PIRATES' MANAGER
FACING BIG TEST
THURSDAY, MARCH S, 1917
ENGLAND GOES BACK
TO WOOD FOOTGEAR
Scarcity of leather Causes Revision
to Early History Cheaper
Type of Shoes.
(By United Press to the Bend Bulletin)
LONDON, Feb. 20. (By Mail.)
England, faced with an acute leather
shortage, is adopting wooden shoes,
commonly known in the Netherlands
as clogs.
This situation, which before the
war would have been hooted by John
Bull, today Is faced calmly. Meas
ures have been taken .looking toward
the development of the already es
tablished business of making clogs.
To quote the Textile Mercury, of
Manchester, on the subject:
Hundreds of London school chil
dren are now wearing clogs, which
cost about 3 shillings a pair (73
cents) and London County Council
school teachers have been providing
clogs for ill-shod pupils, who have
been paying for them by weekly in
atallments of 3 pence.
The price of leather, states a writ
er in the paper mentioned, suggests
that the city man ot the future will
clatter to business in his clogs. "For
country wear one can buy an elegant
pair of lace-iip clogs at a quarter the
price of equally efficient boots." And
part from the attention they would
attract, there is no reason why these
should not be worn in town. There
is nothing Undignified in the clog
worn by the Lancashire or Yorkshire
textile worker. Not a few of the
captains of the textile industry have
themselves worn clogs, and some at
least would not be ashamed to wear
them again.
The present home demand is so
great that an order for 100,000 pairs
of boots for the Belgian government
has just had to be declined by a
British clog-making firm.
RELEASE CHAMPION
OF BIRTH CONTROL
Mrs. Margaret Sanger, After Impris
' onment, Has Gained Knowledge
of Prison Conditions.
(By United Press to the Bend Bulletin)
NEW YORK, March 8. Having
served the 30 days to which she was
sentenced for disseminating birth
control Information in New York
City, Mrs. Margaret Sanger, national
leader of the birth control move
ment, was released today.
Mrs. Sanger, unlike her sister, Mrs.
Ethel Byrne, did not hunger strike
in the prison at Balckwell's Island.
She served her time quietly and made
the best of her opportunity to study
prison conditions.
'"I have gathered a great deal of
material which I shall use In my fu
ture writings," said Mrs. Sanger to
day, "but I did not break any of the
prison rules not attempt to do any
thing out of the ordinary that would
make me trouble.
"I was sent to prison unjustly, but
many persons havehad the same
thing happen to theST I shall con
tinue my birth control propaganda
work Just the same as I was doing
it before my arrest."
Jimmy Callahan, Willi Hrand New
Team, Una Hot lor Chances Than
at Start of lMt Heamm.
(By United Press to the Bend Bulletin)
PITTSBURGH, March 8. Jimmy
Callahan, former manager of the
White Sox, goes into the National
league race this year for the supremo
test ot his career as a manager of
major league baseball clubs.
At the helm of the Pirates, with
a brand new baseball club of his own
selection, he must live or die by his
own efforts as a structural pilot.
There is scarcely a member ot the
club as it was when Fred Clarke
made good his threat to becomo a
farmer.
It isn't even certain that Hans
Wagner will be present to hold down
first base. It that is the case, then
Callahan will have to figure all over
again for a guardian at that station,
for Wheeler Johnston has departed
for the minors. At second base he
seeius to have dug up a real star In
young farmer.
Shortstop promises to give Calla
han some worry, for he has dlsponsed
with young Jimmy Smith, and Wag
ner doubtless will not attempt to play
in that position. He still has an ex
cellent infioldcr in Douglas Balrd
and this youth may be couverted into
a shortstop.
arner seems to have cinched a
job at third base. Balrd, one of the
flashiest youngsters who has visited
the National league for many a day,
originally cavorted at this corner,
but he was superceded when Warner
began to show what he could do.
The outfield doubtless will be com
posed of Hlnchman, Carey and Big
bee, of whom the latter has shown
promise of living up to the wonder
ful advance notices sent out for him.
He is a hitter ot class, a smart base
runner, and Is a fast, sure fielder.
He will make a great running mate
for Carey.
Callahan's pitching staff, some
thing Callahan always has been able
to have around, shows lots of class,
with Mammuv ready to uphold the
heaviest burden. Plenty of young
sters will be given thorough trials
at the Hot Springs training ground.
Jacobs has shown class, as has Ev
ans. And there Is Cooper to help
out. .
Wagner probably will be the first
string catcher.
Callahan's chances look very much
brighter than a year ago.

"DESCHUTES RANGER"
MAKES APPEARANCE
Forest Publication Will Be Issued
Monthly Hereafter, Says Super
visor W. G. Hastings.
After a period of rest lasting for
more than six months, "The Des
chutes Ranger," official publication
summarizing the activities of gov
ernment employes on the Deschutes
National forest, made Its appearance
this morning. Supervisor W. O. Hast
ings stated that hereafter, the "Rang
er" would be issued regularly each
month. ,
The magazine, as a cover design,
hag a photograph showing an auto
mobile being used to yard bridge tim
bers close to one of the streams with
in the forest boundaries. Articles
on .forest, policy, supervision, range
improvement, administrative activ
ities, fire prevention, and range prob
lems rank chief in interest in the
contents of the publication. .
Further offers of assistance which
Insure success of the potato contest
inaugurated . by Montelle Coe have
been received by Mr. Coe since an
nouncement of the contest In The
Bulletin last week. Following is a
further discussion of the purposes
of the contest and of the benefits to
be derived from modern potato grow
ing methods in this section, prepared
by Mr. Coe.
By .Montelle G. Coe.
The purposes of the "Bend Bus
iness Men's Better Potato" contest
is not primarily more acres of pota
toes. We would not advise anyone
without experience to plant the crop
extensively on the start. The aim
rather than more acres, is more
potatoes, and better potatoes to the
acre, with a consequent lower cost of
production per bushel, greater profit
to the farmer and more prosperity
to the community.
The stockman invariably keeps his
prize heifer for breeding stock, and
sells his scrubs for beet. The potato
grower often sells his fancy potatoes
and plants the culls. The result is
most every old kind of potatoes. This
year anyone can sell any kind of po
tatoes. But, without doubt, next
season, or at least In the very near
future, prices will be different, and
those sections which produce a uni
form potato of the highest quality
will suffer the leaBt depreciation In
values. Potatoes from Maine of the
same variety as thoso from Wiscon
sin sell for a higher price In the same
markets, because they are graded
and handled more carefully. While
Long Island potatoes sell at a. prem
ium, even over those from Maine, be
cause they are still more uniform.
and are graded to a higher standard.
In view of these facts It Is time
to wake up, get together and have
a product that will not be a drug on
the market In a season of low prices,
but one that because of a well earned
reputation for quality will sell any
where any time. By persistence and
organized effort Deschutes Valley
potatoes will be made as famous as
Hood River apples, and will be re
nowned as strong disease free seed 1
stock, as well as for fancy table pur
poses. Here are facts to show that the
above statement Is not an Idle boast
Cars of graded potatoes, shipped this
year by the Deschutes Valloy Potato
Growers' association, have in every
Instance commanded a higher prlco
than the highest market quotations
at the time of tholr sale. The first
car sold In October for $1.50 per
100 pounds, when the top of tho mar
ket for extra fancy was $1.25. At
other times our potatoes sold at a
premium of 60 cents per 100 pounds,
and at no time did a car bring less
than 26 cents per hundred more than
the highest quotations for extra
fancy at tho time of sale. An old
established association at Crcswoll,
Oregon, could not obtain the same
price in the San Francisco and Stock
ton market. More ovidonce ot qual
ity is as follows: In cooking tests
at Corvallls, In competition with sam
ples from all over Oregon and several
samples from other states, potatoes
from Central Oregon baked tho best
and boiled the best with the jackets
on, or the Jackets off, and were fin
est of all in flavor and texture.
Besides producing a potato of fine
quality, this section Is favored with
other advantages. There Is practic
ally no blight or rot, no Colorado
beetle or flea beetle. No spraying Is
required to hold In check Insect ene
mies, or to protect the vines from
fungus diseases. Both climate and
soil are especially adapted to pro
ducing the potato at Its best. Com
prehensive experiments In Franco
showed that seed from the higher
altitudes gavo consistently IiIkIkt
yields. The same thing has been
noted In Colorado.
Our timber, because of Its vast ex
tent, Is a great resource. One claim
of 160 acres with 100,000 feet of
standing timber at $2.60 per 1000
feet Is worth $15.02V4 per acre, and I
anotner crop will mature In 160
years. What Is the cash return from
an average affre of potatoes grown on
tne same ground, ono-fourth of the
tlmo In 160 years? One county
(AroosiooK) in Maine, shlpB annual
lyl 8,000,000 bushels, of 30,000
cars of potatoes, besides having some
CO odd starch factories for utilising
waste and Inferior potatoes. Let us
hastau the day when exports of po
tatoes from Deschutes county will
bo next to our timber exports In Im
portance. By Riving prlies to Induce hill se
lection ot heavy yielding, high quality
potatoes, a long start has been made
In the proper direction. These hills
used for seed tho next year, will In
one season Increase tho yield and
value of the crop many times the
amount of tho prizes. Tho detailed
reports it Is planned to require of
contestants as to thnlr methods, ex
penses and results, will bo of In es
timable valuo to guide futuro opera
tions under our peculiar conditions.
Finally the concrete results of Ilia
contest will bo such In quantity and
quality, that "Deschutes Valley Po
tatoes" will be widely advertised, and
future markets moro easily secured.
It is planned to give weekly,
through the papers, for tho benefit
of tho contestants, results obtained
at tho various experiment stations,
bearing upon tho different phases of
potato growing. It la expected by
next week to havo all completed de
tails of tho contest ready for publi
cation. '
