' ' Since the high cost of living Is en gaging the attention ol nearly every person in the United States, the fol lowing passages from a private let ter, a copy of whloh has been, receiv ed by the Belgium high commission of the United States, from Mullnes, la the occupied portion of Belgium, 'have a special -interest.- "Wle are all well.

In the praise and sympathy given so generotusly to wives and mothers of soldiers In. this war, grand mothers are not often mentioned, but still In Prance at least, the grand mother is the soul of the country, according to the foreign news service" of the woman's committee of the Council of National Defense. "They are the women who gave to France the men at Verdun, and they are now making it possible abroad for the women to take the men's places in factory innidl business, to be the bitoadwUnner for the children. It Is the women of ilhe last generation who are taking care of the little children, caring for them while the mothers are at work, arranging for or suwea-intendlnB thotr education, being at advanced age mothers all over again, for the good of their country."

Eastman kodak films Photo & Kodak Shop. at Clark's tf SUGGESTIONS ABOUT SPRAYING FRUIT TIES Control of apple and pear scab con only le accomplished by preventing the germination of the spores upon tlie aurtace of .the leaves or fruit, This is done by keeping a conitlng of ruugh'lde on the foliage and small fmiltH from the time that the winter buds open until moist spring weather Is over, mointuie Is necessary for the germination of the spores of this common funguB, and for this reason scab is less prevalent in dry seasons than in wet ones. The local weather in Douglas county has been ildeal lately for the spread of Ven- Mnl poml, whloh is tho technical name of apple snub. Complete clas sification nomenclature describes it Ascomycete, Pyrenomyoetes. CONSERVATION STORE Sphaerlalee, Sphoeriaceal, Venturla pomi, and when K gots beyond the control of the grower no doubt this is a very good name. The spores have been scattered for two weeks from the fruiting bodies In tlva old. leaves on the ground. There is an abundant supply of these spores and under Ideal conditions the infection would become serious were the fruit not properly sprayed-. After the first Infection on the buds the life cycle is quickly passed and the new spots are again producing myriads of spores to continue the Infection during the moist Bprlng weather. ' Four or live applications of a fun gicide aire advised, but if the weather does not continue damp and rainy one or more of these may be omit ted. - The earliest spray is the pie aormant. ' Tho second is the pink or pre-blosoom spray. It Is time now to make this on apples. The third is the calyx application, and the fourth follows 1 0 days or two weeks later. In ease of late spring rains a fifth should not bo missed, apply ing In the second, codlin moth spray. The pink and calyx applications are the most Important, bocause Infec tion is at -its height during that peri od. I Either . bordeaux or lime-sulphur may be used. Bordeaux has the dis advantage of (burning the foliage and russetlng the fruits if the weath er turns right and ought to use used very carefully after the blossoms open. Lime-sulphur in stengtho not Btronger then 1 to 80 is a .better spray for the foliage applications It can be used still weaker up to to 60 for the loot application with good ocntrol or the fungus. The theory of fungius control is preven tion not cure. Do not allow the spores to infect the fruit or leaves, for after the tissues are lnvadied by this parasite, spray will avail but '. The Infection takes place on both sides of the leaves, suggesting thorough work with the rod or gun Hood River found that 60 per oent of the damage occurs in tho top of the trees, not because the fungus likes the higher parts of the tree, but be cause the tops were not covered! with spray sufficiently. A specimen of sweet clover plant has been on exhibition In the display windows of this office for the past two or threo days, ana commands attention of farmers and stockmen This particular plant was pulled u from along the road near shady Point by County Agent Hurd, and gives an excellent idea of what may ne accomplished by sowing pastures with scedi of this desirable forage plant. Thlo roots penetrate deeply, and there Is no bettor soil builder than sweet clover. If one wants to roinvlgorate am old piece of ground sweet clover is the thing that will bring quickest resulta. Sown in or chon ds and plowed under It does won ders. Cut early while the stalks are tender, It makes 'good hay. while It has a little brackish taste, stock soon acquire a liking for it. It never bloats stock, and is a sure crop. Be sides all these good qualities, when In blossom sweet clovor supplies honey bees with a world of material for converting into honey, anidi It al so makes oarly and late pasture for stock, as It will grow when nearly everything else is killed by frosty weather. Swoet clover, meven be comes a pest, as the roots die out overy two years. Whore the plants are allowed to mature they will re- seed the ground. DAILV WEATHER REPORT. U.
