Ask State Emergency
Board for More Money

o. A. c., Corvallis, Ore, June s7.-
Additional funds are needed for the
completion of the State lime plant at
Gold Hill. The 0regonian state lime
board will renew its application for
$4,000 additional funds at the next
meeting Of the state emergency board.
Detailed reports Of progress thus far
were submitted at a meeting Of the
lime board at the Oregon Agricultural
College by Dean A. B. Cordley, chair
man of the board, and Charles Murphy
Of Salem, secretary.
The board finds it necessary to
mark time until additional money is
forthcoming" commented Dean Cord
ley. "The plant would be ready for
operation by July Is if the funds were
at hand.
''The board believes that II is only
good business to complete the plant
this summer rather than to have to
stand the extra expense of providing
for the care and housing Of the ma.
ehinery. This 100000 plant is now
nearly ready for operation. The de-
mand for lime is urgent and the i'm

'APPUU ON BANQUE!
B|LLATSAN ANTONIO
SaIsm Boy Tells AbcEt Life
n Texas Camp Where
Weather Is Hot

Arthur Tasto, who is stationed at
Fort Sam Houston, near San Antonio,
Texas, in the mechanical repair shops
of the Q. II. c., writes as follows as
to what the Oregon boys are doing
down in that hot country in and
around "San Tone":
Last Friday all the Oregon boys
had banquet at the Menger hotel,
San Antonio. There was about 40
present and also Captain Warrens, the
adjutaut general. He is from Portland,
fine fellow and we are very glad to
have him. Some do not like him very
well as he is strict, but he is a real
man.
ON bet you couldn't guess what we
started the banquet with. Well it was
" "Appluju, !" made in Salem. 1t was a
chicken supper and wes all enjoyed it
so much because we do not very often
get such as that. We also had plenty
Of music, rather jazzy, but it was
music nevertheless. Music was furn-
ished by al Oregon boy, and two boys
from Indiana who were adopted as
0regonians.
"'The rains in Texas are severe but
not very lengthy. When it does rain
it is best to seek shelter. The storms
come up very suddenly, usually after
a few days Of warm weather and are
accompanied by wind.
II have new job now, what they
call a company clerk. 1t is rather an
interesting job but it certainly re-
quires lot Of patience, especially
with the "rookies", who ask many
foolish. and useless questions. 1 was
once "rookie" though, and prob
ably asked as many foolish things, so l
shouldn t kick. At the uresent time
there are 356 men in this company, so
you can guess what kind of job /
have. Onethird Of the men are al
lowed to go out on pass at one time.
Cunts are being organized every
day for shipment to France. They are
given thoroughly physical examina.
tiOn and completely Qualified, even
given trench helmets. The Goth
Division of Camp Travis has left tax
ing men who have been in the service
only month or six weeks. That goes
to show bow they are rushing troops to
France. Arthur Rmehart, a Salem boy,
went with the Goth Division"
The letter was written to Mrs
Mildred r. Brooks, thanking her for
magazines she had sent the boys at
Fort Sam Houston.

Modest Expansion
In Wall Street Today

New York, June 27.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
There were Indications of modest ex-
pansiOn i'll investment and semi-sricula-
tive activity in today's stock market.
Trading was in larger volume than in
any previous session this week and the
list Of stocks dealt in was broader. In
the early stages prices were moderate
ly higher with few exceptions but to-
ward midday business lapsed into ex-
tEeme dullness on declining movement
which carried most of the active issues
back to the Wednesdays closing level.
United States Steel and Reading were
in the forefront today, the first cross
ing ITO and the second touching 95, both
receding in the midday reaction. Bald
win gave way to weakness following its
initial spurt of 1b. Central Leather was
"a strong feature. The tobacco group
was heavy. Among the rails New Haven
was weak. The minor rails were in good
demand.

OUR DAILY STORY

THE WITNESS.

All his life Parriac Beering had long

lawyer from a witness stand.

he attempted trial. "Oh, for a good

Then, one day, he had his chance at
last He was called as witness in
suit for damages, and Bristles Beetler
perhaps the most vicious lawyer in the
world, rose to question him.
"Mr. Beering," began Beetler, suave-
ly, did you see the so-called accident,
when the .reputed six-ton truck was
said to have permanently embarrassed
the plaintiff by passing over his neckg''
"I did, perfectly" responded Padriac
Beering promptly and snappily.
"Ahhhh,' pured Beetler. "And is
your eye sight goods"
"Excellent," replied Beering crisply
"You dom t wear glasses?'

An expression of devastating horror
flooded the lawyers receptive features
"Sir,'' he doomed, chow dare you
stand there with brazen effrGntery and

"Er--bryxk-hraj-eh-" stammer-

Somewhere in France" the papers say
Men are fighting night and day,
Dying there in the gloom of night,
Giving their lives for God and the
Right;
Led by the hand of justice they went
To defend the cause Of the innocent,
To crush the tyrant on land and seas,
And give to the world lasting Poaee
Somewhere at home, many miles away
Women are weeping night and day,
Weeping with hearts that sting and ache
Beneath their burden, but do not break,
Dark are their lives as the robes they
wear,
For loved ones who perished "ovei
there.n
Gods gift to woman through all the
years
OF grief and courage is but her tears.
Somewhere in Hell there is place
Waiting and waiting night and day,
For those who plunged the human race
Into this cruel and bloody fray;
Who sought to drag all nations down
To crafty degenerate crown,
And Satan's mission will be complete
When he secs them writhing at his feet
Somewhere in He'll.

ROAD BUILDING POSTPONED

Most Of us want good roads and had looked forward
to considerable permanent Improvement work this year
The government however, is not encouraging the build
ing Of roads beyond the ordinary repair work, at this
time The reason for this policy apparent The nation
is in hard stern struggle with foreign foe; all its
resources in and money are being called into play
as fast as it is possible pursuance of definite policy OF
efficiency To employ large forces in the building and
paving Of roads would naturally conflict with this policy
Labor is scarce and materials extremely high making
the cost Of road-buding almost prohibtve and its
progress slow Contractors on jobs already under way
are having no end of difficulty
After the war is over thousands of men will return
home to find employment. If Oregon has accumulated
some millions of road money it might go along way TO-
ward providing employment and assist in the re-adust
ment Of business and industry to normal basis.
1t is not seriously to be regretted therefore, that the
road-buldng program Of the state highway commission
has been curtaed by lack of government cooperation

 Dear Mr. Vrooman:
 Will you please convey to farmers of America our profound appreciation of their patriotic services to the country and to the allied armies in the field? They have furnished their full quota of fighting men; they have bought largely of Liberty Bonds :; and they have increased their production of food crops both last year and this by over a thousand million bushels above normal production.

Losses in stable manure come from teaching and fermentation. Leaching may be prevented by storage under cover or by placing it in a water tight pit. Fermen- tation may be prevented by the proper use of litter and by keeping the manure pile con- pact aud moist. All the manures should be saved and protected a. gainst these losses. It has been estimated that there is an aver rage annual loss of s83.33 from the farm in manure wasted a bout the place and in losses from that which is saved.
