ARROGANCE COUNTER-BALANCES INTRIGUE JGIerman intrigue has accomplished much and has caused the war to be extended far beyond what it other wise would have been. As trickster and trouble makers the junkers are at the top. It is a fortunate thing that with this trait so pre-eminently developed they have not a particle of tact in handling a situation. or a people after they have gained the one and fooled the other. They cannot stand prosperity, and they cannot treat a con quered people with decency. This is no doubt due to the idea inculcated in the German brain for the past fifty years at least, that the German is a superman. He can not treat those with whom he comes in contact, especially after having got the better of them with common decency, or meet them as equals. In six months the arrogant Prus sian has undone in Russia what the trickster Prussian was three years in accomplishing. The Russian people will soon be forced together again to make common cause against their deadliest enemytheir friend, the Junkers. Ukraine and Russia will get together again, first, because of their common blood and second, because of a common object, the preservation of the Slav race. v Former Governor West's senatoral candidacy seems explained by his proposal to get out of the way of Senator McNatry, providing all other candidates will do the earner This indicates what most people suspected when West's announcement was made--that there was an un derstanding between the two politicians and that they would not run against each other. It seems now that West's' candidacy was sprung merely for the purpose of bargaining with theother aspirants in hopes of clearing the field for McNary. Anyway, the West proposition should bring the democrats to their senses and if they tiave any regard for their party or the least political self respect should cause them to nominate Judge King for their senatorial candidate. No one for a moment be lieves that West, if nominated, will make the race against McNary. The fighting around Ypres yesterday was fierce and continuous. After a tremendous artillery battle the in fantry was hurled at the allied armies at several points hut no gains were made. It is claimed a heavy toll of human lives is being taken, and that the German losses are such that the German preponderance of man-power ia rapidly passing away. When it does it is gone forever, for just now the German armies are at their strongest, with the empire combed to provide every available man. Germany is staking her all on this drive, and if she fails it will then be a defensive. war for her and one which before long should wear her out. When the war is carried onto German soil there will be a sudden end to it for with a losing fight before them the German people will not stand for further sacrifices. in PrtTlHif lfin TrT QrfnTYmlic Vl TVUlPrl ?t la ntllfa ItL-oKt c-Vn nnll r Tli" ill a m r i , J V, Ihadbeenhereonlyaday"!.;- rr wa;heJ up by th. be given some of the things the Turks have and others the "i ami . uriguti- David kCh Lrnter and-w.u i Buleranans want.

"You never miss the lager till the keg runs dry," is an old saying and a true one. While the lager is no longer present in sufficient quantities to make the comparison especially ape, ic is goo.d enougn to call attention to the way the auto owners, or users, get away with the gasoline. While it is nearing a shortage that will cause its use to be stopped only for absolutely necessary business, the heed less American continues to burn it regardless of conse quences. Auto's are driven thousands of miles daily here, in Marion county and for no other reason than that the cars are handy and the riding pleasurable. As illustrating the difference between the American government and that at Berlin the treatment of indigent aliens is apt. Secretary Lansing has made arrangements for the care of the families of such interned aliens as are in need. The assistance to them will be given through the Swedish and Swiss representatives in this country. S. B. Houston, candidate for the nomination for United States senator on the republican ticket has slug ged his slogan, smashed his platform and quit the race. This leaves it between Stanfield and McNary. On the democratic side it is also a race between two,. West and King. ; : . i ! : dnter and well I condition but it is ia a pig.

Continued dry weather during the pollinization has insured heavily laden limbs, and there should be a cherry crop that will be the record for years. Now that this matter has been attended to by kind old Dame Nature, she might vary the program profitably by sending a little rain. The winter has been ideal for wheat and the growth is such as is seldom seen even in the Willamette valley at this time of the year. Just a little rain to soften the top of the ground is all that is needed, and the crop can go for some lima yet without suffering much, damage. It is reported the Germans are putting three more big nws in place to continue the bombardment of Paris. While the noble junkers may kill a few women and mur der a few more babies the big guns will win them noth ing but will accentuate the supreme contempt in which they are held, and in which future generations will still hold them. IADD & BUSH, Bankers The Third Liberty Bond Sale is now on. We have a Liberty Bond Department in one "of our Lobby Stalls. A teller is constantly in charge ready to 'answer questions and take subscriptions. Xenophen P. Wifley is to be the new senator from Mis souri to succeed the late Senator Stone. He has been of fered the place and has accepted. Champ Clark and Judge Graves both turned the offer of the position down. This left the opening for the author of the Anabasis. Now that all the military men and most of the politicians have wired daily that America will have to furnish the man power to win the war," let us all accept the statement as a fact and save telegraph tolls and wires. 1 darling baby for my own.

I thought, as 1 lef the vestibule and found my chair. I had some reading matter and my candy. The ear was crowded, and I en tertained myself frequently by watching the people, speculating upon their rela tionships, etc. Among the passengers was a witinau or girl, no older than I. She had the dearest baby, and I asked her if sho wouldn 't like mo to hold her while she went into the dining ear for her lunch eon. She acceded gratefully. . . "Baby is very good, but I haw) been traveling nearly four days and I am tired," she said, as she put the little darling on my lap. I was surprised when sho returned half an hour later. It hadn't seemed ten minutes. Th.e barty had cooed and laughed, played with my watch, and been altogether adorable. I never had thought much about children. I guess I was 1oo young. But, all suddenly, I darling baby fot my own.

A dollar would be considered reasonable under those conditions. kept her over an hour while the mother slept. Then when she came for her, w.e talked a while. Her name was Grant. Mrs. Grant, and she had called the babv "Nellie." ' It sound funny In sav it. but no name seemed to appeal to either my hus- oanu or i except the name President Grant's dnuglitexJiad. So we iust gave it to her." "Nellie Grant." I said it aloud. "Yeh I think perhaps I should havo f.dt the same. It would be hard to think of an tl -her name for a little Grant girl." Time urags. Mrs. Grant left the train about threi o'clock. Sho told me her husband was to meet her. That sho had been visitiig her mother in California for six weelu; nd that she was afraid lie would not know the baby, she had grown jo. When the trail stopped at a small Awn where she got off, I pag,rly watch ed the meeting between her and the tall, brouzed, young fellow who met her. He was dress-.Hl like an engineer, or some thing of that sort, but she just lun,; to him and his face fairly shone, j watched them almost as longingly as 1 had my own people when 1 left them. They seemed so awfully glad to see each other. AWFULLY was too only word that expressed it. I wondered how Geo'rgo would meet me. He wonld probably kisB me. He had kissed me good-bye. But he would think it bad form to show such delight ns that young fellow had shown. Ho would kiss me once, ask me if I had a good time, and help me into the car. Would he be glad- :'.o see me, really gladt I hoped so. I felt so anxious to present a good appearance, that I tried to get a little nap. I closed my eyes and rested, but could not sleep. I had too much to think about. The afternoon dragged dreadfully. And no one on the raiu was happier than I, when tlvj por tor called: " Moreliind, the next stop! All out for Mori-land.

Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason THE PATIENT PEOPLE How patient are 'the people ! Their patience rings the bell; it's higher than a steeple, and deeper than a well. They hear pro-German praters uplift their ears and bray; they see potential traitors around them every day. In other lands . such critters would back against a wall, and there they'd take their bitters---some buckshot in their gall. But we've a sense of humor, and we have mere ly laughed at treason's noisv boomer and 3 kultur's vicious graft. But patience, though 1 elastic, will break, if stretched too far: and ,'"u r'"-'-T,J ovmv. incuouiia uiaaiiw liic itujilc tail ing are. Oh, now and then some fellow who fails to do his bit, is painted lemon yellow, and told to hit the grit. And now and then some slacker, who wears his face ajar, some cheap pro-German slacker, receives a coat of tar. The patience of the peopk is mighty hard to break; it's higher than a steeple and wider than a lake; but it's been sorely tested, and when it breaks away, it cannot be arrested by any mortal jay. So let the fools take warning while now the signs they see, or they may be adorning a lamp-post or a tree. IF YOU WANT TO BUY OR SEL SOMETHING, "DON!

No organ of the body gives peo ple more trouble and distress than the stomach, though It also gives much pleasure and satisfaction. Its troubles range from tho sim plest dyspepsia to the serious ulcer and the fatal cancer. Especially after maturity, when people are constantly Indulging in all sorts of Improprieties in eating and drinking, Is the stomach prone to be rebellious and refuse to submit to maltreatment. The stomach is at work so many Hours out of the twenty-four, it is not strange it should give out and show Its exhaustion by disease. All kinds of food pass into this organ, but It digests only the pro telds or albuminoids. The mucus secreted by lta glands gives moisture and sllpperlness to the food mass, and the hydrochloric acid and pepsin digest or liquify it These substances mj be in ex cess, they may be deficient, and In rare cases they may be absent. Sub-acidity, or hypochylia, means there is not enough of them for digestive purposes, Just as la super acidity there Is too much. Sub-acidity Is less common than super-acidity, occurs oftenest with. those who have soma kind of nerv ous disorder and Is unattended by Inflammation or gastritis. It comes and goes and alternates with periods, when there is too much, hydrochloric acid. This fact is determined by ex amination of the contents ot the etomacit removed when digestion ia at its height. Connected with sub-acidity Is a condition known as "atony" of the stomach; which means that the mus cular coat Is more or" less paralyzed and does not contract and churn: lta contents about, which is an .essen tial part ot the digestive process. The conditions causing sub-acidity may continue until, at length, no acid at all Is secreted, which would mean that some of the tubules which produce gastric Juice have atrophied. or withered, and will be of no fur ther use. If there is only moderate sub-acidity, there may be no urgent symp toms of any kind; but if the con dition persists, anaemia may de velop with possible termination la cancer, hence the matter must not be neglected. The ordinary symptoms, are dis comfort and a sense of weight and fullness when digestion is- going on. want of appetite, belching, head ache, dizziness and constipation. In treating it, the general con dition should be improved by simple food, a glass of hot Water befora meals, sleep In abundance, out-door exercise, sunshine, and freedom, from worry if possible. Should the disease become very troublesome, the contents of tha stomach should be examined and a course of treatment Instituted by ona who Is familiar with stomach dis eases. ' Questions and Answers.
