NEW REVOLUTION IS GAINING Oil Fields at Tampico Protected by Four Thousand Men in Pay of Foreigners—Railways Cut. Washington, D. C.—German officers are serving with the armies of General Carranza and General Villa in Mexico. Information to this effect has reached the State department. As Carranza and Villa are enemies, it would seem that the Germans would offset each other. If, however, the anti-Ameri can sentiment should force co-opera tion by Carranza and Villa—the situa tion German agents desire—the Ger man officers would act together in operations against the United States. The State department also has been informed that a new revolution is making headway in Mexico. The Tampico oil fields are “protected” by 4000 men, whose chief is well paid by the foreigners owning and producing the oil. This is in addition to the ex port tax paid to Carranza. Were the Tampico chief supplied with ammunition, it would be a com paratively easy matter for him to cap ture Vera Cruz. He needs cartridges, but the embargo applied by the United States prevents him from getting them. There is another revolutionary force in the state of Oaxaca which is ar ranging to co-operate with that in the Tampico district. If the junction takes place Carranza will be faced by a large body of men in addition to Villa’s army and the troops under Gen eral Zapata. Railroad connection be tween Vera Cruz and Mexico City is frequently cut by the Zapatistas, and it is no longer safe to go from one point to the other. The administration strongly desires to avoid being drawn again into Mex ico, but it is realized that there is a grave danger point which may become menacing as a result of activities of German agents. Salem — The legislature adjourned sine die at 2:30 o’clock Tuesday morn ing. At 12:30 the joint conference com- mittee from the house and senate agreed on all disputed points in the $6,000,000 road bonds bill. A few minutes later both houses concurred. The bill is now in the hands of the governor. The joint conference committee was composed of Senators Orton, Shanks and Vinton, and Representatives Rit- ner, Schimpff and Laurgaard. With only four dissenting votes the $6,000,000 road bonds measure, amend ed to provide for its submission to the people at a special election next June 4, passed the senate at 5:20 o’clock Monday. The house passed the senate’s spe cial election bill. The house amended the bill, however, so that the normal school question and the proposal to build a $200,000 home for delinquent children, both of which were referred to the people by legislative resolu tions, will not be voted upon by the people until the regular election in No vember, 1918. Salem — Both house and senate agreed to the Forbes amendment to the delinquent tax bill, which went through the house with a heavy vote. The bill, as amended by Forbes, will become a law in time to regulate the publication of delinquent taxes next year. It is too late to become effec tive this year. Attorneys in the house agree that the act is the most scientific and the most economical in effect in any state in the Union. Forbes gave the sub ject careful attention for several weeks while he had the bill in the ju- diciary committee, of which he is chairman. In brief, the meausre provides that 90 days after the taxes become delin- quent notices shall be mailed to the delinquent property owners by letter or postcard. Then 30 days will be allowed for them to respond. Those who make their payments in that time will be stricken from the delinquent rolls. Property that remains delinquent at the expiration of this 90-day period will be advertised in newspapers se lected by the county commissioners.

The bills, drawn on the lines of the Federal child labor law, would nation alize conditions for American working women. New Ruler is Demanded. London—The speaker in the house of commons, the Right Honorable James William Lowther, declared here Monday night it was impossible for British statesmen to make any agree ment with the German government as now constituted. It would be neces sary before signing peace or any agreement, he said, to insist that it must be with a government different in essence and constitution from the present one. HERMISTON, OREGON. Russia Asserts These the Backbone of Rus. sia— Their Part in History. Traveler in "Few persons who have followed the progress of the European war. and particularly the part Russia has played in the struggle, know the origin of the Cossacks, who have played an impor- tant part in all the battles,” remarke I H. A. Bryant of New Mexico, a world traveler, who recently came back from several months spent in Russia. "Cos- sack is a Tartar word. In the sixteenth century the term was used all over Russia to designate floating labor. In Moscow mercenary soldiers were called Cossacks. In southwestern Rus sia the Little Russians made serfs by the Polish gentry known us Shliachta escaped into the steppes to the so- called Ukraina, where they organized into bands to fight the invading Tar- tars, and there originated the Little Russian Cossack. "The Cossacks constitute the most loyal body of men the emperor has to this day. It was told in the lust revo lution that an ultimatum was sent to the Jews by the Cossacks to the effect that if they did not discontinue their agitation aguinst the czar the Cossacks would march against them 500,000 strong and annihilate them. This dec- lurution hud its effect, and while some few soldiers mutinied, no Cossack was found wanting. The Cossacks are the backbone of Russia ; take them away and Russia would almost go to pieces. Socially the Cossacks are delightful, big-hearted people, hospitable and jol ly. In many ways they resemble the cowboys as they were 20 years ago In the West. Like the cowboys, they are excellent shots, even better riders, though they cannot handle a lasso at all.” Icelandic Conditions. Iceland, which has just resumed di rect commercial relations with us, after centuries during which no Ice landic ship ever visited our shores, furnishes an example of what can be done by a determined people under ad verse physical conditions. It has a short growing season, not much soil and little feed for cattle, yet Its peo ple live lives of singular freedom and on the whole are among the happiest on the globe. There is no national debt, no paupers, no saloons, and, ac cording to the Christian Herald, the schools and churches are prospering, while libraries are well patronized and education is highly valued. Because of lack of raw materials the island can never hope to become a manufac turing community and its people never will be rich in the accepted sense of the term, but they are contented. The purpose of the recent visit of an Ice landic ship to American shores was to develop a market for fish caught in northern waters, the war having had an adverse effect on the market in Europe. Iceland is now the only place in the world where the ancient Norwegian is spoken, that language having remained practically unchanged since it was taken there by the early settlers some nine centuries ago. Bleaches Ruin Fabrics. Experiments carried out by Doctoi Faragher at the University of Kansas on various methods of laundering col lars prove that alkalies when used in proper proportions do only slight dan- age to the fabric provided proper rius ing follow their use. The greatest damage Is done by bleaches and acids. Chlorine bleaches injure wool and silk, but hydrosul- phite of soda does no harm. Dr. Herbert M. Shilstone, official chemist of the Tri-State Launderers' association, is quoted by the Scientific American as telling his clients that “the extensive use of oxalic acid in power laundries has been the cause of the slow adoption by the average house wife of this class of service.” The object of laundries that could not use the sun ns a bleach was to turn out white goods, and they chose oxalic acid as the first substitute. “It has taken years for you to awaken to the fact that you have been producing a nice white table- cloth or collar. but that you were greatly assisting the department store and the men’s furnishers in disposing of their stock,” said Doctor Shilstone.

Mother’s Cook Book Tho presence of a large amount of cel lulose in food, enables us often to satisfy the appetite without injury from over eating.—W, S. Saddler, M. D. The Peanut as Food. The peanut is rich in oils, making It a nutritious food. When ground they are more digestible, as children especially are apt to swallow them without masticating them sufficiently. Peanut butter may be prepared nt home with little expense except the time used. This makes delicious fill- lug for cakes, sandwich filling and several kinds of candy. Soup also may be made of peanut butter. Peanuts and Rice. Wash half a cupful of rice thor- oughly, place in a baking dish with half a cupful of milk, one cupful of water and a hah cupful of ground peanuts. Bake, stirring occasionally, until the rice is soft. Salt, pepper and a little butter may be added to this dish. Serve it as a vegetable. Peanut Canapes. Rub the yolks of hard cooked eggs with equal quantities of sardines and peanut butter, moisten with lemon juice, season and serve on rounds of buttered toast. Peanut Omelet. Make a cream sauce with a table spoonful of butter, two of flour and three-quarters of a cupful of milk. When smooth, remove from the fire, season and add three-quarters of a cupful of ground peanuts. Pour the mixture on the lightly beaten yolks of three eggs, then fold in the stiffly beaten whites, pour into a hot but- tered baking dish and bake for twenty minutes. Salted Peanuts. Shell unroasted peanuts and pour boiling water over them to remove the skins. Dry, place in a frying basket and fry in hot deep fut until they are a light brown. Salt well and drain on brown paper. Peanut Sauce With Sliced Turkey. Make a cream sauce, using two ta blespoonfuls of butter and when bub bling hot add two tablespoonfuls of flour. When well blended, add a cup- ful of ground peanuts nud pour hot over slices of turkey. Anteaters of United States Belong to Feathered Tribe, North America, or more properly the United States, has an anteater of Its own. To he exact, it bus several of them, but all belong to the feath ered tribe rather than to the quad- ruped vertebrates, as do the anteaters of tropical countries. The most important of America’s ant- eaters, according to scientists of the department of agriculture, is the flick- er. If you were reared on it farm you know the flicker, probably, as a “yel- lowhammer," because that’s his com monest name. Golden flicker is anoth er name. He belongs to the woodpeck er family und gets the name of flicker from his flicking, up-and-down man ner of flight. The flicker is the only member of the woodpecker tribe that spends much of the time oa the ground, says the Washington Star.

Age-Herald Never Laugh at Your Child, One of Four “Don’ts” That Mothers Should Not Forget. A few don’ts might well be conspi cuously posted in many a mother's mind. Don’t consider it necessary to sys tematically underrate your child. Your adult friends will know you do not mean it, but the child will not, and probably more characters are weak ened by the lack of self-confidence en gendered by such a process than by the vanity which follows the silly brag- ging of overfond parents, writes Nellie Foss Ford in Mother’s Magazine. "Don't think that the moment you are alone with your boy or girl you must find fault or endeavor to 1m- prove the occasion by a little moraliz ing, no matter in how loving a spirit. This is the hardest of all, for no one is so anxious to help a child toward perfection ns is its parent, yet It sure ly leads to an avoidance of the mo ments alone together, which should be times of happy confidences. Don’t correct the child before oth ers. Never mind if a well-meaning relative does say: "My dear. I am sur prised that you do not show more force of character; your children are suffering from a lack of discipline.” Pass the matter over until you and the small offender can have it out alone. If the circumstances are such that it cannot be passed over, take him out of the room. Lastly, laugh often with, but never nt, your child. This tnkes self-denial, but It pays. Make up your mind that whatever others may say, he can de- perni upon you for a quick, sure un- derstanding, without quibble or joke at bls expense. This does not mean that he must not take his share of harmless fun. It Is wholesome, and too much sheltering would make him oversensitive, but the mother who lets her child know that she never makes fun of him will be surprised at the confidence with which lie relies upon It. To Stop a Runaway Horse, Wave Hat in Front of It One wonders how many people have the slightest notion as to how to stop a runaway horse, An old farmer In an adjacent state was coming home the other morning when he heard a terrific commotion behind him, and when ho turned saw a horse racing to ward him in a frenzy of fear. In the spring wagon was a little boy of six or seven and behind the swaying ve hicle was a gray-haired man, evidently the child’s grandfather, chasing the runaway, says the Columbus (O.) Dis- patch. In an instant the farmer was out In the middle of the road with his hat whisked off his head, both arms gy- rating In wide circles. The hat did the work, for the farmer told folks aft- erward that his mother had told him that a horse would always stop at the sight of a hat being whirled directly in front of It. The animal came to a stop within a few inches of the farmer, who stood his ground. It was the work of a few seconds to calm the quivering animal, and soon the grand father came up. He threw his arms around the rescuer and fairly wept for Joy. World Now Saving Waste Leather waste is an important ingredient of the best grade wall paper.
