misfortune if a real salutary lesson is not given them be
fore the army leaves so they will remember it for this
generation at least. One good scrap would do it.
The Lousiana board of education is striking at one of
the sources of human enslavement and depreciation, that
it considers a threat to the coming generation. It will not
permit the use in the public schools of primers containing
tne wicked Motner uoose rhymes that erstwhile glad
dened the minds of the kiddies. They should commit to
memory those famous lines in that same good old book
beginning:
"There was a man in our town
And he was wondrous wise."
A NATION OF WASTERS
As a result of the war and the consequent shortage of
dyes which mostly came from Germany, a plant costing
$:!0,000,000 is being erected near Pittsburg for the pur
pose of utilizing the by-products of the coking furnaces.
In Germany all these are used, the principal one being
the basis of dyes. Not only will the heretofore wasted
. materials be utilized but the smoke and gasses will be
done away with and an unmitigated nuisance gotten rid
of at the same time. The war is teaching America a vast
number of things that will be of material benefit to her
through all the years to come. It is teaching her to stop!
waste in hundreds of places, and to extract from her raw
materials all their values without saving a few and dump
ing the balance into the waste pile.
It is claimed that the saw dust wasted, daily in the
mills of the northwest would make 20,000 tons of paper,
and that from the mills of the south a still larger amount.
Yet for all the time mills have been running in this
country that product has gone to waste. At the same
time there is almost a paper famine, as is shown by the
east ordering print paper from the mills at Oregon City
but a few days ago the first order, by the way ever sent
the west for paper of this kind. In the eastern cities
thousands of tons of old paper are destroyed. In fact of
all this material there is practically none used the second
time or for any more valuable purpose than kindling for
the fires.
It is so in all lines. We as a people are just naturally
wasters. We throw away the remnants from our tables
that people of other nations gladly save and make over
into palatable dishes.
We waste in wearing materials, and were it not for
someone with a thrifty disposition, who sees the values
in these wastes, we would probably burn most of our old
clothes, as indeed many do.
There is a sample of this here in Salem just now, that
shows how much is wasted. Mr. Steinbach is preparing
for shipment to the east some 80 tons of woolen rags, cast
off clothing that but for his thrift and energy would have
been an entire waste, but which not only will net him a
snug sum but really help to rill the insatiable demand
for rags.
Before the war thousands of tons of rags were im
ported from Europe, when the tarilV on wool was the
highest and these were made into shoddy. Many an
American's best suit was manufactured largely from the
cast off garments of those who had not nearly as much
money or halt the wage. i
It is so in most manufacturing plants in this country. i
The big packing plants are a noted exception, for it is said
of them they save every part of the hogs they kill except
the squeal. They get old Dutch cleanser as one product,
pepsin as another, bristles, hides, glue from the hoofs, the.
fat of the oil'al is saved, and the oll'al itself is worked up
and sold as fertilizer. ,
What the packers have done in their business the
thrifty Germans have done in practically all lines. They
have studied every phase of their raw products and have,
practically utilized all of them.
That lesson we are perforce learning, and thus while;
Europe is exhausting its resources in war we are just;
learning to utilize ours, and to that extent becoming self-j
sustaining. The countries that once found America their,
best market will learn before long that their enforced:
keeping out of our markets have taught us to supply themi
for ourselves, and they will be lost to them forever. We
have been wastrels and spendthrifts, and easy picking fori
our more sensible and more thrifty neighbors; now. at j
the worst, we will only take advantage ot the untrlutt ot
our own people.
The Mexican situation has resolved itself into the two
propositions, intervene or get out. As Mexicans are re
lying apparently on Germany coming to their aid, being
entirely misinformed as to the situation, it looks like it
would be wise to give that country her lesson now. She
certainly needs it and it would be a splendid opportunity
to organize and train an army.
What is the'matter with Nebraska? Henry Ford gets
the vote on account of his peace propensities, and Bryan,
a native son and the avator of peace is turned down for
the lowly job of delegate to the Democratic national convention.
STRANGE WEDDING PARTY
New York. April 21. While
the lion roared an accompani
ment to ' challinpc wedding
march. Francis Short and .Miss
Elsie Roiiiekinj; were made man

wedding New York has ever
seen. The pair are midgets with

performing the 'function.
A giant, six times the size of
the bridegroom, was the best

giantess. The happy pnir were
wished well by glass eaters,

With Mayor Albee and his missing woodpile, Commis

the Jackson club on its mind and hands, the Oregonian

life.
Experts say the supply of gasoline will be exhausted
in 27 years, but what's the difference? By that time the
auto owners, if gasoline keeps getting higher, will either
be broke or have abandoned the game.
Beef was the highest yesterday in the Portland

This is about as high as beef has" gone since the time

In his address Wednesday night, Senator Burton said
the "republicans and progressives had said some very
hard things about each other," but forgot to remark that
most of these statements were true.

Bird Houses On Exhibit
at the Public Library
The Children's Room at the Public
Library is attracting yreat attention at
present with n displav of about sixty
bin) houses. These bird houses were
made by the boys in the Washington
Junior High School under the direction
of Othn ('. Ilart who has charge of the
Manual Training. It would seem that
almost any Wi even the most discrim
inating might find a pleasant and suit
able home ntnonir these most attractive
homes. There are houses of all sizes
and descriptions, some with stucco
work, some of ba'rk, some with bark
and moss, and all sorts. Some are reg
ular apartment, houses and will accom
modate a number of families but the
majority pxpect only one family. One
bears a sign "For Kent for a Song"
and another "Dow Drop Tun."
These bird houses were on exhibit
Tuesday which was parents' visiting
day at the Junior High School. Mr.
Hart, the director of the department
had arranged them most realistically
and attractively in a pastoral setting,
with two artificial lakes, shrubbery,
trees, some stuffed birds and some real
songsters as well as some other of the
woodland people.
During the exhibit at the school five
prizes were awarded to the five best
bird houses: These houses a'e all at
the library and are together in one
corner with the I'.ird liulletin and the
hooks on birds which the librarian has
on display with the houses.
This exhibit will be at the Library
until next Tuesday. Jf you are the
least bit interested in birds and tlieir
ways it is well worth seeing and you
are cordially invited to the library
this week to see them.

The Low Spread Spreader
It Looks Good It Wears Well It Spreads Better
"LTERE is a manure spreader that spreads evenly
when turning corners. With this machine you
simply drive alonp; and the spreader takes care of the corners.
Both the apron drive and the beater drive are driven from the axle,
instead of one from one wheel, and one from the other, as is true hi so
many spreaders. This arrangement keeps the spreading even at all
times.
The Low Spread has abundant tractive power at all times because
the rear wheels are weil under the load. It is made of steel in all but
the few places where wood is better than steel.
The box is waist high, and yet the machine has plenty of clearanca
so that you can Use it on rough ground, in deep snow, or in. sloppy
barnyards.
The Low Spread is universally admitted to be the best spreader on
the market today, Our sample machine will show the features wliicii
make it the best spreader. Come in and see them.

There is no longer any doubt but that tho attack on
