The approval of the 1105,000 bond issoe for the Grants Pass Irrigation project by! tha federal board in San Francisco is sufficient cause for great rejoicing. It la a fact that, as fertile as the aoil la In this county, the long, dry season makes the use of water Im perative In most sections for the aaocessful raising of crops. With water on the land there fa nothing that cannot be accomplished and the construction of this project, which la coupled with, tha Gold Hill dis trict's, will mean- the addition ot 'more crops on 2,800 acrea of valu able land and will make a great In crease to the tonnage shipments from this city. The announcement that the Irriga tion and Power company, which has re-organized the former Rogue River Public Service Corporation, that Mr. Fanvre has succeeded in getting that company on Its feet again and will he in a position to furnish water to a large acreage In 1919, la alao en couraging. Mr. Fauvre is known to be a man who does things and has Invested a large amount of bis own; money In the project and has confi dence In Its future. These develop ments, added to the many small ir rigation organizations now operating will make a substantial showing In the county. And more may be ex pected from time to time. ' The other piece of pleasing news is ' in the chrome developments. While large bodies of this necessary compound exist In Josephine coun ty It has remained for ihe war to make them of sufficient value to be mined and for outside capital to un dertake the work.' Chrome' mining Is a rich man's business, but several local companies are getting the ore out and selling It.- - The mining ot chrome and copper, both war necessities, will add hun dreds of thousands of dollars to the circulation of the county this year and next. But it seems that to de rive the fullest benefit possible from this production for Josephine connty that the Improvement of a few miles of roads Is necessviry. If as good roads as California has are not pro vided It Is said that this product 'will he hauled over to Crescent City and shipped by boat. ; ' " The countj court Is up against a bard problem In 'this respect.

It may be able to apend something on the work, but It cannot hope to raise the entire amount. It la bound to meet protests front sections which are not directly benefitted and will have a thousand wratha to appease. But nothing should stand in the way of obtaining thla prosperity: which will be felt by the entire county. It would be well for some sections to sacrifice a little thla year for the greater benefit of all. There la hope of aid being given the coun ty from other sources, and It la to be hoped that thla will come to pass. The opportunity Is too great to he throw away. THE SPORTING SPIRIT In Brand Whitlock'a arUclea on Belgium, In Everybody's magaxlne, there la an illuminating ' comment ary ot sports and their Influence on character. "Almost as much haa been aald of German discipline as of German or ganisation." writes Mr. Whltlock. "There la, of course, much ot both In Germany, but the discipline Is mostly of the military kind. There aeema to be little self-discipline. "There are no sports In Germany, and the sense of fair play Is not de veloped; the idea ot 'playing the came' doea not exist. It Is said that German schoolboys see nothing but of the way in 'snitching.' la Inform ing, and are encouraged to do so." Doesn't that explain numberless things that we haven't been able to understand In the conduct of the Germans during this war? They have no sports. Their young men do not play the vigorous give-and-take games that develop strength of mind and character along with strength of body. There are no national sports like baseball or football. . There is scarcely any tennis. There are no college track meets. There la little athletic competition of any sort. In stead of sports, they drink beer and sing, or take walks. Those pastimes mav be -well enough In their way. but they don't develop the sense ofi"P- As made heretofore from Ore- ! fair play that has beeome instinctive ! j with the two great outdoor-sport na- tlons, the British and the Americans. We and our British friends have been accused of being sport-crazy. The Germans particularly have criti cised! us for "wasting so much time" on athletic games, when we might be training onr minds. We may bare orerdone it, but the results of the water and evaporate by heat aneafc for themselves. Tn the su-'ln untn tne aMlrea thickness.. Scum prune game of war, the sporting na tlons fight clean. It is the nation without snorts that has done the "dirty fighting" and set the stand-! ard of this war at Its lowest markj since Europe first rose above sheer savagery. " Li iT T PICTURE MESSAGES FROM HOME A good many people have had to do their traveling sitting In a lecture room looking at stereoptlcan pictures of foreign lands. And while It hasn't been so completely satisfactory as the real thing, It has done a lot to broaden the Interests of ihe men and women who haven't had " the chance to go and see for themselves. Now a new use for the stereoptl - can machine has been found. It Is not to bring strange scenes and peo ple to the viewer's eye, but to put before him the old familiar, loved scenes. The T. M. C. A. plans toj Nov provide a stereoptlraa machine for every 500 Americans abroad. And the pictures they show will be "bits of home." Those In charge ot the work are asking governors, mayors, chambers of commerce, colleges and museums for slides and descriptive material At rcrvthlnv from "Mli. iiulK i tB, -0y iwlmmln' hole." It Isn't hard to Imagine tha Individual thrills that will come to men who see la this way a little btt ot home. A New Tork skyscraper, a typical farm house, a scene from a college camp us, a railroad station, a toll bridge countless thlnga can be thought of that would serve the purpose. Perhaps the man who thrills at the skyscraper will not at first ap preciate the Joy of tha other who laughs at recollections the awmmng hole picture brings. But by and by both will realise that every picture brings a message from home to someone, and a kindly feeling ot kinship will gladden the heart of every soldier who sees them. The dots at the front aren't going to mope In homesickness, but Just the same they'll he mighty glad for Jut this bit of home the T. V. C. A. la going to give them. SUGAR BEE! SYRUP ITUTE Corvallls. Ore.,. May 4. Save sugar by using sugar beet sirup and make the sirup yourself. Is the pos sibility' held out to Oregon citizens by their college chemist, R. H. RoV Inson. Residents ot the Pacific coast re gions do not yet feel the sitga shortage now beating hard on many parts of the United States as w.ll as on the aoldiers of America and Its allies. But unless the supply of sweeting can be greatly increased the condition la expected to become serious here. Sirup or raw sugar can be pre pared In the home by growing a few bushels of sugar beets in the home garden or field and making them wn-grown beets the alrup haa at rAtiff hoatv flgtVA that vati flora strong beety flavor that rendered it unfit for table use. This csn be overcoine fcy th, f0i0wlna; method Scrub the beets until perfectly clean. Cut off the crown Just un der the lowest leaf scar, for the part above contains the salts that Impart the bad flavor. - Slice very thin and soak for -an hour or more In water near the boiling temperature. Drain will rise and should be dipped off to keep the flavor good. The srlup will be good and wholesome for table use. v; (i' ' ' If the evaporation Is carried still further a dark colored sugar will settle out, good for cooking.

It la a production that la replete with human Interest, and full opportun ity la glv'ea to the little star to de velop her part In her own Inimitable way. " RECEIPTS GIVEN EOR WAR BREADS Any community In Josephine coun ty or any groups of women In Grants Paaa who wish to see a "wheatless bread" demonstration, should at once make arrangements with Miss McCormlck, government food dem onstration agent, for such a demon stration.

Thousands of this favorite brand have been shipped to France. There is something home like and friendly to the boys in the sight of the familiar green packages with the red circle.
