The latter took him aboard, gave him a good meal, and incidentally explained that he "hated to sink American ships,” and only did so because, with Ger many and the United States at war, he couldn’t help it. He added that he couldn’t really believe the stories that U-boat commanders had fired on life boats, and that "so far as he was con cerned, no lifeboat would ever meet such a fate.” There’s food for reflection in the mere fact that American newspapers should have through this incident worth reporting in full, and that their readers received it with a thrill of in terest and appreciation. Why should so simple an expression of ordinary humanity and decency attract so much attention? Such courteous be havior would have been taken as a matter of course if shown by a rep resentative of any other navy. Can we imagine an American naval com mander doing anything else than ex pressing his regret to the captain of a helpless merchantman that he had been obliged to sink, in obedience to orders? Or firing on a life boat full of innocent non-combattants, orders or no orders? But coming from a U-boat com mander, this expression of humane sentiment compels attention by its exceptional nature. It is so unusual for sailors of any allied or neutral nation to receive any courtesy what ever from representatives of the Ger man navy that one kindly word or act stands out like a beacon above the general welter of ruthlessness and hu- manity. It is a vivid reminder of the ap- palling reputation that Germany has gained at sea, and the long, hard task it will be after the war to live down that reputation. Among the world’s freemasonery of marines the Ger mans will have no friends—not be cause they are Germans, but because of their ready acquiescence in the ugly work their imperial master or dered them to do.—Umpqua Valley News.

A Portland paper, commenting on th«' high price ol fodder and the fact that many dairy cows are being sold lor beef, adds: " I lie quality of milk delivered in the city has been reduced materially owing to the fact that the dairymen are not feeding the sort of food that makes rich milk. They are substituting cheaper foods. There has been a noticable decrease in the amount of butter fat and other solids in samples of milk gathered by the milk inspectors lately, even from the better grade of dairymen.” Nothing lias been more firmly established bv experiments conducted bv the depart ment of agriculture than the fact that save for a very slight variation for a day or two, a change of feed never changes the quality of the cow's milk The same cow always gives the same quality of milk, except that the age of the animal makes some difference. A shortage of one or more of the need ed ingredients in the feed causes a reduction in quantity, but not in quality.—Oregon Register. Ptussian Warfare a Reversion to Barbarism. Socialists delegates to the Minneap olis conference of the American Al liance of Labor and Democracy have joined in a statement that should si lence and shame those socialists who arc playing the kaiser's game by keeping up an agitation for an impos sible peace that would be equivalent to Prussian victory, says the Spokes man Review. The whole case is stated irrefutably in these two brief paragraphs: "German autocracy, with its feudal- istic moves; Gernion junkerdom, Ger man plutocracy—in short, German militarism -constitutes the last cita del of the world's dark, reactionary forces.” “We arc convinced that the war in which tin United States is now en gaged is as just a war as was ever waged hv a liberty-loving people against ruthless aggression and op pressive tyranny. The issue could not be more vivid and clear. Twentieth century progress freedom and enlightenment are fight ing meiii.val doctrines o the divine rfght of kings. The Prussian tyranny is worse than medieval rule, for med ieval warfare bore the redeeming flowers of chivalry and knightly ten derness. It was considerate of child hood. womanhood and age. It pro tected the weak and succored the ill. It gave kindly quarter to a worsted foe. It spared churches, and shrines. Princes who fought their knightly oaths were held in execra tion, and occasional knights who transgressed the laws of chivalry be came outcasts and outlaws. Prussian warfare is a reversion to barbarism and savagery. It seeks vic tory through terrorism on land and sea. It tears up treaties, betrays the privileges of its diplomats at neutral capitals, and proclaims itself above international law. Socialists with hearts and vision see the truth and are fired with righteous resolution to lift their lances against the monstrous evil of Prussian intol erance, cruelty and crime. SEPTEMBER 20. 1917. OREGON STATE FAIR Government Purchase of Wheat. The government through the $50,- 000,000 United States grain corpora tion of the national food administra tion, entered the wheat market and the theory of government control had it first actual tryout. The government is buying only on warehouse receipts, and no contract will be made for future delivery. Some minor details still remain to be worked out, but they are not of sufficient moment to interfere with the operation of the system. These have to do with the methods cf pro cedure, as, for instance, the corpora tion is not yet declared to charge the 1 per cent for handling as a matter of price on each transaction, or to sim ply add the 1 per cent to the monthly statement to customers. A retail baker was recently quoted as having said that the farmers would hold out for a higher price for their wheat. As government control does not begin until the wheat reaches the elevators or terminals, there is noth ing to prevent the producer from holding out his individual harvest, but this will be neither feasible or profit able. It was pointed out by an official connected with the corporation that in the first place an individual holding would not affect the supply, and in the second place that, as congress fixed next year’s prices on the basis of $2 wheat, there would be no chance of risking the loss by deter ioration to meet a condition thart would exclude greater profit. The control of the food administra tion over prices begins in the eleva tors and ends with the sale of flour at a 25-cent-a-barrel profit by the millers.. If bread prices are not low ered and the bakers seek to keep the increased profit that will obtain be tween the lowered milling prices and the present high retail prices, then the food administration will step in, but until that condition arises the cor poration will not interfere. The food law allows millers to keep only a thirty-day stock on hand, a measure to prevent hoarding, and the corporation has not made public an agreement that may have been reached as to the proportionate allot ment to the various mills. These al lotments are being carefully worked out between Mr. Barnes and James Bell, chairmen of the central millers’ committee. The arrangement between the cor poration and the mills of the United States began on September 10, but it was in order to furnish a stable basis to the thousands of country elevators and other buyers who are in doubt as to the value of their pur- chases when delivered at the termin- als that the corporation began the making of purchases by the various zone agencies. Price of Potatoes May Possible be «<» Cents. While the new crop of potatoes is now w’orth about two cents per pound the commission men say the chances arc good for a decided drop in prices as soon as general digging begins and the big potato states can average up their crops. The Idaho crop is a bumper one and Colorado and Minnesota both heavy growers of potatoes report ex cellent conditions. All of which may possibly mean that the price here as an opener may be something like 50 or 60 cents. PROFIT BY THIS ------ o------ Don’t Waste Another Day.
