A. Dryfoos, her sister, who turned
states evidence against Mrs M. NJ.

noon by Judge F. NJ. Calkins in the
circuit court to from three to seven
years in the penitentiary. They were

until pardoned or released by him.
Judge Calkins ruled that Mrs.
Strickfadden and Mrs. Dryfoos would
have to pay the expenses of the state
in the Garwood trial, fixing the
amount at $500.
The two wome ntold the same story
they told on the witness stand, ad-
mitting their part in the conspiracy
and placing the blame upon Mrs. Gar
wood, who was acquitted by jury at
her second trial They thanked the
Judge for his consideration toward
them during the trial, and expressed
regret at their part in the matter.
They left Saturday night for Salem
under their own recognizance.

Jackson County
Gets S1,393 for Fair

Jackson county has received the
sum of $1,393.67 from the state for
the county fair and like purposes,
this being part of the one-twentieth
mill state tax which is used for such
purposes. This amount will assist
considerably in putting on the county
fair which is held at Medford in the
fall. Last years county fair was a
big success and this years should be
better yet.
The tax totaled $49,93S.2O. In
Multnomah county the money will be
turned over to the following organ
izations in the sums named: Pacific
International Livestock Exposition.
$4,000; Oregon Poultry and Pet
Stock Association, s1,50O; Multno-

anson Of Grants Pass, joint receivers
Of the Rogue River Public Service
Corporation of Grants Pass and Gold
Hill, were in Gold Hill Wednesday
looking after the receiver matters Of
the company. There will be nc
change made In the corporation
force in Gold Hill under the receiver
ship. Ogden Snyder and Fitch Sny-
der will continue as operators at the
power plant, and G. D. Schrump as
the water agent for the city and cor
poration. The appointment of a re-
ceivership for the corporation is OF
much interest to the people of the
Gold Hill-Grants Pass district, who
have been looking forward for several
years to the rehabilitation and re-
newed activity Of the company, whose
equipment and water rights must
play an important. part in the indus
trial progress and development of this
section. This part of the Rogue Riv-
er valley has suffered to a large ex-
tent from the financial difficulties
and consequent litigation that have
tied up this power and irrigation
project, and we all earnestly hope
that this move will ultimately reju-
venate these projects.
Last week the members of the state
lime board, with Dean Coidley of the
o. A. c. and Warden Murphy of the
Oregon state penitentiary, were in
Gold Hill in the course of a. tour in
specting the lime deposits in this dis
trict. The party visited the quarries
at the cement plant adjacent to the
city, the Kane's creek, Calls creek
and Rock Point quarries, and were
very favorably impressed with the ex-
tent Of the deposits and their proxim-
ity to the railroad. While at Grants
Pass they were the guests of the
Chamber of Commerce, whose direct
ors called their attention especially
to the Cheney creek deposits, in
which Grants Pass parties have been
and active. AS the board
has very limited appropriation at
their disposal they are not in posi-
tion to purchase any lime property
for the state, but 1t is now their in
tention to make contracts with the
quarries now in operation for the
quarrying of lime rock and shipment
to northern points on royalty basis.
1t has long been known that this sec
tion has enough lime and marble de-
posits to supply all the needs Of the
state If means were at hand for its
working and marketing.

A Dry Nation in Sight
kansas City TimesJ


The thousand men who have sign
ed the petition to Congress calling
for national prohibition are repre-
sentative men of the country. They
come from every department of ac-
tivity. Among them are business
men like Judge Gary, chairman of
the steel corporation, and Frank A.
Vanderbilt. president of the National
City Bank; railroad heads, like How
ard Elliott, president of the New
Haven system, and w. j. Harahan,
president of the Seaboard Air Line;
college presidents. labor leaders,
editors, judges, doctors.
These men are not cranks or fan
atics. They are the sort of men who
are leading in the work of making
America to-day-level headed, pro-
gressive, with the imagination to
look into the future
They are against booze because 1t
is demoralizing and because 1t makes
for inefficiency at a time when the
Nation most needs to make itself ef-
ficient. They might have added the
argument used by the Kansas City
Board of Trade, that the country
cannot afford in this time of inter-
national scarcity to devote a hundred
million bushels of grain to the man
ufacture of something that is not
food.
With such sentiment and such
facts arrayed against them, the
liquor dealers had better get ready
for the dry Nation that Is now in
sight.

ROOT \ PATRIOT

TLIHU ROOTS acceptance of
T. President Wilson's appoint
ment as head of the commits
sion that is to go to Russia for the
purpose of assisting the provisional
government in the reorganization OF
the nation and to aid it in the prose-
cution of the war, is an act of pa
triotism if there ever was one.
When his friends spoke of him for
President, Mr. Roots reply was: 81
am too old for such responsibilities. -
But when the call of his country
came for service of the most exact
ing and dangerous character, he
steps quickly forth with: I'm ready,
SIR"
The choice of the former Secretary
by the President was an assurance to
the country that in this crisis the
White House does not mean to be
bound by purely party lines, and Mr..
Roots prompt acceptance is equal
assurance that American men of all
ages and all walks of life are as
ready as ever to respond to the call
of their country.

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES
CAPT. BETH EXPERIENCES
SOME GERMAN HUMOR

Captain Ian Hay Beth, the author
of THE First Hundred Thousand
who is now lecturing in this country
on THE Human Side of Warfare,
tell an amusing story of mutiny in
the band at one of his engagements.
In addition to the playing of the
national anthem, the members of the
band were instructed to play THE
Campbells Are Coming" as a COM
pliment to the captain, who lis
Scotch. Whereupon, two of the
bandsmen, who were Germans, stout
ly refused. They were given the al
tentative of obeying orders or of
leaving. With true Teuton strategy,
they said nothing but waited. When
the bandmaster gave the signal,
every member of the band, with the
exception of the obstinate ones,
piped up heartily THE Campbells
Are Coming" but to the consterna-
ton of the bandmaster, under the
Highland strains was the unmis-
taxable music of THE Watch on the
Rhine" And yet there are those who
contend that the Germans have no
sense of humor!

PROMOTE SANE USE OF CHILDREN
Plan Offered by National Child Labor Committee to
Employ Children in Agriculture Under
Supervision

out knowing the actual need for
them, or without regulation, would
be wasteful and q hindrance TO the
farmers who do cot want a horde of
inexperienced laborers on their
lands, each State should create a
committee of school officials to con-
fer with the State Agricultural De-
partment and farmers organizations,
meet whatever need there is of child
labor and draft regulations for it.
The suggested regulations are that
children IA and over. only, be per-
mitted to work for farmers other
than their own parents, since. as the
National Child Labor Committee
states, the farmers themselves re-
peatedly say that children younger
than the Ia or 15-year-olds are no
use to them; that such children be
excused from school for farm work
between June 1 and October /; that
no children so excused be permitted
to work more than hours a day or
6 days a week; that children shall
be so excused only on the issuance
of a special permit, by the State
committee of school officials or per-
sons authorized by them, stating that
the child has been examined by a
physician and found physically fit
for work, and is TO be employed on
The committee of school officials
is to be responsible for the enforce
ment of such regulations and for the
supervision of the transportation,
housing and feeding of the children.
AS to housing it is suggested that
the children live in camps, under su-
pervision of scourmasters, play
ground directors, or school officers,
from which they may be sent in
gangs each day to the farms or fields
where they are needed and to which
they may be returned at night, thus
keeping their living conditions under
control. and relieving the farmers of
the responsibility of housing them.
England is already wishing she
had not used her children so reck-
lessly at the beginning of the war.
Let America learn by England's eX-
perience," says the leaflet in eX-
plauation of the need of reg dlation.
In the letter accompanying the leaf
let it is stated that the policy of re-
cruiting agricultural and factory
workers from schoolchildren IL to
IS years old. adopted IN Great Brit
ain at the beginning of the war, al
ready stands revealed as short-sight-
ed, and standards too recklessly set
aside are now being restored.

plans contemplate series of build
ings which will be erected within
the next twenty-five or fifty years.
Meanwhile the park treatment will
be carried out in such manner as to
admit of these buildings being con-
structed from time to time without
damage to the original park design.
AS is generally understood, the
plan proposes a reforming of the old
park district in harmony with the
general scheme of treatment adopted
for that section east of the Capitol
and embraced in the extension zone.
While it is not possible, of course,
to provide at the present session of
the Legislature for the completion
of the plan adopted. steps must be
taken at once for grading and plant
ing, so that no time shall be lost in
the development of trees and shrub
berry to give a proper setting to the
Capitol.
While factional controversy af-
fects in some measure the construc-
tive work of the session, there is no
opposition to the Capitol Park de-
velopment. 1t is realized that this
work must proceed and that it would
be folly to defer the start two years.
Governor Brumbaugh, Senator Pen
rose and the leaders of the Senate
and House are a unit in the belief
that nothing should interfere with
the plans which have been so COM
prehensively outlined by the emi-
nent architects who have given their
best thought to the undertaking.
1t is believed that the widening OF
Walnut, Third and North streets, as
we'll as the regarding of the terrace
and planting, can easily go forward
during the next two years, so that the
session of 1919 can make further
provision for such change of the
eastern front of the Capitol as may
be necessary to give proper simili-
tude to that wonderful structure.

Armored Cars VS.. Infantry

The London Daily Chronicles cor
respondent with the Egyptian eXpe-
dition writes as follows of an Incl
dent in the fighting about Taxa, in
which eight armored cars success
fully attacked 5000 Turks:
"Armored cars sent out yesterday
afternoon to assist to keep off 5000
reinforcemepts from the Hui area
co-operated so well that the whole
of the enemy were held up at crit
ical period.
when it became dark the cars
retired, with an officer walking in
front to find a practicable path over
much broken country. They proceed
ed at q walking pace for four hours,
when the crews were given a sleep
till o'clock this morning. Then
they made ready to proceed to our
lines through waterless country.
"An officer went ahead in an un-
armored car to reconnoitre, and saw
at once he was confronted with a
large body of enemy outposts. only
100 yards ahead, who Immediately
opened fire. He abandoned the staff
car, ran to the armored cars and or
dered an attack.
This proved to be an amazing
fight of eight cars against 5000 in
fantry and artillery. The cars push
ed forward. having to find paths over
rough ground full of deep holes.
1.-The enemy tried with all their
might to stop the armored cars, but
the latter fought sometimes in line
sometimes in column. moved down
the Turks at ranges of between 25
and 800 yards, and got through the
whole 5000 Turks in two hours
with one killed, four wounded, in
fiicting at conservative estimate
$50 casualties.
After they got within our lines
the bullet marks on the turrets
showed that the Turkish musketry Is
not always bad.@ 1t is marvellous the
crews suffered so little.

DON'T HOARD FOOD
NON'T hoard food"

HON'T hoard food"
That is the advice of provi-
sion men and economists in
the employ of the government.
If you doubt its wisdom get a
copy of Mr.. Breitling Sees it
Through" and read of the follies the
English people committed in this
regard at the beginning of the war.
So much evil was worked by the
practice in Great Britain that food
boarding is now forbidden there by
government decree. Says the Lon
don Daily Chronicle, setting forth
the latest dictum of the food con-
troller:
An order issued last night by
the Food Controller makes it un-
lawful for any person to. acquire
an article of food in such quanti-
ties that the amount in his pos
session or under his control at
quired for ordinary use and con-
sumption in his household or es-
tablishment.
1t is, further, made an offense
for dealers to sell articles where
they have reason to believe the
amount permitted to the pur-
chaser will thereby be exceeded.
The order excludes articles OF
food held by producers, dealers
and manufacturers, and also
homemade articles of food and
the materials reasonably neces-
sary in the ordinary course OF
such production.
The power of entry upon prem
ises is limited to such persons as
are specially authorized in writ
ing by the Food Controller.
Penalties for a breach of the
order are those for an offense
against the Defense of the Realm
regulations.
The only result of housekeepers
piling up huge quantities of salt
meats, canned goods, sugar, -four
ETC., will be to make provision sup.
plies even lower than they are and
force prices higher. 1t is all very
we'll for the man with money in hi:
pocket to take advantage of the
market thus to save a few pennies
possibly, but possessors of bank ac.
| counts should take thought of the
poor people who must live from
hand to mouth and who will have tc
pay in higher prices for every pound
of food his more fortunate neigh
bors hoard.

America
By BRIGGS

I am the refuge of all the op-
pressed,
am the boast of the free,
am the harbor where ships may
rest.
Safely 'twixt sea and sea.
hold up a torch to a darkened
world,
I tighten the path with it's ray.
Let my hand keep Steady
And let me be ready
For whatever comes my way
Let me be ready.
oh, better than fortresses, better
than guns,
Better than lance or spear,
Are the loyal hearts of my daugh-
ters and sons,
Faithful and without fear.
But my daughters and sons must
understand
That Attila did not die.
And they must be ready,
Their hands must be steady,
If the hosts of hell come nigh
They must be ready.
If Jesus were back on the earth with
men.
He would not preach to-day
Until he had made him scourge,
and again
He would drive the defilers away.
He would throw down the tables of
lust and greed
And scatter the changers gold.
He would be ready,
His hand would be steady, -
AS it was in that temple of old
He would be ready.
1 am the cradle of Gods new world,
From me shall the new race rise,
And my glorious banner must float
unfurled,
Unsullied against the skies.
My sons and daughters must be my
strength,
With courage to do and to dare,
With hearts that are ready,
With hands that are steady,
And their slogan must be, prepare!
They must be ready!
With a prayer on the lip they must
shoulder arms,
For after all has been said,
We must muster guns,
If we master Huns
And Attila is not dead
We must be ready!
