Fern Family includes 5000
Species and Many Varieties

According to the latest authorize
the fern family comprises sometn.4y
like $50 genera, which include about
5000 species, with varieties among the
species practically innumerable. or
all the varieties, however. there are
only about two dozen which are com
monty used for house decoration, and
almost all come from the NcDhrolepis
family, Of which the popular Boston
fern is type. The Boston originated
near Boston, Mass, about 25 years
ago, and soon came into favor as
vigorous plant, most graceful in ap-
pearance, and capable of thriving UNI
der conditions found in the ordinary
dwelling. But the most remarkable
thing about it is it's sporting" pro-
clivities, it having, through variation,
produced number of ferns in form
notably different to type, over 80 OF
which have been catalogued CONNER
cially as distinct varieties.

General Foch Born in 1851,
Near the Spanish Border

Ferdinand FOch was born at Tar

In 1851. He was subaltern In the
FrancO-Prussian war in 1870, and in
1871 entered the Ecole Polytechnique.
He served as an artillery officer until
1884 when he entered the Ecole de
Guerre. Twelve years later he re-
turned to the school as an instructor.
In 1907 he was made brigadier gen.

have prof1ted by some Of the costly ex.
periences OF others, and by a system
attic classification prevented men from
being sent to the trenches who later
had to be withdrawn and returned to
industries essential to the prosecution
Of the war. In carrying out its sys-
tematic draft system, the tendency was
to retain in the industrial world the
pivotal or key men, the return OF whom
to their normal activities in the indus
trial world appears to be one OF the
outstanding principles in the British
rehabilitation system. The war de-
partment has consistently declined to
discharge our selected service men by
classes, the needs of industry having
been recognized in the selective serv-
ice law.
In many families distress exists.
Certain men are Indispensable to In
dustry. 10 enable such men to be re-
leased, the war department has issued
a circular to all commanders covering
their cases.
The secretary Of war has also rec
commended to congress that man be
paid an additional months pay and
allowance on discharge IN order to
tide him over the interim between his
discharge and the date he obtains EN-
plOyment; and congress has now
passed bill authorizing $50 bonus
to be paid on discharge to each officer
and man who Is hOnOrably separated
from the service.
Some Dissatisfaction.
Some dissatisfaction has arisen be.
cause families find it difficult to i'm.
mediately see their sons and relatives
on their arrival at the port of debarka-
ton. This is due to the fact that pub
lie health demands that these men be
segregated rntil they can be disinfect-
ed, in order to prevent the spread OF
diseases, such as typhus, trench fever
and Influenza, in the country. Also
practical conditions connected with the
handling and discharge of large bodies
of men demand that they be sent after
their disinfcction direct to their demo-
biization points.
This all seems hard, and being a
difficult practical problem, Is Of ne
cessity entirely devoid Of sentiment,
which is, however, continually llnpel-
ling those intrusted with the carrying
out of these measures to devise some
way of showing the soldier the esteem
in which he is held by the country, and
Of satisfying the just pride which his
family possesses in his exploits.
There is general belief that the
emergency has passed, that the war
is over, and that there Is no reason
for keeping troops in France. The
war is not over until Il treaty of peace
ends it.
The emergency cannot be consid-
cred over until the last of our troops
arrive from France. What could we
say to these men and their families II
we demobillZed all troops In this cOun-
try and were powerless to care for and
return to their home districts the men
returning from overseas?
Troops must be kept in France for
such army Of occupation as may be
decreed by the treaty of peace, and
for every division held there to clinch
the fruits Of victory must be kept a
certain proportion of men for their
supply, to provide measures for their
comfort and for their final embarka-
ton.

THE CRY FOR LAND

m N the movement to provide
U lands for the soldiers a
stage has been reached
when it is important to its sue
cess to know the number of
soldiers who will take advan-
tage of the opportunity afford
ed in the proposed legislation.
At the date of a recent re-
port about $4,000 men already
discharged from the army had
written the Interior Depart
ment expressing their desire to
obtain land under the suggest
ed plan and more letters were
being received at the rate of
about 1000 each day. Agents
of the Reclamation Service and
others are explaining the de-
tails and advantages of the
plan to assemblies of former
soldiers with a view to obtain
ing a great increase in the num-
ber of applicants by the time
Congress is ready to take up
the measure.
If half a million former army
men were demanding the pri-
vilege of acquiring land on con-
ditions that will cost the Gov
ernment nothing in the end
really the privilege of paying
the Government on easy terms |
the entire cost of the land
what could delay or defeat the
legislation, asks the st. Louis
Post Dispatch.
We need this plan to increase
our food production. We need
it to keep our returning soldiers
at home. Unless some such
plan is speedy matured and
made effective. tens of thous-
ands of soldiers will go to Cana
da to take advantage of the ex-
ceedingly liberal terms offered
settlers in that country. Thous-
ands more may be expected to
go to fertile sections of Mexico
as soon as stability and safety
are restored there. Unless it
acts promptly Congress will
'ail in its duty.

A FIGHT FOR A FAIR DEAL

IA i is perfectly natural that
y the Pendleton Commercial
Association should inter.
vene in the Portland-Puget
sound rate case thereby back
ing up the contentious made in
the suit started by the Inland
Empire Shippers League. We
could not do otherwise and
keep faith with the produc ars
of theis region.
Seattle now enjoys the same
rate on wheat that is charged
to Portland and to Astoria. 1t
it is unfair to the growers of the
it is unfair t othe growers of the
Columbia river basin who pay
for the favoritism shown Puget
Eound. Here is why.
To reach Seattle from Una
tilla countywheat is taken thru
a tunnel on the Northern Paci-
fic shat is at an altitude of
2S52 feet. On the route to Port
land and Astoria there is W.
ter grade the entire distance.
Expert testimony from railroad
sources given during former
.ate hearings is to TIE effect
that a locomotive can haul on
the water grade down the Co
lumbia five times the load a
similar engine car haul over the
route to Seattle. Is that not
enough to show that the cost
of haul is greater to Seattle
than to Portland or Astoria :
But that is not all. This dis
tance from Pendleton to Seattle
it 306 miles, to Portland from
Pendleton it is 21S miles. Why
should as much be charged fer
a short haul on a water grade
as for a longer haul over a
mountain grade? That is the
problem to be solved.
If the grain rate from this
county to Puget sound is a rea-
sonable rate is not the rate
from here to Portland and As
toria unreasonably high? OBJ |
viously such is the case as arv /
student of elementary ariti-
metic should be able to prove.
In nut shell the suit now
before the interstate commerce
commission asks that the rate
from the interior to tidewater
be based on natural conditions. /
1t is a fair request. We have
reasons for believing the pre-
sent rates are not based on su n
conditions. From Kansas -
New Orleans, on water grade,
wheat is handled at a cost of
one cent per bushel per hun
dred miles of haul. From Pen
dleton to Portland our growers
nov pay approximately four
cents per bushel per hundred
miles. If the Kansas to New
Orleans rate is just is there not
something wrong with our ,
rate? If middfewest railroad !
can haul grain down hill 1 ,r !
one cent per bushel per hun-
dred miles why cannot we have
a similar rate to Portland and
to Astoria? Does a train run
easier in the middle west than
in the northwest over similar
grade?
II is claimed by men wi1o :
have been studying the prob |
lem that Umatilla county fa---
mers are paying from one cent 81
to three cents per bushel too II
much to have their wheat haul a
ed to tidewater. 1t is the as. I.
