WOMEN AS GARDENERS.

1t was not so long ago that women
working in the field were regarded
curiously. It was permissible for
them to dig In the dirt in their flower
beds, but public sentiment made
beans and potatoes quite different.
It was expected that the wives Of
aliens would spade and hoe in the
fields, but it was regarded as one
evidence Of their pathetic struggle
for a foothold in life.
Today in every back lot the women
are hoeing and seeding as If they
were men, Their costumes are not
always appropriate. One sees them
at 1t in tailored suits and starched
light dresses. But probably they
only went out to peep at their back
yard nurslings, and couldn't resist
the temptation to clean up little
around them.
The old prejudice referred to is
simply legacy from the times when
women sat in the house and did en-
broidery, carried smelling salts and
tainted on slight provocation. In
those times they were really frail.
They would have got sunstroke If
they attempted operating a hoe. The
modern girl, brought up in an ath-
letic way is just about as strong as
a man of her size.
Most garden work does not call
for heavy exertion, after the plot is
once plowed and prepared for seed.
Wedding is hard to the novice not
because of muscular effort, but on
account of the cramped position of
the body. There is much in getting
used to 1t and in suitable dressing.
When women learn that, they will
find it not very burdensome.
And the returns in health and
vigor will be apparent. After a good
summer in the garden many of our
women will wonder what has become
of those persistent headaches and
nervous spells they used to have.
The Old Man will have to pay good
sized butchers bills for the meat
they will eat. But at least the doc
tor won't be called so frequently.

Dry Farming Will
Increase Production

Much land in Douglas. Josephine
and Jackson counties, now naturally
producing but little, can be made
into rather productive cereal dis
tricts by good dry farming practices,
which means scientific tillage.
This is the conclusion reached by
G. R. Hyslop, head of farm crops at
the Oregon Agriculture college, after
a close study of the situation, which
eliminated in a personal inspection
of the areas recently. Prof. Hyslop
found that fall sown wheat, barley
and rye, in these sections, were of
good yield and quality, while the late
sown spring grains were either a to-
tai failure or poor. Many far-sighted
farmers are already getting ready for
the big fall paintings by using the
disc plow on their dry lands aud pre-
pairing to start their discs on the cul-
tivated lands that bore corn, beans.
potatoes and sugar beets this sum-
mer, as soon as the crops are re-
moved. In this way they will have
fields ready for sowing as soon as the
season arrives.
Grains in this region, says Prof.
Hyslop, need the rainy season FIR
hes, growth and should he matured
for harvest soon after the dry sea-
son sets in. This gives them the best
growing and best harvesting rondi-
tions.
Where to get seed grain is an i'm.
portant question discussed by the far
r;ers, county agricultural agents and
Prof. Hyslop. The agricultural COL
lege has a good deal of information
as to where the seed can be had,
and is still collecting additional
sources of seed supply.

CONTRAST.

Two merchants from different
towns got to talking about business
experiences the other day. The two
places in which they severally con-
duct stores appeared to be Of about
the same size and prosperity. Both
the men handle monographs, and 1t
appeared that No. was selling about
fifty talking machines a year, while
the other did not dispose of over a
dozen.
How in thunder Is it?" asked No.
2. 81 have mighty clean looking
store on the best street; we have
been there long time and everybody
knows u.s."
Well / don't know what's the
matter with you," replied No. 1, "but
] know this about our town, and that
is it's place where our people all
trade at home. There are lots of
good places to trade in all around us,
some of them considerably bigger
than we are, But our people know
perfectly well that II they keep the
money at home. everyone is going to
be more prosperous. It doesn't do
any outside concern one particle of
good to push their stuff in our town.
They have had dollar days and all
kinds of sales and plastered the town
with handbills, but our people simply
will not do 1t. OF course we adver-
tise-we have to make them realize
that we really have the goods. But
as long as we keep letting them know
what we've got, you couldn't get 'em
away If you offered to give 'em the
goods. Our town gained 40 per cent
during the past ten-year census
period. New houses going up all the
time. everybody working at good
jobs"
"Well. that's no doubt what makes
the difference" said No. 2. "Our
people would go out of town to buy
even II they knew they we're getting
the same thing for the same money.
They enjoy knocking the town.
Makes 'em feel kind Of superior, to
make out that nothing at home is
any good. or course we don't gain
in population II I could get two
thirds what I paid for my business.
I'd sell out mighty quick"
Which kind OF town is Ashland
going TO be for the next ten years?
The one that stands by its home en-
. terprises and grows. or the one that
knocks and stands still?

SLACKERS FEAR WAR;
 RATHER HAVE WIVES

New York-Believing that matrimony will save them from being compelled to serve their country in the trenches, hund- reds of young men of drafting age are seeking marriage li- censes in this and other cities throughout the country. The local license bureau has been thrOnged since the first of the week, the slackers apparently having found no difficulty in finding girls to accept them as husbands. A score of the get married-quick young men were chased from the bureau by federal marshals, who assured the wOuld-be benedicts that marriages of that sort would not make much of an impress sion on the examiners.

Americanized Slavs
 Are Making Trouble

Seattle-The trouble in Rus Sia, declared Charles Edward Russell, shortly after the mem berS of the American mission had left the steamship Buffalo, is that Russians naturalized as Americans, who have re- turned to their native land since the outbreak of the revO- lution, are spreading the re- port that the United States has entered the war for ul- tcrior reasons. The country has been flooded with German money and there is evidence everywhere that the Germans are very active in fomenting trouble. The indications are he said. that it will take some time to restore order at home and construct a new fighting machine.

STRONG ATTRACTION
 FOR SUNDAY FEATURE

The Bondman, with William Farnum in the title role, will be the attraction at the COlis- cum tomorrow night. This is a six reel Fox feature from the pen of Hall Caine. d powerful story of love and sacrifice, with d wide range of scene, extending from Iceland to the Isle of Man.
 stephen Orry, indolent ne'- er-dO-well, wins the love of Rachel, daughter of the Cover nor of Iceland. He marrieS her, and the irate governor disowns his daughter.
 Their happiness is short lived. Stephens mother turns him against his bride and he deserts her and slows away aboard a ship bound for the Ilse of Man.
 Years pass and Rachel dies. leaving a son, Jason, who, at his mothers deathbed, VOWS vengeance on his father. Mean while stephen, in the. Ilse of Man. has married again and his son, SunlOcks, is almost as old as Jason.
 Jason makes his way to the Ilse of Man where his father dies in his arms. Baked of his vengeance, he VOWS to kill Sun locks who has gone to Iceland.
 Jason loves Greeba, daught- CT of a Man official. She how ever loves SunlOcks. She fol lows him to Iceland and Jason follows both. Jason and Sun lOckcs are both condemned to the sulphur mines. Some strange attraction draws the half-brothers together and when a premature blast blinds SunlOcks, Jason hOists him on his shoulder and carries him to the capital city.
 Jason is declared free, but Sunlocks, guilty of a more serious crime, is condemned to- death.
 Then Jason receives a ter rible blow. He learns from Greeba that the man he res cued from the mine is the hat ed SunlOcks. Greeba in her eX

HIGH WATER $
 GIVING TROUBLE

Arrivals from the Twenty mile district, south of Nenana. are authority for the statement that considerable damage has been done by high water from the \enana river. and d change has been noted in the course of the river, the current having shifted in such a manner as to send a large volume of water into Lost slough. A large force of men is now engaged in the construction of a wing dam, by which means it is hoped to turn the water back into the old channel. District Engineer F. H. Ba\ny went to the scene early in the week and has talk en personal charge of the work which is progressing day and night. The stream which has been flowing into Lost Slough has flooded a large section of the country, threatening the work along the grade at d num- ber of points. Contractor Louis Dozet. who has been grading with his partners about ten miles south of town, was com pelle,l to abandon work on ac- count of high water. -"
 The Commission employees at Camp F have been moved out to Twenty-mile for the time being to assist in the emerg- ency work at that point.

HIGH WATER HELPS q
 MINERS IN TOLOvANA

Arrivals from the TOlovana reOOrt a high stage of water ill that camp as the result of the recent rains. A large section of of the country was flooded, and there was much more water for a time than was needed for mining operations. The wet spell, however has resulted in all of last winters dumps being put thru the boxes and money is much easier than was the case earlier in the summer. Of the big operators Dave Cascaden, Tom M'Kinnon and Gus Peterson are reported to have done we'll and the indica- tions are that the camp has many years of successful Oper- atiOn before it. Peterson only recently ran into a rich block of ground and probably will clean up a big bunch of money before the freezeup, in addition to the gold he took out during the winter.
