Mountain or Pacific time. Wtoen It get! dark at night you niUHt not turn on the lights be cause it won't be time to turn 'etn on by an hour. You will soon be come accustomed to this and won't mind It, especially if you are visit ing your best girl during the hour which follows the last hour of day light. When you hear the chickens crowing at daylight in the morning it will be your duty, as a law-abiding citizen, to arise In your nighty, go to the coop and gently remon strate with the fowls. However, If said fowls refuse to comply with your request to cease their cackling; then it will be your duty to either wring their necks or call the ambu lance and have them taken to the sunrise court to answer to a charge of Interfering with the new time schedule. The beauty of the new statute is that it saves both daylight ana electricity and makes you get up earlier, which is good for you. That Is, of course but hang It. if ou can't see Into the thing with all Ibis explanation what's the use to argue with you?" fof .the counter-attack is natural, but its delay. should not cause pessimism. Time is needed for the concentration of troops, and vr may he sure that General Foch, who has a repu tation for exceptional energy, will not lose a moment. General Byng's drive aflCambrai waa a relatively small affair, yet it took the Merman over ten days to get ready for the counter-blow, which, whe it came, was very effective. The allies, unlike the Germans, WerJ not taken iy ! surprise, and no doubt could in a shorter time hav(f brought up reserves to meet an attack of the same magnitude. But while a surprise attack like Byng'a is ordinarily possible only with moderate ftyrces, a huge concentration such as the Germans had quite frankly made against the British lines has much the ef fect of a surprise, because till the attack has actually developed troops adequate to meet it cannot be put in place. Moreover, the huge scale of the affair makes the bringing up of forces' and the organization of the counter-offensive a slow process. But since, undoubtedly, reserves had to be picked up wherever they could be found, in many cases a long way off, and since the British had to wait for new material, guns -and- troops from England as well as for reorganizing after the shock of a long and fast retreat, it may well be some time yet before Foch has in hand the forces needed for whatever blow he means to strike. By that time the enemy may have struck again, as, for example, in Italy, where French and British troops are still engaged, but this is merely a corollary to the general fact that'for the present the allies arc on the defensive." The fact is unwelcome, but no cause for posing courage. Least of all, should we think'.that because the Germans hare gained ground, the allies have lost a battle; the real battle is still to come. iossi!jiijtij:h. Hundreds of people, both French and American, are reported to be leaving Paris on account of the bom bardment by the Germans. While there is no danger of Paris being taken by the Germans) there Is no doubt that the enemy is causing un rest among the Inhabitants of that fair city. German hatred and Ger man Ingenuity recognize no distance. The school children of the empire are taught that every human being who lives beyond the boundaries of Germany is an enemy to the Fatber- and. "After France comes Russia, then England, then the United States.'" Mr. Pacifist, how would you like to see your wife and chil dren fleeing from your home city for fear of death or, worse still, cap ture by German fiends? THE STOUT OF HEART f one dark hour in the revolution Washington wrote his brother that "the game is pretty near up But he was unshaken and the colonies never gave up. I ; There were times in the Civil rVar when the North was in gloom. But Lincoln's strong soul never wavered and the North rallied behind . Every great cause has it critical days and hours.. There are time that try men's souls. But the stout of heart carry the cause to victory. , , . The Mexican sore toe Is la evidence again. Oregon Is over the top; but she cannot get too far over. The Germans are geting their drive down towards Ypree again. ut' It looks like desperation. No ehftnee of breaking through there. i': "Yankee soldiers are now in the tSlck of the battle of battles.

Some of the soldiers may not care for pop, but they may be able to make use of the bottles In a close up smash on the Germans. , efficient, why shall we replace ex perience wjth Inexperience, or a tried and found true official for the un tried? Scio Tribune. Like Sir Roger Casement, the two German agents who were landed by submarine on the coast of Greece have been caught and executed. In the early days of the war the spy coming and going by U-boat was a familiar figure in sensational fiction. and very likely the thing has hap- pened oftener than we know. THE POPE'S PROTEST. Pope Benedict,; it Is said, has lodg ed a protest with Berlin against the wholesale massacre of Innocent peo ple and the destruction of churches in Paris. Ah, but the bombardment of Paris, and In fact all the bloody havoc which Germany has wrought. Is Itself a bold protest against clvlll ration and the very principles of hu manity, and religion. Had Germany fiven ear to the Naiarene and His followers. Instead of to the devil and his disciples, the war would nev er have begun. The Pennsylvania department of forestry has offered the French gov ernment 4,000,000 white pine seed lings from the state nurseries. The - work of replacing German mischief In the matter of trees is a great on, dome time there wilt be shipping cutflcient to carry Pennsylvania trees to France, but 1 probably not sow, But there r wilt j be gratitude across the water that such an offer has been made.

Says the Los Angeles Times: "Aie you one of those who cannot understand the daylight-saving plan? That's because you haven't really put In an honest minute studying the proposition. It's as plain as the nose on the kaiser's face. Yon see, It's like this: When you set your clock forward an hour on March 31 yon thereby converted 6 into 7, 7 Into 8 etc., thus fooling yourself into think Ing that it's an hour later than H l tally is, when, as a matter of fact It's the same time exactly If not little earlier. Whereas you used to jet up at 5 or 6 o'clock In the morn Ing you will from now on rise at or 5, as the case may be, which Is sixty minutes earlier than you for meriy got up, according to the chacge on the face of the clock.

AN IMPLEMENT ! MAN The big gest feature of the Implement bunl ness Just now Is the sale of tractors to farmers, and it Is a healthy sign for It means broad guage farming. Yes. It Is a fact that some farmers tell a hard luck story, and they are the hardets class to extract money from: but I notice that they are buy ing automobiles right along and some of them have bought big blocks of liberty bonds. I would be glad to change places with some of them. If I bad the value of my stock In land Just now, with the present prices of produce, I could make a lot more money than I have been during the past year. ' It Is a fact that my line of goods have advanced as high as 100 per cent In some Instances, and this means that the farmers are going to be slow about Investing. A PEDESTRIAN He had Just dodged a street car, an automobile and two bicycles at the same mo ment and he was nervous. "Say. don't they have any regulations In this town about automobiles turning around In the middle of the block?. I've seen a doxen drivers circle srotind on Stste street in the middle of a crowd of people and vehicles Just as If tiey were out on the prai rie. Other towns have an ordinance compelling all autos to drive to an Intersection and turn. Some day the Salem papers will have a story about pedestrians being run down In the middle of the .street and either killed or crippled for life see?" ANOTHER THICK OF THE HUN. Still another trick of the wily Inn has been uncovered. From Ime to time during the war stories have been told of rural' folk on both the eastern and western fronts beln awed by apparitions In the heaven. One of the most notable Instances of the kind occurred Just before the assault at Przemsyl, when-numberless visions occurred to the country people living around, who fell on their knees and worshipped the holy picture of the Virgin and Child. Apparatus found on some German airplanes captured recently on the western front goes to prove that the euperstltious country folk wera tricked and deceived by mere aerial photographs which they believed to come from a 'Divine source. The operation Is said to have been arrled out on low-lying clouds by means of a magic lantern ahowlng photographic slides as In relief. The outfit could be conveniently carried In an airplane and could show such pictures with a diameter of 185 feet at a distance of one thousand feet. r Picked Up On The jStreet RURAL LOAN AGENCY The ru ral credit system Is proving a god send to the farmers of this section At the time of our last appraisement our office showed a total of forty six loans aggregating about $160,- 000. Other applications are now In and pending to the amount of about 125,000.: The last report from Spokane showed a total for the northwest district of about $16,000,- 000 a much greater amount than could have been secured through or dlnary channels. As you know, we are loaning to the extent of 50 per cent of the land values and 20 per cent of Improvements, the limit to any individual being $10,000. One trouble that confronts ns Is that many farmers are basing their appll cations on the original cost of their property or upon what they consider Its Intrinsic value; whereas, the only safe basis we can recognise Is the Income produced upon It. Some farmers are Inclined to et ore scout toeing turned down, hut we have no other recourse. 8PAULDINO LOOOINO COM PAN t We are now employing about six ty-flve men about the local plant. and we are Handling from twenty five to thirty cars of rough lumber each week. A large proportion of this is going into government con tracts, while the balance Is made np for local trade and shipped to dealers on the outside. The government regulation which requires us to turn out one car of high class stuff for federal use for every two cars of or ainary custom work. Is going to work a great hardship upon lumber nanufacturers. as It compels us to stack up In our yards a mass of lde cut for which there Is no im mediate market or utility.
