state DEFENSE council.
POLICEMEN
Claims That They We're Res
pOnsible For Saving Crops
Is Ridiculous.

1t was due TO the state military po-
lice that there was less loss of crops
in Oregon this year than in any pre-
,vious year in the history of the state.
This astounding statement is made,
in effect, in the first number of a
monthly News Letter which is to be
issued by the state council of defense.
Even when the world was at peace
and prosperity and happiness reigned
in Oregon, this state was not as tortu-
nate in saving its crops in any year
as it has been this year under the pro-
lection of the military police, il seems.
cit is a conspicuous fact" says the
News Letter; "that there was consid-
erably less loss in crops and less inter
ference in the harvesting of them this
year than any previous year in the his
tory of the state. This was due almost
entirely to. the presence of the armed
and trained force maintained in the
very heart of the wheat belt by the
military police.
Ny, what a terrible citizenship Ore
gon must have, that even in peace
times crops were never saved to such
an extent as this year when armed men
were maintained in the very heart
of the wheat belt by the military po-
lice"
A considerable portion Of the News
Letter is devoted to Il defense Of the
military police, which has been much
criticised since the people of Oregon
have begun to realize that an expens-
i've organization has been thrust upon
them under the guise of patriotism
and is being used to advance the po-
litical fortunes of Governor Witty
eombe.
The News Letter also reveals that
Governor Withyeombe knew cf the
plan to launch a state police organiza-
ton in this state long before the prop
osition was presented to the state EN-
Urgency board on March 20, when in
response to a vehement plea from the
chief executive the board authorized a
deficiency appropriation of $250,00o
for the police.
Under these conditions, " says the
News Letter, referring to its claim that
the ship yards were unprotected, "a
special committee of the state council
of defense, on authority from the gov
ernor, was engaged during the month
of. February in drafting a plan for the
organization of state police"
The news letter says the average
monthly strength of the state police
has been IL officers and 1870 rlen,
while the monthly payroll has aver
aged $4,000.

OIL EMBARGO DIsAvowED

Disclaimer that the federal or state

big oil concerns to refuse to sell to re-
tail dealers who keep open on Sunday
and before and after 6 a. m. to 6 p. m.
of week days was issued yesterday W
Fred j. Holmes, fuel administrator for
Oregon.
Mr.. Holmes declares he has investi-
gated assertions that this or that gov
eminent committee or bureau has or
dered the oil companies to withhold
supplies from those not recognizing the
general closing agreement, and says NO
authority for such action has been
found.
"'The position of this office should
be clearly understood" said Mr..
Holmes. "We arc ready to enforce any
instructions issued by the national fuel
administration, hut we do not sanction
the enforced closing by the oil COM

; The Irvington Garage & Auto Com
pany has told Mr.. Holmes the Asso-

only between the specified hours or go
without gasoline and oils. Others have
reported similarly.
The question whether the oil CON.

their practice has been referred by Mr..

ANIMAL PROOF SHEEP FENCE
Department of Agriculture Gives Plan
for Barrier to Keep Out Dogs
and Coyotes.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
A fence constructed in such 4 way as
to bar dogs and coyotes from territory
in which sheep are pasturing has been
designed and put to use by the forest
service of the United States department
of agriculture. Specifications for the
dOg-prOOf fence follow:
Posts ~ feet in length, set 21a feet
in the ground and 10 feet apart: a
barbed wire stretched fiat to the surf
ace of the ground; 3 inches higher a
16-inch woven-wire fence having a f.
inch triangular mesh; inches higher
a barbed wire; 6 inches higher a sec
ond barbed wire; Z inches above this
a third barbed wire. Total height, 81
inches.
1t is essential that the bottom barbed
wire be stretched fiat on the surface of
the ground at all points. This is ac-
cOmplished by grading the ground be-
fore the fence is built and by filling in
the small holes afterwards.

You Can Nov Eat
Your Eavorite Food
Without Any Fear
Kramer Says: ''Eatonic' Rids Weak Stomachs Of
Acids, Gas, Heartburn, Food Repeating
and Stomach Miseries

What miserable feelings are caused
by an upset stomach That dull,
heavy, 'bloated" sensation that follows
a full meal, robs good living of half
its pleasures. Is there any way out
for you sufferers with stomach weak
ness?
Yes; H. L. Kramer, the man who
originated Cascarets, has found sure,
quick, relief for indigestion, dyspepsia,
"sOur stomach" heartburn, formation
of painful gases, FLOATING" etc, etc.
He calls his stomach relief EA-
TONIC, and it certainly is making a
wonderful record. Countless thous-
ands Of people who formerly ap-
preached their meals with dread, now
eat their fill of their favorite foods
without fear of the after-effectS.
Mr.. Kramer says: "My EATONIC
tablets are the solution of the age-old
problem of Indigestion and all forms
of stomach misery.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1918-06-13

"EATONIC neutralizes the acids,
that form the painful gases, Sweet
ems" the stomach, and gives the gastric
juice q chance to do its work as it
should.
ITO promote appetite and aid diges-
ton, take EATONIC tablets-One or
two after each meal. They are per-
fectly harmless. Eat them just like
candy.
For distress after eating; sour.
"gassy," acid stomach, vertigo. nausea
and belching, and that wretched,
puffed-up "lumpy" feeling, after over
eating; there is nothing to compare
with EATONIC Tablets"

LOCAL LIME SUPPLY USEFUL
Necessary Food Furnished for Plants
and Is Great Aid in Speeding
Up Many Crops.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture)
While lime is not usually listed
among the commercial fertilizers, it
furnishes necessary food for plants
and when properly used Is a great
aid in speeding up the production of
many crops. Its greatest value is for
correcting acidity of the soil under
which condition many plants will not
thrive. 1t also improves the soils
physical condition and influences IA
vorubly the decomposition of organic
matter. In some cases it may make
available to some extent soluble forms
of potash and other minerals. 1t is
particularly valuable if there is a good
supply of organic matter in the soil.
Spring is a good time to apply lime,
particularly the hydrated form and
specialists of the department of agri-
culture are urging that local limestone
deposits be utilized in every possible
way. This is already being done in
many places but no doubt the practice
could be widely extended. However.
it involves, in the case of grinding, the
purchase and delivery of grinding ma
chinery, which may be difficult to ac-
cOmpliSh, and in the case Of local
burning it means the purchase and de-
livery Of.fuel unless there is local fuel
available. Wherever fuel, either wood
or coal, is available, however, togeth-
er with local supply of limestone,
every effort should be put forth TO
make use Of this limestone in the pres
ent emergency.

BANKS HELP BUY TRACTORS
Be Treated Same as Other
Agricultural Paper.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Federal reserve banks are to re-
discount notes secured by farm trac-
tors. Instructions have been issued
by the federal reserve board to all
federal reserve banks authorizing
them to rediScount tractor paper pre-
scented by any member bank, provid-
ed it has maturity not exceeding six
months and the tractors are pur-
chased for agricultural purposes.
This action of the federal reserve
board means that notes given for farm
tractors will be treated in the same
manner as other agricultural paper,
thus making it easier for farmers to
obtain tractors where needed.

HELP PRODUCE FOOD

Town Man Qualified for Farm

Many Communities Throughout United

IF you are Il town man qualified for
farm work in your county during the
rush periods OF planting cultivation
and harvest, and if you hesitate to
offer for such service because it will
be inConvenient and difficult and be-
cause you will earn less money for
that short period of farm work than
You would have earned in town dur
ing the same time-if this is the case
You have failed to grasp either the
seriousness of the present peril to
civilization or the Importance of the
personal responsibility resting upon
you, and every individual.
If You are a farmer in need of ex-
ira help, without which your food pro-
ductiOn Will be diminished, and if you
are reluctant 10 use emergency town
volunteers you also have not seen the
peril-have not heard the call that
has inspired other men to give their
lives.
The higher wage inducements of city
industries and plants producing war
materials have drawn many workers
from the farms during the last year
or two. As a consequence most COM
mGnitieS all over the United States
must depend upon local emergency
supplies Of farm labor for their heavy
seasonal needs. Plans have already
hnp,, INT
sections whereby sufficient town vol
unteers have been secured to supply
the need of the adjacent farm terri
tory during the busy periods.
OF course this is hard work. Of
course, in most cases, it means some
financial sacrifice upon the part Of the
town man, and some annoyance to the
farmer who would prefer permanent,
skilled help. But you are called to
that service! 1t is just a situation
that must be met Suppose soldiers
hesitated to do things that are hard
and difficult and annoying! Suppose
men wouldn't go into the army unless
they prOfted financially If Ameri-
can men had taken that attitude Ger
many would already have crushed the
defenders Of civilization, and you
would now be concerned about the
safety of your wife and children-nOt
your convenience and your money!
The last two would certainly be taken
from you with n Hun victOry-and the
Hun will win if soldiers ever hesitate,
as some civilians have hesitated to do
the difficult, the unpleasant, the fnan-
cially Improbable thing!
1t is your war job to work on farms
in your county. when and where your
services are needed to produce and
harvest food crops, War-winning crops,
1t is the farmers war job to use such
help to the utmost advantage Our
soldiers are gloriously doing their war
job over there. The most you can
do is infinitely small, by comparison
with what they do. Do farms in your
county need help? Then think of the
boys from your town, going over the

work to help feed them!
