JANUARY Bl. 1920 ! ths metric System. ' A skillful and sustained campaign is being carried on by the World Trade Club of San Francisco to ob tain the adoption by the . United States ' and Great Britain , of the metric system of weights and measures. A map issued by the club shows graphically how the metric system has spread over the worfd, the United States and Can- ada being, partly on a metric basis and Great Britain and Australia be ing on the way. In 34 nations they are the only legal units and in 21 they are recognited by law and used more than any other units. It cannot be denied that fn the war great confusion was created by the different standards of measure ment in use in France and the English speaking countries. Au thorities say that the delays caused by the lack of standarization length ened the war from "months" to two years. It is even asserted that Ger many counted on this as an aid in winning the war. Scientists agree that the change to the metric sys tem would be A remarkably fine thing for the whole world. All that the average person needs to know in order to use metric standards is meter-liter-giiam. . We can speak of .1 meter or. of 10,000 meters, just as we apeak' of $0.10 r. 110,000. . 1.111 is expressed at one dollar, one 10 cent, one cent, one mill. .1.111 is expressed as one meter, one deci-meter, one centi-meter, one . milll-nieter. . . J.lll. Is expressed as one litec onq deci-liter, one centi-liter, one mlJU-liter. 1.111 is expressed as one gram one deci-grerp, ope centi-gram, one miui-gram. Some day the change will be made. Rather striking evidence of the shortage of news print, of which we made mention-some weeks ago, comes from Klamath Falls in a re cent Issue of the Evening Herald, - the local daily occupying somewhat the position in that field that The . Bulletin has in Bend. The Issue referred to la reduced to half the usual size and, in addition, carries a notice stating that it is not unlikely that the paper will have, to change from a daily to three times a week because ot its inability to obtain paper. A forecast of increased ad vertising rates is also made, his is just what is happening all over the country. . Recent reports show that only 30 ot the Oregon soldiers who served In the war received the American distinguished service cross. As was to be expected, Portland with Its large number of soldiers shows the greatest number of crosses, 15 of the total having gone to Portland men. Safem is next with three and North Portland . and McMinnville have two each. . Bend is on the list with one, the recipient being E. A. Brandon. To be absolutely fair, though, the honor should go to Des chutes, that being Mr. Brandon's postoffice address. Daily Market Report Fern ! bee1 by arrangement with Uie Central Oreion Rank.) . .
