Newspapers here regard the German agreement as a development of the greatest im portance, , and tantamount to . the overthrow of the-Bbert-Haase orga nization and the adoption, at least theoretically of tfhe existing system in Russia. At present, however, the German councils are not dominated by the BolshevlM element. Some of the papers think the step taken is a big bluff for purpose of persuading the allies that old Germany is de funct. Others believe that the men ace Is largely exaggerated to impress the entente natlolns with the difficul ties to be encountered. CLEARED OP JUNES. . . PARIS, Nov. 25.

A LONGER SCHOOL DAY Slightly lengthening (he school day is a part of the program planned by Superintendent Aubrey G. Smith to make up the work recently lost through . quarantine. Superintendent Smith says, that there are two means by which work may be effectively made up, the first being the lengthen ing of the regular dally session and the second! being the Installation of a Saturday session. That both of these methods are outside the law, is admitted by Superintendent Smith, but he anticipates the hearty co operation of parents and teachers In assisting the children in filling the gaps made In their studies through the enforced and quite necessary quarantine period. Superintendent Smith does not favor a Saturday ses sion, but thinks that a longer dlay could he easily managed and would be productive of great good. He suggests that school begin thirty minutes earlier in tne morning. That Is, classes would convene at 8:30 each day Instead of 9 o clock as has been the custom. He believes that this early session will In no way inconvenience parents or children, accustomed ns they are to arising an hour earlier each day. In dlBparagment of home study as a. means of making up back work, an- nnrlntendent Smith says that this would be difficult in many coses, be cause of the character ot many 'homes, which would make intensive and concentrated study Impossible. The board has not yet taken any action upon this matter, but at the next meeting Superintendent Smith will present the plan to tnem. GRAZING OX NATIONAL FOREST.

THE AMERICAN HEN NOT TO BE DERIDED Among the government visitors that come to and fro Is Mr. U. C. Upboii of the Department of Agricul ture. Mr. Upson, who has his state headquarters at Corvallls, is conferr ing In this city with C. J. Hurd, County Agriculturist, and with ,G. W. Burt, local Poultry lender. Mr. Upson is much Interested in the state production of poultry and' states that the Government haB taken over the production of Poultry, which has a very profitable future in the United States', owing to the devastat ed areas of Europe and great food shortage for such an industry. Better stock and more effiflclent management is the cry of the Govern ment and through these state and country directors the Industry is helped to grow. Through these means the worlds market is to be stocked! this coming year. ' . Mr. Upson has in his posossion in teresting data that makes the small chicken raiser wonder what Is wrong with Ills chickens. He states that1 the average profit per fowl is $4.00 per year. He adds that the stock is of a high strain. Numerous persons think "question marks" but Just to convince the people, ho told that he was the owner ot a poultry farm at Grants Pass and absolutely controls the market at that place, receiving for the egg -production 80 cents per dozen. ... . . .. . STRICT QUARANTINE BE . .At a meeting of the; city and ooun-H ty health ofneers with the Mayor add Council this afternoon, the question of closing the schools, theatres and churches on account of renewal of the influenza pestilence was discuss ed. It was aecided that the disease is increasing, that the medical frater nity has- no specific cure for the malady, and therefore a rigid qua rantine must be enforced upon every home where the disease shows itself. No, persons will be allowed to ?o to or come' from such homes until the patients are recovered and premises fumigated. Placards will be hung out where cases develop. Tt is the idluty of every citizen to aelst the public in stamping out the pestilence by reporting cases at once and by adhering to quarantine regulations' Public 'safety demands this coopera tion. The schools and churches and the theatres will be permitted to con tinue at present, but unless this drastic quarantine has the Immediate effect of reducing the number of cases, all, public .places where per sons congregate will be closed.

OAKLAND LASSIE TELLS FAIR TRIP Winner of First Prize In Indus trial Work Writes of , Her Experience.' , PINNED FAITH TO HENS White Leghorns Responded to Pains taking Core and Proved Them ' solves Money Mukers Guest of Htjito at Fair Grounds. How I won my Trip to the State Fair! I -have been doing club work for two years. I began In March, 1917, with seven S. C. W. Leghorn ihens in Division one, or the egg-laying con test. These hens laid fifty-nine dozen eggs in the six months. I lost one hen In A.igust. In Division two: I set thirty eggs, hatched thirty chicks and raised twenty-eight, fifteen of which were pullets. . When fair time came, I sent two pens of chickens to the Fair. In Di vision I, I sent four hens, and in Di vision II, four pullets' and one cock orel. : At the County Fair; I won second prize on both pens and at the State Fair, I won fourth prize on both pens, In all ten dollars. Thin was a great surprise and very en couraging. On January 1, thiB year, I began' with twenty hens In Division 1. I lost one hen In January and another in June. I had an average of eigh teen hens from January 1 to Sept. 1, (having used two hens to hatch and raise chickens). These lalrt 2,486 eggs, for which I received nearly ninety dollars or an' average profit of over three dollars per hen. I had -papa make me some trap nests, and kept a record of the eggs each hen laid. My best hens laid from twenty-four to twenty-nine eggs a month. One of my best layers (No. 117) laid slxty-flve eggs In sixty eight days. When she laid eleven days without mSssrhr,'; "we thought It wonderful; but skipping one day, she next laid twenty-one days, nnrt1 miss ing one day again she then laid' for twenty-four days. Some of iuj hens will pass t)he two-hundred-egg-mark In the year. A few- were poor layers. They go to market. . I sold eggs for hatching from the (best layers. I fed them whole grain In the litter at morning and noon. At night I fed them a mash composed of cooked oatB, beef scrap, bran, aborts, and tho prepared laying mash, moistened with skim milk. I always kept oyster shell anvil grit before them. I fed them about one-half pound of cut bone every day, as long as I could get It. This year I also raised fifty-four young chickens, twenty-eight Tiolng pullets. I sold forty pounds of cock erels, receiving $8.40 for them. I kept a few of Hie choicest for bree ders. . I won the first prize at the State Fair In Poultry Dtvislon 1, I am looking forward with great pleasure to my trip to the Oroiron Agricultural College next summer. I Intend to take club work again next year. -T think I shall take cann ing and sewing. MY TRIP TO THE STATE FAIR. I started for the State fair grounds from Oakland on the morning of Sep tember 24, arriving soon after noon. My parents went with me. I was met at the station by -Mr. Vedder, who took me to the Boy's and Olrl's camp, where I met Mrs. Marls and Miss Harrington, the matrons. The first th.ng we did was to make our bods. We were then allowed to go about the Fair Grounds until five o'clock. We had dinner nt six. The tables were nicely arranged, the food very nice, and there was always plenty or It. At nearly every meal we had short talks which were very interesting. Ona morning we went to the new pavllllon and saw tho German tro phies, which attracted much atten tion. All the boys and girls of the camp who could go vere taken tn see the State Houbo on Thursday In a Street car. We went Into tho Legislative rooms the Senate Chamber and House of Representatives. Thj scats and desks reminded me of a school room. They had raised platforms In the front of each room for the Pres ident and Speaker. Around each room hun;; pictures of the governors. The Governor, State School Superin tendent, and other State officials had their offices In this building. They didn't have time to tnke us Into tho penitentiary and asylum, but stoppeC In front of these places for us to see them. ' The next day my parents took Mar tha, James and me to the park by The state house, where -we saw the Wslte Memorial Fountain. Wo were told that this was an electrical foun tain so arranged as to play .In m?ny colors and was a beautiful sight at night. On the tame day we went Into tho printing ollfce of "Tho Dally Ca pital Journal", whore we saw the linotype mrchine working and the D ineib printed, cut, and folded.. My father bought us each a ipaper, as a souveuir. It just happened tihat the State Fair prize lists of the Industrial Club members were In It, - As this was my first trip, to the State Fail, I do not know what the exhibits were in former years,, but all that I saw, were very Interesting. .Many people visited' the stock barns. The Indians work' was especially In teresting, and the ohildron'? exhibits vere very attractive. '. One of. the barns was filled with the Boys' and Girls' pigs and sheep. ' I stayed at the Fair camp about four days and had an enjoyablo time 1 wish to thank every one who helped to make it so. DATES FOR LIVE STOCK RE C. M.

McNeal. ) To HIsjEicceUency, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States. ' Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your valued communication of recent date which I have perused with care and some, confusion of mind. The Kaiser tells me in confidence that )ie Is In the same fix. I am therefore writing this In the hope that you may be able, to relieve us of our -penplexlttes and make It clear to us where we are at and also where you are at. I hadl supposed until the last week or two that I had a fairly clear idea sb to your position with reference to this var and also with reference to the government ot the United' States; but at the present time the situation seems rather cloudy to me. 1 think therefore it would be well before our friendly - correspondence : continues further, to ask you a few questions.' I had been led to suppose, for example, from your previous notes, that the settlement.of this war was entirely in your hands and that while as a mat ter of courtosy you might occasion illy mention to France and Great Britain and Italy, what you were do tng it -was not a matter of - any par ticular importance whether they were consulted or hot. - Joist recently, how ever' the disturbing information comes to me - and the Kafser that these nations are holding a confer ence and fixing up terms which they propose to offer, us -without asking you whether they may-ao tneet-or not.i Do they have the right, to speak frankly arid plainly, - as you would my, to do this?1 . , Secondly: I gather ' from your extended and varied correspondence that you not only spoke for the entire people of the United States, but that vqu were the United States, and. that vou have been conducting the war largely. I may say, almost entirely as a private matter, andi thi the only ,proper business of the United States congress was to ascertain what you wanted done and then proceed to do It without question or. back talk of iny kind. In this view qf the privi leges and prerogatives of congress I may ; say, sir, that your view Is in entire harmony with that of the Kal ler and the leading men of Germany.. One of the troubles we are having right now is the apparent growth of fool notion that the German people ought to have some part in the gov ernment and that the relchstag ought to be something more than a mere debating society. ,- I now learn on wlhat seems to be reasonable good muthorlty that there are a great many oeqple In the United States who still ehtertaln the opinion that they havo right to elect a congress without consulting you and tlhat the congress when elected is a co-ordinate branch of your government and. has a right to some say concerning the manner In which the government shall be run. In view of all these disturbing and conflicting rumors, before negotia tions proceed further between us, I would like to lhave you answer the following specific questions: - 1. Is it true that you are not tho entire United States government? 2. If you answer that you do not assume to be the entire United States government, but that you represent the whole people, am t to understand that the only people who are entitled to representation are the.-ped.ple who vote the Democratic ticket? ' 3. Am I to understand that while there are people In the United States calling themselves Republicans, 'you hold that they have no rights which any -white man Is bound' to respect? 4. Is it your purpose to first dis franchise the Republicans and then prorogue congress entirely? 6. Is it a fact that your assump tion, as we have understood it over here, that you have the sole power to fix the terms of peace is unwar ranted by the facts or hare the gov ernments of France, Great Britain. Italy and Belgium any right to butt In and say what the terms ot peaco shall be? . I told you In a previous letter which you evidently received tn due course of mall, that Germany wan ready to accept your fourteen prin ciples. You wrote right back and asked what we meant. How do you suppose we could answer that quest' ton when so far as I have been nblo to learn nobodly knows what the four teen principles meant? That was la . (Continued on pa;e 4.) .
