ft III W III VVUK . CENSUS RULES URGED The public is warned by the'of- clals of the military board In charge t the war census to observe the ules laid down and. the Information Klven in the statements published by them over their signatures. This warning Is given In view of the fact that a number of alleged bulletins and statements have been published which It has been punported have been received at tho local office v hen In tact no such information was ever received or bucu bulletin issued. These. "Items" although they may be somewhat interesting, tend 'to hinder, rather than assist tha work of registration as the people are giv en stipposed' rules to be observed which, are, not necessary and which will probably never be put In force. All communication in regard to the war census iff being given to the (public By the officials by co-operation with reliable newspapers and the names of the officers of the board are being signed to the articles in order that the information may be known by all to be authentic. Ar ticles not signed in this maunev are not Issued from the board and should be taken with the most ex treme caution as the matter is one of vital Importance and one in which every rule must be rigidly '.i served under heavy penalty. FALSE STATEMENT In contradiction to an article pub lished in a local journal a few days ago, County Clerk . H.

Millions of bottles of Jhis old famous Sage Tea Recipe, im proved bv the addition of other incn-ivli. -ents, are sold annually, says a well known druggist here, because it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that no one can tell It has been applied. Those whose -hair is turning gray or becoming faded have a surprise awaiting them, because-after one or two applica tions the gray hair vanishes and your locks become luxuriantly dark and beau tiful.

Gray-haired, unattractive folks aren't wanted around, so get busy with Wyeth's Sage and Sul phur Compound to-night and you'll be de lighted with your dark, handsome hair and your youthful appearance within a few days.

Another change which will affect the election is that the judges and clerks will not be called upon to de liver the ballot boxes at tho court house as formerly, the 'recent legis lature. having 'passed a law that the boxes are to be delivered to a deputy appolntedwuy the sheriff at a desig nated spot, in this manner Baving a great deal of expense in mileage. For example all ballot boxes from Perdue, Days Creek, Canyonvllle, Tiller and other precincts in the vi cinity will tprobahly be delivered to a deputy at Riddle, who will bring them to Roseburg.

ADDRESS TO CONGRESS In Rifrard to Food KiMViilutions' mid liitM a Popular Chord Asks Con gress to Use Influence in Stoi ling Menacing Situation. A copy of resolutions recently drafted by a number of Salem's prominent business men was receiv ed in this city this morning with the request that similar ones be drawn up here and signed, then for warded to our representatives in con cress. The request Is that churches, schools, fraternal societies, civic bodies and groups of citizens take up this matter and act upon It imme diately. George M. Brown, attorney general, a former resident of this city was one of those In Salem who was Instrumental In drafting the resolutions, a coy 'of which fol lows: Whereas, the -prices of the staple necessities of life have advanced to figures exceeding cost of production to an extent far beyond the limits of conscience and any possible concep tion of Miman right or reason and are still advancing. . Whoreas, this condition is proof of the utter lack of humane Considera tion on the part of thoso responsible and Indicates a frantic desire and effort to levy merciless war assoss- ments In advance upon the public whereby the beneficiaries may later meot their own obligations without sacrifice if not at actual profit. Whereas, such business Is unpatri otic to the equivalent of treason or Insurrection. It proves its perpetra tors to be limited only by the heart less principle of taking "all the traf fic will bear" or all an unprotected people can be forced to pay. W'horcas, congress has undisputed authority over every resource of tlo nation in the present crisis,' which authority is being exercised in the talcing of tho bodies of our best young men for 'military service and the action is met with ready support In a spirit of glorious sacrifice by the people. But the flagrant abuecs by tho food speculators, pursued from palpable motives. of greedy dis regard of the great emergency that is uon us, goes unchecked and un challenged except by Ineffective and dilatory discussion. Therefore be it resolved, that tho 'undersigned do hereby moat earnest ly urge upon our national congress the groat need of Immediate and ef fective action to rollevo this most menacing situation which is rapidly contributing to tiio aid of the ene mies of the nation and already amounts to one of the gravest ob stacles to tho success of our coun try In the great, crisis that now con fronts It.

Collier's Weekly. Oregon roads uro no exception. In their campaign of mtHrcprcfPii tation of facta, opponents of tho $$, 000,000 roail bond bill are ranking tho baaoloss charBO that It will cost the various counties not lens than $10,000 a inilo to prepare roads for hard-surfacing by tho slate; that for this rea son few counties under tho 6 per cent limitation can afford this expense and consequently will not be hi a posi tion to obtain paving under the pro visions of tho road bond bill. Tun actual experience of different coun ties in the state disproves this con tention of tho road bond opponents. Morrow County Is completing tlin grading and draining of a stretch of 18 miles of road from lone to Hepp ner. The cost for tho work for the greater part of that mileage was $150 a mile. Tho very most oxpeuslvo sections of the road did not cost to exceed $G0C0 a mile. . Under the ml InK .of the Highway Commission it will only be necessary for counties to grade and drain tho road. The state will lay the crushed rock base and the paving. To be sure, the money from the (road) bond sale will for some time to come bo spent mainly on trunk roads which will not seem directly to benefit the farmer. Hut they will boricf it hi in directly. If the trunk lines do not paa his front door they are seldom many miles away and ev ery rod of good, hard surfuco they give hi in to. travel on means a saving of time, money and horsufleah. It means also better schools, accessible churches and a general uplift of con ditions, to say nothing of growing land values. Hut Die time will soon como when the trunk roads will be finished and then it will be farmers' day. Laterals will lufalllhly be built to connect rural communities with the central arteries so that the farm er can speed all the way from his gate to the city on a hard Burfuce. This Is worth working for. It Is worth some waiting and sacrifice. Portland Journal. Without entering Into the merits of the road bond law, there can be no question of the urgent necessity for the adoption o( some plan or system that will give to the state of Oregon the roads nocessary to the develop ment of her agricultural prosperity.
