BERRY PICKING ' IS URGED Evergreens in iBIg i 'Demand This Year The demand for evergreen black berries is going to be greater this year than it has ever been before, accord ing to J. O. Holt, manager of the Eugene cannery. He says that the plant wil be able to handle any amount and that the price to be paid will be four cents per pound at the begin ning. The people are urged to plan for a harvest of the berries this year be cause we must have large quantities. This can be done by getting a repres entative in each locality where the berries grow to agree to haul them in every day. Baptist Church Sunday school at 10 A. M. Preach ing at 11 A. M.

Walter Bailey, pastor. Fire In Timber The fire in the timber near Mabel has been spreading considerably the last few days on accout-of wind. A great deal of smoke lias clouded the atmosphera'here from the East where the fire Is burning. It has gotten into a largo tract of timber but It is thought that it has not burned any of the marketable timber so. far. New Clerk at Bank L. C. Hulln formerly cashier of the Lane County bank of .Eugene, has been elected cashier of the First National Bank here. Mr. Hulln has been prom inent In financial affairs in Eugene for a number of years. " Barley Not Regulated This years barley crop will not be regulated or handled' by the United States food administration, aa announ ced by the administration. According to reports many of the farmers are holding their barley hoping to get tho price they received last year. Red Cross Open Fourth The Eugene, Red Cross headquarters will be.operi ali.day,the Fourth for the use of the visiting auxiliaries.

UNABLE-TO UNDERSTAND-IT Frenefimen Gathered 1 in Group' to Watch American, Who Waa Actually Drinking Water. Wllllnm Allen White tell In the Book News Monthly how thirsty he been me for water, Just common, plain wnter, on n motor Journey through' France, where It was not safe, for sanitary reasons, to drink tho water of the region. The coffee did not taste good and the wine tasted like diluted vinegar and looked like pokeborry Ink. It seemed only good to put In fountain pens. Finally, at the end of a week he and his party stopped at a hotel where there was bottled water brought from the American commis sary department. When he came to the table he ordered a bottle and this Is what he says of It: "Try going seven days on pokeber ry Ink and boiled coffee yourself and note the reaction. Your veins will be dry; your stomach will crnckle as It grinds the food. The wnter In thnt bottle, a quart bottle, evaporated. They brought another. It disappeared. They brought a third. The waiters In the hotel were attracted by the sight. No Frenchman ever drinks water with his meals, and the spectacle of this American sousing himself with water while he' ate as a rare sight. The waiters gathered In, the corner to watch me. Henry saw them, and mo tioned toward me", and tapped his fore head. They went and brought other waiters and -men from the bar: He was n rnre .bird;' this American go ing on iblgr drunk on water. So they peered Indoors, through- windows and stood In the .dining, room corners to watch the fourth Ijottle go down. And when at the end of thoracal the Amer ican' rose, and walked" through 1 tho crowd they mode' way for him. A ileSf Derate, man at leaRt commands respect whatever his delusion may be." WHAT WRINGS FRENCH HEART . t . J I , Noxious.. Weeds, .OrowJng tin Former' Highly "Cultlvsted Fields Cause of Real Agony. .Agricultural loss. Is not confined to northern France. The very high level of Intensive productivity of the soli In general was everywhere due to two factors which war has largely elimi nated: humani labor nnd chemical fer tilization. Indeed, the spectacular fea tures of agricultural destruction In the departments evacuated Jnst spring gaping shell holes, crumbling trenches, barbed wire trailing like some rusty snake across the fields, even the fruit trees cut down to the level of the soli look less sinister to the Freueh eye thnn the miles and miles, the thou sands and thousands of acres of rich whent and beet sugar In ml untouched by fire and sword, yet grown wnlst hlgh with the thistles, brambles and every other sort of pestilential weed; the apple trees full of great bunches of mistletoe. Before the war a French farmer was haled Into court by his neighbors nnd fined for nllowlng this tles In his fields nnd the mistletoe In his orchnrd remember this nnd you will get an echo of the tragic reson ance that the phrase "terres abandon nees" has In the French heart. New Republic. Bank Responsible for Error. An Interesting decision has been made by the Missouri court of appeals, relative to holding the sender of a telegram reponslble for a mistake in transmission. A Wyoming bank tele- j graphed n brokerage house, offering a carload of potatoes nt $1.35 a hundred pounds. The telegraph company's mis-, tike In transmission made the price 3.r ' cents a hundred. The supposed offer wns accepted by the brokers and (he potatoes were shipped. When payment was tendered at the rate f 35 cents a I hundred the Wyoming bnnk refused to accept the money and brought suit for the full amount. The Missouri , court of appeals ruled that the bnnk hail made the telegraph company Its agent In forwarding the telegram nnd that ns the brokwnge house acted 5n good faith it could not be compelled to pay more than the amount quoted In the message. State. Protects War Gardens. The supreme Judicial court of Mas- i sachusetts held, in the case of Com- ! momrcalth vs. Galhitn, that where n j landlord terminated a tenancy nt will j of -city lots, the tenant was entitled to ) growing crops as against the landlord i and n subsequent lessee with knowl edge of the first tenancy. The court said; "Tho general prin ciple is that where a person is in pos session of land under a title that may be determined by an uncertain event not within his control, It Is essential to the Interests of agriculture that such a termination of tils lease shall not prevent hlro reaping what he 1ms sown and we see no reason why a tenant should be denied the right to emblements by the net of the land lord where the crop Is raised on a city lot rather than on a farm." Labor-Saving Devices. Whether conditions nfter the war will be better or worse, for the aver age man in the United Stntes, thnn they were before the war Is a ques tion that cunnot be decided until the wur has been over for some time, says the Christian Science Monitor, Qmn mw Higns ure, however, appearing here and there. For example, somebody bus Invented n device which enables one mao to do two men's wood sawing. This does not look encouraging, bul perhaps t will be compensated fur v (he Invention of a device wjilch will enable two tyatlenl unci Industrious mon to fill nut one man's Income ttn blank. AMERICA MAKES-GOOD Hoover's Hopes Are Exceeded Remarkable Results at End, of Food Administration's First . Year Proves Voluntary System Was No Mistake Confidence That People Will Con tlnuo Patriotic Conservation Efforts U Felt at Washington. W. B, Ayor, Federal Food Adminis trator for Oregon, earnestly directs attention to some excerpts from a re cent official summary, at the' end 6f its first year's worki of the United States Food Administration's alms, methods and results. Those excerpts are given below: "When the U. S. Food Administra tion undertook the work of conserving ami mobilizing America's, food re sources, there were three methods of approach possible in handling tht problem, these methods of control bo lng rationing, high prices and volun tary effort. The Three Systems. "The Introduction of rationing Into th country would have resulted In an inevitable re-actlon. R would also mean a tremendous expenditure. Or the basis of tho rationing system adopted by European countries for certain staple foods, It would require 14.800,000 a year for the printing of the. necessary ration cards; it would demand one official for every 1,000 families to take oare of distribution undor th's system; in fact, or; the European basis, about $45,000,000 a year would be required to administer the rationing system In this country. "Control of consumption by high prices was obviously too unfair to merit consideration in such a country as ours, meaning as. It must, conserva tion tor the rich at the expense of the pod "The vpluatary system, based upon education and publicity (the third al ternattve), was selected because of the moderate expense Involved,- and because.ot the opportunity It afforded to use the great desire of loyal Amer icans to serve their country. Results Enormous. "The results of the voluntary control of food have been enormous. The sur plus of the 1917-1S wheat crop, based on normal consumption, would have been 20,000,000 bushels. It the present rate of saving by the American people continues, we shall be able to deliver to our Allies from this crop possibly 170,000,000 bushels of wheat, of which 150,000.000 will represent the volun tary savings of tho American people. This delivery of wheat has enabled the Allies to meet the more Immediate and pressing bread needs of their peo ple, and to keep up the bread ration of their soldiers. "As to our exports of meat, the re sults of conservation are even more remarkable. The analysis of figures fn regard to hogs indicates that we were 5,000,000 to 7,000,000 hogs short when the conservation campaign was started. Before the war, the average monthly export of hog products was about 50,000,000 pounds. In March, 1918, we exported 300,000,000 pounds and can see our way clear, with the present saving and production, to, go forward at this rate for an indefinite period. Before 1914, we were export ing from 1.000,000 to 6,000,000 pounds of beef per month. After the Euro pean war began, there was an in crease to about 23,000,000 per month. Now, we are exporting at the rate of 130,000,000 pounds of beef per month and, with the continuation of conser vation and production.- there is no reason to anticipate a material reduc tion In these figures. Great Offensive Needed, "The winning of the war depends mpon the development of great offen sive strength on the part of the United States, This offensive must Include ships, men, supplies aud food. With the Increase in the sizo of our Army, thero is a necessary decrease In our productive capacity. ' Harvests are bound to vary with seasonal condi tions. "The only safe procedure for us and for the Allies Js to provide enormous reserve stocks ,'.of stuplo foods, both here and In Europe, to meet any emer gency which 'may arise. In a later period of the war, to have to stop in a critical phase of It In order t6 itut unusual emphasis upon agricultural production, might be fatal to our final success. "Thero must be no let-down In the program of conservation until tho new harvest. Heartened by our success and by the spirit of devotion and self sacrifice shown by the American poo plo, we must go ahead more thafeever convinced of our responsibility to those who fight with us and to those unfortunate peoples who look to us as the one source of the food supply necessary to keep them from destruc tion. 0 In France and England. "The American Labor Mission Jnst home from Lon lon, was appointed by President Wlls'-n to make a study of conditions In E iglund and France. 01 its nlnetoen m tracers, nine are from tho American Federation of Labor, two of whpm a e vo nen. The others represent ever;' sec ,1 element of the American poop e. r tis mission made a comprehensive r Ay of conditions In the Allied coti. ties, and before leavlug l.ondc:' fo America, issued the following stc atent rcganUng food 'conditions: " 'Snco landing 'r fogUnd, all mem bers of the coram: e have visited a numbor of cities id Interviewed a large jiumbfr of ) Jlo regarding tin food sttuutio.: i U as other mat- tint war. and we feel It r duty to impress upon-tho' Amer lean peoplo the faqt,thRtiUey. ehould endeavor to conserve food, in a largor measure, that we may supply tho peo ple of the Alllad countries with Ufa I.I..... .................. ... lt. .inl.ninna There is no doubt that tho noonlo of Great Britain and the Allied countries are making untold sacrifices, than America realizes.'
