Holland holds Java and her other utlying possesions, and maintains an Important overseas trade, with a navy of very moderate dimensions that ranks perhaps twelfth among the na tions. She has some submarines, and will increase the number of her de stroyers and smaller protective craft. Bhe has also an efficient army, based upon the principle of conscription or compulsory service. The ordinary field force of the Netherlands army amounts to about 160,000 men, while In the various reserves there are per haps 300,000 more. Holland has six million people, as against our one hundred million, and is not a warlike or militarized nation. But she could put 400,000 men into active service more readily than we could mobilise one-fourth as many, using our national guard and other possible sources of supply. If we were as well prepared relatively as Switzerland or Holland to defend our homes, while continu ing to stand with them, as we now do, for the principles of justice, honor and elvilization in the world, we should have at least six million men trained and equipped for military duty.

No. 8, 1916 NEWS ITEMS 01 General Interest About Oregon All Oregon Schools Will Celebrate Burbank Day Tuesday, March 7th, will be ob served by the public schools of Oregon with appropriate exercises celebrating the anniversary of the birth of Luther Burbank. Superintendent J. A. Churchill an nounces this fact in the 1916 Indus trial Club Bulletin which will be ready for distribution by the 16th of Febru ary. Not only will this bulletin con tain this announcement, but it will have Mr. Burbank 's latest picture and a personal letter from him to the In dustrial Club members of Oregon. "it Beems particularly fitting," said Superintendent Churchill, "in connec tion with our agricultural and Indus trial club work in the public schools, that we Bhould have a Burbank Day, and with proper preparation and exer cises familiarise the boys and girlB with the man who has accomplished so much for human progress. When farm bovB learn that soil chemistry, horti culture, stock breeding, etc., require as much brain activity as do electri city, law and medicine, and that Bur bank is classed with such men as Edi son, and has an income greater than moat lawyers, they will hesitate before going to the cities to become flunkies for corporations whose managers will consider them only so much property. "Miss Marvin, Btate librarian, will give out information telling the pupils where they can get facts regarding the life and accomplishments of Mr. Bur bank in order that they may arrange an interesting and profitable program zor that day." Oregon Loan Shark Law Upheld On Appeal by Supreme Court Salem In an opinion by Justice Benson, the Supreme court holds that Oregon's "loan shark" law, passed by the legislature in 1913, is constitution al. The opinion was written in the case of the State of Oregon against E, E. Ware, J. Wiesen, O. O. Grovier and J. Rirchsds, and affirms the judg ment of Circuit Judge McGinn, of Multmonah county. Dissenting opin ions were written by Justices Burnett and McBride. In appealing the case to the Supreme court, following the conviction of all four defendants, attorneys for the de fendants contended that the law was invalid and, f ruther, that the ; admis sion of certain evidence by the lower court was in error. Answering the allegation that the loan shark" law was class legisla tion, the higher court, declared that the law was nceesaary to protect vic tims of rapacity as far as practicable. Justice Benson held that the passage of the new "loan shark" law by the last legislature while the appeal in the case was pending was not enough to cause its dismissal. "Usury has been looked upon with disfavor for ages, " wrote Justice Ben son, "and it has been uniformly held that, the) state may either regulate or absolutely prohibit the taking of usur ious interest." Endowment Is Charity. Salem Holding that the 'E. Henry wemme Endowment Fund was charitable corporation the Supreme court naa issued a writ of mandamus that Corporation Commissioner Schuld- erman file the Fund's articles of incor poration as a benevolent concern. The opinion was written by Justice Mc Bride. Acting upon an opinion by Attorney General Brown Corjjoration Commis sioner Schulderman refused to file the articles under the statutes relating to charitable croporations. The attorney general held that the corporation was one for purpose of profit. Power Site Action Taken. Hood River At the annual meeting Tuesday of the stockholders of the Farmers' Irrigating; company, a sys tem covering a portijon of the West side orchard district, the board of di rectors was instructed to appoint a committee to finance the improvement and development of a valuable power site on Hood River controlled by the aitcn company. Only enough work will be carried to hold the Dower site. On the board of directors are: J. T. Jeffery, T. F. Johnson, August Guig nard, Charles Reed, M. H. Nickelsen. Health Certificate Issue.

The elm leaf beetle, which has already become a serious pest In Mult nomah county, Oregon, and threatens to Bpread to other parts of the state, may be effectively controlled by lead arsenate spray applied to the foliage. The proper spray fairly applied at the right time to every portion of the in fested trees will hold the peat abso lutely in check, says A. L. Lovett, en tomologist at the Agricultural College. Commercial lead arsenate paste should be used at the rate of three to five pound b of the paste to fifty gal lons of water. Two applications should be given, the first In the spring just as soon as the leaves are out well. This is to poison the beetles that have wintered over, which deposit the eggs. The second and most important Bpray should, be applied about three weeks after the first. This 1b to catch the young grubs just hatching and the re maining beetleB. Great care should be taken to get this second spray on the under Burface of the leaves, since this Is where the grubs feed. Where these sprays are not applied an appli cation must be made In July to catch the pests of the second generation.

EASY WAY TO HEAL COMMON SKIN-TROUBLES A Baltimore doctor suggests this simple, but well-tried and inexpensive, home treatment for people suffering witn eczema, ringworm, rashes and similar itching, burning skin troubles. At any reliable druggist's get a jar of reslnot ointment and a cake of res- inol soap. These are not at all expen sive. With the resinol soap and warm water bathe the affected parts thor oughly, until they are free from crusts and the skin is softened. Dry very gently, spread on a thin layer of the resinol ointment, and cover with a light bandage, if necessary, to protect the clothing. This should be done twice a day. Usually the distressing itching and burning stop with the first treatment, and the skin soon becomes clear and healthy again unless the trouble is due to some serious Internal disorder. Samples free, Dept. 7-S, Resinol, Baltimore, Md. What an Automobile Buyer Looks For F. W. Vogler, president of the North west Auto Company, Reo distributors, says that the fundamentals on which cars are purchased by the majority of buyers who have analyzed the situa tion thoroughly before making a se lection, are based on four things that this class of purchaser Insists on. The first question asked fs how long has this model been on the market. Experience has taught the careful buyer that a first year model, regard less of who is back of it, Is more or less of an experiment and the user ultimately pays for this experiment ing. When transmission is located on the rear axle, experience has taught the buyer that this is a good thing to avoid because of the shocks it must get over ordinary and rough roads. A third point of vital importance In the experienced buyer's mind ,1s the size and stability of the manufacturer. The experienced buyer wants a car that is backed by the personal respon sibility of some one Individual who is not under the constant fear that if dividends are not of a given amount at the end of the season the position will be open for another man. Service is the fourth demand of the customer who has been through the mill. He must know from personal observation for bis own satisfaction that repair parts are kept at the dis tributing point Of course the finan cial and moral standing of the dealer selling the car is of equal Importance. f oniano t.m. c.

Jump in London Market Portland More interest is being shown in the hop market than at any time since the recent deals were com pleted by the Oregon Hopgrowers' as sociation. Prices have not been ad- vanced, but the market is on a very Bteady foundation. The sharp advance in the London market, cabled the first of the week, of 10 shillings a hundredweight, equal to about 2t cents a pound on Pacific, confirms advices lately received of the strengthening of the market abroad, due to a reduction of English stocks. Local exporters report no increase in orders from the other aide, but antici pate an improved demand. The Bagley crop of 427 bales at Hillsboro was bought by the F. Johnson company. The price was not made public. The same firm bought 69 bales from Charles Leith, of Wood- burn, and a number of other lots at Woodburn, aggregating 200 baleB, in cluding the crops of Whitney, Lemry, Crosby, HcCormick, Dubois and Kil len. The prices of the Woodburn lots ranged from 9 to 10 cents. Apple Shipment Made. Hood River, Or. The first shipment of 'Hood River apples since Monday, January 31, left here this week. Wil- mer Sieg, sales manager of the Apple Growers' association, said he has been unable to fill orders because of the snow. With the weather breaking every effort to clean up the stock will be made. Reports from growers in all parts of the valley intimate no damage from the thawing of the snow. Local officials, however, have no en couragement as to exports of iruit for the coming season or for heavy sales of late export apples. The Fruit and Vegetable Producers and Distributors joint committee, a London organiza tion, ia now engaged in a gigantic campaign to educate English people to use only home-grown vegetables and fruits. The local association Ins re ceived from London a circular letter, issued by the organization, which says: This committee has obtai ned the support and co-operation of many kin dred associations keenly interested in the growth and distribution of BritiBh fruits and vegetables, and tne joint committee is now actively engaged in advocating an increased conakunption of these products."
