FARMERS AROUND OZARK HAVE
SOLD $146,0OO WORTH OF HOGS
Peanut Crop Has Worked Wonderful Rev
olution in Farming in That Section.

PEANUT Crop HAS Worked a Wonderful Rev
olution in Farming in That Section.
OZARK, Ala.-Farmers of this section
here today at the greatest Hog Days" sale
ever held in this territory. Seven hundred
hogs were sold and the buyer was P NJ
Metcalf, of Hartford Alabama, who made
the highest bids for this great lot of porkers
The farmers came to Ozark from all di-
rections for this event, and the crowd was
immense despite the fact that it rained all
day. Shortly after noon the jam to the
banks was like run on the banks-only
the jam was caused by the farmers rushing
in to deposit their money, not to draw it.
The Ozark City National Bank had to han
die money in bales to KEEP up with tn depos-
it's from this great sale.
Hogs Are Finished
The hogs of this sale were the best ever
offered in such large lot in this section of
the state. The fact that good, we'll finished
hogs bring so much more at these sales than
runts or poorly fed animals has put the
farmers to feeding and finishing hogs as
never before.
From September l to the present date
the livestock association here has sold
hogs to the enormous total of SAG, 1854
Bank deposits have increased more than $50
per cent. within the last six months Even
in the best cotton years nothing like this
has ever been experienced in this territory
L. F. Sessions and other prominent stock
men said today that there was virtually no
limit to what the farmers of this territory
could make out of hogs and peanuts.

HARRIS TENDERS RESIGNATION
TO TAKE EFFECT NEXT MAY 81
Expects at That Time to Actively Enter the
Race For United States Senate. Hard
wick's Campaign Under Way

WASHINGTON, D. chairman w. J.
Harris of the federal trade commission, has
addressed the following letter to the presi-
dent
Ny Dear Mr. President: Having be-
come convinced that large majority of
the true and loyal patriots of Georgia
desire me to become a candidate for
the United States senate, to succeed
Senator T. w. Hardwick, | herewith
tender my resignation as a member of
the federal trade commission, to be-
come effective on 31st day O, May,

| have fixed the date, as this will en-
able me to complete the consideration
of important matters pending before
commission which have been my special
charge. Sincerely yours,
WILLIAM J. HARRIS.
Undoubtedly this means that Mr.. Harris
is in"the senatorial race to stay. He denies
most emphatically that he had ever consid-
cred retiring from the political contest By
resigning his office he makes a large fnan-
cial sacrifice. As O. member of the federal
trade commission he receives a salary of
$4,000 a year.
Senator Hardwick's campaign is fast get
ting underway. His office in the capitol and
senate Office building are very busy places
these days and large clerical force is en-
gagged.

DRAFTEES MUST SERVE
WHEN INDUCTED IN ARMY

selectlve draft men who, not
knowing their exact age, register,
are drafted sent to Camp Lewis and
endeavor to obtain exemption on the
grounds that they are over age after
being inducted will be obliged to re-
main in the army, according to a
ruling received there for the guild
ance Of the camp exemption board.
The Interpretation was received
after an inquiry has been made re-
garding the status of a Montana Sc
lect who Is in the depot brigade and
who is 81 years of age. In his claim
for exemption on the ground that he
is not subject to the draft, he said
he registered June 5, 1917 not know
ing whether or not he was under 81.
Within a few days he ascertained
frCm his relatives that he was 36
years old, but made no effort to have
his registration cancelled by the To-
cal board and, being single and with
oIt dependents, was sent to Camp
Lewis. He has made a claim for ex-
e,nption, more than a year after dis
tcyerey chat he was not of military
age, and, as an added reason for his
discharge, asserted in his affidavit
tnat he could not read or write.
In compliance with the ruling that
men so romiss that they do not ask
to nave their registration cancelled
when they are in possession of the
Information in ample time before be-
ing called, must remain in service,
bis claim was denied and it was rec
cmmended to the commanding Off
Ger of the depot brigade that the ap-
plicant be transferred to the devel-
opment battalion, where he will re-
Ceive elemental instruction in read
.ng, writing and arithmetic.

So far rs possible each state will

SWAT THAT CANADA
THISTLE RIGHT NOW

Do not allow the Canada thistle
10 mature seed. The plants have
started to bloom in most sections of
the state and should be cut. Imme-
diate action will save thousands of
dollars to Oregon and will prevent
tho infestation of thistle-free fields.
Fields overrun with thistles
should be plowed, deep enough to
turn over the root mat" says B f.
Sheehan, assistant professor OF farm
crops in o. A. c. After the roots
are exposed to the killing action of
the sun, the land should be harrow
ed, preferably with a sprink tooth
harrow, care being taken not to in
fest other places in the field by
dragging the roots over uninfested
ereas.
Small areas should be either
grubbed out or cut off close to the
ground. A concentrated solution of
sal. applied to the cut portion when
the thistle appear in these small
patches has been used successfully.

RECIPE FOUND FOR

The wheatless loaf has been found
While the whole country has been
seeking the 100 per cent wheat sub

The recipe will soon be published

OREGON PRUNE CROP
Is BEING DAMAGED

The prune root borer is causing
q heavy drop of prunes BY girdling
the trees near the ground and shut
,ing off the sap when 1t is most
needed. The damage being done the

Of the total. Not only is the crop
being reduced, but young trees are

Much of the damage from this in

DO NOT SING
WHILE on LONG MARCH

The picture which portrays the
British soldier as continually vocal
while he tramps along the roads Of
France is overdrawn.
The period of modern intensive
training in England has curbing
effect on the marching song. When
the men first join the service the
clarches are short and equipment IS
light. In those days they seldom
march in silence.
But as the marches grow longer
ard the packs heavier, their songs
become proportionately shorter. By
The time they begin marching in
France with full equipment, songs
have become the exception.
4 15-mile march along the cobbled
highways OF northern France and 4
full kit OF 1870 rounds of ammuni-
tion leave little breath for singing.
Whistling requires less exertion, and
a mouth organ is very popular, but
a brass band is the ideal accompani-
ment to 4 long march. It sets an
even, rythmical step which is the
secret of endurance.
II the soldier cannot spare the
breath to sing when on the march,
he makes up for it at other times,
and concerts are the most popular
form of recreation behind the lines.

OF LABORERS
DUE TO EMPLOYERS

If Oregon suffers shortage Of
labor in the next two months the
blame will rest largely upon employ
ers OF the state who have neglected
to report estimates of their labor
leeds to the government.
This was TIE expressed belief OF
", L. Smith, state director of the
United States employment service,
following the announcement from
Washington that Oregon has an os-
s,cnsible need for 4i10 workers,
while the state of Washington wants
1870 additional laborers Of the un.
skilled class.
Some eastern states, in the esti.
nation of Mr.. Smith, unquestionably
have padded reports as to their COM
ins needs. Just whether or not tho
state of Washington needs more
tran 1000 laborers is doubted but
the fact emphasized by Mr.. Smith
ls that Oregon employers, by neglect
ing to furnish estimates of labor
needs, failed to protect their own
hest interests.
81 doubt If so per cent of the esti-
mates due from Oregon were in at
Washington when unskilled labor al
lotments we're announced Thursday"
said Mr.. Smith Blanks on which
he reports were to be made were
sent to all large employers of labor
IL the state. The reports were to
cover needs up until October /. New
allotments soon will be made and
sincerely hope that every employer
in war emergency industries files his
estimate. He can get blanks from
this office if he has mislaid those

CROSSES

The following poem was written
by William e. Thomas, Newburg,
Oregon, boy while lying in hospital
in France, recovering from a shell
wound, and sent to the Corvallis Ga
zette-Times. 1t was printed in one
Of the Paris newspapers, which
awarded him a prize for it.
Each life must have 1t crosses,
And a soldier gets his share;
From a trip across the ocean
To the envied Cross de Guerre.
There are crosses by the censor
Far too many, so it seems;
There are crosses in the letters
From the grille of his dreams.
There's cross that's worn by
heroes,
Who have faced storm of lead;
There's cross when he is
wounded;
There's a cross when he is dead.
There's an iron cross awarded
For murder and for rape;
It's the emblem of the devil,
It's the cross of sin and hate.
There's the little cross of mercy
That very few may own;
For the soldier it is second
To the cross of God alone.
It's a cross that's worn by women;
When we see 1t we believe
We can recognize an angel
BY the Red Cross on her sleeve.
In the letter which accompanies
tie poem, the writer says with re-
card to the German soldier:
ITO my idea about the war, the
Boche is beaten, and bad. These
Germans are no good when you
get them going. II / knew an
American that couldn't lick a
German, | would hate to see him in
our uniform. The Hun is a queer
