"Entered at the Postolflce In Salem, MORE LOGANBERRIES, A thousand more fanners, or more, In the "country surroiinlmr Salem, are expected to plant from one to tlire or four acres each, this spring; within the next thirty lays; iml those who have leen raising loganberries are expected to raise more to the acre than they have been gathering heretofore, 'ft If they will intensify in cultivation, they can, and many of them will produce six to ten tons to the acre, instead of two to five or nix tons, an they have been doing in past years. Sam Brown of (jervais, one of the largest growers in the valley, says there seems no limit of age to a bearing loganberry yard : that, after twenty years, with the proper attention, they are increasing in yield. j The canes of 4his year produce wxt year's berries. They should have the very best cultivation possible?, 'fhey will pay well for the -'. extra attention, in additional yild of berries that will bo as good as gold. For any farmer, whether ho be horticulturist or not, there i nothing better for a side issue, for a diversification, than an acre or a few acres of loganberries, that he ami the members of his family may give the proper attention in the way of-intensification. This may be as tfuly said of dairy or general farmers as of those who have heretofore given their chief attention to fruit growing. The extra money for the loganberry yard will come in handy, in a hundred ways that will suggest themselves to the owner of land, whether in a large or small way. More acres of loganberries, and more loganberries to the acre, should be the slogan, and it cannot be repeated too often now, nor can it be followed in practice too generally. There is no danger of an overproduction. The only danger is an under production. Raise more loganberries. More acres of loganberries, an 1 more loganberries to the acre. That's the stuff. The further Germany gets Into Russia, the more troubles she piles uWor herself. If the country is to be fed on horse meat, all right; but a friend of the writer's hopes to be spared the Mis souri mule. It must be admitted taht the em peror of Japan is playing his cards pretty close to his chest. Exchange, lie is that kind of a player, and he Is n6f a poor player, either. . It Is announced that shipbuilding will go on after the war. That means that the rehabilitation of the once great American merchant ma rine is a strong probability. So mote it bo, as the cld-fashioned man used to say. That rain added another hundred million dollars to the assets, of south, em California. We will need every dollar of It before the close of the awful war. Los Angeles Tlmei. Oregon could loan you another hun dred million dollars' worth of ra'n, and n6t miss it. Thousands of young Jews hare entered the army and it is estimated that one-fourth of the soldiers at Camp Upton are of that race. There Is no bragging, but an earnest, one may say solemn, resolve to do the work that they are called upon to do, and do it well. According to a report from th-a New York Cotton Exchange, cotton recently advanced $3.50 a ba'e fol lowing the statement of Chairman Claude Kitchin of the congressional committee on ways and means that congress would not stand for gov ernment price-fixing of raw cotton. Dixie rests easy on her royal bed. Her senescals are on guard. Hut they fix prices for the north and west just the same. A MOCK HKPOILIC. Germany is sponsor for what is to te the latest thing In democratic governments, the "republic of; the Ukraine." Recent cables remove all doubt concerning its parentage; hl. tory has again demonstrated that Anarchy Is the child of Despotism. The following dispatch from Odessa indicates what we may expect from the new so-called republic of the Ukraine: j - "On January 28 a mob of twenty j thousand unemployed held street ineetings and adop ted resolutions directing the bankers to pay ten million ru bles to the Central Committee of the unemployed, menacing the bankers with confiscation of all Lank fund in case of a Statesman AHMMIATKD IMIKHH . , . , Manager Managing Editor Cashier ..Advertising Manager . . . .ManaKer Job Dept. Oregon, as second class matter. AND MORE TO THE ACRE refusal. The bankers offered to. turn over two and one-half millions, but the unemployed persisted in their threatening attitude, and the bankers were forced to submit." It is not of such material that re publics are formed or stable govern ments constituted. The syndicalist method employed reveals the real nature of the Ukraine. In the first Instance, WHOSE MONEY WAS IT that the Ukrainian I. W. W.'s con fiscated? It was not solely the funds of the rich, but a sum withdrawn from the regular deposits of the rifled banks. The f ones to suffer are the great mass of depositors, those who had Joined frugality to Industry; the workmen, little shop keepers and "the women unfortunate enough to have placed on deposit the widow's mite. The Ukrainian idea of justice re ceives its first exemplification In robbing the industrious to rewaru the indolent. Syndicalists would have us believe that this proceeding pictures the dawn of liberty among the masses; but we who have before us the picture of mob rule In Mexico know that it is a sunset. No people can serve two masters. When li cense appears liberty retires. The Ukraine offers no encouragement for thrift, industry and frugality; r.Dd without these no government can endure. Conceived in infamy, it las sprung up like a mushroom in fetid soil and is destined to fade as soon. LICENSE AND PILLAGK had no part in the formation of the Ameri can republic. We are prone to for get that its three component parts, were liberty, equality and Integrity;; that without integrity it could not have endured. In the wild excesses of the French Revolution there was no looting of banks and who'esate Tillage. A writer in the Los Angeles Times says the Ukraine is another Mexico, with the Villa forces In su preme control. Whenever property is confiscated Industry ceases. Un der such a reign of lawlessness the factories are burned or stand idle and the fields are untitled. The wil derness is again king in the Ukraine as surely as in the days of which, Slenkewicz wrote in hid celebrated romances. High hopes have been he'.d out to the starving civil populations of Germany and Austria that they are to receive vast stores cf foodstuff Ironi the Ukraine. Hut we who aro familiar with conditions In Mexico, where there has been a like absence of government, know how futile those hopes will prove. There will be no more seed time and harvest there until the sower 1 assured that he will be able to reap. Confisca tion In' contagious; where pillage is unrestrained the Individuals flee or turn bandits. There is no middle road. Ukraine means border. The coun try was a rendezvous for centuries of outlaw gangs and criminals who had escaped the authorities. In modern times this banditry was held in sub jugation by the iron rule of the czars, and tho Ukraine became a great agricultural state. Hut law lessness has again gained the ascen dency. The tribal instincts have been reborn and th Ukraine, Is rap idly Jihint-Ki atinn into a "No Man'i l.and." To g.iln'an Idea of what liKlt MANV IS fl.lKKLY TO ACCOMP LISH by Kln Into the Ukraine for provisions,' Imagine what success would attend a foraging expedition by tb- United States froop.4 into Mex Ico. When one sees the Germans t dined to this forlorn hope one teg!n.4 to realize the desperate straits t. which the) ate driven. There have been many wild schemes proposal for ralslngi' and equipping our L!b- i rty army; but no one has yet 'come forward with the suggestion that we could supply It with food by sending n expeditionary force into Mexico. We know that it would be necessary for the troops to carry their ..wn provisions with them, and that the amount of available supplies in this country would be diminished. Yet conditions In the Ukraine are shown to be even WORSE THAN IN MEXICO. The territory is not more fertile than that south of the Texan and California borders. As In Mex ico, the workers have all left the fields; none remain to plant and none to harvest. IDLE ACRES FILL NO STOMACHS, as the German an 1 Austrian population will soon learn to their sorrow. The rrioek republic established through German Influ ence in the Ukraine Is already be coming ft menace to the security of the central powers. A nation of bandits is as dangerous as an armed foe. The final disposition of the Ukraine territory no one can fora see; International conditions are too chaotic for one to form ev?n so much as a conjecture. Hut one fact seems clearly established? for , the present the Ukraine provinces ari not a granary but a wilderness, and the Ukraine "republic" is a myth.

We always thought It was worms. Exchange. W It looks as If the suspender was coming back as a result of the war. Physicians claim that the belt is harmful, because It constricts the body, thereby promoting appendici tis, stomach trouble and other ail ments. President Wilson has said that he did not want any more Mrs. Bixbys who gave five sons to the War of the Rebellion. Official word from Washington should give permission to draft boards to exempt those re maining when two sons have been called to the colors. Exchange.

Willamette News Dean Alden of Willamette univer sity returned Sunday from Albanv. where he delivered a lecture Fri day night on -Historical Lies" at the Albany library. The following article appeared in the Albany Herald Saturday: "A lecture marked by its histori cal knowledge and its scholarly pre paration was delivered to a fair-siz ed audience at the public library last night by Dr. Ajlden. acting presi dent of Willamette university at Sa lem. Dr. Atden's paper on the sub ject of 'Historical Lies." tended f separate fiction from history and accomplish an explosion of many -d the pet stories of childhood and UK fictitious beliefs of the age. "Dr. Alden asked that the rea 1 Ing public not base Its conclusion? of history upon works of fiction and cited such yarns as that of W.l Ham Tell and the apple as an exam, pie. n interesting discussion aV the subject concluded the lecture hour which was one of the regular semi-weekly gatherings planned iy the library extension service."

Mr. Darden will giv Use Coacoanut Oil For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be carerul what ou wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoo? contain too much alkali.

BROWN EXPLAINS NAME ROTATION How Names Appear on Ballot Told for Lakeview Coun ty Clerk ; The ballot rotation law is ex plained In an opinion written, by At torney General Urown at the request if T. S. McKlnney. district attorney for Lake county. Mr. McKlnney en closes a letter from MUs MyrtV Payne, county clerk. In which she isks ar. opinion. The rotation law applies only to nrlmary elections and H operative if two or more persons are candi dates for the same nomination. The 'etter from Miss Payne, however, re fers to a hypothetical case in which three . candidates appear and after quoting the statute, chapter 13S. oage 177. laws of 1917, Attorney General Itrown says: "If there are three candidates for nomination for a given office, the whole number of ballots is to be di vided into three approximately equal narts. so that the name of each can didate will appear at the head of the 'ist an approximately equal number of times, but no change Is made in made in the list of candidates for hat office upon the ballot in any riven precinct. Therefore, suppos 'ng the average number of voters in each precinct are approximately quaj and that there are eighteen reclncts as stated in the county ierk's letter, each candidate's name would appear at the head of the list in six of the precincts, or. if there ire some precincts containing a unall number of voters and others ontalnine a large number the re sult would be that the same form would appear In a larger number of the precincts including those con taining a smaller number of electors, while the other forms would appear in a smaller number of precincts, in cluding those containing a larger number of electors, but, at all events there would be but three rotations or changes in the form of ballot, and no rotation or change in the form of ballot used in any one precinct." Dallas High School Team Beats Astoria, Big Score DALLAS. Ore., March 11.-(Special to The States.) In one of the finest exhibtions of teamwork ever seen at a basketball game in this city the Astoria high school team went down to defervt Saturday night in the armory at the hands of the Dal las cadets by a score of 50 to 10 The Dallas team played in fine shape from the beginning of the game until its close and at no time were the visitors In the lead. The Astoria team has been turning the state in an en deavor to secure the high schocl championship and has been defeating Our.

Mass Meeting of Men Is Called at Armory Tonight At a mass meeting for men at ihe armory tonight the German menace to the Pacific, coast which wis dis cussed last night by . Colonel John Leader will be under general discus sion, and it is expected that as a result of the meeting tonight one or more additional home guard com panies for Salem will be organized. The meeting is to be held under the auspices of Company D, Salem home guards. Authority for additional companies has been granted by Act ing Adjutant General J. M. Will iams, and similar action concert ed all over the state. The new com panies will be primarily for the de fense of Salem in case of necessity. Few Candidates Have Filed Declarations Compared with 1916 the present political campaign for state and dis trict offices is .remarkable for iti lack of activity. Figures on the rec ord kept by Sam A. Kozer, chief deputy secretary of state, show that two years ago up to and including March 9, 104 Republicans and twen teigbt Democrats had filed declara tions of their candidacy for the sev eral state and district offices. For the corresponding period this year the records show that declarations have been filed by fourteen Repub licans and only one Democrat. The last, date on which declara tions of candidacy can be filed with the secretary of state is April 12, Just one month away. Since Oregon has about ninety-six state and dis trict offices -to be filled by electloi this year, there rau" necessarily b a "speeding up" in the filings at the secretary of state's office Inthe next month. Assuming that there will be competition for most of the nom inations, doubtless a torrent of them will be pouring into the secretary's office in a few days. . mmm i !

Kubll, of Portland, Is elected to the legislature aga n ths year he will be a, candidate for speaker of the house. Mr. Kub'.l will be a candidate for the lower house, and the information that, if, elected, he will seek the speakership has reached Salem directly from Mr. Kubli. Little has been said thun far In the campaign relative to possible candidates for the speaker s chair. Seymour Jones of Marion count, however, will be an opponent of Mr. Kubll, if both men are fortunate enough to be sent back to the legis lature by the voters this year. M. Jones is expected to file hit declara tion of candidacy about the mlddia of this month and to accompany it with an announcement of his candi dacy for the speakership. The only other man wha has leen mentioned In Salem as a possible, aspirant for the place is L. K. Ilean of Kugcne, but Mr. Dean just now Is the subject of considerable specu lation. The report re.ichea here that Mr. Dean may be looking la p not her direction than toward the legislature, and whether or not this ib the short term for United States senator is conjectural. Several months ago MrT5ean is i;aid to have told friends that he did not think he would attempt to land the speak rrship, but more recent Indication ore that be may have changed his mind.
