In tho Coburg ... Elsie Anderson West Springfield vrun xjuckuco THE MAGIC OF KERENSKY. Russia Is awakening from her German-made slumber. With the awaken " lng comes rejuvenation. Tho death knell of the Bolshevists was sounded by themselves when they accepted n German-made peace. Korensky, the first Premier of the new-born repub lic following the overturning of. tho monarchy, and who was later deposed, Is on his way to Archangel, for the purpose of cementing strong forces to throw off the yoke of oppression of enemies from within and without. ' Kerensky, during his brief tenure of power, proved himself a capable leader, and If anyone can bring order from out of that chaotic mass of hu manity, he Is tho logical man. The allies have enough confidence In him to back him up with all the material assistance necessary to heal the wounds of the once mighty Russian bear and send him hurtling once more at his old enemies and their pro-ally tho Boleshevtkl: Germany, fearful ot losing the economic advantages she has gained by cramming the Brest-Lltovsk treaty down the throat of Russia, has sent forces to occupy Petrograd and to aid In what must prove a futile attempt to bolster up the crumbling Bolshe vikL TWIN SISTERS OF PROGRESS. Irrigation and Drainage! "What a conservation of the produc ing forces of natuto Is stored away'In those two vital fundamentals. This is peculiarly true of Lane coun ty where, in most localities, with the exception of some bottom land, a lit tle of both 1b seeded to secure proper results. But where we have been trying to "get along" without either, while conscious that we needed one or both. It is pretty generally conceded that we have arrived at the point where we must employ both agencies to maintain progress. Alfalfa, the king of cow feeds, thrives only in the natural moisture of our bottom land. In sections ot Lane county not properly drained, the alfalfa root sours. In sections that comprise the bulk of the acreage In the county, a little irrigation would produce a luxuriant growth of alfalfa, and the feed problem. Irrespective of war or peace conditions, would bo ' solved. Wo are coming to it gradually, but ; the scope of such operations are not yet broad enough or general enough to reap the rich harvest that awaits , the man who sees what should be i done and promptly steps boldly forth to do It RUSSIA WAKING UP. Tho British government has Issued a declaration formally recognizing the Czocho-Slovaks as an allied nation and the three Czecho slovak armies aB an allied force regularly waging warfare against the central powers. Recognition by the British govern ment of fhi nzoolin-RlnvnV nn riti ItiHp. pendent allied nation arrayeu against I the central powers follows similar action by Italy and France. The Czecho slovaks are regarded as ono of the most powerful of tho peo ple in Austria-Hungary. They inhabit a long stretch of territory on tho southern boundary of Germany and their representatives in tho entente capitals have contended that the es tablishment of an independent Cze-cho-Slovak nation after the war would sot up a barrier between Germany and Austria and dissipate tho pan German dream of an open road from Berlin to Bagdad. PARADES AND PATRIOTISM Never before have Americans wit nessed more numerous and Inspiring parades than have been held In the months Just passed. In all parts of the country, men and women, old nnd young, rich and poor, black and white, hove been forming processions for the purposo of arousing interest in tho master or preparedness. In New York there was a monstrous preparedness parade which Included over 150,003 clttxotiB, whllo tn Chicago there was another almost as largo. Similar demonstrations on a scalo equally Imposing In proportion to tho num ber ot Inhabitants wore inado tn many other cities. In tho ctty of Washing ton, Flag Day (Juno 14) was celebra ted by n parade which offered ono ot tho grandest spectacles over witnessed at tho National Capital. Amid a sea of waving flags an army of nearly GO.000 men, women and children marched, up Pennsylvania avonuo from tho Capital to tho White Head. At I procession were the leading men ot .tno innu. more woro JuURea oi tno Supreme Court ot tho Unltod States, members of tho Cabinet, and many Senators and Representatives from th'o halls ot Congress. In tho orderly throng were business men, working men, and citizens from every line of occupation. One division consisted cf children from tho public schools. Tho main purpose qt most ot thoia demonstrations has boon to awaken Interest In the subject ot prepared- noss. In all parts ot tho country thcro aro people who feol that wo ought toD'0C'c- havo a stronger army and navy, and theso citizens have turned out nnd marched In these parades In order to call attention tn n striking manner to these, as they believe, urgent needs of the nation. That tho demonstra tions havo dono much for tho causo of prepardeness cannot be denied. But thoy havo dono something else they have aroused the American spirit and have kindled tho fires of genuine pa triotism. The sight of so many flags has caused citizens to reflect to the true meaning ot our glorious banner. What is this true meaning ot tho American flag? "Tho flag is the sym bol of the nation's power; the emblem ' ot freedom in its truest and best sense. To all lovers of tho country It signifies government resting on tho consent of the governed; liberty regulated by law; the protection of the weak against the strong; security against the exercise of arbltray power; and absolute safety for freo institutions against foreign aggression." With a million and a quarter of men in Trance ready to "go ini" wo have madq a beginning toward prepared ness. Wo have learned our military lesson and will no doubt, as long as a nation like Germany infests the earth, never again be caught In a deplorablo state of unpreparedness. "Experience is a good teacher, but the school fees are heavy." The easiest Job a newspaper man has is to publish a live paper when there- is something happening every minufe HThls town. But believe us, gentle reader, it's a dog's life when nothing happens. Be sparing with your criticism. "Massifs," the new word that now appears, in our vocabulary from "over there," will scarcely attain the popu larity of "camouflage." We could ap ply camouflage to most anything and it would "fit" without adjustment. "The Mystery of the C," while not a marine tale, is one that should be told to a marine. "Here'B to our country may she ever be right but our country right or wrong." Hop Pickers In Demand. Owing to the fact that there are so many places to be filled in town this year because so many of the boys and men have gone to tho call of the colors there arevery- few hop pickers this year. Many of the farmers who have had very large hop yards In the past have planted the land in some other cron this vear. hut linvn nnmn hnm. tn yet .and some of tho largest hop yards like the Seavey will suffer greatly on account of lack of pickera, The Sea vey hop yard is one of the largest In the country and people come from great distances to pick in these yards. Other smaller yards are unablo to get enough pickers. Before this year many of tho families went on their va cations in the hop yards, but there are many places whore they can get em- p,oyment th,s year and thl9 w,n 1(een them from their regular summer nt picking hops. The pickers this year j will be mostly younger people and the old people who cannot work in the mills and their families. All that wish to pick can easily And a place , where they will have good picking anil j a good price for their labor. i This is a very painful and dangerous disease. In almost overy neighbor- hood someone has died from it bofore mediclno could be obtained or a phy sician summoned. Tho right way is to have a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house so ub to bo prepared for It. Mrs. Charles Enyeart, Huntington, Ind writes: "During the summer of 1911 two of my children were taken sick with cholera morbus. 1 used Cham berlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy and it gave them immediate relief." adv Boost for the' Sprlngflold News.

Then In this very column two weekB ago wo reflected upon our good Judg ment In being born early enough tn life to escape the draft; When an unfeeling congress, far from the firing line, without any "con sent of the governed," hopped into the fracas and raised tho draft age to 45 years. This caught us along with about 12, 909.999 other patriots with a slim alibi and a state of "unpreparedness" not calculated to face the giim vlsago of war with that spirit of effrontery that one must wear to thoroughly upset the strategical skill of tho enemy. "iThen as we paused In the heyday; of our busy career long enough to . read the news from tho front; It dawned upon us quite sudden like that our "morale" was a littlo shop-worn and, frayed , round Jthe edges; And not exactly adapted to win tho admiration and respect of the U. S. A. Marines to the extent that they would call us "comrade;" - jNor hear the Boche Joyfully cry "Kamerad" when they saw us com ing. But we believe, as we go to press, that with tho aid of about four gal lons of Tanlac (for sale by John Ketel) and a bite of Mrs. Van Val zah's Dill Pickles that have a yellow streak on the outside but are full of "morale," or something on tho Inside, that we can be keyed up to tho point where With grim determination as tho lodestar we will got across No Man's Land somehow, Into tho heart of the enemy's coun try . And win the war. Amusement. Even though wo nro at war and we must Hoovorlze we must have some omuBement. Tho world without amusement would bo a sad old placo to live in no laughs and no smlies. At present porhnps the best amuse ment offered is at tho movies. Wo now have a movie show which somo have missed a great deal sinco It stopped a short time ago, but is now offering very good pictures. In all of the cities the chief amusement offered at the movies, becauso thero nro 80 ninny of tho good actresses. and actors, singers, speakers and proml nont men w,, avo acted for tho motion pictures bo that nil may enjoy them, and nof only those who have the mp,1nH and opportunity to go to tho opera houee and theatre.

Picture Cpmpnny. "Tho Winnfng of Beatrice" Is a story of business and a mbdern girl. It shows that women may bo a busi ness Buccess without loss of her femi nine charm of womanliness.
