The Aurora Observer Twenty-seven Oregon counties maintain county agri a pact between free peoples. Ever since then universal peace has been Aurora, Oregon cultural agents this year, yet the Marion county court one of the main concerns of the best R E F U SE D to co-operate with the Federal government minds of Russia. M O H IO t Monroe, Banker A nd Diplomat Besides fathering the famous doctrine that bears his name. President James Monroe always preached conservation by banking. His keenness made the Louisiana purchase possible. Every great man says that banking is the bulwark of this country. j which desires to place a county agent in every agricultura county in the United States as a war measure to assist ir organizing and directing all agricultural forces for increas ing food production, and to aid in the disti fixation of food, labor, seed, seed grains, etc. Better production and bet ter marketing have characterized the work where ever the county agricultural agent policy has been established, yet an arrogant and self-sufficient county judge, assuming that only farmers are interested in the matter, with om hand slaps the Feberal government in the face and with the other flngs mud at every liberal minded man in the who disagrees with him,by turning down this ph which 27 counties of Oregon have adopted. Ash Wednesday, February 13, ushered in the Lenter season of 1918 last week with scarcely a comment to de note the beginning of, that period of fasting. Easter this year falls upon March 31. The 40 days (exchiding Sun days) from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday constitute the great religious fast of the year. The six Sundays -? ol this period are excluded from Lent for the reason that every Sunday is a feast day while every day in Lent is a fast day. The spirit of Lent should be more rigidly ob served this year than ever before in America from a m a terial as well as a material view point. Make it a time of patriotic sacrifice as well as a period of religious devotion and spiritual offering. Mrs. E. Jennie Peterson, teacher at N ew Era, has been allowed to resign. She refused to assist in the Thrift Stamp and W ar Stamp campaign because she does not believe in war and will have nothing to do with any movement connected with it. She went so far as to say she would not defend her children if they should be at tacked, if such defense involved bloodshed. Instead of allowing her to resign, the school board should have fired her bodily. American schools are! no place for teachers harboring such sentiments, and the sooner they are out the better. , Unde Sam is now making further demands of the farmers,'' with a view to next year’s returns. He Is urging that they Incregsefthelr production of live stock, especially o f cattle and hogs. The reason Is that several of our principal alfieq have almost ceased ;to produce on these lines. In Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium there are now 83,000,000 fewer head o f cattle, sheep and hogs than at the beginning of the war. Meanwhile the decrease in all other countries has amounted to more than 92,000,000 head — a total shrinkage in meat animals alone of 115,000,000 head. So the farmer must not weary in well-doing, but must continue in 1918 the place .he set for himself in 1917, says St. Joseph (Mo.) News-Press. And mean while the housekeeper can greatly help by so planning her meals as to serve .more of the foods not suited to export, ;and less o f the foods that could be jsent abroad. Teutonic militarism would doubtless look With contemptuous amazement at the American idea of discipline, which, as in! a case in South Carolina, would hold an officer to account for giving a privajte a blow. In the former system that sort o f discipline is not only al lowed, but is also commended. To beat up the inferior class Is part of the di- ' vine right o f autocratic authority. M arks of a G reat Man. There are, between the ages of thir ty-five and fifty-five years, a vast num ber o f people in America who 1 are hoarding and accumulating fat enough to supply energy equivalent to that of 690,355,533 loaves of bread, enough to shpply an army of 3,000,000 men for 60 days. This is according to statis tics gathered by the life insurance com panies. A man who is 40 pounds over weight is carrying on his body the equivalent in fuel value of 135 one- pound loaves of bread. If the guilty ones would cease this accumulation (which they are willing enough to do) it would release much-needed fuel foods, such as wheat, corn, oats, barley and rye. There are two ways of sur rendering the fat. One is by judicious exercise and the other is by substitut ing other foods for the fat-building kinds. A really great man is known by three signs—generosity in the design, humanity in the execution and modera tion in success.-Bismarck. DR. de LESPINASSE Some London diplomats, still cheered by the obsession that Germany can be starved, are chortling over the reduc tion <Jf the flour allowance to seven pounds a week. Plenty— if the seven pounds are put into certain dumplings or. doughnuts we have met. It is a psychological fact that many folk think they are being fed when chewing on any old thing. The merciful man is merciful to his beast. Extra care should be taken of the working horses this weather, par ticularly in the matter of securing them as far as possible from falling on the Icy streets. Humanity in this cáse is economy as well, as this care will save many dollars In the shape of horseflesh and animal labor. Every business man, every man, every woman, should have a bank account.
