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. Know
ing that the feminine mind turns to
advertisements, the mall order
houses flood their homes with at

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?

MMMMMMIIMMMMft;
Succeaa In beekeeping depends on
the beekeepers skill In two lines of
effort First, be must see to It that

the season that the beea have not time,
without aid, to gain sufficiently In
strength. 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-

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

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.
Con serve Moisture.
Weeds use np moisture. When they
trow In a crop they compete with the
.nip for the moisture, and weeds usn
illy keep on growing after the crop la
nit, thus using moisture that should be
laved np for nest year's crop.

T ETTERS from our boyi in the trenches and
from the women in canteen and other
war work, all bring to us the same mes
sage SEND US NEWS FROM HOME.
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.
