many resi-
dents of the city, some of them business men
who are willing to sacrifice what they be-
lievc their property is worth rather than
longer continue to live in a community
which annually has an epidemic of typhoid.
These are facts, bitter as they may be to
some No one regrets having to print such
statements more than the Argus. For
months this paper endeavored to arouse of
ficials and the public to action to meet the
situation.
The action taken may not have been
timely for this year, but there are other
years coming and n start must be made to-
ward Kidding the city of the menace which
over shadows its future, and clouds the
lives of many citizens.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1917-11-08
FACE THE FACTS.

Ontario is face to face with the serious
problem: "What is il going to do about the
typhoid"
That is it: "What are we going to do
about it,"
Certainly there has been sufficient CON
versation used to solve the problem, but that
is not enough. It requires action.
When all is said Ontario is going to
have typhiod SO long as it has filth. The two
90 hand in hand. Every person less than
half witted knows that The very first
thing for Ontario to do is 10 clean up its
filth. and that means, too the actual en-
forcement of the sewerage connection or
dinance.
The next thing. it seems evident that
the city must regulate the water supply or
do something to insure pure and adequate
supply.
And after the city once gets clean it
must keep clean.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1917-11-08
NOT THE OREGON FARMER.


1t has been charged that while the res
idcnts of the cities and towns rallied to thC
government S call for money for the Liberty
Loan that the farmers generally speaking
held back. This was generally true in the
Middle West
If this is true it is a fact to be dceply
regretted II there is any class of citizens
who. in theminds of the urban dwellcr, has
prOiited by reason of the war it is the mll-
milton seller first: aud the falmer second
Also according to the statistics evident iu
the application of the compulsory service
law. the rural sections ul the Middle NcsJ-
cru and some of the western states did not
produce their proportionatc number OF vol
mteUs.
The third charge which the critics of
the farmer in the Middle West brings
is that the rural citizen is persistent tax.
dodgcr I'm some of themost prosperous
sections of the Middle West that not SIM
gle farmer returned a statement calling for
the payment of an income tax, when it was
generally known that many of the farmers
of that section were driving high powered
ears and showing other evidences of sub
stantial prosperity
That is the ease against the farmer as
drawn by a number of the leading publica-
ions. That is the indictment drawn by hun
drcdS of people riding the suburban trains
Even if there were nothing substantial on
which to Justify such feeling, never-the-
less. the very fact that such feeling cX-
lists is bad for the peace and safety of the
nation.
Except I'M isolated sections the ranch
lf- AZ f1a lnp Wtetatu, ctotnu boNn haon a.
loyal as any men i'm the nation. In Oregon
the rural sections were not a whit behind
.he Metropolis In their enlismcnts. Ore
gon farmer is with the government SO far
ls amy section so far taken. How many of
The Oregon farmers who should pay, will
attempt to evade the income tax law. of
course no one can know, but the proportion
ate number will perhaps be smaller on at
east no greater than any other section,
among any class of citizens.
The far Western farmer can be absolv-
,d from the charges being laid at the door of
his Middle Western brothers where many
nave become obsessed with the socialisticI
dea that the government owes them evciv-
hing while they owe the government moth
ng, not even loyalty This is indeed To be
and it is fortunate that il is not
general
The war is gradually making everyone
realize that instead of the government being
to the people the people owe al
profound obligation 10 the government,
which is the people I'm other words we all
)we to ourselves to be loyal to ourselves and
be loyal to each other. There can be mo-
'lass prejudice that is not prejudicial to
the interests Of the people as a whole The
United States is in this war now and the
sooner the people get-to-gether and forget
petty differences the better off the nation
will be. This must not be made the occas-
ON for some to fattcn at the expense of
others

- 'rhrr6 are some things that can be done
to solve tho typhoid problem. There are
some that calfuOt be done The question is
To find the piuScr course to persue and to
proceed.
p Certainly after ordering the connection
with sewers the CouIcil took the proper step
on Monday night when instructions We're
given to proceed with the enforcement of
the ordinance No official was told To pro-
cced, but it has intimated that the city in-
tended to take action and in the future to
adopt the policy of taking the delinquents
before proper authorities and assessing
them heavy fines for failure IL comply with
health regulations
Such course will get action. 1t is
Just the course that should have been taken
wears ago. A few conspicuous examples
will help to educate the public to the need
for. and the advisablity of cleanliness more
than anyother single thing could do. The
city has demonstrated that it can enforce
the prohibition laws by handling out stiff
fines until bootleggers are mighty chary
about their actions. If the same methods
were used toward violators of the health
laws, is il not reasonable To believe that the
same result would be obtained!

Can't say that it was a bit cheer

After the "Relief" comes you be-

gun,) and you founder about in mud
and water up to your waist, in places
deeper. This is always night time
and rockets are occasionally faring
up to watch for a counter attack.
This helps you for the time being,
but leaves you blinded and worse
off than before. AS you start to the
real you have a great desire to
run but thecondition of the ground
and discipline doesn't allow it for
you have your men to lead back.
Rather a forced bravery, eh? that
of going quietly instead of linking
out" All have the same feeling
and it isn't counted ~disgraceful at
all. How good a floor with only a
piece of roof over it looks back in
the quiet area. After your stay in
"dug outs" you appreciate it keenly.

Arret Maison!! The only part of it
left was the cellar. In it we had a
dressing station. 1t was piled high
with the ruins of the prison which
was a mass of rubble. I spent two
weeks there with Smith, from Phila-
delphia. Seems queer but none of
the firing etc., worried me half so
much as did his snoring. He was a
past master at the art and I often
longed TO ra mufler or a maxim
silencer to put or him. We had lit
tie time for sleep as it was, but his
unearthly snoring was the n thing
to keep you awake during those
times. He is an admirable fellow,
nevertheless.
Now I am safe back at a casualty

good surroundings and people to

WELL EARNED REST
Germans Let Well Enough Alone

Baltimore, Nov. 1.-THE statement
(By the Associated Press).-Ths
Canadians passed a comparatively
quiet night in their new positions
near Passchendaele, the Germans ap-
parently being content to let wen
enough alone after their spring Of
costly counterattacks yesterday.
This morning a bright warm sun
was shining down on the inhospitabls
marshes and rendering the work Of
the consolation much easier for the
men who had laid down all night in
the cold in their drenched uniforms.
Heavy artillery fire continued at varf-
GUS points, the German gun work be-
ing especially intense in the region
between Schaep Bale and Poelcape1s
to the north of yesterdays attack.
Here inthe valley Of a little river,
the British were shelled from two out
posts in fortified farms and withdrew
slightly.
A captured German officer Of eol-
siderable intelligence has made some
interesting statements, among which
was one to the effect that he expect
ed the Americans next spring to con-
tinue the offensive on the Ypres front
He added that he was looking to Am
