IMlVOli of .Santa Ana, Cnl., writes lor information foiicorniiij? the valley. Jle is one of many Califor nia licet sugar growers contemplating eriining here to en cragi' in sugar licet growing. J le thus describes conditions in his locality: "I have 'been fanning beets in this locality for eight years. 1 do not own any Jand and have been renting, but rent is so high here that it is almost impossible to make much headway. Beet sugar land is worth from .flOO to 700 an acre and rent is from $20 to $."50 per acre per vear." With water, sugar beet land in this, valley will soon appreciate to these prices, lieiiters are now pa ving $25 an acre for beet land under irrigation but unless 'the district plan carries at tomorrow's election, there will be no beet sugar industry for tlx; irrigated acreage available is not sufficient to maintain a factory and the cnteriirise will be abandoned. With water, there is a better outlook for ' the beet farmer here than in California, because higher prices are paid for beets and finer beets are grown, ifenters arc here 1o contract for an additional thousand acres of land of beets for next year but land owners cannot lease any of ilieir land at prices approximating these figures, if' the district plan is defeated. It is up to the farmers whether they better their con ditions or not whether they invite prosperity or continue to retrograde. A vote for the creation of a district is a vote for prosperity. Opportunity knocks do you let it in? NO PLACE FOR A LLEN . KA'I'OX, a member of the Oregon legisla 1 hire and a regent, of the state universitv, has been requested to resign by the Eugene Commercial club lie cause of his participation in the recent convention of the "People's Council" of Pacifists.' Mr. Eaton has shown by his talk and bv signed state ments that he is opposed to the war and professes not to know what the objects of the war are. Like other sincere but silly sentimentalists, he is doing what; he can to citt bariass the president, impede the conduct, of the war create discord, demoralization and division in the nation to aid and comfort the enemy. Mr. Eaton responds to his country's call for assistance m tune of mortal danger by utilizing his energy and influ ence as a cog in the machinery of the 'sinister German propaganda. His patriotism is on a par with that of the lories of the revolution and the Copperheads of the civil wu j,, America is battling for her right to exist as a nation as well as lor the survival of democracy. Either autocracy is doomed or else democracy is. Both cannot survive One is either for America or for Germanv there is no weak-kneed straddle. Jf for America, vou'must be readv to light tor her, .sacrifice for her, and whole-heartedly do your mite for victory. There is probably no more sincere pacifist in the world than J. liryay but Bryan is not a. disloyalist nor a Uaitor. Like the loyal citizen he is, now that'the country is at. war, he is for the war. Listen to this from the Com moner: Hcforo our nation ciilors u war It Is proper to discuss tho wisdom of roIiir (o war, Imt discussion Is I'losell when congress acts. After that no one should clonlt nttnelis upon this novernmont or aid the enemy un der Iho claim that he Is exorcising freedom of speech. ".No sympathy will l.o wasted upon thoso who have heen arrested for unpatriotic utterances. They abuse rreo speech and this applies to attacks upon tho allies as well as upon tho United States. We can no more allow our allies to he crushed than we can afford to bo crushed Tho defeat of our allies would throw the whole burden of the war upon us. Wo must stand together nnd fight It. thru. Thero are only two sides to a war. Every American must bo on tho side of tho United States."

E E To the Editor: Will you lie good chough lo publish a few .words for the infomiution ot the people hack home in regard to shipments of fruit nnd other things which huve heen sent to the Seventh company? This request is made for the reason that it has been learned here that reports have been circulated nmon tiie home people that the things which they have been so good to send us have not been properly distributed. I desire to say that all shipments; that eonie to the company other thnn by parcel post, which go to the post office, are received by Provost Ser geant Newbury and are delivered to me as mess sergeant ut the company kit'dien storeroom. The manner in which the fruit nnd other things nro served is also regulated entirely by myself thru instructions to the com pany cooks nnd under my personal supervision during each meal. In whatever way these extras tiro serv ed, they are distributed to all alike, including officers nud men, as well as visitors from home, the latter of which we have had n large number, and whose presence we very much enjoy. All Get n Fair Share. T nm inclined to think that some of the complaints which have reach ed home, if they, have really come from our men, are due to the ignor ance of tiie. men themselves. As tin example, a shipment of home canned goods which arrived recently was sufficient in quantity for only n lit tle more than one meiil for the 110 men being led ut our mess. The nv erage person who is not fain'ilinr with the quantity required for over 10(1 hungry men would be inclined to think thut thero was sufficient for a week or more. Members of the. company are frequently off on pass, as many as forty being off nt intervals over Saturday and Sunday, when Iho ex tras are usually served, and 'no doubt, some of these men have not received any of tile fruit received nt that time. As an indication of the quantities of some of tiie staples required nt our mess, we used nineteen packages of Post Toasties this morning' nt breakfast, and our butter bill at the present rate of consumption is over il. i0 per month. A dozen boxes of peaches which' arrived Sunday from home, containing HO0 pounds, disap peared in fifteen minutes. A quarter of beef lasts but two days, and we eat nearly .100 pounds of salmon in two meals. Missing Shipments. You can assure our good home folks wlio are doing so much for our wclfure Hint, anything they may send here is being distributed iu n way that each man of the company re ceives his proportionate share and that everyone is treated exactly alike in all respects. Judging from reports Unit have come to us here, some shipments of fruit have been made which did not reach us. We have had no means of checking these shipments, us in only one case has any notice been received that (lie fruit had been sent, nnd this was duly Acknowledged to Ii. H. War ner, from whom the shipment was re ceived. It is suggested that when any future shipments are made that noti fication he sent by letter to nivself or Captain Yntice, in order that we may he on the lookout for it, and when received will have a cheek on tho shipment. I desire to express the thanks of the entire company to all those who have had our wclfure at heart, and lo say that we appreciate in full meas ure the many nets of kindness which have been shown us. I desire also to assure all our good friends that any donations of eutahlcs will ho used for the benefit of the whole company in (he w ay that seems best under the circumstances.

Catarrhal Deafness May Be Overcome A simple, safe and relia'ile way that calls for no ugly trumpets, phones or other instruments. To he deaf is very annoying and embarrassing. People who are deaf are generally mighty sensitive on this subject. And yet many deaf folks carry around instruments that call at tention to their infirmity. There fore peoplo who are hard of hear ing, who suffer from head noises, or who are actually deaf from catarrhal trouble, will he glad to know of a sim ple recipe that can no easily made up at home for a few cents' cost that Is really quite eficient in relieving the disagrecajile deafness and head noises caused by catarrh. From any drug store got one ounce of Parmiut (douhlo strength) about 9Uc worth. Take this liome and put in into a simple syrup made of pint of hot water and four ounces of ordi nary granulated sugar. Take a table spoonful four times a day. This treatment should by tonic action reduce the inflammation in the middlo ear that a catarrhal condition would be likely to cause and xvith tho inflammation gone the distressing liead noises, headaches, cloudy think ing and that dull feeling In the ears should gradually disapear. , Anyone who suffers from catarrh, catarrhal, deafness or head noises should givo Parmlnt a trial. It is pleasant to take and is quite inexpensive. Heath's drug store, Haskin's drug store, Strang's drug store, Medford Pharmacy, West Side Pharmacy, can. supply you.
