THE NATIONAL EDUCATION
ASSOCIATION.

Editor Gazette-Times:
The National Education Associa-
tion meets in Portland, July TIA.
This meeting has an unusual interest
to the people of Oregon. 1t will be
many years before another meeting
will be held so near US. Every tea
cher who can possibly do so should
plan to attend. Every school officer
who can spare the time and money
should attend. In fact, every person
interested in education who can af-
ford to take the time and spare the
money should attend. 1t will be
great meeting.
The program will deal very largely
with patriotic themes and the relation
of education to the national develop
ment. The printed volume Of the
proceedings will make a book of
about 1900 pages. There should be
a copy of this volume in every school
library. 1t will be a most valuable
book. There is only one way to OBJ
tain a copy of this book, and that is
to take out a membership in the as
sociation. Every school district
should, for this reason, take out
what is known as an institutional
membership, which costs $500. The
book will be we'll worth twice that
amount. l have blank applications
and will gladly send in your appli-
cation if you desire me to do SO. By
taking out a membership, you will
help your library, help to make the
meeting a success, and help to main
tain the reputation of Oregon for
doing things"
Respectfully,

Historic Comb.

A tortoise shell comb, worn by the

companied Napoleon to st. Helena, was
donated to the New York Committee
of the Fatherless Children of France.
The proceeds from its sale will be
used In the pledge this organization
has made in honor of Marshal Joffre's
recent visit to find foster parents for
5000 French orphans. These are the
boys and girls of soldiers In Mar
shall Joffres own command.
Miss Luisito Leland, chairman Of the
New York committee, received the old
fashioned high BACKBONE by express.
1t came from the collection Of Ma
poleonic souvenirs made by Major S.
Taylor, who brought 1t several years
ago from st. Helena. Accompanying
the gift was a letter suggesting that

457 SHIPS SUNK IN q MONTHS
This Comprises British Ioss-Does
Not Include Other Nations.

Washington-The German subma-
rine toll of British merchant shipping
since February II, as shown in official
British figures compiled here Monday,
is 322 vessels of more than 1000 tons
and 1876 of less than 1900.
British steam fishing vessels sunk
in that period numbered 7S2. Rec
ords for sailing fishing vessels are in
complete.
Submarines in the period given at
tackled 800 ships unnecessarily and
the weekly percentage of unsuccessful
attacks has ranged from 81 to rs.
Arrivals and sailings in British ports
since the intensive submarine cam
paign began have averaged about g.
500. but these include channel sail
ings.
The total loss during slightly less
than four months submarine warfare
Is estimated 10 reach 1.745.000 tons,
or about 100000 tons less than the en-
tire worlds shipping output during
1915.

WIRE WORMS ARE SOD PESTS
Precautions Must Be Taken to Pre-
vent Its Attacking Corn and
other Crops.
BY DON 3. WHELAN,
Extension Entomologist, M. A. e.

East Lansing, Mich.-The wire
worm, as always, will bear watching
this season in Michigan. Wire worms
are yellowish brown larvae, posses
sing hard polished skins and bodies
slender and cylindrical in shape, meas
uring from three-quarters of an inch
to an inch In length. The most inju-
rious form in Michigan prefers low,
mucky, or poorly-drained soils, where
1t feeds upon the roots of grasses,
grains and the like. Two or three
years is required for this pest to reach
maturity, which accounts, many times,
for the damage done by 1t a year or
two after grass sod has been turned
under. The adult is brownish beetle,
which from its habit of swapping its
body up in the air, is known as a
"click beetle"
Susceptible crops, like potatoes, corn
or root crops, should not be planted
after blowing up grass sod. Prof. S.
A. Forbes of Illinois, suggests that re-
Gently plowed up grass sod should be
kept in clover as much as practicable
for n few years, as wire worms do not
thrive well in clover land. In plants
badly infested with wire worms . II
would be well to use some commercial
fertilizer. This will not kill the in
sect, but will aid the plant in over
coming its work.
1t is sometimes advisable to drain
land and add lime In order to make It
possible for the clover to establish It
self, and this has given rise to the
impression that the lime itself kills
the wire worms. AS matter of fact,
the action of the lime simply changes
abe physical character of the soil.

FIRST DRAFT FOR REGULARS
New Army Not to Be Formed Till
Regulars Are At War Strength.

Washington-The first draft of the
army to be drawn by selective con-
scription will be used to bring the
regular army up to war strength.
The second draft will be used to
fill the ranks of the National Guards.
The third and largest army of 625,.
600 which will go into training Sep.
TENDER / to prepare for European SER
vice; total to be drafted this year,
725,000.
Decision to utilize the first men
drawn by conscription for the regular
army means that these men will not
be sent to training camps in their
own localities for training with men
from their own neighborhoods.
Men drawn for the regulars and
the guardsmen probably will be sent
to France before the men drawn for
the national army are sent abroad
Farmers are not exempt from mill
tary service. Provost Marshal Gen.
Crowder reiterated that only "indis-
pensable men" in any industry will
be exempted.
1t was intimated that drafting would
be delayed until the first week in
July.

SUGAR for the Babies.

AS a sidelight upon the economic
suffering caused by the sugar order in
the old country, many babies, says the
medical officer Of health at Luton, Bed
fordshire, were suffering from the lack
of that fattening ingredient. The in
ability of the mothers in poor circum-
stances to make purchases of a char
acter to procure ten-pound parcel Of
sugar has suggested to the officer re-
ferred to that the council should pur-
chase large quantities of sugar and
sell them to such mothers through
baby clinics. The suggestion has been
put into effect and proved the solution
of a problem that was assuming seri-
Gus proportions.

Of its origin in the wild times when
every mans hand was raised against
his neighbor. Margaret Athellng, wife
of Malcolm Of Canmore. king Of Scot
land, in order to induce Scots to re-

said. The ceremony, common at all
banquets, of rising and bowling to the
guest on your right, he holding the
cover of the loving cup with his right

far-reaching disease banishing, health
compelling remedy of the age, and
the phenomenal success the prepa-
ration has achieved throughout the
country proves conclusively that my
confidence in Tanlac is well placed.
"The ingredients or medicinal ele-
ments which make Tanlac come from
many remote sections of the earth
the Alps, the Pyrenees, Russian Asia,
West Indies, mountain states near the
Rocky Mountains, Mexico and Peru
are among the points from which prin-
cipal parts of the preparation are OBJ
tanned. In the principal laboratory of
the Cooper Medicine Co., Inc, under
the efficient direction of a chemist Of
note, those medicinal herbs, roots and
banks are assembled in the rough and
painstakingly developed so as to at
tain that high standard Of efficiency
shown by the uniform preparation,
Tanlac."
The wonderful success which Tan
lac has achieved seems almost incred-
ible, as over Seven Million bottles have
been sold and distributed since 1t was
placed on the market, something over
two years ago, and it is now selling
at the phenomenal rate OF approx
mately Five Million bottles per year.
One retail firm, the Jacobs Phar-
macy Company, of Atlanta, has sold
at retail in their eleven Atlanta stores
the astonishing total of $4,000 bottles
within the past twelve months, break
ing all records for the sale of a pro-
prietary medicine in the same length
of time.
Memphis dealers and jobbers have
sold 20S,116 bottles since April. 1916.
Texas dealers and jobbers have sold
approximately Half a Million bottles
within the past six months, and it is
now the most widely talked of medi-
cine In the world today.
There is only one explanation for
this Nation wide popularity and rec
ord breaking demand for Tanlac and
that is very simple. The inherent
purity and wholesomeness of the med
icine has confirmed it in the minds OF
the people and have made it a house
hold word throughout America.
The leading drug firms Of Detroit
and other cities in this section are en-
thusiastic over the wonderful success
the preparation is making and in only
q few weeks time Tanlac will be
placed on sale in every city, town,
village and hamlet throughout the
state of Michigan.
