The people of the state ot Oregon like to Tote. Sometimes they rote without knowing why. Some thous ands of them did that very thing at the late primary election when they placed an "X" at th na of "WII lisin Grant Webster of Illinois." All the oeople of Oregon knew ot Wil liam Grant Webster was that he had a he and : would like to be Tlce presldent ot the United States. Or, at least, he wanted Oregon to cast its primary rot lor him for vice president and thus give tilm a chance to butt Into the jug'show' at Chicago. Mr. Webster aa an appealing name. Grant and Webstar -aacJa. eommand many a page In the history of this land of oars, and the story of the Ration to Uledlrlth ft deeds ot Its Williams. So the people of Oregon found It easy to vote for William Grant Webster, though they did not tnov his race, color or previous con dition of servitude. Probably the delegate' from Oregon will feel in duty bound to gire at least one rote e William Grant Webster. That is one vote more than the man Is en titled to from what can be learned of his record, which consists chiefly of vaiBglorioua desire to hold some public office.. The moral is that the voters should give more thought to the make-up of the ticket and either 'let the delegates use their unhamper ed judgment or direct their voting .with more Intelligence than was ex hibited in this . instance. William Grant Webster has no claim upon the state of Oregon, but Oregon wili now have to go into a history-making political convention and announce its choice for William Grant Webster. "FLAG DAT PROCLAIMED. ' Governor Wlthycomb has issued the following proclamation setting Wednesday,- June 14th, as Flag Day: Whereas, June 14th, 1916, is the 139th anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes; and whereas. Organisations or a pa triotic nature in Oregon are desirous that special emphasis be placed upon this day and Its meaning; and Whereas, This generation has seen no time when loyalty and patriotism are more required than now, or when the encouragement of these vital na tional virtues' is more appropriate; Now, therefore, I do hereby pro claim Wednesday, June 14th, as Flag Day throughout the State of Oregon, and I earnestly urge that the day be devoted to exercises Indicative of and conducive to loyalty to the Flag; that in homes, schools, churches and business establishments the occasion be fittingly observed; that the Flag be displayed from pub lic buildings, schools, homes, and places of business, and that the en tire commonwealth, at this critical period of International unrest, unite in honoring the Flag of the United States of America and In pledging renewed and vigorous loyalty to It and the principles of liberty It rep resents. FEDERAL CXWDUSSION ; CONFERS WITH MIXERS . , Chicago, June 5. In an effort to arrive at some means of Improving working conditions and wages for the men; and output conditions for the operators, the federal trade commis sion here today conferred with rep resentative of the toft coal mine of Illinois nd Indian.;' So ell 'kridivh that all we need say is KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY Quality First Ml ESTIMATE OF GEOI'S LOSS London, JuM 6. The hope ot many English families, members ot which were on the ships lost in the great Skigcrak sea fight, that some ttt (he men wouid be rescued la being lowly crushed by the tales ot aw- fulness brought In by vessels which Save reached Copenhagen also the battle. Rut with the crushing ot this hope, pride in th navy la frowing hourly with tit continued Insistence ot tfe British admiralty that the Germans lost mora heavily than they admit; . "There teem to be the strongest ground for supposing that included In th German buttle losses are two hkttleshiD. two dreadnaught. two light cruisers the Wiesbaden and the Elbing a light cruiser of the Rostock type, th light cruiser Frauenlob, It destroyers and a sub marine," the admiralty said. (The Germans admit ot only the loss of the Frauenlob. Elbing. Wiesbaden and Pommern and four destroyers.) All of the sailors of th vessels that have passed through the battle waters agree that In nearly every in stance the loss ot lit with the de struction of the ships must have been nearly total, ships arriving in Copen hagen report. Hundreds of these men Jumped to rafts and were slowly driven Insane by the torture ol thirst some aranK su waxer uu, , 6iua stark crazy, fought with weakened companions, jumped into the sea and were drowned. The dispatches also state that many German cruisers which have hereto fore been patrolling . the Courland coast have been withdrawn. UNITED STATES SENATOR WAR REN C. HARDING.

Now is the time to make . that corn crop worth while. The weather has been too cool tor rapid growth of corn so far, but this week is different. Tpur com that la fairly well start ed is now ready for deeper cultiva tion. Cultivate it often and do not let th weeds get a start. Those weeds that get a start now are hard to get rid ot later, and. if not kept out later they will take the moisture from the crop that it needs at the critical time for making a crop. Recent government corn statistics are surely gratifying to the Oregon farmer. While Oregon Is fsr from the head of the list In total produc tion, It is by no means at the root. She produced more than twtoe as much as California last year. From 1912 to 1915 Oregon has Increased from 28 H to 35 bushels per acre. In same time, in total production she has Increased from 598,000 to 1, 155,000 bushels. Illinois last year produced 36 bushels per acre: low. 30 bushels; Nebraska, 30 bushels; Kansas, , 30 bushels; while Oregon produced 35 bushels. If the farmers of Oregon will prac tice the proper system of rotation of crops snd continue the Improvement of the seed they can very much In crease this average. There Is a handsome trophy for the winner in the corn contest at the Josephine county fair this fall. The following Is taken from a let ter from Roy C. Jones, county agent, Tillamook county: "There will prob ably be three or four Guernsey bulls placed here this summer. Just re ceived May Rose Starlight, at a cost of $660, and the man was very will ing to pay the price, because of the record behind the animal. "We will be in the market for 500 tons of alfalfa hay this summer and fall. Does Josephine county have any quantity for sale?" The Commercial club had a letter this week from a contractor In Cali fornia, asking if it could put him in touch with some people who could furnish him a car load of hay and a carload of barley or oats each week for six months. Too bad we can not supply the feed; and If we could, it would yet be too bad that we did not have the cows to consume this feed at home and thus keep the return at home and build up our soil fertility. C. D. THOMPSON, County Agent. lDITIIJ Mil riZA NOTE Washington; June 5. President Wilson today began the draft of his reply to the latest note from Car ranza, demanding withdrawal of American troops or explanation of I why the United States should keep ts troops on Mexican soli. It Is the administration's present Intention to have its reply in Carranza'a hands before the end of th week perhaps before Thursday, to forestall as much as possible expected adverse criticism IILS WHIG CARRA 1 6f tli prw'tdont's Mexican Policy t , the Chicago con vtntlol . ;Vth th personal help of Secre tary Lansing, the president may com plot a rough draft In Urn tor cab inet . consideration tomorrow. That the troop withdrawal suggested would be refused seemed certain. That th refusal will convey to th d facto government offlclals finality of derision in this respect seemed also a certainty. Dut th answer will be couched In such terms as to leave the Carransa government ample opportunity to "keep itself right" be fore th Mexican public.
