The Flea.

The flea Is one OF the most annoying
Of household pests. In many cases
feas are bred on dogs or cats, and the
first thing to be done Is to eliminate
the source Of supply. II the animal Is

rubbed into the hair, or a cre0lin wash,
may be effective Remove all carpets
and similar articles and scrub the
floors thoroughly with hot soapsuds
or lye, being careful to get into every
crack and creyice. Bleas thrive In dirt
and do not like to be disturbed.

GERMAN INVASION OF
india ONLY A DREAM
Of VON HINDFN BURG
Cannot Even Send Am Army
to Drive British From
MeSOpOtamia
Rv ]. w. T. Mason.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, March 9.-Germany 's
boast of the establishment of an un
interrupted route to India through the
Russian Caucasus, Persia and Afganis
tan, IS an empty victory that can serNe
no purpose except to tantalize Won
Hindenburp by its impossibilities.
India is as safe from a German In
vasion as Great Britain itself. The
difficulties of transportation and the
lack of German troops, even without
the fierce hostility of the Afghan
tribesmen, are enough to make the
German dream wholly impracticable
1t would be far more important for the
Germans if they could recover Bagdat
for the Turks and drive the British
out of Mesopotamia. Yet in this area
of hostilities, so much easier of access
than India, Won Hindenburg is unable
to do anything. He cannot even carry
out the kaiser's promise to send an
army to attack Egypt, whore the trans
portation problem is still less difficult.
With these urgent problems so much
nearer home awaiting solution at the
hands of the perplexed German gen
oral staff, there is no chance that
serious consideration will be given in
Berlin to an attack on India. If Won
Hindenburg were to attempt so un-
profitable an adventure, he would meet
inevitable defeat and would weaken
himself in the principal theaters of the
war.
Reports of German war prisoners in
Siberia organizing to fight the Rus
slams in possession of that country do
not take into consideration the diff
ficulties of securing munitions. There
have been no indications that there are
great stores of war supplies scattered
throughout Siberia. The principal
store center is about Vladivostok. II
has not yet been explained how the
German prisoners can march unarmed
on Vladiyostok and seize the supplies
located there, without news of their
purpose preceding them. If the prison
ers attempted campaign of this ma
ture, they would be dealt with as a
mob. No advantage is gained by re
garding German war prisoners as

SUPERVISORS WILL
BE kept ALL YEAR
Pig Clubs Show Wonderful
Increase and May Have
1000 Members

At a meeting Of the county board
Nof education yesterday afternoon, it
was decided that the school supervisors
should be retained in office during the
two summer months. In the past they
have been working but 10 months, but
in order that they may keep the work
of the clubs going, it was decided to
iextend their term to cover the whole
year.
Supervisors J. W. Smith and w. q.
Hopper were both in Salem today, and
report that the pig club work is hav-
ing good effects. There are now ii
banks in the county which are backing
pig club members, and the total mem
ibership for the county, they state, will
not be less than 500 and may go as
high as 1000. The number of members
in the county last year was less than
hundred.
The Oregon Agricultural college is
back Of the pig club movement, and
all the instruction is given from Cor
wallis. The banks of the county, how
ever. are asked to loan prospective
members the necessary money to start
in business, and this is paid back out
of the profits on the pig.
At the present time banks in St
Paul Donald. Aurora, WOodburn, Mt
Angel. Silverton, Turner, jefferson
two in Stayton, and the First Z. s
National bank Of Salem are backing
club members. This viii probably be
increased in the near future, the su-
pervisors believe.

ARRANGE DRIVE FOR

Enthusiastic Meeting Last
Night Plans Work for
Raising Funds

One of the most enthusiastic meet
ings of the kind ever held in Salem re-
suited from the emergency call sent out
by Chairman Huckestein of the com
mittee of 100, who asked for a public
meeting at the Commercial club last
night. A plan for a drive covering the
entire city was proposed by the com
mittee, appointed at the last meeting,
and headed by Walter Denton, and this
plan was adopted after a discussion
had shown that it was the most prae-
teal means of providing the Red Cross
more money.
The city is to be divided into dis.
tricts, with a captain in each. Each cap
tain will appoint a leader for each
block in the city limits, and they
will secure the contributions, and make
the collections each month.
Many interesting talks were made last
night at the meeting. Judge Curtis mad-

ratification of the federal prohibition
amendment to the constitution.
The drys claim "a votes in the senate,
where twenty six are needed to win and
seventy eight or over half the member
ship in the assembly, indicating big
drift to that side of the question in the
last week. Another angle to be consid-
cred is the fact that while many of
the legislators are personally opposed to
prohibition, many Of the districts which
they represent have voted dry and it
would be political suicide for them to
vote against the ratification.
The real fight will begin next Monday
afternoon whsn the senate committee
on retrenchment and taxation holds a
hearing on two prohibition bills now
pending, one calling for war time pro-
hibition, beers and light wines excepted,
called the Emerson bill and the other

The United Press today is able to pre-
