ABOUT RECOVERY OF
BODY OF her son
Found On Bottom Of
Capsized BOat---Cirl Tells
Story to Mother

The heroes who lost their lives when
the Tuscania was ~torpedoed off the
northeast coast of ireland are many
of them buried on the island of Islay,
Scotland, where the bodies washed
ashore. Mrs. +. j. Wilson Of 1907 north
18th street, Salem, mother Of Fred j.
Wilson who lost his life when the boat
was %torpedoed, is in receipt Of letters
from his comrades and also Agnes
Whyte of the lighthouse at Port Ellen
on the Island Of Islay, Scotland.
Corporal s. Brady of the Goth en-
gineers writes:
"The last time I saw your boy he
was standing in line waiting for the
boat that he was to go in to be lowered
down 50 he could get into it. / also
Jaw him that day Tuesday. He was
feeling fine as we had just come in
sight of land and expected to land
soon. / was not lowered in the same
boat with him as he was not in my
squad. But from what / have heard,
his boat was capsized after leaving
the T~uscania, but he managed to get
on the bottom. But it was so cold and
rough that he was washed off just be-
fore they came to the rescue.

Potatoes
Will Bring Good Price
the Coming Season

Z. B. Barberof Portland who1fas been
interested in the farming game for the
past 20 years is firm in his belief that
the farmer will make a good bet in rails
ing plenty of potatoes this year. Mr..
Barber figures that only 80 per cent of
a crop will be put in this summer and
that right on top Of this, potato flour
is coming into general use. All of which
he figures should make a great demand
for the home market.
Now when it comes to the time OF
planting potatoes. Mr.. Barber says he
has tried out very successfully the plan
of not planting until say the last week
of June. However, before the planting,
the ground has been plowed four times
and put into condition to hold moisture.
Although the potatoes are not planted
until July l, the moisture in the ground
during the two dry months win keep
them growing and when the fall rains
come, the potato will do its growing
and be ready for the digging in Novem-
Der. It will be a potato firmer and
more marketable than those planted car
ly in the season. Mr.. Barber also aug-
gssts that if farmers would plant cab
bage and cauliflower along in the first
week Of July, the results will be most
satisfactory. He has been advocating
this late planting for a number Of years
and his ideas are respectfully submit
ted.

GERMAN DOCTOR
JAILED BY u. S,

ST. LOUIS, April ga warrant
was issued this afternoon under the
Federal Espionage Act against Dr..
Charles II. Weinsberg OF St. Louis,
president OF the Missouri branch OF
the German-Anerican Alliance. The
action was based on an alleged dec
lara-ion By DR. Weinberg in a news.
paper interview that the war will
end in six months with Germany as
the victor.
Weinberg is held in jail without
bond
Weinberg predicted that the Aus.
tTo-German forces would break thru
the Italian lines as soon as weather
permitted and that they would then
pass through northern Italy and in
wade France from the Italian frontier.
This invasion, he said would outdank
the allied forces or will make it nee.
essary for the French TO send troops
which they cannot spare, to hold back
the new inroads. This would make
possible the breaking Of the French
lines elsewhere and would bring about
Inc defeat Of France, from which the
British and American forces would
have 10 be Withdrawn.
