THE KAISER'S PRAYER
Mine Gott, will you be my pardner?
You don't know who I am!
I am the German Kaiser,
Der Emperor, veil I am.
You know I whiped dem Belgians,
Und mid bullets filled Russia full;
Und I vill vhip France and Italy
Und blow up Johnny Bull.
Now for al dem other nations
I don't gif a d m,
If you just be my partner
Und vhip dot Uncle Sam.
You know I got dem submarines,
All Europe knows doo well,
But dot man Edison got a patent now
Vot blows dem all to h 1.
Now, Gott, if you do this,
Den you I vill alvays love;
Und I vill be der emperor of earth,
Und you be der emperor above.
But Gott, if you refuse this,
Tomorrow night at 'leven .
I'll call mine Zeppelins out,
Und declare- war on Heaven.
I vouldn't ask dis from you,
But it can be plainly seen;
Dot- ven Edison pushes dot button,
I got no submarines.

WHEN YOU BUY SUGAR
When you buy sugar you pay less
per pound when you buy it by the dol
lar's worth. You pay still less per
pound when you buy it by the hun-drer-pound
sack or by the barrel.
The same is true of the manufac
turer and the merchant. The larger
quantities of anything that he can
buy the less he has to pay for it. It
costs him less to handle it in large
quantities than in small lots. It costs
less per pound to ship a solid carload
than it does to ship a carload in sep
arate shipments of 100 pounds each.
Just as it costs you less to buy a hun
dred pounds of sugar at one time
than it would to buy a hundred pounds
a quarter's worth at a time. Less in
money. Less in time. Less waste
less in every way.
The manufacturer and merchant
who advertise are enabled to buy and
to sell in larger quantities. By doing
a "quantity" business they cut ex
penses and save waste on every hand.
They can sell better quality pay the
small advertising cost and sell for
less than if they were doing business
in a small way.
In these times of advancing prices
carefully compiled statistics prove
that the advertised brands of mer
chandise have advanced much less in
proportion than those which are not
advertised.
In the interest of economy buy ad
vertised merchandise from merchants
who advertise.

THE CORK OAK TREE.
Thar ! Nothing "Juit a Good" at Iti
Bark Product.
When a man goes Into a hardware
store for a supply of cork for sume
specific purpose he generally gets what
he asks for. The reason why the dealer
does not endeavor to persuade him to
try something else "Just as good" is
because there Is nothing else he could
offer.
Cork is cheap, and for ages It has
stood alone in Its Held of usefulness.
It is tough and elastic, and Its specific
gravity is only 0.21. This, added to the
fact that It Is impervious to water, ac
counts for Us use in life preservers.
The cork oak, which grows principal
ly In Spain, Portugal, Algeria and
southern France, furnishes the supply
Only the outer bark of the tree is used
for the commercial product. When the
tree hus attained a diameter of ap
proximately five Inches, which usnnlly
It does by the time it Is twenty yenrs
old, the cork, as the first stripping of
bark Is called, is removed. This cork
is eo rough, coarse aud dense that II
has little commercial value. But Its
removal does not kill the tree. On the
contrary, It seems to promote develop
mcut
The stripping Is done In July and Au
gust, and great skill is necessary in
order not to injure the tree. If It is
Injured at any place the growth there
ceases, and the spot remains ever after

To help American fruit shippers
obtain Pacific outfets for their pro
ducts during the coming season, the
Office of Markets and Rural Organi
zation is sending a representative to
China, Japan, Australia, the Philip
pines and Eastern Siberia to investi
gate the marketing of American fruit
in these countries, according to an
announcement of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The need of expanding the Pacific
outlet is made evident by the closing,
practically, of the English and Scan
dinavian markets to which the Unit
ed States has previously forwarded
large quantities of fruit, particularly
apples and pears.
The representative, Anson Penfield
Bateham, special investigator in for
eign markets, -will sail from Vancou
ver 'today. The Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, of the De
partment of State, will cooperate with
the Office of Markets and Rural or
ganization in the investigation
through the commercial attaches and
the various consular officers in the
countries to be visited.

CHURCHILL MAKES SAVAGE
ATTACK ON CHIEF FRENCH
Walter J. Churchill, who had gone
violently insane in the woods near
Sunnyside last Thursday, was brought
to the county jail and later commit
ted to the insane asylum at Salem,
after he had terrorzed the neighbor
hood in which he worked for two days
and made an unsuccessful attempt on
the life of Chief of Police Lee French,
of this city, -who with Constable D. E.
Frost and Deputy H. H. Hughes went
to Sunnyside to apprehend the man.
Churchill invited the officers to come
up the hillside on which he was stand
ing, declaring that "God told me to
kill all of you fellows," and he at
tempted to carry out the edict with a
heavy club with which he struck
French. Among his possessions,
found in a hovel in which he lived,
were rough sketches of saw-sets and
descriptions for their use, which he
had told neighbors he was going to
patent. He had written a rambling
story which was entitled "The Mys
tery of the Saw Dtist Pile." A mem
orandum was also found. It gave his
age at 42 years. Churchill is a pow
erfully built man and he made a des
perate fight to resist arrest. Three
attendants of the asylum took him to
Salem Thursday night.

ments since that time.
