Now what causes overhead ex commence. No. tlermany can never convince pense to I* so high in Oregon’ High the world but that she alone pi ssrs i i- taxes and sparse population Sparse ed the powvr to say whether or not population makes high taxes and there should tie war. And when we high taxes makes sparse population. If we had more people «nd indus note her activities with air ships and sulHiiarines. her ruthless an<> tries in Oregon then the tax of each unnecessary destruction of property, person and each industry would he both on sea and land, we are driven leaa. If we had lower taxes in Ore to the conclusion that she has en gon we would have more people and deavored bi make the war aa terrible more industries. It must be plain as possible with the idea, possibly, to everyone that if high taxes drive that her enemies would the sooner out industries and people, then lower get tired of war and «ue for peace texes would attract Industrie« and Now Germany w-ems ready for settlers. We hear lota of complaint about peace and would consider proposi tions to that end. She, evidently, the lack of industries in Oregon and has conclud«! that «h«- has reach«*»! the high water mark in mvaaion and Is in a position to make larger de mand for indemnity than she will be later on. The neutral countries, too. would be glad to sea peace de clared. But It is doubtful if either England, Fran«- or Russia wujld agr«-»- to the terms and conditions which Germany would now demand Therefore, any effort to now bring about i«-a«- will be futile. ^Mr. Ford's «hip load of peace advocates, may g»*t the l«-lliger«*ntii to think al«>ut bow d«-urabls would ba cares for his field crops, his slock of all kinds, his gardens, etc. ami it pays.

Do vou know that; you are violating the law when you | allow a fruit tree u> go. year after j year, without the use of the pruning ' knife or the spray pump? Yet such ■ is the case TYie lal>»r dcvot«i in the care of the orchard, dues not materially interfere with other farm work and if the farmer can do it himself, th«- product is nearly clear profit Of course, market conditions are not. as a rule, as we would have them Where fruit is shipped, the middle man exacts too much profit ami the farmers get loo little.

At all ev«*nts, it will pay to take care of the orchard, even fur the satisfaction of having good wholesome fruit for family use It is impossible for s public offi cial .especially the president of the United Slates, to please everybody.

It is not stet«i that Car- | ranza endorsed such action by his soldiers, nor that President W ilaon knew >>f such action, when he offi- the encroachment of mail order houses >>n the busmens of Oregon merchants. We have only ourselves to blame, if those who are com plaining so bitterly would use the same amount of energy in getting lower taxes they would accomplish the desired result. If Oregon mer chants who complain about the farmer buying from mail order . houses would work as hard forjcially recognised Carranza aa the economy in public expenditure es defacto head of the Mexican govern does the farmer, than overhead ex ment.
