PAGE SIX ASHLAND TIDINGS Thursday, June 6, 1018. Take Care of Your Tires America's greatest need is for ships more ships. Every available vessel is being utilized in govern ment service. Many ships that have been carrying rubber from Sumatra and Brazil have been taken for active trans port duty. This will necessarily force a temporary curtailment of tire production So, make the most of the tires you have. Use good tires. Take good care of them. Keep them in perfect re pair. See that they are properly inflated. Increase their mileage by careful driving. Keep out of car tracks and away from bumps. Don't scrape the curb or apply brakes too suddenly. Get every mile your tires have in them. Only in that way can you be assured of your car's continuous service. United States Tires are Good Tires MIS ' ' . w ' ' B p 11 1 b -i Tmmmx wiwpVfM II -"J 1111 1 ' ii,iir,Ni.iii;.iiMi::);iNiiii; mmimyamrmimmv mr j THE WAR, THE FARM - AND THE FARMER By Herbert Quick Member Federal Form Loan Board The farmer everywhere loves peace. The American farmer espe cially loves peace. Since the dawn of history, the farmer has been the man who suffered most from war. All that be possesses lies out of doors In plain sight and Is spoil of war his house, his grain, his livestock. The flames that light the skies In the rear of every Invading army are consuming (the things that yesterday represented his lite work, and the life labors of past generations of farmers. Everywhere the farmer Is a warrior when war Is the only thing which will bake and keep him tree. He cannot (rally to the colon us quickly as can the dwellers In the cities, because It .takes longer to send tothe farms the call to arms. It takes longer to call the farmers from the fields than the city dwellers from the shops. Many do not hear the first blast of the trumpet Others do not at first under stand Its meaning because they have not had the time to talk the matter over with their acquaintances. Instead lot reading half a dozen extras a day, the farmer may read weekly papers (only." He must have more time In a sudden emergency to make up his mind. ,.?-'-, "vVrTV. It is impossible to set the farmers t the United States on fire by means ft any sudden spark of rumor. But when thoy do Ignite, they burn with la slow, hot fire which nothing can put lout. They are sometimes the last to Iheat up; but they stay hot. In" long (fight they are always found sturdily parrying the battle" across Ko-Man's Land In the last grim struggle. The American fanner will give all that he pas and all that he is to win this,, great war against war. This war was at first hard to under stand. No armed foe had Invaded the United States. The night skies were not reddeneff by burning ricks and (farm houses. No, raiding parties robbed us of our" cattle" or horses. No eaberrattlers insulted our women. It seemed to many of "us that we were not at war the thing was so far' off. ,We did not realize what a giant war had become a monster with a thou sand arms that could reach across the Seas'lBid' take' frolii us throe-fourths of everything we grew. But finally we own land, haul grain or drive stock to town, it would have done only a little more than it accomplished by Its Interdict against the freedom of the sea. What was the order against which we rebelled when we went In to this war? Look at the condition of the American fanner in the latter part of 114 and the first half of 191ft and see. When the war broke out, through surprise and panic we partially gave up for a while the use of the sea as a highway. And the farmers of America faced ruin. I know an Iowa farmer who sold his 1914 crop of 28j 000 bushels of wheat tor seventy cents a bushel. Fanners in the south sold their cotton for half the cost of p-tv during It. All this time those por tions of the world whose ports were open were ready to pay almost any price for our produots. When finally we set our ships in motion onoe more, prosperity returned to the farms. But it never returned for the fanners of those nations which remained cut 08 from ocean traffic. A Fight for Life It has been fight or dlo for many of us In tho past and tlio lucky people are thoso who have sulTored, but who ore now well because thoy heeded nature's warning signal In timo to corroct their troublo with that wonderful now dis covery of Dr. Plorco'8, called "An-u-rlc."

"Every scout td ex plore for war material," is the slogan, for the government Is In urgent need of this wood for guustocks and air plane propellers. The entire black walnut growth of the country Is to be included in this census classification for war pur poses. It Is important that every tree of this species be located and placed on record, with details as tod Its size and availability, together with the owner's name and address 'and such other data as is essential in pr&viding the Information required by the government. - . .

Every' Liberty Bond you buy helps actively to s&orten and win the War, "Protection the Allies afford us may weaken our senoe of duty." Taft, Feb. 4, 1917. Have you weakened f Do your dutyj Buy Liberty Bonds, periodic savins will not fulfill the demand upon us. One method that has been pro- nosed and has the approval of the treasury department is for every citi zen to pledge himself or herself to economize and save, and with the savings at definite periods purchase specific amounts of war savings stamps. We must give our nation, we must give our men in arms, all the strength and support possible. To do this we must cut our own demands on the labor, material and monev of the country to the limit, and In crease to the limit the' supply of money, material and labor available U the government. All of our en ergies and resources should be de voted to the winning of the war, and to accomplish this we musL econo mize, gave and lend to the govern ment. ) A definite, systematic plan of sav ing, strengthened by resolve and a pledge to save and lend to the gov ernment, will be productive of the best results. The savings plan campaign is now on. Every patriotic American should make a pledge to save and keep the Pledge. , ; .

Since four or five propellers are required for each airplane and since black walnut is scarce and only the best grade can be utilized for this pur pose, it is important for the govern ment to know Immediately the loca tion of all available supplies. Wal nut Is also the chief wood used for guustocks.

OKKGOX GRASS SEED MAY HE rOS.SIHJLITV Grass seed grown in Oregon offers a new opportunity for the state to work toward its commercial Indepen dence. Every year thousands of acres of logged-off and burned-over lands are seeded to grass, mostly with imported seed. "For the most part grasses suited to the burned over lands may be growi for seed in the Willamette val ley," says O. R. Hysjop, of O. A. C. "A good clean stand of English or Italian rye grass In white land sloughs may profitably be left to ma ture ior seea, wnen 11 is cut with a binder and threshed. The seed mav b3 sold through the seed trade, to logging companies or to persons In terested In large areas of livestock range, tye grass should be harvest ed before dead ripe to prevent shat tering, and loss of color. The right t!me Is when It Is In the hard dough Pstage. If low weeds are present it should be cut with a header or self rake set rather high,, to leave the weed seed out.
