GOOD RESULTS IN OREGON

Dallas, Ore.-Higher crop yields In
western Oregon have resulted from
treating acid soils, an agricultural
problem in this section, according to
T. G. Getchell of the Oregon Agricul-
tural College.
The legumes-clover, alfalfa, vetch,
peas and beans-thrive in slightly
alkaline soils and do poorly in acid
soils.
Acid soils are corrected by adding
alkalis to them. The cheapest and
most convenient substance for this
purpose is lime.
The amount Of lime used depends
on the location and condition of the
soil. Poor soils which are dry and
light are supplied with less than
heavy wet soils. An average of one
ton is ordinarily used. On heavy soils
which require drainage as much as
two tons Is used.

of supreme sacrifice on their part.
Our voices soon will be silepced,
our written word soon ma, fade and
be forgotten, for life is short at best,
but this witness between ourselves and
all preceding and succeeding genera
tons should endure forever"
The significance attached to the
group of figures represented in the
memorial is explained by Mr.. Borg
lum as follows:
my development OF the subject has
produced group of men separating
themselves from their civi. occupations
and home ties, assembling, organizing,
arming and moving forward in order,
carrying with them the accoutrements
and implements of war Thus the ar-
ton of the composition represents and
illustrates the people summoned to the
defense of this freedom by showing
the breaking of home ties, the hurried
change of dress and the gathering of
men into units moving forward 70 the
frontiers and into battle.
"Thc group is placed upon an in
cline, which emphasizes the struggle
and shows the upward character Of it;
while in point of composition it CEN
tiers the entire group forward in
picturesque and dramatic climax"

ANE of the things to remember
~ about your storage battery is
that fire and fame must be kept
away from it.
The storage battery, If it is in
proper working order, gives OF
hydrogen gas fumes. The volume
Of gas is not great and the fumes
are not dangerous to human health
when the battery is kept in an or
binary room with reasonable venti-
lation. Under certain conditions,
however, these fumes are inflam-
mable and the gas sometimes will
cause an explosion, If it comes in
direct contact with an open fame,
such as that Of q match or
candle.
II your storage battery is kept
in q dark, out-of- the-way corner
and you must examine 1t fre-
quently to see that the acid solu-
ton is at proper level and the ter
minals and contacts in good order,
don't strike q match to provide
your light. An ordinary electric
fashlight is more convenient, gives
. better light and-most import
ant Of all-is safe.

LEGION PIN PICKERS CLINCH
1926 CHAMPIONSHIP, CITY LEAGUE

BY taking seven of the eight points
in the double header rolled with the
Gannett aggregation Friday evening
the American Legion clinched the
City League championship, for the
second time and will retain the beau
tiful trophy which has reposed in
their quarters since the final match
of the 1924-25 season.
Standing next to the war veterans
in the percentage games won and
lost for the current season is the Y.
NJ. C. A. quintet, but they are closely
pressed for position by the Gannett
Five, an outfit which came in at
midseason to replace the Clerks who
Withdrew from the league.
Although the city league season Is
not yet finished the schedule OF
matches yet to be rolled shows the
Legionaires to be impregnable in the
sun berth. This years champions
yet have a double header with the
Miscellaneous pin pickers. while the
"Y" will appear in three more
matches and the Gannetts four.
Should the Legion drop all eight
points which Is not probable and the
present second and third place con-
tenders win all points in their
matches yet to be bowled. neither the
"Y" nor Gannetts could equal the
service mems record.
It Is interesting to note that in the
10 matches which Goodwin, who was
recently lost to the "Y" aggregation
and Cross of the X. J. outfit. have
rolled, their percentage is divided
only by fraction, Goodwin. leadin@
with a total pinfall of 1914 as against

TIGER FLOWERS OUTPO|NTS
CREb FOR MIDDLE WEIGHT TITLE

New York, Feb. 26-(By the Asso-

years king Of the middleweights,
was dethroned tonight by the sem
sational Tiger Flowers of Atlanta,
Ga, first negro to hold the cham
pionship of the division in history
Flowers victory came through
Judges decision at the end of ht-
teen round bout in Madison Square
Garden witnessed by $4,000 persons
Greb, to newspapermen at the
ringside, was not himself. Appearing
drawn and nervous at the start. put
Flowers was in excellent condition,
with a confidence that was not to be
denied. Very seldom did the famous
"windmill' onslaught of the great
Pittsburgh battler appear to worry
his challenger, one setback for the
negro coming in the fourth when
Greb battered him to all corners or
the ring and another in the thir-
teenth. The Tiger, veteran of many
encounters, his recent record marred
only by two knockouts at the hands
of the light heavyweight from
Bridgeport, Conn.,, Jack Delaney, last
winter, fought a steady, workman
like battle throughout, a right hand
sap introduced at lic pV5iliAiiAs ~
each round seeming to worry the
champion. Flowers had the reach
and with right foot forward he pre-
scented a style difficult for any boxer
to fathom.
Boxing critics argued that the
margin obtained by Flowers was too
small for a title to change hands al
though it was generally admitted

commission which provides that all
bouts must be decided by rounds
