TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, MARCH WITH THE EDITORS — o Discuss Questions of Interest to People. It seems to be generally accepted as a fact that the government lias de vised a successful submarine destroy er, and a plant for turning out these undersca-booten killers is being erect ed by Henry Ford at a cost of $5,000- 000 that will be placing them in large numbers within three months.—Sheri dan Sun. Over in Coos county the county court is fitting out their home guard with uniforms that cost something like $19 each—some style to those "guys”—but the people of that section of the state seem to have a faculty for palling together, which is a wonder ful asset and makes a real live com munity.—Umpqua Valley News. ------ o------ There is but one conclusion to reach in the matter of the Non-Partisan League, which under the guidance of C. E. Spence, J. D. Brown and others Oregon politicians is making a stren uous effort to enlist the farmers in their organization, and that is that the entire effort is now and alwaws has been political. The name is a misno mer, it is partisan to the backbone.— Lebanon Criterion. A railroad man tells of the latest and best graft. He says that at Kansas City, two men go up and down the trains leaving for Kansas, and pick up suit cases and traveling bags, ask who owns them and if no one answers, walk off with them. You sec, if there is boose in the suitcases, not even the owner wants to claim them, so these grafters get the booze, suit case and all.—Telephone Register. With Brodie, of the Oregon City Enterprise, Taylor of the Molalla Pioneer, Elbert Bede of the Cottage Grove Sentinel, and Joe Hurley of the Forest Grove News-l imes, all in the race for a season at Salem, it looks like the newspaper fraternity were coming into their own. Good luck to the boys. They have spent their lives boosting for some one else, now it is their turn.—Oswego Times. ------ o------ There is a correspondent to a Port land newspaper who says that it would seem proper for every man and woman in the state to “hold up their hands to high heaven and swear never t; vote for another attorney for mem ber of the legislature.” Well, we wouldn't make it quit that strong but, between a successful businessman or farmer and the lawyers that usual ly seek seats in the legislature it wouldn't take us long to decide.— Newberg Enterprise. t»' ------ 0------ Just as we predicted a few weeks ago the Hun kaiser wretch is trying to force the captured Russians into his slave army. And that isn’t all that the Hun kaiser wretch will do, he will put tiiese poor captured slaves in the very front fighting line so as to get them killed off first, that’s the program, and a mild part of the low down rotten depraved "kultur” stuff he has a fool idea he thinks he can force the rest of the world. Yes, go and kiss the dirty feet of this miser able Hun wretch, worship his inhu manity and shed sympathic tears.— Banks Herald. It looks as though it were going to be a great war for automobiles as dealers are already reporting sales. The greater number of automobiles among the farmers the faster will come the era of good roads. In years gone by, the farmers as a class were opposed to the benzine buggies, but they have come to recognize it as an almost necessary vehicle on the farm. It brings the farm closer to town and closer to market. Not only has the automobile proved a helpful friend to tin farmer but the auto truck and the tractor are now receiving his atten tion. A goodly number of tractors will be operated on Yamhill county farms this season.—News Reporter. Some of our framer friends who evidently think lightly of the proposal that townsmen employ their vacations in helping save the crops should post pone final decision and also avoid hasty judgment. It is easy to see that the proposal may have a funny side, and al-o that the farmer is apt to con sider unskilled labor worse than no help at all, and he is very likely right. But no otic knows what the coming vc.tr has in store, and it should be re membered that women and children ami old men are the farm laborers in Europe. \\ e may not come to that un happy condition, but witli an insistent demand for labor in industries allied with the war the labor problem is bound to be more or less acute.— 11illsboro Independent.

Compare fixtures when you buy a silo. It is the fix- tures that make a silo. Durability, security and stability are determined by the anchorage, the size, quality and number of cables, hoops, lugs and staples. Convenience and ease of getting at your silage for use are determined by the door and ladder construction. Many silos are priced without hinged doors or ladders. In other .words, you pay as "extras" for necessary con veniences without which your silo is incomplete. Notwithstanding our lower price, we include more and better fixtures than many who ask more for their silos. In some cases we supply more of a given item thia others, as in anchorage cable. In others, our fixtures are stronger or better in whatever vital point deter mines their value. Keep this ad and check our fixtures as described above, with those offered by other silos. Don’t pay more and get less, or buy hall a sdo when you can get a complete one. 11 mimili i mill W. KUPPENBENDER. I RbEX. MeNflIR & CO generad H arduurre Kitchen Ranges and Heatinq Stoves.
