REALTY AGENT SUED
Description of Tract of Land
Declared Over-Enthusiastic.
BUYER WANTS MONEY BACK
Xj. R. Kaylor Induces J. Ti. Cline and
Mrs. Cline to Purchase Home-'
stead Near W'lIIamlna That
Vied With Garden of Eden.
Biblical students have engaged in bit
ter controversy in times past as to the
probable location of the lost Garden
of Eden. That the pleasant groves
through which the parents of the hu
man race first wandered were situated
In some section of the Old World is
the one thing on "which these scholars
have agreed.
They were all wrong. Or else L. R
Kaylor, a real estate agent, whose rep
resentations have involved him In a
euit filed in the Circuit Court yester
day, was seriously mistaken regarding
the attractions of a certain little sec
tion of Oregon 25 miles west of Willa
mina, A homestead here, he told X L. Cline
ind Mrs. Julia Cline, In' a letter answer
ing their nibble at an advertisement,
was only "40 rods from the noted
Salmon River," where is the best fish
ing in Oregon. Also it was but "one
hour's walk from the best deer hunt
ing in the Northwest, and the best bird
shooting in Oregon." -Neighbors were
"the finest people in Oregon," the
Clines were told.
With the farm went "one of the best
cows in the country," 60 chickens, etc.
It was not lonely there. "Big entertain
ments every week at Grange hall" were
promised. As for communication,' it was
on the line of a survey for a railroad
which at present goes only as far as
Willamina, but eventually will go to
the Coast, the prospective buyers were
assured. And there was a stage pass
ing every day, it was said.
"Hundreds of auto parties pass
through all Summer, for there is no
better place in the Northwest for camp
ing, and as soon as the railroad is built
to the Coast over this survey this will
be the popular route to the sea coast,"
cays the letter.
The last convincing argument that
this indeed was Paradise Is found in
the assertion that it Is "where people
are happy and contented the year
around."
All this was to be for J700 cash. The
Clines traded their home at Bonita, Or.,
for the property, and now say they
were cheated and want $770.40 damages
from Mr. Kaylor and J. W. Boyer, agent
at the property.
Rich bottom lands were pointed out
as part of the property when the
traders visited it, though the land was
not included in the homestead, it is
contended. Instead of 75 per cent of
the 120 acres being level land, there
was not more than three or four acreS
level, it was said. Only eight chick
ens were found on the farm, no cooking
utensils and the only agricultural im
plements were an old scythe, an old
hoe and a worn-out crosscut saw.
The complaint admits one true rep
reesntation. The stage does pass the
property every day a mile away.
FOOD GROWING SCARCER
germans look forward to jstew
schedule: with dread.
Redaction In Allowance of Bread Pro
posed for April 15 Said to Pass
Limit of Endurance.
IiONDON, April 12. The food situa
tion is dominating all other considera
tions in Germans', according to the
Berlin Vorwaerts, as quoted in an
American dispatch to the Central News.
The Vorwaerts says:
"Notwithstanding all the big events
the new food regulations which are to
be introduced on April 15 form the
exclusive subject of discussion in the
most considerable circles of the people.
The nearer the fateful day approaches
the greater becomes the tension. A
diminution in the bread ration forms
serious difficulty for the entire popula
tion and causes great preoccupation."
Some weeks aco the German news
papers announced that the bread ra
tion would be reduced by one-fourth
beginning April 15. owing to the
scarcity of wheat. It was stated that
the potato ration would be continued
at five pounds weekly, and that 250
grammes weekly would be added to the
meat ration. Surprise and consterna
tion were expressed by the press over
the prospect, and the Berlin Volks
Zeitung declared that it would mean
that for many the limits of the bear
able would be exceeded. The bread
reduction was ordered, it was stated, as
a necessary step to insure the lasting
of the present stocks until the next
harvest.

There is no successful imitation of the

Kich red blood showing through

but health. When, your color fades you
will find that your heart palpitates on

Evmptoma of an anemic condition, of

Try building up the blood with Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
Eat nourishing food, exercise a little in

SAVE STOCK IS PLEA
Governor Withycombe Makes
Suggestion to President.
NEEDS OF NATION CITED
Aside From Food Required in This
Country, Etemand for Restocking"
European Farmers Is Urged
Oregon to IK Its Share.
15 ALE M, Or.. April 12. (Special.)
Protection of animal breeding- stock as
a factor in the conservation of the
country's food supply is strongly urged
in an appeal made ooday by letter to
President "Wilson by Governor Withy
combe. While he suggests that an organized
appeal to the country to keep female
breeding stock, veal calves and young
marketable animals from sale might
have a wholesome effect, if the gravity
of the -situation warrants, legislation
might be enacted, he suggests, defi
nitely forbidding -the sacrifice of such
stock by sale.
In his letter to President Wilson the
Governor says:
Sir: As executive of a state which la
essentially agricultural. I naturally feel an
especially direct Interest and concern In the
problems of the present National situation
which directly affect the country's foodstuff
production.
Present Steps Approved.
I am well aware of the vital Importance
not only of preserving1 our agricultural re
sources, but of Increasing; our productivity
in every possible way, as the safeguarding
and best development of our sources of food
supplies undoubtedly will be an important
factor In satisfactorily solving tbe economic
problems of the war. I have noted, there
fore, with keen approval tbe action which Is
being taken towards the organized super
vision of the Nation's agricultural production
and the conservation of Its food supplies.
In this connection I venture to call to
your-attention what appeals to me as a very
important step which, might properly be
taken directly by the Chief Executive, or
at least referred by him, for action to what
ever authority seems most appropriate.
I refer to the conservation of breeding
stock. In my opinion it would be extremely
advisable to issue an organized appeal to
the farmers of the" country urging them to
keep their female breeding stock and to
withhold from sale their veal calves and
young marketable animals. I think that
such action, especially If It could come in
the form of a President's proclamation,
perhaps, would have a markedly beneficial
effect and would, at least, direct the at
tention of the Nation to a field of common
sense conservation which will. If properly
acted upon, mean countless millions of dol
lars saved to the country during the. next
decade, and a wise safeguarding and in
creasing of Its meat production possibilities
Europe's Needs Considered.
Such conservation is especially important
because It will not be the food stuff prob
lems of our own country alone which we
must meet during the coming few years;
Europe's stock of producing animals hogs,
cows, and sheep, as well as horses- will be
depleted to a point whence it cannot build
up without assistance from this side of the
Atlantic In short, we will have unpre
cedented demands for breeding stock at
home and abroad, and It becomes a world
duty for us to equip ourselves to meet the
Inevitable calls for help.
It also should be Impossible to enlist In such
a movement the co-operation of packers and
wholesale purchasers and distributors of
meat. In fact, should the gravity of the gen
eral situation Justify such action, legislation
might well be enacted definitely forbidding
the sacrifice of breeding stock, and the sale
of animals below a certain age or weight.
and establishing a thorough-going Federal
supervision during the progress of the war.
I venture to offer these suggestions be
cause the subject seems to me, and to prac
tical students of the food production prob
lems involved, to merit the official attention
of our highest authorities, although I realize
that such steps already may be planned.
In whatever action is taken on this head,
or in anything else Involving the mobiliza
tion of the Nation's resources for ' the suc
cessful consummation of the war. Oregon
will be found willing and glad to do Its full
and patriotic share. v
