I deeply regret that people still harbor that pernicious delusion that this war is 3,000 or 4,000 miles away, says A. O. Stanley, governor of Ken tucky. Have you heard' tliat? Some foolish people are saying that it is a war between England, -France, una Italv and Germany and Austria away across the Atlantic Ocean, in the mud and snow of Flanders and In the passes of the Alps, around Verdun and that great sector at Cum brai. Oh. no. it Is not there. It Is here right here. It is In the streetB of Loulovllle; it is all over the blue grass of Kentucky and in the inoiin tains and the plains and In the Pen nyrile: It Is up and down the Mis sissippi river. They would be here but for that splendid and almost shattered line Into which every able- bodied Frenchman has gone: that line to which every home in England has contributed; that line for which Australia and Canada have been drained. Because ' that line still Btands they are not here. Let that line break, let the Hun go over that western front as he did over the Ason zo In Italy, as he swept over the eastern front in Russia and through Serbia and Roumanla, and his mil lions will he here. Will our patriotism and vigilance sleep, sleep, sleep until we are arous ed at midnight by the red glare of the holocaust? Will we wait till the air Is thick with the smoke of burn ing buildings and the skies are black with the conflagration of great cities? Will we wait until the soil 1b drenched by the red blood of our own sons and the shrieking of out raged women Alls the palpitating air? These Huns would Invade our homes, would lay their foul mid desecrating hands upon the white throats of American women, only over the dead bodies of the last of this land's defenders. We shall not wait until they lnnd here. We will meet them there. The destiny of the world deponds upon the puiSRant arm of America. TEMPERS. Tempers aro queor things anyway. We snap and growl, and1 scold, and fume, and fret for no cause under the sun that we know of and when trouble really comes we smile and take It as unconcornodly as though It was the most commonplace affair. 'We will sulk for a week over a slight that was all In our Imagination and grow all the madder because we know that the whole mattor Is an invention of our own. The fact is, when we feel good a cyclone can't spoil our equanimity but If we chance to be out of sorts and huvo the blues, we are going to get mad and stay mad and if we don't find any provocation we will make one, The man who gets the blues and who is there who doesn't got them is a most unfortunate person. '1 minutes arter the attack boglns he has concludedi that he Is the most abused man on the fnco of the earth (Every person In the town Ib work ing against him ho knows It and it is no use to deny tho fart. If the unfortunnte man Is married, he wreaks disgust upon his wife and boy and row. "The sanclty of the marriage rela tion must not be broken by divorce." says seedy sentiment, no matter though the ever-present specter of bruises, wounds, perhaps of a fear ful death, may hang over the head of the victim, she should walk un swervingly hy the side of the ile spisable brute whose brawny hand, nerved by rum or reasonless passion, may at any time strike down her frail form. Tho man who lays his hand upon n woman, save In wo- r klndness, desorves no companion icu etornal banishment from hor ..y presence. Subscribing for liberty bonds and buying war saving stamps does not represent any heroic Isaoriflco for patriotism. Both aro merely good, Rufe investments nnd entitle the A Woman's Shop for Woman's ( Wear borders .thereof to little credit be yond that of possessing good buai ness Judgment. ADC t UW.

The plant of happiness cannot thrive without an air of cheerful OF "Tho fruit growers of Douglas county do not realize the impor tance of the disinfection of pruning wounds as related to the heulth, vigor and loiig life of orchard trees,' Bald Prof. H. P. Barss, plant pathol ogist at O. A. C. who vlBlted a con siderable number of Douglas county orchards Wednesday In company with Fruit Inspector Poarcy. "California has learned to her sorrow the destructive effects of the wood destroying fungi thut almost invariably enter unprotected pruning wounds over an inch or two in diam eter. More fruit trees die from these internal decays than from any other single cause. They enter tin seen; they often work slowly, but they work is deadly and sure. The original wound may heal over or the pruning stub may remain hard and ilrm on the surface, but once it has entered, the docay will proceed un detected and uninterrupted until It undermines the vitality of the tree. Many dead spots and cankers on trunks, at the crotches or on th limbs are the result of such internal rot working outward till the cam bium is killed. The death of limbs and weakening of the trees eventual ly follows. AH thiB might be avoid ed with almost no extra cost or ef fort by painting all such wounds when made with a thick paint made with lime slacked and mixed at once with a strong hlucstone solution. This is known as home made Bor deaux paste. Such application should be repeated om;e or twice a year to Insure complete protection till the wound is entirely healed over. This method of treatment is being exten sivoly adopted In California and else where and should bo adopted by ev ery orcliardlst in DouglUB county." The prlmury object of Prof Barss' visit was to investigate cer tain hark cankers of prunes -and pears particularly. The cause of thcBe cankers Is not known hut will ho In vestigated as far as tho present lim ited funds of the experiment station at Corvallis will permit. It Ib no ticeable that the more vigorous and activoly growing trees aro in gen eral less subject to these troubles than the older or Icbb vigorous trees. Ho suggests therefore that greater atlention be paid to maintaining the humus and nitrogen supply In the soil nnd to employing every method which will tend to conserve the soil moisture during the long summer dry period.

Although the 3G9 men required will be Inducted out or class 1 In se quence of their order numbers, this Important exception will be r.iade: Because of the scarcity of farm la hor, the president has given orders that "the call to the colors or men actively, completely and assiduously engaged In the planting or cultiva tion of a crop, but who are In class 1 nnd within the quotas, should be de ferred until the end of the new quota." "Instruct your local boards, there fore, continues the order, "that the president directs that, in filling this emergency call, they shall pass the order numbers of such men and de rer their call for the presont. It must be borne In mind that this step Ib taken solely in the need of tho nation and not for the benefit of any Individual, "Therefore, while boards should consider It a grave duty to exercise this power to conserve und augment the agricultural production, they should observe closely the conduct of those deferred and Immediately upon becoming convinced that any person so deferred Is not giving his entire time and earnest attention to agri cultural duty, or that he Is trifling with the deferment thus granted him, the board should forthwith call him to the colors. "All citizens should assist In mak ing this expedient forthwith and in bringing to the attention of the boards cases meriting deferment as well as cases in which deferment is being abused."
