La Grande, Oregon, April 7, 1917. (To Editor of the Observer) Dear Sir: I would appreciate very much if you will print the following article in your paper, believing that discussion is one of the greatest educators the American people have at hand. To begin with I am not a Socialist, however, believe in many of their doctrines, and sooner or later tha great body of their ideas will be in corporated into our government, not as Socialism but as democracy, as peoples' government. The time is not, yet ripe for the adoption but as soon as all the people learn of the bene fits it will be part of our government. One of the foremost electrical en gineers of this country said that the United States could develop all the water power of the nation and make a grand trunk line of electrical en orgy stretching across the United States cross ways and" end ways and then tap lines could 'be taken off at any place and each person or family get electrical "juice" wired right into his house, barn or factory, there a meter would be attached and the juice sold at a bit more than cost. In this way all railroads would be electrical and every hamlet in the country would have government owned electric lights and power. The government should control and own the teleirraDh and telephone systems and we would be getting a residence phone for 50 centj per month and a business phone for not over $1.00. This is a government for the welfare of its people, and at the samo time we allow trusts to con trol our very necessities and amass huge fortunes out of the sweat of the $2.00 a day man. There is many a man with a family getting only $2.00 a day for six days in the weelc and many getting less. I ask any salary man who reads this article if his ( groceries and meat and fuel do not cost him $56 per month or what the poor laborer gets for all. Then take into consideration his house rent, etc. It's a disgrace to the name to call j this a Democratic form of govern ment for the people, and I am as pa triotic when I say this as any man en listed. Any man who will try to con vince a man that government owned railroads are better for the people is against the people. Any man who says that a municipal light plant is against the people's interests does not know what he is talking about and he is an enemy of the people. (To be continued.) E. W. EASTMAN. HOW TO GROW ASTERS. Seeds do best planted in a cold frame in good garden soil. If you haven't a cold frame, plant fn the open ground in shallow drills, cover tho seed very lightly with soil and keep well watered. Asters do better by transplanting. When two or three inches high transplant to their per manent lied. In order to srrow fine. healthy plants and large blossoms, bed should le composed of good soil, con taining well rotted manure and sand. Plant from 12 to 18 inches apart As to location they should have the sun at least pnrt of the day. They should be kept well watered. It is best to transplant on a cloudy day after a rain. If it. turns off warm after trans planting, water lightly two or throe times a day, cultivate at least twice a week. It only takes a few minutes and the results ore much better. N'ow do your "little bit" and help beautify the city and you mieht have a few choice flowers to display at the Aster Show that the Neighborhood club ex pects to give this fall. IS THERE ONE PARTICULAR SECTION of the citv in whiMi v. have always wanted to live? By keeping in close touch with the classi fied advertisements you may find it possible to secure a house or apart ment to vour iikinir in thnt rnr nt tho city. Watch the "For Rent" ads Adv. 4-13, 17, 24. 5-ltf. SERVICE FOR ALL The civic preparedness committee of South Carolina, with headquarters In Columbia, has designed an attrac tive badge, a reproduction of which Is shown above, and awards one of these to every person who gives assurances that he or she Is growing more food than last year. This is a part of the great movement now sweeping over the nation to induce everybody to in prenun thn nroduetion of all foodstuffs and to aid in conserving the supply now on hand, The South Carolina committee Intend ed these badges primarily for farmers, but they are also given to city folk who plant a garden this year. David II. Croker of llartsvllle is chairman of the commission. not desirable, since they Increase the liability of breaking some of the eggs and spoiling the entire batch. It must be remembered that the eggs on the bottom crack Qrst and that those in the bottom of the crocks aro the last to be removed for use. Eggs cau be put up In smaller crocks, and the eggs put In the crock first should be used first In the household. Water Qlm Method. "Water glass" Is known to the chem ist as sodium silicate. It can be pur chased by the quart Worn drugglsta or poultry supply men. It Is a pale yel low, odorless, slrupy liquid. It Is ill Inted In the proportion of one part of silicate to nine parts of distilled wa ter, ruin water or other water. In any case the water should be boiled and then allowed to cool. Half fill the ves sel with this solution and pluce the eggs In it, being careful not to crack them. The eggs can bo added a few at a time until the container Is filled. Bo sure to keep about two inches of wu ter glass above tho eggs. Cover tho crock and place it In tho coolest place available from which the crock will not have to be removed. Inspect the crock from time to time and replace any water that has evaporated with cool boiled water. How to Use Preserved Egg. When the eggs are to bo used remove them as desired, rluso hi clean, cold water and uso Immediately. Eggs preserved in water glass cau bo used for soft boiling or pouching up to November. Before boiling such eggs prick a tiny bole la the large end of the shell with a needle to keep them from cracking. They are satisfactory for frying until about December. From that time until the end of the usual storage period that is .until March they can tie used for omelettes, scram bled eggs, custards, cakes and general cookery. As the eggs age the white becomes thinner and is harder to beat. The yolk membrane becomes moro deli cate, and it Is correspondingly dilllcult to seiarate the whites from the yolks. Sometimes the white of the egg is ting ed pink after very long keeping in wa ter gluss. This is duo, probably, to a little lrou which is in the sodium sili cate, but which apparently does not in jure the egg for food purposes. Two Girl Heroes. Telephone girl in Kulo, Neb., frighten ed robbers from bnnk by Uring revolver, and daughter of sheriff at Trenton, Tenn., saved negro prisoner from mob by running away with jail keys.

Injunction token out by Wichita (Kan.) hotel keeper to prevent Installa tion of town clock In city hull because It would disturb Ills guests. t 4 WINTER WHEAT AND RYE ONLY CROPS SO FAR SOWN THIS YEAR Of 1917's crops only winter wheat aiid rye have been sown. The department of agriculture has recently reported winter wheat Indications were for a crop of 430.000,000 bushels as against tho poor crop of 482.000,- 000 bushels in l!Uil and with the bumper crop of 074.000,000 bush- els in 1015. Rye this year promises to yield 00,000,000 bushels, about 2.000,- 000 bushels more than In 1010 and 15.O00.1XK) more than lu 1015. Itye, howovcr, is a minor crop.

Cleveland, May 1. (Special) Two very proud and loyal young American women were passengers on an out bound local today. They were return ing to their homes at Medina, near here; proud because they had seen their sweethearts enlist; loyal be cause they had done their duty by Uncle Sam, When war was declared, Charles P. Donahue told his fiancee, Myra Aver ill, of his intention to enlist, and asked her to postpone the wedding. At the same time, Donahue's chum, Paul Bowman, made up his mind to fight for Old Glory, and asked Nora Good if she was willing to wait until he was free. The young wqmen not only consent ed, but proudly accompanied their sweethearts to the United States Ma rine Corps recruiting station here, where tooth boys enlisted and were immediately sent to the training sta tion, Port Royal, S. C. That the parting of the four lovers was not without its dramatic interest 'is vouched for by the Marine sergeant who was present,, and who afterwards remarked: "Far be it from me to dis pute General Sherman; but some things about war are heavenly. That's it heavenly." R.N. Stanfield Goes To Washington ' Stanfield, Ore., April 30. (Special) "I am going to see to it that the people of tho eastern states and es pecially the members of the conven tion sit up and take notice of Oregon," said R. N. Stanfield, speaker of the House of Representatives of the Ore gon Legislature, on his departure for Washington, D. C, where he goes as the representative of the governor and the Oregon Council of Defense, where, at the suggestion of Secretary of War Baker, delegates from all the states will meet for the purpose of consider ing and advising methods of conserv ing the food supply and fuel supply of the country, fixing prices and methods of encouraging greater production of food supplies. "We were the first state to fill our quota of men for the Navy, we were tho first in tho organization of Red Cross and we are the first and fore most in really getting down to the work of conserving our food supply, forming our council of defense and in accepting without a murmur the true significance of a state of war. We are doing 'our bit' and doing it like men and I feel proud to represent such a commonwealth at this convention. It alone will give me the courage to stand up and tell the people what to do for my people are setting an ex ample which the whole country must applaud and follow." Mr. Stanfield had no definite in formation as to what would be done by this commission further than the general public outlines, but there is no man in the northwest better qualified for tho commission than he is, for he is personally familiar with the food supply, not only of Oregon, Our want ads bring results. $ 4- A NEW ONE ON THE FORD 1 This is not a funny story or a joke, but a new Auto Enamel made by Pratt & Lambert, the makers of Vitralite Enamel and "No. 38" and "No. 61" Varnishes.
