MANY IGNORANT
 OF OPPORTUNITIES
Duty of Patriotic Citizens to Assist Government to Get in Touch with
 Discharged, Disabled Men,

Washington February 5-There are fourteen branch offices of the Federal Board of Vocational Education In as many cities of the country, and each office is making endeavors to locate every war disabled man within its territory.
 A great many of the men who have suffered impairments and disabilities were discharged from the Army with out being informed of their rights, and without being informed of the fact that free re-education and sup port while in training, with placement in positions afterwards, was theirs for the mere acceptance.
 It is the duty of every patriotic cit izen who knows of any war disabled man, whet.-er disabled by wounds or disease, to furnish his name and ad- dress to the nearest branch of the Federal Board, in order that the Board may get in touch with him and put him in line for very valuable op- portunities the Government now of- fers him. A postal card or letter ad- dressed to the Federal Board for Vocational Education, Washington, D. C., will bring full particulars.

CITIZENS OF SAN MARINO CELEBRATE
 INDEPENDENCE DAY

The citizens of the little European republic of San Marine will celebrate today the festival of independence, marking the solemn restoration of the republic on Feb. 5, 174o. San Marine perched on lofty mountains overlook ing the Adriatic, Is only thirty-two square miles in extent, but it is the oldest of the worlds existing repub- lies. Its career as an independent country began in the ninth century, but in the sixteenth century the re- public was overthrown by Cesare Borgia. It was reestablished after the death of Borgia, but it was not until 174o that it's entire freedom was fin secured. Ever since that time San Marine has been undisturbed. The tiny republic gains its name from Marinus, the Roman stone mason who fled front he persecution of Dioclet- ian's enissiaries in Rimini. With 8 few other Christians, he found sanc- tuary on Mount Titano. and there laid the foundation of settlement which in future centuries adopted resub- Iican form of government. The oldest document preserved by the republic Is a declaration of war made in the eighth century against chariemaxne's

When the kidneys are weak they give unmistakabIe warnings that should not be ignored. By examin- ing the urine and treating the kid neys upon the first sign of disorder. many days of suffering may be sav- ed. Weak kidneys usually expel a dark, ill-sa cling urine, full of 'brick dust'' sediment and painful in passage Sluggish kidneys often cause a dull pain in the small of the back, head aches, dizzy spells, tired, languid feel ings and frequent rheumatic twinges.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only. There is no better re- commended remedy
 Bridgeport people endorse Doan' s Kidney Pills.
 Conrad Hermann, 21 Webster Ave, Bridgeport, says: T was in bad shape with my back. My kidneys were weak and inactive and the kidney se- cretions were highly colored and con- tained brickdust-Lke sediment. My back was so lame, could hardly bend over and often suffered from rheu- mstic twinges. I can never forget how dizzy I often became. Sometimes I couldn't climb a ladder. I would get so dizzy. Finally I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills and they fixed me up in fine shape Since then when I have needed Deans, they have always strengthened me up in quick order"

GERMAN NOW FACE:
 FOOD SHORTAGE

With the American Army of Oc- cupation, Jan, 4-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-German news papers in the American occupied area recently have warned the peo- pie of food shortage before spring The Germans are urged to econo- mize in food as they did day after day during the war,
 The weekly allowance of food for the civilians of Coblenz as fixed by the German civil authorities is vir- tually the same as while the war was in progress, The present price for milk, which is allotted to infants and invalids is thirty-seven marks & quart.
 The food allowance for each resi- dent of CoblenE for the week from December 80 to January was as fol- lows: Bread, four pounds and eight ounces: cereal (barley) seven ounces; potatoes seven pounds; meat, seven ounces soup stock, seven ounces; margarine, two ounces; artificial honey, five ounces. The allowance j. virtually the same as the week, be- fore, excepting that during the week previous fourteen ounces of meat were allowed, and each individual vas al- lowed five ounces of jam and seven ounces of sugar,
 Additional allowances for heavy workers and children are about the same from week to week. Under this ruling the workers are permitted to purchase an additional pound of po- tatoes, and children under two years of age, are allowed half a pound of biscuit with an additional half pound of cereal
 Butter and eggs are not to be found in the markets, but surreptitiously a trade in them is carried on. An egg is worth from a mark to a mark and a half and butter brings from fifteen to twenty marke 8 pound. Special efforts have been made recently by tho German civil authorities to stamp out this trading in luxurfes which, they contend, has been continued for years.

ST. AGATHA

Sicilians will observe today the fes- tival of the fair and beautiful virgin, St. Agatha, who suffered martyrdom in the third century. St. Agatha still has a place in the calendar of the Church of England as well as in that of Rome. In the Island of Nal ta, the British stronghold in the Med iterranean, the worship of Agatha is even more prevalent than in Sicily, as she is honored as the patroness of Malta Agatha was born in the an- cient city of Catania, on the eastern shore of Sicily, where her relics are still preserved. One of the most val ued of these is a veil said to have been worn by the saint, and its ex- posture for public veneration is de- clared to have saved the city from de- struction on several occasions when Mount Etna was in eruption.

NON-PAI?TISAN LEGISLATURE.

Students of political and social development In the United States are watching with interest the course of the North Dakota legislature, which is controlled in both houses by the NOn-Partisan League. We called at tenion In our issue of December 2S to the passage by the people of a constitutional amendment empowering the legislature to exempt from taxa ton improvements on farm property. A dispatch to the New York Times, under date of January 25, states that the legislature has under considera- ton measure which not only makes such exemption, but also exempts from taxation improvements on city property up to $2,5o0 in value, pro- vided the total value of such i'm provements does not exceed s3,5OO. If their value exceeds that amount
 the owner must pay tax on the entire property. In order to render land speculation unproftable, it is like wise proposed to assess idle land, along with railways and public utili- ties, at 100 per cent. of actual value, while land under crops will be agszas-
 
 under consideration a plan to create an Industrial commission of three members-tbe Governor, the Attor- ney General, and the Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor-which will be authorized to conduct and operate any and all industrial enterprises that the State may establish. It will appoint, and may remove with or without cause at any time, the head of the State bank and the director of the elevator and milling enterprises which it is pro osed to establish. The State bank scheme is central to the whole undertaking It is to be es- tablished with @ capital of $2,000,- OO0, to be raised by the issuance of 1 State bonds. All public moneys in cluding s25, ,0O0,0 900 annually collect ed in taxes, as well as other funds held by the State school and univer- sity land fund, are to be held in the State bank, and it is also hoped to bring into it some $40,00O.000 now ! held by State banks as reserves in Minneapolis, St. Paul and Chicago. | Terminal elevators and flour mills are to be established under the direct l Jurisdiction of the State Industrial 1 Commission, the Governor being the actual directing head of the whole system. A plan for extensive State operation of the Ignite mines is also under consideration. This extraor- dinary program of State enterprise has not yet reached the stage of finEl enactment, but as the members of the majority are pledged to carry out the legislation indcsed by the caucus, it | is expected that the legislature will complete it's work and adjourn by February 10. It is not on the further side of the Atlantic alone that radi- 1 cal, political and economic experi- ments of uncommon interest and sig rificance are under way.-Nation.

A printing press with a remarkable history is preserved by the Universl- ty of Oregon. On it was printed, just seventy-three years ago today, the first number of the Oregon Spectator at Oregon City. This was the first press to be used west of the Rocky Mountains, and it was transported to Oregon City by George Abernthy, the first provincial governor of Oregon.
 The old Washington hand-press was in use in Oregon City until the late sos, when it was removed to Eugene. While being transported up the Willamette river the press was shipwrecked, but after time it was
