GERMANY MAY REJECT PEACE
TERMS
There appears to be a growing
tendency among all parties in Ger
many, radical and conservative alike,
to refuse any treaty of peace which
shall make excessive territorial de
. mands. At first the movement to re
' ject such terms was apparently init
iated by the government in order to
influence the Paris Conference to
make more reasonable terms, but now
the movement has gotten out of gov
ernment control. In the German
newspapers and among all bodies of
people there is a growing unanimity
of opinion against yielding to what
has been called "enslaving terms."
Especially is there protest against
the claims to Danzig and the Saar
valley. The claim to Malmedy is
also now characterized as exhorbi
tant. In a speech at Berlin, Dr. Schiffer,
Minister of Finance m the new Cab
inet, said: "I take a most solemn oath
that the government will not sur
render to the enemy one inch of
German territory, either east or
west." In the Prussian assembly,
Premier Hirsch declared that the gov
ernment had no intention of giving
up the eastern districts of the state
and he considered it the state's chief
duty to ward off all attacks, espec
ially attempts aimed at West Prussia,
Posen, and upper Silesia.
According to a Paris report, the
Prussian National Assembly has vot
ed unanimously against the relin
quishment by Germany of any of the
Rhine territory, especially the Saar
basin. Meetings, of protest, the re
port says, are multiplying all over
Germany. These meetings, it ap
pears, are being organized through
out Germany by- Count von Brock

you can find at the bureau.
"The soldier should be urged to go
back to his home town and, unless a
better position can be. obtained for
him, tuke his old job, not because
that is the best he is fitted for, but
because owing to the industrial situ
ation, it is an unfavorable time for
him to seek a different position. He
should certainly not give up his aim
to get the better job, but he should
work for it from his old position and
not from a state of unemployment.
"Some men are probably stranded
in places away from their homes and
have not enough money to take them
back. In such cases it is hoped that
you will pe able to arrange for
financing their return."

Here is a little information for the
people of Clackamas county.
Forty years ago I went to Salem
to get a fan mill. Now the grain
goes all through it and one doesn't
get much seed wheat, so I had to get
another mess to get a quantity of
the seed wheat.
I have plowed under buckwheat,
clover and rye, and I have hauled
manure from five places and applied
it to the soil. I milled some oats
and wheat before the World's Fair
that was too wet I couldn't sow it
right away. So I went and got a
spoonful of black lime and used it.
When the World's Fair was to take
place the county wanted some of my
grain for the exhibition. I sent it
down to the court house, and my
neighbors also sent oats and wheat.
I got a premium on oats and wheat,
but my neighbors did not get any.
Afterwards I found out it was the
use of lime on my wheat ground that
did the trick.
In early days we took the wheat
to the mill to get it ground. The
miller weighed the wheat when he
received it and also when he return
ed. He said that I got more pounds
out of my wheat than anyone else.
Brother Farmer, we have to put
our heads together and get a car
load of lime, for all lime you put in
will help to raise better grain.

GAS DIDN'T KILL RATS,
DUMB ANIMALS IN WAR
Germans, cooties, mud and rats
were the four most obnoxious things
the American fighting men found
overseas, according to Frank W,
Ryan, a Y. M. C. A. war worker who
accompanied the 91st Division into
the Argonne as an athletic director.
"I have been asked many times
why the deadly gas didn't kill the
rats and other animals when it was
destructive to humans," said Ryan
recently. I have seen birds flying

notice of the artillery fire; rats by

the country," says Colonel Woods in
his letter, "there -exists bureaus for

bureaus have been working in "affil

grand jury, were arraigned Satur
day, and asked for further time in
which to plead their case,-which was
granted. They will be given a trial
later. All three plead not guilty.
The case is the outgrowth of an auto
ride, in which the three young men
accompanied by three young ladies
from this city were out all night.
One of the girls, afraid to come home
afterward, ran away, and was appre
hended later by the officials. She
was found at the time at Canby, and
brought home to this city. The young
men were arrested afterward.

Mrs. Flora A. Dewalt
Mrs. Flora A. Dewalt died at her
home in Clackamas Thursday morn
ing at 6:30 o'clock. Her death was
due to a paralytic stroke. She is the
wife of George T. Dewalt, of Clack
amas. Mrs. Dewalt was born in Illi
nois February 18, 1851, and was 67
years of age. She came to this coun
ty about 10 years ago, and had al
ways1 resided at Clackamas station
since coming to Oregon. Besides her
husband, she is survived by the fol
lowing children: Mrs. Elmer Cagle,
Clackamas; Mrs. Charles F. Kinney,
Portland; Wilson Dewalt, Clackamas;
and two grandchildren, Theodore and
Helen Kinney, Portland. Funeral
services were held from the home
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and
interment took place in the Clacka
mas cemetery.
All kindergartens have one char
acteristic in ' common the . respect
which the children show for the in
dividual rights of others. Where
many little children are gathered to
gether, there must be governing
laws and obedience to these law's.
In the ideal kindergarten these
laws are more feelings than facts.
The children grow to respect and
obey them spontaneously, almost un
consciously. Thus, even when they
are 4 and 5 years old, they can be
led to a right relation toward their
fellow-beings.. Could anything be
more important?
All children do not live near a kin
dergarten, but all children have play
mates. iA wise mother will quickly
establish the law of right relation
ships among the children who play
in her home. Even a busy mother
and are not all real mothers very
busy? can with a word now and
then impart a feeling for the rights
of others and this, once gained, is
never lost through life.
The kindergarten is the most dem
ocratic of institutions. The children
feel no class distinctions in fact,
there are none in the world of the
three-year-old. My Philip plays as

joyfully with the little fellow in the
servant quarters next door as he does
with the son of my best friend. The
public school kindergarten is par
ticularly interesting, because all
classes mix freely and are entirely
free from self-consciousness. Each
little individual contributes his per
sonal traits toward the making of
the Whole. A fault may serve as
great purpose as a virtue, and both
may serve as mirrors wherein the
child sees himself. Under the guid
ance of the kindergartner he will see
wisely.
Moreover, the children soon learn
to love the calm of the kindergarten
room, and come readily under the in
fluence of the ruling spirit, the de
nial of self for the good of the whole.
In your own garden, the back
yard, there cannot be the close super
vision that there is in the kinder
garten, and elimination sometimes
becomes a necessity. If you are for
tunate enough to live among your
own kind, where, all the children in
your neighborhood are reared similar
ly, you win prooaoiy not have any
serious problem.. But if you live in a
cosmopolitan neighborhood and there
is an older cjiild with avowedly
wrong tendencies, the safest step is
to encourage him to seek his older
playmates. I would deny him my
babies of 3 to 6. If the child comes
to your gate who has had less of a
chance than your own little ones, it
is surely a privilege to take him in,
for he will soon begin to thrive un
der the new influences. If you have
much spare time, take in as many
children as you can. Supervise them
closely, and rather than let wilful
weeds grow among your flowers,
eliminate.
Be one of the playmates yourself
as otten as possible. Join the little
group in the yard for a few glorious
minutes, and you will come back to
to your housework completely rest
ed. A whistle from mother for a
moving train is such a surprise, or
an unexpected laugh over the tum
bling blocks makes it only a joke
where it might have been a tragedy.
The child feels your interest ever

human to desire the interest of
those we love. Toss the ball around

Draw the children of the neighbor

to experience a delightful sense of
peace and love. No flowers you
might coax to grow there are half
so worth while. With your guidance
and their daily association, they will
learn many lovely tilings, and carry
them through life. Friendship, care
for the weaker ones, unselfishness.
joy in the joy of others and a feeling
for the right are the beautiful things

that will be a joy forever.

The iron demanded by Mother Nature for

GASOLINE PRODUCTION
85,000,000 Barrels in 1918.
Previous Records Broken

reach all the mothers of the country.

won by a score of 18 to 8.
"We floated to victory on a wave
of oil," said a British admiral in the
first enthusiastic moments following
the armistice.
Just how much truth there is in
this statement has been disclosed bv
Van H. Manning, Director of the Bu
reau of Mines, Department of the In
terior, in the yearly statement pn the
production of gasoline in this coun
In 1916, before the United States
entered the war. according to the
statement, the production of gaso
line was a little short of 50,000,000
barrels. In 1917, when war activity
was accelerated by the entry of the
United fetates into the war. the pro
duction of gasoline had increased to
nearly 68,000,000 barrels, an increase
of more than 50,000 barrels a day.
It was thought by many that this
must be the peak of American patri
otic effort, but in 1918, when the war
had assumed even greater propor
tions, the production of gasoline was
over 85,000,000 barrels, an increase
for the year of more than 17,000,000
barrels. The daily increase for this
year over the record-breaking year
oi iyi i was about 47,000 barrels for
each of the 365 days, or almost as
much more as the increase of the
previous year.
How this country sent an ever-increasing
flood of this easoline to the
allies and to friendly countries is
seen in the export figures. In 1916
there were 8,473,102 barrels of gas
oline sent abroad. In 1917 this
amount had increased to 9,901,877
barrels, an increase of about 4000
barrels a day. In 1918 these exports
had reached a total of 13,312,508 bar
rels, an increase of nearly 10,000 bar
rels a day over the year 1917.
