This is one o f the disquieting pos

the Oregon Agricultural College, in
his series o f talks on food and the
war, which he is giving in Oregon os
a representative o f the United States

Dr. Kerr will speak in Coquille,
Friday evening. May 10, at 8:00 p. m.
He will also speak s t North Bend,
May 8, and Marshfield, May 9.
“ How America, and especially Ore
gon, can best respond to the demands
for increased food production, Insur
ing the food supplies essential to the
successful prosecution o f the war,
will be dealt with in the most prac
tical w ay by Dr. Kerr, who has just
returned from a food production and
conservation conference with the offi
cials o f the Department o f Agricul
ture and the Federal Food Adminis
tration.
The wheat shortage in the allied
countries is 624 million bushels. Their
only source o f supply is tho United
Stptee, which has a normal consump
tion o i approximately the amount
produced. French rations have been
cut down one-half. The effect o f the
shortage are disclosed in s statement
from the French commissioner, A n
drew Tardieu, who says:
“ France has reached the lim it o f

sacrifices comes to her immediate aid,

As to so-called stool pigeons, what
ever cranky notions some juries may
have, it is our judgment after a quar
ter o f a century’s observation o f un
successful efforts to anforce prohobi-
tion laws that without employing de
tectives, no officer is ever going to go
over the top in enforcing bone dry
laws. The men who try to ruin our

In regard to the Third Liberty Loan
Bonde, it is explained that they can

ones, however, differ from the others
in two respects. They draw one quar

they will not be exchangeable for any
issues hereafter made that bear a
higher rate o f interest. The latter
is the only respect in which the Third
