Sell H The Observer want ads will sell it pares the fish, spanks the children and makes the clothes and footgear for the family. Then, when sho thinks she has earned, it, the woman goes to the cache where last year's fish have been "ripened" and regales herself on what the natives here regard aa the choicest tit-bit, but from which a self-respecting dog would fleo in horror. That is the pinnacle of her joys. Her routine of conduct and service falls to levels so repulsively low that they cannot even be hinted at here. If you ever doubt that the world "do move" forward just come north to these flat tundra lands and spend a day as the barabara guest of a folk still wallowing in the dirt age. Rodent Control Is U. S. Bureau Problem Biological Survey and County Agents Unite to Exterminate Omnivorous Pests One County Lost $75,000 One Year. It's time for the frisky rabbit and busy ground squirrel to hunt their covers. No less distinguished person ages than highly specialized scientists of the United States biological survey and the county agents of the Oregon Agricultural college extension service, are after their scalps, pelts and mis chievous little lives. The work of rodent control has al ready been under way with some startling results and will now be coordinated to increase its effective ness. Farmers in the counties infest ed by the gnawing pests are joining hands with the federal and college men to combat them, demanding the greatest number of lives for the least amount of money. R. A. Ward, of the United States bureau of biological survey now in charge of the work in jackrabbit and ground squirrel control in Oregon, working with the county agricultural agent, has concluded a campaign in Crook county which resulted in the killing of 75,000 rabbits last year, at a cost of about $700. It is estimated that if the rabbits had lived and ef fected the normal increase they would reach the enormous total of (300,000 this coming year. The loss in a single Central Oregon county last year due to jackrabbits was about $75,000, while in Crook county the fanners had the pleasure of seeing more than this sum roll away to market on wheels instead of going into the stomachs of the om nivorous rabbits. With County Agent Blanchard, Mr. Ward held 18 meetings in Crook county recently, where the clubs organized expressed the inten tion of continuing their campaign. Poison is the weapon used. It is mixed by a specially trained mixer, and applied under the direction of ex perts so that in no way it endangers the lives of domestic animals and birds.

The West and the War Gertrude Atherton's structures on the West, as not being sufficcntly in terested in the war, have aroused a I storm of indignation and at the same time have served to bring out tne facts. The West in general resents the tnvputation that it isn't intelligently aware of the vital issues at stake, ami isn't concerned with relieving the suf fering the war has brought to Europe. The people of the prairies, mountains and coast states, being as wide-awake i as any part of the nation, know well emough what is going on. An eastern man, after spending eight months in California, says the attitude of the Pacific Coast is as follows: "The country beyond the Rockies is 7,000 miles from tho European distur- ibance, and its echoes are correspond ingly dim. The newspapers do not print the war news so fully as the eastern papers do: and bo, while read ers there are triven all the important facts, they miss much of the color. 'There is rot a constant stream of ar rivals from Europe reaching the West i and quickening interest and sympathy There must be a, finish to all things and this special will finish the Coats. Every Coat reduced to almost nothing. Every Cloth Coat in the store for less than $16.75. $42.50 Cloth Coats $16.75 Same reduction all through the line. Coats $1.00 to $16.75 the most wonderful bargains ever heard of but we must close out every coat. SUITS About twenty Suits left that are this season's Suits best of materials and good styles. Prices for Thursday and Wednesday $3.90 to $11.75. These are bargains worth while. Come in and see these bargains. Now is the time as they must be closed out. E. E. with the belligerents, as there is in tho East. Submarines are not calling at western ports. Little European shipping of any kind comes there, compared with the great volume of shipping that maintains the contnet of the Atlantic-and Gulf ports with the war zone. Neither are there scores of young Americans writing letters home from the French and British ambulance service. In every respect the war is farther away from the daily life and attention of the people of the West. And the Pacific Coast hns not even shared the prosperity which the war has brought to the East 'the wave of prosperity spent itself against the eastern Rockies. "It is therefore quite natural that East and West should look at the con flict with different emotions." The editor of one of the leading newspapers on the western coast re marked the other day that he thought the Coast states would secede from the Union if the United States entered the European war. When such bosh is written out here, the West must expect that tho East will have distorted ideas about this part of the country. Neither Miss Atherton nor the editor is right. The West knows about the war, knows that it is across the ocean, knows that this country might get into it and that such a step would be costly in many ways. But the West, brimming with pat riotism, thinks it not necessary to run around in a fit but that sanity is ihc necessarv thing as this country pre pares itself to be the meti.h for any foe that thinks it can clan witn u.
