HOW CAN I BEST SERVE MY COUN-
TRY IN ITS HOUR OF NEED?

To the Editor:
Every patriot in this state, has, no
doubt, seriously asked himself this ques.
ton many times within the last few
months when so much seemed to de-
pend on he individual effort Of each
citizen.
i was following the harrow across
the field the other day, and had been
wondering how we farmers ware going
to get our grain harvested, so that our
efforts to feed our people at home, and
our boys and the allies in the trenches
would not miscarry when an idea occur
red to me, hat if it could be put into
practice, would go very far toward
solving the difficult problem.
I had been in your city a few days
before, and had met the smiling faces,
and felt the warm hand.clasp of many
of our leading citizens God bless 'em),
who We're seeking in some capacity to
serve Me interests of their country or
the state.
I had noticed among the group, quite
a number of old thresher-men, men per-

that really cheered up the boys. As the
troop trains approached the north the
boys noticed a difference in their re-
ception. He writes; Gan the railroad
engines and factory and boat engines
almost wore out their whistles. All the

AUsTRIANs DESTROY FISH

Los Angeles, Cal, May 16.-A charge
that four Austrian fishermen wanton-
ly destroyed twenty tons of barracuda
off San Olemente Islands to maintain
high fish prices here, is being investi-I
gated today by federal authorities.
Federal agents, however, believe the
act was largely an unrriendly demon
stration against the United States with
the hope of making commercial fishing
poor for three months at least through
the scattering of tons of dead fish in
the water. The dead fish are said to
be floating in masses over the fishing

friendly spirit of the Interstate Com
merce Commission is an adverse factor
in these negotiations. Government oper.
alton of the railroads is now on trial
Circumstances are in its favor TO an
extraordinary degree, and great eonsc-
quenees depend upon its success or fail
ure as a huge experimnt.
In the bond market there has been
a fair degree of activity, attention be-
ing devoted chiefly to foreign issues
and some of the low priced domestic is
sues, which fell to very low prices be-
cause of long neglect and the current
high rates for money. There is no ques-
ton but that many of our best issues
put out by railroads, industrials, as
well as public service and municipal OBJ
legations, are selling at very low prices
compared with values in other direc-
tons. War initiation long ago forced
commodities and wages to excessively
high Levels. In securities there has been
practically no such initiation, and some
sort of equalization is inevitable. Eth
cs commodities and wages must decline
or investments must appreciate; and
just at present it seems as if evening
up would be an easier process than
levehng-down. At the same time the
outlook is full of unusual preplexities;
for the strain Of war threatens to be
long and severe Reverses may happen
az any period, ana all commitments ex-
tending INTO the future should be made
with exaeting care. The demands of war
ace sure TO keep the money market in
more OF less stringent condition, While
the outlook is hopeful and optimism is

necessary.

SPEAKS FOR MR.. SIMPSON.

l wish to say in regard to Mr.. l.. ],
Simpson that l have known him for
the last thirty years, and know he is the
man to be ,,he governor of the State
of Oregon. AS far as l know he will re-
ceive the majority of the votes in our
district, because he is a man, and from
what l have heard (and know pretty
well) he will carry the whole of Coos
county and sweep it clean, as they have
known him so long and know that he
has always been a man for the people.

l also knew Mr.. Simpson S father.
Years ago l ran the stage in the Coos
country and drove the "old man" and
'Louie" over the road many times, so
know them both very well personally.
Mr.. l.. j. Simpson is well endorsed
down there. He is for the laboring class
and considered the man for the labor
ing class in that part of the country;
all have endorsed him. He must be q
pretty good man when the whole COM
munity is back of him, and have en-
dorsed him.

ON SHIPPING

Editor journal: In a recent is
sue you referred to the shipping Of po-
ltatoes and stated that California had
enough of their own and that it would
be a risk in shipping to Texas, because
they would not accept the Oregon
grade. There is still another reason
why it would be risky. There are parts
of Texas where they raise stock only
and the rice men raise rice exclusive
ly, but in the coast regions generally,
potatoes are planted in the fall and
early winter (f you call it winter),
and harvested in April and while in
the central coast CT Texas they have
ordinarily 40 inches of rain fall, but
last autumn was exceptionally dry SO
that potato harvest may be a little late
but is surely on by this time, and new
potatoes at this time of year are gem
orally shipped north. We received a
letter from a friend dated the second
day of May which reads as follows:
"Our corr is waist high and fathers
corn is tasselng out" Corn is planted
the first part off February and ripens
in June. Vegetables in general are
in the fall and grow during
winter. Rice and cotton are planted in
March, so you see there is no rush at
seeding time but Texas is so large and
the parts differ and they have all
kinds of seasons, temperatures, rain
fall, etc. The coast is the coolest part
of Texas on account of the gulf breez-
es. 1t is cheaper, better and more pa
to cat all the potatoes WI car
and avoid buying by -products at in
flated prices ana plant an abundance
of potatoes, as We believe this will be

You apply just a few drops on the
tender, aching corn or toughen,S: -

relieved, and soon the corn or callus
is so shriveled that it lifts out with
out pain. 1t is a sticky substance
which dries when applied and never

 From the above facts and suppositions, We conclude that if a good naturalized citizen hears that he is suspected Of being against our country, instead Of threatening those whose duty and au thority give them the right to investigate him he would court 8 thorough investigation. He would help them to clear up the clouds, He would help them to set at rest all incidents which may have led to the suspicion. On his failure to do so, the proper authority would be justified. not only 10 investigate him; but lock him up at once and investigate after; for he is dangerous character. Such is our opinion in all such cases. We are at war. therefore we cannot afford to take chances.
