So long. Mr. Groundhog.
"F ill up on prunes." Is to be the
•logan for February 14. which is St.
Valentine's day. Prepare to do your
Wet tn helping to get away with the
rplus of Oregon prunes.
An arUcle regarding the ad visa-
Witty of husbands making wills will
be found on first page which is
worthy
of
consideration.
The
Oraphlc has in mind an instance
where the head of a household died
without leaving a will, and as a
consequence, the widow Is compelled
to work hard to support herself and
Minor child, while property valued
ml some <10,000 awaits the maturi­
ty o f the child and solo heir.
Including the state, county, city
school taxes, the rate for New-
reeidents will be about 53 mills,
s o the Graphic is informed. Since
misery loves company, according to
a s old saying. It may be comforting
to some to know that it might have
been worse. For instance, the rate
fUr Woodburn is said to be « . 3 mills.
Just so long as we continue to vote
* mill here and another there, each
o f which seems small in Itself, our
taxes will continue to mount higher
and higher from year to year.
While we were engaged in the
of "making the world safe for
democracy" we were urged Jrom the
various heads at Washington to be
economical and conserve on every
band, which was all right, but what
were fhe higher-ups doing all this
time. Our readers are invited to
take a look at the statement given
on another page, of the cost of Presi­
dent Wilson’s mission to France. Do
those figures indicate that the idea
o f Conservation ever entered the
minds of any of the fellows who were
connected with that affair? French
wine must have flowed pretty freely,
wince the damage to hotel property
is listed at the fairly good sized sum
o f <125.870.00.
and clear cut, and he
courage to voice his convictions, of­
ten in the face of strong opposition,
a thing which many local news­
paper men shrink from doing. The
new owners of the T. R. are George
E. Martin. Lynn C. Burch and I. L.
McSheiry.
Mr. McSherry, who Is
to be the new editor, comes from
Freewater, and he Is a graduate of
McMinuvtlle College.
MENACE
PERSHING
General John J. Pershing told the
naval affairs committee of the house
Wednesday that civilisation was In
grave danger of being destroyed un­
lees the United Statee takee the lead
in calling a disarmament conference
to prevent future wars. He said far­
ther:
“ The nation which declines to
come into the conference should be
viewed wfth suspicion."
"A war between the United Sates
and England la hardly conceivable,
he said. "With that lemon before
us. an armament reduction meeting
of the nations ought to be entered
into very hopefully."
“ Would you admit Japan, In view
of her agreement with England?
asked Representative Britten.
“ Of course." replied Pershing, em­
phatically.
“ All the powers must come Into
the meeting." he continued.
Pershing said civilians, as well as
army and navy men, should repre­
sent all nations nt the Conference.
- "Military men might not be dis­
posed to yield points so easily as
civilians," he explained.
“ It is time for enlightened people
the world over to realise that some
rational agreement must be reached
to relieve the world of Its great mili­
tary burden and to prevent future
wars,” he continued.
"If we can
once get the nations together, their
representative» around a table, some
agreement may be reached.”
These strong statements coming
from one who is a trained soldier
and who knows what real war Is,
certainly*will be given due weight.

themes, as its sister production.
This production will stand as the undying record of the
struggle of all mankind, crying out. striving for, and eventu­
ally attaining that God-given right—Tha Right to Happin«

Delbert Replogle. who is now lo ­
cated at Cashmere, Washington, Is
working on a wireless telephone syu
tern, and a Cashmere news item in
the Wenatchee Daily World says:
“ Wednesday night the. Replogle
wireless was in line with the Seattle
2 C. L. talking over the radio tele- [
phone. They heard several pieces
played on the graphaphone so dis­
tinctly that the scratching of the
needle could be heard. All were
stations of amateurs and when in­
struments are perfected the sound
will carry over the entire room.”
N. P. Nelson spent a part of last
week In Gilliam, Sherman, and Uma­
tilla. counties and attended a big
farmers’ meeting at Moro. He says
financial conditions over there are
rather strained, owing to the fact
that but little of the wheat and wool,
the two principal products, is sold.
It is dificult to get loans at the banks
on giltedged security, since the bulk
of tbe money Is tied up In the un­
sold products.

“Remodeling
Her Husband*
Archie Ellis, son of C. H. Ellis,
arrived home last Monday after hav­
ing served Uncle Sam for more than
four years in the regular army. He
came direct from Traverse, Texas,
where he was mustered out of the
service and given an honorable dis­
charge. He spent two winters in
Siberia, where he says he saw the
salt water In the bay freeze to a
depth of three feet, and where he
was In several engagements with the
Russian forces. He also spent two
winters in the Philippines. As for
soldiering, he says he has had all
he wants of It, and thinks mother’s
good cooking is sufficiently inviting
to induce him to remain at home-—
well, at least until a younger cook
may be enticed from her home.
E. H. Weatherhead baa sold his
five-acre tract and home, located over
near the Grower green-house, to Wm.
Dansingburg, for <4,500.00, and he
and Mrs. Weatherhead are planning
to go to Los Angeles, where their
eldest son has a position on the fac-
culty of the University of Southern
California. They say they will prob­
ably remain there, if they find con­
ditions to their liking. Mr. and Mrs.
Weatherhead came here from Min­
nesota several years ago, and have
been worthy citizens, industrious and
frugal, and they are now reaching
an age in life when they are Justly
entitled to a little slowing up of the
pace. Their many friends here will
wish them well wherever they may
locate, and the latch string will be
out If they conclude to return to
Newberg at some future time.
