Properly spread, straw acts as a, mulch on Call seeded crops. It pre vents soil blowing, prevents winter killing, prevents winter sleet from smoth ering plants and when turned under it has almost as much fertilizing value as manure. Spread your straw come in and get a John Deere Spreader with Straw Spreading attachment Get double use and double prof it from it The John Deert Spreader with a Straw Spreading Attachment spreads straw and spreads manure does a fine, even job in either case. One man operates the John Deere either when spreading straw or manure. After the machine is loaded, get on the seat, put the ma chine in gear, start the team or tractor, set the machine for heavy or light spread ing as conditions require1 that's all To take off the Straw Spreading Attachment fcr manure spreading is only a 30-minute job for one man. The change is quickly and easily made.

Washington, July 29. Revelation o secret treaties between Japaa and Germany In 1918, iy which they era to divide Russia between them ana Germany was to be helped to an at tack upon the gateway to British pos sessions in India, has startled the Senate. The texts of the documents, which were placed in the record by Senator Ledge, have made an even greater sensation in view of the President's willingness at Versailles to placate Japan by giving her the Shantung peuinsula in order to gain her sup Dort for the league of nations cov enant. Benign and altruistic is the word ing of the Insidious pact wheh de clares that "both high contracting parties bind themselves as soon as he world situation permits to help he third party, Russia, to obtain un der their direction the settlement of her Internal affairs and the position of a world power." This is taken here o mean that one would have taken iver Siberia in accordance with her ambition to dominate all of Asia, and he other would have taken European Russa in accordance with Hohenzol- ern ambition. Germany, prior to her recent de mise as a world power, had had a de sire to supplant Russia as the antag- nist of the British Empire on the fghanlstan frontier and eventually eize India. This explains the word ing of the second paragraph of the reaty: "One of the high contrasting parties, Japan, binds herself to allow he other high contracting party, Germany, the enjoyment of the per- ogatives growing out of her treaties vith the third party, Russia, as far as oncerns Central Asia and Persia, and assist in the conclusion of a most- :'avored-natlon treaty with mutual (reciprocal) guarantees between the hird power and the two contracting parties." It was only the revolution .n Germany which prevented the car- ylng out of the terms and their ex posure through the seizure of the pa )ers. Thus it Is seen that Japan has been playing against the cause of the Allies xni with their enemy, Germany, tc mbdue a country, Russia, with which .hey have also been at war. China was the friendly ally of the United jtates and Great Britain in the war. ret to please Japan and get its con sent to Join the league fo nations, Shantung is given to Japan after be ing wrested from China, with whlcl. both Great Britain and United States had treaties to respect her terrltoria integrity. Furthermore, In January 1917, Great Britain informed China jf the "support, frlsndship and soli darity" of His Majesty's Government.

A button adopted by the National Executive Committee of the Ameri can Legion as the official emblem of the national organization of Ameri can veterans of the Great War will be distributed in a few days to local posts of the Legion throughout Orb gon. An enlarged design of the but ton, unless changed by the National convention at Minneapolis in Novem ber, will also be used as the basis for die official seal of the Legion. The button is three quarters of an inch in diameter. It consists of a cen tral small replica of the regulation oronze five pointed star discharge outton, surrounded by a narrow cir cular band of blue enamel, containing he words "American Legion" in gold letters. The button has a fluted gold 3dge. The central replica of the dis- harge button will be silver Instead jf bronze for members of the Legion Arho were wounded In the service. The necessary steps will be taken y the Legislative Committee of the . merican Legion, headed by former .enator Luke Lea of Tennessee and former Congressman Thomas W. MI1 er of Delaware, to have the emblem copyrighted and its use fully protect ed. In order to effectuate the resolu ions of the St. Louis meeting of the Vmerican Legion endorsing the prln Iples of land development as a means ,f rehabilitating returning soldiers, i committee of three members of the .iational Executive Committee wih make a thorough study of the subject f reclamation of arid, swamp and ut-over timber lands In co-operation vl.h the Secretary of the Interior.

Farmer Injured When Team Runs, A. Traitor, farmer on the Eph Es- kelson Meadow Brook farm, received severe injuries one day the past week while unhitching a team of horses from a wagon. The team started to run away and In the mixup that fol lowed, Mr. Trallor was tramped un der foot, receiving a fractured collar i bone and two broken ribs. Dr. Chick was called from Heppner and the In jured man Is now resting easy. Those Who Delay Orderin: Longer May Not Get Their Fuel Later On. The United States Geologl -nl Surve; announces from Washington the proli ability of another general coal short age next fall and winter. The an nouncement Is bused, the Survej states, upon a nation-wide study of conditions In the bituminous field Unless steps are taken at once, thr Survey says, to pluce the mines upon a basis of Increased production then Is every prospect of a repetition to some decree of the situation that pre vailed In the L'niteil States during the winter of 1917-18. The only way production can he stim ulated at the present time, It Is said, Is by placing orders with the mines for coal which will be needed later on. "Production during the first five months of the year," reads the statement, "fell 57,292,000 net tons, or approximately 25 below production during the firsl five months of 1918. Mines are produc ing coal now at the rate of from 8,000, 000 to 8,o00,000 tons a week. An aver age output of 10,700,000 tons a week roust be maintained from June 1 to January 1 next If the country's esti mated needs of 500,000,000 tous this year are to be met." Evil of Delayed Orders. At no time during this year has the rate of production approached the re quired tonnage. The tendency on the part of buyers to hold off placing their orders Is limiting production, as the mines cannot store coal at the point of production, and when the rush, of orders for the winter's needs conies next full there Is grave dunger thai the mines, with depleted labor forces and the probability of less adequate transportation, will be unuble to meet the demands. The result of such a sit uation would be an Insufficient supply for the requirements of domestic con sumers, public utilities and Industrial users generally. "II Is believed that requirements for this year," reads a Survey stntement to Fuel Administrator Garfield, "will be about 530,000,000 tons of bituminous coal, of which approximately 30.000,000 tone have been used from stocks accu mulated last year, leaving 500.000.000 tons to be produced. Of this 500,000, 000 tons 178,000,000 tons were produc ed during the first five months, leaving 822,000,000 tons to be produced in the remaining 30 weeks, or an average of 10,700,000 tons a week. "Thus far this year production has been at the rate of 8,200,fXI tons a week. In 1018 production was at the rate of 11,300,000 tons a week. "This production will be difficult of ac- comnllRhment The capacity of opernt Ing mines at the present time with labor now on the payroll Is about 10 lower than It was last year. This deficiency may be made up In part or wholly If the mines have orders sufficient to run them five or six days a week unless the threatened exodus of foreign-born labor occurs. May Be Car Shortage. "Present wage ngrement between perators and miners expire with the proclamation of peace by tne pres ident' A suspension of mining oper atlons while a new wage agreement Is being negotiated would, of course, serl ously Interfere with the production of coal and If It should occur during the fall would cause a panic among buyers and consumers of coal.' There is no use In gambling upon this or any other contingency, fnl ad ministration officials suy. The firm or Individual who wants to be sure of an adequate coal supply next winter run be certain by buying coal now. There Is no other way such assurance can be obtained. Transportation also promises to be 8 limiting factor If the flood tide of demand comes ut a time when the country's record crops ure being carried. In some ' districts It would appear certain that, notwitn- standing the utmost endeavors of I In? Railroad Administration and the mil izatlon of Us experience last fall, car shortage will be a. cause limiting huti ml nous coal production, and for tint reason It Is problematical whether the expected production of 500,000,000 tout can he attained this year. Shortage of labor ulrcady Is a fac tor that Is cutting down (he output In some coal producing sections, accord Ing to the Survey's report. The opera tors report that from 3(1000 to 40 OW foreign-born miners expect to re'urn to Europe as soon as they can gel pass ports and that many have already re turned. If continued tnis movemcn 1 will be capable of producing but om I result a reduction of the amount nl coal mined in districts where the mint I labor Is largely foreign born, and tliurt ! are many such districts. He who needs coal should hesliuti no longer. Now Is the time to bu. COtti owner of Ardmore, which died re cently. This purebred Hereford was the highest priced bull In the United States until his death.

V icate It lechanism Despite its scope Swift & Company is a business of in finite details, requiring infinite attention. Experienced men must know livestock buying with a knowl edge of weight, price, the amount , and quality of meat the live animals will yield. Each manufacturing operation must be done with expert skill and scientific precision. A highly perishable product must be handled with speed and care to avoid loss. Chemists, engineers, accountants, and other specialists are required to take care of our intricate problems. Alert wisdom and judgment must be used in getting stocks of goods into the open channels of demand through our four hundred branch houses. Branch house organizations must show activity and energy to sell at the market in the face of acute competi tion from other large packers, and hundreds of small ones. All these requirements of intelligence, loyalty, devotion to the task, are met in the personnel of Swift & Company. Yet the profit is only a fraction of a cent per pound with costs at minimum.
