Mr. Farmer, what are you going to do about producing hog feed for Earnings SERVICE SAVINGS ACCOUNTS this fall's feeding? My suggestion is to raise a patch of corn if you have ground suitable for the same. No wet 'or heavy clay bottom sou will do to mature a good crop. If you have a piece of ground already plowed haul manure on same, use a spreader as manure will go fur ther and do a better job. Then, just before planting, turn under, or when ground is dry enough. With proper care and season you will havecheap er feed than you can buy. I 'gener ally feed my stock out of the field, throwing out just enough to avoid waste, and for seed I -go over the field, select my ears, husk same and scatter the ears over a grain bin in the granery. The heat of the grain in the bin will absorb all the moisture in the cob. The next best feed is field peas, where they can be grown. They are probably the cheapest. Try a patch.

The writer is very much opposed to war, having been raised a, Friend, or Quaker, ' but when it comes to a mad man destroying lives and prop erty without reason or a particle of mercy and resorting to -cruelty that a Camanche Indian never dreamed of, then it is time for all civilized na tions to arise and crush the monster which event will occur, in the writer's humble opinion,' before this year is gone. , Repeated calls are made upon the people for funds to carry on the war, to which the people are respond ing nobly, but the government should get after these rich slackers who have heaped up immense : fortunes and are evading their taxes. ,It has been demonstrated that Rockefeller is paying but ?25,000 a year. When the assessor calls on him at Cleve land, Ohio, he claims to have .his home in New York, and when there, claims to reside in Ohio. It has been disclosed that Rockefeller shares in Standard Oil and real estate in Ohio alone are worth $864,000,000, while his shares in U. S. steel are enor mous, as well as shares in Colorado Fuel and other great industries. while he has valuable property in Jersey City and at Tarry town up the Hudson' river," as well as in Florida and elsewhere. The newly elected mayor of New York City says that he will see to it that old John D. pays his taxes, which he estimates, income taxes and all, will amount to over $8,000,000. The misery and injustice of dealing with these kinds of fellows is that their hired attor nies, who are for sale to any wretch or criminal, often . completely over throw the verdict of a jury as they did before Judge Ganillas' court in Chicago, when old John D. was fin ed $29,260,000. . The government is sending out literature and lithographs appealing for subscriptions to the War Savings stamps. One of these lithographs is a beautiful picture of Joan of Arc who saved France more than 300 years ago. 'A poor, ignorant peas ant girl, she led the'utterly defeat ed French army against the English and completely routed them in every engagement. Mark Twain wrote a life story, of this remarkable woman and went over to France and found in the archives preserved by the French government, the testimonies of 134 witnesses who lived at the time of this wonderful woman, all of them testifying to her strange pow er. Twain says in conclusion: "How else can you account for her power only that she was under supernatur al influence?" ' EAST CLACKAMAS, S. Kelnhofer is on the sick list just at present. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Haberlach and family and Mr. and Mrs. W. Tinnerslet motored to Colton last Sunday to visit old friends there, as that was their home in days gone by.
