Hundreds of thousands of acres of land will get the benefit of this, and their output will be a big factor In mitigating the world's food crisis due to the war. The principle of cq operation that must be applied to all our activities throughout the war and for all time after the war. Remember always that there are two kinds of co-operation, one enforced by the state and the other voluntarily effected by In telligent men who know what they want for themselves and what they must do for their fellows. To avoid the former we must make success ful the latter." AX HOXEST DRAFT THE FIFTY DOLLAR BOXD In issuing Liberty Loan bonds In a denomination as small as $50 the secretary of the United States treas ury has put It In the reacn of almost every American citizen to do a real and actual service to his country. Not all can fight, not all can render personal service in other ways, but those who are denied the privilege of serving their country In person have the privilege of serving her by lending their money to win her vic tories. But it is not patriotism alone that urges the buying of Liberty Loan bonds. Thrift and a wise economy in investing small savings commend these Liberty Loan bonds to small In vestors. They are safe, and consider ing their tax-free quality free from all federal, state and local taxes (In heritance taxes excepted) and free from any war tax that may hereafter be levied, affording an absolutely net Income of 3 per cent,, they consti tute an Ideal Investment for savings. Nor Is there any reason for wait ing for a later bond Issue in the ex pectation of a higher rate of Interest being obtained, for the law provides that should such bonds be Issued lat, er, Liberty Loan bonds may be ex changed for them at par.

Ashland, Ore., Thursday, June 7, '17 AX ERA OF CO-OPERATION The secretary of the Interior, Mr. Lane, In an interview in the New York Times of May 6, discusses the nation's war plan. Of particular in terest are his remarks on co-operar tion In Industry, as compared with the anarchic Individualism which has marked previous times, but no longer serves. Mr. Lane says, In part: "We are Just beginning in the United States on this work of broad gauge organization and co-operation. The war has waked us up to the ne cessity of It. It has shown beyond all question that a democracy cannot rest on economic anarchy and the great test for us is going to be to get rid of such anarchy. ,"We cannot continue to blunder along under conditions which make for a shortage of labor In one section of the country and enforced idleness In another part; of scarcity and high prices of a commodity here and of quantities of that same comodlty go ing to waste elsewhere. "The war Is going to teach us how to put an end to these things and. after the war, we are going to pro duce more wheat, more steel, more everything, than ever before and with less waste than ever before. But It is going to be a hard lesson. "It is no reflection on our society to admit that we need reforming, for It took such a tremendous thing as this war to make the need manifest to ourselves. We have, without real izing It can-led Individualism to the point of Belflahness where It was In danger of defeating Itself. Now we will conserve Individualism and In dividual Initiative for this country by showing its proper limits as marked by the absolute necessity of co-operation. "For an Illustration, the farmer lias been the most Individual thing In the United States. We are show ing him the way to something far Within a few days the. machinery for wholesale conscription of our young men will be set in motion. The American people are" hoping that the operating of that machine will be free from any taint of scandal. Perhaps the handling of the draft ing machinery will be absolutely Im partial and incorruptible. Still that would not always have been possible. It Is not many years ago that the making of registration lists or elec tions was badly tainted, tfames were enrolled of men that had been dead for years, and the politicians brought in gangs from other states to vote on those names. All kinds of frauds were worked off on an indifferent public. Today popular sentiment Is strong against these methods, and the poli ticians do not dare employ them so i mL - . i i uiuuii. inn are iuo many riBKs about It. It lo cheaper to manipulate legislation through lobbies. But no doubt there are still plenty of elec tion officials who are still purchas able. Some of the draft clerks might be open, to quiet influence, accom panied by the sufficient consideration to see that this or that name was accidently omitted. It is not likely that this thing will take place on any considerable scale. Public sentiment would be so bitter against It that comparatively few of ficials would dare try It. However, if there are anywhere any dishonest men In charge of this drawing they will note the penalties provided by the act. They should also remember that conviction for this offense would be accompanied by a peculiar Ig nominy. Where people might toler ate an election fraud they will be very bitter against this form of pref erence, and will favor the limit of penalty for It. In view of this it seems likely that efforts to corrupt the draft will be rare so that we shall get a very honest conscription. It is absolutely necessary.

Many misunderstandings have arisen with regard to the Official Bulletin, which Is being Issued by the Committee of Publio Information- under order of the president. This publication is not a newspaper In the accepted sense of the word. Its single purpose is to assure the full and legal printing of the official announcements of govern ment heads in connection with gov ernmental business. Exclusive publication Is not Its thought or ambition. It will not la terfere with the legitimate functions of the press In any manner, nor will official news be delayed or withheld in order to give the Bulletin any special news significance. In the columns of the Bulletin It is proposed to publish proclamations and executive orderB of the president; rules and regulations whieh the vari ous heads of the executive depart ments and other government estab lishments are authorized and directed by various statutes to make and pro mulgate; administrative orders and rules framed and Issued by each de partment or government establish ment for the conduct of Its own busl- Heard and Overheard (By Lynn D.

The following effuluslon (coined word, patent applied for) was sob bingly indited to us by a young man acquaintance of ours who came rush ing down out of the park the other day, wild-eyed with bitter disappoint-ment: She seemed so endearing; He noticed her matchless hair; Her incomparable complexion; Her dreamy eyes; Her refreshing cheek; Her model-like features Which he thought only A sculptor could fashion; Her summery attjre; Her maddening perfume, Which made his blood Surge through his veins. And as he eat beside her, It seemed impossible to him That he should refrain From crushing her loveliness Against his heart. But he' did refrain; And suddenly She bent over (The plot thickens) To Inspect a grass stain Which besmeared the whiteness (Not of her neck but) Her trim, modish tennis shoe. Then: His gaze followed her hand, And his horrified eyes noticed: A small hole In her silken hosiery. (That was the climax.) Finis: He grabbed his hat And Sought other fields For his devotion.
