SOIL ACIDITY REDUCED BY EFFECTIVE DRAINAGE Proper tile drainage does not re quire renewal and is a permanent corrective for the common 'forms of acids In soils, says Prof. W. L. Pow ers of O. A. C. In well drained areat ed soils in good cultivated condition, these acids may be .combined with mineral constituents of the soils so as to 'become neutralized, or they may actually be removed or prevent ed from accumulating by drainage and resulting aeration. Wet much soils that contain a large amount of organic matter and no marl, or other wet sollai even when low in organic matter are gen erally more or less acid. These acids may come from decomposition of organic matter or mineral silicates. Generally the soils that have good natural or artificial drainage or have only excess flood water tliat keeps moving, and no stagnant soil water, are not materially limited in pro- Auction by acidity. Even the over flow lands on the lower Columbia and the tide lands on thecoast pro duce heavy crops with drainage. Drainage is the first step In the improvement of wet soils. After drainage lime, manures and fertll Izers can be used more effectually where needed. Lime may help lm pj-ove physical condition of heavy soils and help complete reclamation by drainage. Ol'R SOLDIER DEAD One day in each twelve months we Are accustomed to devote to the memory of those who, by their sacri fice and devotion, made possible for -us the comforts and blessings we now enjoy. If grateful thoughts of these martyred heroes were not often in our hearts, this one day's devo tion out of the twelve-month wouM be a mockery, considering the magni tude of our debt to them. But with ever-recurring thought of their great service presentin our hearts, this day becomes but the flowering of a beautiful devotion and an ennobling Jove. There Is little of tribute that has not already been said of these noblo dead, and we can on this occasion but, echo the words of writers and orators who have preceded us In this mission. 1 But America has, across the deep waters, on the battle fronts where the roar and crash of war never ceases, other thousands of brave souls who have gone forth to protect and preserve that which these our depended heroes so dearly fought for us liberty. Their breasts are to day bared to as savage a foe as ever brave hearts faced and conquered. They are there with the Iron resolu tion to fight to victory or death. They stand between their loved ones and' a fate too horrible to contem plate. , While we strew flowers above the ashes of our dead heroes, what shall lie the tribue that we send across the waters to these our noble de fenders? Shall it not bo the firm faith of a united nation, that in the power of God and the right they will win, and that In the land they have left one hundred millions of their people will continually pray and sac rifice without ceasing, . that their arms may be strong and their hearts tirave for the glorious task before them? Thus may it be! way is .easy. We ourself could get 'way-up repute as a poet or musi cian, when given an, army to back us up but not till then, maybe. Give to mostany fellow the convic tion that he's a sublime poet, com poser and artist and the war lord of earth, and he'll be crazy all right. Egotism, backed by dopotlsm, logi cally produces lunacy,- and among the "divine rights" to which WI1 helm was born was the right to bo egotist and despot for all that was in him. Genuine artistic talent never is bred and born that way. The world might put up with Wil helm's craziness as long as it was confined to Germany, but it being now rampant throughout the world, seeking whom it may devour or cor rupt, the proper thing Is to lock it up, and this Is the world's present business.

NATIONAL EFFICIENCY CRAZY ENOUGH There's nothing in tho story "Kais er Wllhelm Is Going Crazy." He's gone been gone for some time. For years, the experts have been convinced that Wllhelm's "withered" left side extended to his brain. He is the Nero of our times, barring his superiority to that old Roman villain m to personal morality. Like Nero, he has posed 83 a composer of music, poet and an artist, and better com posers, poets and artists than he are starving to death. Being also the head of militarism, Wilheim, like Nero, has acquired some standing In the arts, at least In Germany. But getting fame that I I I'M i "I I a-- -J Collars FOR SPRING CASCO'lVSm. CLWt-l'Hn Industrial production is a science, and in the world competition we must meet nations who conduct it on a scientific basis. We have in the past worked on a traditional and haphazard basis. If a mechan ical or agricultural method was hand ed down by the fathers, It became fixed for many years. There were not many producers who would an alyze It to its elemental principles I to find if it was correct. There has been a lack of techni cal schools to Impart to young men the most careful preparation for the mechanical arts. There was a lack 6t research to standardize formula; and processes of production. And most young men have not thought it necessary, to pursue such courses of 'technical study as were within their reach. In many lines now there are works of technical infor mation available. But the majority of young men engaging in these call ings do not study these sources of Information. Recent years. It is true, have shown a marked trend toward better methodand science. Many factor ies that used to buy raw materials by guess work and get cheated half the time, now depend on laboratory tests,. Thereby they get a product that they can depend upon. If wearo going to make shoes or steel, or raise potatoes, we need to know all there Is to know about ! shoes and steel or potatoes. We need to understand all the constituents of our raw material, how it tends to vary from standard form, what defects It is likely to suffer from, how it will work under all condi tions. This spirit of indefatigable inves tigation of detail, or research for complete Information about processes and materials, Is necessary to any national efficiency.
