WHEAT IN CUBA.
Caba haa been famous for two crops,
sugar and tobacco. They have been
easy to raise. They hare made her
wealth.. The constituted natural mon
opolies. She has been more satisfied
with them than our South ever was
with "King Cotton."
And now the Cuban government is
distributing wheat for seed, and the
sugar and tobacco planters are cheer
fully agreeing to use it For the first
time in her history Cuba is expected
to have a considerable wheat crop in
1918.
It's only a part of a general cam
paign to make Cuba produce her own
food. The government Is preparing to
finance a groat agricultural movement
Intended to make the Island independ
ent In this respect, and if possible, to
provide a food surplus for the benefit
of the Allies.
Hard necessity is driving the Cubans
to it They are going to sow wheat
because they can't buy the flour they
need. They are going to raise pork
because they are having "lardless
days." They are undertaking catUe
raislng tor the same compelling rea
son and going In for poultry and vege
tables on an unprecedented scale.
It will be a fine thing for Cuba. Her
soil is wonderfully rich. Egyptian
wheat grows about as well there as In
Egypt and various staples can be pro
duced in abundance with little effort.
It will do no harm to use some of the
tobacco lands for foodstuffs. And
there is plenty of available land now
uncultivated.
This is merely a striking exemplifi
cation of a. world-wide movement
Everywhere there is a demand for
better utilization of the land, better
agricultural methods, greater food
production. At present it is merely
the natural response to an urgent
aeed. But the change Is not for a sea
son or two only. And after the war
we shall reap the advantage,
By that'
time every nation will have learned
the truth that of all economic products,
food is the most important Every na-'
tton will have improved Its methods;
of agriculture and made possible the
production of food In greater abund
ance. There will be plenty of food
then, and therefore cheap food. It j
will be one of the war compensations, i

BUILDING MODERN ROADS.
In spite of the reaction against ma
cadam road construction, yet probably
tnnnav fa at 111 hairier nut into
this type of construction than intojtruPe f thJs
" I tha bob alaiiAA rW m lull
any other. But unless in 'the most
thorough way, with the closest atten
tion to detail, it Is good only for light
traffic Heavy trucking and fast run-!
ning automobiles will break it down in
a season.
The under earth muBt be thorough
ly rolled when wet until soft spots are
packed down. If any weak spot Is left
the crushed stone will soon drop Into
it and cause holes. Side ditches and
drains must be arranged to carry off
moisture.
A inn form of rock must be chosen.
Granite is too coarse, limestone too
soft though a small quantity of lime
stone is often mixed with harder rock
and Is useful In giving a cementing j
quality. Trap rock, dlabese. basalt,;
and porphyry rocks are most favored.
The crushed rock should be laid in a
clean condition, so that the interstices
will not be filled up by dirt that will
wash down later.
The rock should
pack together into the smallest possi
ble space.
The standard construction of ma
cadam road requires four to eight In
ches of coarse rock for the base, and
two to four Inches smaller surfacing
rock. The rolling must be very thor
ough. There is a tendency for the
rolling to pus the surface up into the
form of waves, and some authorities
urge rolling diagonally to overcome
this. The road will hold, only if the
rock pieces, which should be sharp,
are pressed down so as to interlock
mechanically with each other, thus
constituting a solid fabric.
The standard binders outside of the
bituminous materials, are fine stone
screenings and water, sand and water,
limestone screenings and water, and
clay and water.
FARMERS AND OTHER INDUS
TRIES IN SAME BOAT.
The war has brought farming Into
prominence as one of the great indus
tries of the nation. It has brought to
the farmer the same problems which
for years have been confronting other
lines of industry.
Efficient help to which formerly the
farmer hardly gave a thought to Is
now almost Impossible to secure.
Wage questions, which used to be of
small consequence are now a great
Item to the farmer and the day seems
to be close at hand when hours of
work and wage scale will be set for
the farmer by labor organizations.
Equipping his farm with modern ma
chinery is another of the fanners
problems.
The foregoing are a few of the main
issues faced today by all lines of in
dustry and the farmer equally with
the manafacturer is interested in con
servative policies which encourage
the development of the state and tend
to hold down and reduce city, county
and state taxation.
PUBLIC
SCHOOL ENROLLMENT
AND THE WAR.
'Enrollment in American public
schools has been affected by the war,
bat not to the extent of making it leas
than last year, according to figures
compiled by the department of the
Interior through the bureau of educa
tion. Figures from 1411 cities and
696 counties or districts show an in
crease of close to the normal amount
of 1H per cent In elementary schools.
In high schools, however, the increase
in only one-fourth of the usual 9V per
cent
Such increase at there is in high
school enrollment is caused by the
girl students. Fewer boys are enrolled
this year In every class in high school
except the fourth; apparently there
is a healthy tendency for boys in the
senior year to remain and graduate.
In city elementary schools the in
crease In enrollment is actually some
what above normal; but In city high
sehools there is a marked falling off,
especially among the boys.
Country schools show gains over
last rear both in elementary and hlnh
school enrollment but not as great as j
would be expected under normal con
ditions. Rural high schools show In
creases for both boys and girls, de-
spite the war.
WHAT TIME HAS PROVED
Some of the Democrats who, last
April, opposed the appointment of a
Joint bl partisan congressional com
mittee on the conduct of the war, now
want to go even farther and appoint a
super-cabinet If they had consented
to the constructive suggestion made
by Republicans as soon aa we entered
the war, there would not now be such
a muddled condition as to give rise to
the demand for a super-cabinet
The council of national defense has
ask! the public not to send food to
soldiers in camps, on the assurance
that an abundant supply is provided
by the government It is to be hoped
that this request will not have a
sequel similar to that which followed
the announcement of Secretaries Bak-
ler and Daniels that there was no need
for knitting sweaters, mufflers and
helmets because the government had
provided ample clothing.

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Dec.
14. Dear Father I have Just received
a letter from Otis, and was kure glad
to receive it. It found me O. K. and
feeling fine, and sorry that I did not
receive your letter from 8. A. Texas.
"I have just received a sweater and
a pair of mittens donated to us from
the Red Cross. They were very much
appreciated by the boys. We also re
ceived lots of free contributions of to
bacco, which we all like.
"This is some place for mud, espec
ially when it freetes of a night It be
gins to thaw out about noon, then you
have about 50 pounds extra added to
your feet It sure is a 'sticker.'
"We are getting all kinds of good

STILL IN FRANCE, Christmas Day
Dear Father "Just a line to tell you
of a fine Christmas dinner we had to
day. It was Just a repetition of the one
we had on Thanksgiving day lota and
lots of turkey, pies, cakes, nuts, can
dles and fruit Everything was Just
simply fine. Also received a lot of
tobacco and other appreciative arti
cles from the Red Cross.
"We are having a regular Valley
Forge stuff here now. Everything has
been covered with snow for ten days,
and the thermometer hovering below
zero. It makes me think of what Mrs.
Gonnan in the Black Hills used to say
'And this is a h of a Christmas.'
"I am feeling fine and still retaining
my big appetite.
"Suppose you all had a Merry Christ
mas with plenty of good eats. Well,
don't worry about the Yanks not being
fed over here. I think they see where
it will be up to us to do all the fight
ing, so they are handing it out even If
whole Europe starves.
'The French say that the Yanks are
the life of the trenches. They all like
to scrap beside a United States uni
form, especially the French and the
Scotch. The Scotch are the ones that
never take a prisoner, and are admired
as the greatest fighters over here. They
say 'going towards German fire Is just
like going toward music for the Sam
mies.' They're over the top and on
Fritz before he knows they're even
started.
"Wiehing you all a Happy New Year,
I am as ever your son.

BY ATTORNEY STONE
SALEM, Or., Jan. 30. (Special)
William M. Stone, attorney of Oregon
City and one of the company of the
Clackamas County Driving and Raft
ing company, has Just appeared be
fore the commission and asked It to
hurry up the Issuance of a franchise
to that company for driving and raft
ing forest products on Butte and Coal
creeks In Clackamas county.
The application for the franchise
was filed a considerable length of
time ago, itbelng the third to bo given
a hearing by the commission and Mr.
Stone has been anxious to have the
franchise granted.
Hla anxiety is caused principally by
the fact that there is a heavy demand
for timber products at the present
time and a ready market at good
prices would be assured tbe company
If it could get action on the logs.
It is expected that the commission
will expedite the issuance of tbe or
der as requested. One of the commis
sioners stated today that people along
the streams had expressed their will
ingness for the franchise te be granted
and apparently nothing stands In the
way of the commission going ahead.
Attorney General Brown has Just in
Jormed the commission that In event
no franchise has been granted on a
given stream, that any individual may
float his own forest products on such
stream without a franchise from the
commission. This, however, is under
stood not to apply to streams where
It is necessary to construct splash
dams and other improvements in or
der to place the stream in such condi
tion as to make logs floatable.
The Milk Creek Logging & Booming
company .which some time ago asked
for a franchise on streams in Clacka
mas county, but failed to follow the
proper legal steps in making such ap
plication, hag not filed a new applica
tion and such a length of time has
passed since Its first application was
thrown out there seems to be no Indi
cation that the company will ask tor
a new one. , .

or, who ta visiting the schools of
Clnckumns County, says that they are
working primarily for the buys and
glils, ami also In the Interest of the
(ovormntmt In helping to win Ilia war.
In time of war, It Is not a mattttr
alonu of iiinn, Imllots and bnyouots,
but It Is a mattar Just aa much of
lumnn, Imi'im and lo r. An army inn
not fight uuleit It Is well fod, and the
supreme duty of this country Is to
fund not only ourtlve, but our inl
dlnrs and our nlllos. In this our boys
ami girls can hulp, ami at tha im
tltnt gain valuable tittrU'm' and
make good profit by taking up the
Industrial club work and raising gar
dens, corn, potatoes, pig, chickens,
rnblitts, or anything In the line ot food
products. They will take more Inter
est and gotta better results.
If every boy In the country, who Is
situated so he can do so, could raise
a pig or two, It would go far toward
meeting the shortage ot maets and
tats.
By Investing their profits In thrift
stamps or liberty loans, they ar help
ing the government and establishing
In themselves civic pride, patriotism,
and good cltlionshlp,
There never was a time when It wai
so Important that the children bave
opportunity and encouragement to
take up some phase of Industrial club
work. The needs are unusually great
markets good, and profits sure. In
organising clubs at this time we em
phasise the projects of food produc
tion. The corn and pig growing pro
jects are two very important ones and
well adapted to conditions In most
parts of thl county. The two pro
jects go welt together. Splendid work
along this line haa been done by Jsdge
Grant II. Dimlck In furnishing the
boys seed corn and offering prlte in
tha local corn growing contests. Many
bankers are assisting In this work by
loaning the children money with
which to buy pigs. Last year one
banker put a thouiand dollars Into thla
movement, taking the boys' and girls'
notes at six per cent Interest np to
the amount of tl Orach. He lost not
a single ollar hi this venture with
these young borrower!, and Is ready
this year to put &.000 Into the work.
