WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1918. .Fair; heavy Xrost rnursaay -r Glance at the difference between the present law and the Jackson camouflage measure: The present law provides that a mail notice be sent to all delinquents within, a certain time following the delinquency date. The Jackson law does likewise. The preeenflaw, to save the delin quent property from the title grab bers and scheming land attorneys. who are always "taking a chance" on. delinquent titles, further provides that when the mail notices tail to perform their function-,' then and on ly then, majr the notice be given by Publication. ' ' Th Jackson law amendment f morning; gentle southwesterly leaves out the publication entirely 4 winds!', and thus the delinquent who fails to hl notice is entirely at the mercy of the title grabber.

Walter M. Pierce, democratic uom inee tor governor, is now busy de nying that he Is a member of the non-partisan league. The fact re mains undisputed, however, that Mr. Pierce attended, participated In the discussions and served on the legU- lative committee at the meeting held In Portland Saturday, January 19, 1918, when the non-partisan league in this state was organised Can It be that Walter is ashamed of his company? ' ' SOLDIER LETTERS and man, and help in the accumula- tion of & wheat surplus. The oat crop is the third largest on record almost equal to last year's crop, and of unusually high quality. The to bacco crop is the largest ever grown. Barley, potatoes, rice, cotton, apples . and sugar beets all look better than they did a month ago. In no vital crop is there anything approaching a failure. We have nothing to waste, but we have enough for the essential needs of ourselves and our allies. Nature la with us again, and again the American farmer has done his duty nobly. In food, as well as in men and materials, we are now ready for the big effort that Is to win the war as we want to win It. WHICH LAW SERVES PEOPLE ; BEST? Let the present delinquent tax publication law of Oregon alone. Whenever the voters of the state tamper with an existing statute of merit, the inevitable result is a boomerang. Whenever, likewise, the freak legislation fiendg succeed in placing some wild ethereal plan on the statute books, the voters of Ore gon bear the burden until such time as the law can be cut off the books. Such is the history of freak legislation. Get this point clear; The present delinquent tax publication law was devised for one purpose only to protect the unfortunate delinquent taxpayer from that peculiar brand of social parasite known as the title grabber. It is considered a model law by adjoining states and Its prac tical application has convinced all that it is a statute of merit. When speaking of statutes, merit can only be measured by services rendered to the citizens of the state. C. S. Jackson, editor of the Port land Journal, la attempting to sub stltute a pet scheme of hig own to replace the present law. It reads thus: Xot till every grain of wheat had been harvested for the soldiers did Walter M. Pierce start to ask you for your votes as democratic candi date for governor," etc. To anybody who knows the thr.fty. lucre-gathering Walter Pierce, the hollow mockery of that expression appeals with the most disgusting effect. They know that every grain of wheat In Walter's broad acres was harvested to bring that $2.20 a bu shel to Walter's bank account, and they cannot resist an angry feeling upon seeing this attempt to use the name of the noble boys at the front for the Ignoble purpose of securing himself some votes. Using their name In this way is nothing short of sacrilege. Salem Statesman. PRINCESS MARY II ..Ear Wiillixv utnt WniiIm Mall With the Colors In Franco, Sept. 29, 1D1M. nar Folks: Just a uote to let you know that I am feeling fine and woll, but still looking for mntl. Wo have moved again and are 11 1 litted In a town, but are living In our pup tents with plenty of ruin to make It uncomfortable. We are working In three shifts of eight hours each and hnve to walk four or five miles to work, t am on the shift from elsht p. m. to tour u. m. and like It Talrly well, only It is quite dark to accomplish a icrnnt deal. ' I eat breakfast about six and go to bed and sleep until one o'clock, then have the afternoon to myself. The town we are located In Is about fifteen mile west ot (un In stead of al Oilman, and from the pn pera you ran find out what our com pany Is doing and what we are here for at this time. Hay Stretchberry Is In the sume town that we are living In. but I have not had the opportunity to talk with him yot. One of the other boys saw him and said ho was reel ing fine and looking good. Captain W. D. Clark Is also here, but I have not seen him either. A few letters came In today and I did not draw a one. but am not alone In my misery for there were not enough to go around. The Y. M. C. A. Is sending every thing to the boys In the trenches, consequently we can't buy a thing and we have to beg for paper and envelons to write letters. Ilefore we started wandering we were pretty! well fixed, but now we don't Ret to buy candy of any sort oftener than once or twloe a month. Sure do crave it too. Lots of love. WALLACK.

Princess Mary, only daughter ot King Gecrge and Queen Mary, has been appointed honorary commander and colonel in chief of the Royal Scots (Lothian Regiment), the oldest of the British army.- This regiment has a splendid record, and although the first name It bears on its colors is that of .the victory of Blenheim in 1704, It ex isted at least a quarter of a century The Deadly Nightshade. Deadly nightshade, which Is cultl vated to supply the English market with atropine, benrs a botanical name. Atropa belliidonnu, curiously appropriate to Its qualities, evil and good, combining the name of the most dreaded of the Fates Atro pos, whose function was to cut the thread of human life with the Ital ian for a beautiful woman. One ot. the most curious facts concerning the poison of the nightshade Is Its much more potent effect upon nu man beings than on animals, for though deaths from eating the ber ries are fnlrly common among chil dren, the birds ent and thrive on them, and the leaves, almost equal ly dnngerous to man, seem Innocu ous to horses, sheep, pigs, rabbits. and other animals, which browse upon them freely. The frequent oc currence of nightshade In the neigh borhood of ruined abbeys and mon astic houses mnkes It reasonable to believe that many of the wild plants are survivors from monkish herb gar dens. To Have Men Yojre, Go forth Into the busy world and love it Interest yourself In Its life; mingle kindly with Its Joys and sor rows; try what you can do for men rather than what yon can make them do for you, and yon will know what It Is to have men yours, better than If yon were their king or master.

N'clMin, operator LETTERS from our boys in the trenches and from the Vomen 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, i Consequently a national movement has been started by Col. William Boyce- Thompson of New York, who is acting aa Present of the Home Paper Sprvico of America to give the boys what they are ealling for. Every community is joining the movement Let us see that our boys aro not forgotten. Send to the publisher of this newspaper whatever amount of money you can 5 rents or $50.00. We will publish a liftt 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 bo turned over to the local Red Cross 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.
