In accordance with a policy recently adopted by our government, these men were all notified that they might be - honorably discharged If they did not want to fight against their native countries. No Influence was used to affect their decision one way or the other. They could go or stay, ks they pleased. And 1,100 or them, exactly one-half elected to stay with the army and fight for Uncle Sam. Doesn't that rather warm your heart toward the Immigrants whose presence we have often ' resented, and whose good will we have Im pugned? Reports from other can tonments have not been received, but it Isn't likely that they'll make any poorer showing. Marsh field Record.

A . series of spraying demonstrations with fruit growers In several counties of lbs slate will be held by W. 8. lirown, extension specialist, during the growing season. He will be assisted by the county agenta and county fruit Inspectors of the territory In which he Is working. The Idea Is to help fruit growers Increase the ef ficiency of their spraying and, where practicable, to cut down the cost of operation. The fruit growers who cooperate will furnish spray materials and make the applications needed under the direction of Mr. Hrown or of his assistants. Oregon la a large state, and has many different climatic conditions. Consequently, any apray ' calendar, no matter how carefully prepared, must be modified to suit local condi tions. A careful study of these con ditions will be made during the sea son and such changes In the spray cslendar will be suggested as seen necessary. Many orchardists of long exper ience are not using the most up-to- date and economical spraying nox tles, cut-offs, and other accessories. Where this condition la found, such changes as seen advisable wilt be made. , Oreat emphasis will be placed on the careful preparation ; and thor ough application of spraying mater ials. Here is where many fruit growers fall down. ' In endeavoring to save money by rapid work, they lose much more by doing a poor Job. Spraying when properly done Is the greatest money' saving operation In the orchard but when carelessly per formed is one or the most wasteful. Careful records will be kept fh booklets for the purpose, covering the subjects of weather conditions, spraying accessories, methods of ap plication anil cost accounts.

I) 800), on the baxl of several lt-' mun festivals (the Suturnalln, Hlgll Inrla, Juvenulln, Bruiunllu, or Dies natalls Invlctl 8olln). which were held In the latter part of December, In com memoration of the gulden age of lib erty and equality, and lu honor of the sun, who In the winter solstice ts, as It were, born anew, and begins hi con quering murcu. The only Indication of the season of Christ's birth Is the fact ttmt the shepherds were watching their flocks in the field at the time (Luke 11:8), and this fact points to any other season rather than winter, and is, therefore, not favorable to the traditional date. Besides, the ancient tradition ts of no account here, as It varied down to tire fourth century, Clement of Alexandria relates that some regsrded the 39tb, Pachon (I. e May 20), other the 24th or. 23th, 1'har inuthl (April 10 or 20), as the day, of Nativity.. , . ,., , . . J As to modern research, the only point on which, dlvlues genorully agree Is that Christ was not born oa Christ mus day, while numerous learned au thorities put the birth on almost every date of theear, All kinds of Commercial Printing at the Courier Office. ; SECOND-HAND FQRD FDR SALE Completely rebuilt and painted New tires ; 03OO CL HOB ART CO.
