Fire Insurance Policies
VIII Not Bear War Tax

Fire insurance policies in Oregon are
not to be taxed the usual 10 per cent,
so far as the state insurance commits
sion is able to ascertain. Reports that
this additional tax would be made have
been circulated, but under existing CON
ditions, this will not be done in Oregon.
This announcement is made by Com
missioner Harvey Wells, who based his
on an investigation prompt
ed by the many inquiries received. The
tax is authorized under the provisions
of the federal war revenue act, and in
several states 10 being added. SO far
as is now known, however, the insur-
ance companies have no intention of
placing this tax on policy holders in Ore
gon.

When Ma n Sees Red
Brought to New York by

when Man Sees Rled'' Brought to
New York by Director Lloyd

"When Man Sees Red,'' the spe-
ella l$200,0 900 picture de luxe which was
William Farnum' g last in the west,
and which director Frank Lloyd
brought east with him, is now ready
to be shown in this city.
All the scenes were completed on
the Pacific coast and at the William
Fox studios in Hollywood, Cal, but the
cutting and editing has been done in
New York city, while Mr.. Lloyd was
working with Mr.. Farnum on a new
production.
Both director and star are enthusias-
tic over "When Man Sees Red" Mr..
Lloyd is of the opinion that Mr. Far
mum as well as himself has done even
better work than in "A Tale of Two
Cities, the remarkable seven reel YER
sion of Dickens classic.
"When Man Sees Red" is, of
a wholly different character To use
word which has been employed so
frequently without real justification,
it is gripping in the extreme. Mr.. Far
mum has a role of the type in which
he stands unrivalled-tha of a strong,
rugged, clean-cut man. In this feature,
he is the sturdy sailor who battles his
way to victory against almost over
whelming- odds.

he had to take those shoes to a shoemaker
for half soles, besides he had to pay for in

as they didn't last me long; but since began

The French are quick to bestow SYM
bos of honor on soldiers who perform
deeds of self sacrifice or daring. More
than any other OF the allies, perhaps,
they recognize the value of embleMs
of service
Among the many neat little marks
upon the French uniforms that indi-
cate the rank and the department of
the wearer. says Sir A. Conan Doyle
In "a Visit to Three Fronts there
was one that puzzled ME. 1t was to
be found on the left sleeve of men of
all ranks, from generals to privates
and it consisted of small gold chevrons,
one, two or more. No rule seemed to
regulate them, for the general might
have none, and have heard of pri-
vate who wore ten.
Suddenly l solved the mystery. The
marks are the record Of wounds re-
ceived! BY this admirable little de-
vice the French allay the smart of a
wound and make it bring lasting honor
to the man among mis- fellows.

COTTON WILT AND ROOT KNOT.
Control of These Diseases May Necessi'
tate Change of Farming Plans.
THE Perfect Laxaftve

Where cotton wilt and root knot are
present the whole scheme of farming
must often be changed and planned with
special reference to the control of these
highly important enemies of the cotton
crop, says a new farmers bulletin, Got
ton Wilt and Root Knot" NO. 625), Just
published by the United States depart
ment of agriculture. The planting of
wilt resistant strains of cotton and the
use of crop rotations are the two inn
portant measures that must be taken in
the regions affected by the diseases, it is
pointed out, # profitable cotton produc-
ton is to be continued
The bulletin contains list of the more
important crops which are immune or
highly resistant to root knot and out
lines certain two and three year rota
tions, involving the use of such crops,
which have satisfactorily controlled the
disease. Emphasis is laid on the fact
that cotton wilt can be practically con
trolled only by the use of resistant va
rieties, several of which, including the
Dixie and Dillon, have been developed by
the bureau of plant industry during the
past 10 years. Sources from which wilt
resistant seed may be secured are given
and methods for the farm breeding and
maintenance of resistant strains de-
scribed Copies may be had free on APP

The People Are Saving.

The English have not been considered
n saving nation, and one of the most no
table examples of the effect of patriot
ism on a whole people was the fact that
during the year 1916, although purchas-
ing billions of dollars OF war bonds, the
small savings banks depositors in Eng
land increased their deposits over $780,
100000.
The patriotic appeal to the American
people for war savings has met with q
similar response. Statistics for the year
1917 are not yet available, but reports
from various sections of the United
States indicate that membership and as
sets in cooperative building, or savings
and loan associations increased at least
10 per cent, the same rate of increase
for the year 1916 and about the aver
age rate of increase for the last 10
years.
The small savings bank accounts show
a similar increase in numbers of depos-
itors and amounts of deposits. Sales of
war savings stamps also show great
growth of the habit of saving.
The American people have responded
to the call of duty to economic and
save. They have not only purchased
nearly $4,000, 100000 of Liberty Loan
bonds and war savings stamps but IN
addition they have increased their saw
ines as above shown. Patriotism and
saving are synonymous now. and econo-
my is a duty, and many million of Amer
lean citizens are doing their duty in this
particular.

many of whom have been unable to open
their shops for the last fortnight on ac-

shares of large consignments of Scotch
mutton which had just arrived. Before
the meat could be unloaded the market
was crowded with retailers, who demand
ed substantial supplies and virtually took
possession of the stall. The police finally
restored order and one carcass was served
to each retailer.
