CANNING THE KAI8ER
LONDON The newspapers declare
toduy that (lie American soldiers and
mnrlnes have already found a slogan
which is "Can the kaiser?" The llrl-
IhIi are much puzzled by the ability of
the Americans to Invent new slang
and the paiierg explain that the word
"can" Is used in the sense of liermet
ically sealing the Ualser to prevent his
further activity.

"GOTT STRAFE AMERIKA"
A'
Gerard, German
naper monev now bears the legend "Goit strafe
England nnd Amerika." Photographs of this money are
printed as illustrations in his copyrighted narrative of his
experiences as ambassador.
i Persons returning from Germany eonfirm the report
that German hate, formerly concentrated upon England,
is now centered upon the United States, and an American
is not safe from attack in German cities. : . !
The interference of England in behalf of the weaker
nations spoiled the well-laid German plans for a brief con
quest of Europe and overlordship of the world. Hence for
months the hymn of hate was daily sung against the Brit
ish. The participation of tho United States renders cer
tain the eventual failure of German ambition, hence the
vials of wrath poured upon Albion are . condensed upon
America. . ' r
This is in keeping with the chivalry and humanity the
Germans have shown their enemies, which the kaiser
brags about. We have had many instances of this ehiv'
airy. It began early in the war my maiming Belgian and
French children, murdering their parents, ravishing their
f-istei's, deporting their men and women into slavery and
burning their cities. It was 'continued by bombardments
of defenseless towns, ot Zeppelin raids upon farming com
munities, bv destruction of ocean liners at sea, thru sub
marine warfare, by shelling of lifeboats, by poison gas,
liquid fire and a thousand barbarities. Murder, rapine
tho torch, famine and terrorism have been the instruments
of the chivalrous supermen.
German chivalry has not been confined to enemy na
tions. Up to the time Germany forced America into the
conflict by waging Avar against the United States by de
stroying American life and property at home and on the
sea, and by conspiring with other nations for the invasion
ot the United States, Gorman chivalry had, without warn
ing, sunk 849 ships of friendly neutral nations, with a ton
nage of 1,653,654 tons. The list comprised 20 American
ships, 76 Dutch ships, 10.1 Swedish ships, 436 Norwegian
ships, 114 Uanisli snips, w fopanisli snips, I iirazuian
ships, 60 Greek ships, and one ship each of Argentine,
Peru and Uruguay. The only reason all these nations
have not declared war upon (lermnay is because they are
little and powerless against German might, and fear even
to cease feeding Germany because of threats of German
ruthlessness.
This slaughter of innocents of every nationality, these
tragedies of the sea, these murders of friends engaged in
valiantly relieving German distress, guilty of no belliger
ent acts; this universal impoverishment of the world which
humanity will never forgive and history never forget, is an
instance of German chivalry.
Who wants the friendship of such a nation of moral
monstrosities? There is nothing to gain from such friend
ship. What self-respecting nation seeks it? It is indeed
a compliment to be the bullseye of the target of German
hate. But the realization that German autocracy is pray
ing to God to strike down America, and the realization of
what America's fate will be in case of German victory as
a vassal nation, should stop the seditious tongues of the
sissy pacifists who still claim to be Americans, and silence
ihc sueuring snarls of the flunkeys of juggertum.
Peace? There can be no peace for the world until au
tocracy is beaten to its knees and the world made free for
democracy to solve the problems of humanity and the
menace of the mailed fist forever removed. GeiTnany's
war is a war upon civilization, and the kaiser, still defiant
uiiu urn cpciiuuii, iii iri iiu cu curs in i-uiuiici, as sun uias
phemously and familiarly calling rtpon God to strike down
democracy.
Napoleon remarked that God was on the side that had
Ihc biggest guns and the strongest armies and it is up
to America to secure the Lord's assistance by meriting it
in the field which we are going to do and instead of,
like heathens, calling upon God to strike their enemies,
Germans will be praying to llini to save Germany a
Christian prayer.
MULCTING THE FARMER
MEDFORD. OTJEGON". TTTTTRSDAY. AFGFST 9. 1917
HOW TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL NECK
Tl 1 1' annual skinning of the farmers of the Rogue Uiver
valley is in progress by grain and hay speculators.
Wheat is selling in Portland as high as $2.40, and in east
ern Oregon at $2,125 and upwards, and being sold here at
$2. The crop of the nation is short, the war ha s created an
abnormal demand and wheat will not fall below these fig
ures. Yet the local farmers, who organize only to fight
irrigation, which would benefit them, do not organize to
build their own warehouses and elevators, to hold, fi:.,mce
and market their own crops. ,
The Rogue River valley does not produce half enough
grain to supply local demands. There is practically no
grain, flour or feed shipped out. It is bought up after
harvest at Portland prices, less the freight, held and resold
later at Portland prices plus the freight. The farmer could
have these profits, instead of the speculator or middleman.
The wheat the fanner sells now will be resold later, with
out moving out of the valley, for from $2.50 to $3.50.
in 1910 we imported -IS cars of oats and barley, 432
cars of flour and milU'eed. n .1911, 23 cars of grain, 276
of flour and feed. In 1913, 40 ears of grain and 403 of
'lour and feed. In 191 1, 74 cars of grain and 4(53 of flour
and feed. In 1915, 3t ears of grain and 413 of flour and
feed, and a still greater quantity in 191(5, while the exports
were negligible all of which proves that there is a home
market for every kernel of grain raised.
It is the same with hay. All hay growers should save
their hay for local feeding. There is a shortage turnout
the country. .11' the hay is sold to speculators or foreign
purchasers, and sent out of the valley, hay td replace it
will 1iave to be bought elsewhere and shipped in. If the
hay leaves the valley, the livestock will be driven out to
where it can be obtained and the industry be crippled.
Let the fanners organize to market their own grain and
hay and secure the profits now going to those who neither
sow nor reap. The entire valley would profit, no oue
more than the growers.

lions of the strength of American
nriny division to the European stan
dard o 19,000 men and revival ot'
the old army corps major, tnetien!
unit was recommended, it was learn
ed today, by Major General Persh
ing, after a careful study of comii
tions at the front. Americiin offi
cers are convinced that sound mili
tary reasons induced the French, and
British war offices to adopt this tac
tical formation for trench warfare.
Reductions of the divisions means
n bis job for the war department.
Much administrative work, already
completed, probably will have to be
thrown aside and dono over. Gen
eral Pershing's recommendations are
positive, however, and the depart
ment's nttitnde is the same as it was
toward General Funston iliirin? the
Mexican trouble. The wishes of the
men on the ground, on whom rests
the responsibility for nciu.i! nperq
tions, will be met as far 3 practic
able. .
One effect of the reduction of both
brigades and divisions will be' Id
create many additional vacancies in
the grades of major and brigadier-gonerul.

To start with, a couple of cows, a few pigs nnd chickens and a good big garden nnd, family orchard on a
few acres of productive, well tilled land will make an independent living and will cost but comparatively
little on a real good homestead. As you bring more land under cultivation your products will bring you a
big cash price, whether.it be grain or livestock or small farm produce. -We "wish to impress upon you that

some poor, some rough 'and moiiiitaiiiiius, but to our absolute knowledge there are many thousands of
