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

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.

He Is a daring rider and no stunt

In "Dead or Alive" he Is called upon

After trying several leading ladles,
Jack Hoxle has secured Marin Sals

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

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?" I will ex
plain: They will be more prosperous
than under the present regime.

Edltot- of The Nows-Keview:
In Thursday's issue of your splen

calls for Information of some scrip

me, I will gladly notice his ques
tions and give him the scriptural
proof of my position on the ques
tion of "divine healing." As I am
a very poor scribe. I much prefer
to meet Dr. Price and let all tho
people hear my scriptural proof. I

because I am working long hours,
leaving home nt 7 a. m. and re

will Inform Mr. Jenkins that the
printer made me say "past apostolic
age" when I said "post apostolic"
nge 1. e. the age or generation Im
mediately following the apostles. It
will require two cr three lengthy
articles for me to put this subject
clearly before the public and answer
Mr. Jenkins' questions.
No doubt Mr. Jenkins Is sincere
in this matter, as many others
doubtless are also, and for this rea
son I much prefer to deliver the
lectures from the rostrum If an ade
quate auditorium can he obtained

with all the assurance nf my nhlllty
