( A'foot ball team equipment, equip"ment. for base ball, basket ball and N other games will cost money. Resides the grounds will have to be fixed up in first class condition. Five hundred dollars is a sum all too small to do all that should be done* Business is beginning to be good, cotton is advancing in pHcd and business will be better. It is not asking too much of the merchants of Union to contribute* the $500. Those farmers who, owing to the tremendous decline in the price of cotton during the year, have been blaming -everybody who advocated holding it * ought to be ashamed of themselves. It was a game fight put up by the farmers and it succeeded far better than most ptjople realize. If it had not been for the holding^ movement, cotton, in a month's time would, probably, have' reached 5 cents, and it would not now be sell i'ng at 15 cents, as it is. Those farmers who deserted and sold their crop at 35 cents have been patting themselves on the back and feeling elated over their smartnesa/f^The truth is, if all had done as did-tho.se deserters, cotton today would hardly j be worth hauling- to market. ine price has never gone below 11 cents, and the reason has been that the farmrs refused to take the price offeree!. Cotton is now coming back. The price is steadily advancing and it is very probable that it will go considerably above the present market price. The cotton farmers of the South won a far greater victory last season than they are disposed to believe. ONE THING TO HELP OUR BOYS A business man of Union suggests . that there be a movement put on to encourage the Union High School Athletic Association. The suggestion is an excellent one, and should be give the approval of the business men of the city. There is no one thing that would tend to encourage our boys to continue through the whole high school course more than a thorough course in athletics. Both body and mind will, in such conditions, be materially aided, and instead of graduating a class with but one or two boys, as has been the case heretofore, we will be having two or three doZen boyt continuing the course to the completion. We hope the suggestion referred to may meet with the approval of the business men. It will certainly meet the ap* proval of the school boys, and no doubt the school authorities will be willing to coonerate fullv in the mat ter. If the athletic association will pet into, line, unite their forces, an.l help in such a move, we will endeavor to aid in every why possible. A sum of $500 will have to be raised to properly equip the various departments of work to be undertaken. This sum should be contributed by the business men of Union. We have no doubt but that the entire sum of $500 could be raised in a week in from $10 to $25 subscriptions. Tt would be of preat pood to our school, and stimulate the life of the school amazinply. We will await suppcs tions from the boys and from the business men. We will help to put over the raisinp of the $500 and will in every 1p?ss?^'e w?y. lend our assistance.

Think Germany Won the Wair V Kiel, Aug. 26.?German-Americans who frequent the lobbies of hotels in Berlin can often be he^rd remarking that Germany has won the war. If they were to visit Kiel and other .German naval bases they would probably get a decidedly different impression. Nothing could he more complete than the desolation which hovers over Kiel harbor, formerly the pet war harbor of the German navy and probably the best haven in all Europe. The great shipyards which created most of the craft for the German navy are fcilent. . Rusty sheds mark the' .scene of former activity. Idle, deserted docks stand as sad reminders of days when Kiel was the point to which all German eyes, and in fact all , the eyes of Europe were directed. All machinery which the Allied \ commissions regarded as useful for r war purposes has been dismantled. Floating docks, cranes and other expensive equipment have been moved away to recompense Germany's enemies for the damage done by Admiral von Tirpitz' submarines. In normal times, Kiel had 50,000 na- j val officers, sailors and emnloves in the harbor all the time. Now the naval . personnel is less than 1,000. The city which formerly had a population 06 , 250,000 has lost all of its great government payroll and one-fifth of its * population. Fort Falkenstein and the other bat- ! teries which covered the Baltic entrance to the Kaiser William Canal have been reduced to piles of crumbled concrete and twisted steel. Their great guns have been sawed into bits ] and pitched into scrap heaps. The naval academy is closed. An empire without a navy has no use for more naval officers. The attendance at the university has dwindled. The castle .of Prince Henry, overlooking the nacal harbor, has been taken over by the workingmcn for a club, and there are no warships in the magnificent waterway where the former Emperor William used to review his navy with pomp. It was here that the flower of the German navy lay, safe behind torpedo nets, during most of the war. At present there are only two antique cruisers lying at the irftperial naval decks. These were so far out of, date that the English and French] didn't think it was necessary to scrap them, and hesitated to offer such craft to any of the nations which had heloed win the war. Small commercial shipyards ar.e operating and the commercial harbor still has a little business. The Kiel Canal is still quite active. N-'t Kiel derives little benefit from ; the business passing through the canal 1 and cannot revive materially until ex-! change conditions become such that It 1 can again buy timber from the Scan- J dinavian countries and resume its im- 1 portance as a lumber depot for Central Europe. 1 Charlotte, Aug. 22.?More than 160, manufacturers of North Carolina and Son h Carolina already have contracted for exhibit space in the big brick, 1 ste?l and concrete building erected especially for the Made in Carolinas Ex- < position, which will be held here Sept. 12 to 20 to give the people of 1 these states opportunity to familiar- t ize themselves with tno great diver- I sity of Carolinas manufacturer products. ExVautive Secretary Patton siyd i today only a relatively small amount ! of space for exhibits remains unsold I and most of this is covered by options. "At the last minute, we expect, we * will find ourselves amharrassed by be- < ing forced to deny exhibit space to < manufacturers who delayed reaching a decision," Mr. Patton added. 1 Secretary Mellon announces money < in United States treasury will be ' kept in cleaner condition.

It kills adult and youpg lice, including the young lice which emerge from eggs present at the time of treatment. Sodium fluorid can be obtained in two forms, known as commercial and is chemically pure, ftoth of these are in the dry state, the first being a dry powder and the second in small crystals somewhat lumpy. While chemically pure is effective, it is not sq easily applied by the dusting meth>d as the more finely powdered com nerciai lorm, anu lurtnermore is more expensive. The commercial ?rade shourd contain 90 to 98 percent sodium fluorid. In a dry state sodium fluorid does lot deteriorate rapidly. It should be cept in a dry place, either in bottles' .vith stoppers or in closely covered ;ans. In this condition it will remain active indefinitely. Pinch Method Effective. Specialists have found what they rail the pinch method effective against ill lice and to have the advantage against economy of time and ma'terial. rhe material should be placed in4, ah jpen vessed on a table, the fowl held 3y the wings or legs in ope hand tvhile with the -other hand a small pinch of the chemical is placed among the feathers next to the skin. One pinch on the head, one on the neck, two on the back, one on the breast, me below the vent, one on the tail, me oh each thigh - and one on each .ving spread. Dipping Is Quickest Method. Dipping is preferred over dusting aecause it reduces the cost of materials, is more rapidly done and discomfort for the distributor is avoided. Ihe lice die more quickly, too. A supply of tepid water and a tub are leeded. Three-fourths to an ounce j >f commercial or two-thirds of an >unce chemically pure sodium fluorid added to each gallon of water should )e used. It is easily dissolved by stirring. The tub should be filled to withn six or eight inches of the top. Hold :he fowl's wings over the back and inickly submerge the fowl, leaving the head out. Duck the head under mce or twice. Let the bird dlrain a few seconds. Twenty to thirty seconds immersion is enough for the body and only an i.istant for the head. M iss Mahala J. Smith, County Agent. Ply and Bait Casting Tournament PnrtUn,! Aiw, 1Q 1 OfU m. uitiuiiu, v/iv) a*/. 1 iiu iuvji ntemational fly and bait casting tournament, Riven by the Multnomah \nglers' Club, under the auspices of the National Association of Scientific Angling Club, opened today at Eellwood i'ark pool, with famous inglers from all parts of the United States and Canada anions the entries. In addition to the all-round championship, eleven events will be contested during the four days the tournament which will end on Aiofust 22. All flics, lines and paraphernalia to be used in the tournament was supplied from national headquarters, so that all casters will be on equal footing This being the first international meet of the kind held on the Pacific Coast, the Multnomah Anglers' Club hps arranged entertainment of unusual appeal to fishermen. It includes fishing trips to Oregon's most famous streams at the close of the tournament, a visit to Monneville fish hatchery, banquets, touring trips and other attractive features. The >\ew England states, the Middle West and the Pacific Coast angling clubs have entered their most skillful rod weilders and under favorable conditions it is confidently expected that some new records will be established. The program for today calls for one event in the morning and two in the afternoon, being in order, one quarter ounce accuracy bait; dry fly accuracy and one half ounce distance bait. August 20, morning: 5 3-4 ounce distance fly; afternoon accuracy fly, light tackle; one-half ounce accuracy bait.

Gordon, Eresident of the National Woman's 'hristian Temperance Union, at the opening of its 48th annual convention here today. This was the keynote struck by Miss Gordon in her address on "The Expanding Program of Our New Crusade." "We are not discharged from our peaceful anti-alcoholic warfare of the past four decades," Miss Gordon told delegates representing 500,000 W. C. T. U. members. "We cannot lay down our arms. "Much territory remains to be possessed for our foundation principles of total abstinence ancf prohibition. "We thank God for the eighteenth amendment that legally breaks down the bulwark of our enemy. But today he fights in the open. He is very much alive as a law breaker and a beer bolshevist. He would like to make the W C. T. U. believe that its warfare against alcohol is accomplished and that the law enforcement need not be #ur great objective. "Our chief danger lies in the apathy and indifference of many good people who aided in securing the law. An unescapablc obligation. Miss Gordon declared, rests upon every law-abiding citizen bravely to cooperate with federal and state enforcement officials and to work for the election regardless of party affiliations of candidates who' befieved in prohibition and its enforcement Today, she added, the United States is a vastly unified laboratory where the findings and declarations of eminent European and American ' scientists, economists and sociologists concerning the dangers of alcohol drinking and the benefits of prohibition are being successfully tested. "All the world is looking on," Miss Gordon said, "and will judge prohibition by the brand that is labelled 'Made in America.' "To enlighten the family of na- ! tions we must help hold aloft the brightly burning torch of a well enforced. successful nrnhihitnrv* Inw We must still crusade. We must still dare. Comrades, we must Scarry on.' " Reporting on her recent trip to South America, Miss Gordon said that prohibition was a live issue in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay and that the presidents of Chile and Uruguay were enlisted in the prohibition movement. Sentiment for world disarmament the W. C. T. U. leader declared must "unceasingly be created and constantly kept at white heat." Halide, Woman Nationalist Leader Angora, Turkey, Aug. 16.?Dressed in black riding suit and' astride an Arab mare, Halide Hanum, the TurkiaM^jwoman novelist and Nationalist leader, greeted The Associated Press correspondent by the roadside outside of Angora, waving her hand in recognition as the. automobile approached after crossing innumerable mountains and rivers from Ineboli, the contraband port on the Black Sea. Halide invited the correspondent to her home, an Anatolian farmhouse in a nearby gorge. She said she had ridden horseback frequently since she escaped from Constantinople in March, 1920, riding the entire distance to Angora on her horse. \ "My mind and soul are here but my heart is in America with my boys, Ali and Hassan, in college at Urbana. 111.," said the woman who has made herself famous not only as a novelist but by espousing the cause headed by Kemal Pasha who is fighting the Greeks. She spoke of the war with the Greeks and of the difficulty in making peace with the Allies. "Time is our great and best ally,' she said. "We want peace, and we are willing to fight forever for it. It is costly for us but it is the only way. We must have our independence, political, geographic and economic." The correspondent reminded her that these were vague terms used by the Nationalists since the Turkish armistice.* I "It may seem monotonous but we I keep right on saying and thinking the same things," she replied. "When we first said them, we were ridiculed by some of our own people, while the. Allies went on violating the armistice I terms. We have made progress dur-l ing the past two years, and finally, we will win. Haven't the Allies got enough *out of us by taking Mespotamia and Syria ? As for the Greeks, after they have spent all their money and indebted their nation to 'veep up a large atmy, they will be c ,!.'ged to return home. "After we have disposed of the Greeks, then the Allies will have to' drop the capitulations, which originally were priviliges extended to foreign subjects centuries ago by us so we wouldn't need to interfere in thrir affairs. Gradually, the foreign nations have made these capitulations an encroachment on our sovereignty. ' Efficiency in the Kitchen "This thing of being efficient is all right," observes an expert, "but it can be carried to extremes. I know a young couple who ianded in divorce coifrt- all because they were trying to plsn an efficiency kitchen and couldn't agree on whether the stove or the sink was the center of activity."?Pred Kelly in the Nation's Business.
