mondson, assistant professor of

the nation's meat supply. He de
clares the clam Is as palatable
ns the oyster and has a similar
food value.

Tills suggestion comes as tho re
sult of n survey he made recent

the edtblc species of shellfish, to
find where they may be obtained
In quantities and to perfect a
roeuns of co-operating with those

Hours; Landed at Port
on Irish Coast
Mr. and Mrs. J. 1. Pry ot1 tftla city
recotvod a letter froift their sod Floyd
Pry who waB on tho Tuscanlo. when
It was torpedoed off Uio Irish coast
February 6th. x '
Tho letter follows:
Fobruary'1018.
Dear Father hnd Mothers ;
I htu soniowhoro in Ireland. This
IS sure a pretty country, l am in a
hospital in Northern Ireland. They
havo somo nlco little Irish nurses
here and wo sura are treated fine.
Wo were torpedoed and our boat
sunk off tho Irish coast, Was picked
up by a patrol boat Was in tho wa
tor about flvo hours. Gee, but It was
cold. The life boat I was In had the
back end all Jarred up from lowering
It from the big boat. Tho waves
came right In, but we made it alright.
I have not seen Edward Burgeols
sinco we were struck by the torpedo,
but I think he was saved, picked up
and landed at another port In Ireland.
We are scattered all over. They aro
going to tako some of us out of tho
hospital to somo other place.
I'm reeling fine. Most all tho boys
are all right again, but some ot us
have got tho mumps. I am pver mine.
I had them on the night wo were
struck by tho torpedo. Wo were tor
pedoed in tho night It sure was aw
ful The big boat stayed up about four
hours after It was struck. I left about
Ian hour after it had been struck. Wo
'could see her go down from our life
I boat
Well, folks, I will close for this
time. This country Is llko Oregon
lots of rain and green grass. It sure
is pretty and some of the prettiest
Irish girls you ever Baw. It sure
makes you laugh to hear them, talk.
Love to all.
FLOYD.

FooiTc
French Canines Are Likely to Be
"Hooverized."
Feeding Has Become Serious Problem
Great Shortage In Gasoline and .
Tobacco.
Paris, The dog population of the
republic bus been living, fighting nnd
suffering with the liuinnn population
In resisting the German octopus, and
is now about to be restricted by
"curds" along with the humans.
The latest system to be announced
Is that, following the demands of the
Agricultural Society of Mdullns, the
Kor'erninent Is considering the Intro
duction of a bread curd for dogs, n
card that will entitle dogs doing use
ful work for the country to their
proportionate share of dog biscuit.
Since tho first of the month an
other discommoding scheme 1ms tnken
effect. No gasoline can he sold, even
for domestic uses, such as lighting,
heating or cooking. The government
stilted energetic . measures had to bo
taken, In view of the fact that the
stocks of gasoline were 'almost ex
hausted nnd It would bo ilangernin
to permit them to become further
depicted.
A ruder shock for tho entire male
population of France, which smokes
almost to a man ufter reaching the
nge of twelve, came with the publi
cation of the news that there was no
more tobacco to be had. Imported
English tobaccos are still to be ob
tained In limited quantities, but the
price Is prohibitive to tho average
Frenchman.
The reasons given for the tobacco
shortage are the increased consump
tion by the soldiers In the trenches
and the decreased production and Im
portation, due to the lack of bottoms.
A good deal has been said about
the establishment of a tolMicco card,
but the government has suggested
that a system of voluntary rationing
be first tried out If this is unsuccess
ful nothing will remain but the addi
tion of one more curd to the rapidly
growing list.
Land Submarines
Effectively Held
Sagerats, Craydiggers, Moles,
Jackrabbits Scattered by
Co-operative Attack
Oregon farmers are making a con
certed and sustained attack on the
land pirates sagerats, graydlggers
and moles that promises greatly to
reduce their annual toll, estimated by
the United States Biological Survey
at two million dollars a year ,n Ore
gon. Like their prototypes of the
cea, the Hun subs, these field subma
rines destroy tho results of the labor
of mankind, and in this way may
properly be classed as pro-German.
The campaign against these ro
dents, as well as the Jackrabbits, was
conducted by tho farmers in co-ouera-tidn
with county agricultural agents
specialists of the U, S, Ulolglcal Sur
vey. County courts also Joined forces
with these agencies In somo instances,
and by thus working forether better
results were obtained at much less
cost Heretofore, farmers working
individually found that If they drove
tho pests from their own fields a new
supply was sure to come next season
from their neighbors' fields.
An area of 450,000 acres was
covered with 70,000 pounds of pols
onod grain In Eastern and Southern
Oregon counties. More than 3,000
mole pelts were marked ann averago
of 22 cents each by county agents ot
the Willamette valley, and the coast
counties. In C61umbla county tho
agont reports that COO mole skins sold
by him at 26 cents, with an additional
profit of 10 cents each as a bounty.
All told tho court of Columbia county
-aid bounties on 1,500 skins.
Poison clubs wero organized to buy
and mix the poisons most efficiently,
ind systematize tho spreading. In
some Instances granges bought traps
and sold them to the boys on install
ment. Cno boy In tho Santa Clara
district sold moro than $G0 worth of
skins.
