Victory Loan Drive Comes In Busy
season--Abont $4,000 Have
Been Raised in the County

Two days of the Victory loan drive
have passed. In Grants Pass and
Josephine county many solicitors
have been busy and some solicitors
have finished canvassing their dis
tricts. For the greater part, how
ever, SO many people are busy that
1t is impossible for solicitors to de-
vote all their time to the drive. Es-
pecially is this true Of the farmers
who must make the best of the pres
ent good weather to get their crops
planted. AS result. many country
districts have scarcely been touched.
Chairman Stott stated this after
noon that, roughly estimated, about
s25, 900 have been subscribed for
the county. This is rather low and
those who have not been approached
by solicitors should remember that
they can buy Victory bonds at any Of
the banks.
Victory bonds are a fine invest
ment. They bear AZ per cent in
terest and the payments are easy
The second payment will not come
until July. and final payment in No
yember.
The bonds run four years and ii
case bond buyer should neet
money before maturity. money car
be borrowed on the bonds at an.
bank.

BOW TO ALLIES DEMANDS BUT
WILL NOT ARRIVE BEFORE
NEXT MONDAY
SIX DELEGATES ARE CHOSEN
Germans Seem Determined to Take
Peace Treaty Home for Purpose
Of Discussion

Paris, APR. 22.-Germany has mo-
titled the allies that she accepts all
the allied conditions respecting the
Versailles congress.
Germany will send the following
delegates to the Versailles congress
with full powers to negotiate:
Count Won Observation-Disclosures.
foreign minister; Herr Landsberg.
secretary for publicity, art and lit
erature; DR.. Theodore Melchior,
general manager of the Warburg
bank; Herr Leinert, president Of the
Prussian assembly and of the ma
tional soviet congress; Herr Gels
berg, minister of posts and tele-
graphs, and Herr Schuecking.
In all the German party will num-
ber 75. The arrival OF the delegates
cannot be expected before April 2s.
Paris, Apr. 22.-Although the
peace conference apparently was
taken by surprise by the announce
ment Of Germany's intention to send
a small delegation to Versailles to
receive the text OF the treaty. the
plan is really old and Berlin and
weimar dispatches of the Associated
Press more than a month ago indi-
Gated that the German delegates
would not have power to make final
decision.
The determination OF the German
foreign office was based on misap-
prehension of the program for the
initial meeting of the German pleni-
potentiaries with the representatives
of the peace conference. 1t has been
understood through press statements
that at the first meeting the German
delegates would merely be handed
the text of the treaty, but would not
be permitted to discuss its terms and
would be sent back to Germany to
confer with the government and the
national assembly, returning after a
stimulated interval to Versailles for
the actual discussions.
Under the circumstances, as Count
Won Brockdorff-R -Rantzau. foreign min
ister, explained to the Associated
Press, the German government con-
sidered 1t unnecessary to send entire
peace delegation-more than 100
persons. headed by six plenipoten-
tiaries-to Versailles merely to re-
ceive the draft and return to Berlin
with it and would therefore send a
smaller delegation and later proceed
to Versailles for the actual discus
sion and the signature of the treaty.

OIL AND GAS FORMATION
University of Arkansas Men Talk on
 Oil and Gas Formation,

Fayetteville, Dec. 9.-(SpeciaD - The strongest possibilities of there be- ing oil and gas in Southern and East ern Arkansas, particularly in the Ar kansas River valley was voiced by Dr. N. F. Drake, geologist at the Univer- sity of Arkansas. Dr Drake, in a lecture, told of the theories of forma- tion of oil, organic from chemical de- composition of bacterial action of buried remains of plants and animals, and inorganic, when carbides of lime or iron come in contract with water inside the earth
 Oil is not found where it is formed, stated Dr. Drake, ut. among sediment arry rocks that have certain peculiar structural conditions. The high de- gree of metamorphism existing in the northern and central parts of the state are unfavorable to either oil or gas he said.

Bred GiIts Will Need
 Snecial Care and Diets
 During the Winter Months

Fayetteville, Dec 9.-(SpeciaD - number of pig club boys as well as older stock-raisers have expected their gilts to ring pigs when they were to young, according to J. H, Me- Leoud, State Leader in Livestock work with the Agricultural Extension Division. No gilt, no matter how we'll developed it may be should be bred be- fore she is eight months old and it is etter to wait until she is twelve months Of age. If SOW is bred too young, she rarely if ever, develops into a large SOW as she would have done if she had been bred later.
 At the time of breeding the gilt, she should in good thrifty condition Af- ter she is bred she should be fed ra- tion that will keep her gaining up until the time she brings her pigs. If this is done, she is much more likely to give berth to strong healthy pigs Fur thermore, she will be in condition to suckle them we'll
 A good ration to feed the bred gilt vould be: First, corn, S5 per cent; tankage 15 per cent. Second: Corn 50 per cent; chapDed alfalfa or chop ped clover hay, 50 per cent; third: corn 50 per cent; skinned milk or buttermilk 50 per cent.
 In addition to this feed, of course, pasture should be provided, where it is available. Always feed all the sur plus skim milk and butter milk you have. There is nothing superior to milk and buttermlk to aid in the dev- elopment of young hogs.
 Exercise is also essential for the gilt that has been bred. A SOW that is kept in small pen cannot properly develop her body and is likely to bring a small litter of pigs that are weak The best and most essential way for brood SOW to otain exercise is to allow ditions, however, are such that neither pasture or good size lot are avail able, the gilt should be taken out of her pen and driven a mile or so. This is considerable trouble but neyerthe- less it will pay in better and stronger pigs,

Sister of AshdoWn Man
 Head of Dell Factory;
 Makes q Little Shavers''

The following article, clipped from the Texarkanian, of Texarkana, will be of interest to the many friends of Miss Shaver, who is a sister of Ben Shaver of this city, and daughter Of Judge ]. D. Shaver, Chancery Judge of this district:
 Who of us, if forced to a confes- sion, would not admit an unconquer- able desire to emerge from the medl- ocre and to make the world beat a path to our door
 Few of us attain that goal, but a very young woman, well known in Texarkana, is about to do that very tion of New York, and to attract the attention of New York spells success.
 "A few years ago, Miss Elsie Shaw the daughter of Judge and Mrs James D, Shaver, at the age of seven teen, went to Chicago to develop her very pronounced gift with the brush. 6AS o4lSS SuC dIIl tuCCCu luC dlICuIloh oI the critics and in an astoundingly brief time, was successfully domiciled within her studio. From that experi ence her gift evolved into an oppor- tunity to enter commercial art for which her path was directed to New York City, There, for several years, -Lo Lo1 If shops of fashion whose eXacting clientle demands artistry in every line. Miss Shaver met that demand, and the catalogues of the best known firms in New York have been made attractive with her illustrations.
 That success, which would have turned the heads of most young wom- en, did not satisfy Elsie Shaver, and she began to dream of additional laurels.
 "As if by magic, the dream mater ialized, taking the form of an adora- ble doll family which the artist has termed "The Little Shavers." The ingenius young creator by her own hands and with several assistants, made sufficient number for display and, taking the children of her brain to Lord & Taylor, found the most en- thusiastic welcome imaginable as they met the eager cry for toys of real dis tinction. As the New York Times de- clared the new family made it's bow in the best of families of New York by means of a window reception
 ''In the window of this big store, Miss Shaver used all the fancies of her artistic nature in fashioning rarely beautiful setting for this occa sion, and the complimentary press mo- tices, and their accompanying sketch es, fire the imagination delightfully."-.
 AS New York passed by this dis play, approval was voiced with the re- suit that the supply was eXhaused the first day. The successful recep- tion of "The Little Shavers" required an immediate home and so Miss Shay CT has an attractive shop at No. 5, West filth, just off Fifth avenue, where the manufacture of the dolls can barely supply the demand.
 "It is unfortunate that lack of space forbids the reproduction of the flatter- ing press notices of the New York papers which give minutely the de- scription and name of each of "The Little Shavers,' for they would be very interesting to the friends of the Shavers of our city. Special mention will be made of Princess "Ollie-Ke- Wobb," who is the good looking one of the family, and who it is said, is prov ing successful holiday gift for mil

MOVIE 0PERATR0S KEPT ON CO.,
 SELDOM SEE PICTURES AS THEY . FILTER ACROSS SIL WIRED SCREEN

certain feature that has had a phe- nomenal run in one of the larger cities. Not only is an intelligent au- dience irritated by the rushing of a picture through but the undue speed of the machine also tends to throw the machines out of adjustment and is many times the cause of the eel luliod film becoming ripped and torn.
 Rushing a picture through in order to get another show started is sure to hurt and at times completely destroys the artistic value of the film which may have cost the producers many thousands of dollars and anywhere from five weeks to a year in com pleting. One operator summed this sort of practice up as, taking money under false pretences' As it takes the average motion picture reel from 12 to 6 minutes to run, few photo play lovers will long patronize the theatre where from 10 to 12 minutes are given for a reel the schedule.
 Many operators are sticklers for detail due to close daily observing many plays. They can dissect a play with as much heard of body of self imposed so-called motion picture censors.
 A projection expert discussing mi nor details in the productions stated that it is not an uncommon thing to see actors in pictures in one scene dressed differently than in the flash back of that scene several hundred feet further on in the story. "In one picture, "the expert declared, T well recolect seeing antique vase on a shelf during a rather drawn out dra- matic scene.
 When this scene was flashed-back at about fifty feet further on, the vase had been replaced by another different. Then again, one sees play CTS with checkered caps in one scene and in the next they may wear soft hats or derbys." To make this a bit clearer for all. He meant that in scene where character puts on his hat, exists and is seen next in his au- tomobile on his way to his office, the action reverts back to another pre- vious scene, say, taking in an office In the midst of this scene, the player whom we saw entering his car, enters the office with another piece of headgear replacing the cap, say a derby. Although, this is only one of the many minor details the hard worked directors overlook
 The operators as whole are peaceful, quiet men but some of them are up in arms and ready to fight if you mention censorship to them. Censorship is all right as far as it goes" stated one operator, "but it doesn't go far. 'TWhy?'' we humbly ventured. Why" and MT. anti censorship man angrtly cried, Be cause a few people are not qualified to pass judgment on the entire output of the motion picture industry. If the smaller cities and towns are going to continue the censorship of picture plays let the exhibitors get a move on and demand the right to chose some one who has been connected with mo- ton pictures and has some knowledge of the business (not an exhibitor) to accompany the censor on his rounds. Of course as far as this goes nothing ventured, nothing gained and the exhibitor himself is to blame for whatever happens to the feature films he books"
