vegetable gardens about now are valu-
able form Of property and should be pro-
tected. When offenders are caught, they
should be given the limit Of the law.
Garden robbery is the result of the
very free feeling that many people have
had about stealing fruit. It was former
ly considered that boys could not be
blamed for robbing the trees of the
neighborhood. Many people, when COM
plants were made, would laugh and say,
"Boys will be boys" and would not do a
thing to stop it. Now we have brought
up a lot Of people WHO regard petty thiev-
cry as only a joke. BUT these are times
of high prices, when the government
asks us to raise food to win the war with.
The man who has worked hard over his
patch sees no humor in this thievery, and
The will not trifle with these pilferers.

promoters into purchasing worthless

The man who solicits you to exchange
your Liberty Bond for an Investment

GARDEN ROBBERS

And now look out for stealthy figures
creeping into the back yards Of Logan
at. dead Of night with bags on their
shoulders. With abundant fruit, it is
more than ever a temptation to sneak
thieves. Some people take wide trail
out through the country in an automo-
bile, fill large bags and return in tri-
umRh.
Garden thieving is about the meanest
kind Of robbery. After people have put

hot weather, to see the cream of their
product carried off by sneaks who don't
take the trouble to feed themselves. Well
it is not surprising that the demand for

PLAN NOW FOR NEXT YEARS
SUGAR CROP

We are beginning to feel the SUI
gar shortage. and we will feel =
greater shortage before the 1919
sugar crop comes in. according to
Prof Alvin Kezer. Of the Colorado
Agricultural College.
Now is the time to commence to
plan for the 1919 planting. The
government has shown its willing
ness to protect the grower with
fair price. The grower should make
his plans now to help protect the
supply by planting fair acreage of
good sugar beet lands. The 1870
crop should be increased. Care
should be taken that this increase
comes on lands adapted for sugar
production. The best sugar beet land
should be planted. Lands not cap
able in ordinary seasons of producin
sugar crop should be planted to
wheat.

IF WE ARE TO WAGE WAR ATT ALL

Under date of July 2, 1918, Scott Fer
ris. Oklahoma Congressman, Chairman
of the Democratic National COMPRESSION
al Committee, has put out letterhead OF
the House Committee on Public Lands
Boosting Of the record Of the administra.
ton "during the fourteen months OF
war;" and enclosing copy OF President
Wilson's last address to Congress, which
he begins with this statement:
IF we are to wage war at all, we should
wage it vigorously"
In other words the Chairman Of the
Democratic National Congressional COM
mittee himself raises question Of doubt
as to whether we should be waging war.
IF we are to wage war at all" certainly
involves question as to whether we
should be waging war.
The question Of whether or not we are
to wage war is of the past. We are at
war. 1t is no time for the chairman of
the Democratic Congressional committee
to be issuing an implied apology for
state of war. We are at war. There are
no "ifs" about it, and no "ifs" should be
talked about by the man who has charge
Of the Democratic campaign for control
Of the next Congress.
II. Chairman Ferris had said: "If we
are to have O Congress at all, we should
have a Democratic Congress-" the state
ment would Involve that there is some
question about whether we should have
a Congress. If he had said: IF we are
to have politics at all this year, it should
be Democratic politics." it would imply
that there should be no politics. When
he says: IF we are to wage war at all,
we should wage it vigorously" it is an
apology to every voter who is opposed to
the war. Otherwise Chairman Ferris
would have said: 1--WE should wage the
war vigorously" and let it 60 at that.
We are at war. The next Congress
should not be under the control Of men
who are disposed to apologize for that
state Of affairs, after they have as con-
gressmen voted for war and ask for re-
election on the ground that we are in
war. This is no time for apologies, or
for concessions to pacifist or disloyal
sentiment. We are at war. And the
Democratic National Congressional Com
mittee is headed by a man who starts a
campaign letter with the phrase: IF we
are to wage war at all."-The National
Republican.

KEEPING UP ADVERTISING

If one will take the trouble to look over
the metropolitan newspapers, he must
see that the great department stores are
advertising just as usual. 1t is hard
time for retail stores, as prices are high.
Still people are earning more money, and
there is an abundance of money in circu-
lation.
So any business man who lies down
and says that times are so hard that he
can't advertise, is afiling TO take advan-
tage Of good chances. The people are
going to buy lot Of goods this fall. They
are Of course wearing old clothes and
economizing wherever they can. Put
they have been doing that for more than
year now. There comes time when
renewals have to be made.
Reference has been made to the big
city department stores, not because these
places have any better bargains than the
home merchant, but because they do
skillful publicity men, who make an ex-
pert study Of how to appeal to the pub
loo mind.
If they keep on advertising literally,
they do it because they know there Is
still money in retail trade, and that It
pays to tell the public what you have and
push for new business. They spend mon
ey for advertising scientifically, as re-
suit Of the most exhaustive experiment.
fthey can increase their sales through
their great and costly advertising, the
home merchant can do the same thing in
manner fairly proportioned to his vol.
ume of business. Our peOnle were never
before SO keen for bargain. They do
not expect low prices. If you merely
show them that they will make saving
by buying at present prices, in view Of
prospects Of advance, they have sense
enough to anticipate the market. There
never was time when judicious adver-
Using was more necessary.

resent the fact our president by
diplomacy did much to make
the German government capi-
tulate while the enemy army
was still able to fight and could
perhaps have held on for sew
eral months or a year.
A thing many critics of the
president have overlooked is
the fact he has been faced
with a serious responsibility
for the soldiers who serve our
government. He is the eXecu-
tive, it was his task and the
task of our government to win
the full results with the mini
mum loss. President Wilson
strove to that end and he at
tanned success. But for his eff
forts and the efforts of other
allied statesmen in backing
him up we do not know what
names might have found places
on our casualty reports. From
a strictly military standpoint
the war was not scheduled to
close until next summer or
fall. In that time our losses
could have been doubled or
trebled.
In going to France the presi-
dent was prompted by a desire
to leave nothing undone that
could be done towards just
and lasting peace. Peace with
freedom and democracy was
our goal. For that goal brave
men have paid the price with
their lives. The United States
and the world should by no

safe and to help arrange affairs
so that future wars will be ta-

brought criticism, from the op-
position party and from some
of his own party, yet he has
played the manly part. He

of things. He is serving the
nation and the world. His role

HOW THE FORESTS CON.
SERVE.

~ HAT the forest cover
VI holds back the melting
snow in the spring. thus
making the water available
later in the season when more
needed for irrigation purposes,
is indicated by the results of a
snow study made on the Des-
chutes National Forest, in Ore
gon, and the Wenatchee and
Columbia National Forests, in
Washington, by the Forest
Service. A report of this
study, compiled by Forest Ex-,
aminer A. A. Griffin, wasspub-
lished in a late issue of the
Monthly Weather Review. Re
prints of this report have lust
been mailed from District For
ester George E. -Cecil's office
to the field men of the dist
rict.
For the past three winters
measurements of snow depths
in the open and at closely SINH
lar places in the forests have
been made by forest officers.
1t has been found that as the
snow disappeared in the open
there was on an average seven
teen inches of snow left in the
woods, enough to make a layer
of water seven and one-half in
ches deep. 1t took from one to
six weeks longer for the snow
to disappear from the foFested
areas; the average length of
time being seventeen days.
