SCARCITY OF CLOTHING
IN GERMANY

New York, June 5,--(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press)-The
scarcity of clothing in Germany has
resulted in an order that all munich
palities negotiate with societies for
the utilization of materials used for
hall decorations, says the Berlin
Tageblatt. The imperial clothing
board has been forced to deny the
application of communities for the
delivery Of clothing and linen for city
children sent to the country, because
Of the searcity of supplies. Worn
footwear and old leather may be sold
only to persons and boards designated
by the imperial board for shoe sup
ply. The same holds good as to all
finished goods in whole or in part of
leather such as trunks and hat and
helmet boxes, footballs, dice boxes,
saddles, school knapsacks, harnesses,
card cases

THE SUGAR QUESTION
IN GREAT BRITAIN

London, May 1.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press) i'm report
on the sugar supply question in Great
Britain, Professor George Marineau
of the University of London, urges the
British government to learn from Ger
many and the United States which he
describes as "the two countries which
have handled the sugar question most
successfully" Speaking of Germany's
success with sugar in the past decade,
he says: "rhere are two causes at
the bottom of this mystery. Energy,
ability, efficiency, and, more than all,
persistent research, constituted the
first and best cause. But this was sup
plemented by a stimulus designed to
induce capitalists to risk their money
in the beet root industry.
'It was Germany that hit upon the
right kind of stimulus. 1t was bril-
liant idea and carried out with great
judgment. The sugar duty was levied,
not upon the sugar produced, but the
roots. This at once stimulated the
farmer to produce the richest possible
quality of root, and the manufacturer
to extract from the root the largest
possible quantity of sugar. Great
pains were taken to brood an improved
variety of sugar beet.
"This research still goes on in Ger
many and its success has been
astounding. At the beginning the
sugar beet contained less than 6 per
cent of sugar. In Germany the aver
age quantity of sugar actually ex-
tracted has been brought up to practi-
cally 18 per cent.
"That this wonderful result was
caused by the stimulus, plus of course
great efficiency, is proved by the fact
that poor France continued getting a
6 per cent yield until it adopted the
Germ an system, and even then never
succeeded in catching up in the race.
That is the worst of being too late.
In industry it is fatal
"In the United States, says Pro-
fessor Martineau, the industry has
been so carefully fostered that the
production has increased many-fold.
IF America had not created this great
increase in production" he explains,
eve should at the present moment be
suffering-and so would America
from a real sugar famine.
"In 1915 the consumption of sugar
in the United States amounted to the
large figure of 4,250,OD0 tors, every
ounce of which, with the purely acci-
dental exception of $4,000 tons, came
from her own states, territories and
proctoctorates. This striking fact is
entirely the result of giving prefer
ence. The United States, so far as
sugar is concerned, is now entirely
Independent of the outside world, and
Is even able to spare us million
whenever we are short of supplies"

THE AVERAGE NAN"
(By Margaret Sangster, in Harper's
Weekly.)

(By Margaret Sangster, in Harper's
Weekly.)
When it comes to a question of trust
ing
Yourself to the risks of the road,
When the thing is the sharing of bur
dens,
The lifting in heft of load,
'Tis the average man and no other
Who does his plain duty each day,
The small things his wage is for do
ing,
On the commonplace bit Of the way
In the hours of peril and trial,
In the hour you meet as you can,
You may safely depend on the wisdom
And skill of the average man.
'Tis the average man, may God bless
him,
Who pilots us still in the van,
Over land, over sea, as we travel,
Just the plain, hardy, average man
So on through the days of existence
All mingling, in shadow or shine,
We may count on the every day hero
Whom haply the gods may divine.
But who wears the swarth CRIME OF
his calling,
And labors and earns as he can,
But stands at the last with the
noblest,
The common place average man.

REMARKABLE CHANGE
IN JUST FEW DAYS
Spartanburg Woman Relates Her
Wonderful Experiences
SHE SUFFERED MUCH
After Being in Bed Three Weeks,
Tanlac Had Her Up in Just Three
Days

Il was able to eat a regular meal
and do light housework in three days
after l began taking Tanlac, though
before I started taking it l had stayed
in bed three weeks and could not even
sit up" said Mrs. J. G.. Johnson, of
587 N. Church ST., Spartanburg, iE
her endorsement of "The National
Tonic" 'In week after taking the
first dose, l discharged my cook and
began doing all my housework, and 1
went to church five days after began
this treatment" continued Mrs.
Johnson
Il had catarrhal fever and what I
think was light case of the grippe.
1 was awfully nauseated and 1 could
not retain even cold water, much less
food. / became so weak and sick that
l had to stay in bed. When I started
Tanlac l had been in bed three weeks
and unable to sit up. All this time
l was under treatment, and 1 did not
seem to be gaining strength. I lost
heart in that way of trying to regain
my health, and so 1 threw away all
my. medicines and began taking Tan
lac.
"The Tanlac gave me back my ap-
petite right at the start, and I could
just feel myself getting stronger
right along. I have never known any
medicine that would make a sick per-
son well so quickly-especially one as
sick as 1 was. l took just two bot
Ties. 1 am feeling fine now and I'm
getting stronger. My health is far
better an it has been for year or
so. IT, Tanlac surely did make me
get well quickly-it was just wonder
full"

A NIGHT DISPATCH

"Good night, my DEAR" 1 whisper,
here alone
And know afar the message shall be
The prairie winds shall catch it in
their sweep,
And watt it into woodlands, husaed
and deep,
Their vines shall tell it in their whis-
30 pering;
And purple thistle-envoys give it
wing.
Corn fields shall wave it from light
tassel tips,
And meadows breathe it with their
flower-lips;
By bloom and breeze the wireless
word shall fly,
AS here beneath the lured battle sky
l whisper only this: Good night, my
dear"
And dream that through dim leagues
of dark, you hear.

1t seems that the Germans interned
at Hot Springs instituted boycott
against Anthony Brothers of this city
because the firm was bit strong
against the kaiser. The same boycott
could have easily been instituted
against the meat packing houses and
the grocery establishments. If those
interned Germans would refuse to eat
because the concerns furnishing the
foodstuffs were buying bonds and
urging the everlasting annihilation of
the Hun dynasty, the result would be
quite saving to the government

SIX O'CLOCK CLUB
HOLDS LAST SESSION
Pioneers In Methodist Church
Featured In Program
Last Night

The final session for the season of
the Si1 O'Clock club of the First Meth
4ast evening was the
occasion for memorable gathering of
Old pioneers of Methodism, who in
speech and toast reeounted their per-
sonal experiences and recollections of
earl y days and early workers from the
period when Oregon was territory
to the present.
The chief address of the evening was
made by General w. H. O'Dell, of Port
iand, who crossed the plains by oxen in
1851 and has spent Sc years of his life
III this state. He began with the history
OF Jason Lee and his sturdy missionary
workers and gave of the history of
the Methodist church in Oregon up to
the present time, with something of
tile personality of nearly all the famous
pioneer workers. General o Dell was
president of the Willamette board of
trustees for years and had much to do
with the early work of building the
school and Salem.
Among the interesting remarks made
by the various speakers was confirm
alton of the fact that the First Meth
odist church of Salem is the oldest or
gan:zed Methodist church on the Pa
cific coast; accounts of the recollection
of some of the time when the timber
was logged off to lay out the streets OF
the city; and the part that members
of the church had to do with that early
memorable convention at Champoag
wren by two votes it was decided thar
Oregon should be United States terri
tory rather than belong to Great Brit
all.
Supper was served to nearly 200
plates by the Ladies Aid society. DIR.

The evening opened with an Invocation
by DR. H. j. Talbot, followed by a
vocal solo by Miss Louise Benson, ac-
companied by Mrs. A. A. Schramm.

speeches was given:
