The balr-mlll Icvi us outlined wo ild havfl lo be sub Joined III a city election. ( . a a o xicrmaiiv miiics liainiiicriiiK lit her .-iti'.s is the allied block ade whieh has cut (ill" all commerce with the world save the little that finds its way over the border from small neutral states. The central empires are virtually being licscifrcil by the entire world, which has shut oft all com merce and all supplies overy nature. This scijre has been conducted by the British navy since the war began but it did not become entirely effec tive until (in-many arraigned the balance of the world againstjier by her Unrestricted submarine warfare since when tlie Teutonic allies have been slowly but effectively strangled, (lernian armies could be victorious and still lose the war for the unseen, death grip of economic pressure would not lie relaxed strangling the central pow ers to complete exhaustion. It is true that (iennaii forethought laid in immense supplies of raw materials before plunging into a war upon the world but (iernian efficiency failed to correctly es timate the duration of the war and planned for a short campaign against an unprepared Europe to be crowned with speedy victory. Since then everything possible, has been done to arrest impending late winch bas only pro longed the day of reckoning as (lernian armies sought by pillage and loot to replace the drain of war and by seizure of provinces to have a basis for bargaining for terms. It is true that Germany has temporarily realized her dream of .Miltel Kuropa, but central Europe cannot sup ply the economic needs, for ( iernian v, more than any other nation, built r.p her industries upon a foundation of im ported raw materials. Possessing inly coal, iron and potash, her prosperity was due to the industry and ability of her people in manufacturing from imported raw mate rials and of these materials ALittcl Europa can furnish only a fraction. Of the total (iernian imports, in pre-war period, nearly (it) per cent consisted of industrial raw materials and semi manufactured articles, vital not only to the maintenance of her civilian population but for the upkeep of the army. The materials Germany cannot secure are the fabrics cotton, wool, silk, flax, hemp and jute; leather, furs, and rubber; minerals copper, tin, platinum, aluminum, nickel, manganese, and other indespensables. Of these essentials, only 17 percent came from Austvia-Ilungavy, the Balkan states and Turkey and 11 of this 17 percent represented hides and furs. 1 As the result of the seige, most attention lias' been cen tered upon foodstuffs. The supply is equally short, es pecially in animal and vegetable fats, and public health has suffered accordingly, but foodstuffs contribute only one of many serious shortages some of which cannot be bridged. ' , , The enmities Germany has created have destroyed for a generation at. least her commerce abroad. Xo laws or treaties will ever force the majority of those alive todav !u ! belligerent countries to nurchase German made nroducts. i The populations of the great trading and producing coun tries of the world will not raise the seige against German products with theMerniinatioii of the war. Germany boasts of entering the war to "safeguard her economic future." But the world will not be stampeded by fright fulness, and instead of safeguarding her econom ic future, Germany has brutally clubbed it to death. In stead of winning economic independence she has proven, herself dependent upon the world she has' antagonized. .She has been hoist on her own petard. That Germany realizes the condition is shown by the frantic peace offensives, directed to securing a ground of negotiation with the enemy on the basis of exchange of occupied territory in return for noinic concessions and safeguards against differential treatment. That the allies also understand Germany's condition is shown by the prompt rejection of peace overtures. Allied economic pressure, the best weapon of the many at the disposal of the allies, is so weakening Ger many thai our great American army next year can: achieve the decisive victory. To create, sustain and sup port this army and insure this victory it is necessary for each one of us to buy liberty bonds to the greatest extent possible for only by money so ""raised can the war be quickly ended. t ut This Out 1 Is World Money DON'T MISS THIS.

During; the rest of the miltunn nnd winter it is estimated that 1(1,214.5!) more will be needed for certain details necessary for the final plans and for carrying on the business of the district. In all .f'JII.IIini will cover the expenses of the investigation, organization nnd ud ministration expeness, nnd the plans and specifications for one year und a half, up to April, 1919. This money has been und w ill be ob tained by the district, throuli' the county treasurer, issuing xvarrants. The law provides that the district shall never have warrants outstand inir i" a urealer amount than $1 per cere. There arc somewhat over 20, 001) acres in tho district, so that the directors are well within the limit now, nnd will be on April 1, next, when Ihey will bce.in lo retire Ilie wnr ranls from Ilie assessment of $1 per acre just levied. The committee feels that the money has been well spent, and tliey know thai it has been honestly spent. The character of ilie men comprising the hoard is a Kiiarnntee of both. The law surrounds the issiinnee of a war rant with many sal'cunnrils, and the committee finds llml nil these safe guards have been carefully observed. The books and records of Mr. K. M. Wilson, secretory of the hoard, an experienced public uecoiintant, an1 kept up to date, are plain nnd com plete, tun! are open lo the inspection of every voter in the district.

As It shitted from the front Hues to iho back Hreas, the American (ire opened so effectively ihat any attempt by tho tlermany In lantry to attack was out of tho ques tion.

He was repulse! with probable losses i show them und explain them to nny one desiring information on the sub jeet. His office is in the Medi'tird Furniture and . Ilurrtxvnre building, and his telephone number is 1.17-H. As to the cost of investigation, the committee teels that no inonev xvns unnecessarily spent and that tjic re sult justified the cntir expense. The situation has been characterized liy the stale engineer as In most com plicated irrigation district problem in Oreg-on, nnd consequently the direc tors wore forced to invest igifre every source from which it might br. uossi ble to ohlnin wnter. This necessar ily took time and money. ITad fnerc been only one source tlie problem would have been an easy one, and the cost would have been much less. Although several sources were in vestigated, money was not ex-pended uselessly. Where the directors l:new tlml reliable surveys and information existed and could be obtained when the particular' project was selecled, no money was wasted in duplicating work already performed. There was no expensive staff of employes and the administrative expenses have been reasonable and necessarily in curred. Outside of the engineering, the heaviest expense was incurred by the opposition trying to get out of the district. W. I'.. iiAiixnr, .11M HANSON, . .HM DAILY. (I. 1!. DKAX. DILLON MILL, ' .1. A.

' The Panama Canal is a clear passageway as far as the Cul'ebra Cut. But Gold Hill has a way of slipping into the cut. And un(il dredges can clear the channel, the industrial schedule of the world is out of near. ; ' How about your own canal ? The intestinal canal is a clear passageway as far as the large intestine. There, if you become constipated, waste matter is allowed to stagnate It becomes unnaturally dry and ' undergoes abnormal fermentation and putrefaction. Germ activity is increased. Your whole system is out of gear. Result, the production of irritating and poisonous substances, which are absorbed into your ' blood and carried all over your body, liable to pro duce disease anyxvhere. The longer such stagnation is allowed to exist, the harder it is to clean out the canaL 90 of human disease originates in. the "Culcbra Cut." If engineers tried to blast out the slide from Culebra Cut they would have more slides to cope with. If you try to blast out accumulated waste from ycur Culcbra Cdt with pills, salts or purges, you will' increase your constipation and next time you will have to take stronger medicine in a larger dose. - You can't dredge your canal. You can clean it out with Nujol. Nujol softens the mass, and supplies the intestinal canal with sufficient moisture to replace deficient mucus. It causes the obstructive, waste matter to pass ecntly out of your system at a regular hour, absorbing and removing the poisons as it goes. Nujol regularity keeps the traffic of your mind and . body operating on schedule. You admire the Panama Canal system. Why not safeguard your own?
