In many cases the factions serve to stimulate rivalry in achievement. Where this is the case they are bene ficial.

TUB HOUSK IHVII)i:i "A house divided against Itself can not stand." The words are true In all ages and with all peoples. That failure will Invariably follow disunion Is as certain as that suc cess results from unity of purpose and action. Fortunate, Indeed, Is that town that Is blessed with a citizenship that can come together as a, unit when ever the town's interest calls. It argues well for the breath of mind of Its cltlrons that they can soo beyond tholr purely personal afralrs and catch a view of. prosperity In the large. Hut the real cause of disunion In tho averago town Id not that its cltl rons are so deeply engrossed In thetr own personal affairs but that one la jealous and envious of another, one clique suspicious and distrustful of another. Not only this, but each Is really willing to forego any advance ment if by so, doing the other may be thwarted. , ; ' ', . This Is a di'plorablo state ot at fairs for any town to fall into.

The man who deliberately stands in the way of his community's prog ress Is disloyal. Just now this word has an ugly sound, but we can use no other, because no other so well fits the offense. Placed In broader circumstances, the offense would he magnified. No man's personal ln teres and no man's personal animos ity, can for a. moment weigh In the scale with the welfare ot his com munity, and the man who permits them to do so is as truly disloyal as a man who deliberately plots against lils country in the large. There is a difference only in the magnitude of the offense. Fortunate Indeed, Is the town which, when any move affecting the general welfare Is being considered, can drop its factional disputes and put a united shoulder to the wheel in the public Interest. No man has the right to Inflict his personal grievances on his com munity and compel Jt to suffer be cause of his own sore toe. Yet this go, blotted out everything which might have been of use to human be ings. The British made no effort to for tify and hold this area in case of a new German drive across it. Except for the necessary buildings to house their troops and except for road re pairs to render motor communica tion possible, the British left the re gion in the state of utter devastation In which they found It following the first battle of the Somme. ' Places like those marked Estress, Poeuilly, Brie, Athies, Tincourt, Rot sel and Buire may well have been taken by German troops, but those places are nothing but heaps of red brick dust and a few piles of shat tered stones, practically useless even for machine gun posts. The, German plan seems to have been to catch the British armies in this devastated area and engage them In a war of movement in the open where there was no cover of any kind. But the British forestalled this trick by extricating themselves with out more than normal losses, and tak ing up prepared positions still furth er hack. The territorial conquest of the Germans since March 21 Is valueless. They have simply occupied a vast Sa hara of their own making. ROTAXIST DIRECTS MOSS PRODUCTION" Prof. A. R.

Hotson, of the University of Wash ington, who is manager of the moss dressings of the northwest division of the Red Cross. Oregon share Is 500,000 pads, and Prof. Sweetser is certain that the moss can be secured in such large quantities that double that amount can be turned out. He recently re turned from a trip into the Sluslaw country, where, with the aidof the school children and boy scouts of Acme and Florence, he was able to gather 40 sacks of moss. When the moss has been properly dried It will lie sent to the Red Cross headquart ers In Eugene. An instructor in the making of the pads will come 'from the University of Washington when the materials have arrived In Oregon. Dressing from the east will arrive shortly. According to Prof. Sweetser, the people in the state are taking a great deal of interest in sphagnum moss, as evidenced by the numerous In quiries he has received concerning the kind of moss needed. He Intends taking a trip to Tillamook, where he expects to find good moss from the bogs along the coast. Astoria and Newport have also found large quantities of the moss from adjacent bogs and marshes. 4 !"Cfi9 Bank wiffi ttif Cbmo, Clack,' m Conservative H lusioaians I FUNDS deposited here for safekeep ing and convenient use are surround ed by every protection that laws and mechanical devices make possible.
