THE COMING RACE
A new race of supermen in the
United States and a decadent under
nourished, deteriorating race of in
feriors in the lands of the central
powers! That is what Dr. Harvey
Wiley, head of the bureau of food
sanitation and health, sees as the
chief biological and psychological re
sult of the war.
"The greater the stress under
which a race is produced, providing
it is properly nourished during the
process, the stronger the race," says
Dr. Wiley. "Peace and luxury im
pair racial efficiency. War and hard
ship, hard living, constant struggle
develop it.
"When the war shall be over, with
America and her allies victorious, we
will see a greater America than we
have dreamed of. It cannot help
but be.
"A race that will go into a death
struggle with no plan of material
gain, fighting daily at the battle
front for an ideal, and at home de
priving itself of the material luxu
ries, must show spiritual growth. Its
millions of soldiers facing the hard
ships of trench life will come back
hardened and stronger to endure.
"Men returning, physically well
and strong from the war, where they
have been fed nourishing foods and
have lived an invigorating, outdoor
life, will be better fathers to better
children.
"Our change in diet as a result of
the war has improved the race at
home. We were eating too much in
volume, too many in variety and too
rich in quality. We are eating less,
stronger race as a result. We'll be a
stronger race as aresult. And the
present diet has a greater nutritive
value.
"America needed to take up a
notch or two in her belt. Maybe
she'll have to take up three or four,
or even five, before she wins this
war, if we have tos ave enough here
to feed our allies, but it won't hurt
her.
"It would be a crime for America
to slip back into her riot of high liv
ing and high eating after the war
is over, though. After we have won
health through the voluntary sacri
fice let us treasure it as the great
jewel won in the war."

Newberg On lust Sunday after
noon at about five o'clock in the
evening, Werner Ganguin who was
out in a boat on Skookum lake across
the river from Newberg in Marion
county with two other boys, either
jumped or fell from the boat and
was drowned.
The boys, sobs of Max Ganguin, of
Hillsdale, had been visiting at the
home of Mrs. Knapp near the lake
and had been out for a ride in the
boat. On approaching the bank the
little fellow fell into the water and
in the excitement that followed was
drowned. Graphic.

Hubbard R. G. Scott, the newly

is getting the people ofhis territory
interested in catching "moles as a

fact that moles will get your gar

calls the mole the kaiser's land sub

The. mole skin is in demand by the
fur dealers and there are those in
this community who have received a
neat sum from catching moles and
saved their garden at the same

business, but he will sell the pelts to
the highest bidder when a sufficient
number are received to hold an auc

BuiiKs The loner dry spell was
broken last Monday afternoon when
a terrific rain, hail, lightning and
driving wind storm struck this part
of Washington county. The storm
came from the southwest and swept
over a large territory, doing consul
erable damage here and there.
It was in the nature of a cloud
burst and the oldest settlers agree
thut it was the worst storm they
have seen here. Everything was
flooded, shocks of grain from side
hills and loose gates, small foot
bridges and other things were car
ried to the lowlands and buried in
deep mud. It is fairly estimated that
the water on the flat this side of R.
M. Banks pluce was at least four
feet deep above the road. Hail and
torrents of rain, and lightning was
terrific, bolts striking in many plac
es. The storm lasted 'for about an
hour and extended over the moun
tains to Vernonia and has been the
topic ever since. Herald.

Cottage Grove Milton LeRov. son
of Mrs. Maud LeRoy, had a narrow
escape from being crushed to death
under a log at the Rujada logging
cam)) Saturlay.
A log being drawn by a lonkey en
gine hit another log and started it
to rolling. LeRoy, who was directy
in its path, was unable to quite make
his escape and one end of the lov
passed over him. There was a crook
in this end of the log, and those who
saw the accident think that the hol-
ow side was down just as the log

with only a few bruises. He came to
his home here to recover from his
injuries. Sentinel.
While this practice is desirable In somu j
cases, in others it is merely wasting j
valuable time and it should be follow
ed with careful judgment. In other
words, the hay grower should inform
himself by experiments or by the expe
rience of his neighbors as to the earliest
possible time in the morning after a
heavy dew at which It is safe to start
mowing under different conditions, con
sidering the amount of moisture con
tained in the upper surface of the soli,
whether the yield is light or heavy,
the weather, and whether or not a ted
der Is to be used. All possible loss of
valuable time, such as Is entailed by
having hired help Idle or employed at
work which Is less profitable and neces
sary than making hay, should De avoid
ed. It Is important to know how much
hay to have down at one time. It is
not good practice to have two or three
times as much hay cut down as can be
hauled or taken in in one day. Loss
of quality can be avoided somewhat
by having the mowers only one day
ahead of the crew hauling; then If a
rain comes up a minimum amount of
hay will be damaged.

Raking Hay With Side-Delivery Rake
This Should Be Done Before
Leaves Become Dry Enough to Shat
ter When Raked. "
When the leaves lbso their moisture
and become dry before the moisture
from the stem is removed, the process
of curing is very much retarded. The
tedder is especially valuable in curing
alfalfa and clover hay, or heavy yields
of any kind. No set rule can be given
for using the tedder, but It should fol
low the mower from two to six or more
hours later, depending upon yield, kind
of hay, velocity of the wind, tempera
ture, clouds, etc. The function of the
tedder Is to kick up the hay and allow
It to cure out evenly. The tedder does
more damage than good by breaking
off the leaves, If used after the leaves
have become dry. It Is used on hay In
the swath, seldom on hay in the wind
row. To Induce rapid curing, It is the cus
tom of some hay growers to ted the
hay twice the same day.
Raking.
The practice of raking hay Into wind
rows wllh either a sulky (dump) or
side-delivery rake is almost universal,
The exceptions ure where the hay is
loaded on the wagon directly from the
Bwalh by means of a hay loader, or is
gathered from the swath with a sweep
rake. These practices are rare, be
ing followed usually only when the
yield is heavy.
It Is safe to say that most liny is
cured almost entirely In the swath; in
deed it Is a common practice to com
mence hauling or stacking hay Imme-
aiiitely after It is raked. Under cer
tain conditions this practice Is nlliiw
Rble. When the yield is light, or when
a heavy yield Is stirred several times
with the tedder, and especially If the
lay is cloudy and there is a good breeze
stirring, hay can be entirely cured In
the swath and a good quality made.
During hot, dry, sunshiny weather In
the middle of the summer, however,
this practice of curing In the swath
Rill not produce the best grade of hay.
Qnilev conditions hay, especially
Jlovi'i ilfalfa, should be raked In
to the -.. ,:iow Just after It is all well
iltod and before the leaves become
lry enough to break oft when raked.
After being raked, the hay may be
eft In the windrow until It is ready to
)e moved, or It may lie put Into cocks
tud left until thoroughly cured. '

Malaria Attacks Army.

the authority of Delllle and his co

laria that has affected the armies op
erating In Macedonia forms, If not the
most Important, at least one of the

Xerxes were decimated by malaria in
that same region has there been a sit
uation comparable to that of these
modern forces lu the Macedonian val
leys and marshes. The extreme grav
ity of the Infection, the early and
large proportion of pernicious cases,
the apparent failure of preventive
doses of quinine, the prevalence o

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR TELLS
OF ICE SAVING METHODS
Many housewives have learned
from sad experiences in loss of per
ishable foods that next to the ice
is not the coldest place in the home
refrigerator. To the housewife who
has not had this experience the Food
Administration gives this advice:
"Many put their butter and milk
right next to the ice because they
think this is the toldest place, but,
as a matter of fact, the coldest place
is at the bottom of the refrigerator.
Hot air rises, and air that is not be
ing constantly purified by circulation
around the blocks of ice soon are un
fit to come into contact with the food.
When the warm air in the refriger
ator rises it carries with it impuri
ties and moistue which are absorbed
from the surface of the food, and,
wheh if allowed to remain in the air,
spoil the food. The air which is
warmed by passing over the food
comes, in contact with the ice where
the moisture is condensed upon the
surface and the impurities are can
ned off by the melting ice. The air
is thus dried, cooled and purified.
The cooled air immediately descends
to gather up more moisture and im
purities and thus the process is
repeated continually.
"It is advisable to allow heated
food to cool off before placing it in
the refrigerator. If put in when
warm it raises the temparature of
the refrigerator higher than it should
go and melts ice unnecessaily. The
trapdoor through which the meltage
passes out at the bottom of the re
frigerator should be kept in place
because if it is broken or lost a con
stant stream of warm air is allowed
to flow into the refrigerator."
