WAR AND INVENTION
States government was having its dispute with Germany,
which country finally conceded the points, can't see it now
when they have before them the note of the United
States to their own government relative to British inter
ference with shipping.
Winston Churchill hands out the cheering opinion that
the war may last two or three years yet. Still his lord
ship may be wrong in this matter, as he confesses he was
in some other things.

Substitutes for various articles that have been con

some features of life in the future, and after this war is
over will serve to reduce the cost of living.
The cutting off of the supply of aniline dyes from Ger
many has led to the invention of processes for making
dyes in America, and, incidentally, to other discoveries of
great value. But it is the necessities wheh the cuttng off
of its import trade has forced on German invention that
promise to be of the greatest service to the world.
The need for economy has led the Germans to utilize
the blood of slaughtered animals for food, and German
chemists have even succeeded in producing albumen for
food purposes by the direct combination of hydrogen and
mtrorrcn contained in the air. Hitherto the world has
had to wait until these elements had passed through the
processes of animal life and the albumen could be obtained
in animal food products.
How much the German synthetic process of producing
albumen may mean for the world in largely decreasing
the need for raising animals for foods can be easily un
derstood, should it prove of lasting value.
The large extension of the use of electricity has great
ly advanced the demand for copper. But the difficulty of
obtaining copper has obliged the German chemists to find
substitutes, and iron, zinc and aluminum are now used
there for many purposes for which copper was thought
indispensable.
It is also stated that the Germans are using willow
bark and other vegetable fibers as substitutes for cotton
in making artificial rubber.
The war has greatly stimulated invention in many
directions, and, after the war is over life will be made
more agreeable and easier by the new products discovered.

W. J. Turnbridge Is Engaged
In Making Extensive
Experiments
The Willamette valley, having in
many respects a climate similar to Eng
land, the homo of peppermint, will
eventually become the center of the
peppermint industry, according to W. J.
Turnidge, who has leased the W. S.
Mott farm near Salem.
It has been proven by actual test that
peppermint can be produced in paying
quantities on suitable land in this comi
ty and Linn and several farmers near
Knox Butte, Linn county, have been
experimenting with satisfactory results.
The farm of W. S. Mott, on Battle
creek, south of Salem, has been leased
by Mr. Crabtree nnd will be partially
planted to peppermint. He has lately
come into possession of a farm of ililS
acres at the junction of the Santinm
nnd Willamette rivers, and it is in this
low land that .Mr. Turnidgc will con
dact his greater experiments, la all,
he expects to plant 30(1 acres in pepper

Always something to worry about! The Minneapolis

tic industry and transportation stirs the country. The
steel mills are gorged with orders that have little to do
with munitions of war. Production of construction steel,
rails and transportation equipment rivals that of shells
and gun forgings, and such orders are more readily ac
cepted by mills not overworked. The war orders fill a
larger proportion of space in the newspapers than in
the mills."
JUDGMENT
It is not wise to use the judgment throne, unless you
have no blemish of your own. Are you so free from every
sin and vice, so pure in thought, so everlasting nice, that
you dare judge the gents who misbehave,
call one a chump, another one a knave? Is
your own record like the driven snow, that
at a neighbor you the harpoon throw? This
morn I heard old Jabez Weatherwax rip
sundry fellows up their absent backs; one
beats his wife, his home with anguish fills,
one borrows cash, one doesn't pay his bills;
al) have their faults, as Weatherwax ex
plained; licentiousness is in their nature
grained. And so I said, "O Jabez Weather
wax, a man like you, who high in virtue
stacks, a man so wise, a man so truly good, should not
permit his wife to saw the wood, to pack m coal, since

tor a time with water during the win

advisable to rotate crops and to plow

This is worth serious thought, says the Daily Astorian:
" 'You don't realize what a nervous strain you are putting:
on a man in the cab,' said a Southern Pacific locomotive
engineer the other day to an Ashland automobile driver,
'when you dash up toward a crossing just ahead of his;
train. There he is in his cab and he knows that he can't!
stop his engine. There you are in your automobile speed
ing toward the crossing just ahead. You probably knowj
that you are going to stop just at the edge of the trackj
and look up and laugh at him. He doesn't know but whatj
you are going to try to dash across ahead of him. It's a'
joke maybe to you. To him it's a few seconds of the mostj
intense agony. Why do you do it? When you see a train(
coming and know that you can't make the crossing andj
don't even intend to try to make it why don't you slow
down and give the engineer the assurance that his train
is not about to hurl you into eternity'?"
