PORTION OF SPRUCE
LOGS TO BE SAVED

AS a result of conference be-
tween mill owners of Marshfield with
members of the staff of Colonel Brice
p. Disque, head of the government
spruce production campaign in the
northwest, spruce logs in what Il
known as class 8 will no longer be
cut by some of the mills, but will be
stored in booms
Other mills cutting spruce will be
urged to adopt the plan outlined at
this conference. Hitherto logs of all
classes have been cut in the mills.
The percentage of acceptable alrplane
spruce in the class 3 logs is said to
be almost negligible, and they will
be eliminated in the future before
saving and will be doomed for later
cutting, when the haste Of getting
out airplane material is past.
BY cutting only the best grade
logs the amount Of airplane material
turned out can be increased by a
very large percentage, it is believed.
Plans have been made to bring
about thirty soldiers Of the spruce
division to the Conlogue camp on the
Coquille river. They will not arrive
for several weeks.

This resolution was carried by a
vote OF 50 to go. Such action had
already taken place in the state SEN
ate.
AprOpos to the action against La
Toilette at Madison, the announce
ment Of Congressman Lenroot's can
didacy for the United States senate
Is interesting. Irvine I. Lenroot has
been one of the strong administra-
tion supporters in the prosecution Of
the war. He is an able man. The
action of the Wisconsin legislature
in condemning La Toilette presages
the election of Lenroot, whose for
NAL announcement and platform
have been made.
Mr.. Lenroot's expressions will
meet with universal applause from
all loyal people.

Fly Campaign for
Valley View Schools

The Parent-Teacher Circle of the
Valley View school district held a
meeting Friday afternoon to discuss
several important subjects. A local
Thrift Stamp Club of 23 members
had a number of representatives
present who were making it very easy
for any one desiring to purchase
thrift stamps to do so without diff
Guilty.
County School Superintendent
Ager was present and gave an illus
trated talk on fly determination and
the necessity of an early swat-the-fly
compangn. Figures were given to
show the progeny of single pair OF
flies permitted to live and thrive un-
der ordinary conditions for period
of 12O days. The life cycle Of q
house fly is about ten days, and since
the offspring Of the first generation
is about 1870 flies, of which we may
safely estimate one-half to be females
and therefore capable of propagating
their kind, the number of flies from
single generation during the warm
breeding season of three months
would be 4,427,353,9 9OS, ,72S,S13,55s,-
322, or forty million times the entire
population of the United States.
The figures strikingly illustrate
the value or necessity of a swatting
campaign as early in the season as
possible. Steps are being taken in
the Valley View district to conduct a
campaign that should do considerable
toward getting rid of these dissent
nators of disease and death.
Systematic study of summer COM
plant and the number of flies for the
same locality where such disease pre-
walls, show beyond a doubt that the
fly is disseminator of this disease,
and that this common ailment might
better be called fly complaint. For
many years it was supposed that the
recurrence Of summer complaint was
as inevitable as the season itself, and
was in some manner connected with
the heat and too much over-ripe fruit.

not do so he must purchase the full

"The above regulation will also ap-
ply to retailers in their purchases
from wholesale houses and mills"
Potatoes are plentiful and sell at a
reasonable figure in Ashland and vi
cinity, and as a flour substitute are
not to be despised.

SPUDS MAY SUBSTITUTE
FOR WHEAT PRODUCTS

New food regulations as to flour
substitutes, in which spuds figure
prominently, have been issued by the
national food administration. These
regulations are outlined in a tele-
gram received by w. A. Folger, coun-
ty food administrator, from the state
food administrator, w. B. Aver, at
Portland, as follows
Owing to the extreme scarcity of
substitutes in this state, the food ad-
ministration telegraphed that tenn
porarily potatoes may be added to
the list of substitutes on the basis
of four pounds Of potatoes to one
pound of other substitutes, to'the ex-
tent of one-half the quantity of sub
stitutes purchased.
For instance, with a sale of SO
pounds of flour the buyer may take
100 pounds of potatoes and 25
pounds of substitutes from the Off
cial list. The pound-for-pound regu-
lation as to substitutes for wheat
flour is not affected by the above,
except to the extent that an addi-
tional substitute is temporarily pro-
vided.
This does not mean that the con-

Senator Condemned
By the Legislature

La Toilette has been condemned by
both houses of the Wisconsin legisla-
ture for disloyalty to his nation in
this, its dire time of need. Long de-
bate and much acrimony preceded the
adoption of resolutions condemning
him. 1t was asserted that the state
of Wisconsin was on trial to deter
mine whether it was pro-American
or pro-German. The resolution reads
as follows:
"The people of Wisconsin always
have stood and always will stand
squarely behind the national govern
ment in all things which are essen
tial to bringing the present war to
successful end, and we condemn Sen
ator Robert M. La Toilette and all
others who have failed to see the
righteousness Of our nation'si cause,

ernment in matters vital to the win

Stanfield Is for
Military Highway

Protective and commercial reasons
are urged for the immediate con-
struction of a military highway along
the Pacific coast by R. n. Stanfleld,
republican candidate for United
States senator, who as a member Of
the Oregon legislature and as chair
man of the State Council Of National
Defense recognizes the need of such
highway. In recent interview Mr.
Stanfield said:
Construction of a military high
way along the Pacific coast is neces-
sary as protective as we'll as COM
mercial measure. The obvious need
is apparent to any one who is at all
familiar with current history and
military operations. In addition to
its military value, it would have
great value economically in solving
transportation problems.
Roads and highways are becom-
ing more and more a determining
factor in the development of our
country. Good roads are an incen-
tive to practically every form Of ad-
vancement, both social and CONNER
cial, and the federal government is
more indebted to Oregon on the roads
side of the ledger sheet than to any
other state. This for the reason that
so much of Oregon's natural wealth
and resources al e held under federal
control, thereby evading taxation;
and to recompense the state for this
loss, the federal government should
give the state generous aid in the
construction of permanent highways.
Permanent highway construction
should continue right along in order
that we may be in a position to forge
rapidly forward, having every acces-
sorry at hand, when the war is ended.
Roads and highways should receive
Just as liberal consideration under
present conditions as it is possible to
give them, for they are absolutely es-
sential to our rapid recovery from
war conditions"

complish these ends.

of her sons to the great world war.
These men are the flower of our

render them every service in my

Under our form of government the
conduct of foreign war devolves on

army and navy. | shall do every
thing in my power to assist the pres
ident in making the power of this
community effective in the great
world conflict l shall particularly
exercise every power and authority
which l possess to promote maxi
mum efficiency in our local indus
tries which are related to the war ac-
tivities. No other duty is so press
ing or at this time so important as
that of winning the war. No sacri-
flee is too great If it looks to the tri-
umph of the forces battling for inter-
national righteousness.
| shall stand in the future, as in
the past, for rigid law enforcement
and for a cleaner and greater Ore

Oregon is firmly committed to the
principles of prohibition and equal
suffrage, and while they are no long
er issues in this state, | shall con-
tinue to give these causes my full
support.
Every legitimate phase of state de-
velopment should be supported, but
at this time when our country is en-
gagged in the most terrible war in the
worlds history, the most rigid econ
omy in state expenditure should be
observed.
We have state problems of great
magnitude to be worked out-for the
increase of desirable population; for
the encouragement of manufacturing
enterprises; for the enlargement Of
flocks and herds Of the best breeds;
for the eradication of fruit pests and
other destructive agencies in orchard
and farm; for the general encourage
ment of productiveness in all lines of
endeavor; for the careful, intelligent
handling of the several state institu-
tions and their wards, observing as
far as possible the best lines of mod
ern treatment while at the same time
securing for these and for every de-
partment of state business the closest
possible economy.
Domestic tranquility and business
confidence are intimately related to
the public welfare. | shall do all in
my power to promote them. | note
with pleasure the growing disposition
of employers and employees to consid-
er each others rights and to adjust
differences by discussion in spirit
of fairness and equity.
The routine duties of the office
will not be neglected by me, but
every effort will be put forth to bring
each branch of the state service to a
condition of maximum usefulness.
The efficiency of the service must
never be sacrificed for the sake of
political advantage.
l shall be mindful of the fact that
l am the representative of the whole
people and shall welcome suggestions
from any citizen to the end that the
collective wisdom may be brought to
bear on all problems.
If honored by a reelection I shall
continue to give the best that is in
me to every branch of the public
service. JAMES WITHYCOMBE.

FIRE BURNS
BODY OF DYING MAN
Stranger Falls in Meadow Near
Collinsville.


Clarcmorc. Okla, March l6-A
stranger believed to be about 80
years old was found dead in a mead
ow five miles east of Colinsville on
the Claremore road Friday. The
body was found by the side of
pile Of logs in a little clump of
woods. 1t had been badly burned,
the logs having become ignited from
prairie fire. The man evidently
went into the meadow and sat down
on the logs when he suffered heart
attack. The right lower limb was
burned off to the hip and the body
was covered with blisters. All of
the clothing was gone except the
cap.
No money or papers tending to
give a clew to his identity we're
found on or about the body. How
ever, persons who had given the
man lift on the evening before as
he was trudging along the road
towards Claremore from Collinsville
said the stranger had told them he
had relatives in Hominy, Okla, and
that his home was at Decator, Ark.
The body was removed to Collins
willie for interment after a coroner's
| jury had decided that he came to
his death from natural causes and
not foul play.
