Dl vera! flcat Ion In farming has been aijjffmmon text with agricultural ex ponentn during , the past tew years. And none has preached the doctrine with better effect ; than Farmer" Smith of the O.-W. R. & X. staff. Smith came to the west nearly a score of years ago, and for a time was with the Washington State col lege, but of late he has been demon strutting some truths about soil till age and crop production at the in stance of the railroad corporation by which he is now employed. This company knows that where Smith can get the people to growing two blades of grass or two ears of corn were possibly none had been growing be fore, that prosperity . will come tor the farmer and that prosperous farm ers make prosperous railroads. That's why Farmer" Smith Is a mighty im portant spoke In the O.-W. R. & N. Industrial wheel. "Farmer Smith came to the Rogue valley for the first time today. The very first evidence of the agricultural production of the district that the " raiiu'er saw STa load of corn being hauksfthrough .the street fey. a Mnrnhv tiller of thereof!, and he soon 8-Ttad a few-.ara of. th grafn In his hands and was expounding corn wis dom. If there is one thing that "Farmer Smith is a crank upon, in which he has absolute faith, it Is In the growing of corn. But that Is another chapter in the interesting story of "Farmer" Smith. We start ed out to give his views upon diversi fication. . ' 'There are a number, of ways of di versifying.". said .Smithi "There is the fellow who says that he diversi fied by 'growing a little of every thing, not much of anything, and not making on any of it Real diversity means a systematized diversity." And then the distinguished visitor saw samples of sugar beets in the win dow at Twohy Brothers office. "One of the most prosperous com munities that 1 know of is in central Michigan," continued "Farmer" Smith. "There they have a system atized diversification, but the only direct product of, the soil that they sell la the sugar beet. But they also sell beef and pork and eggs and cream. They have a system by which they rotate with grass crops and beets, and the clover and the grain la marketed as beef and pork and eggs and cream. They don't grow a 'llttleof everything,' but everything they grow Is grown tight, and grown with a system." Smith wants to impress upon his auditors that simply growing a whole lot of varieties of crops is not diver Bltv from his Point of view. He wants the crops selected with refer eneo to their adaptability tho one with the other, and it Is plain to soe that be has a soft spot In his heart for beets, clovers, corn and stock.

GEORGE STILL FROM JUMBLE OFF HORSE London, Nor. 5. King George last night passed the most comfortable hours since he was Injured last week In a fall from his horse in a troop review In France. He et ill la in pain, however, especially when "he moves. It is believed that his majesty is more tnjur-d than physicians have admitted. This opinion Is strength ened, by the letter written by Cor poral Fred Clark from the front to his father, describing his wild ride for a doctor Immediately after the king was injured. Clark wrote that the king was pinned under his kick ing mountand had to be dragged out by staff officers.. -A staff officer rushed up to .Clarke: "Ride like hell in the night for a doctor," he commanded. ' Clark finally had to report that none was available, for all were at the front with their regiments. As a result the king bad to be taken in an automobile to the rear before his Injuries received attention. PORTLAND MARKETS Wheat Club. 90 H 934; blue stem, 949. OatsNo. 1 white feed, 2 If? 2 5.

TREAT CATARRH BY NATURE'S METHOD livery Iireath of Hyomei Carries Healing: Medicated Air to the Infected Membrane Nearly every one who has catarrh knows now foolish It is to try and cure it with sprays. lotions, and the like. Temporary relief may be given, but a cure seldom comes. Until recently your physician would probably have said the only way to help catarrh would be to have a change of climate; but now with a simple preparation called Hyomei you can carry a health-giving clim ate in your vest pocket and by breathing it a few minutes four times a day successfully treat yourself. The complete Hyomei outfit is in expensive and consists of an Inhaler that can Fca carried in the vest pocket, a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a life time, and if one bottle does not give permanent relief, an extra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained at any time for a trifling sum. It is more economical than all remedies adver tised for the cure of catarrh and is the only treatment known to us that follows nature In her method of treating diseases of the respiratory organs. C. H. Demaray has sold a great many Hyomei outfits and the more he sells the more convinced he Is that he Is perfectly safe in guaranteeing to refund the money if Hyomei does not telieve.

Grants Pass, Oregon MASON TELLS WHAT New York, Nov. 5. Former Premier Venizelos, who caused the latest upset in the cabiuet affairs of Greece, Is apparently preparing to challenge King Constantino regard ing the rights of a constitutional monarch. The Creeks may be asked to decide whether a democratic government rules during the present crisis. It is most unusual for a parlia ment to attack the king. It Is un precedented that a representative statesman should do likewise. So Venizelos' denunciation of King Con- stantine for opposing the popular will probably means that he has de cided it is necessary on behalf of the democracy to put the king in his place In a constitutional mon archy. But there is no guarantee that Venizelos can carry the country with him. The Greeks borrowed their monarchial ideals from Great Bri tain, tout Constantine is safe In at tempting constitutional evasions that would cost an English king throne. Venizelos is right in declaring that the present crisis is a test of demo Baskets ! WAR MOVES MEAN Beautiful brown Japanese Baskets for flowers, fruit or sandwiches, liave. just been received.
