WHO ARE SLACKERS? There is a clipping in today's paper from an eastern 'paper making the inquiry, Are Farmers Slackers? In this country they are not at least there is no special . evidence -of it. They have responded equally ..well wjth . persons of other' industries in the purchase of bonds and -in answering any and all other demands made upon them in the country's hour of need. - It may be set down as a proposition that will work S out in the end that there is no particular class of people i! who can be set down as slackers. The inclination to shirk ! is an individual and not a class defect. J he next loan drive will probably give a closer line VIEWS VARY OX NEW LEAGUE i i i i i There are numerous oinuicr.s beimr cxnresscd rcnafd-'! ing the new Non-Fartisan League which is bouncing across the West from North Dakota, with remarkable speed. .'lIZZIIIIIZZIIIIIZIII Here is what Editor Lee Initio ol the Elgin Recorder thinks about the organization: At the present time considerable space of the Oregon press is being given oyer to a discussion of the so-called Non-Partisan League rather the press is exposing rather than discussing. The Recorder has only a limited knowledge of the organization, but if we are to judge by what we read it is a good organisation for patriotic men to leave alone. That the leaders of the organization are attempting to gain a foothold in Oregon has been evident for. some time. The. farmer is particularly appealed to,N and is coaxed and baited with a lot of promises that can never bear results through class politics. We are in formed on good authority that tho Non-Partisan League A New Shipment of SPATS in Grey and Champagne, $2.00 pair t AX EXPLANATION lied Cross Workers In Imva District , -Meet Itcgului'ly. . than any effort that has yet been made to determine who! has been caught redhamk-d in associating-with the curse (arc the ones who refuse to do what they should. Some '! of the slackers may be farmers; some may be nianufac- ..!! turers or merchants or bankers. If it happens that there ;; are such 'people, and we' may look for a mighty few in jjthis locality, they are going to he dragged into the lime hjligbt. If there is a farmer, for instance, who has been able to profit by the arbitrary advance in the price, of ,ihis products and he doesn't "come through," he will be i! known. If he is a slacker in any other trade or occupa !j tion, it will be found out. There will be ho escape and ! in the end it will be found out that the slackers will be jj in a class by themselves, and a dejected, lonesome as well known to as loathesome class at that. LA15IES AND POLYGAMY What happens when a government urges polygamy to raise the birthrate is told bv the Rev. "liatns k'masl. a German who has been touring (ieruianv for' six mouths, and since his return to Switzerland has been publishing the results of his investigations. A vigorous campaign is being waged in many districts, he says, bv the authorities, with "Dear a Child for the Fatherland" as, its slogan. Never mind just now the effects of this promiscuous mating upon the adults -immediately affected and upon society in general. (Jive your attention to the babies. "I was credibly informed," says Mr. k'inast, "that in Munich district alone there were 1 2,000 such illicit marriages, resulting in 18,000 babies since the last: two and a half years, while the authorities were not able to save the lives of more than 4,000 babies, so far, begotten by this method! , ' Talk about waste! Was ever product ion of anything on earth conducted with such disregard of plain rules of lnismess efficiency? To the Observer: In your." Mt. Glen" news items of, February 27 mention was made of a Red Cross organization meeting wllli Mrs. B. M. Biirland and under her direction. This is an i'error in entirety. The Iowa district ladles organized a Red Cross sewing circle several weeks ago and have been meeting each Thursday at the home of Mrs. of the I. W. W. and various unpatriotic and destructive i n. m. Dm-iand and devoting the en forces. That the organization lias practiced sedition andltlre uay to Red Cl'089 W0lk- ThcIr joined with unpatriotic ami anarchistic- forces seems t(, .work I. don. in connection with and .. , .. ! , I tnidiv the supervision of the I.a l)C well established. ' i Grande Red Cross organization and Many Oregon publications are alarmed at the attempt) much enthusiasm is' shown, by each of the organization to'-beciVmo a 'power intliis state. ' 'The ; nnd every one of the iowa', district ulnrtri may be well founded, but we are iucjined to believe j workers, b. m: durland.; tliat the movement win not make any great strides in Oregon politics for the simple reason that we do not be lieve that the farmers of the state are going to be coaxed into linkimr themselves with auv organization that is o tied up with the I. W. . At any rate, we should be on our guard and see to it that the politically urogressive state of Oregon does not become a spawning bed for the so-called Xon-Partisan clique. ' o For the least bit of heedlessness on your part in food, conservation someone somewhere in tho world must suffer privatjon. The Pood Administration has mastered the problem of America's food in such a way that every ounce of food conserved and ke).t in the currents of trade goes to the empty stomach of 'someone in Europe who is iroinir to keenly anpreciat." it. ixu ki.i; itn.i is i STAUKD FOU TONKillT -J .. j (Continued from Page One) j hour limit contest, will start about i 10:15.

You Should Keep a Bank Account Farmers, as a rule, keep no books or accounts. Their bank deposit 'books afford them a complete record ol cash re ceipts, while the stubs of the check book nre a perfect record nf expenses and payments. Your returned chocks aro tho best receipts in the world, because th poison re ceiving them must endorse it, and tioiiiR returned to you by the bank, they can be easily preserved. Money deposited in a hank is not so easily "fouled H'.vay" as when carried around in one's pocket. Try the experiment for one year of keeping a bank ac count and see if it docs not pay you. A larjrc number of the best farmers have accounts with us. No clmrire for chock books. Wc lire desirous of having farmers' ni roiiiits. even though small, for in this locality, where mixed farming is preached and piaclircd, their accounts are sure to crow larger.

Sperry, navy aviator, was sta tioned at Mnssapcqua, L. I. He could cot away for only a few hours, so they made the trip to the island by airplane. Army officers gathered around the chapel and set up a round of cheers when the bridal couple came flying down and nliKhtrd near the church stops. Tho weddliic took place a few minutes later HOW TO (iKOW TOMATO KS The tomato Is one of the inosl ' satisfactory of all the garden crow and one that Is found in practically I every vegetable garden. No mutter ' how small the garden f.naoc nvnll ' able, It is always ndvisable to liavr . a few tomato vinos. Toiutoes will grow in almost unv good soil, but the soil should nut i bee too high In nttrogano'is nint'er j us this Will cause the plants go , to vino, rather than to fruit. The : plants should be started In tho win dow box or in tilt hotbed, soino si weeks before time to set them in the open. For best results they : should be transplanted at least once. . It Is possible to secure a crop much sooner by carefully growing inc. plants indoors iu pots and trans planting to tho open ground as soon j las conditions permit. They should i not be set in the open until about ; two weeks after the last killing ; frost. If sot sooner than this they I j should in all cases bo proloctod j from frost with a muslin cover oi j : with boxes covered with glass or by ; other moans ' The pot-grown plants are ospor ial- ' ly desirable, as they may ho brought to the blooming period by tiio time : it Is wnrni enough to plant then In tho garden. If the plants are not to be (ruined, but allowed to lie on tho ground, they should be sot about 4 foot apart each way. If trained to single stalks and tied to slakes or a trellis, they may he planted in rows P. foot apart, and IS inches apart in tho row. If ti.J bo used for table purposes only 23 plants under good conditions i will supply the nvoiago family. If for canning from 50 to 100 plunts will be necessary. One hundred plants should supply sufficient to matoes for present use, nnd enough to can at least 100 quarts. Under favorable conditions, to matoes will continue to grow und bear for the entire season, nnd It should not bo necessary to set a late crop. U.. S.' Department of Agriculture.
