Since the evolution in organized
bombing developed rapidly and the
French began night bombing, but
this was not undertaken by the Ger

At the present time large groups,
including several squadrons of bomb
ing machines go over the line from
time to time and completely destroy
their objective, be it city or camp, a
column of troops, or a trench sys-
tenn. Unfortunately the allies air
forces have to travel for many miles
over hostile territory defended by
anti-aircraft guns to attact German
cities, while the enemy can attack
French cities by flying only a short
distance beyond the allied lines.
The allies are developing large
bombing planes which will carry suf-

they are attacked by fighting air.

UNITED EFFORTS WILL
BE NEEDED TO WIN WAR

This war is to be won not by one

Every American citizen has an in

American forces are the shorter will

PONDS SHOULD BE HELD
AS GOOD INVESTMENT

To successfully finance the war it
is necessary that owners of Liberty
nonds hold their bonds if possible.
Where for any good reason it is nee
tssary for them to turn their bonds
into cash they should seek the advice
oi their bankers.
Liberty loan bonds are very desir-
able investments, and crafty individ-
rals are using various means to Sc
cure them from owners not familiar
with stock values and like matters.
One method is to offer to exchange
fer Liberty bonds stocks or bonds of
doubtful organizations represented
as returning a much higher income
than the bonds.
There are various other methods
used and likely to be used some of
the gold-brick variety and others less
crude and probably within the limits
OF the law All offers for Liberty
bonds except for money and at mar
ket value should be scrutinized care
fully. The bonds are the safest OF
investments and have nontaxable
and other valuable features.
To hold your Liberty loan bonds,
if possible, is patriotic. To consult
your bankers before selling them Is
wise.

KANSAS LOOKING TO
D. A. c. FOR LAST WORD

Because they failed to control the
oodling moth this season with their
regular spray application the faggy
plantation of Hutchinson, Kan, ap-
pealed to the Oregon station for as
sistance. In a communication ad-
dressed to Lester Lovett, entomolo-
slst at o. A. c., they write in part
as follows:
For the first time in our orchard
experience of IS years we are failing
IN the matter of codling moth con-
troll and failing after successive ap-
plications of arsenate of lead made
IN a workman-like manner and thor
cugh. We would not intrude upon
your time and courtesy were it not
that we look to your station for the
last word in such matters as this
and especially since we have been
advised that you are the best in
formed man in the United States on
the subject of using spreaders in
connection with arsenate of lead and
other sprays"
While the work with spreaders for
arsenate sprays which Prof. Lovett
has under way are yet in the expert
ment stage, the results which he is
obtaining are sufficient that he feels
warranted in suggesting some pos
sible methods of increasing the effic-
iercy of the treatment which this
company is using for codling moth

Governor Beckett characterizes his re-

Carolina.
Governor Beckett is back at his Of
ice after two weeks in the out-of-the-
way places in North Carolina, and
talked of his experiences and of the
feeling in the state as he found it.
TIL governor was in Jackson county
when United States marshaps men
raided' a gang of deserters hiding out
in the hills and shot on of them. He
brought the news to Raleigh that since
the raid, the authorities have receiv-
ed assurances that the rest of the
deserters are willing to come in and
surrender.
Governor Bickett's speeches in the
west may have had not a little
to do with the change of heart. He
reminded the people that desertion
from the Confederacy was not punish
ed after the war because the Confed-
eracy was broken down, but that when
this war ends the United States will
never rest until every deserter is
brought to justice.
cit is sad to think of the loss to {
family and home to have loved one
shot down in battle, but it is infinitely
sadder, and shameful, too, to think that
one of these should be arrested and
shot as a deserter."

house adopted the conference report
on the bill to base draft quotas on
the number of men in Class1, accept
ing the elimination of it's amendment
authorizing credits on quotas for vol
unteers. The report awaits action in

Because of senate amendment ex-
empting ministerial and medical stu
dents, the house sent back to the con-
ferees the conference report on the
bill providing for the registration of
youths attaining the age of FL years
since the registration last June 5.
The vote on the rejection of the SEN
ate amendment was 1872 to 118. Repre-
sentative Mckenzie, of Illinois, sup
porting the house action, declared that
opposition OF thu drafting of divinity
students comes from men who have
money invested in theological semi
narles. Supporters of the amendment
said the President has authority under
the draft laws to exempt such students
from the draft, so that adoption or re-
lection of the proposal by the house
was immaterial.
Representative Cannon, of Illinois,
vigorously opposed the rejection of the
amendment giving States credit for
voluntary enlistments and was sup
ported by Representative Mondall, of
Wyoming, and Schallenberger, of Nc
bIaska, author of the amendment.
Chairman Dent, of the military COM
mittoe said he had not changed his
mind regarding the credits plan, but
since President Wilson, Secretary Ba-
, ker and Provost Marshal Crowder had
opposed it he would subordinate his
own desires

owing to the arrival of the hot weath-

Greene totals many thousand pounds
each day, and unofficial information
places at about 800 pounds the Dolly
consumption in each mess hall. Other
quantities of ice are required for va
rious purposes.
