STILL ANOTHER HARDSHIP
' " ; ' -
rtlERE are thosewhOYdo not yet
grasp the hardships that have
fallen upon, dairymen. The fol
lowing fact should impress them;
Pive hundred carloads of alfalfa
hay from Ea6tern; Oregon was re
cently bought by the dairymen and
farmers of Clarke county, Washing
ton, to piece out their limited stocks
ef winter feed, sh-ertened by the
unusual jdrouth of the spring and
summer. This hay cost the dairy-
men 429.50 a ton. It was purchased
01 evperation by weir association
under the leadership of the county
agricultural agent.
Clarke county is one of the finest
farming regions in America. Its. hus
bandmen are modern in their meth
ods and intelligent in their business.
In ordinary years they grow all their
own feed, and more. But to the
handicaps that war has brought upon
them came this year's drouth with
its great expenditure for ' import
ed hay.
Shortened pastures and lessened
milk flow from their cows is of
Course a further consequence of the
exceedingly dry season.
The Clarke county case is " typical
of the experience of all dairymen,
even in the Coos and Tillamook dis
tricts; where pastures and fields aro
watered by the dews and mists and
mbist atmosphere .from the near
ocean.
Consumers can well afford to give
every possible concession to dairy
men until this period of hardship is
passed.

The Czecho-Slovaks, or Bohemian
race, has, as a kingdom, been a
part of the Austro-Hungarian empire
since 1527. They established them
selves in Bohemia in the middle of
the Fifth century. The monarchy
was alternately hereditary and elec
tive through several centuries.
Luther said that the Reformation

of Prague was for a long time tho

an advanced seat of culture in
Europe. It was the Institution from
which John Hubs received his great
est support.
The first newspaper ever printed
is said to have appeared at Prague".
In a fertile country underlaid with
rich mineral deposits, and walled
around by great mountain barriers,
the Czecho-Slovaks are an advanced
people, strong in their ideas of
national unity, and well fitted for
seizing upon the present as a fit
time for winning national independ

The Hooney Banners
Portland, Sept. 2. To the Editor of
The Journal In our splendid parade,
which marched through the streets of
the city today, there was one discordant
element that ehould not go unchallenged.
lest it cast discredit upon the working
classes ; and that was the banners read
ing "Mooney Shall Not Hang." "Turn
Mooney Free," and the like.- Now these
banners were inspired and carried by
over-zealous spirits and did not express
the personal sentiments of an over
whelming majority of the working men,
judging from personal conversations
The Mooney demonstration was very
largely the performance of a fraternal
obligation to defend a brother, that jus
tice be done. This la net saying that
Mooney should go free If he is guilty of
laying a plot that resulted In the slaugh
ter of Innocent women, children and men
on the streets of San Francjsco. of which
he has been accused ; but Instead if
guilty, he should hang "higher than Hi
man."
It is claimed; however, that his trial
was not fair; and all we ask is afair
trial, and then jurtice be done.

is at the mercy of an eristdcratic-mUl-tary-plutocratic

truth, as you know, is that Germans!,

been perverted and poisoned by cheap
visions of military glory, with a golden

Among all the many efforts in Germany
