Notice

Last summer, at the request of the U. s. Goernment we ran our plants only one quar- ter capacity to save ammonia and coal in mak- ing artificial ice so we had to use up our re- serve stock of natural ice which we usually carry on hand in case of shortage the follow ing season. Because of the exceptionally mild winter just passed, we were unable to cut but one sixth of our crop and had to go north for our ice supply for this summer.
 For the above reasons commencing April 21st 1919, our prices of ice will be as fol- lows:-
 25 lbs to 200 lbs. at one delivery soc per 100 200 lbs. to 800 lbs. at one delivery7Oc per 100 800 lbs to 2OOO lbs. at one de1very~6Oc per 100 Over 2OOO lbs. at one delivery soc per 100 Chopped ice per tub 4Oc Water tanks 15-25 lbs daily 20 per week
 No Sunday deliveries.
 Drivers not allowed to change price or make contracts.

PROSPECTS ARE GOOD
FOR RECORD FRUIT CROP

Prospects are excellent for a bump
er fruit crop in the Pacific north
west this year, according to F. M.
Davis, manager of the Eugene Fruit
company. The winter thus far has
been very favorable and the only
thing that will prevent a record
crop is a late frost, Mr.. Davis states
The apple crop will probably be
the heaviest for years, Mr.. Davis be-
lieves and cherries and prunes are
also looking fine.
Here in Oregon we produce the
best cherries grown" Mr.. DAVIS
declares, "the Bing and Lambert, for
table use and the Royal Anne for
canning. Last year we shipped these
cherries all over the United States
and from everywhere came the re-
port that they were the finest cher
rles ever seen. This year we VIII
probably receive even larger orders
and we had difficulty in supplying
the demand last year.

COUNTY SUPT. ADVISES
ON MAKING UP LOST TIME

County Superintendent G. w. Ager
advises the teachers of the county
in regard to making up time lost
during the present term by the In
fluenza epidemic, in which he states
that children should not be expected
TO do nine months work in fiye or
six months. He considers II more
necessary to teach in a systematic
manner the essentials in each and
every subject, but If only six months
school is held to do that six months
we'll He does not approve of eX-
tending the period of the days work.
neither does he think it advisable to
extend the term into the summer
months.
"In justice to the children and to
prevent further complications OF
school work." Supt. Ager added,
believe all pupils in the sixth grade
who have been in school all the time
except during forced vacations and
who have done all the school work,
especially in physiology, that could
reasonably be expected Of them,
should be permitted to take the state
examination in physiology. The same
may be said of the 7th grade geog-
raphy class, and all Sth grade stu
dents who should have been promot-
ed to the high school at the close OF
this year under normal conditions.
In any case, however. where stu
dents are promoted but have been
compelled to omit certain important
work, which, because of its nature
is indispensable to the child in order
that he may make further progress
directions to that effect should be
left in the registers, on annual re-
ports, etc., so that succeeding teach
ers may know exact conditions and
will see that the work Is properly
presented at some future time"

INVESTIGATIONS OF VALUE
AT EXPERIMENT STATION

Use of irrigation, cover crops and
sulfur and nitrate of soda fertiliz-
ers in southern Oregon districts has
been shown by investigations at the
Talent branch experiment station to
be Of the greatest value. Irrigation
is becoming more general, two irri-
cation districts hayeing been formed
recently.
Thousands OF acres of alfalfa are
now treated with sulfur. A further
result is the growing of alfalfa on
adobe lands by application Of sulfur,
where otherwise 1t is Improbable.
Nitrate of soda has been used ex-
perimentally with marked results.
On the other hand the new cover
crops introduced by the station make
1t possible to maintain the nitrogen
supply without resorting TO the use
of commercial fertilizers,
Investigations have also shown
that cyanide of mercury, one Of
five hundred, is effective in dis
injecting wounds in eradicating pear
blight, but not on the tools. On the
other hand corrosive sublimate is eff
fective in dlsinfecting the tools used
in pruning out the blight, but not on
the wounds. DR.. Reimer, superln-
tendent of the station, reports that
inclusive trials indicate that formal
dehyde. ten per cent solution, is eff
fective on both tools and wounds.
This strength is prepared by mixing
one part commercial formaldehyde
forty per cent strength-with nine
parts water.

NO INCREASE IN RATES
BY r. II. ADMINISTRATION

Walter I. Hines, Director General
of Railroads, has authorized the
statement that there is no founda-
ton to the report that the Railroad
Administration has given or is CIV
ing any consideration to any increase
in present basis of rates.
The results of operations for the
year will be largely dependent upon
the volume of traffic. II the volume
of traffic should be as large as last
year, it is believed the operating in
come would be sufficient to pay the
rental. AS soon as any reasonably
satisfactory conclusion as to the
probable volume of traffic can be
formed, the public and Congress will
be given the best possible estimate
of the prospects for 1919.

AUTOCRATs DOWNFALL

Last night upon my bed;
An angel whispered to me quick
Autocracy is dead.

With ostentation vain.

To blossom as the rose,
With faith triumphant in Gods laws
All errors to dispose.

And stop all hellish strife.

Made German leaders weep;
When under Foch blow after blow
They put the Huns to sleep,
Saved Paris from catastrophe,
Great Britain from alarm,
Rome from the Hapsburg monarchy,
And freedom from all harm.
The Hohenzollern dynasty,
The Hapsburgs, Bulgs and Turks
Have Justly met their Waterloo
With all their fiendish works.
The nations need no Kaiser now,
No czar, sultan or king;
These autocrats have had their day
