The borer pierces thatafk oj( the tree about a fooj JrQm...the tifise but has been known to rise as high as the first branches. It gird les the tree and thus destroys it. On the Monmouth Orchards they are going for the borer with a mixture of poisons' camouflaged with white Wash applied as whitewash is ap plied . W.J. Stockholm Bays if this djts not prove effective he does not Julow of anything that will. .- a With each drive the territory.oc cupied by the Germans is enlarged, but each addition is paid for exces sively with soldiers. Each addition means larger territory to occupy grid fewer men with which to de fied it. Like the snake which swallowed the porcupine? the Ger roan leaders have but, onjf course to pursue and that jii; to keep the w'Bole works engaged'irt.the process of swallowing. They canXlet, go ani they can't stop. The . question is: "When will the limit of theirca pacu'ty to swallow be reached? and are" they big enough to swallow . the, mouthful they have taken1? from a perfunctory survey of the horizon the move to suspend the op- large publishers would have made more headway in their efforts to get the law repealed If they had candidly told the whole truth. ' The fact that the zone rate applies to the advertising portion only has been kept carefully in the back ground and when this is discovered, the fact, thai it has been discreetly veiled reacts against them. The truth told in its plainness would have left nothing to explain. Peo ple do not stop to consider that the reason they can buy a 'periodical for less than the cost of the paper in it, is due to the advertising it carries. The objectionable part of the zone law is that it discriminates on localities removed from the gfjit centers of thought and indus try.' It would have been all . right to tax, the advertising as heavily as possible but the uniform rate gov erning the country is one that tends to unity of thought and action in the nation and is a feature in our development that can not well be spared. If it were only possible to substi tute something for the stomach in the digestion of substitutes, ' the war would be a long picnic. There is a ride which the Auto section ef the Oregonian has not listed yet among the pleasant cir cuits of the valley; not however, because its1 special mention is not- deserved. This is a ride to ; the south of Monmouth which the ttefi aid people took recently on one of i our rare Junerday iMlu Mr, Mrs. A. H. Craven. It might have been called a "circuit of old towns"; Uueria Vista,. Air lie- and Lewisville ueingVasedjhrough .enroute, and all of which have apparently een more ambitious days. This route takes the traveller past the im mense hop-yards of the Wigrich company near which the golden Cal ifornia poppy grows by the roadside in such profusion at present that it may be gathered by the armful. A short distance beyond you1 may, as we. did, climb to the banks of the river and watch the broad Willam ette roll by. A little further on is a timber track where, .civilized, im provements still lag and the road has a suggestion of the pioneer ap pearance. ' BeyohdUd'ehaahd Suver you? come ' agairr4o" r&aett'' Which have been farmed for many years, the age conspicuous ; in the farm fences and old .orchards. Here the ferry vines are thick along the roadside and tall, daisies grow and as you stop to pick'them you hear the call of the killdeer, the robin and the blackbird, or a pair of quail run across the road and call "Bob-White" as they increase their distance from you. , They are con ducting extensive highway improve ments in the neighborhood of . Air lie, filling in the hollowsand cutting down the grades, very much jm prDving the roads. Beyond Airlie we paqse for a. moment . to j: watch two'' blue wild pigeons which have alighted to feed in a pasture by the road side. - A little beyond we pass the more or less famous Shady Lane picnic grounds. Between Lewis ville and Elkins we stopped for a short visit at a farm house on a hill where Fred Huber is putting to use the farming tricks he practiced in other days. Fred has so many grain fields. , that it takes more than the fingers of one hand to count them and just at present he is strong for the, rural life. In cohciudipg these random remarks we suggest that if you have never been over this particular circuit and are situated so you can, this is the time of year to take the trip. J. L. Phillip! of Portland is vis iting with his daughter, Mrs. W. Riddell, Jrt Who are Eligible Army men now in training are not eligible for the special work in tech nical and mechanical training to be conducted at the Oregon Agricultur al College and other Institutions un der contract to train U. S. soldiers. So many inquiries have come to Frank H. Shepherd, district super visor of the War Department com mittee on education . and special, training, from men now in the ser vice asking how they can get' trans ferred to the college training camps that He wired the War Department committee on Education and Special Training. In reply to the telegrim he has received the following wire from Washington, D.. C.: "Call just about to be issued through lo cal boards in Oregon, Washington and Wyoming for quotas of men for detachment about to . be formed at' various institutions. Men srjould be advised to await such call! d cal Boards will allow five or six days for volunteering before men . are drafted to fill quota. After this drafted men can be locally inducted only to fill vacancies caused by re jections of men so selected. No provision for enlisted men. Men desiring to be locally inducted to fill vacancies will apply to commanding officers of institutions who have nec essary instructions and forms includ ing induction order." . .
