The English father who said this of his dead soldier son who bad been trained, only three months paints a picture of tho plight of the average Amerlc-.n if the United States were plunged into war and needed mil lions of troops quick. It's all right to know how to die, they say here In Switzerland, but It's better to know how to fight. By fighting you lessen your chance of dying. A boI dler hasn't got any right to die, un less there's nothing else left for him to do. Fighting today is an exact science. Read a book of military instructions. It tells you every last thing a soldier ought to do, In every possible contingency. Master mili tarists have worked it all out and put It down. Swiss citizen-soldiers know how to do twonty different things In a pinch, before they resort to dying. They know how to die too If it comeB to that. How long does It take a Swiss youth to learn how to fight Instead of die? How long would It take an American youth to learn tho same thlrfg? Just one hundred and fifty three days! Of forty-eight years, a Swiss citizen-soldier gives half a year to learning how to be one of tno best soldiers in the world. In all this time ho is forced to fire only l.ooo shots. Ho does fire more, it is true, becanso his 1,000 shotB teach him thut shnrpshootlng In the open nir Is more fun than kelly pool shooting In a smoko filled ,, room. Switzerland Is full of shooting clubs. Ono hundred and forty-three days in camp nud the rirlng of a ririe 1,000 times In twelve years nnd you've got your rrnck Swiss private soldier. Two hundred nnd thirty eight days, taken out or a lifetime, makes a corporal. a sergeant Is mailo In 2S2 days nnd a lieutenant sponciB 402 days, out of his entire lire, to leurn his job. A captain of forty-eight years hiiB put in fiS8 days, altogether. These periodB of learn ing and experience are spread over a long stretch of time. Tho first, bit ts slxty-flvo days. When you're twenty years old yo,ii g0 into a mil itary school for that time. You don't give up your Job to do It. cither. Let your bo?s try to give your Job to somehody else while you're gone, no matter whether you're a bank clerk or a farm hand; he'll go to jail If your Job Isn't open for you when yon conio back. What's more. If ho has any pride at all. he'll pay you your wages Whilo you're gone. Let his neighbore find out he didn't and they'll cut hi in dead. The next yenr, when you're twenty-one, you'll troop ofr In the summer to a military camp where you'll spend eleven days and every summer after that, for 10 summers, you'll spend eleven days In ramp, liy this time you're thirty years old and. at that age, you pass out of the regular ar my Into the lindwehr. You'll de eleven days every four years until you have served nn additional twenty two days. So you've served In nil. K3 days. All this time from the day you left the military school when you were 20 you've had your rifle, uniform, field kit and aniunltlon hanging up in a handy place at home, ready to take down and march off with if the call to arms was sounded. He's a better man than you are, .Mr. average American citizen and you'd ndnilt it if you walked tho streets of these Swiss towns. You'd know how to die. In a pinch; but any man knows that. This fellow knows how to fight. cellent advancement, except that out worms have done a little damage In Morrow county. Rye, barley, oats, alfalfa, range grass and meadows have also made excellent growth during the week, and in consequence of the Improve ment In pasturage stock has gained rapidly in flesh. In the dry, central counties the nights were' too cool and the days too windy for crops to make as much growth as otherwise would have been tho case, in view of the satisfactory condition of the soil, which contains more moisture than usual at this sea son of the year. In many of the western counties, especially on the low tantls, the soil la still too wet to be worked and planting has been delayed beyond the usual date of same. Many of the farmers In the eastern counties have finished their plowing and farm work there is well in hand. Where Irrigation Is necessary the first water has been put on the land, and there is a plentiful supply for the second irrigation, when It be comes necessary. Sheep and goat shearing la pro gressing under satisfactory condi tions and no material losses hve so far occurred in consequence of cold rains or winds. Fruit is doing nicely and there was no frost damage during the week. In the Ashland district the early and late peaches are the most promising, while tho Crawfords will. at the host, produce only a light orop. EDWARD A. BEALS, District Forecaster. U. W. YOUNG I). 11.

A resolution was also passed en dorsing tho efforts being made by the people, of Astoria to secure a naval, base at that point. j The secretary reported that Prof Hysiop advlBed him, while here that this climate and soil should produce a splendid crop of hemp, broom corn, and Borne medicinal plants which the club has contemplated in troducing here. He also promised to send some Canary graBS seed for experimenting with, ud two other varieties of seed which have a large sate commercially for bird seed and other purposes. It was decided best that tho final efforts In the membership campaign should be postponed until after the bond election and carnival, when more timo could be given to the work. The membership has been ma terially increased already, but It is expected to raise the roll to four, or five .Jf.tndrcd members before the close of the campaign.
