Readers, S and lOc. per line Independence, Oregon, Friday, June 3, 1917 Senator Harry Lane is dead. For the past week newspapers have eulogized and commended. Those who could not excuse his vote on the "armed neutrality bill" while he was living-, alter he was dead, praised his sincerity in casting this vote. Conscience must have pricked many writers who heaped abuse and ridicule upon the man who did his duty honestly and conscien tiously, but all they write after the object of their persecution has passed to his grave will never wipe out the stain. All the pictures that the Oregonian cartoonist can draw for the next ten years will never erase the half dozen that were penned for the purpose of driving Harry Lane out of public life. This is not the time to argue the merits of Senator Lane's votes, but who knows but what future generations will concede that he was right. The "plain people" of Oregon have lost the best Iriend they ever had in the halls of congress Not many men would have been so keen to the people's interests as to go so far as to endanger their political future and invite a storm of virulent criticism. The 'plain people" of Oregon should never forget Harry Lane. He sacrificed all, even his life for them. The necessity of Producing an Extra Pound of Poultry Product for Every Person In the U. S. By I. r. Richards, President of the American Poultry Assocla'Ion The death of Senator Lane mussed up the senatorial aspirations of several Republicans. The appointment of Chas. L. McNary to the vacancy gives him a distinct advantage over all rivals as he will have nearly a year before the next primary to gain prestige and some, kind of a record. Whether Mr. McNary intended to be a candidate for senator next year we do not know, but if he did, he has won half the battle by securing the appointment. Incidentally, the governor is ex pecting some political advantage for himself by picking Mr. McNary, who stands fairly well with the progressive element of the party, but judging from public sentiment we are led to believe that if the governor had ten senators to appoint it would not save him from defeat. The Monitor has received a number of letters from over the state commending its suggestion that certain Portland newspaper men enlist A rather peculiar situation exists relative to enlist ing. The militarist wants to stay at home and let the man of peace do the fighting; the man o peace naturally oeneves mat tne man ot war should be in the first line of trenches. Thus we have it that one half don't want to fight and the other half wants to fight but wants the half who don't want to fight to fight for the half who wants to fight.

Every one of us must do our bit. Every acre, every nook and corner must bear its share. It is lucky that in poultry we can produce the cheapest and most quickly produced meat of all the various sources of our meat sup ply. Here, we have an oppor tunity of producing an extra one hundred million pounds if the American farmers, the fanciers and breeders will give their at tention to hatching during the months of May and June. It is a well known fact that the available supply of meat pro ducts is today the lowest in bur country, per capita, in the history of the United States. In order to meet the extremely dangerous condition, we have within our selves a wonderful opportunity of aiding what may prove to be a world-wide cry for food. Let us all join enthusiastically in the propaganda of helping in the problem of helpiaginthe prob-. able time of need, by putting forth now every effort to meet, in a measure, the demand that is sure to come for untold quan tities of food stuffs. Never in the history of the world will there be a greater demand than in the next twenty-four months that are to follow. For the past twenty-four months we have been killing the Koose that has been laying the golden egg. and with the hue and cry of costly feed, poultry and all meat products have been soar ing far above all the usual esti mates as to the relative cost of production, and the selling price. The margin of profit oa the pro duction of eggs and poultry for meat is far in excess of the per centage of profit in normal times. But aside from the question of profit, we Americans must look at the situation from a philan thropic and humanitarian stand point and each and every one "do his bit" to meet an exigency that seems inevitable. Let us all try to be a faotor in the production of an extra hundred million pounds of poultry meat which is less than one pound additional for each man, woman and child in the United States. The United States Department of Agriculture has just issued an estimate that upwards of seven hundred millions of dollars is the annual tribute paid by Americans to the garbage can. Why not convert this into feed to produce poultry and eggs. Every 'home can have a self supporting and profitable flock in the back yard by converting the offal from the table and kitchen into the very choicest of poultry: feed. Why such an astounding waste, an itter extravagance that costs us nearly seven dollars for every man, woman and child in the United States? Let every home have a neat poultry house and a few well kept, profitable fowls. It is not unusual for the fan ciers to quit hatching with April. Let me urge that hatching be continued during June and 'also during July in a large part of odr country.
