If th plant do not thrive, the people will not. Your last sentence states tha case vory well. Th family Is In fair thouajh not vig orous health. The plants usually live, but Dot In vigorous health for several months. Would It not ba a good Idea to try to grow potted plants In schoolrooms, offices tactoriea and homee? suppose a school teacher found that planta would not grow In her schoolroom, or a chief clerk that they would not grow In an office, or a mother In the home.

GRAXTS POLICY STILL FOLLOWED 11 la Attltade aa to War Moaltloaa Same aa That af Today. PORTLAND, Jan. 2. (To the Edi tor.) In The Oregonlan December 30 I notice a letter frofn O. E. Frank. Recdrllle. Or., that is rather sarcastic In its tone, and in which he makes the statement that this Nation Is earn ing the everlasting enmity of the Teu tonic allies by letting its citizens sell all sorts, kinds and conditions of sup Dlles to their enemies, and makes the erroneous statement that General Grant nlaced an embargo on the whlpments of munitions to France during- tbe Franco-Prussian war. That Is rather a shallow subterfuge to dodge behind, for every well-informed person knowa It to be a matter of history that General Grant did place an embargo cn arms and munitions being snipped to f ranee which had at one time belonged to and were part of our Government equipment In defense. but did not place an embargo on lndi vlduala or firms making such ship ments. Our present Administration I do think would not sanction the Na tional Government sealing arms and munitions to any of the belligerents. However, there is nothing to prevent individuals from doing so. Germany did not gain our everlast ing enmity through letting her sub jects sell arms and munitions to Spain and later to the Filipino insurgents. with whom we were at war. it is a matter of history that 9? per cent of the rifles captured in the Philippine Islands, even as late as 1913, were ail German Mausers. Not a single Bel glum. French. Kngllsh or Italian make of rifle has been captured on the islands In recent years, and It Is within tho memory of Mr. Frank that this Government Imposed a blockade to prevent guns and ammunition of Ger man manufacture from reaching Huerta. It is Germany s business to stop the shipments' from going to the allies, or the allies' business to stop thera'from going to Germany. It would sound strange to Jlr. irand and be queer reading for him to be told that Germany Is still buying am munition In the United States from private Individuals. Would It be rltrht to refuse to -ll them and ttill main tain our neutrality? H. P. I BRYA.V OPPOSEDt j Writer Thinks Ei-Heerettry la Entitled to .wore toruldrralioo. WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Jan. 1. (To the Editor.) The writer, together with a large number of readers of your valu able paper, cannot comprehend the motive or wisdom of a great editor of a great paper like The Oregonian in continually knocking W. J. Bryan. It seems strange that a man that has the largest and most steadfast follow ing of any single individual, with or without the power and prestige of high public office. In this country should constantly be advocating poli cies and principles subversive to tire highest and best Interests of our peo ple. It is more than strange that this large body of people, the majority of them, the peace-loving people of our country, not only In principle, but In practice, should continually bold thetr strong allegiance to such a consummate blunderer. Are they blind or Is it pos sible that some one else might be mis taken, at least sometimes? Another thing that is more astonish ing, that you and other editors, all professing their strong devotion to peace, are holding ur to ridicule, if not contempt, any and all persons who are earnestly advocating peace, while you are vehemently insisting that the true patriots and peacemakers are those who are loudly proclaiming for military preparedness. Remember, this same preparedness in time of peace has either attacked some other nation in defense of so-called national honor or provoked some other nation to attack It. What nations are at war today? Surely not those cations that were bo manifestly unpatriotic as not to pre pare for defense in time of peace. No. strange to believe, it is those ade quately prepared for national defense nations that have been striving dili gently for years to-build up an army and navy sufficiently strong to keep away other grasping nations and al low them to work out their own pe culiar national problems unmolested. You tell me we can start down that military road and that you mllitarlsts-for-defense-only can stop at the right point to stop aggression. I answer, no nation In the history of the past ever stopped-or turned back. They traveled to the inevitable end destruction. I think that the sentiment of the great mass of people that follow con science instead of personal or poiui cal interests is that men who ridicule peace advocates, men that are anxious to manufacture munitions of war for present destruction and to continue for future wars are not patriots, but rather that men like Henry Ford and millions of other Deace advocates, who are will ing- to try. however fruitless the ef fort may be. to stop the fearful wars now raging and to keep our own coun try on th- true road to peace and hap piness, showing the world that in the future, as It has been tn me pasi, national existence and wonderful growth do not depend on large armies and strong navies are the real patri ots. They deserve the respect and homage of all persons who really want reace instead of war. u. o. isb.i.v. We bad supposed that it was gen erally conceded that the human famliy will and has a right to differ in its honest opinions. Thtt 1. r. Bean finds such a condition strange is in itself strange. We doubt that Mr. Bryan's following is as large as the correspond ent assumes, but It also seems Stranjje that that following, such as it Is, hangs tAir-iii-p hchlnil a man who is so In - . i . e fna.n.na-nf thnncrht that he persistently accuses the opponents of his views as naving uuenor pur poses. If Mr. Bean will heed the words of other streat men as well S3 he does those of Mr. Bryan he may some day discover that intelligent thinkers do no look for motives behind every ex pression of opinion contrary to their own. topm nf Skin Disease. PORTLAND, Jan. I. (To the Edi tor.) An article in The Oregonian headed .vianna it.cn coiuauia iw mation which might easily mislead your readers. Having had some expe u n a in tho nelehborhood of Singa pore as surgeon, the nature and story of VDoby-Itch" is quite familiar to me. It is a popular term for contagious skin disease supposed io nave t .., t.a throiKrh the laundrv or dobv. Tl:e dohy-man is the laundry- man. Any contagious skin msease mav therefore be doby-itch, but the most usual form is a ring-worm. Im petigo, or scabies, might just as cor rectly be so called If the source of in fection was the doby. The native remedy Is Goa powder, rubbed into the eruption moistened with a little water, or better, vinegar. It is very effective; and in European ring-worm, in my hands, has proved more effective than chrysophanic acid itself. II. B. PULLEN-BURRY, M. B. C s. . Motber-s Day. WARRENTON. Or., Jan. 1. (To the Editor.) Where did the idea of cele brating "Mothers' day" originate? Was it recognized as such In Europe before being held in this country in the vari ous churches? INQUIRER. The United States was the first na tion to give National recognition to Mothers' day (second Sunday In May). It is now designated by Presidential proclamation, the first proftamation having been Issued by Pre'lsdent Wil son in 1914 in accordance with a reso lution passed by Congress In 1913. In nearly every state It had for sev eral years been customary for the Governor to issue a Mothers' day proc lamation. National recognition was the culmination of several years of work. The idea originated with Miss Anna Jarvis. FARMERS' WEEK. So Liza and I are off today To spend a week at college. To learn if we may a new tangled way To grow tomatoes and cabbage. They're teaching everything up there now,- From sewing and canning beans To making hay on a rainy day And milking cows with machines. I reckon the boys are big enough To run the farm a few days, So's Liza and I can say good-by To the broom and the span o- grays. 'Twill do us both a heap o' good To mingle with college people. And learn their brogue and style in vogue ' And try to look their equal. Shall we step in and learn the secrets The Lord has writ in the soil? Be taught how a knight of modern might Can grow things without toil? And learn to mix our brains with work So kale will spring from the ground. And earn us gas for our modern jackass To haul the children around. Then step In yonder and learn the frills That'll make you dignified. And I'll stay here and try my dear To keep up with the tide. And If you're spoiled for work and worry - ' When Saturday night draws near, I'll take the blame and suffer the ahame. 'Twas I who brought you here. illLO MAYS. Far wl. Grove. Or.

And merge with the form at the top. I quaff till the chalice is empty, Down, down to the uttermost drop. And I ponder in reminiscence. Of thy origin long ago. The upland, the field, and the river That flows from the mountain of snow. The hops and the barley that bred thee. The water that blended thy brew. And I dream of the mountains and valleys, And Oregon's skies. Summer blue: The rattle and click of the reaper. As it garners the grain from the field. The odor of hops from the upland. And the harvest of joy that they yield; The laudhter of red-lipped maidens. The warmth of September's mild sun. The showers of rain in the valley, Whero harvest is over and done. But the wraith of the old god Gam- brinus Arises with gloom in his eye. For the righteous have issued the edict, That the god of the jovial die. No more from the field and the upland Are garnered the fruits of earth. To be malted and brewed and lagered. For social or bibulous mirth. Oh. Macbeth hath murdered but slumber. While the Prohl hath slaughtered our dreams. Of irastronomic perfections. Of the blends that our palate es teems. No more the hot dog and the crawfish Shall take of thy flavor for me. No more the cream brick and the Schweitzer Thy comrades celestial be. We'll drink of the fruit of the logan. And resort to the afternoon tea. We'll develop a brain like Bill Bryan. And, then, where the deuce shall we be? We shall dwell at peace with all man kind. And with womankind well, we shall see.. And all the ills of the human Shall be sunk fathoms deep In the sea. For the Prohi hath set his John Henry Attest with the grreat seal oi gloom. That none may partake of thy nectar From now till the cracking or aoom. So thy bubbles rise up through the amoer. And my thoughts on old memories I greet thee, and say with the ancients. "I loved tnee; so nan ana J. H. PEARCY, 115 Willamette boulevard. le Ta rn lawful. Tv-vo-rT.A-ivrrv t. . 9. fTn the Edi tor.)
