Speaker Declares Opponents of Cove.

..Perils He F0resees.

Portland.-That American interests
and principles were jettisoned at the
Paris conference, and that the league
of nations covenant would bind the
United States to the sacrifice of blood
and treasure at the behest of Europe
and Asia, for the protection of terri
torial integrity in which this country
can have no concern, were charges
made Tuesday night by Hiram w.
Johnson, United States senator from
California, when he spoke to a large
audience at the municipal auditorium.
While the assembly was in no
sense an overflow meeting, the great
hall was filled to capacity. BY the
prolonged cheering which greeted
Senator Johnson, and by the frequent
and vociferous applause which pune
tuated his assaults upon the league,
and upon the good faith of England
and Japan, it was evident that his
audience was gathered for the express
purpose of approving his attacks, and
that it represented to a degree the
local forces of opposition to the cove
nant. The crowd was quite as dis
tinctly against the covenant, as Presi-
dent Wilson's somewhat larger audi
ence was for it.
Declaring that American effort in
the great war will have "been all in
vain if affairs are turned over to a
secret conference sitting in Geneva"
to such purpose as to condemn our
posterity under foreign command to
police the world for Europe and
ASIA" the speaker aroused his audi
ence to high pitch of condemnatory
enthusiasm.
What he says is, friends" said
Senator Johnson, referring to Presi-
dent Wilson, chat your forces shall
be employed, not by you, not by con-
gress, not by the will of the Ameri-
can people, but by a congress of for
eign nations sitting in Geneva. Do
you want it,"
mol" exploded the audience, con-
tinuing the demonstration for some
minutes
my friends, it seems to me that
sentiment in Portland has been mis-
represented, somehow" commended
the speaker.
In opening, Senator Johnson assert
ed that opponents of the league cove
nant are actuated by a desire to pre-
vent that (which imperils the repub-
lic." He pictured America as stand
ing at crossroad of decision, one
choice the "tortuous path of European
and Asiatic diplomacy and the other
the straight and narrow path of 100
per cent Americanism." To the end
that the latter course be followed, he
pledged his answering service, dar-
ing the power of the press and other
influences to divert the attacks of the
league opponents and predicting that
in the end America would be spared
the perils he foresees.
The conflict of opinion regarding
the league of nations, said the
speaker, is based in a psychological
situation of semi-hysteria created by
the war and is reflex of the strife
overseas. Believing that future peace
was the greatest gain that could come
and having been assured that the
league would perpetuate peace, he said
that the propaganda for the league
fell upon fertile soil.

MONEY FOR UNCLE SAM
Reserve Bank Head Appeals for
Thrift and Saving.
Bills Now Pouring in Requiring Gov
eminent to Pay Price of Great War
People Get Money Back.

The Ninth Federal Reserve district
has probably received as great an in
flow of money during the past year as
in any two preceding years in its
history according to Theodore Void,
governor OF the Minneapolis Federal
Reserve bank. Mr.. Void made the
statement in calling attention to the
secretary of the treasury's statement
that the government is in urgent need
of money, with war costs now in their
highest point. With it he coupled an
appeal for careful spending, thrift and
saving.
Instead of spending twice as much
as In past years the people of this dis
trict have every reason, both of per-
for saving" said Mr.. Void. "It is true
that prices are higher but most fami-
lies have good margin above necessi-
ties and from this there should be
substantial savings.
"The immediate way of loaning
money to the government, and saving It
at the same time is to buy War Saw
ings Stamps. When one realizes that
as much was yielded last year by sale
of these stamps as it cost before the
war to run the government for year
it is seen that they are no trivial fl
nancial item. War Savings Stamps
are very real and the man who buys
them in proportion to his ability is
helping the government as much as
any weather. man who buys in pro-
portion to his ability"

The watermelon requires consider
able room, and unless there Is an
abundance Of space available it should
not be planted in the garden.
1t is heat-loving plant and the
seeds should not be planted in the
open until the ground is warm. This
will be about one month after the last
hard frost. They do best in sandy
soil, and require plenty of well-rotted
manure for their best development.
The usual method is to plant them in
hills made up with plenty Of we'll
rotted manure, about 10 feet apart
each way. Some eight or ten seeds
should be placed in each hill, and when
she plants are we'll established they
should be thinned to four plants in a

sums will be shown a. accurately az
possible.
So far as possible the programs OF
the War Savings Societies will be
worked out on pleasant and attrac-
tive lines. 1t Is planned to have each
member take an active part from time
to time. The study done in preparing
papers or short talks before the So
ciety will educate the members In the
matters which the clubs are organ
lied to teach.
Intensive Preparation.
Between now and February 18th
there will be meetings of War Savings
society organizers in many parts OF
the district at which speakers under
direction of the central committee will
outline the purposes and plans of the
societies.
Although the societies are now being
organized for the year 1919, 1t has
been announced at Washington that
they will be kept alive and encour-
aged to continue permanently. The
two-fold purpose of maintaining the
societies will be to continue giving
the people aid in their efforts to save
and to aid steadily to the Govern
ments income from small sources.
The Treasury, Department has an
nounced definitely that taxes can be
reduced in practically direct ratio to
the amount of money supplied the
United States through sale of War
Savings Stamps.
Working on the fundamental idea
of the value of Thrift, we intend also
to convince every person in the dis
trict that the purchase of War Saw
iugs Stamps will make savings do a
better, bigger and more valuable work
than any other use of the money" Mr..
Meyering said today. "At the same
time the money saved and invested in
stamps will be perfectly safe and will
yield an interest return of between
per cent. and per cent. each year.
For more than four years the world
has been spending. Now the world
must either start saving to make up
for the loss and waste or it must fall
back into stagnstion and sink to a
lower standard of comfort and happi-
ness than it had before 1914. But it
is not necessary for the American
people to fall back IL they are thrifty
and save. We have the best oppor-
tunity to save of any of the worlds
nations. We have the food, clothing
and money-all the good things of
life. We must make the basis of our
prosperity secure. Saving makes the
future prosperity Of the individual
safe. At the same time 1t supplies mo-
ney to the Government with which
the whole national structure can be
so strengthened that we will not have
to lose or forego any of our national
prosperity"

The caUliflower requires rich
moist soil, and thrives best under irrf-
CATION. 1t will not Withstand as much
frost as cabbage, but is very sensitive
to hot weather. To make success of
the crop it is best to plant it about
the time Of the last killing frost in
spring. using plants grown in the hot
bed or window box. This gives it time
to mature before hot weather comes.
The rows need not be more than 21a
to feet apart for horse cultivation,
or "a to 30 inches apart for hand work.
The plants should be from ii to Is
inches apart in rows. The culture is
the same as for cabbage until the
heads begin to develop, after which
the leaves may be tied together over
the heads to exclude the hight and
keep heads white.
This crop is one Of the aristocrats
of the garden. If you succeed in grow
ing high-grade cauliflower9 you will

WY MuskmeIons. ~

A sandy loan with plenty Of we'll
rotted manure incorporated in the soil
Is well adapted to the production OF
muskmelons. The muskmelon is heat
loving crop, requiring long growing
season. about four months, and cannot
be planted until the ground has be-
come warm. For this reason 1t is USE
less to attempt to grow the muskmelon
in sections where the growing season
is not sufficiently long or where the
temperature is not uniformly high. The
northern portion of the United States
is not suited to the growing Of this
crop for the reasons cited above.
It is advisable to start the plants
in berry boxes, or on sOds in the hot
bed, transferring these to the open
ground after the ground has become
warm. In this way considerable time
can be saved and much better results
obtained. 1t is good plan to place
plenty of well-rotted manure in the
hills, which should be about 6 feet
apart. Sufficient seed should be plant
ed so that four good strong plants may
be had in each hill. Another plan is
to sow in drills In rows 6 or feet
apart, thinning the plants until they
are from Is inches to feet apart in
the rows.
Cultivation should be frequent and
thorough until the vines begin to run.
After this the only cultivation required
is to keep weeds down.
Muskmelons are liable to be attack
ed by several diseases and have at
least one serious insect enemy. For in
