NO PAVING DURING
PROGRESS OF WAR

According to the Eugene Guard,
R. A. Booth, state highway commits
sioner, and Herbert Num-, state high
way engineer, have completed an in
spection of the Pacific highway over
the entire distance between Portland
and the California state line. They
report the road in very good shape
except where traffic is being inter-
fered with by work. At such places
the road is bad, and causes much
annoyance.
Most of the principal contracts are
supposed to be finished by July J.,
after which the road will be in good
shape the entire distance Some por-
tions of the road will be surfaced
this year to protect the grades and

ever, until the close of the year, ex-

PORTLAND WILL NOT
\ TOLERATE IDLE MEN

Portland, May 22.-An ordinance
went into effect today whereby all
persons physically able must work
at some useful occupation. The po-
lice will take a census of the idlers
and also Of the municipal employ
nlent bureau and clearing house for
those needing work. This ordinance
is aimed particularly at the men of
means who refuse to work.
There are many idlers in this
state, and in fact all over the coun-
try, who not only refuse to follow
any useful occupation, but are a him
drance to the welfare of a commun,.
ity and to the successful conclusion
of the war" said Mayor Baker.
with the present acute shortage of
labor, both farm and industrial,
such idlers will not be tolerated."

ly those of Great Britain and France,
are made up of a citizen soldiery,
men from all walks Of life shaken
out of their comfortable ruts, who
find it hard to adapt themselves to
military life.
This lack of adaptibility puts men
in the position of constantly sup
pressing fear and the continued men
tai conflict is responsible for great
nervous strain.
Shell shock is a combined prod
uct of number of things which
might be listed as: The almost un-
precedented fatigue of military serv-
ice at the front; lack of perfect adap-
tation to military life; responsibility,
lack of sleep, life under the most
trying of conditions, suppression Of
the fear of being afraid, irregularity
of meals"

OREGON BEANS VERY
GOOD FOR CANNING

The table quality of Oregon beans
Is equal to those Of any other part
of the country, and the bean indus
try should be made permanent. In
support of this statement, Prof G. R.
Hyslop, of the o. A. G. experiment
station, quotes from letter received
from the famous H. j. Heinz, makers
of the we'll known 81 varieties of
pure food products, as follows:
We did not get opportunity to buy
any Of these beans, but we have
some samples. However, we are in
clined to think they would be very
good for canning purposes and natur-
ally are interested in knowing the
outcome of last seasons efforts.
This statement of quality coming
from the manufacturers of bean pro-
ducts of the very highest quality
should be very encouraging to Ore
gon growers" says Prof. Hyslop.
"The bean crop is too valuable a cul-
tivated crop to be on any other than
a firmly established basis. The larg-
est problems for us are the choice
of early maturing varieties, harvest
ing and threshing promptly, and the
careful grading and standardizing to
get the advantage of the best mar
ket.
"By centralizing on Lady Wash
ington and Mexican tree beans, and
following right methods of harvest
ing and grading, Oregon may become
famous for bean production. Because
they are a leguminous, cultivated
cash crop, they are particularly de-
sirable in Oregon cropping and ro-
tation systems"

CONTROLLING FOOD PRICES
(Valdosta Times)

"A great many people who have been
accustomed to going to the grocery
stores and buying what they please
much or little-do not understand
why they cannot do so now. They do
not understand why the law requires
them to buy cereals along with flour,
on a ffty-fifty basis. Some Of them
think that they are being deprived
OF liberty"
If it were not for governmental
control" many of those who are kick
ing now would not be able to get ev
en- the amount the law allows them
to have.
The government took over certain
foot crops and the fuel supply in or
der that all classes of citizens might
share alike. 1t was to prevent the
speculator from running away with
the supplies. 1t was TO prevent the
rich man from getting all the flour
and leaving the poor man only meal
ana corn.
The law says to the wheat grower,
fiour-mill man, wholesale dealer and
retailer-that they shall not charge
more than certain amount for their
products. 1t also tells them that they
cannot sell more than certain
amount to one customer.
