COMMENCES SUIT TO HAVE
JUDGMENT SATISFIED
E. H. Fry, in a complaint filed
with the county clerk recently,
charges Mat Wattawa with assign
ing a note and mortgage to his
daughter, Pauline Stangel, for the
purpose of defrauding him, by pre
venting the execution of a judgment,
held by the plaintiff. The judgment,
given in December last year, was in
answer to his suit filed for $575 and
$57.80 costs last August. At the
time of the issuing of the judgment,
the plaintiff claims that the defend
ant was insolvent, and that' the of
ficers endeavoring to execute the
order could make no service. In the
meantime, a note for $11,000 secur
ed by a mortgage, was given the de
fendant by E. E. Brandtl, and this
money was to be paid in annual in
stallments of $1,000 each, with inter
est. Now, in his suit started here, Fry
charges that this note has been so
assigned to the defendant's daughter,
that the installment due August 3,
cannot be taken under the provisions
of his judgment, and he claims there
was no consideration or purpose for
the transfer except to defraud him.
He asks an order from the court de
claring the assignment void, and or
dering the defendant's daughter to
turn the note over to the clerk of
the court, so that his judgment may
be satisfied.
CHARGES THAT BULL DOG
CHEWED UP $2,500 WORTH
Ellen Ford has commenced a per
sonal injuries action against Clarence
E. Chandler and Bessie Chandler, al
leging that a large bull-dog owned
by the defendants, bit her on the
wrist to such an extent that the
member is permanently disabled. The
complaint states that while standing
peacably on the public highway the
dog jumped and grasped the plain
tiff's wrist and hand, and hung on,
until his jaws were pried apart. It
is claimed that the Bhock, pain, and
loss sustained as a result of the in
jury necessitated the expenditure of
$148.60 for medicine, nurses, and
doctors, and this sum, with an ad
ditional $2500 is asked for damages,
is asked in the suit. The plaintiff
also seeks to recover the costs of
the action.
THAT BAD BACK
Do you have a dull, steady ache In
the small of the back sharp, stab
bing twinges when stopping or lift
ing distressing urinary disorders?
For bad back and weakened kidneys
Oregon City residents recommend
Bonn's Kidney Pills. Read this Ore
gon City statement.
Mrs. A. Reddaway, 116 S. Center
street, says: "My back ached most
all the time. It was so weak and
sore that when I got down to do
anything it was all I could do to
straighten up. Sharp catches shot
through my kidneys and for a min
ute I could hardly move, they were
80 severe. My kidneys also acted ir
regularly. I felt tired all the time
and could hardly drag myself around.
After I had been taking Doan's Kid
ney Pills awhile my back felt strong
er and my kidneys acted more regu
larly." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan's Kidney Pills the same that
Mrs. Reddaway had. Foster-Milburn

WASTE ELIMINATED
BY MEANS OF SILO
Saving of $37.50 Per Acre on 50
1 Bushel Crop of Corn.
Farmer in Many Sections of Country
Husk Crop In Field and Leave
Stover Contains One-Third
of Food Nutrients.
CPrepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
By making as mtich silage as can be
used stockmen will do much to con
serve the feed supply. At least 37 per
cent of the digestible material of the
corn plant Is left In the stover when
the ears only are used. When corn Is
ensiled this 87 per cent goes Into the
silo with the 63 per cent In the ear.
The Importance of this saving will be
more apparent when given a money
value. With a yield of 50 bushels an
acre, the value of grain Is $75, at $1.50
a bushel. Since the stover contains
Concrete Silo In Course of Construe
i tion.
more than one-third of the food nutri
ents It Is worth at least one-half as
much as the grain, or $37.50. How
many farmers will willingly leave In
the field $37.50 an acre? Yet this is
done In many sections of the country
where the corn is husked and the
stover left In the field. .
But suppose the dry stover Is fed as
roughage. Even then It Is not well
saved as completely as In silage.
When, under ordinary farm conditions,
corn Is cured In the shock the loss of
dry matter Is approximately 25 per
cent and may he as high as 45 per
cent. These losses are due to the
breaking oft of leaves by the wind and
In handling, and to destructive fermen
tations. The loss of dry matter In the
silo is very slight when the silo Is
tight and the silage well packed at the
time of filling. As silage the corn
stalk Is all consumed, but as stover
only the leaves are eaten unless It is
shredded, and even then a great part
of the stalk Is discarded. Some feed
ing experiments show that even in
shredded stover the portion discard
ed Is as high as 81 per cent. This is
in addition to the loss of dry matter
during the curing process.
Too frequently an unfavorable sea
son like last year results In the loss
of the whole corn plant or In Immature
soft corn that Is of little value. By
far the best method to utilize corn
which is Immature at harvesting time
Is to put It Into the silo. Even frost
ed corn will make satisfactory silage
If harvested at once.1 If it becomes
dry, it may be saved by adding wa
ter during the filling process.
1 GOVERNMENT AND LABOR t
-u
(Prepared by the United States 5
it Department of Agriculture.)
No department of government
has any authority under the law n
to seize labor nor can the gov-
ti ernmeut create labor. The best
J we can do Is to study each sltua-
tlon and to furnish information
J and every possible assistance In j
it shifting labor from one neigh-
borhood or region to another, JJ
and If that is not possible In a
, given case to coll upon the towns
nnd cities dependent upon agrl- r
. culture to mobilize all town men
of farm experience for aid to
farmers, If need be, by substltut-
Ing women In stores and shops

GARDEN TOOLS NOT COSTLY
Large and Expensive Assortment Not
Necessary In Home Garden
Three Indispensable.
(Prepared by the Unltod States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In order to have a homo vegetable
garden It Is not necessary to acquire
a large or expensive assortment of
tools. A spade, hoe and rake are the
only tools that are Indispensable. A
garden Hue can be Improvised from
pieces of twine, and two sharpened
sticks will serve as stukes. A trowel
can be fashioned from a piece of thin
board or from a shlugle, while a serv
iceable scrutcher or wcerler con be
inado by drlvlug three slender nulls
through the end of a plcco of lalh. An
other kind of good weedor can be
mode from a piece of hoop iron bent
into a loop and one edge sharpened.
A wheel hoe, or combination whoel
hoe and seed drill, Is a splendid tool,
and there are a number of small band
tools tlint are useful In tho . gordeu,
but theso are not essential.
Develop Milk Capacity.
The capacity to give milk Is devel
oped In cows by breeding early.
Marketing Hogs in Motor Trucks
An example of how motor trucks
are relieving railroad transportation
in many sections of tho country is
shown in the receipts of hogs deliver
ed to the Omaha market by this
method of conveyance. According
to a report recently compiled by the
Bureau of Markets there was an in
crease of 180 per cent in the number
of hogs transported to that market
by motor trucks during the first six
months in 1918 as compared to the
corresponding period in 1917. The
number carried in this way amount
ed to 92,780 for the period in 1918

as compared to 33,084 for the corres
ponding months last year. Estimat
ing 70 hogs as an average carload
in railroad shipments, the number
delivered by motor trucks on the
Omaha market during the first six
months of 1918 aggregated more
than eight carloads for every market
day during the period. The motor
truck business is becoming so im
portant that commercial organiza
tions of Omaha are taking active
measures to utilize the trucks on re
turn trips to country points for haul
ing various kinds of freight. Exper
ience has shown that motor-truck
marketing is as feasible in winter as
in other seasons, as more than 26,
000 hogs were delivered, directly
from farms to the Omaha market
during January and February.
RATTLESNAKE FOUND
Molalla Men Find Woman at Scotts
Mill Frightened by Large Reptile
The press of the Willamette Val
ley recently ran accounts of a rat
tlesnake which had been killed near
Albany, stating that the reptiles
were not often seen in these parts.
But not far from here another has
been killed, said to be the first seen
in several years.
Fred Schafcr and Oscar Stryker,
of the Molalla district, were driving
along near the Thomas house, at
Scotts Mills on Monday, and were
attracted to tho house by the calls
of Mrs. Thomas, who was startled
by the appearance of a large rattler.
Kchafer killed the snake, and founu
that it measured over two feet in
length. It still carried nino rattlers.
It was of the diamond black species,
said to be quite rare.
Liberty Farmers Organize
That farmers recognize the obli
gation which goes with deferred
draft classification for agricultural
purposes is shown by many instanc
es which have come to the attention
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. One of the most recent
of theso is the organization by 1,200
farmers of La Porte, Ind., under the
name of Liberty Farmers. These

WANTS TO REALIZE ON
MORTGAGE AGAINST TAVERN
A. E. Latourette, as trustee, on
Saturday commenced action in the
circuit court tor ealize on a $2000.00
note given January 31, 1911, by Aug
ust Erickson and Marie Erickson,
and due within one year. The note
is secured by a mortgage on two lots
in Fruitdale, and the furnishings and
contents of Erickson's Tavern, well
kown former road house. Included
in the furnishings are three pianos.
With the Ericksons as defendants,
the trustee holds the First National
Bank of this city, and Joseph E.
Hedges, an attorney, charging that
they claim an inferior title to. the
property. In the settlement, the
plaintiff asks that he be granted a
judgment for $2,000, with interest at
7 from July 31, 1917, $100 alleged
to be due for insurance premiums
paid on the property, and $300 at
torney's fees. He also asks the
court to decree the claim of the First
National Bank and Mr. Hedges as
null and void.
LOST ONE HUBBY
Spokane Woman Offends Mate but
Wants Him Back
Sheriff Wilson is in receipt of a
communication from Mrs. Frank C.
Baxter, R. F. D. No. 2, Spokane,
Washington, seeking news of her
husband. It seems that the wife in
some manner offended her mate, and
he refuses to divulge his where
abouts. She says they have a child,
and that she is very anxious to have
him return. The letter to the sheriff
says that she has always humored
her husband, and that he was easily
hurt by seeming neglect. She inti
nfates that he may be testing her
love, in seeing if she cares enough
to search for him all over the North
west, while he goes by an assumed
name. The wife states that she may
have hurt his feelings in a hurriedly
written letter, and she asks that the
sheriff aid in finding her lost spouse,
that the damage to broken hearts
might be repaired.

LOSE THE MAN BUT GET
BIG LOAD OF REAL WHISKEY
What is believed by the authori
ties to have been a plan to deliver a
quantity of booze into Portland, was
nipped in the bud here last Satur
day morning, when Officer Surfus
seized 73 pints of choice whiskey at
the Southern Pacific depot, and lock
ed it up.
The man who was bringing
the supply up from California
escaped. As the 6 o'clock train pull
ed in, the man alighted, but he had
thought to allay suspicion by not
having the usual suit case with him.
A confederate on tho train, said by
Surfus to be "a brakeman, stood on
the steps as the train started out,
and dropped the bottles one by one.
Thus the booze, in pint and quart
flasks, was strung along the right of
way for some distance. Surfus saw
the man picking up the stuff, and as
he started toward him the fellow
dropped his armful and made his
way south down' the track. The of
ficer picked up the whiskey, and
found but one broken bottle as a re
sult of the nove.1 method of unload
ing from the train. He is of the
opinion that an auto was waiting
somewhere in the city, to haul the
