' The whole question of the eight hour day, which was quieted tor pur poses of election by the forcing ot the Adamson law through congress ' by President 'Wilson, is sow again to be threshed out The four brother hoods of railway trainmen are tak ing up the cudgel, and behind them, though not affiliated with them in the fight, Is the American Federation of Labor. An eight-hour law to carry justice and equality with it should - be unlTersal. It eight hours is long enough for one class ot labor to toll out of the 14, it la long enough for all, and Increased pay under the guise of an eight-hour law is justice to no one. " "' ' There is now a pretty universal sentiment in favor of the eight hours of labor. ; But along with the short ening of .the day there Is an increas ing of the cost of production, a proper ' Increase, bat an increase that must be met by ehanged conditions all along the line. This must be kept in mind, for legislation can not stop at fixing the hours alone. If the manu facturer la to compete with the for eign manufacturer, the shorter hours or Increased wage must be overcome by adequate tariff protection. An eastern writer says that "It may be possible to psss a wage increase bill, affecting a small percentage of the workmen in a particular Industry, without a protective tariff, and then to call it an 'eight-hour1 law. but It Isat an eight-hour law, and even sneh a law will not benefit the very men It Is designed to help if the freight yards of the country are fill ed with Idle freight cars as they were In 1914, because American indus tries have been destroyed by compe tition from abroad. " "It would not help labor generally to pass an eight-hour law for the entire United States, If the Industries of the United States are to toe sub jected to a competition which will drive them out of business. Adequate protection for American Industries Is the foundation on which eight-hour legislation must rest. Bight-hour legislation built on democratic tariff legislation would be a house built upon quicksand." The United States is not at war, but it has a casualty list In some callings of a peaceable nature that would put some ot the battles of his tory to shame. Down In the one state ot California, for Instance, 196 people met death during the month of October In automobile accidents, while the dally average of deaths through this cause in the slate was 2.8 for the previous eight months. The number of persons maimed dur ing a four-months' period In the one state was 2.183. A compilation tor the entire I'nlted States for a month or a year would make one conclude that autnlng was not so safe a busi ness after all. , Copper has taken another spurt in the eastern markets. Every cent of advance Is adding heavily to the mar gin of profit for the mining man and Is giving southern Oregon prosperity another boost. x Fancy BEETS CARROTS CABBAGE CELERY - LKTTUCK PARSNIPS WATCH TOR OUR THANKSGIVING BPBOIALS KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY QUALITY FIRST TRADE SUBJECT GF WILSON MESSAGE Washington, Nor. 21. A call to American business to meet unprece dented trade conditions after the war is to be the keynote ot President Wil son's message to congress Tuesday, December S. The president is com pleting the message today and expects soon to have it in the hands of the printer. The president discussed the mes sage with members of his cabinet to day. Regardless ot the avowed op poaltion of labor to proposals for strike settlement by legislation. It is known the president's suggestions to the next congress on the question ot prevention ot industrial disputes will be practically the same aa those pro posed to the lost congress when the railroad strike was threatened. The biggest fight will be waged against that provision which makes Illegal strikes and walkouts pending full public hearings of both sides. The president believes the conn try's Industries can do a maximum amount of work only when there Is a minimum of Industrial unrest. His message la expected to emphasise this in an appeal to employer and employe for more co-operation, more confi dence of each In the other, and less tendency to class feeling. In this connection he has formu- llated, plana for rendering practically impossible strikes of all kinds, tie will urge completion of a program similar to that proposed In his last message to handle such situations as the recent threatened strike of the railroad brotherhoods. Believing the railroad problem as Important a domestic issue as con fronts the country. President Wilson will urge congress to give the most careful consideration to possible legislation which will aid the trans portation systems to expand and Im prove to meet the additional stress under which they will be placed at the close ot the war. Abroad also the foundations must be laid for the coming trade upheaval, I the president believes. He will urge congress to act immediately upon a measure along the lines of the Webb bill, which would have permitted American exporters to organize with out fear of anti-trust law action. In addition to these, the president's message will urge action upon differ ent measures mentioned In his mes sage of a year ago and which are till nn the lint of the nilmlnlntrftf Inn'K I "nnfln Idhii hmlnAaa 11 Thaw AV- pected to Include: Conservation laws, legislation for rendering full political justice to the people of Porto Rico, a corrupt prae-j ttces act, federal aid and stimulation to Industrial and vocational educa-' tton like that given In the field of agricultural Industry, and possibly ' laws giving federal agents more ef fective weapons to ubc In dealing with conspiracies against the neu trality ot the government.

SLAV OFFENSIVE IN THE BALKANS London, Nov. 21. Another Rus sian offensive along the line from Constama to Cernavoda Is now ex pected to Increase the intensity ot the fighting In the Balkans. Military ex perts here today agreed this was the only step which could be relied on to lessen the weight of General von Falkenhayn's tremendous pressure on the Walachlan frontier of Rou manla a pressure which It Is now admitted constitute the gravest men ace to Rou mania. "The Roumanian army is in the greatest danger of being outflanked if the German official statement spe cifying near approach of the Teutons to Craiova Is accurate. The Rou manians are being forced back from the valley of the Jlul. .Meanwhile Palkenhayn, with a force estimated at half a million men, is sweeping around their rear, steadi ly lessening the gap through which they must retreat and circumscribing that line of retreat so that Its direc tion apparently must be due east. Unless there was a diversion some where else In the Balkan campaign to stop Falkenhayn's thrust. It ap peared almost certain today, that com plete evacutlon of the western part of Roumanla would be necessary to save the Roumanian army. This diversion, It is admitted, can best be made by the Russians, be cause of the ease of transporting re inforcements via the Black sea. Hope also was expressed here to day that the pursuit of the Teutonic Bulgarian army thrown out of Mona stir would be sufficiently hot to halt Falkenhayn. Berlin official reports admit rein forcement of these forces. Mean while experts believe General 8nr- ralls, of the allied forces, s hurry ing on to Prllep, to which point tho Teutonic forces withdrew, and plans to throw out his columns In a thrust eastward against Negotin, on the Vardar river. Such a blow would be a menace to the Bulgarian positions, and, If successfully maintained, forc ing withdrawal of the Bulgars, would open the way to further for ward movement by the British expe dition operating northwestward from Salonlkl.

COUNTY AGENT'S NOTES. 1 Sugar fleeta The sugar beet harvest is about completed for this season. In many instances the tonnage has been dis appointing, both to the grower and to the sugar beet company.. In every particular instance where such has been the case there la a percep tible reason. The one thing that was, perhaps, the cause of most failures was the lack of the proper preparation of the soil before plant ing. Another reason was planting of soli that waa wholly unfit for growing sugar beets, either on ac count of lack of fertility or being so situated that It could not .be Irri gated. ' 1 As a matter of fact the first ne cessary essential for successful pro duction of sugar beets Is an ample supply of water for Irrigation pur poses. Unless you can supply this, It Is Just as well that you give up the Idea of growing sugar beets success fully. If you are sure of this Indis pensable essential, the next thing to do Is to begin right now the prepar ation of your soil for next year's crop. Flrat of all, level your ground so that you may Irrigate your prop uni formly next year. If your ground la uneven you will And it impossible to get sufficient water on those that grow on the high places without too much on those that grow on the low spots. If you stop Irrigation when those on the low places have suffi cient water, then those on the higher ground will burn up. This will also reduce your cost of Irrigation to minimum. The next essential step Is to plow deep In the tall or early winter. A farmer told me a few days ago that he was Rowing deep. I asked how deep; and he said, four or five Inches. That is simply tickling the surface of the soil. Plow ten or twelve Inches deep, and leave the surface rough. Then plow shallow 'in the spring, four to six Inches deep, and If your subsoil Is In the least hard or still put a aubsoller In and break up the bottom to a depth of sixteen lo twenty Inches. In some cases It will be sufficient to put the subsoiler In every other furrow, but If the subsoil Is at all heavy break up the bottom of every furrow. This will open up the lower soil and gives the beets a chance to go down and make length and consequently tonnage. Further more this will bring Into action new soil that has not been used by other crops. - The sugar beet expert tells you that you can grow other crops better after having grown sugar beets on a piece of ground for three or four years. TIUs Is absolutely true, pro vided that you have handled your soil In such a manner that sugar beet growing has been, a suc-ess. It Is not because you have added any fertility to your soil, but because you have Improved the condition of your soil by better uic'.'ioV.t of farm- C. D.
