URGES FARMERS TO KEEP
DRAINAGE bitches OPEN

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis, Nov. 26.-"Forward looking
farmers are keeping their surface
drainage bitches open during the
winter" says Prof. W. L. Powers Of
the college soils department. This
will enable them to begin work ear
lier next spring than IL the bitches
we're allowed to choke up and flood
the fields"
Farmers who have learned the
value of keeping the surface runs
open are more determined than ever
to allow no preventable surface
water on the lower areas. Weeds.
brush and vines are torn out and
piled for burning, and the dirt is re-
moved by plow or shovel. Soils thus
protected are less acid, more porous,
better aerated, and more retentive
of moisture.

THE PRICE OF DELAY

Says the Portland Telegram:
'eMultnomah county's hospital is in
adequate, unsanitary, and a fire
trap" II that is fact, now Is the
time to get busy. II that institution
is burned and lives are lost because
it is firetrap, those responsible for
its present condition win also be re-
sponsible for the burned victims.
Such is the price of procrastina-
alton. There have been too many
buildings that were not made safe
until after the charred bodies Of
those who were entrapped therein
were raked from the smouldering
embers.

CHANBERLAIN's IDEA

Senator George e. Chamberlain of
Oregon suggests that the United
States cancel the war debt Of the al
lies because the money loaned was
used to buy bread and bullets to help
us defend our homes"
That sounds, upon first thought,
like too much generosity on our
part-but Is it? It would mean a
debt Of a few billion dollars more for
us, but possibly not half so much as
we would have had to pay we're it
not for the fact that the allies did
most Of the fighting and sustained
casualties that makes the American
list appear very small, serious
though It is.
In reality, the money the allies
borrowed was a part of our expense.
This was a war in which there was
one aim, one object in view-to
crush Prussian militarism. The war
was coming; 1t was due. It was our
good fortune to be remote from the
abode of the arch-murderers. But
there is abundant, irrefutable proof
that the kaiser and his war lords
were thirsting for world dominion
and the great conflict could not be
averted.
Germany said America was too
money-rad to enter the war; that
money was our god and we placed II
above country, honor and glory
Would it not be an opportune time
to prove to the world Americas
greatness by cancelling the wal
debt Of the allies?
For three long. bloody years the
allies withstood the thrusts and bru'
tality of the Boche hordes bent up.
on shattering all nations save Aus.
tria and the un-Christian Turk. And
that little country that stood in the
path Of the grim monster, Prussian'
ism, stood unflinchingly at its post
and made the bravest fight that has
ever been recorded. Hopelessly out
numbered and realizing her doom
yet she did not falter when honol
and home were at stake, but manned
her guns until monster cannon and
overwhelming numbers of the enemy
bore her down. Her bravery saved
Paris, and possibly France. Hers
is the greatest glory and honor o.
al1-poor little Belgium where is
the man who would not rather shake
hands with King Albert than with
any other person in Europe?
The allies owe much to America
in dollars and cents-but America
owes much to the allies in flesh and
blood, something money cannot re.
place.
Here ds a chance for America tc
show her greatness.

it? At the first sign OF danger the
