Jenks Suggests That They Follow Example of , European Sisters 'I wlfsh that you newspaper men could only luiurp&s uixm th- minds of the women of hi community tli- i . . ... . ... , Importance of tbc-fr aid In garnering the crops this year, even to the - tent of plowing the lands, if need be," said Manager W. T. Jtnka of II. S. Oiie & Co. At the time of making this re mark Mr. Jenks was intently Kazing upon a photograph of his brother, which was received in a late mail from Kngland, where he is now sta tioned in a hospital of the British army, recovering from shrapnel wounds received In the shoulder and thigh while fighting somewhere in France. In discussing the question of farm labor in Marion county, Mr. Jenks grew very enthusiastic over the prospect of producing and harvesting 150 per cent greater crops than last year, not only In the line of fruits, but all kinds of grains, livestock and vegetables, already under contract to the factories fn Salem. The very success of the starch factory, soon to be established, depends on grow ing and harvesting the biggest .crop of potatoes ever planted In this county. "I "am not alone tn predicting 150 per cent Increase this year in our 'crops of all kinds, especially in the matter of fruits and vegetables," continued Mr. Jenks. "I bousht a traction engine for our prune or chard near Newberg, and I know farmers generally are buying tract- , ors, and other power machinery, for we are short of farm labor worse than ever before In the history of this county, and It Is the same all brer the state. "The w-eather all during, the month of February has been wet, wetter than usual, and that makes it all the betters for the crops already In the ground and to be planted. Mrch bids fair to have a continue ane of moist weather, but a, little more rain will do no. harm, and there Is no dan?er of a late frost now, even If there was a frost In July, 1917, that killed 100 acres of potatoes near Indite Lablsh. That, of course, was an Isolated case, owing to the peculiar topography of that particular piece of ground, and prob ably would not happen again In fifty years. - ' "If yon will read the papers yon will see that the Knellsh women of wealth are today and hare been for more than a year past, working on the farms... There Is no one else left at home, - except children and old men. or wounded ' soldiers. The French women are doing the same, and have for years. Let some of our American women hel?

Commercial Street ers and harvester ad the operating of traction engines is today being done not only by the KntjliBb and French women of the wealthiest families, but In the eastern part of the 1'nited States they are doing that kind of work, and enjoy it. or rourw! you understand they are properly dressed for the work, as every woman who rides a bicycle or hors should be miitahly attired for thu -xr-lP, and the kinl of farm ins; 1 wond have thfip do likf my own sisters In Knsland are doing is really health giving in every sense I f the wotcI 1 "We will see what can be done in tbis farm labor matter at the mass j J f.t n r of Kr0wers soon to be held, j and with the help of J. W. Brewer, tJi' government farm labor man, who ! is om1nr down from Portland, we i mav be aMe to solve this difficult problem. "1 Fad this county appointed a county agricultural agent, as the government desired us to do last December, I am satisfied that the recently made crop and farm labor survey would have brought in re- turns from at least SO or 85 per rent of the 3400 farms In the county, iusteud of only 15; per cent, which amounts to nothing from a practical point of view. "To win this war now is a Ques tion of growing more food, the sal vage of food, and ships to put it over the seas in. The latter is just as im portant as It Is to raise the food stuff, and to save It. So all you old men. who cannot work on the farms, tetter (get into the F,hi-p:ird. aa there yon wil! do more than any where elfe in the nation's campaign for victory." BRYAN GIVEN NO HEARING AT TORONTO (Continued from page 1) Mr. IJryan. "I come as the repre sentative of 25.000,000 American people who have banded themselves together in various organizations fo the promotion of prohibition. I have spoken In one hall tonight before an audience that gave me not only respectful but enthusiastic atten tion. "I find that less than five per cent probably more nearly less than two per "cent of this audience refuses to allow the rest of the audience to hear me speak.. Ordinarily, those who Interrupt a meeting are put out because they refuse an over whelming majority the right tor hear. In this case, I am not willing that force should be used to elect th men from the hall. I would rather that the meeting should break up. Jxyalfy Is Spoken. "My patriotism is satisfactory to the president of the United States: if Is satisfactory to the cabinet of the United States; It is satisfactory to the congress of the United States. There is not a single person fn the Ur Ited States who can say that one drop of blood in my veins Is not loyal to my eenntry." Vr. IJryan told the reportera that his daughter was married to a Brit ish engineer officer; that one of his granlsrns wis a British subject and that another was in the navy depart-: tnent at WasMnton.

Mr. Ilutchins, - who Is one of the foremost whistlers In the I'nited States, can imitate any bird between earth and sky, including the poodle dog and the mule 'skinner." While his association with the latter probably has not been as close, or his study of the mule driver's music as thorough as his acquaintance with the birds of finer feather, et he certainly could make a herd of eastern Oregon neddies Jump into their collars with less than thirty minutes' practice. Mr. Ilutchins was eiven a great ovation by the Elks who were out In larger numbers than usual for the entertainment. His imitations are j as marvelous as they are delightful, 1 and his work with the crayon in drawing the birds whose music he pings is no less wonderful.

CITY RESIDENTS MUSTfflRE OUT Governor Suggtls That Town Folk Go Into Oregon Har vest Fields Governor Withycombe deplores the tendency of Oregon farmers to cut down the acreage being planted to crops because of fear that a' short age of labor v$lll exist at the harvest period, and In a statement yesterday urged that the farmers Increase rather than diminish the crop acre air. To help meet the shortage of labor the governor suggests that city residents who are accustomed to tak ing their vacations In the country go Into the fields this year as harvest hands. "The farmers fear a shortage of labor," aaid the governor, "and for this reason they are cutting down their acreage sown or planted to crops. This is a serious move, and It Is vitally important that the acre age in crops this year be Increased instead of diminished. Every avail able acre must be planted, whether It be In the country or In town. "Some action must be taken to meet the shortage' of labor. One thing that will help Is for the resi dents of cities who are In the habit of spending their vacations In the country go Into the fields this year as harvest hands. The state council of defense and the secretaries of commercial bodies, I believe, should make It their duty to list all per sons of this class who will volunteer their services."

There wtre no American casual ties. Five French soldiers were wound ed during the fighting. The Americans stayed In their dug outs until the proper time, when they jumped to the guns and fought like veterans. , Yesterday one officer and one man were killed and two were wounded by enemy shell fire. On Amerlei.i soldier was "gaxsed." The Germans made a gas -attack alfto In this sec tor, firing fifty projectiles of high percent gaa and twenty high explo sive shells. One American soldier la dead and eight are suffering from the effects of poisonous gas, so far as report, but It Is probable that more casualties will develop as In the Toul attack.

Reports have been current that this addition would be made, as Is being done In some eastern states, but under exist ing conditions It will not be done In Oregon. "Basing, my conclusions upon the results of diligent Investigations, actuated by the receipt of numerous Inquiries, this department Is unable to establ'gh the truth of the reports which seeme ot have gained circula tion. that the fire insurance com panies -contemplate applying the 10 per, cent war tax premium on fire insurance policies in Oregon," saia Mr. Wells. "The tax alluded to is authorized under the provisions of the federal war revenue act of October. 1917 In several o? the eastern states this tax Is being added to the premium on policies, but so far as I am able to learn, the fire Insurance compa nies have no intention at the present at least, of placing this tax on Ore gon policy holders, because the peo ple, especially In the city of Port land, are not only practicing, but are preaching fire prevention, which has materially reduced the Immense fire waste of previous years. No one can forecast the future; but under pres ent conditions existing in Oregon, this tax will not be added." Falsehood by Hearst Is Plainly Evident TORONTO. Ont.. Feb. 28. (By Canadian Press.)
