For the second lime, while the heroes who wore the blue or the gray in 1M1 are passing in ever diminishing re view, other heroes, their sons ami grandson's, are marching off to rededieate m liberty's name the nation that was sav ed for freedom by Grant at Appomattox. Nineteen years ago it was bleeding ( 'uba for whose sake young Americans donned the uniform and sallied forth to oust the oppressor. Today our sympathies nre war by the Kiilf ermgs or Belgium, Senna, roland, .Monte negro and the dangers of France and all democracy. Herein lies our pledge to the brave men of '(il that their heritage has not been forgotten; that Americans today, as then, stand ready to lay down their lives for an ideal. How their hearts must thrill as thev inarch today, be hind the fife and drum, through the flag-decked streets, in the knowledge that other men are taking up their bur den, and are preparing to sacrifice their lives, if need bo, that the republic may insure for the future years, peace without dishonor. What sorrow must mix with their pride as they realize that, though their steps will soon cease forever, gener ations to come will continue the beautiful custom fit' Me morial dav, and ever thinning ranks will wear, not the blue of lH(il, but the olive drab of 1017!

Coroner MEDFORD, OKEOOX, - WEDNESDAY, MAY HO, 1017 Fi 10 GET OF Cutworms and slujrs nre making their appearance in truck gardens and in the fields and have been reported as having done considerable damuge in some places. The army worm which is .similar in its habits to the cut worm is nlso due to appear at most any time. The cut worm does his work lit night and in the day time remniiiK in the ground. The injury done hy cut worms consists in cutting off the young plants just us they push through the ground just below or just above the surf:u'e of the ground. They attack most all truck crops and will nlso climb fruit trees cutting- off the fruit stems. The slugs attack most all truck crops feodin at the surface of the ground. Formula of l'oison. Control: Tho method of control for all of the above pests is the poison bran mush which when proiery pre pared and applied is preferred to the vegetation upon which they feed: It is prepared ns follows; Ilran !)0 lbs. White- arsenic I " Salt 1 " Lemon exlract 2 o.'.s. Water to make a coarse crumbly mash. The dry ingredients should be mix ed thoroughly and water and lemon extract added. The material should not be sloppy; tub just enough wuter so that it will fall npurt readily in the hand after pressing together. For use in small home gardens it should be placed in small heups close to the newly set plants. Where it is used on a large scnle 15 pounds per acre brondeasted is sufficient. It should break into small flakes when broadcasting, n few falling near each plant. When mixing up the full for mula the cost would be between 4 nnd S cents per pound, but smnll' iiunn- tities would come higher. This office hns deemed it advisable to mix up n (piiinlily of the dry ingredients and selling it at cost to those wishing it on the snme plan of the squirrel pois on. It would not be practicable to add the water ninoe it would dry out upon standing, hence this would be left for the users: Furnished by Pathologist. This offer should nppeal to those who need but n small quantity, lie sure to bring a bottie in which to take the lemon extract. This material can be obtained at the office of the County Pathologist. This mush is to he applied in the evening. Cubbnge worms: Feeds on the cab bage and allied plants and when left alone will often do much damage. Control: 1 r tuhlcspoonsful ot ar senate of lend paste to 1 gallon of water or 1 tublcspoouful of arsen ate of lead powder in one gallon of water of sifted wood ashes or dust 8 parts and one part powdered arsen ate of lead. The first two mixtures nre applied with a liquid sprayer of some typo while the latter is applied with a dust gun or cloth hag. Aphis: Aphis often becomes de structive but are easily controlled by spraying with nicotine sulphate !( to Hll drops lo 1 quart of water or I tuhlcspoonsful to n gallon of water. A little .soap udded to the wuter will net us a spreader mid sticker. Wirewornis: It is now too bile lo do any effective work against the wirowonn. The best that can be done is to pull dying plants and kill the worms found in them. C. A.

The con gress of delegates from the front, af ter a debate on the war, has unani mously,, voted the following resolu tion: First, the army in the trenches de clares that It Is indispensable to take every measure to put an end as quick ly as possible to the International car nage and conclude peace without an nexations or indemnities, on the basis of the right of all nations to dispose of themselves, proclaiming at the same time the watchword, "Who ever wishes for peace must prepare for war." Second, the army, pointing out that the Russian soldiers have been fight ing hitherto under conditions infi nitely worse than those of the allies, that the Russian soldier has had to march almost unprotected against the enemy's bullets and break with uaro arms the barbed wire entanglements which the allies and the enemy pass freely after artillery preparation, de clares that tho Russian froiit must be provided with munitions and every thing necessary to maintain the prin ciple, "the more metal, the less gun fodder." In conclusion the congress declares that the army appeals tn all to whom free Russia Is dear to rally around the council of soldiers' and workmen's delegates and the provisional govern ment and not to permit "adventurers to let the army became manure for foreign fields."

Chairman Simmons of the senate finance committee in conference with treasury officials, pointed out thai the principal questions of the war rev enue hill yet to be determined relate to the administration's proposed auto mobile license taxes, excise taxes on coffee and Jea, higher second cUifs postal rates and taxes on public util ities. Secretary McAdoo is urging the committee to report out the bill car rying about $1, 800,000,000 as pro vided In the house measure, but com mittee sentiment apparently is In fa vor of reducing it to around $ 1 .r.iiO, OOO.OUU, the difference to be raised by short term bonds. Conferees of tho senate and house on the $3,342,000,000 war budget bill today still had changes to con sider, notably the provision to regu late the acquisition of an American merchant marine, for which $7.'0, 000,000 is authorized. The administration's food survey and production bill will be taken up in the senato again tomorrow and its early passage is looked for. The hill is the house substitute for the meas ure the senute lias been considering. NEW YORK. Hay :).

Shoe Polish M mi USERS OF RANGE HU 111 Hi I'serfi of the national forest range who enlist in t:i army or navy may, according to a telegram received from II. S. Oraves, forester and chief of Hie forest service, retain their graz ing prefci-enci! rights without actual use of the range during the term of their enlistment. 1'nder the present regulations, a permittee, If ho fails to make use of the range for ono season forfeits his preference rights as a "Class A" or old-time user, and has to stand his chnnce on a fully util isced range with a newcomer. Tills new order is intended to prevent any possihlo hardship that might arise , roiu the absence of a permittee while serving his country In the army or nvy. The forester's order provides that a grazer who cnliMs and does not use the range in his absence should file a statement wilh Hie forest sSipervisor -o ihat Hie range call he used temiaV: arily during his absence. In Hue with the campaign of pro ducing the nt in o.st food products, the forest service, !! ays M. Iv. Krlcltson, forest supervisor of tho Crater Na tional Forest, is allowing more range ;ftO( k on the national forests this sea-1 sou Ihiin ordinarily, even in some In stance; at tho risk of overstocking the range and lemporarily injuring it This is an emergency measure which will not establish a new policy.
