"Boiled po : tatoes," says an authority on culin ary matters, "are ever so much bet ter If they are gently boiled." The Germans have put one over on Luther Burbank, for they hand ed the Russians a perfectly good olive branch bearing full grown lemons. The BolBhevlkl government looked for' the German proletariat to help them, but unfortunately the prolet ariat arrived in uniform anil in a hlght state of discipline. Roumanla has ceded wide terri tories to Germany in a- peace agree ment. It 1b a hard matter to tell Just now which war Germany is flght ' ing the one "for the liberation of small peoples" or the one "solely for the defense of the fatherland." It vaya to advertise if you really expect to do any business. It's the steady and constant advertiser who gets real results, it uoean t lane long to forget a business house when vou never see it's name In print.

The action of the house in falling to concur with the Jsenate In an attempt to establish a price of $2.60 for t'he 191-8 wheat crop Is in keep ing with the best Interests of tho na tion. But, with the refusal of con gress to agree on this inensure effect ing the farmers of the whole country, legislation that will effectually check profiteering Is positively de manded. Corn and Its products should alBo be placed! on a level with : wheat, and all other cereals should . be on the same .basis. Then, lot the government place a heavy and swift . hand on every concern that attenvpta to profit on manufactured food stuffs at the expense of the producer and consumer. To delay Btich legisla tion will work an Injustice on a pat riotic public, -who are clamoring for action of this sort . Federal Food Administrator W. B Ayre, of Portland, has decided that seven cento per pound is a fair price, for Rogue River salmon, and will recommend that this compensntion be allowed fisherman there.

However, men engaged in the fishing Industry on Rogue river are up in arms over the prlco fixed, and allege there will be no fishing. The season on Rognie river opened Monday. Fishermen on the Umpqua are getting 16 to 13 cents per .pound for fish, according to claims made by men engaged In the industry here. Consumers are wouderlng what It all means, and whether the price of the Umpqua fish will be fixed In ac cordance with the ruling made rela tive to Rogue river salmon. MRS.

Al though no limitation on the amount of fuel that may be stored has been flxocl, ' Fuel Administrator Holmes has completed arrangements for reg istering every fuel purchase In' the state of Oregon. Within a few dayB every purchaser of wood or coal will be compelled to file a declaration as -to the amount of fuel used last year, the quantity remaining on hand and the quantity desired. The statement must be cer tified to and any wilfully false decla ration opens the way lor government prosecution. - Purchaser will file their state ments and fuel orders with their dealers as usual and the dealers in turn will forward the date to the fuel administrator's office with their reports. Consumer's application blanks are being printed now and dealers will have them on hand, in the immedi ate future. Under the new arrangement, the dealers' reports will show for what purposes fuel Is being purchased. By tnis method Mr. Holmes will be able to keep In close touch with the needs of the state and the Information will be of utmost value In arranging for wood and coal distribution. "Everybody," Bald Mr. Holmes to day, "should order their fuel now. Otherwise they are taking big chances of being caught in a shortage this fall. The transportation situa tion, the stfortage of miners and woodsmen andi genoral conditions are such that production for Oregon's needs can only meet the demand through steady shipments and fuel storage during the summer.

Dated April 16. 1918. CORINNE C. ALLEY, n20 City Treasurer, GET EfiEJTS "GOAT" An American newspaper corres pondent who has been abroad since 1915, says American officers go to the artillery schools on the British front full of the theories that they, have gathered from books rather than practice, says the Indianapolis. Star. These young officers have, been at West Point, perhaps, and have learned all about trajectories and indirect angles and the rest of, the mathematics of gunnery. If they j are from West Point they have had some practice, too, but they soon discover that they have much to. learn. : - What they learn, it Is said, is the sort of thing that cannot be taught in any school. They learn for one thing' what Intensive gunfire is. They had readi of It, but never had known I what it really was until mey went to the front. They are usually greatly j impressed at first hy the long range suns of the Germans, one variety having a range of about 27 miles. They learn, too, that the German gunners are regular and precise in their habits; tuat, for example, they can be depended on to fire a certain number of shells precisely at noon, whereas, the British gunners sand-, wlch periods of Intense activity be tween periods of perfect rest, and the enemy never knows when to j expect firing. The uncertainty shat ters his nerves, he admits himself, ' or, as the American rudely puts It, j "getB his goat." As the Amorlcan students get used to the situation they are entirely sat-: lsfled with the effectiveness of the British guns and reach the same conclusion as that nt which the Brit ish have arrived, namely, that the very .long range guns are not espe cially desirable. For themselves they' prefer to get nearer to the enemy. ! Altogether the student officers at' the front are getting the benefit of , British experience and profiting by it. It te to get practical training with actual guns even if they must depend on French and British artil-' lery for it. I IT'S SOME CAR THE "D-40" MitcheU Six Let Us Show You J. F. Barker $ Co.
