Kinney & Truax Grocery Quality First ricoUural development of Oregon Mr. Meade hopes that the measure will be the fore-runner of further legislation that will authorise state advances to settlers to assist tensnt farmers and young people entering on their life work to become land owners. "What wa most need now, con cluded Dr. Mscpherson, "is volun teers who will gtva enough time Jo Mesjco "with alarm." What to do with the equipment fot making shot and shell and powder when Europe has ceased fishing, or had ceased to draw upon the. United States for Ks apply, has been something of a worry to the manufacturer who has teen fattening on war orders and he will hall with delight the opening of market, at home. Even without war, and war with Mexico Is probably no nearer than It baa been any time during the past year, the expense of mobilising the militia and sending It south for doty at the border will cost Uncle Sam a pretty figure. There is a value to j this mobilization, however, ; other , than that of backing up a bluff made at Carranxa. It will show to thej fellows across the sea that Uncle Sam can get ready In a hurry if he has to, and they will be less Inclined to carry a chip around on their shoulder. At Washington estimates are be ing made of the cost of keeping 100, 000 militiamen In tbe field, that num ber now mobilizing throughout the United States ready for a call to ac tive service. It has cost about $10, 000,000 to keep forces varying from 25,000 to 40,000 regulars for three months, or at the rate of somewhat more than $100,000 per day. At the same proportionate rate the militia would cost $250,000 per dsy besides the necessary expense of bringing It up- to the standard of the regular army In equipment the petition, within the next few: days and then keep up their educational propaganda nntR they know the bin Is passed la November I- iTTINO SENSE.- UkdbsVsaA There cornea a clear day when, ene iWixes that, clothes are te, keep the(waatber off. you that feed Is ta nivahalthj that heme is shelter and inspiration! that, aside from being clean and In- ' offensive, one's personal appear ance doea not aignify much; that the main thing in life ia to bo going toward the goal of your ideala.

"As It now stands, the rural credits constitutional amendment has proba bly combined within It the wisdom of . a larger number of people than any bill that has been submitted to the , people of Oregon since the adoption , of the constitution," ssys Dr. Hector Macpberson, or the O. A. C. bureau ( of organization and markets, who has been connected with the preparstlon of the measure. J "The framers of this measure," con-( tlnues Dr. Macpherson, "claim neither honor nor originality for themselves. They have been assemblers of Ideas end not originators. They have con-' suited farmers in all parts of the( state, lawyers, bankers, real estate dealers, statesmen and professors of agricultural economics. The para- mount alms were absolute safety on j the one hand, and safe-guarding the nystem from abuse by land specula tors on the other 'hand. Students of the measure will recognize that the; committee lias gone the limit in at , tempting to achieve both of these alms." I Copies of the final draft were sub mitted to rural credits experts of j California, Harris Welnstock and i Professor El wood Meade. Professor, Meade lias had seven years expert- ence as director of a similar but more , far-reaching system of rural credits In Australia.

Even those who bad hoped American mobilisa tion would tame Mexico's martial spirit, were todsy loss confident that thts would be tbe case. A stronger feeling was that the militia of the United States may see Mexican service. One story was that the administra tion expects to bottle up .Mexican ports at once. Offlclsls admitted this could be done, though they did not admit early today that this is the an ticipated course. The Pad no fleet Is en route to the west coast of Mexico: other ships dot both coasts. All are ready for action. Tamplco Is the special point mention ed In blockade discussion. There, It was said, a blocksde could be laid without hampering the supply of oil for the British fleet from the fields np the Panuco river, This supply must not be , stopped, officials say, following the balloting, a 8panlsh fiesta, in honor of the visiting ladles, will be held at Shrine auditorium.

"Your government Intimates, it It does not openly charge, that the at titude of the United States is one of Insincerity, distrust and suspicion to ward the de facto government of Mexico and that the Intention of the United States in sending Its troops to Mexico is to extend its sovereignty over Mexican territory and not mere ly for the purpose of pursuing mar auders and preventingLfuture raids across the border. Tbe do facto gov ernment charges by Implication which admits of but one interpretation, that this government has as its object territorial aggrandisement even at the expense of a war of aggression against a neighbor weakened by years of civil strife. Tbe government of the United States, if it bad designs upon the territory of, Mexico, would have no difficulty in finding during this period of revolution., and disorder msny plausible arguments for Inter vention in Mexican affairs. Hoping, however, that the people of Mexico would, through their own efforts, re store peace and estsbllsh an orderly government, the United States has awaited with patience the consum mation of the revolution. "Wben the superiority of the re volution led by General Carranza he- came undoubted, the United States, after conferring with six otber of the American republics, recognlxed un conditionally the present de facto government. It hoped snd expected that that government would speedily restore order "Can the de facto government toubt that, if the United States had turned covetous eyes on Mexican ter ritory, It could have found msny pre texts in tbe past for the gratification of, Its desire? Can that government doubt that months sgo, when the war between the revolutionary factions was, in progress, a much better op portunity than the present was afford ed for American intervention.' If such had been the purpose of the United States, as the de facto government now Insinuates? "In conclusion, the Mexican gov ernment invites the United States to support Its 'assurances of friendship with real and effective acts,' which 'can be no other than the Immediate withdrawal of the United States troops,' , "For-reasons I have, herein mi forth, this request of the de, facto, government ran not now be enter talned. . "Whenever Mexico will assume and effectively exercise that , resoonstbll itty, the United States, as It has many 'times before publicly declared, wilt .be glad to have this obligation fulfill ed by the de facto government of I Mexico and would bo pleased to ig nore this obligation and to believe that, in ratio of a refusal to retire ( these troops, 'there Is no further re course than to defend Its territory Uy an appeal to arms.' the govern ment of the United Stslea would sure !ly tie lurking In sincerity und friend ship If It did not frankly Impress up on tho tie facto government that tho execution of this threat will lead to gravest " consequences. While this government would deeply regret such a result, It can not recede from Its sealed determination to maintain Ita national rights and to perform Ita natural duty In preventing further Invasions of the territory of the United Stales and in removing the peril which Americans along the boundary have borne so long with, patience and forbearance." for JAM i .swsra u la mm " 't A Sensible Cigarette, Waste Paper Baskets We have them In nickeled or brown wire, lacquered steel and In Japanese woven bamboo.
