received bulletins from every state in

most encouraging nature. The presi-
dent Of the Louisiana organization re-
ports that the reduction of cotton
acreage in that state totals 80 per cent.

reduction. Texas, the biggest state
in the cotton belt. is assured OF a re-

ENEMY WARSHiP sNoT TO
BE SUNK OR DESTROYED

Paris.-It is felt that the final dis
position OF the enemy ships is purely
an inter-allied question and not one
for inclusion in the treaty, which pro-
vides only for the surrender of the
vessels. This action is regarded as
indicating that the warships will not
be sunk or destroyed.
After the enemy ships are divided
among the allies each power will de-
eide on the disposition OF its own

was conflict between city ordiances

A community park of from
five to ter acres, maybe more,
will be one of the direct bene-
fits to st. Johns If the voters
approye the measure to be voted
on at the city election Tuesday
authorizing the City Council to
issue $500, 600 in bonds for the
purchase OF park sites. This
measure ought to carry anyway,
for Portland has nothing like as
much park acreage for the mum.
Der of inhabitants as other
cities OF the came class.
But the Council has promised
that if this measure passes the
St. Johns district will be one of
the seven sections Of Portland
in which sites will be purchas-
ed. Land values are rising
every year and the city will save
money and property owners
will save taxes-in the long run
by providing for parks now.
The committee of st. Johns clti-
zens who are working on this
matter report that $4,000 will
! he spent for park land in this
district If the bond issue passes.
A development something like
that of Peninsula and Sellwood
parks is anticipated-with COM
munity house, gymnasium.
swimming pool and play apparat-
US, wading pools and sand piles
for the children. Every voter
in st. Johns should vote for
this park site measure, Charter

ballot Tuesday.

The nation is awakening 10
the necessity of good roads, and

is to open up the land by making
il available with good roads. The
west has millions of acres of
fertile land within a few miles
of railroads and eenters of popu-
lation. entirely undeyeloped
simply because there may be a

sable roads between these lands
and the markets. Good roads
are as necessary TO successful
farming as a telephone is in any
successful business. both put

of the world. Congress should
Immediately devise ways and
means for the construction of a
national highway. Thousands
of men would be employed and
the example set by the govern.
ment would be followed by
every state and county in the
nation. Building roads should
be a nsticnal occupation for the
