COMING CHARLIE CHAPLIN In "SHOULDER ARMSn Sunday and Monday Special Sunday Matinee SULPHUR Corvallls, Ore., Jan. ao.Use of lrrlgattou, cover crops and sulphur and nitrate of soda fertilisers In southern Oregon districts has been shown by Investigations at the Tal ent branch experiment station to be ot the greatest value, says the official report of A. B. Cordloy, director of the Oregon experiment station. "Irrigation Is becoming more gen eral," continues the record, "two Ir Igntlon districts havlqg been form ed recently. "Thousands of acres of alfalfa are now treated with sulphur. A further result Is the growing ot alfalfa on adobe lands by application ot sul phur, where otherwise It Is unprofit able. "Nitrate of soda has been used ex perimentally with marked results. On the other hand the new cover crops Introduced by the station make It possible to maintain the nitrogen supply without resorting to the nse of commercial fertilizers. I OF Brussels, Dec. IS. (Correspon dence ot the Associated Press.) Conditions here and elsewhere In Belgium generally are very hard. The prices of food have reached a distressing height. Coffee costs the equivalent ot about $5 a pound; meat and butter, $2.50; sugar 62c; eggs, 40c each. Men's suits of poor quality cost from $100 to $120. Men's shoes are about the same as clothing. A moderate meal in a restaurant costs the equivalent of about $5. The streets of Brussels are filled with promenading crowds from morning to night because scarcely anybody does any work. The shops, many of which Indeed are closed, sell next to nothing for two reasons; In the first place, because they have very little to sell and, secondly, be cause the prices are so high that the public cannot possibly afford to pay them. The people have been very much disappointed about prices. They always hoped that as soon as the war was over and the armistice was signed the necessaries of life would be procurable at normal prices. Their anticipation has beenfar from being realized. In fact, people have to pay nowadays quite as much as when the Germans were In Brussels. The number ot places of amuse ment, dancing houses and the like has increased to a great extent." DEMOBILIZATION OF BRITISH GOING OX IX FULL SWING London, Dec. 12. fCorresnon- dence of the Associated Presa.) Demobilization of the British army Is now in full swing.
