SATURDAY, AIMHIi SI, 1017. HOME MOIIH HUUfiUHTIONS. Owing to a certain shortage in the wheat crop thl year, and the already depleted surplus of the 1910 crops, the shortage in bread material is a far more serious matter than many people realize. Men the country over, who are in touch with the sit uation, are UHlng every means at their cominund to impress these truths upon the public mind, that not only a greator effort may be in duced toward planting, but that food Bupplles may be conserved. PrlceB on best grades of flour at present are higher than most of us have over known, and doubtless will continue the upward tendency. How to es cape paying toll to a merciless sit uation is the question tbut confronts the public generally. Of course thoso people who have independent Incomes will not bo distressed by t' e pricoB, though they may be chagrin ed. To the householder who Is do . pendent on day labor, or who may bo employed on a modost salary, the question of keeping l no flour bin . a plcnished will be a perplexing o le, us it already has become. Thr News wishes to suggest a way that will give partial rollef In ntnny Instances, at least lu tnose fumllicB where a reasonable plot of ground Is avail able, or where families iroy be liv ing on email farms and huvo bind for crop growing, it Is simply In the raising of corn which may be manu factured Into corn meal. Corn crops are largoly grown In tbo middle west, and In uregon the best of re sults uro obtained, but comparative ly uttlo of the grain I-- used for food, allhough It is almost univer sally likod by old and young. From forty to seventy-live bushels mny be grown to the acre right hero in Douglas county, it can usually be purchased from runners at about a cont a pound. Ground Into meal It makes a most nourishing and palat able food, and if everybody who is favorably situated would plant liber nlly of this product tho broad ques tion would not bo such a burden. Corn does not nocd to be taken to tho mill for grinding. The small grower, who may only produce a fow bushels, can get a vory efficient hand mill for from $2.50 to $3.00 that will do excellent work, and the meal they mnke Is juKt ub well made as any that can bo bought. Those little mills will Inst a life time, and tho oxpenso of getting ono Is only gomlnnl, tho saving thai can be mndo by Its use will be lurgo. Not only will tho use of coi-nmeul effoct a great saving, but it is far healthier thun a superabundance of fine flour. Youngsters thrive on It, and why not 'get Into the habit of using a pro duct that brings health and at the sanio tlnio materially assists lu re ducing the cost of living. Plant generously of corn, either early yellow or whlto varieties (hut not sweet corn for this pur pose) nnd get a mill. IE ltlOAMON W IT Alii;. When President Wilson askod tho waning powers to toll, If they could, what all the carnage was about, there was considerable hedging from a peeved aggregation of monarchs, but very fow satisfactory replies. .lURt what tho German people arc fighting for was made apparent a short limo ago w.ien Count von Kovohllow assorted "That victory is necessary it tho (ionium monarchy Is vto eudure." it is not, then, a question of trade or commerce, but merely a war to perpetuate a mon archy, it is not n war being fought to better tho condition of tho peo ple who ninko up tho government, but blood of tho tollers nnd wealth producers of the nation Is running in literal rivers thnt a monarch m:ty continue to afflict a patient public with hts preseiu-e. It Is not a strug gle that his peoplo might enjoy greator liberties, that they might have access to advanced cduenttonal Institutions, or that they might bo allowed onlnrgod freedom and par ticipation in governmental affairs, or that they enjoy inoro of whnt they produce, but merely that a heart loss monster, who has' been likened unto a beast of prey, should he en abled to tighten his grasp on bis claim of divine right to rule. This Is the real icnson Kaiser Wllhelm Is hoarding his millions of huumn chat tels into tho trenches where they are giving up their lives in ulmntd count less numbers for a hopeless cause. Tho fanners throughout Douglas rouuty will stanu almost solid itn the local bond Issue of $ff, 000 for the Improvement of county ronils. No person Is better qualified thun the farmer who trods bottoinleso roads dally to judge whether or not our present system of roud building Is n success or failure. And If one would judge from the almost unani mous expressions coming from them they see in the proposed bond issue tho only wny possible for a system of permunent road building, if the slate pusses the six million dollar Issue and Douglas county comes up with Its progre.isivo plans of lssu lug bonds there will bo an era of rond building never before witness ed In this section of the stale. The bond way is tho only wny to get good and permanent roads. Under the caption. "We Don't Believe It," the Orego'n Voter has : the following to Bay: Scurrilous, storleB circulated about men in pub-1 lie life should be disputed by every-, one who believes in the honesty of the men who are traduced. The lat est about C. E. Spence, master of the Stute (irangc, is being given cur rently around the edges of road meetings where he speaks. It is to the effect that be was paid $20,000 by the timber interests to put over the tax limitation amendment to the constitution; that he only expended one-fourth of the amount in tho campaign, and that he pocketed the remainder. Anyone who knows Mr. Spence well knows that although ho is a man of narrow prejudices and very shifty in bis stand on many public questions, he Is absolutely honest financially.- There is noth ing to be gained by circulating these slanders. Mr. Spence has said so many contemptible things about un selfish citizens of Oregon that he will get little sympathy now his own motives are questioned, but two wrongs do not make a right, and false accusations against him should not be countenanced by self-respecting citizens. Startling news comes through Associated Press dispatches today from the seat of war in Germany. It tells or grave conditions existing among its own people that tho gov ernment Is facing a great economical and political crisis ten thousand munition employes on a striko and enguged In bloody riots. The strik ing men huve made such demands of a revolutionary character that should the kaiser comply therewith it would put a sharp ending to iiiilltary rule In the Germany empire. With condi tions of this kind existing within its own borders fostered by Its own people It Is only a-matter of a brief period when the kaiser will moot a Fate likened unto that of the czar of Russia. When an empire's own peo ple rebel In largo numbers and dls. satlsfactlon is rilo on every hand, il Is conclusive evidence that that gov ernments power Is gradually weak ening, and with these reliable reports at hand it would ho no surprise to the world to bo apprised at any time of a tremendous upheaval among .Germany's own peoplo thut will hasten the close of their bloody warfare. it has been stated on Humorous occasions, recently, that tho timber unions arc In various ways oppos ing tho proposed state bond Issue. Whether or not this is a fact it can not be truthfully stuted at this time, but you can usuully "bank" on tho timber Interests bolng foruinst" any meuBiire no matter of how vitul importance to the public at largo if tholr holdings are to be effected by any additional tax. Tho big timber land ownors are working to one end that of keeping their taxes down to a minimum and await ing the maximum price for their holdings. Thoy don't euro a whoop for the farmer or business man. They're looking after tho "tall tim ber. 1 Tho 40th nniilverBiuy number is sued by tho Portland Telegram wua ; a very comploto und ulilo edition, j portraylnK tho principal IndiiHtrleB of tho northwoBt.

Poor Broccoli (You. Kiddle Tribune: The Kiddle broc coli crop for this year Is proving to be almost a failure, the greater, part of the loss being attributed to the belief that the growers In this sec tion were supplied with seed of an Inferior variety. While adverse weathor conditions no doubt have aided in tho failure of the crop to mature proiierly, there acems to be tittle doubt thut the seed question is the prime cause. Weather condi tions at Kiddle have not in any re spect been worse than In other lo calities, where tho growers are get ting a fair crop from their plants. A meeting of local growers will be held Saturday, und it Is rumored that ac tion may be started at that time to attempt to hold the parties supplying the seed responsible for the loss. ATM The small balls for pjaying duck pins, nino pins, Jonuh, cocked hat, four back, five back and many Mher games have arrived at the l.iipqua club alleys and great Interest is being taken by a large number of de votees of the small ball games. The small ball games are being participated In by many of the ladles who find it easier to roll the smaller balls than the regulation bowling balls. Friday night marked the opening of a big ragtime bowling tourna ment at the club alleys. As a largo number of good bowlers have de veloped since the opening of the op ening of the alleys, a verv close andi exciting race is anticipated. "Speed" Humphreys, tho popular clerk at the club tssues a cha'lenge to any bowler or hilllurdist in Rose burg or vicinity to meet him In a match game on the alleys, billiard or pocket billiard table. s Tho Boya Band Is making excel lent progress in their many practices preparatory for tho strawberry cei nlval.
