FOLLOW THE FLAG After manv months spent in deckling the relative merits of the bandit Villa and the treacherous Carranza, our government recog nized the latter as head of the de facto gov ernment in Mexico. Carranza's promise that he would put an end to the butchery and rob bery of our citizens by Villa was accepted in good faith, but this promise did not in the ieast interfere with Villa's regular routine for he kept it up. and to cap the climax came over on American soil to kill soldiers and civil ians, who should have some protection under the flat This last act aroused Washington. . . . . . - t I : and alter some time spent in diplomatic toi respondence, the man elevated to the head of the Mexican government through the act of our government, allowed United States sol diers to pursue the bandit chieftain and "get Villa." One reason that we didn't get Villa is because his brother outlaw, Carranza, would not let us get him. lie allowed our soldiers to enter Mexico and now they are interned there with Carranza doing all he can to throw obstacles in their way. Wishing to make a hero of himself with the Mexicans who do not understand the mission of our soldiers, he has now informed Washington that our troops can move but in one direction backward, or accept war. "' 1:1- uhnnMum has stirred our watchful waiter.; to take action and the wheels of the government have been set in motion to mobilize the national guard along the bor der s'j that our regulars can enter Mexico if necessarv. At this time it looks like war, and notwithstanding the weak, wobbling, uncer tain policy of the government. America will respond to the call for volunteers and back ii) the president in his first decisive step. All fair-minded, patriotic Americans have hoped that the Mexican problem might be solved without war and the sacrifice it entails, but when it is incnntestably proven that Carranza and his officers have not only broken every promise as to aiding the capture of the mur derers but have given them aid by obstructing- our efforts, we are convinced that it is time to treat Carranza and his followers the same as Villa and wage relentless war on them until their bandit power is completely destroyed and our citizens in Mexico have some protec tion thrown around their lives and property. RURAL CREDITS WILL HELP THE FARMER "As it now stands the rural credits constitu tional amendment h;rs probably combined within it the wisdom of a larger number if people than any bill that has been submitted to the people of Oregon since the adoption of the constitution," says Dr. Hector Macpher son, of ihe ( ). A. C. Jiureau of Organization anil Markets, who has been connected with the preparation of lhe measure. "the I ranters of this measure," continues Dr. Mrupherson, "claim neither honor nor originality for themselves. They have been assemblers of ideas and not originators. They have consulted fanners in all parts of the state, lawyers, bankers, real estate dealers, statesmen and professors of agricultural eco nomics. The paramount aims were absolute safety on the one hand, and safeguarding the system from abuse by land speculators on the other hand. Students of the measure will recognize thai the committee has gone the limit in attempting to achieve both of these aims." Copies of the final draft were submitted to rural credits experts of California, Harris Weinstock and Professor El wood Meade. Pro fessor Meade has had several years' experi ence as director of a similar but more far reaching system of rural credits in Australia, ilolh of these experts commend the measure and claim that its adoption will tend to pro mote the prosperity of the farmers and the agricultural development of Oregon. Mr. Meade hopes that the measure will be the forerunner of further legislation that will authorize state advances to settlers to assist tenant farmers and young people entering on their life work to become land owners. "What we most need now," concluded Dr Macpherson, "is volunteers who will give enough time to the movement to get 1(K) names on the petition within the next few days and then keep up their educational propa ganda until they know the bill is passed in November." Copies may be had of C. E. Spcnce, Oregon City, or J. D. Brown, Arlington. THE FARMER'S HENS Ti c census of 1910, which contains the latest authentic figures to be had on the poul try industry of the United States, discloses that in the year previous Oregon produced 7.l,9"0 dozen eggs. Placing their sale value at 15 cents a dozen, which was probably not far from correct, we find they had a gross value of $1.15.4S5.50. No statistics are given as to the value of poultry produced, but it is perhaps safe to sav that it was well up to the value of the eggs. Sav, in round numbers, the hens of the state produced for their own ers iirlW 1J.J50.1HH). The great bulk of this came from the hens of the farmers. Vet about one-half our farm ers think it is needless to take proper care of the chickens on the place. In most cases this care falls to the farmers' wives, and where given a free hand she as a rule makes a suc cess of the business. Hut is it a trivial business? Let us coin pare the poultry output of that year with some other products of the field and farm. Take the much-vaunted apple. The production that year was 112,225 bushels. (living t hem the fictitious value of $1 a bushel they amounted to but about a twentieth of the hen products. Our potato crop was valued at $4.(XX).(HX). our hav crop at ijW.OOO.lXX). our wool clip at $-'.-51XUXH) and our wheat crop at about ,$12.tHH). tX)0. So it can be seen that the poultry busi ness is by no means a trivial affair. Hut it is nothing like it ought to be, noth ing to what it would be if the owners of fowls would but use the machinery at hand. viz.. the Oregon Agricultural College, with its con sulting exHMts. The fanners all pay a tax toward the upkeep of this institution. It be longs to the people at large. If the fanners would onlv make full use of it in this one in dustry and follow the advice of iis poultry experts closelv. Oregon hens would return as much profit each year as does the wheat crop. Oregonian. belittle a scaud is to LEST WE FORGET Portland advertisers make a mistake in overlooking the country press. The small cit y dailies and country weeklies are read very closely, and should be considered along with the Portland dailies when advertising cam paigns are planned. Aside from direct advertising value, there is the sentiment side, too. The Portland Chamber of Commerce sends out columns of news notices, much of which is used in the country press, which is used in the main is .very loyal to Portland and tries to be helpful and constructive. Portland's policy of working for the up building of the entire state, while obstructed somewhat at home, is believed in by the press of nearly every section of Oregon. Portland advertisers should not forget this. Oregon Voter. 'I he conference between the railroad man agers and brotherhood representatives nearly came to a break une 12, when the railroads declared that if the trainmen and enginemen insisted on an eight-hour day, their demand would be considered on condition that if they be paid on an eight-hour day basis they be required to work the eight-hours. As it is now a trainman or engineman is guaranteed a day's pay regardless of whether he works one hour or the full dav. as soon as he is called for duty. The brotherhood representa tives want this agreement to remain in effect ami declared if the roads tried to abolish it the conference might just as well be called off' Advertisme' has cost more money than all other commodities combined, but it is worth the price." says Tom Richardson, formerly connected with the Portland Commercial Club, in speaking before the students of the Oregon Agricultural College.

P.ccausc of the heavy snowfall last winter forest rangers found it necessary this sprint' to remove two feet of snow from the Heaver Creek nursery in Utah, so that the yoimir trees might be uncovered by the time they were needed for spring planting on the na tional forests of that region.
