PLANT LOGANBEEEIES ON VACANT LOTS
A Salem man expects to pick this season about six tons of logan
berries from his vines on a small plat of ground around his city
residence. . , .
HIS Vines cover uuuui me iiuinuci wi wuojc iv-i in i
city lots in his part of Salem.
These six tons of loganberries will sell for a very tidy sum ot
money; cash that will come in very handy to piece out the family
income.
And the service to the community will be considerable.
. These six tons of loganberries will help to supply thelever widen
ing market for loganberry juiee and for loganberries put on the mar
kets in other ways. They will do their bit towards building up an
industry that has already made Salem's name known familiarly far
and wide ; an industry that, with the proper encouragement from the
growers, will become the greatest of all industries centered in Salem ;
that is now bringing in millions of dollars of outside money to be ex
pended in this territory, and that will grow with leaps and bounds,
if all who ought to be interested will work together; will do team
work.
Why should not many other city residents plant loganberries on
vacant city Jotsf Alnd do it now; this spring; in the next twenty-five
to thirty days? Why not f
The fact is, many will. And many more ought to.
' A thousand farmers in the vicinity of Salem are being asked- in
the same time, to plant one to three or four acres or more each and
many are responding. . They are talking more acres' of loganberries,
and more loganberries to the acre. '
' The loganberry is both a food and a drink.
It is an icjng, a coloring, a flavor; the best raw product of ice
cream. It is a? war food, for the camps and cantonments and. naval
vessels. : j "
It is patriotic to raise more loganberries ; it is good business ; it is
loyalty to home industries.
It is the thing to do, now plant more loganberries.

will put added burdens upon the rural route carriers of the country.
Raise loganberries on city lots.
Any way, raise something on va
cant city lots;
A neighboring paragrapher com
plains: "If things keep on it will
boon be necessary for a newspaper
paragrapher to carry a license."
You do not have to make It fifty
fift: if you prefer the substitutes
for -white wheat flour. You can
make it all substitutes.
Forty millions of Japanese substi
tute rice flour and beans in various
ways for white wheat flour. And
the Japanese are a virile race of
people.
The greatest trouble is going to
te to hold1 the Sammies back, on the
western front, till everything is fully
Teady for big drives.
With Russia dismembered and
"broken into fragments the United
States is now the most populous
civilized country on the globe. A
chesty neighboring paragrapher
adds: "And every American U
worth about double his weight in the
people of any other country under
the sun.
The forty-seven different varieties
(47 count them 47) of revolu
tions in Russia was increased several
times yesterday. If she had time,
and no one were looking, Germany
might make something of Russia.
Bat she will not be given the (time,
and all the world is looking. Rus
tla will be a liability rather than an
asset to Germany, during the rest
of the war.
COXSCUIITIXG BRITISHERS.
In the army draft treaty between
the United States and Great Britain
signed several days ago your Uncle
Samuel got the best of John Bull.
Under the treaty the United States
may draft into military service Bri'
Ixh subjects in this country between
the ages of 20 and 45, while Great
Britain may draft American citi
zens living within its J urisd'ctlon be
tween the ages of 21 and 31. '
In twenty-four of the principal
cities of the United States there ara
1,800,482 residents who were bom
In Great Britain. More than half of
these reside in and about New York
City. San Franesco and Los An
geles together have but 49.490. The
principal cities of the east have
Statesman
. .... . . .... .
to an increase of twenty pounds
284,320. It is a safe estimate that
there is not one American of Ameri
can draft age residing in Great Brit
ain for every forty natives of Great
Britain of British draft age residing
in the United States.
But as those conscripted under the
new treaty, whether in England or
America, would fight in the same
war for the same cause, the only
real inequality is in the difference
in the age limit. An American over
31 years of age cannot be drafted,
but if he is an Englishman, an Irish
man, a Scotchman or a Welshman
born and is under 45 years of age
he may be conscripted unless he is
naturalized.
HOW SHALL WE MAKE GOOD?
"To make the world safe for de
mocracy." Such was the edict of
the! United States Congress on the
fateful 6th of April, an edict that
bhattered all preconceived conven
tions of self-interest nd baptized us
into a universal and more liberal
brotherhood.
Bound by this pledge, the Ameri
can commonwealth has taken up
arms against the proponents of mi!
itay might; under this banner the
strongest and gentlest of nations
has undertaken the Herculean task
cf ushering in a newer and better
civilization for mankind. In the hot
business of destroying the powers
that make for evil possibly we ara
in danger of overlooking provision
for the final agents that will make
Vor good.
Do the millions who have often
end easily repeated the famous
phrase on which Our president bassd
his war appeal, who have read it a
thousand times in newspapers ami
magazines, who have heard it vocif
erated amid tumultuous applause by
I latform orators; feel the religious
thrill of the text as expounded by
the leading lights of Christianity
do they as yet wholly realize the tre
mendous import' of these seven sim
ple words? Since the strongest an 4
gentlest of men gave for the guid
ance of all people a startlingly
strange and untried code of ethics
in ; the Sermon on the Mount, no
more ennobling of 1 more difficult
ideal has been set up as an inter
national standard than this to
make the world safe for democracy.
Europe has not as yet grasped
all that this connotes. To the old
er statesmen of England, France and
Italy, no less than to the military
clipue or Prussia and Austria, the
thought is as strange and startling
as the Sermon on the Mount was to
the Romans and Jews in the days
of the Redeemer. Has America even
grasped fully how solemn and seri
ous the pledge, how definite the ob
ligation, how fearful and far-reaching
the responsibility in the easily
usserted determination that we are
going to make the world safe for
democracy?
The first part of the programme is
plain and into its accomplishment
our loyal citizens are putting eveiy
ounce of energy they possess. Prus
sian militarism and the might of
mailed autocracy must be, shall be
and will be eradicated from this war
tortured planet. America will ac
cept no lesser climax to the present
horror. And after autocracy
what?
Let us make no mistake. De
struction alone is insufficient. To
destroy Prussian autocracy, to break
the power of the kaiser IN ITSELF
is NOT going (as a foregone con
clusion) to make the world safe for
democracy. It Is but the prelimi
nary step. Sane reconstruction must
follow, and for this reconstruction
what provisions are we making?
After we have crushed the rock
we have still to build the road. Who
knows what wild fresh forces will
be released when the autocratic
weight that kept the spring com
piessd has been removed? A strong,
straight blow may knock the spiked
helmet from the head of Prussian
tyranny; but careful and skilled fin
gers must peel away the red band
age over the festered sores that that
spiked helmet has been concealing.
Has the destruction of czardom in
the empire of the Slavs made Russia
safer for democracy? What, right
have we to suppose that on wiping
out the last remnant of military au
tocracy every country will at once
become safer for the same -brand of
democracy that we have slowly ac
quired, hesitatingly and with caution
after a century or more of free insti
tutions and liberal laws?
A triumphal conclusion of the war,
the object of which we have first
made clear to friend and foe alike,
vlll be the first grand justification
of the cause for which we are fight
ing. And, in the opinion of one of
the editorial writers of the Los An
geles Times, it will mark the begin
ning of the far more difficult task
of making our pledges bold. On our
educators, our preachers, our law
givers, our merchans, our labor lead
ers, our out-ln-the-open dlplofai
will devolve the attainment of this
higher purpose for which the sword
of ojur brave soldiers had first cf
all to carve a desperate way.
In the times of peace our people
didn't prepare for war, and through
this omission the loss and misery of
the gruelling conflict have been tra
gically prolonged. In the times of
war, then, shall we not get ready to
face the at present Inconceivable
problems that will confront us after
the war is over? This nation has set
out to make the world safe for de
mocracy; to abandon it to Bolshe
vlklsm or anarchy or ignorant so
cial parasites, to leave it at the mer
cy of false labor leaders picked from
the slums of European cities, to turn
an orderly, if dangerous, Prussian
tyranny into a disorderly and no less
dangerous Russian j chaos will be to,
lose the spiritual object for which
we have sacrificed fearlessly our ma
terial resources, to stultify the Ting
ing slogan with which we entered
the lists for humanity and at the
finish to leave the world no. safer
for democracy than we found it at
the start.

the gay laughter of childish voices
as game after game was played. At
4 o'clock the hostesses, Mrs. D. B.
Simpson and Mrs. C. E: Denhem,
called the guests to a table heaped
high with the goodies which delight
little folk. Before Master Garold
was placed a cake on which burned
seven candles, while before little
Miss Virginia, at the oppostie end
of the long table, gleamed eleven
candles.
The children enjoyed the lunch
eon heartily and then responded to
a call for after dinner speeches by
reciting some timely humorous se
lections. Little Martha Tlattermann
sang a solo, and her clear, sweet
treble voice gave much pleasure t
both guests and hostesses.

Sage Tea Darkens
Hair Jo Any Shade
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an
Old-tlm Recipe that Any
body can Apply.
The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, guy hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmoth
er's time. She used It to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and at
tractive. Whenever her hair took
on that dull, faded or streaked ap
pearance, this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy an l
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any ding store - for a bottle of
'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound." you get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi
tion of other ingredients,-which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply damp
en a sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your, hair,
taking one Btrand at a time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two. It
becomes beautiful dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful 'toilet requisite
for those who desire a roorer youth
ful appearance. It is not intended for
the cure , mitigatioft? or prevention
of disease. ,

The art of fascination and attrac

good health. Women twho drag
through long hours, daysjweeks and

expression of woe and misery. If

The howls of the Germans over re

It is all right, according to Ger

Attack Is Foiled
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE. Tuesday, March 12.
The American forces northwest of
Toul -carried out an Important raii
on the German lines Monday nlght.
The artillery preparation lasted
forty-five minutes and the Ameri
cans entered the German defenses as
far as the second line. They found
a number of German dead from shell
fire and some of those who were re
treating were shot down.
The, American pioneers, accompa
nying the Infantry blew up enemy
dugouts. No prisoners were- taken,
chiefly era use of the fact that the
Germans did not remain to fight,
but ran precipitately at the approach
of the Americans. All the Ameri
ins returned to their own lines
and considerable information was se
cured. The American artillery last night
completely 'obliterated "a German po
sition in which 200 gas projectors
had been set up ready for a gas at
tack. The projectors were discover
ed late yesterday In a photograph
taken from high in the air.
As soon ps they were definitely
located there was a great concentra
tion of- American artillery fire, and
the projectors and the entire posi
tion were destroyed. In the last g
attack upon American troops only
seventy-five projectors were used.
The new attack, therefore, had been
planned on a much more extensiv
scale. -
Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair
When you wash your hair, be care
ful what you use. Most soaps an3
prepared shampoos contain too
alkali, which la very injurious, as ft
dries the 6calp and makes the bair
brittle. ,
The best thing to uso is Just plai,n
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this 'f
pure and entirely greaseless. R'S
very cheap, and beats the most -pensire
soaps or anything else
to pieces. You can get thi at
drug store, and a few ounces will
last the whola family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with watef
and rub It in. about a tea?poonfI
Is all that is required. It makes m
abundance of rich, creamy lathe",
cleanses thoronghly. ' and rinses ouj
easily. The hair dries ouickly and
evenly, and its soft- fresh looking,
