hop growers In Lane County are
plowing up their hop fields prepara-1

hop grower and buyer of this city,
Frnnk Hoyer. He cites the examples
of one man who has plowed up twen
ty acres of bis yard near Springfield,
and two others who have plowed up
ton and fourteen acres respectively.
The gradual decline of the bop
business is the reason. Except for n
brief period last fall, when .the price
went as high as 35 cents per pound,
the price or hops has been much low.

Kll STATES IXTO WOULD WAR
WASHINGTON, D. C, March 4.
Sccrctnry of the Treasury MrAdoo has
mimed April C, 1918, as tho date for
the opening ot the third Liberty Loan
campaign.
It Is the first anniversary of the en
franco of the United States into the
war against the kaiser, he has pointed
out, and added that the amount.
terms and conditions of the loan have
have not been decided because theso
tlirco features are dependent upon
further legislation. In making the
announcement Secretary McAdoo
said:
"I expect to ask the congress at an
eurly date to grant the necessary ad
ditional authority.
"Of course, the opening dsy of the
campaign Is somewhat dependent
upon the new legislation, but It Is
hoped and believed that the matter
can be considered and determined in
ample time to begin the campaign on
the date suggested.
"April Ctb will forever.be a conse
crated date in American history, and
it feeras peculiarly appropriate that
the opening of the second year of our
participation In this war for the hon.
or and rights of America and the free
dom of the world should be celebrated
with a nation-wide drive for another
Liberty Loan.'"

In a few brief remarks Introducing

Falls Saturday night, Chairman E. B.
Hall affirmed that the audience eed
not expect to hear an orator, but rath

was no question of tbe plain talk, as
the spesker proceeded with his re
marks, but If Sorgeant Wells Is not an
orator our late Mr. Webster was cer
tainly mixed In his dates.
Tbe human character Is moulded
by the conditions- to which It is sub
jected. Sergeant Wells might have
passed his lifetime in Canada with
out having any unusual powers ot
working on the emotions of his fel
low men, but tbe terrible life, hard
ships and suffering of the months In
the war sone have so permeated his
soul that he can sway hla hearers
