25 pounds of corn flour, 25 pounds of

proportions. The receipt doubtless Is

GERMANY
By
EPHRAIM DOUGLASS ADAMS
Executive Head, Hletory Depart

“The object of this war Is to deliver
the free peoples of the world from the
menace and the actual power of a vast
military establishment controlled by an
Irresponsible government, which, having
secretly planned to dominate the 'orld,
proceeded to carry out the plan without
regard either to the sacred obligations
of treaty or the long-established prac
tices and long-cherished principles of In
ternational action and honor; . . . This
power Is not the German people.
It Is
the ruthless master of the German peo

It that the history of the rest of the
world Is no longer left to Its handling.

GERMAN RUTHLESSNESS AN IN

war." We now know that cruelty and
barbarism are a definite part of the
German method of making war.

The TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT
Makes Clubbing Arrangement With
Tha Oregon Farmer
Offers Unusual Opportunity to Its Readers
MONG our large circle of readers
there are a great many who are in
terested directly or indirectly in
fruit growing, dairying and other
branches of farming. All of these
naturally wish to keep in close touch with ag
ricultural activities throughout the state;
and to know about any fight which is being
waged for the measures Oregon farmers
want and against all sorts of schemes that
are detrimental to the people and agricultural
interests of this state.
We have, therefore, made a special clubbing
arrangement with THE OREGON FAR
MER whereby any farmer or fruitgrower,
who is one of our regular subscribers and who
is not now a subscriber to THE OREGON
FARMER, will be entitled to receive THE
OREGON FARMER in combination with
this paper at the same rate as for this paper
alone.
This offer applies to all those who renew or
extend thbir subscriptions as well as to all
new subscribers. If you are interested di
rectly or indirectly in Oregon agriculture,
do not miss this unusual opportunity, but
send your order in now.
A
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 gath
ering the news of importance to farmers,
dairymen, fruitgrowers, stockraisers and
poultrymen; and it has the backbone to at
tack 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 at
tractive clubbing offer.
