A matter to be most sincerely de- , . , - ,. . . , , aired Is the flndin of some basis of agreement between the city and the local water company whereby a great er supply of water can be available at a lower rate before another sum mer season. At the rates ordered tn effect by the state utilities com mission the use of water upon the lawn in quantity sufficient to main tain the beauty of the lawn during the long and dry summer Is Impos sible. Thus the raise in rstes defeats Its own purpose, and revenues are made less rather than greater. Car ried to Its ultimate conclusion, the . . j A U V 1 . .4 ...... 1 U ...... ..VVU. . . . H " water company must some day be,, mtion of ,( forced out of business, or the rates Increased from year to year as pa tronage decreases till a few pay for maintenance of the plant. A better way will be to adjust rates so that the interests of both the company and the public are served. Then the residents will use .the water, and the greater patronage will give the com pany its required Income. Otherwise, the public must set about finding some other solution of the water question. , CHRISTENING THE FARM.

"There is some initial ex- pense in having a picture taken and) a cut made, but the publisher of the nearest country paper will attend to the details and afterward will do the printing reasonably. "If the farmer raises high-class animals, his letterhead may contain a picture of a prize animal with Its record; or if he has a stock farm, a picture of a bunch of stock; or if he has the best house or barn In the neighborhood, a picture of that; or a picture of a grove or a stream Is usually effective on stationery. There are few Oregon farms net worth nam ing, and few that do not provide something worth a permanent pic ture. "Advertising rates are very low In Oregon country papers, and a farmer at a cost of from 10 to 50 cents may often sell a horse, a second-hand ma chine, or Borne other thing about the place he does not need by putting a small advertisement In his weekly paper. "A farmer's advertising should of course conform to the best advertis ing standard; It should ibe very definite and absolutely truthful." T, P. MAKES' PLEA" FOR PREPAREDNESS Chicago, Jan. 11. Asklug the bull moose national committee, in session here today, to drop all purely parti san considerations. Colonel Koose Telt today wired the member a plea (or preparedness. In it he declared the country faces a great crisis and that the nation has fallen tar short of its duties (or the past IS months. The message did not mention Roose velt as a presidential candidal. The message was read by the com mitteemen and Scores of other bull moose leaders at a conference pre liminary to the committee's executive session. "There is a crying need that we disregard all tout vital issues affeet tug our national life," wired Roose velt, "and strive whole-heartedly for a sound Americanism which shall In sist that every man within our bor ders be an American and nothing else. "We must do Justice to our own people at home, and insist that they hav JU8tlc when they M 8brd' we musi insist upon a iuuhi mur- ougngolng preparedness to protect our rlgnts against all attacks by any aggressor. Such preparedness is the best guarantee of an honorable peace. We must ever remember that there can not be such preparedness In things material unless there is also that preparedness of soul and spirit which alone renders a nation fit to perform its high and difficult duties in national life." Reading between the lines, some committeemen said that the message squared with George W. Perkins' at tack upon President Wilson last night, particularly the part referring to "justice when they are abroad."

Hrltlsh soldiers going to tho relief of beleaguered Kut-El-Amnra, Kugland's Mesopo tamia base, are now within 17 miles of tho town, according to the best available information today. , Hut the Turks, outnumbering them two to one, block their path and sur round the town. British reconnolterlng forces are tn contact with the Turks six miles east of Kut-EI-Amara, according to offtclul dispatches today. The main British force has 'been unable to ad vance on account of bad weather and has halted tn the vicinity of Sheikh Saed. No news of the fate of the garri son has reached here since dispatches told of the danger to the British as a result of Saturday's fighting In that region. Hence it Is regarded possible that a decisive battle may already have been fought. Not since the memorable siege of Ladysmlth, South Africa, during the floor war, have the British been tn such a dangerous predicament, so far from home, as they And themselves In at Kut-EI-Amara. Therefore anxiety, If not genuine alarm, Is felt for the expedition. The latest advices Indicated that the relief forces of Geuerals Aylmer and Campbell are lit contact with the Turks In the bend of the Tigris river, east of Kut-EI-Amara. The weather, however, Is Impeding the British pro gress. Though no details of the situ ation have becu received, It Is 'be lieved the Turks who encircled the British right wing threw heavy forces between the Kut-EI-Amara garrison and the Tigris. If that Is the case, the relief forces must fight their way eastward through this force. Meantime, officials are hopeful. Kut-EI-Amara is undoubtedly pro visioned to withstand a long siege.

Tho British are in a better position to carry on tho struggle at lvut-El-Amaru, Meso potamia, than tho Turks enclrellug them, because of having more advan tageous communication. General Aylmer has unobstructed uso of tho Tigris from tho base at the Persian gulf. Tho Turks cau not move down tho Tigris becauso Kut-EI-Amara blocks their path, and they must move supplies over marshy land while rain Is Increasing their difficulties. Aylmer began his relief march Thursday from Imam All Oherbl, 60 miles southeast of Kut-EI-Amara, and It Is believed he has reached 8helkh Saed, midway between tho two points. The Turks must move from their base to attack htm, and once they do, they will ibe hampered by communication problems. Aylmer undoubtedly will be able to penetrate to Kut-EIAmara, but he may be com pelled to move cautiously, fearing that tf be rushed tn ho, too, would be bottled up. It ts possible he will need reinforcements before continu ing to Kut-EI-Amara and Bagdad and thus accomplish the purpose of the campaign, OF (By United Tress Leased Wire.)
