SPOKANE SOLDIERS
WARN SOCIALISTS
WARN l. w. w. AGITATORS THAT
DISLOYALTY WILL NOT BE
TOLERATED

Following the speech of George F
Vanderveer, the l. w. W. attorney il
! Chicago, at a socialist meeting at 3Os
Sprague avenue, last night, some 6(
! soldiers and sailors, home on fur
lcugh, all in Uniform, entered the
4 hall, drove out those still lingering
to speak to Mr. Vanderveer, turned
out the lights and announced through
their leader: go
"You fellows want to overturn the
government, do you? Well, we are
not going to have any bolsheyiki
here Just take warning. We are going
to have no more of these Sunday meet
linxs"
| Woman Upbraids Soldier.
"Send for the. police" insistently
suggested one of those present, but
| no one took his counsel and no one
else offered resistance by word or
act, filing out silently except one slight
woman who sputtered her indignation
saying, "The beasts. Uncle Sam has
been teaching them something" Out
side, she addressed her remarks to one
of the soldiers, who started to argue
with her. Come on, let the lady
alone" shouted half dozen of his COM.
rades, to which he replied, IT wasn't
arguing. I was just explaining to her"
Soldiers Scatter Crowd.
Having accomplished their purpose
the soldiers and sailors promptly left.
Later seeing that about so of the crowd
remained outside the hall, discussing
their eviction, the boys returned and
scattered them.
Two returned soldiers in civilian UNI
forms were present during the early
part of Vanderveer's talk, others of the
soldiers explained. Disliking his adj
herence to the bo1sheviki of Russia and
his attitude toward the United States,
they Immediately went out, passing the
word as to what was going on and they |
quickly had large sized following. |
They also said the speaker declared his |
pleasure to speak here without police
Says Capital is Bothered.
In his speech Vanderveer said in sub
stance:
"The capitalists are facing situa-
ton which they know may act as it
has in Russia and Germany They are
facing a reconstruction period and are
bothered. People see clearly when they
are hungry and they are hungry in Rus

two crops are made and we suppose
that an average yield of seven tons
OF beets be secured each year, we can
safely figure that the corn crop will
average like yield of silage. The
Great Western Sugar Refining com
pany shows that the average Yields
OF beets in northern Colorado under
irrigation from 1911-15 was onIv
12.4 tons, so that seven tons would
be very high under conditions in
northern Idaho.
When the yield of these two crops
is placed on the basis of dry matter,
seven tons Of beets would amount to
about l.75 tons of dry matter and
5.25 tons of tops would contain about
three-fourths OF a ton of dry matter,
making total of 2.5 tons of dry mat
ter from the entire beet crop. A
yield OF seven tons of corn silage hay-
ing fair percentage of ears would
produce approximately 35 per cent of
dry matter, or total Of 2.45 tons.
When based on dry matter produced.
if the beet tops were also untitled
for feed the yield from the two crops
would be nearly the same.
There, is little question but that the
farmer would prefer to grow corn.
when the yield of dry matter was
equal to that from beets; the cost Of
production less, and the ease of hand
ling the crop in favor of the corn.
When we compare the acreage which
could be handled by the stock farmer.
the corn crop would still be favored
The last question is that of the
yield of wheat following the two
crops. If the corn were used for
silage, and it should be grown for
that purpose on the stock farm. the
crop could be removed from the field
from two to three weeks before the
beets would be ready to harvest.
There is little question but that the
beets leave the soil in excellent con-
dition, but the same is true with corn
ground if we'll cultivated during the
summer. The remaining corn stalks
could be disked under and the crop
planted, and even if left standing
would aid in preventing winterkilling
IF the wheat. If the corn were de-
sired as a grain crop, the wheat
could be drilled between the rows with
! one horse drill as is commonly
oracticed in many of the corn-be1t
states.
ACCORDING TO experiments conducted
~ the United States department of
agriculture at Akron, Colorado, sugar
,eets required 377 pounds of water to
produce 1 pound Of dry matter, while
orn only required 369 pounds to pro-
luce the same amount of dry matter.
thus, the corn crop would remove less
water from the soil and consequently,
nore should be available to the wheat
rop following.
Some question may be raised as to
he possibility of growing corn in
daho, but there is little doubt as to
IS success, provided the varieties or
trains are adapted to the climatic
nd soil conditions in the locality. A
ubstitute crop of pease and oats
ould be used for silage with fair
lccess in those localities at very high
attitudes where corn might not be
rown.

KERENSKY is COMING

Kerensky, erstwhile Russian leader, is expected to land
at some Atlantic port within a short time. This is the
news sent over the wires yesterday. 1t is stated he is
to use his influence in preventing this government
assisting the Bolsheviki financially. His influence will
perhaps not reach far. He had his chance in Russia with
the people behind him but was too weak to maintain his
position. 1t required a man of iron nerve such as Porfiric
Diaz of Mexico to have controlled that mob of freshly
freed serfs, and Kerensky unfortunately was a dreamer
lie had along with countless other Russians a vision of
Utopia, a new world where everything and everybody wa,
pure, good and devoid of trickery. 1t did not take hin
long to discover there "ain't no such place" but by the
time the discovery was made Kerensky was down and
Gutski. The Germans are proving Russia's best friend by
their contemptuous treatment of Russians, and showing
them that under German domination they would be i'm
measureably worse off than under the car. There is no
Utopia about the world as the Germans show it to these
foolish dreamers and as they have awakened from their
dream through the rough treatment of the Germans they
will not soon forgive them. Kerensky however can do no
good by coming to America, and fortunately he can do
no harm either.

Little Uruguay served notice on Germany a few days
ago to the effect that Germany must define her position
toward that country. A submarine had held up a steam
er on which a mission from Uruguay was travelling to
France, and detained the mission. The little country
stated in plain terms that if Germany considered herself
at war with Uruguay, that Uruguay would at once de-
clare war on her. The reply was that Germany was not
fighting Uruguay. The kaiser probably finds it neces-
sary to keep one or two of the civilized countries of the.

"oVER THE TOP IN FoRTY-EIGHT HOURS"

The week of May 20-27 has been fixed as the date OF
the second Red Gross war fund campaign to raise
$100,00,000 for Red Cross war work.
Willamette Chapters enthusiastic workers have seen
fit to adopt as a slogan, cover the Top in FOrty-Eight
Hours" which, if realized, and there is no reason why ii
should not be, will materially reduce the time officially
set aside and work still further and splendid economy for
our busy people in this, their busiest season.
Let it be said again, and as often as possible, that it is
just exactly this spirit of vigorous. energetic, wholesouled
action on the part of the enemies Of German autocracy
everywhere that will win this war and win it decisively;
and on the other hand, it is the sleepy, ~slow-poke methods
of indecision on indifference that will just as surely spell
defeat.
The first Red Cross war fund was raised because the
people realized, with the President Of the United States,
that the American Red Cross could play a great part in
the winning of the war. The spirit of the people was
further based on their knowledge of the traditions of the
Red Cross and their confidence in the men the President
had appointed to head it. They did not know, nor did the
leaders of the Red Cross know, what its full scope
would be.
E face different conditions in the second Red Cross
campaign. The vast amount of money entrusted to the
leaders of the Red Cross has been largely spent. We
have a record of performance and we now have a more
definite picture of our future responsibilities.
The public realizes that the Red Cross performs a very
important work in cooperating with our army and navy
in the care of wounded and in the general comfort of the
soldiers and sailors. They do not know as fully that the
Red Cross is performing a great lew task of vast i'm
p0rtance In helping pay the debt we owe those nations
who for three years have borne the brunt of this great
struggle.
The fact that our Red Cross, by the broadcast kind Of
relief work, is strengthening and ~heartening our allies,
is one which will be brought home to all our people in this
campaign, and we know that their recognition of it, added
to their knowledge of its other work, will bring forth the
fullest measure of support.
Let every one adopt, without an instant's hesitation,
the slogan of the local committee, "Over the Top in AZ
Hours; let each make the immediate personal application
of that slogan and see to it that no delay Of his or hers
shall cause the failure to realize it.

Now that it has been found reasonably easy to sink
ships close to the harbors as wa done at Zebrugge and
Ostend, why would it not be a good plan to sink a number
of them in these harbors or any other where the sub
marines may find egress. With the submarines sinking a
dozen vessels a week the allies might as well sacrifice
three or four times that many and fill the harbors up.
They might as well sink them as have the U-boats do it,
for the toll taken in a few weeks would be as great as the
loss incurred in filling a few harbors.

it has been light such as cutting weeds along The track
and removing debris of all kinds from near the same.
They all wear o~veralls and apparently like the "new

such work in this country, but if the war lasts it will soon

There has been remarkable increase in the acreage
planted to wheat in Washington, the total being estimated
at 2,281, 900 acres. With a yield of rs bushels to the acre
this would place Washington second in the list of wheat
growing states, Kansas producing around 100, 100000
bushels with the next in line about half as much. The
rs bushels an acre would give Washington a yield of 81
5000 bushels which is ten million bushels more than
the estimated crop of any state except Kansas.
