There is no nssent demand the part of the people
of Oregon that the state be presented with brand
form Of government and if the present governor does not
like his job under the states present form he can easily
sdestep it, However if it requires real expert to pick
out form of government for the cost of $500 month
cannot be considered unreasonable for the work. The

EGG CROP is IN DANGER

The food administration tells us, and correctly that it
would be calamity if the production of eggs is curtaed
At the same time this is being DONE The keeping of
small flocks of poultry by city dweers is gradually being
done away WITH and while this is in a sense but small
portion of the of egg supply it still is important
one 1t represents much larger proportion to the total
egg production than do the gardens to the vegetable
yield Conditions causing this source of supply to be
almost entirely eliminated The principal for this
in fact about the only one is scarcity and high price of
all materials used for chicken feed Wheat is longer
available and corn at four cents pound is practically
pr0hibtive Yet without grain of some kind the city
flock of bddes must 60 at least be reduced to such
extent that the table waste will measure the number of
hens that can be successfully kept AS waste of this kind
is reduced to minimum and is only fraction of what it
used to be in antebelum days. the one-time flock of
dozen two will be reduced to hen two These a.e
scarcely worth bOtheng with to the average person and
yet the lone hen should be kept since that
much waste, and adds that much to the food supply.
1t may be possible some scheme can be evolved that
will to extent overcome this handicap. Corn is
selling in Chicago at around $145 bushel and of course
at considerably less in the of production Nebraska
sells for about as much less than the prices
quoted in Chicago the freight from that section to the
market This Should give price Of somewhere between
$130 and $135 in Nabraska This should permit the lay
$l7O bushe or three cents pound Even at this price
1T leaves little profit to the pouterer but it will permit the
city dweller to maintain the small flock which adds sol
materially to the total production Unless some way of
reducing the price of the feed be found it is only
question of time until the city fock must CO. Those own
ing small focks have resorted to all kinds of substitutes
and the biddy well her finds that her "war
bread contains large per centage of potatoes At the
same time there apparently must be portion of grain
added to get results in eggs, and it is along the line of
supplying this portion that maintenance or reduction of
the egg supply depends.

WESTERN FRONT SITUATION

Only on one sector of the long western front are the
allied forces exposed to the surprise attack threatened
ty Interchangeable Rheims-Ver !un front To guaran-
tee this portion of the line against such attack General
Foch as the experts tell US would have to move his
reserves into that sector But if this were done the de-
tense OF Paris and the channel ports would be weakened
Won Hndenburg might then try again for the channel or
Paris with General Foch far away on the east
ern side of the Marine salient 1t is not probable that
General Foch will risk being caught in such trap For
this reason the Rheims Verdun line may prove tempting
bait for Won Hindenburg. The American sector along
the Lorraine front is nearby Won Hindenburg may
son that General Foch would have to draw upon the
Americans to defend the ims-Verdun 'front.' thus in
tefering with the allies plan to reserve General PERISH
ngs army as far as possible for its Forthcoming major
offensive
But General Foch has demonstrated that he is capable
OF avoiding this pitfall If Won Hndenburg wishes to
extend his front east of Rheims in exchange for further
saughtering of German power, General Foch may
well give his approval to the plan Operations east of
Rheims would still further exhaust Won Hndenbl rg'
reserves without any way bringing Paris or the channel
ports nearer German possession
