SOME ALIENS ARE
THOROUGHLY LOYAL

There are In the national army at
Chillicothe. Ohio. 2.200 ALLEN enc
miles," men owing allegiance to gov
ernments with which we are Mt war.
In accordance with policy recently
adopted by our government, these
men were all notified that they
might be honorably discharged II
they did not want to fight against
their native countries. No influence
was used to affect their decision one
way or the other. They could go or
stay. as they pleased. And LOO OF
them, exactly one-half elected to
stay with the army and fight for
Uncle Sam.
Doesn't that rather warm your
heart toward the immigrants whose
presence we have often resented,
and whose good will we have i'm.
pugned? Reports from other can
tonments have not been received
but II isn't likely that they'll make
any poorer sbowing.--Marshfield

DEMONSTRATIONS IN

help fruit growers Increase the Of,
nciency Of their spraying and. where
practicable, to cut down the cost ol
operation.
Tho fruit growers who cooperate
will furnish spray materials and
make the applications needed under
the direction OF Mr.. Brown or OF his
assistants.
Oregon Is large state and has
many different climatic conditions
Consequently. any spray calendar
no matter how carefully prepared
must be modified to suit local condI.
tions. A careful study OF these con

calendar will be suggested as seen
necessary.
Many orchardists Of long cxper-
ience are not using the most up-to'
date and economical spraying nos.
zles. cut-offs. and other accessories
Where this condition Is found. such
changes as seen advisable Will be
made.
Great emphasis will be placed on
the careful preparation and thor

growers fall down. In endeavoring
to save money by rapid work, they
lose much more by doing poor Job

throughout the state at the earliest
opportunity. In the case OF great
emergency the $4,000 automobiles
In the state could be mobilized and
convey 250.000 persons at one trip
which is probably 10 times more
than the capacity OF all the railroads
within the state. This Of itself makes
It extremely important that this
highway be improved.
Governor withycombe is also con-
versant with Josephine county
chrome. and said:
Among the very important pro-
ducts at this time, aside from spruce
is chrome, and since there is a very
large deposit in Josephine county
this should be utilized. Josephine
has probably the largest deposit oi
chrome in the United States within
Is miles Of a transcontinental rail
road, and 1t would seem that II
would be good investment for the
government to extend, or to assist In
the extension OF railroad to reach
these large chrome deposits.
'T am also glad to see that there
is splendid progress being made In
the subject Of irrigation, which
means SO much for a larger food
production in this part Of the state
II am also very proud Of the
splendid spirit of patriotism which
is manifested throughout the citi

DAY uF NATIVITY UNKNOWN
World Aas Only Tradition 10 Rely

The traditional 25th OF December M

no historical authority beyond the
fourth century. when the Christmas
festival was introduced FIRST In Rome

man festivals (the Snturnalln. Sigil-

querlng march. The only Indication Of
the season Of Chr1st's birth Is the fact
that the shepherds were watching
their hocks In the field at the time
(Luke 1i:8). and this fnct points to
any other season rather than winter,
and Is, therefore. not favorable to the
traditional date. Besides, the ancient
tradition Is Of no account here, as II
varied down to the fourth century.
