Putnam said it was and everybody
fclse seemed to think it wasn't.
Foreign governments are develop
ing a great deal of skill In the whit

to the skill the allies have developed
in warfare.

It sometimes looks as If It would

If you haven't got them.
To grant the Germans an armis
tice would necessitate the contin
uance of their present military
strength. 1 If they were disarmed
there could be no armistice.
We discuss the question of an
armistice, but demand that it mustn't
be one; we make the condition that
the Germans lose their power to
strike. Such a consummation would
go some distance further than an
armistice It would be a surrender.
And to consider anything less would
be the loudest laugh In vaudeville.
Why not say so? To say what we
palpably don't mean suggests to the
enemy that we are not quite brave
enough to be truthful.
The recent replies to Germany's
messages contain a good deal of ad
mirable firmness. It Is unfortunate
that the word "armistice" occurs so
frequently in press comments and
casts a veil of obscurity about the
attitude of the American people to
ward these deliberations.

In order that men in your employ

all men in your employ who are en

Between the 26th and 27th of
October we each conserved an hour.
What use did we make of It? On
that depends the answer to the ques
tion whether it deserved to be conserved.
The political boss should now be
convinced of his popularity in Jack
eon county. The people gave a large
majority to every candidate he did
not want.
If American gains nothing else
from the war she will at least have
a greatly Increased knowledge of
European geography.
In fact, she will assist In making
the new map of Europe.
History repeats Itself. So does
buman nature under conditions of
terrific strain. The Red Terror In
Tiussla In its cruelty and heartless
ness rivals the Reign of Terror In
Jhe French Revolution.
NOT VET.
In the third week of October the
British army was less lucky than In
tme second. The casualty list was
37,150, against 35,710 in the pre
vious week.
But both totals look much, the
same. And when they are compared
with the totals reached in most of
the earlier weeks the sameness Is
maintained. There Is a drab mo
notony about the tendency of the
lists to stick to five figures.
From which it is inferred that the
ir is not yet over, nor Is the enemy
crushed. He can dispense death In
heavy doses to all his antagonists,
altho our own casualty lists do not
reach anything like the alarming"
numbers Just quoted. We have not
so many men engaged as Great
Britain, whose levies are scattered
promiscuously between Holland and
Persia.
Let us look facts in the face, as
our soldiers do. An enemy that is
able to fight stubbornly will con
tinue to do so, no matter how plaus
ibly he may discourse on peace. If
we need precept as well as example
we can get both from our fighting
forces and from those of our allies
The rank and file of our army
have made public declarations that
the only peace they want is the kind
that an Impotent enemy accepts be
cause he has no alternative.
The French have been unkind
enough to announce that they are
not Interested in Internal reforms in
Germany. They do not care what
form of sovereignity rules that en
lightened land, provided that it Is
powerless to rule anything else.
This is the kind of serum to se
lect for the Inoculation of our Ir
resolute brethren here at home. We
need not concern ourselves with the
philosophy of government as applied
to the structure of German political
Institutions. Let the Germans wor
ry about Germany, and let us prevent
them from worrying any one else
The practical thing for us to do
In Ashland Is to tear the months of
March and April from the first 1919
calendar that we get our hands on
and nail them up in the parlor. The
Treasury Is already considering those
months in connection with the fifth
Liberty Loan.
SHORTAGE OF SEED CORN
REQUIRES UTMOST CARE
Drying the seed and keeping It
dry are two essentials In preserving
corn so it will grow in western Ore
gon where the moist winter comes at
about the time corn reaches matur
ity. It should never be stored In cribs
or piles for seed because of danger
to mold or rot, points out B. F.
Sheehan, of the O. A. C. farm crops
department. The outside of the ear
may be dry and hard but the cob an l
points of the kernel still contain
much excess moisture which will
cause mold and Injury from freez
ing. Usually corn may be dried to
better advantage by artificial heat.
After the seed ears are husked
they should be hung Immediately. An
economical and convenient, rack Is a
smooth pole or two-by-four three
feet long, with finishing nalbrdrlven
Into both sides, from 2 14 to 3 Inches
apart, and slanting upward. An ear
Is slipped over the head of each nail.
The racks may be suspended from
the celling or rafters, lessening the
danger of damage by mice.
The racks should be placed In .1
room where there lsj free circula
tion of air and heat may be applied.
The farm kitchen, furnace room, and
attic If well ventilated and heated,
are good places to store small quan
tities. Kiln or fire drying to remove the
moisture from the corn can be per
formed in different ways. A , bop
house or prune dryer may be ui
Warm air may be applied from a
furnace or stove below the corn
Large tin pipes may be used to dis
tribute the warm air. The corn may
be heated to 130 degrees without
danger of injury. When it is dry and
cannot be twisted it may be consld
ered cured.

GO AHEAD AXD SAY IT.
Nearly every discussion Is mainly
concerned with the Interpretation of
a word. But the disputants hardly
ever realize It.
If the meaning of the word "de
mocracy" Is ever really determined
we shall be spared a good deal of
arguing. But we are going to watt
a long time for the interpretation.
The word "armistice" Is being used
Just now even more promiscuously
than "democracy" and with as little
regard to Its meaning. .
The highbrows, In defining a
word, have a habit of referring to
the Latin or Greek from which It Is
derived. It ' is generally a grand
child of one or other of these pro
lific parents, and "armistice" is a
member of that numerous family.
An armistice Is an Interval during
which antagonists hold their weap
ons stationary by agreement. You
can't hold your weapons stationary

DEFERRED CLASSIFICATION
FOR NECESSARY EMPLOYES
Following is a letter from the in
dustrial advisor in Ueha1f of the
Department of Labor to the employ
ers of labor in necessary industries
in regard to the classification of men
In their employment: '
As Industrial Advisor In behalf of
the Department of Labor to District
Board, Division No. 2, 1 call your par
ticular attention to the fact that it is
your duty to claim deferred classi
fication for all men in your employ
who are "necessary" or "key" men,
especially fitted for the work In
which they are engaged or highly
specialized experts, assistant, or as
sociate, or sole managers or controll
ing and directing beads of an Indus
try or managers of a substantial or
integral part thereof; and not to
make any claim for men who are not
such. The employer, who thru fear
of criticism, falls to make a claim
which should be made, Is as blame
worthy as the employer, who, to pre
vent Inconvenience to himself, makes
a claim for deferred classification
for a man who Ib not a "necessary"
or "key" man.
It should be home In mind that
Industry at home must not be pre
served at the expense of falling to
raise an army. The army must be
raised and Industry must be main
tained st the highest efficiency.
The method for you to claim de
ferred classification for men who are
In your employ who are necessary
men as herein above defined, Is for
the eSnployer to make an affidavit
specifying fully the nature of the em
ployment and the reasons for claim
ing deferred classification; which af-
"Suicide by Inches"
THOUSANDS of people commit
suicide by inches!
If one should take minute daily
doses of some irritant or poisonous
drug, no particular effect might be
noticed until accumulation of the poi-1
son made its action evident.
Yet how many realize that irritant
and poisonous substances are formed
constantly, even in health, during food
digestion and the preparation of its
waste for elimination?
If the bowels act regularly and thor
oughly, such dangerous matter is
safely gotten rid of.
But if constipation exists, there
results stagnation of intestinal waste,
increased production of poisonous
substances, and their absorption in
to the blood, which carries them all
over the body.
! 1 The result is disease or disorder,
: which, if neglected or allowed to
continue, cripples or kills. '
The victim of such self-poison-.
ing commits suicide by inches.
Constipation is a bad habit It is
a sin against the body.
t . But there is an even worse habit,
I a crime against Nature, the taking
of pills, castor oil, laxative mineral
waters, and salts to "force the bow
els to move." Because such drugs
do not cure constipation. They
make constipation a habit. They
do not prevent "suicide by inches."
On the other hand, the NujqJ
Treatment not only overcomes con
stipation, but prevents stagnation and
makes self-poisoning impossible.
Nujol is not a drug, does'not act
like any drug j it is absolutely harmless.
Nujol helpsNature re-establish easy,
daily, thorough, bowel evacuation.
