" Until more complete details are forthcoming It is difficult to under stand just what the Russian revolu tion meanB. Coming when the na tion is engaged in a tremendous war its possibilities are enormous and both the Central Powers and the re mainder of the Allies must be anxiously waiting to know whether the result will be favorable to one side or the other. So far as the reports show, the revolution is not against the govern ment as the representative of the crown. Czar Nicholas has abdicated, but a regency has been established Nominally, as in the case of Great Britain, a royal family is to be at the head of the nation. In other words, the revolution is not directed against the throne, as was the case in Por tugal and in China, but against the way the power was exercised by the Czar through his ministers. Apparently the conduct of the war is the immediate cause of the change, and except tor the more violent meth of the putting it into effect the change may be likened to that by which Lloyd-George became prime minister of Britain a few weeks ago. That violence was necessary indi cates the difference between the gov ernment of the two nations in the past. With the people gaining more power, the differences will become Jess and less and finally a democracy will emerge. JiAND BOARD WILL " I NAME COMMISSION (Oregonian.) SALEM, March 15.

This one feature will govern largely the reputation of any country. CERTIFIED SEED By R. A. Blanchord. Oregon has had a poor reputation for potatoes. A conglomerate num ber of tubers are offered each year to the market. The seed used often being culls, of poor vitality, low grade and "run out" while this con dition does not obtain locally it is true on the average. Very often what seed is grown for sale is of doubtful origin, or uncertain type and guar anteed only by the personal word of the farmer. It seems then that system, of state wide importance, whereby potato seed could be stand ardized and graded to definite spec ifications would be highly desirable. Such a plan has been worked ou by the, seed certification board of the college. It provides a uniform stand ard of perfection tor all seed potato growers to reach before they are ac credited on a list of growers pro ducing certified seed in Oregon. The advantage of this to both the produc er and the party purchasing the seed is apparent. , Deschutes valley already has an excellent reputation for quality po tatoes. To maintain that reputation the most diligent effort must be put forth. We have a future in the seed potSto business.. Seed potatoes al AT THE HOTELS The Wright Hotel. B. R. Carlson, Spokane.

"But ton, button, who's got the button?" has ceased to be a thrilling Interro gation. It must needs be relegated to Its proper place among Goldberg's Foolish Questions. The answer is so painfully and unanimously obvious: Everybody's got it. Not one measly, lonesome, little button either; not even "one, two, button my shoe," but three, tour and then heaps more. There's a perfect epidemic ot but tons. Like the measles or a spring rash. Every coat, suit, frock, blouse, cape and sweater is rashly broken out with them. No one has an eye for a hook any more. We aro all just looking to button's as a means ot fastening on fashion. , The long, straight lines'-of the present popular cout gowns ami che mise frocks aro Juat plo for buttons. They are buttoned up ono slilu and down the other. Somo aro putting their best buttons forward and others turning their backs on them, use them nevertheless to back thorn up. The long, tight sleeves are often trimmed In odd small buttons from the elbow to the wrist, while thoso that are widely cuffed have two or three large and unique buttons fast ening the cuff. Shawl collars, roll collars and Just any kind ot collars at all bristle with buttons. They flaunt them op enly and above board and not at all In the usual erstwhile retiring and effacing manner of good little old- fashioned and useful collar buttons. To be sure, collar buttons did used to be a bit hone-headed, but some of them were pearls among buttons and Indeed quite a few were even pure gold. Anyway, they knew their places and performed a mission In life and a neckband, whereas these present day collar buttons wander all over tho place and tho only thing that Is really attached to them Is fnshlonable Importance. Then there are pockets as another great breeding place for buttons. Pos itively the pockets aro all so full of buttons that you haven't any place any more to pocket your prldo.
