The governor of the state has the
ear of the people. It is therefore In
his power to assist In creating and
maintaining a healthy public senti

make for community welfare. I have
been mindful of this fact, have min

all In my power to promote the de

about the construction of good roads,

Under our form of government the
conduct of a foreign war devolves oa
the president of the United States,
who is the commandef-ln-chlef of the
army and navy.- I shall do every
thing in my power to assist the pres
ident In making the power of this
community effective in the great
world conflict. I shall particularly
exercise every power and authority
which I possess to promote a maxi

that of winning the war. .No sacri

I shall stand in the future, as in
the past, for rigid law enforcement
and for a cleaner and greater Ore

principles of prohibition and equal

support.
Every legitimate phase of state de

at this time when our country Is en
gaged In the most terrible war In the
world's history, the m6st rigid econ

observed.
We have state problems of great
magnitude to be worked out for the
Increase of desirable population; for
the encouragement of manufacturing
enterprises; for the enlargement of
flocks and herds of the best breeds;
for the eradication of fruit pests and
oilier destructive agencies in orchard
and farm; for the general encourage

endeavor; for the careful, Intelligent
handling' of the several state Institu

far as possible the best lines of mod

securing for these and for every de
partment of state business the closest
possible economy.
Domestic tranquility and business
confidence are intimately related to
the public welfare. I shall do all in
my power to promote them. I note
with pleasure the growing disposition
of employers and employes to consid
er each other's rights and to adjust
differences by discussion in a spirit
of fairness and equity.
The routine duties of the office
will not be neglected by me, but
every effort will be put forth to bring
each branch of the state service to a
condition of maximum usefulness.
The efficiency of the service must
never be sacrificed for the sake of
political advantage.
I shall be mindful of the fact that
I am the representative of the whole
people and shall welcome suggestions
from any citizen to the end that the
collective wisdom may be brought to
bear on all problems.
If honored by a re-election I shall
continue to give the best that is In
me to every branch of the public
service. JAMES WITHYCOMBE.
Stanfield Is for
Military Highway
Protective and commercial reasons
are urged for the immediate con
struction of a military highway along
the Pacific coast by R. N. Stanfield,
republican candidate for United
States senator, who as a member of
the Oregon legislature and as chair
man of the State Council of National
Defense recognizes the need of such
a highway. In a recent Interview Mr.
Stanfield said:
"Construction of a military high
way along the Pacific coast is neces
sary as a protective as well as a com
merclal measure. The obvious need
13 apparent to any one who Is at all
familiar with current history and
military operations-. In addition to
its military value, it would have a
great value economically In solving
transportation problems.
"Roads and highways are becom
ing more and more a determining
factor in the development of our
country. Good .roads are an Incen
tive to practically every form of ad
vancement, both social and commer
cial, and the federal government Is
more Indebted to Oregon on the roads
side of the ledger sheet than to any
other state. This for the reason that
so much of Oregon's natural wealth
and resources aie held under federal
control, thereby evading taxation;
and to recompense the state for this
loss, the federal government should
give the state generous aid In the
construction of permanent highways.
"Permanent highway construction
should continue right along In order
that we may be in a position to forgo
rapidly forward, having every acces
sory at hand, when the war Is ended.
Roads and high ways should receive
just as liberal consideration under
present conditions as It is possible to
give them, for they are absolutely es
sential to our rapid recovery from
war conditions."

Fly Campaign for
Valley View Sshools
The Parent-Teacher Circle of the
Valley View school district held a
meeting Friday afternoon to discuss
several Important subjects. A local
Thrift Stamp Club of 23 members
had a number of representatives
present who were making It very easy
for any one - desiring to purchase
thrift 6tamps to do so without diffi
culty. County School Superintendent
Ager was present and gave an illus
trated talk on fly extermination and
the necessity of an early swat-the-fly
compangn. Figures were given to
show the progeny of a single pair of
flies permitted to live and thrive un
der ordinary conditions for a period
of 120 days. The life cycle of a
house fly is about ten days, and since
the offspring of the first generation
Is about 120 files, of which we may
safely estimate one-half to be females
and therefore capable of propagating
their kind, the number of flies from
a single generation during the warm
breeding season of three months
would be 4,427,353,903,728,813,559,
322, or forty million times the entire
population of the United States.
The figures strikingly Illustrate
the value or necessity of a swatting
campaign as early In the season as
possible. Steps are being taken In
the Valley View district to conduct a
campaign that should do considerable
toward getting rid of these dissemi
nators of disease and death.
Systematic study of summer com
plaint and the number of flies for the
same locality where such disease pre
vails, show beyond a doubt that the
fly is a disseminator of this disease,
and that this common ailment might
better be called fly complaint. For
many years it was supposed that the
recurrence of summer complaint was
as inevitable a3 the season itself, and
va3 in some manner connected with
the heat and too much ovor-rlpe fruit.

This resolution was carried by a
vote of 32 to 32. Such action had
already taken place in the state sen
ate. Apropos to the action against La
Follette at Madison,' the announce
ment of Congressman Lenroot's can
didacy for the United States senate
is Interesting. Irvine I. Lenroot has
been one of the strong administra
tion supporters in the prosecution of
the war. He is an able man: The
action of the Wisconsin legislature
in condemning La Follette presages
the election of Lenroot, whose for
mal announcement and platform
have been made.
Mr. Lenroot's expressions will
meet with universal applause from
all loyal people.

sweet potato flour, soya bean flour
or ferlna flour and meals.
"The above regulation will also ap

Potatoes arc plentiful and sell at a
reasonable figure in Ashland and vi

not to be despised.
PORTION' OF SPRITE
LOGS TO RE SAVED
SI'l'DS MAV SUBSTITUTE
FOR WHEAT PRODl'CTS
New food regulations as to flour
substitutes, in, which spuds figure
prominently, have been issued by the
national food administration. These
regulations are outlined in a tele
gram received by W. A. Folger, coun
ty food administrator, from the state
food administrator, W. B. Ayer, at
Portland, as follows:
"Owing to the extreme scarcity .of
substitutes In this state, the food ad
ministration telegraphed that tem
porarily potatoes may be added to
the list of substitutes on the basis
of four pounds of potatoes to one
pound of other subtsitutes, tothe ex
tent of one-half the quantity of sub
stitutes purchase.
"For Instance, with a sale of 50
pounds 'of flour the buyer may take
100 pounds of potatoes and 25
pounds of substitutes from the offi
cial list. The pound-for-pound regu-1
lation as to substitutes for wheat
flour Is not affected by the above,
except to the extent that an addi
tional sujbstitute is temporarily provided.

As a result of a conference be
tween mill owners of Marshfleld with
members of the staff of Colonel Brlce
P. Dlsque, head of the government'
spruce production campaign In the
northwest, spruce logs In what is
known as da.sa 3 will no longer be
cut by some of the mills, hut will be
stored in looma,.
Other mills cutting spruce will be
urged to adopt the plan outlined at
this conference. Hitherto logs of all
classes have been cut in the mills.
The percentage of acceptablo airplane
spruce in the class 3 logs is said to
be almost negligible', and they will
be (eliminated' in the future before
sawing and will be boomed for later
cutting, when the haste of getting
out airplane material is past.
By cutting only) the best grade
logs the amount of airplane material
turned out can be Increased by a
very large percentage, It Is believed.
Plans' have been made to bring
about thirty soldiers of the spruce
division to the Conlogue camp on the
Coqullle river. They will not arrive
for several weeks.
L. J. Allen Will
Organize Pig Clubs
Boys and girls of Jackson county
are being urged to grow pigs am
thus aid in downing the kaiser. A
number of applications have been re
ceived for this line of work, but the ,
response to'iiot so great as It should
be. Prof. L. J. Allen', State Pig Clutt
leader, arrived from the O. A. C.
Monday morning and with Superin
tendent Ager and Supervisor Morris
visited a number of schools whera
the work might be taken up with
profit to student as well as to Uncle
Sam.
The First National Bank of Med
ford is taking the lead, which wilt
be followed by more banks In the val
ley, In offering as a special Induce
ment to those club members not hav
ing sufficient funds with which to
purchase pigs, sums of money at t
per cent interest. This offer Is being
made only to club members who real
ly mean business. Applications may
be made for loans or for pigs upoa

Senator Condemned
By the Legislature
La Follette has been condemned by
both houses of the Wisconsin legisla
ture for disloyalty to his nation in
this, its dire time of need. Long de
bate and much acrimony preceded the
adoption of resolutions condemning
him. It was asserted that the state
of Wisconsin was on trial to deter

or pro-German, The resolution reads
as follows:
"The people of Wisconsin always
have stood and always will stand
squarely behind the national govern
ment in all things which are essen

successful end, and we condemn Sen
