WORLD PUZZLE SOLVED
P. W. Meredith Writes about Euro
pean War and Other Things
Editor, the Courier: Writers in
the Courier, who have a reputation
for good journalism are afraid to
prophecy the outcome of the great
war and as I have no reputation to
lose and have as much right to guess
as anyone, I will try my hand as a
sort of second hand, as I have seen
several maps of the future Europe,
and from the great majority of pro
phets the war between nations is to
close with 1915. 1916 will open with
revolutions all over Europe. England
is to lose India and Australia, Italy
will not be a loser but will undergo a
complete change in government and
religion. So also will Turkey. Revo
lutions taking the place of war be
tween nations will naturally prevent
peace treaties, indemnities or terri
torial aggressions.
It is believed by many that a great
deal of foreign paper is held in this
country and the downfall of those
governments will cause a big panic
here, but I have doubts about any
more of a panic than we have now. If
Europe is to be thrown into general
revolution it will almost destroy agri
culture over there, and bring about
the worst famine Europe ever knew,
and we farmers of the U. S. will have
them to feed and it will be necessary
for bankers, railroads and steamship
lines to cooperate with us and in do
ing this all preconceived ideas of co
operation will be eclipsed. People as
a rule have no faith in prophecies and
do not see the connecting links be
tween the cause and effect, so I will
write of our county tax budget.
Farmers can retain as much of
this governmental system as their
pocketbook will justify, and if they
have more money than their consci
ence will allow they could easily add
a few more salaried offices, deputies,
clerks, or raise the salaries of those
now working their heads off in the
interest of us farmers.
Just at present we farmers can see
how it would benefit the Oregon City
merchants for us to buy of them and
they retain the profit. We also un
derstand how it would benefit us to
have Oregon City merchants buy our
produce and pay us our profit, but
we are not going to finance a cam
paign with that object in view. We
do" not believe in trying to repeal the
law of supply and demand, and we do
not believe that any sortof a cam
paign will stop people from buying
Here's the way to keep your chil
dren healthy and make them

CAUSE AND RESULT
The use of our flour is the
cause which results in such
splendid bread, cake and pas
try. They follow as a matter
of course. The quality of our
flour has been, as is being
proven day after day by the
most skillful cooks. Try a
sack yourself and it will not
be long before you'll have a
right to a place among them.
Remember our

where they can buy the cheapest or
selling where they . get the most.
The Oregon City business men have
a cemetery full of incorporated hopes
in the interest of we poor farmers.
A few weeks ago it was a flax fac
tory, which will call for another head
stone in that field of disappointment.
Agriculture flourishes on profit under
a profit system, so does Oregon City
commercialism, and we are both so
low on the graduated scale of profit
success that we are hardly desirable
citizens. It stands us in hand to work
together; to squeeze the fellows who
have squeezed the profit out of our
business. Now you live wires, get
him located get on to his schemes,
and devise a remedy and we will be
with you. Portland has the right to
charge Clackamas county all the traf
fic will bear for educating our high
school scholars, but Clackamas
county should say where the scholars
should go or toil them to patronize
home industries.
If there is anything we farmers
want more than good roads, it is 7
passenger, 8-cylinder 40-horsepower
automobiles, and when we get these
things we want to let the farm go to
grass and hit the pike and visit every
thing advertised in the Courier. The
first candidate for district attorney
who promises us these things will
surely get our vote, but it must be
understood that the other fellow must
do the paying. You see we are learn
ing the other fellow's game.
Now we don't want to crowd the
consular reports, and have already
written enough for the readers to
make fun of for at least a week. Did
you ever notice that the more fun a
young lady makes of a fellow the
sooner she marries him? Now, Mr.
Editor, if the devil invades your sanc
tum and gets up close to your ear
and yells copy! Well! this unpre
paredness is awful!
P. W. MEREDIT.
CURED BOY OF CROUP
Nothing frightens a mother than
the loud, hoarse cough of croup. The
labored breathing, strangling, choking
and gasping for breath call for instant
action. Mrs. T. Neureuer, Eau Claire,
Wis., says: "Foley's Honey and Tar
cured my boy of a serious attack of
croup after other remedies had fail
ed. I recommend it to every one as
we know from our own experience
that it is a wonderful remedy for
coughs, colds, croup and whooping
cough. It clears air passages, sooth
es and heals. Jones Drug Co.

THERE are any number of ex

Internntlonal Exposition which
relate directly to the facts and
factions' bearing upon the present
world situatlou, exhibits which are full
of historic Interest and which bear wit
ness to the tragedies and romances
which center around a battlefield.
There is no more interesting exhibit
at the Exposition than that of the Bul-

various of the world's greatest educa
tional institutions, Including the Uni
versity of Paris, the University of Jena
and the University of Leipzig. Twenty

THE GREATEST GLORY OF THE EXPOSITION, THE PALACE OF FINE ARTS, TO BE SAVED.
PLANS are under way in San Francisco to preserve the splendid Palace of Fine Arts as a legacy of the
world's most beautiful Exposition. This splendid building rivals any architectural creation of present or
past eras. t was pronounced by Lord Richard Neville, emissary of King George of England, as one of
the two most beautiful buildings in the world, the other being the Taj Mahal, in India.
What Government Is Doing with
Tracts of Great Public Domain J
There were 29,276 acres of agri
cultural land listed to 315 applicants
in the State of Oregon, and 3,805 acres
listed to 52 applicants in the State of
Washington during the past year by
the Forest Service.
Since the passage of the forest
homestead act, June 11, 1906, there
have been 188,514 acres of agricultur
al land listed to over 2,000 applicants
in the States of Oregon and Washing
ton by the Forest Service.
Of the varied special uses to which
National Forest land is put, one of the
most interesting is that of the school
house. There are thirteen school
houses within the National Forests of
Washington and Oregon, and one in
Alaska. The only churches thus far
built on National Forest land are two
in the Tongass Forest, Alaska. No
kan States, in the Palace of Varied
Industries. It is a collection of Jew
els, bric-a-brac and objets d'arts
brought from Montenegro, Roumanla,
Servia, Bulgaria and Albania, articles
which have been bartered in tears by
their owners In order that the profit
may be turned to the better account of
their beloved countries. Here is an ex
quisite chain of varl-colored sapphires,
white, yellow and red, worth a thou
sand times their weight in gold. It
once belonged to a beautiful Montene
grin princess, who parted with it to
help the Red Cross fund in Montene
gro at the time of the Balkan war.
There Is a baudsome royal Austrian
dinner service. Many times has It
graced the smoking board of a prince
of the royal house of Hupsburg, who lost
his life on the battlefield of Belgium.
In one of the carefully guarded glass
cases is a marvelous snuffbox of gold
and rubles. It belonged to Abdul Ha
mid and found dally use in the royal
pocket. When he was dethroned It
was confiscated, along with other of
his personal loot, and disposed of by
the Turkish government. It was pur
chased by a Servian noble who was
killed in the Balkan war. His family,
wishing to do all that was possible
toward a war fund for their beloved
country, disposed of it, along with
many other valuables, and so it has
found its way to the exposition. One
wonderful old Madras tea set has a
history several centuries long. It was
once the property of a prince of India.
During the time of the English occu
pation lie was one of the many ori
ental ' potentates who lost caste and
title. Ultimately he was shot for trea
son and his property taken over by
the authorities. In diverse ways it
traveled through India to Persia, whore
It was purchased by an American girl
in Teheran. This young American aft
erward became the wife of a Servian
count.. When the crisis came a year
ago Inst August and the resources of
Servia were drained to their dregs this
loyal little lady disposed of every heir
loom the family possessed and all of
her own personal trinkets and treas
ures In order that she might do her
best by the country of her adoption.
In the Palace of Educntlon there is
a Persian Buddhist, a bishop of the
Buddhist church, who passed twenty
years of his life In Lassa learning the
mysteries of being. Mazzlntniandn is
his name. He claims ninety odd years
and looks about sixty. After taking n
degree at Oxford he returned to India,
where he went through other processes
of initiation and can truthfully boast
lation from an ancient Tibetan docu
ment giving the history of the hidden
life of the Christ between the years
of 12 and SO, for which there is no
Biblical record. It is claimed that
these years were spent in Lassa.
In the East Indian .exhibit In the
Palace of Varied Industries the effete
east shows that in matters of art it Is
not effete, for even modern efficiency
cannot achieve the wonder of the rugs
position, filled as they are with the at
mosphere of the most ancient of em
pires, one feels the touch of a hand
that Is soon to be stilled and breathes
the air of lands filled with a romance
and a wonder that is all too soon to be
dissipated by the more practical, but
less poetic sway of western civiliza
tion. All of which Is reason for the
magnetic qualities of these oriental
nooks toward exposition visitors.

charge is made for this use of the
National Forests.
It is estimated that over one hun
dred thousand people visited the Nat
ional Forests of Washington and Ore
gon for recreation purposes during the
pas tyear. In addition to this, 25
permits were issued for summer
homes, making a total number of 8
permits of this character now in
force on the National Forests of the
two states.
WHERE DO YOU GET 'EM?

Product Do You Really Knok?
Those of you who eat crawfish
do you know where the little red
things come from? Maybe you think
they come from the, creeks here
abouts. If. you gathered them your
selves, probably you know; but if you
bought them in market, you cannot
be so sure. Light on the crawfish in
dustry in the Pacific Northwest is
shed by a government report, which
says:
The 1915 season for taking craw
fish from Lower Californian waters,
which lasts the greater part of the
year, has just ended. This industry
which ia controlled by a Mexican con
cessionaire, has been increasing in lo
cal importance during the past few
years and the 1915 output, as declar
ed at this consulate, for export
amounted to 373,534 pounds, valued at
$33,697 United States currency. This
is an increase of $10,000 over the ex
ports of 1913, and of $19,000 over
those of 1912. Figures for 1914 are
not available.
The entire catch is exported from
Ensenada to San Diego, Cel., whence
it is distributed to western United
States markets.

penings, etc., in the county? Do you

WHY NOT 9
KC is pure. KC is health
ful. It really does make
lighter, nicer biscuits, cakes
and pastry than the old
fashioned single acting
baking powders.
And you pay only a fair price for it.
No baking powder should sell for more.
