COUNTRIES TO SPEED UP ALL
 PRODUCTION

Paris, March All allied countries will be called upon to develop to the utmost their productive forces and advised that laws improving the con dftion of workers must be applied to that end in a. manifesto prepared by the economic section of the su- preme allied council yesterday, says ''Pertinax," political editor of the Echo De Paris.
 With this object in view" he writes, '-the different governments will be told they must support each other to the utmost A return to the community system created dur ing the war and lighthearted1y de- stroyed after the arm4stice cannot be thought of now, but the manifesto will declare the following principles should recognize:
 'In every country the problem of production is not only national, but international, and, both as regards the distribution and transport of raw ma. terials, it must be admitted each state must seek not only it's own interests but must accept sacrifices in the in- terest of the general welfare
 ''The necessity for greatest econo- my in the manufacture of war ma terial is apparent In connection with which a solemn warning will be ad- dressed to small central European states which show signs of asking support by arms of their particular claims If necessary, certain steps will be taken against them
 Europe must form genuine economic unity. and to return to healthy conditions. all parts of it must be reconstructed Measures then must be taken to enable Germany and Russia to contribute to the economic life of the European entity"

PrecipitateS Ron,

Silverton, July 2.-Just how far

Dallas, Or, July 1.-The Dalla!
cannery is row in full operation anG
will continue active throughout the
season although the production will
not be as large as would have been
the case If the prices had been low
! err In common with all canneries
the local institution is inclined to fear
that the demand for canned goods in
the east will not be so great because
of the high price. Already the can
merry has contracted for 100 tons of
lloganberries and would like to have
half as many more. Right around
Dallas there is but about one-third of
a crop of backberries, but it has
been found that in Kings Valley
country there is good crop of the
fruit. Contracts are being made there.
One odd feature of the local situation
is that quite a number of local cherry
growers sold their crops to man who
sells in Salem, getting the same price
that is offered locally. This resulted
in the local cannery buying in the
less hauls in both cases. The local
tdHHcTy WdHlS al the cherries Lnat
1t can get, and hopes to be treated
more fairly in future years.
The cannery is going after the busi-
ness In up-to-date style. 1t has a truck
fitted with pneumatic tires and is
otherwise prepared for berry hauling
and is in position to gather the
fruit wherever offered. Buying sta
tions have been located, and every
possible provision made for the pro-
ducers to get their fruit to the buyer, :
so the company states.
An informal basket picnic will be |

daily invited to bring their baskets of

RETURNS TO CONVICTION AFTER
YEARS OF ABSENCE AND
GETS LOST.

The Impressions of one returning
to a place, after a number of years
absence, are of more OF less interest
to those who remain to greet you on
your return.
The Covington as I knew it, many
years ago, has altered for the best
in many ways (too numerous to men
tom, that I proceeded to get los:
very shortly after arriving and was
compelled to inquire my way. OF
the old landmarks that once knew
but few remained to guide me In re-
calling old scenes and memories, aud
make location hazy.
The disastrous fires, which devas-
tated portions of the town in recent
years, while they were real misfor-.
tunes and financial losses, have
taught the much needed lesson of the
better construction of buildings, that
now beautify the town, and give I'M
petus to the general cleaning up and
neatly laying out of this beautiful
spot in st. Tammany parish.
Both the Old and the New Coving-
ton reflect great credit on the enter
prising and progressive citizens who
have made them possible.
The town seems progressive, and
with wealth and happiness In .ta
midst may she continue so until 1t
becomes a truly garden spot in the
Sunny South.
