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.

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.

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.—

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.—

Compare Our Fixtures with Others
There's a big difference in the "fixtures" you get at the
prices asked for different silos.
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.
