Action In liiipotmiit. Tho mere announcement of this pontponemetit doen not convey to the general public tho Importance of tho action. In the flnit place, tho public mile of thin lurgu amount of govern ill i ii t wool at thin time, when the clip for 1020 In mill owned by tho producer, and tho 1921 clip I Junt being made, would renult in a very low price being offered for tho gov eminent wool, mid, if Hold, would be at n large financial sacrifice to tho government. In the Hccond plucn, the mile of thin wool, or even of ItA of fer for mile, would demoralize the market und lead to further dlHtress- Ing' financial conditions of tho ul ready distressed wool grower. Thin poHtponemeiit will probably renult In stabilizing the wool market anil later realize n much bettor price for tho government owned wool.

ENGINEER W NO CAUSE HERE FOR PESSIMISM IS EMPHASIZED RUMORS ATTACKED BY CLUB SPEAKERS SCHOOLS IMPORTANT HUlCent Industry. Declare Carl A. JobnHon Change In Mental At' tlfude HeponHlble For Keeling of' Deprrnnion, I Claimed. The need for a determined fight agalnsl the forces of unrest, some of a nature distinctly against the basic doctrine of Americanism, was urged this noon at the weekly meet ing of the Bend Commercial club. DiHcussion was begun by S. W. Moore, chairman of the committee on. American Ideals, with the declara tion that rumor afloat In Bend are showing that unrest is becoming a local menace. He urged the need of counter-education" and the develop ment of the type of patriotism which will set aside consideration of dol lars and cents for a consideration of the welfare of the nation. "This may sound like a dream, but the dreamer is the man of the hour," he pointed out. J. A. Eastes recalled that Beud has been "going in high" for the last 11 years, that a slight lull ia only nat ural and emphasized . that rumor tending to encourage a feeling of pessimism, now going about, are to be discouraged. No CouM for Pessimism. As a matter of fact, there is no cause for pessimism, Carl A. Johnson showed. Touching briefly on Bend's chief Industry, the mills, he men tioned the annual payroll of approxi mately $1,000,000, and showed that the chief difference which has come into being in economic conditions is the "hold off" psychology which has replaced the war psychology of spending. Industrially Bend is four times better off now than In 1915, he showed. Mr. Johnson asserted that Bend and the Bend Commercial club is neglecting the city's biggest indus try its schools. "Altogether too little attention Is being paid to the school system and the school needs," he said, emhpasizing that through the schools, the problems confront ing America today can be largely eliminated in the next generation. ' KmploycN Optimistic. Even during the lessened activities of the past three months, the Shev-lin-Hixon payroll has reached $160, 700, and that of the Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Co. $121,000, A. Whisnant declared. Claude Smith stated that, on trips to the logging camps, he had found woods employes optimistic and confident that any wage reduc tions would be compensated for by lessened living costs. E. f. Mahaffey told of the Elks' Big Brotherhood, the organization of the "Junior republic," and the turn ing over of the lodge hall to the boys two nights each month, as a part of tho campaign adopted by the order to aid lu training the boys of the community to become useful, law-abiding citizens. The big problem is birth control, if the drift toward degeneracy is to be stopped, declared Dr. Owens Adair, champion of eugenics legisla tion, who is making her headquar ters in Bend this month. "We have the problem of managing the pervert nnd tho degenerate," she said. Discussion of the irrigation ques tion took up the early part of the meeting. H. H. De Armond moved that the manner in which the $400, 000 appropriation for the Benluim falls project is t,o be expended be as certained, and thiu. r.s well ns the motion by A. Whisnant for a tele gram of thanks to Oregon congress men for securing passage of the measure containing the appropria tion, .was carried.

BRITAIN HAS PLAN TO GEI 1 SEIZURE BILL WILL BE INTRODUCED CUSTOMS TAX FUTILE Fifty IVr Cent of Exports Will Bo Taken If Mcanure Contemplated ramies Parliament More Exten sive Invasion I'rgcd by French By Ed h. Kern. (United PreM SUM Correspondent.) LONDON, March 9. Means which the allies will take to extract reqalr4 reparations from Germany were re vealed today by Andrew Bonar Law, government leader in the house at commons. Bonar Law announced that a bill will be Introduced short ly providing for seizure of 50 per cent of the value of Oerman exports. He stated that immediate passage of the bill will be urged, since trad with Germany is suspended for the time being. With the first anger against the dilatory tactics of the German dele gation subsiding, the insistent ques tion has arisen a to how allied oc cupation of additional territory ia to compel payment of the German indemnity. It is generally believed that the proposed customs tax win yield only a comparatively small amount of money. It is pointed ont that, while the Rhine district is suf ficiently well guarded to prevent cus toms running, there is no guard at German seaports. Necessity for seizing these ports is urged upon some government offi cials. Military and naval activity will be expensive, possibly consum ing a great share of the money gained through the customs. From French sources It is learned that even more extensive invasion of Germany is urged in the hope that Germany at least will agree to pay something like the great sum de manded by the allies. SHOWS METHOD OF GOPHER POISONING Expert In Employ ol Government Finds Sweet Potato Unit and Taste less Strychnine Most Effective. By condemning compact tracts of land, as high as 85 and even 90 per cent, results may be attained la poisoning pocket gophers, according to E. E. Horn, representative of the U. S. geological survey, who has beea spending the last few days In Central Oregon showing the farmers the best ways of ridding the land of destruc tive rodent pests. A sweet potato bait, with a tasteless strychnine re cently developed, is found to yield a 20 per cent higher kill than any other combination, Mr. Horn states, although he also recommends the bait of oats covered with a starch so lution in which strychnine in Its alkaloid form has been suspended. The poisoning campaign was worked out with most excellent re sults in Malheur county last year, the farmers of five communities com bining to condemn 20,000 acres. It cost on an average of 10 or 11 cents an acre to poison the gopher run ways, and with an original infesta tion of some 15 rodents to tho acre, the cost of killing was slightly leas than ono cent each, Mr. Horn started. The hardest thing to learu lu gopher poisoning is to locate Uio main runway, in which tho Btrych-nlne-lmpregtiuted bult is placed. In sago rat poisoning, tho bait Is scat tered on tho surface of tho ground. GRAND DUKE LEADS ARMIES IN SIBERIA (Br United Prem to The Bend Bulletin.) ZURICH, March 9.
