North Jackson Street. nirents have boon endeavoring to incite uprisings in India against liritish rule. Also that a strong effort was made to get China to enter the war by harrassing Kti.s.sia and Japan. Intrigues in Cen tral America have also been attempted, according to the tele graphic reports. None of these have so far been successful. The object of all such attempts is of course easy to see. The purpose is to invoke as many nations as possible in a world-wide conflict so that the entente allies would be unable to buy supplies anywhere. If that could be accomplished the Cerman leaders doubtless believe it would result in a Teutonic victory in a very few months. A prominent magazine writer, in discussing the Cerman peace proposals of last December, expresses the view that Cer many would be willing to evacuate lielgium, northern France and possibly Alsace and Lorraine if permitted to continue to occupy Serbia, Montenegro, Poland and that part of Houmania now held by their armies. J!y making peace on those terms now, this maga zine writer expresses the view that Germany is planning a still n-eater war a few years hence to further push its apparent policy md desire for world domination. The, policy of unlimited sub marining and widespread attempts to involve many other nations war during the past lew months at least give support to that conclusion. This also probably explains the announced deter mination of the allies to continue the war until the so-called "Prussian militarism" is definitely broken. o MKDI'Olil) .MAX FOR COXGRF.SS.

A short time ago in speaking of manufacturing it was stated in these columns that every fanner is a manufacturer through the nrocesses of nature's laboratory. This idea has been made promi nent recently bv the unprecedented prices of all food products, in the In this connection the International Harvester Company has is sued a booklet bearing the title: "Kvery Farm is a Factory." Con tinuing it says: "In every state there are thousands of these factories which need our best thought and effort to make them productive. No country can become richer than its lands. From the soil comes our food and clothing; all other human needs are subordinate to these. Food is the chief material concern of life its production the most important occupation. In the hard school of experience we are slowly learning the lesson of real business economy the greatest lesson of all time that of feeding ourselves. Let us learn that lesson well. "The opportunity of the town lies in the country. The coun try can get along without the town, but no town ever has or ever will be permanently prosperous where the land is poor. The town is built on farm profits; on what farmers produce in excess of their home needs. In fact, towns are consumers, not real pro ducers. Towns are the natural evolution and outgrowth of neces sityplaces to store and distribute the world's surplus products through the channels of commerce. There is but one road to per manent city building that road leads to the farm. Kusiness is so sympathetic, so sensitive to crop production, that the lorecast of a poor wheat or corn crop all'ects the markets of the world. When the harvest fields smile, towns wax fat, and factories in crease the pay roll. Corn, wheat, and hay, beef, pork, and poultry Uiese are the soil builders, the home builders, the builders ol great cities. "The old fashioned Chamber of Commerce, ' with its cash bonusues and free factory sites, is rapidly passing away. Instead of grabbing business from each other we must realize that our opportunities lie hidden in the fertility of the soil. Towns and cities are beginning to look to the country, out to the holds ol ni'nii'iiwr eneil Cl'll(i!l t unci cotton for their real prosperity. A suc cessful hay campaign will bring lactones to the town. Hay means beef and 'pork, which beckon the packing houses and storage plant. More corn means cereal mills, glucose factories, starch factories. Flour mills locate in wheal producing sections. Cream eries follow the dairy cow, and the truck patch calls for the can ning factory. "Let us have more Chambers of Commerce and Agriculture. Let us create wealth from the opportunities at home, and not sub tract it from other communities. "When the Memphis, Tenn., business men's club organized a farm development bureau they soon found in the survey of their agricultural territory that all the cotton money was being sent away for food and feed which could be grown at home; that a one-crop system was making the soil poor and the crops short, and that injurious insects and plant diseases were doing great dam age; that money was scarce and interest rates high; that a credit system of farming was practiced; that tenantry was on the in crease; that there were poor schools, poorly equipped farms, bad roads, poorly paid teachers and preachers, and finally that the people were becoming poor." Likewise, in discussing the topic, "What's the Matter With Kansas'.'" Governor Capper of that state in a recent speech said: "The average Kansan gels up in the morning in a house made in Michigan, at the sound of an alarm c lock made in Illinois; puts on his Missouri overalls, washes his hands with Cincinnati soap in a Pennsylvania basin: sits clown to a Grand Rapid table; eats Rattle Creek breaklast-lood, and Chicago bacon cooked on a Michigan range; puts New York harness on a span of Missouri mules and hitches them to a South Rend wagon, or starts up his Illinois tractor with a Moline plow attached. After a day's work he rides down town in a Detroit automobile; buys a box of St. Louis candv for his wife, and spins back home, where he listens to music Vanned' in Camden, N. .1.' No community can increase in wealth unless it produces more than it buys. The purchasing power of any town is measured by the producing power of its trade territory. "What about these resources now '.' How about our 'farm factories'.1' Are they operating 011 a profitable basis or are they idle? Kvery business man should look into the future and ask himself these questions: "What will my town be in years from from now '." 'What is the re around my town of permanent, wealth producing value'." "A state is but the reflection of its people1. The same is true of communities, towns, and cities. Cities do not make pi-ople--people make cities. "You can organize boys' pig. poultry, and calf clubs; work for more silos, dairy cows, and allall'a; organize a community club, a cow testing association: promote- thrift and ownership by advocating that every boy and girl 111 the community ow n some thing before he is III years of age. "When we sell to ourselves the things we eat and feed, we make a profit on every pound of it. li you don't believe it think it over. "All the world loves a doer. Do something worth while, and don't worry about w ho gets the credit. Those w no e-ltase the spot light find that it is a thankless job. Do .something, and the spot light will follow you; you can't get away I rem it. Credit will fall where it is due, just as sure as God gae oii air to breathe. "Get acquainted with 011r neighbor you might like' him." Southern Oregon presents to the first congressional district if Oregon the candidacy of Representative Charles M. Thomas, of Med ford, for the Republican nomination and will back up that .andidacy with all the vim and vigor essential to success, says the Mail-Tribune. Southern Oregon has never had a representative in Congress md is entitled to one. The present incumbent (Hawley) was never in close touch with his district and has during his years in Washington drifted further and further away from the people. I'he first congressional district is progressive in politics, but is served by one of the most reactionary of the old guard stamp of politicians. Mr. Thomas is a product of progressive Iowa Republicanism a protege of Senator Cummins, and made an enviable political record in his native state. His record at the last session of th? Legislature is known to all. lie proved himself a ready debater, 1 good orator, and a two-listed lighter for that which his district isked. As Congressman he will be beard from with an aggres siveness and daring long missing, and restore to western Oregon the recognition and prestige to which it is entitled. There are a number of individuals and a few newspapers who .pparentlv do not favor the proposed good roads program for this ;tate Possibly thev do not realize the lolly of such an altitude, i'hey'will have to pav the full limit of taxes anyway, so why not tppiy the money on the roads instead of practically wasting it lor '.oinelliing else?

Wolff, of the Douglas Junk Company, vv ho was arreHiftl yester day on a charge of grand larct-ny, oil a warrant alleging the thert of a valuable turbine water wheel from II. C. liakrr, a farmer of (he Loon Lake section in western Douglas County, appeared before Justice of the Peace I. li. Kiddle this morning and requested a preliminary hearing. which was set for Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock. Wolff was represented by Attor ney Klbert Hermann, ir.ul it is thought will fight the cane, basing his defense upon the contention that the wheel was bought from another parly, who was believed by Wolff at the time to be the rightful owner. Wolff does not deny obtaining the wheel, but declares he is innocent of a theft, lie is now under S5om bonds to appear at the heuring. Mr. Ilaker stated this morning that he is positive no other person could have made the sale. He said the wheel, which is estimated to be worth $150, was in storage with some other property on Camp Creek, about four miles distant from his place, and was in the keeping of the Gardiner Mill Company. It disap peared December 1, during the time WoliT was making a trip through that section in quest of junk. The wheel was purchased to equip his place with electricity, said Mr. Bak er, and was secured at the time he obtained his saw mill. The latter plant is now in operation. Mr. liaker will remain here until after Ihe hearing. For Your Baby. The Signature of is the only guarantee that you have the Genuine Coos- Hay Times: .1. I-'.
