TRADE AFTER THE WAR. An 'International economic program such as that drawn up in . Paris by representatives of the Allies must be regarded as u war measure, even though its terms are designed to ex tend beyond the period of conflict. Tibial part which pertains to the Al lies'' conduct during the war is the least important third of the agree Yesterday we looked at the Grande 1 ment. tor " 18 "lrea,,y P'cy , Ronde valley with It fearful waste, I foree except of the unification, in a' its large tracts Impossible of Intensive I Points- of tne llsrt of contraband farmfng- 8W the new crop doing its (and ' articles whose export is best, and wondered1 noW many people ' prohibited, , , , j this Valley would support if farmed ! measures proposed for the r. as Europe is farmed. encountered a man born and raised in "Hwiti5r,and anl wo put the question o him. i ' i ' J'Wel),' he said in reply, "Switzer land is half as large as the state of Oregon and she cares for four million people and cares for them well. As you know Switzerland is not all till able but has a large mountain area. I should say that the Grande Ronde valley if farmed as Europeans are forced to farm, it would furnish a good living for 300,000 people." Tremendous chance in America left, isn't there? ; ' I ORPETT'S ACQUITTAL. In one of the Sunday papers a long Associated Press story told of the ac quittal of Orpett on the charge of having murdered Marian Lamhert, and following that story was a brief dispatch from Albany, Oregon, prais ing tihie swift justice meted out to a boy who stole some trivial thing and was tried, convicted and began serv ing his sentence within twenty-four hours. Orpett's case was n bad one. A jury says he was not guilty of mur dering the girl but there aro many people who will always think he was llhto prime cause of the death, whether he administered the drug with his own hand or whether his actions forced Marian Lambert to take her own life. Yet the world dismisses the enso, in a way, and turns attention to tine poor boy in Albany, Oregon, who stole a few cents worth of goods and is serving time for the offense. PROBLEM OF THE SOUTH.

The Allies also propose to prohibit or place some dheck on the importation of goods from the countries with whom they are how at war. In short, Germany and Austria are to be left out in the cold, while the Allies de velop in their own lands those Indus tries of Germany' and Austria on whidh they have been dependent in the pnst. This policy is intended to last now only during the reconstruc tion period, but as long thereafter as possible. i . . i 1 f The various governments have yet to adopt the measures proposed. It then remains to be seen how the sdheme will work out. If it holds, the United States will certainly bene fit, for it will enjoy not only the trade j of the Allies, but a vastly increased j commerce with the central powers, for i whom America would necessarily bo j the best market. But the permanence of war built trade arrangements in time of peace is doubtful. The Teu- j tonic countries will bend every energy; diplomatic and commercial, to i break th'o barriers, and it will prob-1 ably not be long before Mars is forced j to yield to the persuasive arguments j of Dives. - j Keep in mind the Safety First pic nic on August 17th for that is the day that the mountains around Gibbon will be alive with merriment.

The effect of these poisons upon nearly all parts of the body are no different from that of most other germ poisons, except that these poisons are particularly in jurious to the nerve cells in the spin al cord, which govern the muscles of tho limbs particularly the lower limbs. In an attack of the disease the partial or complete destruction of these nerve cells takes place in a few hours, but the full eiTects are not ap parent for several months. Ilnasmuch as the germ of infantile paralysis seems to be disseminated by flies, a systematic extermination of these pests is important in preven tion of the disease. However, keeping the child in a high state of resistance, in the best of health, is of even great er imnortanrn. flprmc ot-fn.V those whose disease-resisting powers are low; germs find a portal of entry in a weak spot in tho body. In the case of infantile paralysis, the "weak spots" are the noso and throat, and the stomadh ami intestine. If we are to avoid this dread disease we must keep the child's air passages in healthy condition and keep' the stom ach and bowels in good shape.
