BUY AT HOME

Few people, We believe, ap-
preciate what they owe to the
home merchant. If they did,
the hundreds of dollars which go
out of this community to the big
mail order houses would remain
here and help build up the town.
Let us consider a few facts.
When you are up against it, it is
the home merchant who carries
your account until you are able
to pay; when you need money
for the churches, hospitals or
charity, it is the home merchant
who helps you out. The home
merchant pays heavy taxes to
support the schools and keep W
! the streets and roads and other

friend in time of need and the
money you spend with him stays
right here in this town and right
here in this county and helps to
make it prosper.
The next time you are tempt
ed by the fine pictures in the
mail order catalogues remember
that you can buy better right
here at home.
You need not ask yourself
whether the mail order houses
would give you credit when you
have sickness in the house or are
out of work. You know they
would not. You need not ask
yourself whether the mail order
houses are doing anything fol
your town. You know that
every dollar they take out OF
town is preventing it from going
ahead just that much.
Every time you send money
out of town for goods you are
directly injuring yourself. Blu!

IF GIVEN $1,000
WOULD WANT $1,000

For a stranger to read our
daily papers he would come to
the conclusion we were on the
verge Of internal trouble in this
country.
He would see reports of strikes
in San Francisco, Seattle and
Portland. Proposed walkouts on
railroads. Threatened general
strike to be called by |. w. WIS
to prevent harvesting Of all crops
in Idaho, Washington, Montana
and other states. Strike by log
gers and sawmill workers to say
nothing of trouble threatened
and at hand in shipyards. And
so on in every paper he picked
up.
Just at present the |. w. w. is
the most serious menace. How
a lawless organization of this
kind can go over The country aud
terrorize communities, destroy
property, prevent harvesting of
crops, etc., ETC., and get away
with it, puzzles law abiding citi-
Zens.
This class of cattle who wish
} to do nothing but fight should
! be given places in the front rank
| of our army and not be left here
, at home to hamper production
in our mines, shipyards, logging
, camps, on the farms and in othel
, lines of industry.
r These men do not want work
e They wish to live off the toll o
others and at the same time tel
the other fellow how he mus
9 9 work. Oregon shipyards alon,
: need thousands of workmel
: which they cannot get.
They pay no taxes, employ n,
labor, produce nothing bu
Il trouble and live in the fat of tn
: land. If they were offered $1(
q n day to work they would wan
q $4,000 and so on.
- This country is too good fo
them and they should be sent t
d foreign parts more suited t
5, their ideas.

Sometimes concience is fear
of getting caught.
Among the major ills Of war
we might cite the quality of war
poetry we are compelled to en-
dure.
Isn't it too bad that the peo-
pie best qualified to run a news
paper are engaged in other ac-
tivities.
The world needs more Of the
old fashioned men who used to
pat every boy on the back and
call him "Bub.'
Of course there are other rea-
sons for exemption, but cold
feet always was a good excuse
for getting out of the draft.
The loudest critic of the news
paper is generally a fellow who
owes four years subscription or
reads his neighbors' paper.
1t does not get as much pub
'icity, but the kitchen, not the
) rifle, range is the place for the
girls and women to practice.
With an autocrat in Hollweg's
place and peace apostle on
Zimmerman's job, internal af-
fairs in Germany should be in

 "I suppose she knows what she likes. You'd better change this for a gray or white or whatever color she likes inn mediately."
 "Oh, this can't be exchanged now. daddy, I've worn it this afternoon and snagged it a little, and besides you don't approve of sending garments back after they've been worn do you?"
 No. I don't, that's sol" he ac- knowledged. You'll have to keep that and get another for Fannie-out of your own allowance"
 This edict was most unpleasant for me, I am trying to economize this summer, and I thought when I se- lected that lovely bright green sweater that Cousin Fannie and I could share it and carry out my plan of making one dollar do the work of two. It is annoying in Cousin Fannie to be so extremely fussy about colorS. With her unfortunate complication. I can't see that it makes much difference what she wears.-Chicago News.

encouragement from the high com mand. Sofia needed to be told by the monarch who is in control of all the central powers that it had not as yet done its full duty. that 1t is necessary for Bulgaria to do some more fighting in order to help out the German ambition for a great central empire and to hold out as bait the allurfng offer of Saloniki if Bulgaria can only capture it. It was quite inn portant therefore that the kaiser should go in person to direct this move, to overcome Bulgarian apathy and to set in motion the forces that are needed to offset the entrance of Greece into the war Some prize was needed to get Bulgaria to do more than it is doing. Saloniki is appar- ently it, but the Greeks have no love for their neighbors and they fully un- derstand with what longing eyes that country scans their northeastern pos- session and thus any move in that di- rection is going to put Greece into the fight with a greater determination than ever. The kaiser is clever.' but it will be surprising if his latest move has not already been discounted.

LETTERS TO THE EDIT03
Who is Ireland?

MT. Editor: It is but a short time ago that MT. Cummings wrote you that he was done with his argument on the Irish question. It seems that he vas only out of ammunition, so now Ee reloads his dream with Latin quotation. One would think he might have more properly selected for his theme an Irish sentiment. An old Norwich resident Of the ancient Gaelic stock used to say "It is not aisy to knock blood out of a turnip," nor is it easy to prove loyalty with pen and pencil. Real 1oyaIists do not have no make broad thsir phylacteries, nor pro claim it in the streets, and an answer 10 all this kind of special pleading is this-which is also of Latin origin "Cesars wife should be above suspi- cion."
 Mr.. Cummings ludicrous parallels between Ireland and the United States are amusing. Ireland did this. and the United States did that. Who is Ire land? Is De Valeria-the South American adventurer-without even an Irish name, but representative of the Sim Feiners who insult and mob American tackles in the streets of Cork. Is he Ireland? Is Sir Roger Easement. who betrayed the govern ment that made him ''Sir'-is he Ire 1and? Is Mir Cummings himself, w1o ts a supporter and Sympathizer of the above? Is he Ireland? Or are not such men as Carson, Bonar Law, John Redmond and host of clean men who have not lifted up their hands to trea- son nor sword deceitfully. are these not fairer representatives of Ireland? While such men exist no great place can be found for people who think that Napper Tandy is yet alive. and that there is an English law forbidding The growth of the shamrock on Irish soil.
 The Ireland of today Is not this, but is exemplified in the virtue. valor and patriotism of men in the trenches at the western front. anywhere in France, who are there for humanity's sake and not for any antiquated notion of a{ circumscribed past

For a long tIIF- even before the
 outbreak of the war, there have been
 increasing indications xhat the time - was approaching when Ae govern
 ment would have to take over the
 control of the coal mines of the coun- . try. Such has been due to the un-
 just manner in which the consumers have been treated through combira- tions, labor troubles and other prcb-
 1ems which have risen in connection
 with the mining and distributiop of 7 that commodity.
 Stronger today than ever appears to be the 1iklihood of such a step be- ing taken in view of the strike in the V soft coal fields of the middle west where thousands of miners are al- ready out and others are threatening to go out. where the production of coal has decreased 75,000 tons a day and
 where it will drop much, more if the number of strikers increases.
 - Scarcity of labor and the demand = for increased wages have brought the matter to focus now. tc such an ex- tent that Coal Administrator Garfield . has issued warning to the effect that miners and operators must assume the , responsibility of the burden which rests upon them to produce coal need ed without interruption and if neces- sary he will take the required steps :. to compel the production Of coal to meet the country's needs
 It should be realized that this is the 7 worst time when such trouble could take place. The coal situation is bad enough without making if worse by , strikes. Business is suffering enough from such a handicap without Eav- ing the industrial activity of any sec , tion of the country paralyzed by such inconsistent action and if it is not the disposition of the miners and op- orators to get together on a sensible adjustment there will be nothing else for the government to do but act and without prolonged delay
