There is plenty of wheat counting that in those countries and India, but as a vessel that can haul 5,000 tons from Australia to Europe would in the same time haul 15,000 tons from America and it would haul 10,000 tons from the United States while taking half that quantity from the' Argen tine. Our wheat must be exhausted before the other can be gone after. Conserving wheat and shipping it from this country is the same as building-ships. If the celebration over the completion of the steel bridge is not to take place until the bridge is completed, and it cannot well be pulled off before, it will probably be August instead of July that the combined iollification for the purpose of furnishing employment to the convicts, takes place.

KINDLY TELL THE PUBLIC, GOVERNOR The legislature three years ago appropriated $50,000 kJS -.3. )' . - 7 . HBTfiri Tift 1ft' ,. guyLA ...A.-.n, The Health of "Two Generations" benefitted by the use of Nujol the entwine of flax and the preparing the fibre for market. Since that time there have been all kinds of con flicting reports as to the results of the experiments made. In view of this, and since the matter is entirely in the hands of the governor, it would be an interesting bit of information for the people generally to learn just what the results were, what is being done toward coninuing he work, what has been done, and whether or not the business has proved self-sustaining. The governor in dis charging Superintendent Crawford . of the prison flax department said he had not made good and was not en titled to the bonus promised him in profit. While this statement was made in connection with a sort 'of side' question,-coming from the governor as it did, and concerning a public matter it is supposed to be true. At the same time a short time before the primary election a newspaper, especially friendly to the governor and printed here in Salem, stated the flax experiment was a success, that there was more than $20,000. worth of flax product on hand, that all indebtedness had been paid, and that this was largely due to the governor's care and management. It is self evident that the statement of the governor p.nd that of the newspaper aforesaid cannot both be whollvtrue. It is for this reason the Capital Journal suggests the governor make a statement of the facts. The people of the state are interested to the extent of the money put up, if it has not been paid especially, and the residents of the Willamette vaney ana m iact oi au west ern Oregon are profoundly interested in. view of the fact that it is hoped to make the flax industries the leading ones of the valley. The statistics from Ireland show the average value ot an acre of flax, when it has left the factories in the shape of the finished product ranges from $1,750 to $2,500. Its importance as a crop is shown by. this. With mills here to do the manufacturing", and they will come once the raw material is assured, the product of 10,000, acres, would be worth, manufactured, $20,000,000; and a half of one township with an average crop of flax made into linens and other finished products would represent a value of $22,500,000. The product of a section and a half would have a value equal to the entire agricultural and orchard uroducts of the county. These things are mentioned to Products of the country. These" things are mentioned to the people west of the Cascades, and to point out to the governor that he can do notmng oi more rum lmpuiian to the people than to give them the inside information as to the liax plant at tne prison, me state & mcaouic ress in growing flax, and the outlook for the industry be ing made a permanent feature of the valley's products. This is nskpd simnlv as a matter of justice to the people of the state. They want to know, and having put up their money have a right to know what has become oi it, ana what the results of the experiment are. The governor has all the inside information and is the only person who can make an absolutely correct statement. It is( up to him to say whether he will take the people into-his con fidence and let them know about their own business, or will take the ground that they have no right to know, on that it is in fact "none of their business." GREAT WHEAT CROP PROBABLE " the work, but are handicapped on account of the difficulty in getting riveters. The demand for this class of workers in the steel shipyards makes the supply for ouisiae worK very ngnt and hard to keep after it is secured. However it promises to be one of the biggest affairs ever pulled off in Salem; no- matter how much its completion may be delayed . Oregon as usual was in the lead Saturday in the mat ter ot having the first glimpse of the eclipse, though honors were easy as between her and her northern neisrh bor. The weather conditions were fairlv eood. for while case he showed a there were clouds at times they got out of the way every lew minutes and permitted a good look at the double act in the afternoon sky. Reports from the other side of the mountains, Goldendale, Washington, and Baker. Oregon where the astronomers gathered, are to the effect that the weather conditions were splendid and the observations made by the astronomical experts as successful as was hoped. It is being demonstrated that if city, folks expect to eat regularly as usual during the coming year they will have to help take care of the crops. f. Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason ' The outlook for a bumper crop of wheat was never bet ter, and with favorable weather for a couple of weeks more this promise will become a certainty. If it comes ud to the estimates we will have above 1)00,000,000 bushels of wheat or with normal consumption at home, 500,000,000 bushels for our allies and neutrals. uh our home con rumption kept at the present rate we will have 200,000,000 bushels more than this for export. However the war is net ended and the part of wisdom is to continue conserv ing wheat products for another year with possibly a light LADD & BUSH, Bankers ALL THE THIRD LIBERTY BONDS ARE NOW HERE. THOSE INTERESTED PLEASE CALL . AT THE BANK PEACE TALK ;r It fills my soul with sorrow, that men must fight and kill today and yet tomorrow, and more tomorrow still; I'm tired of all the slaying in spring fields over there, where once the children, maying, with laughter filled the air. I'm wearjr of - the story of shrieks and dying groans,' of weapons red and gory, of graves and dead men's bones. And yet I'd hold it treason to boost for balmy peace; it's surely not the season to give such thoughts release. Until our avalanches of men have crushed the foe, no doves with olive branches will have the slightest show. Until we're done with shooing the Prussian off the walk, the dove that comes a cooing is due to meet a shock. .The peace that leaves the Junker of Prussia still on deck, would be a whole lot punker than war and death and wreck. We had to leave our haying to polish off the Hun, and now we'll go on slaying, until the job is done. We had to quit our farm ing, desert our growing crops, and there'll be no disarm ing while yet a Teuton yawps. A half licked Hun would never foresake his dreams of power, and he'd be worse than ever m less than half an hour. And so no gents or ladies can talk of peace to me, although the war is hades that s multiplied by three. !o:H r and child both pt .;: tx'in a mother's use oi Nujol during -It nursing period: tle timelier, from a c'ciiiued sysKm; the i'Jby Lean toother's '.ood thus made whole J';me.

J. lifrUr at CfoWi Dear Sir: Because of the fact that it was necessary for my wife to take medicine for constipation while nursing our first two children, they both suffered and were pale and cross until old enough to eat for themselves. When the same trouble began with our third child, our physician said that there was no laxative medicine for my wife that would not hurt the baby. I then persuaded my wife to try Nujol, as I had successfully used it. It relieved her without affecting the baby; as a result we have the healthiest, happiest child I ever saw. Signed, (Name and address sent on request) is one of the testimonials from hundreds of users who use Nujol to insure normal bowel-habits, and who then share their abundant health with their babi 3ies.

I really was glad to get out. It was a delightful' afternoon, and I strolled over to the tennis court. I did not tilny, but became so interested in the giuae that I remained longer than I had in tended. I hurried back and flew into the sit ting room with apologies on my lips. Rut my apologies wew hushed, when I saw Julia Collins sitting close to George. "Did you enjoy your walk!" George asked, when I had greeted her as civilly as possible under the circumstances. "1 hope yuu did not hurry," she said. "Xo, although I have remained longer than I intended." ' ' So giving nie a chance to visit with George," she returned.

That George did not understand my r.eason, was proven by his remark: "I am glad you ore getting over your foolUh-dislike for Julia. She is, as'you know a very old friend of mine."
