duction is sweet clover, native and
mostly wild legume growing abundant
ly throughout all Of the western noun
tain and plateau states and in less de-
gree eastward to the Atlantic states.
About 4 per cent of the surplus
hOney-that is, the honey that bees do
not require for their own sustenance
comes from the flowers of the cot
ton plant, 31A per cent from the bass
wood tree or American linden, about
3 per cent each from the tulip poplar
tree and buckwheat, and 2 per cent
from the goldenrod, widespread plant
that produces highly favored, golden
honey. The mountain sages of Cali

much Importance and, by common con-
sent, one Of the finest Of all in absence
Of color, in density, and in flavor. At
least 35 per cent of the honey crop
comes from the clovers and alfalfa.

pislnfeotants and Their Use.

Good disinfectants destroy the
germs of contagious diseases, the ex.
ternal parasites, such as lice and mites,
and in some cases the eggs of para.
site worms. The eggs of some kinds
of worms are SO resistant that disin.
f~ectants other than heat have little
effect upon them. The disinfectants
should be thoroughly applied to the
interior of the houses, worked into
all the cracks and ~crevices, spread over
the ceiling and the floor, the roosts,

the same time the feeding and drink.
ing troughs should be disinfected by
pouring boiling water into them and
afterwards drying them in the sun. Dis

KILL DISEASED BIRDS

There are some cases In which
medicines may be advantageous
ly given or applied to fowls, but.
as a rule, when a bird becomes
sick 1t is better to kill it, be-
cause the cost Of medicine, and
the value of the time required
to carry out the treatment +
greater than the value Of the
bird which is cured. Another
reason for killing sick birds is
that they may be affected by a
contagious disease which before
1t is recognized may spread to
many other birds in the flock. A
third reason for killing is the
fact that a bird being sick In
dicates that 1t is more suscepti-
BILE to disease than the other
birds of the flock. and in order
to establish a flock which is able
to resist disease such susceptible
birds must be eliminated.

THE NATIONAL GUARD

The adjutant general of the state,
who has just returned from Wash
ington. brings word that the federal
government desires the creation of
numerous and cCmpre> ensive ma
tional guard, represented fully in
each of the towns of the state. With
the call for several millions of troops
abroad the government realizes that
eXigencies may occur at home re-
quiring armed forces of considerable
magnitude, a3d that the national
guard is the natural source upon
which to draw in such emergencies.
This will offer opportunity for
men who are exempt from the draft,
either because of dependents or be-
cause of age beyond or below the
maximum or minimum army limit,
to serve their country effectively.
Just at this time there will be a
dearth of arms and supplies, be-
cause the factories are working full
time to supply foreign needs, but as
soon as possible there will be forth
coming both guns fnd equipment.
Meantime organization and training
may begin in earnest everywh ere.
The rudiments of military activities
are easily learned without either
uniforms or rifles, All that is nee
assary is the presence of come man of
military experience, and willingness
on the part of men to sacrifice their
time and comfort to engage in fire.
quent drill Hitherto the weakness
of the national guard has been lack
of authority on the part of officers to
compel the men to attend drill.
That ought to be cured in the present
emergency by patriotic devotion
everywhere.
A competent and we'll drilled
home army of 100000 men ought
not to be difficult to organize in the
48 states with the months to elapse
before the close of the year 1t is
to be hoped that they will not be
needed in actual combat, but there
is no assurance that they will not be
needed. We are living in an age
where the future is uncertain and
explosion always possible.

This paper is not in position at
this time to make definite an
nouncement regarding the putting
up of new hotel in Heppner, We
have taken the matter up with Mr..
Wilkins of the Palace Hotel Co., and
he stated to us that he is working on
a proposition of securing funds for
the building of a modern hotel on
their lot, the plans contemplating a
structure that will cost at least $780,
900 for the building and equipment
From what we learned from Mr.. Will
kins, he is assured of 100000 of this
money from substantial stockmen
and farmers of the county, and he is
asking that the balance, 100000, be
supplied by the people of Heppner.
He has placed this proposition before
number of the business men and is
awaiting their action. He feels that
the time is very short for action if
anything toward the building line is
to be accomplished before winter sets
in. Mr.. wilkins further states that
should this money be raised, he can
guarantee the beginning of work in
side of thirty days.
Mr.. Wilkins has had many years
experience in the hotel line in Hepp-
ner and feels that he is capable of un
derstanding what is needed here, but
he will not take hold of any PROPOSE
ton whatever that does not compre-
hend the construction of first class,
modern hotel in every respect, and
the plan he has sketched out is for q
75-room house, all outside rooms
The business will pay good dividends
and should appeal to those who have
money to invest. We hope to be-able
to make mare definite announce
ment regarding this proposition with
in a week or 50, The Palace Hotel
Co.. of which Mr.. wilkins has been
the manager, is working out a plan
of reorganization and will be in posi-
ton to sell stock within very short
time.

IDEALS THAT INSPIRED RECENT
JULY FOURTH CELEBRATION

New ideals that inspired the recent
July Fourth celebration were out
lined clearly to the Division on
Womens War Work of the Commit
tee on Public Information by Miss
Josephine Roche, director of work
with the foreign born. She said:
I'VE proclaim a new Declaration
of Independence for the whole world,
which all people will share, instead
of America alone. We have always
been proud of Independence Day and
the ideals that brought it into being
and on this particular Fourth, 1918,
If the women of 1875 could be here
they would realize that their de-
scendants have not drifted away from
these ideals and that the Americans
who have come more recently to this
land have been drawn by the same
vision of freedom which the founders
of the Republic had.
These great groups of our for
eign born are the people who have
been fighting for centuries for de-
mocracy and liberty in the Old World
Just as our ancestors fought here.
A wonderful faith in America, a
trust that they will here realize their
ideals and find for their children a
better chance, bring them to us
We are beginning to understand we
have as much to learn from them as
we have to teach them, and that
altogether we must work for the
realization of our ideal America.
Never has there been such an
'all-American Fourth or one which
expressed so truly and fully the
intent of the signers of the Declara-
tion of Independence. From all
quarters of the globe America has
drawn to herself loyal citizens bring
ing her the best from the old land.
New faith and strength will leap in
the hearts of those people fighting
in Europe against autocracy aud
terrorism, when they learn the It'd
ings of this Independence Day on
which their former countrymen so
overwhelmingly reaffirm the pledge
of America to the oppressed of the
world"

THE RAILROAD ADMINISTRA.
TION AND THE FARMERS

The United States Railroad Ad-
ministration has established a de-
partment to be known as the agri-
cultural section, whose particular
duty will be to look after the rela-
tions between the railroads and the
Department of Agriculture. It's pur-
pose is to give all possible assistance
to the agricultural development Of
the country. The extension work Of
the Department of Agriculture and
the stimulation of agriculture, es-
pecially in relation to transportation,
will be assisted as much as possible
by the new section.

What a pity it is that President
Wilson made such grievous blunders
in picking the men to whom he has
entrusted the conduct of the war
plans. He could easily have gotten
much better timber, and might cas-
lily have had the war won long be-
fore this. We have men in this town
that can discount McAdoo, Baker,
and the whole lot at Washington
at least that is the conclusion one is
inclined to form after hearing them
dilate for few hours on the subject
of what should and should not be
done in the circumstances. Their
stock of knowledge on subjects mill
tary is something at which to mar
vel, and we feel life impeaching the
whole bunch at Washington for fail
ing to make use of their valuable
services. But it was ever thus. The
wrong man is usually chosen and
we have to mush through crisis in
any old shape, while if real genius
were recognized we could sail
through with colors flying.

cost of service" The final result
will be TO decrease revenue, just as
the doubling of the price of postal
cards has reduced the income form
that source. The incompetency OF
those who drafted the rider" to the
war revenue act of 1917 which pro-
yided the zone system is shown in
the following anomalous condition:
A quantity of newspapers or maga-
zines. made up and billed through
by the publisher to point west OF
the Mississippi, will under the new
law cost approximately eight cents
per copy. \ single copy Of the same
periodical, dropped in the street box,
collected and worked through the
post office and delivered to the ad-
dressee, will cost but four cents!
1t is a curious situation when
wholesale mailing by publishers costs
double that of a single copy mailed
by a private citizen, particularly
when the argument for the passage
of the zone law was simply to secure
cost of service"
Thus is the patriotism OF the
press paralyzed by short sighted
legislators. s.-Leslie's

newspapers and periodicals were

per cent according to distance. Why

PATRIOTISM WITHOUT HESI-

If our soldier boys deliberted as
long over doing their duty as some
of our people at home hesitate over
doing theirs, the victory would be
doubtful.
1t is a sort of financial cowardice
to hesitate to put your money in

and to deliberate over the wisdom
and patriotism of the investment is
to hesitate in supporting our sol
diecs.
