Grace, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Brown of this city, was drowned in Willow creek some time Sunday morning after she had wandered away from home. The body was found just below the bridge at the end of Center street by E. M. Shutt, Leo Nicholson and Jasper Crawford, who formed one of the many parties that had gone out in search for the little girl. The'gen eral supposition is that Bhe fell In the creek while playing under the May street bridge. It was about 10:30 when Mrs. Brown first missed the little girl and she began looking for her at once. It now appears that Grace had fol lowed the two old'er children off when they left for Sunday school, getting some distaste from home be fore being sent back by tho other children. Tho funeral was held on Monday afternoon from the Federated church, Rev. H. A. Noyes saying the last sad rites over the body of tho departed. Burial was mado In Masonic cemetery. S1SUH FOR CANNING SEASON War'Time Recipes lrepared By Dom estic Science Class. (By Katherine Anderson.) It is particularly necessary at this time for us to save sugar in our cooking so that we may have enough for the caning season. The food ad ministrator asks us to use sugar sub stitutes as far as possible to sweeten our food. The sugar substitutes that we ought to use are corn syrup, mo lasses, honey and brown sugar.

CHARLES L MGNARY Canada Thistle Causes Heavy Grain Losses Being A PeiTeniiil It Propagates hj Roots as Well as Seeds College Will Help Control. Corvnllls, Ore., May 8. "The greatest loss to grain crops In our district is by Canada thistle," writes D. F. Burge, Route 2, Albany, Ore gon, to Prof. II. P. Barss, botanist at the O. A. C. Experiment Station. Mr. Burge is a reporter of the Ore gon crop disease survey and informa tion service, and says that while the the greater number of farmers fight the thistle all the time it is a great nuisance. The Canada thistle Is distinguished from bull thistle and others princi pally by Its clusters of small flowers and more crinkled leaves, which are covered with a great many small, short Bpines. Being a perrenial, It propagates it self by its underground parts as well as by seed. The root, which varies in size from a small rootlet up to a quarter of an inch or more, spreads in all directions, at a depth of a few inches to a few feet below the sur face, depending on the kind of soil. From any point In the root, buds may form and send up new shoots that form new plants. Shoots in all sta ges of development can be found during the growing season. The Canada thistle Is generally in troduced by seeds, which are carried by wind, wnter and birds, and In grass, clover and small grain seed, especially oats. Methods of eradication must be suited to the conditions on the farm. Being in touch with many growers who have been successful the Col lege la In a position to give any far mer Information that will enable him to eliminate this weed In the shortest time and at least expense. The Experiment Station will glad ly identify specimans of plants sent t0 ?. s Because United States Senator Charles L. McNary has made good he should be nominated to succeed himself in the Republican Primary, May 17th. From the day he became Senator he has loyally championed the pro secution of the war, and during his term of office has accomplished more for Oregon than any other member of Congress in a like period. Among his colleagues he Is known as "the man on the job," and during the present war crisis Oregon should consider itself fortunate In having an opportunity to return him and not be compelled to send to Washing ton, a new, untrained man. BeHeving that the supreme obli gation he owes his country is to help win the war, Senator McNary, in stead of returning to his state to conduct a political campaign, is at his post in Washington working .for Oregon and aiding in the prosecution of the war. Always since enering the Senate he has been a friend of our soldiers and has introduced legislation giv ing them preferential homestead rights and repeatedly championed their cause when their welfare was In jeopardy. Championing the cause of the Oregon Farmers, Senator McNary procured for. them a primary wheat market, saving thereby several mil lion dollars to the wheatgrowers of-j the Northwest. Realizing the present Food Con rol Law fails to fix prices for many commodities, Senator McNary has Introduced, and Is laboring for the passage of a bill, striking at profit eering and fixing prices on the ne cessaries of life., . Senator McNary has procured: ' . Government contracts for the first time in the State's history for Oregon products, such as prunes, dehydrat ed potatoes and vegetables in large quantities. Large Government contracts for Army clothing and shipbuilding yards. Favorable action by the senate comittee on irrigation on a bill pro viding for the government market ing of district irrigation bonds, there by supplying funds for irrigation projects. Favorable action from same com mittee on a bill authorizing the Sec retary of the Interior to accent irri gation or drainage district bonds ami exchange them with the Secre tary of the Treasury for certificates of indebtedness, thereby providing funds for ligitimale projects. Senator McNary is working: For prompt payments of allot ments to dependent relatives of our soldiers and sailors. For the construction of a coast military highway at Government ex pense. A comprehensive plan for the util izations of the water resources of Ore gon. Senator McNary was born on a farm in Oregon; reared in the Bap tist Church; enducated In the public schools; worked his way through Stanford University; Is a lawyer and farmer and has been a life long He publican. He was formerly a Justice of the Supreme Court and later chairman of the State Republican Central Committee. Space forbids further enumeration of the vast amount of work Senator McNary has done for Oregon, but anyone will realize from the forego ing the Senator has displayed truly remarkable ability, coupled with ex traordinary diligence and energy. His native State can best show its appreciation of his faithful and elll clent services by nominating and el ecting him. THOMAS B. KAY, State Treasurer. B. W. SLEEMAN, Bus.
