without offering to pay for 1t, as re
allied what a task 1t must have been
for them to support themselves with
out having to feed a hungry man. Ac-
cordingly 1 gave the man mark and
then indicated that L wanted some
thing to eat. They were just about to
eat, themselves, apparently, and they
let me partake of their meal, which
consisted of huge bowl of some kind
of soup which 1 was unable to tden-
tify and which they served In ordinary
wash basins. don't know that they
ever used the basins to wash in as
well, but whether they did or not did
not worry me very much. The soup
was good and enjoyed 1t.

Thon I lay down on my stomach and
crawled or rather wrlthed under Tue
wire like q snake, with my feet first,
and there wasn't any question of my
hugging mother earth as closely as
possible because 1 realized that even
to touch the wire above me with my
back meant instant death.
Anxious as was to get on the other
side, / didn't hurry this operation. l
feared that there might be some little
detail that / had overlooked and / ex-
erclsed the greatest possible care in
going under, taking nothing for
granted.
When I finally got through and
Strengthened up, there were still sew
eral feet of Belgium between me and
liberty, represented by the six feet
which separated the electric barrier
from the last barbed wire fence, but
before l went another step l went
down on my knees and thanked God
for my long series of escapes and es-
pecially for this last achievement,
which seemed to me to be about all
that was necessary to bring me free
dom.
Then I crawled under the barbed
wire fence and breathed the free air of
Holland. / had no clear idea just
where l was and / didn't care much.
was out of the power of the Germans
and that was enough. L had walked
perhaps a hundred yards, when L re-
membered the lace 1 had thrown over
the barrier, and dangerous as real
lied the undertaking to be, L deter
mined to walk back and get it. This
necessitated my going back onto Bel
gian soil again, but it seemed shame
to leave the lace there, and by eXer-
cising a little care 1 figured l could
get it easily enough.
When 1 came to the spot at which L
had made my way under the barbed
wire, 1 put my ear to the ground and
listened for the sentry. l heard him
coming and lay prone on the ground
till he had passed. The fact that he
might observe the hole in the ground
or the ladder occurred to me as l lay
lnere, ana II Seelueu ike an age De-
fore he finally marched out of ear
shot. Then / went under the barbed
wire again, retrieved the lace and once
again made my way to Dutch terri
tory.
1t does not take long to describe the
events just referred to, but the Incl
dents themselves consumed several
hours in all. To dig the hole must
have taken me more than two hours
and 1 had to stop frequently to hide
while the sentry passed. Many times,
indeed, 1 thought L heard him coming
and stopped my work and then dis
covered that it was only my imagina-
ton. l certainly suffered enough that
night to last me a lifetime. With a
German guard on one side, death from
electrocution on the other, and starva-
ton staring me in the face, my plight
was anything but a comfortable one.
1t was on the 10Th of November,
1917, when 1 got through the wire. l
had made my leap from the train on
September 9th. Altogether, therefore,
just seventy-two days had elapsed
since 1 escaped from the Huns. If /
live to be as old as Methusaleh, never
expect to live through another sew
enty-two days so crammed full of in
cident and hazard and lucky escape.

Grain Standard Changes
Would Hit the Farmer
PROPOSED LOWERING STAND
ARDS WOULD BENEFIT ONLY
WHO RUN BLENDING
PLANTS.

CORVALLIS. Ore, March IS. =
Proposed changes in the grain stand
ards of the northwest to be considered
at an official grain hearing in Spo-
kane Monday, March IS, would be
disastrous to the farmer. think the
grain experts of 0. a. c. Miller and
consumer also would suffer if the
proposed changes are made. and only
Buyers who operate blending and
mixing plants would benefit.
The proposed grades would allow
buyers to mix poor wheat with SUI
perior wheat and bring up the grade
of the blend without in any way add
ing to its food value. The profit on
this manipulation will accrue alto
gether to the dealer performing it.
One of the worst instances of this is
pointed out by Prof. Hyslop as fol-
lows:
Section two of the proposed
change drops the class white club and
includes this inferior grain in class
five. white wheat. sample of this
number one white wheat may contain
as much as 25 per cent of poorest
white club without losing its class
one grade. While a sample of num-
Der one white wheat containing no
more than 10.1 per cent marquis or
turkey red will he thrown into sam
pie grade. a pure sample Of little
club would grade the same as sam
pie Of pure bluestem. if the latter
contains only 20 per cent soft ker-
nols.
Wheat men are requested to study
the press reports of proposed changes
and If they object to having the
changes made either be on hand at
Spokane to appear at the hearing. or
express their views through the agri-
cultural College, Corvallis. or office of
Markts, u. s. D. A., Portland.

Furred Tongue, Bad Colds. Indiges-

Unless some new cases of influenza
develop, the quarantine in Kennewick

the schools will reopen and public
gatherings of all kinds will be per-
mitted. The closing order will still be
in force Sunday and there will be no
services in any of the churches.

not such as to warrant continuation
of the quarantine. There have been no
cases in the city or surrounding coun-

comb, where the three children have
fully recovered. Mrs. Holcomb, tho
slightly ill, did not have the influenza
as reported last week.

quarantine is lifted the people should
exercise every precaution and requests
that he be promptly notified of any
cases which show the least symptoms
of influenza. ..
The Pasco schools were to have re-
opened Tuesday but were kept closed
because of five new cases of influenza
there. -

of Fare

For the purpose of following general
orders public eating places shall be
defined to include all hotels, ,restau-
rants, boarding houses, clubs, dining
cars and steamships, and all places
where cooked food is sold to be con-
sumed on the premises.
The following general orders have
been issued by the United States Food
Administrator governing the opera
tions of all such public eating places,
these orders to be effective October Il,
1918. 1t has not been deemed advis-
able or necessary at the present time
actually to license the operations OF
such eating places, but in cases where
the patriotic cooperation of such eat
ing places can not be secured by other
means, the United States Food Ad-
ministration will not hesitate to Sc
cure compliance with it's orders thru
its control of the distribution OF SUI
gar, flour and other food supplies.
A failure to conform to any of the
following orders will be regarded as
wasteful practice forbidden by sec
tion four of the food control act OF
August 10, 1917.
General Order No. 1. No public
eating places shall serve or permit to
