FRVAY, MAY 1H, 1017. A FOOLISH AIlCiUMKNT. BOYS OS THE FAIOI, I Live-Wire Doings of the City A very common objection to the good roads bond Issue la the war. One frequently hears the objection that this is no time to build good rniuiH when materials are high and we need our money In other direc tions, says the Medlord Sun. Aa a matter of fact the war only Increases the Imperative necessity of completing at once Orogon's system of permanent nipnways. uernmuj Is not defeated by any means, and the possible developments of the (present conflict toward the wost are nartlcularlv ominous. That a hostile fleet may attack the Pacific coast In the next few years is not probable, but it Is pos sible. And It is against possibilities, t'bat a nation must preparo, If the proipor protection to the people is to be assured. With but one line of rail commu nication between Portland and Ban FranclBco and with no continuous system of good roads tue people of Oregon and northern California would be at the mercy of an attack ing force which succeoded in pierc ing the Southern Pacific at any In termediate point. Hut with a system of permanont highways no such advantage could be secured, it was not the soldiers of Franco, but the good roads of Fiance that Baved Verdun and Paris. Without thoso marvelous roads Franco would now bo under the heel of the conquoror. The cry of war necessity Instead of being an argument against thu bond Issue Is the strongest conceiv able nrgumont for the bond Issue. When you hour some ono talk nbout war needs and war prices as an ob stacle to a good roads camimlgn In this state, read him the history of the camimlgn of the Marno. If that docs not convert him, he Is hopolcss. DARES TO KPEAIC THE TltlTII. The Oregon Agricultural College, I acting for the war dopartment In ltsi food campaign In this state, bus started a movement to put able bodied school boys of 16 years or over onto farms to help Increase the food output. The name assigned to the proposed force is "Oregon Branch, United States Boys' Working Jtesorve." In announcing the plan, the col lege says: "The world faces the greatest food shortage of modern times. Fifty-nix millions of the world's most able bodied men have been taken from ran - of (pro ducers since the beginning of the great war. Reserve food supplies are nearly exhuusted and submarines aro sending thousands of tons of foodstuffs to the bottom of the ocean. The farmers of this country are called uon to produce as never before to stay world starvation, but there Is a shortage of men w which to meet the emergency. Your country looks to you. Will you re spond?" Wool Is selling In Montana at 62 cents per pound. Prices in Hoseburg and vicinity runge around 60 cents. According to these quotations the sheepman will be able to meet the ever Increasing cost of living, with practically no increase in the cost of production over former years, stock men are - realizing handsoinoly on their flocks and herds. All unimals used for food are soiling nt' top- notch figures, and from all Indica tions the limit is not yet reached ilorse breeders, as well, aro taking renewed Interest in their line of in dustry, which has been for the past few years almost suspended on ac count of automobiles and tractors taking the place of the horse. In roads upon the available supply, made by the demands of war, have, in conjunction with lessening ol breeding, put the horse murket back on Its feet, so to fyiieuk, and for a number of years to come the. market will be good. Considering ail these factors, Uinpqua valley and wostorn Oregon stockmen generally will llnd themselves scarcely able to meet the demands that will be made upon them. Thoro Is nt least ono man In Ger many who TlttrcB to Bpenk tha truth. Mnximillinn Harden, the celebrated editor of the Die Zukunft, hna expos ed much rottenness In German gov ernment and court circles, and bo ow6rful Is his hold upon the Ger man people that even the heavy huml of itho Prussian autocracy has foired to descend upon him, remarks an ox change. In a recent daring nrtlclo Harden exiKfles tho "Bhanis, pre tenses and mlstakos" of the imperial government to his Germnn readers nnd advlr.es the poople of tho father land to put their house in order so that it "will not be an eyesore to the world." llo boldly pronounces tho ilnrninn peace offer to havo been a frnud put forward to be rojocted so as to ninke a "bridgo over which Germany could IPUbs to relentless submarine war fare." Ho charges hia government with having Hod to tho president of tho United States in Its official com munications nnd frnnkly discloses the unwelcome truth that America has not entered the war to get rich, as tho Germans have been told, bill instead has chosen for the sako of an Ideal, to glvo up the profits It win mnklng out of tho war nnd bnrden llself with heavy cxpcnseB. Tho article of llardon'H, coupled with the 300,000 copios of President Wilson's address to congress, which 'have been circulated In Germany In spllo of the frantic efforts of tho gov ernment to kocip the full text from tho people, ought to have a tremen dous effect on the misguided musses. If they really wnnt tho truth, they have It In Wilson's address and H:ir den's nrtlcle. nnd If hnvlng the truth they will act on It, troublesome Gives aro In store for autocracy In tho fatherland. ' Yes, It was somewhat wet around the edges, yesterday, about tho time for crowning of the carnival queen and then Just before the hour for the uuto parade tho heavenly sprinkler witB again upret and another deluge occurred, But for all that the crowd on tho streets aippcurcd to ho having a good time, oecausc everybody smil ed. Conditions were a little better, today, and the parades less hamper ed by the duiupness. While every body regrettcd the unpleusantness of the situation, no one ullowed un favorable weather tu spoil the good timo that had been anticipated, Ir fact, since thin Is a fanning com niunity, tho pcoiple accepteu i.ie rain as a blessing, realizing that In tho real good It will do in mulling for an abundant harvest In the fall far overbalances uny of the tem- iwrury (.scomfortB resultant from tho storm.

He's the fel low who has neither "chick nor child" too old to be eligible to the conscription net too lazy to do day's work but ever roady to deliver "wholesonio" advice what the oilier fellow should do nnd how ho should do It.
