WATCH YOtH VOTE The Oregonlan states that those who neglected to vote at the 1917 election, and who fajl to vote at the election next month, will be placed In a position where their registration la subject to cancellation. To quote the Oregonlan further: "There was a special election In 1817 throughout every county which drew out only a partial rote. If those who failed to vote then neglect that duty next month, their regis tration will be subject to cancella tion. "Within a given period after no tice a canceled registration may be restored, by mall notice to the con ty clerk. If not thus restored the voter who desires to vote In the pres idential election in 1920 will have to register In person at the office of the county clerk. The unregistered voter may, of course, vote In an elec tion, hut he must awear in his vote with the aid of freeholders who are personally acquainted with his quail flcatlons as an elector. The process la complicated and discouraging." ARE TOC A KNOTKEK? Portland Is starting a campaign or at least Is trying to arouse inter est among her citizens, to patronize home industries; to persuade Port- landers to buy their clothes, produce hardware, grain, bread In fact everything they need right tn that city instead of sending their money out of town. A capital idea, and many smaller places, for Instance Grants Pass, could profit greatly by adhering to the same principle. Nothing Is more discouraging to local business men, and nothing will make a town a "dead town" quick er than for a majority of the citizens to get the mania for "sending away" for everything they need. Clothing, Bread, groceries, shoes, drugs, hardware and many other ar ticles are shipped into this place. But those who kiss their money good bye and send It on that long Jonrney from whence It never returns could 4o Just as well, and In the majority of cases much better, by patronizing our home business holism. Many shipments of bread make their way Into this city, while Grants Pass has one of the finest bakeries In the west; many a suit finds its way via the parcels post route to a Grants Pass wearer; even groceries, automo bile accessories, and many other ar ticles are shipped In. A peculiar part of this "sending away" business Is the fact' that worn en are the worst offenders.

I Grants Paaa la no worse than any j other small city la this respect, but isn't it about time that you were ' waking up to the fact that TrTi time you send an order away it Is a i knock on your home town? ' Joe Knowlea. "nature man." he who threw aalde the fig leaf and bared hia epidermis to the wilds of Oregon a tew years ago to prove that be could survive in the primi-1 tive state, wants to catch the kaiser i ; ana turn mm loose among mo ajT anlmalg In some wilderness to see if he will survive be able to paddle his own canoe, as It were. Joe must hold a grudge against the wild ani mals. The dragging away of 15.000 peo ple of the city of Lille by the Ger mans does not merely mean that 15,000 people have been taken pris oner. It meana that Just about that; number will be changed into physl-j tar la secreted. Thla Is often not ae cal wrecks wrecks and nothing less eompljslied. for If the colony la weak- . , for some will be almost worked to death, aome will be beaten, while many will be starved. That is what It means to be taken prisoner by the promoters of "kultur." A man today reading the bulletin wherein it Is stated that the Ger mans "win announce immediate sus pension of warfare and other politi cal guarantees," pondered a moment and then said: "I wonder what that means." As near as we can ten u means another year of hell on the western front. Germany points with pride to her atrocities and brutality as "a neces sity of war." There could be many- answers given In reply to her state ment, but the best answer will be a double-barreled dose of concentrat ed hell just as soon as the allies set foot on Hun soil hasten the day. Thus far the Spanish "flu" has not made any great headway In this city, but human nature passeth under standing and many whimlscal ones will never be satisfied until they have the "popular" disease. Colds and la grippe are too common. The Huns may be attempting to holt their brutalities, but in the street vernacular "cruelty Is th ir middle name" and It's a hard Job for them to conduct themselves along humanitarian lines. Governor Wlthycomlm states that he Is so buHy with war work that he will not make a campaign. Withy combe is faithfully staying at his post of duty. America's answer to Hun cruelty Is tho raising of a 16,000,000,000 loan In thre weeks' time by 20, 000,000 of her citizens. Gott hasn't ilesorted the kaiser he was never with him. Our reply should be framed in two words, "unconditional surrender." Have you gone "fluey" yet?

An example la found hi the wnite clover redon. where nectar ee- cretion usually begins about June 1, and most beekeepers lose much of the white clover nectar from bad manage- The1 Honey Bee a, Worker; b. Queen; j , Drone (Enlarged). j l ment In the alfalfa region many col- ; onles fall to get nectar from the first j crop from the same cause, even though J this often comes In July. It la evident, therefore, that a failure to provide i proper care in winter and spring may ' result In almost total failure. This , one factor Is responsible for heavy ' losses which should be guarded against at this time. In order to obtain strong colonies In time for the honey flow, the bee keeper must see that every colony la The 18 m Li want n HifWr's vov. -jg CVjS?zx 7 wTH Trt'Fiwr -p CHOlCe op ' nWmi pwNCH -That ecr seKvict.euD t&MB nffldeotly strong tn bees the previous fall to winter ancceaafully. This ran be done by leaving plenty of stores for ; the bees to feed on, and space for '. breeding. The beea also require pro ' taction from cold and wind during the t winter. This applies also to the cart of beea In spring, for at this time they should have abundant food and pro tection. The failure to take the proper . rare of here In winter and spring Is a ; son roe of the greatest loss now expe- rteored by beekeepers, and thla ap ' plies to almost all parts of the United Sutra; yet It Is a simple matter tn ' protect the hoes from wind and cold. I To do so will put more dollars in the fanner's pockets and more bees In his j hives. A second, and In some regions an j equally Important, consideration la ; keeping tho colonies from swarming. Where a colony divides Itself Into two I Parts by swarming, neither part Is able to gather as much surplus honey for the beekeeper as the original colony might have done. The old-time bee keeper coon led bis success by the num ber of swarms which. Issued, but the modern beekeeper realises that unre stricted swarming la one of the great est sources of loss. To prevent swarm ing entirely, or even to handle swarms so aa to overcome thla source of loss, la the most dl (Bruit task confronting the beekeeper In some regions, while In others the problem Is almost absent. No Infallible method of swarm preven tion has beeo found, owing probably to the fact that the cause of swarming la not yet known In spite of the strenu ous effort to solve this mystery of the hive. However, practical methods of prevention and control have been evolved, so that in profltlng by the work of others a beekeeper ran largely overcome this difficulty. Unless the beekeeper reallzea the necessity of having colonies strong tn time for the nectar and of keeping np thla strength iy every means at his command, his xt-keeplng endeavors will fall to yield iie greatest profit a condition which s particularly undesirable at this Uroe.

World news is all right, but OUR BOYS want NEWS OF THIS TOWN. They want the home newspaper. Publishers are prevented from sending their papers free to anyone, even boys in the service. Consequently a national movement has been started by Col. William Boyce Thompson of New York, who is acting as President of the Home Paper Service of America to give the boys what they are calling for. Every community is joining the movement. Let us see that our boys are not forgotten. Send to the publisher of this newspaper whatever amount of money you can 5 cents or $50.00. We will publish a list each week of those contributing, and the amounts contributed. Every cent received will be) used to send this paper to our boys at the front. If at the end of the war, there is any surplus, it will be turned over to the local Red Croas Committee. There is no profit In this to the publisher even in normal times, subscriptions are not sold at a profit. With war prices prevailing, and the high rate of postage on papers sent to France, our cost will scarcely be covered by our full subscription price.
