It has a brain to direct its members In accord with the things the eyes and ears bring to the attention of the general in com mand. But it must also have nerves to carry the messages of the eyes anil ears to the commanding brain. The eyes and ears of an army are its jeouts, its cavalry, Its aeroplanes, Its balloons, its spies, its photographers, Its observers. The brain Is the com manding general and his staff. The nerves are a hundred different activi ties of that branch of the service known as the signal corps. It is the duty of the signal corps to transmit information. It performs this duty in many ways, ranging from the courier to wireless, from rockets at night to heliograph flashes by day, from permanent telephone and tele graph lines to the curious “buzzer" and its wire on the ground, on fence tops, strung among trees, anywhere it can be put. It uses the wigwag code with flags, searchlight signals, tele phones, signal flares—any and all means of communication which the In genuity of man has devised are em ployed by the signal corps as necessity may dictate—Brigadier General Squler In American Boy. Plans to Securo It Have Boon Tried For Throe Conturioe. THE TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT Admirable and farsighted pinna for securing a peaceful international order have been before the world for 300 years. M. Emerlc Cruce submitted his plan, which lualuded liberty of com merce throughout all the world, as early as 1023. Following the peace of Utrecht, tho Abbe de St Pierre devel- ojied his plan, which Included media tion, arbitration and au Interesting ad dition to the effect that any sovereign who took up arms before the union of nations had declared war or who re fused to execute s regulation of the union or a judgment of the senate was to be declared an enemy of European society. The union was then to make war upon him until he should be dis armed or until the regulation or judg ment should be executed. Some twenty years earlier William Fenn had produced his quaint and real ly extraordinary plan for the peace of Europe, in which he, too, proposed to proceed by military power against any sovereign who refused to submit his claims to a proposed diet, or parlia ment, of Europe or who refused to abide by and to perform any judgment of such a body. All these plans, like those of Rous seau, Bentham and Kant, which came later, as well as William Ladd’s elab orate and carefully considered essay on a congress of nations, published la 1840, were brought into the world too soon. They were the fine and noblo dreams of seers which it Is taking civ ilised men three centuries and more to makes clubbing arrangement with THE OREG r [D r. * í ir > Offers Unusual Opportunity To Its Readers MONG our large circle of readers there are a great many who are interested directly or indirectly in fruit growing, dairying and other branches of farming.

The first 'New York city directory was printed in 1786 and was a scanty affair, with the “Van” descendants of the Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam taking up pretty nearly all the space. The first attempt to compile names of New Yorkers by business or trade was made In 1805, when a classified list was appended to the directory. At the top of each classification the pub lishers Inserted the work of a poet whose lyre was turned to commerce. This, for instance, is the bard's thoughts on hairdressers: beglr »ffertlvely to realize.- Now lurk Times. SAVED BY A CAMERA MAN. %• Hew He Wen a Lease ef Life Fee Seme ef Villa's Vlstime. We have, therefore, made a special clubbing arrangement with THE OREGON FARMER whereby any farmer or fruit grower, who is one of our regular subscribers and who is not now a subscriber of THE OREGON FARMER, will be en titled to receive THE OREGON FARMER in combination V V with this paper at the same rate as for this paper alone Ye ragged pates, your hair we’ll crop And drees it vastly pretty, Or If your blocks are bare walk In, I warrant we can fit ye, With bag or queue or long pig tall Or brushed wig or grizzled— It was pointed out that the poet evi dently had no trouble finding inspira tion for each of the different business es be was called upon to sing about un til be came to the list of restaurants, which was published without verse, leading to the belief that the strain of singing of food had been too much for the bard.—New York Times. t This offer applies to all those who renew or extend their sub- criptions as well as to all new subscribers, If you are interested directly or indirectly in Oregon agriculture, dp not l miss _/__ this V V unusual opporturity but send your order in now V Ssa Water. Sea water is a complicated mixture of a great variety of substances. Roughly speaking, It consists of 9tP4 per cent of fresh water plus 3% per cent of mineral salts. Tbree-fourths of these salts is chloride of sodium, or common table salt, and the next largest constituent- Is chloride of magnesium. After these come sulphate of magne sium, sulphate of lime, sulphate of pot ash. bromide of magnesium and carbo nate of lime. In addition to these sub stances, sea water contains minute quantities of quite a variety of ele ments, Including Iodine, phosphorus and arsenic. It also contains some sil ver, copper, zinc, nickel, cobalt, iron and gold. Copper and zinc are found in some seaweeds, and certain species ofcoral is three-millionths sliver. THE OREGON FARMER is the one farm paper which is devoting itself exclusively to the farming activities and interests of Oregon. It has a big organization gathering the news of importance to farmers, dairymen, fruitgrowers, stockraisers and poultrymen; and it has the backbone to attack wrongful methods and combinations and bad legislation, and support honest leaders and beneficial measures. We are confident that our readers will congratulate us on our being able to make this splendid and V V -z V attractive clubbing offer. * * • * r A great many people imagine that the arms of flywheels and pulleys are curved for the sake of beauty and graceful appearance. But this Is not so. In the making of these wheel« they are cast in sand from molten Iron poured In. As the arms are of less thickness and body than the heavy rim and the hub, they begin to cool off quicker. By the time the arms are ’’set’’ the rim and hub are still cooling and contracting, and the effect of their shrinkage is to cause a very powerful Pull on the arms. As the latter are sol idly set they become severely strained, but If the arms are curved they with stand the pull that goes on during shrinkage and simply straighten out a little. 1 ■ ; I ' By Our Clubbing Arrangement, both for . - . - Electricity and Coal Waste. • V'. • Tillamook Headlight, One Year $1.50 1.00 Oregon Farmer, One Year - - Curved Arms of Flywheels.

Artillery is a very exact science and no shots are ever fired until it has been determined definitely that they will land near the targe. The sevenh company has been gloating over the fact that they had a fifteen foot road in front of their tents to use as a company street while the tenth company had a croolc- id narrow lane. Since the rain started the seventh company street is one sea of bottomless clay. Fortunately our camp including the company street is on a foundation of crushed rock, and the drainage is good. Until the real sou' wester starts! we will not need to worry about weather. During the past week the boys have been sticking much more to camp than formerly. This was due to an order published limiting the number of passes to five per cent of the Company’s strength during the week and ten per cent from Saturday to Monday. The boys are very much dis appointed at the order as most of them arc anxious to take a trip home before the rainy weather sets in. Mr. and Mrs. Alex Imlah were vis itor, last Friday. Mr,. N. J. Myer, ha, moved to Chinook and is seen in camp more or les, frequently. \ye are rejoicing in the fact that During one of his esritar campaigns Francisco Villa had an America* movie photographer, Burrud by name, attached to bls staff, who spent * good deal of his time taking picture* of the excessively vain “general’’ him self. Sometimes, however, Burrud wa* called upon to undertake more stren uous operations. The following story, for instance, is told tn Francis A. Col lins’ “The Camera Man:“ "Burrud was called outdoor» unex pectedly at sunrise one morning and directed to report, with hta camera, at once to headquarters. When he arriv ed, coatless and breakfastless, before Villa's tent he was told that the gen eral had decided to have aome twenty prisoners shot and wanted a moving picture taken of the execution. The prisoners, most of them political mere ly, were to be butchered to make a moving picture scene. “Burrud feigned to examine his cam era closely and then explained to the general that his films were bad and that it would be impossible to take the picture until a new supply had arrived. Villa was disgusted to miss the enter tainment, but the camera man Insisted that there was no use In mnklng the exposure, and the picture and the ex ecution were put off several days. “By the time the next supply of films arrived the general had fortunately changed bls mind and the men were saved.” • there is but one more shot in the arm to come. We have now receiver five besides one and in sonic cases two small pox vaccinations. The tenth company is surely not starving to death. Most of the boys are gaining in weight. Our meals are probably more plain than we had in Tillamook but we are getting a liber al quantity at each meal and the food is well cooked. As a matter of fact a number of officers of the post who aree not assigned to any particular company have acquired the habit of coming to our table foj their meals. From coal we chiefly draw the sun's stored energy, which is required to meet our Industrial and commercial needs. According to statistical records, the output in the United States during an average year Is 480,000,000 tons. In perfect engines thia fuel would be suf ficient to develop 500,000,000 horsepow er steadily for oue ^ear, but the squan dering Is so reckless that we du not get more than 5 per cent of Its beating value on the nverage. A comprehen sive electrical plan for mining, trans porting and using coal could much re duce thlj appalling waste. What is more, inferior grades, billions of tons of which are being thrown uwuy, might be turned to profitable use.—Nikola Tesla In Collier’s Weekly. The Color Cure. To cure smallpox was apparently a very simple matter In the good old times. John of Gsddeston, court doc tor to Edward II., has recorded that he got rid of the disease by the simple expedient of wrapping his patients In red cloth. “Let scarlet red be taken,” he says, “and let lilin who is suffering from smallpox be entirely wrapped In It or In some other red cloth. I did thua when the son of the illustrious king of England suffered from small pox. I took care that all about his lied should be red, and that cure succeeded very well.”—Loudon Tatler. Raising Gwoo. Constipation the Father of Many Ills The raising of geese was a profitable occupation of farming in England years ago, and some farmers bad flocks of 8.0UQ or 10,000. Each goose pro duced a shilling's worth of frathe ns every year and quills to the value of threepence. The quills were used for pens. Of the numerous ill that affect hu manity, a large share start with con stipation. Keep your bowels regular and they may be avoided. When a laxative is needed take Chamberlain’s Tablets.
