and those OF the sucking type, Com

This, says DR.. Mclean. is our
greatest menace. With our ''postern
gate" insuificiently guarded. there is
real danger OF German invasion
from the south. The same view is
expressed by Col. Leader. the Brit
ish veteran who is now In command
OF the student battalion at the Uni
versity OF Oregon. Colonel Leader
freely predicts an invasion from that
quarter.
Carranra, says. DR.. Mclean. is
pro-German as much as he dares to
be. and this country made great
mistage when his government was
recognized and allowed to live. He
represents but very small portion
OF his people. It Is pointed out that
Carranza does not dare trifle with
the governor OF Chihuahua and sew

keeps his hands OF to avoid trouble.
That German has been feeling for

DIR. MCLEAN ON MEXICO

DR.. Robert Mclean. assistant sec
retary Of the Presbyterian board OF
home missions. inc charge Of the
Spanish work OF that board. told
some startling facts with regard to
MEXICO in his address at Bethany
Presbyterian church Sunday morn
ing. The facts presented are OF
such serious concern to this country
that they should no longer be over
looked or neglected.
DR.. Mclean, who Is an authority
on the subject. stated emphaticallv
that II the present world war con-
tinues for another year that Ger
many will strike at this country
through Mexico. Within the past
four years. he said, no less than s0,-
900 Germans have flocked into Mex
ico from South and Central Amer
ica. Other thousands have gone
across the border from the United
States since the beginning OF the
war. These facts were given DR..
Mclean by a Mexican In position to
know the truth. And from other evi-
dences at hand there Is no room to
doubt them.
Mexico is country OF 1900, 900
people. OF these, 100000 are
pure Indians. according to figures
published by G. ". Barron: 5.000,-
900 are mixed Spanish and Indians,
and the remaining 100000 are
pure Spanish. This congiomerated
Latin-Indian mass Is divided into
two more groups-2o per cent edu-
Gated and the remaining 80 per cent
ignorant, inflamable peasants. The
smaller group Is the governing class
and the larger body Of the people
has nothing whatever to say about
their government. And apparently
they care little.
DR.. Mclean made the statement
that four out OF FIVE Mexicans are
pro-German. Germany has culti-
waited them, planned and connived
with them and taught hatred Of
America to them until they are sat
urated with II and the entire grin
go" population is held in distrust.
They are taught to think OF Ger
many and Japan as their natural al
lies in a conflict with the United
States. Their arms and ammunition
are made in Germany, as was evi-
denced the other day when guns TAX

borders is more than possibility.

The fly carries filth on its hairy

Flies Spread Disease.-They infect
milk, bread, butter with disease
germs. They are found wherever
there is filth. To control this danger
to health, their breeding place must
be removed.

To trap the fly is better,
No fly at all is best.

OUR BANK SAVINGS SAFE
UNLESS GERMANY WINS

There seems to have been very IN
sidious propaganda carried on, obvl-
ously by secret agents of Germany,
TO the effect that savings banks de-
posits are to be confscated. 1t is dlf-
ficult to believe that any person IN
America would credit such a report
for an instant. Secretary McAdoo
SAYS that the absurdity of these state
ments is manifest, but in order to
alIay the fears of few who might be
alarmed by such reports, he repeats
officially that these rumors are who'll
ly baseless.
There is but one thing that will in
the least put in danger of confisca-
ton the savings of the American peo-
pie, whether deposited in savings
banks or other banks or invested in
Liberty Bonds or any other invest
ments, and that one thing is a Ger
man victory. 1t is not the American
Government that our people should
fear, but the German Government,
and with the American soldiers fight
ing as they are in America, the Amer
lean people supporting their Govern
ment as they are in America, the
American people, their liberty, their
rights, and their savings are safe.
Bhe United States instead Of con-
fiscating or endangering the savings
and other property of its people is

the irresistible might of this invinci-

mitchell THOUGH WEALTHY,

1t is hard to think Of John Purroy

William Heyliger in September Boys

strength, in their sense of freedom,
and in their glorious vision from the
heights. And mitchell died like an
eagle in it's flight.
He was an American. Born of a
family comparatively wealth, he did
not leave the responsibilities of living
for other mems shoulders. Instead, he
worked as hard as poor boy with his
own way to make. He was educated
for the law. He wanted a legal ca
reer. But he put his personal inclin-
ations aside when the call came for

LABOR-SAVING DEVICES ARE
CHEAPER THAN COFFINS

Many Southern farm women, es-
pecially, are doing work that is much
too hard for them. We recall the
case of tenants wife who was bur-
led about year ago-and her case is
only one in thousands. She had five
small children to care for; she tended
the garden; she did the cooking! she
did the milking; she did the washing
for the whole family. It was too much
so she became thin and frail-an easy
victim for disease.
And so she died-and no one who
knew of the case doubted but that a
washing machine and few other la
bor-saving machines would have saved
her life. But the tenant didn't have
the money to buy these things-nor
did he have the money to pay for his
wifes funeral expenses. 1t was case
of borrow for one purpose or another,
though he did not realize it soon
enough.
A great many of us need to learn
that strength should be conserved
that labor saving machines and de-
vices are cheaper than doctors bills
and shrouds and coffins-and that it is
better to borrow money to keep
health than to borrow money to bury
the dead.-The Progressive Famer.
