His Presence Not Desirable

in Holland is causing grave appre-
hension and that the presence there

fame the people as to endanger the
monarchy.
While it is true, it was pointed out,
That the former Kaiser is practically
a prisoner in the Won Bentinck castle,
he is not the prisoner of any OF his
foes. 1t was suggested that the i'm
mediate fate of the Ex-Kaiser is of
lttle moment compared with other
affairs in Europe, his presence upon
an already disturbed state in the
Netherlands that he is the object Of
sorcern among allied statesmen.
Bolshevism apparently has taken
rAOt in Holland. Before the war the
relations between the Dutch and
German courts were very close, and
it is suggested that the Belsheviki
may see in the presence Of the form
er ruler of Germany an excuse to
precipitate an uprising against the
queen.

the matter of imposing punishment
on the ex-Kaiser and leading mem

responsible for German atrocities

Taking Inventory Of Germany's
Financial Condition.
Washington, Nov. 18.--Investiga-
ton of Germany's financial condition
has been undertaken by the allied
governments for the purpose Of as
certaining the ability of that coun.
try to reimburse the countries which
she occupied and for the damage to
property she committed.
1t has been learned from official
sources that Germany's debt now
amounts to IS billions of dollars,
mainly in bonds held by the people
of that country and this represents
two fifths Of the estimated resources
of the empire which total eighty bill
lions of dollars. Although there has
been no official announcement Of the
aggregate amount that the allies ex-
pect Germany to pay its is certain to
lun into billions of dollars and the
terms of course must be made ac-
cording to Germany's ability to pay.

MEMORIAL SERVICE
FOR ENOS FRETz
Who Fell in the Defense of His
Country and Human
Liberty
OCTOBER THE EIGHTH

The methodist church in this city
yesterday afternoon contained a
large audience to listen to the en-
choniums of praise bestowed upon
Enos Fretz, the brave young soldier
who fell in action for his country
and to break the shackles of slavery
that bound the feet of his fellow
men. The speakers were Rev. Mr..
Stanbury, pastor Of the Methodist
church and Col. Bruton.
Mr.. Stanbury explained that the
young man was a member of that
church and also q member Of the
Finch Baraca class. After devotion
al exercises and the reading of ap-
propriate resolutions by Mr.. D. T.
Perkins from the Finch class, Mr..
Stanbury stated that this young
man is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. P. B.
Fretz of this city and was a member
of this church and that we have met
here to honor the memory of one
who belonged to us and to our Sun
day School.
After the reading Of the resolu-
tions by Mr.. Perkins, Mr.. Stanbury
in the course of his remarks, ex-
planned that our young hero who
had Offer I'd up his life on the altar
of his country for all that is good
and great was born in Indiana and
came to this state about four years
ago. That he was 20 years Of age
and Joined the church last March.
That he tried to get into the Marine
Corps but that he failed in this un-
dertaking and later was inducted in
to the service at Suffolk where he
was employed at that time.
Mr.. Stanbury reiterated that this
was another instance brought so
forcibly home to us that we must
give up the very best we have when
great undertakings are in hand, for
it is our best that can be depended
on in struggle or crisis. Every
thing that is good, everything that
is great requires the highest sacri-
flee to attain. France gave her best
blood TO set her country free. She
murmured not neither did she COM
plain. 1t was all worth giving up
her life and her treasure that she
and her children and her children s
children might enjoy the priceless
boon of liberty, and America realiz-
ing that unless she stepped into the
breach the same fate awaited us
that was visited upon France, also
cast her lot with the allies and now
the oppressors heel has been brok-
en- and En0s Fretz has helped to do
it and his name rests among the i'm
mortals. 1t is glorious position in
which our country stands as the
champion of human liberty and it is
a glorious sacrifice this young man
has made for his fellowman, that he
has placed himself on his country's
altar and died that others might
live.
Mr.. Stanbury read a number of
letters showing the esteem in which
the young man was held by his COM
rades and particulars Of his death.

To the extent that politics is syn

the extent that continued support OF
President Wilson is politics, Mr..

was embodied in typewriter state
ment commenting on his defeat,
which Mr.. Ford made public yester-

of satisfaction out of his candidacy.

"The vote shows that in my home
city and county where l have lived
all my life, l got all the Democratic
votes and nearly half the Republic
can votes"
Mr.. Ford wound up his statement
by limiting at a possible recount Of
the vote in Michigan.
1T so, it will be for the purpose
of showing how our elections are
manipulated by the moneyed inter-
ests; nor will that cease with the
election" the statement continues

There is much activity in the Gar

county, so Commissioners B. F. Mich

and Roadmaster Germond returned
from there Saturday evening, having
gone down to look after the location
of a new road at Reedsport. This
road will begin near the railroad de-
pot and GROSS the Schofield river

ly known as Wades flat. The cost

Is estimated at over $4,000, and will
be paid mainly from district funds.
It will eventually form connection
with the road to Winchester bay.
Work on this road is to begin in
few weeks.
Several sawmills are being put
into operation in the lower Umpqua
region and along the Eugene-Coos
Bay railroad. The new mill at Gar
diner is in operation and work is
progressing on the two mills at
Reedsport. The Gardiner mill is to
begin shipping lumber on the cars
at East Gardiner. A novel plan is
to be put into operation for bringing
the lumber there from the mill, a
distance of about a mile and half.
The lumber will be placed on wagons
and these-two at time-will be
hauled to the railroad by an auto
mobile. Six wagons are to be util-
lied. With two loading, two unload
ing and two en- route steady stream
of lumber will be kept on the way
and several cars loaded every day.
Preparations are also being made
for bigger fishing season than ever
before. The cooperative cannery has
been moved to Reedsport and big
cold storage plant is also being in
stalled. 1t is estimated that about
so fishing boats will be employed
during the season. The high price
of salmon the past year has given a
great impetus to this industry.
The dairying interests are also
steadily growing along the lower
Umpqua and its tributaries, and this
is helping to bring in much wealth.

EXPLOSIVES LAW
MUST BE OBEYED

Harvey Wells, state fire marshal,
has issued a warning to those who
handle explosives that the material
must be closely guarded and that the
laws in regard to possession of it
must be strictly obeyed. The land
is full of alien enemies, and explo-
sives must be kept out of their hands
as far as possible, as it is we'll known
that a great deal of valuable property
has been destroyed by dynamite in
their hands in every state in the
Union since the war began. The
marshal's instructions are as fol-
lows:
"The governments new regula-
tions for the sale, handling and dis
posal of explosives of all kinds will
be scrupulously observed and un-
swervingly enforced in the state of
Oregon, and strict accountability will

BILE difference either in the finish of

Tests With Dairy Cows.
It was learned at the Florida sta
tion that y tons of beans in the pod
are equal to / ton Of cottonseed meal
for milk production, and can be pro-
duced at a great deal less cost. The
Georgia station found that 2,O95
pounds of velvet beans wer equal to
1000 pounds of cottonseed meal for
milk production, and that 51s
pounds of velvet beans produced
pound of milk as against pounds
of cottonseed meal to produce the
same amount.
HOg-Feeding Tests.
At the Alabama station a lot of 5
pigs of an average weight of 62
pounds were turned into field
where velvet beans had been grown
in corn after the corn crop had been
gathered. In addition the pigs were
fed half ration of mixture of corn
meal, 9 parts, and tankage, l part.
Another lot of pigs Of similar weight
was fed corn meal and tankage in a
dry lot. The pigs foraging the vel
vet beans made an average daily gain
per head of 1923 pounds fer period
of 70 days, requiring 0.3S of an acre
of beans and ITO pounds of concen-
trates for 100 pounds of gain. The
pig sin dry lot for the same period
made an average daily gain per head
of 0.S4 pound and consumed 400
pounds Of concentrates for 100
pounds of gain. In this experiment
an acre of velvet beans grown in corn
thus replaced over 600 pounds of
concentrates, or, in other words, re-
placed 10 bushels of corn.
Prices of Velvet Beans.
Velvet-bean meal, at October
prices, retailed at about $32 ton,
while whole beans in the pod were
selling for about $40 a ton. The
whole beans, the specialists say, are
practically equal to the meal for
feeding. The cost of grinding
$3.50 to SO ton-therefore, should
be saved, it is urged, by feeding the
beans whole. If the beans become
too dry and hard for pigs they may
be soaked for "a hours before feed
ing.

Feed Garbage to Hogs.


IF garbage in good condition is
fed with proper surroundings there
is no reason why pork from this
source should not compare favorably
with that from granted hogs"
This is a conclusion reached in Cir
cular No. 80, issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture on
the subject, Disposal of City Gar
bage by Feeding to Hogs" The cir
cular is a preliminary report of an
investigation conducted mainly in the
neighborhood of large cities in the
cast, and it is hoped that the in
formation, although incomplete, will
familiarize interested persons to the
extent that they can see the possibili-
ties in this business if 1t is intelll-
gently managed"
At no time in American history
has the elimination of waste been a
more emphatic necessity than at pres
ent, the circular points out If, en-
tirely aside from effecting an econ
omy in city management, the garbage
produced in cities and towns can be
used profitably in pork production, it
is urged that overy effort should be
made to convert 1t to this purpose.

advisory committee for the regulation
of explosives for the state of Oregon,
created by federal act of October 6,
1917, which took place in Portland.
The committee determined to launch
an extensive campaign Of education
and caution for the benefit of all con-
