OREGON, AMERICA'S NATIONAL DISH. New York newspapers report that at the recent hotel exposi tion, a vote was taken to decide what is the national dish of the United States. Chicken won out as our characteristic food, turkey was second, and pork and beans third. Corn beef and cabbage, which at first had much support, ran behind. Formerly chick en and turkey were regarded as something of a luxury which or dinary people could not often afford. This has been particularly true of turkey, owing to the difficulties encountered in raising that noble bird. But as time has gone on and people spend money free ly, the supplying oZ poultry for market has become a tremendous industry. The chicken dinner at least is a common feature in millions of homes. A census of American habits 25 years ago mififht have made corned beef the national dish. When cooked with cabbage and other vegetables it produced a melange dear to the hearts of the old timers. Corned beef sandwiches were the staple food of picnics and thin slices pUced between two well buttered portions of home made bread created a provender that lingers long in memory. A multitude of families ate corned beef day after day without tiring of it. Also a great deal of the hard work of the country is still based on the honest and substantial pork dinner. People's tastes have become somewhat more fastidi ous. Some object to the old fashioned corned beef and boiled din ner, because of the way the vegetables scent up a house or because their flavors get merged into each other in the kettle. Neverthe less, and although the use of the more delicate meats from the poultry yard has nade big progress, the American people still make beef, pork and lamb with the various breads, the foundation of their diet. Our folks are extravagant, as when they pay so high for choice cuts of meat. But they do not as a rule call for costly novelties or fancy cooking stunts. SLIPPING A college student was saying the other day that ha felt that a good many students are positively harmed by tht experiences in the highest institutions of learning. If his point is well taken it would apply also to many students in all grades of -schools. He noted that when young people first enter college, they are warned by the faculty that they must work hard or they will not pass. They are sometimes told that they must study as much as two hours a day on each lesson. At first they feel fearful of failing, and they do study hard. But by and by they find that they can slip through with much less work. They gut into lax habits, go into their classes poorly prepared, and yet often succeed in "get ting by." They acquire from this experience the idea that they can go through life on an easy going basis and dodge. many of its requirements. Conditions "lii" high schools are often about the same. While such folks were in school or college, they could usual ly pass if they got GO to 70 per cent markings. But when they take a job in an office or factory and only get 60 to 70 per cent of 'their work right, they last oniy a very short time. They are thrown out to make plnce for those who have more persistence and ambition. Young people of that type become tail enders for their whole life. They are the first to be laid off when dull times come, laid doors of promotion do not open to them. Their difficulties date back to those school days when they got the idea into their head hul they could slip past the tests of life without doing thor ough work. The existence of this large class of people opens a door of opportunity before these who are thorough and faithful. The employer quickly finds those who are trying to slip through us easily as possible. He also knows Uiose who are determined to do a high grade of work, and those are the ones that get the promo tion and the chances to take responsibility and earn high pay. o Some authorities are making the surprising and seemingly improbable statement that 50 per cent of the people are "morons," that is, persons who are on.y partially developed mentally. It seems far too sweeping to suggest that such a lariro nroimrtimi nf the population aremcntally deficient. It is true that most people are deficient in some way. Many persons of great mental ability in some directions, will show an amazing lack of sense in others. Many iwople who have little book knowledge will show a lot of com mon sense in daily life. There are a large number who never make any effort for mental improvement after they leave school All who have any influence over them should try to induce them to read good newspapers and magazines and attend informing lec tures. People who never make any effort for self improvement fare hard iu this life. It has been said that corporations have no souls and that they buy and sell people like so many commodities. Perhaps some of them still have that obsolete point of view. Others, however, have gone on to a more generous idea. A certain big motor company hands the following notice to all new emploves: "Greetings Wo want jour stay Willi us to be long, prosperous, and free from in jury. hether or not it will be so is partly up to you. Are you 1 careful? Are you ambitious? Work safWv , un., n I safely." The greeting then goes on to speak of certain preeaut ions against injury. Any business concern, big or little, that manifests such a friendly interest in the welfare of its emploves, should be able to arouse a spirit of loyalty that will be a valuable asset Ci, m L.'M "V L a KJUIIOUIIIV Udf lJ..1J Jlf-.J ' IlUlUft Meeting The North Side Slll'slilnn Club nu t rl the home ot Mrs. Uoren. on Com nierriul Avenue.

DOIGI.AS FAIRBANKS T THK JUJKSTIC TUKATilt Douglas Fairbanks will be ' Uie Majestic Theatre, in a new Art naft picture entitled "Moadin' South" tonight. It Is a thrilling tale of two border .Meiirao and Cana dian dealing with the capture of a nortorlous band of Mexicans who defy all law aud governmental warnings. The scenario Is by Chief Director Allan l)wan. preaeuting Fairbanks in a mysterious character who trail his man from Canada to Mexico and entually turn hlui over to the au thorities. There Is an undercurrent of fascinating mystery that runs through the tory with a strong ele ment of suspense that Is maintained to the very last scene of the picture. According to author Allan Dwan the public seem to prefer characteriza tions rather than being overburdened with plot, and In "Hcadln' South" Fairbanks appears in his most inter esting portrayal.

With out doubt he Is one of the greatest performers In the western movies. He Is a daring rider and no stunt Is too dangerous for him to attempt. In "Dead or Alive" he Is called upon to perform dangerous stunts, but he does them all so easily, that they do not look quite a dangerous as they really are. After trying several leading ladles, Jack Hoxle has secured Marin Sals to support him. It Is to be remem bered that Marin Sals played oppo site Jack Hoxlo in his last big serial. "Thunderbolt Jack." She is not alone good looking, but she is one of the cleverest horse women In California. These two make an admirable pair, and Inasmuch as the story written for them, it suits them to a "T."

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE ConrernlnK the Xeeels of Farmers. Oakland, Ore., Dec. 7, 1922. Editor of The News-Review: The needs of the farmer are be ing reviewed ' by President Harding and Secretary of the Treasury Mel lon, and ns a farmer who has worked the soil and slopped the hogs for fifty years, I beg leave to criticize our honored officials. They admit - that something Is wrong with the farmer and seem to he compMaly mystified as to Its cause and a remedy. The cause, nin4 Uie only cause, of the fanner's troi&Ie is that the gov ernment lias, given aid by money credit to the banks and railroads and hun denied the same credit to the farmer, and the farmer being thus deprived of such credit has fallen a victim to the banks and railroads, anil the only way that our nation can ever be again on a sale and sane financial condition is for the government to change Its credit policy and lend money to the farmer on the same terms as It has done to the other concerns. If it ran lend money to banks, railroads and ship sulisldy at two per cent. It can do likewise with the farmer. Improved fntms, wtaeut. corn, cot ton, wool and tobacco are as good perurlty ns hanks and railroads. The farmer should be financed to the full extent of his security. Then he could set the price on his prod uct according to the law of supply and demand. Now the standpatter will hold up his hands in holy hor ror at this proposition and say: "Whni will h.'come of the hankers, railroads und merchant?"
