Goshen, Orogon, January 13, 1917. 1 understand that ho Lano county agricultural olllcer, has resigned and can mako mora on a farm. Ho will have to havo a very good farm, In order to ralso his salary of $1500, per year,' clear of expense, which Is equal to 12S, por month. This is twice as much as tho uvorago farmer clears por month. I am unwilling to holp sup. port any olllca without nny stipulated duty; and an ofllco which can bo dis pensed with, as our watchword now is, "Economy." Each farmer has different-problems to meat and It tak es money to meet thorn. Wo must eliminate all tho surplus offices which can bo eliminated.

"To tako tho lowest reason first," ho continued, "wo are dependont largely ou America for munitions of war and for tho import of many things on which our oxlstanco depends. America is tlio other half of tho English-speaking pcoplo, and It is tho most freoly democratic country In tho world. America" wants to bo friendly with us, and 1 think wo should cultlvato that friendship and tako tho hand sin holds out to us. Therefore I welcome that appeal by the President and I want to uso it in such a way as to develop tho existing friend ship which I hopo will always exist. Kl should like to sco something dono in the way of making our general terms, or tho general objects for which wo aro in this war, more widely known to the American people. Wo should go. further than sending people over to America, Wo should accept tbo Invita tion of tho American President to toll him, at any rate, what our terms or objects are. Whether they should bo made public is another matter.' 1 should let the- President be under no misapprehension as to our general objects, positive and negative, and I attach as much importance to tho ono as to tho othor. "Ho should bo assured that tills country is not ono to smash tho Germans, Germany, or any ono or anything except military power and military pride. Wo aro out to smash that, and we aro out to smash it not only in Germany,, we aro out to smash it everywhere, so that this war may, if possible, bo tho last of all wars. "1 think he may be told of our ncgativo objects and assured that wo havo no Idea in this war of increasing our territory or power, or anything of tho kind. Wo should ceaso to talk to the President in rhetorical terms. To him weipught to be a little more exploit, and we ought to tell him in precise, matter-of-fact proposition what wo wont before wo can start to talk about poaco terms or enter into negotiations." 5 IN 11 DAYS HERE Twin Babies; Little Girl, Woman And Old Gentleman Pass Away.
