J. 2D ,6 7.80 Naw Land Fraud Racket SLICK tongued, last talking, land salesmen are reported to be taking advantage of the great publicity given to the Grand Cou lee power and irrigation project. They have been operating in all parts of the country. Doubtless some people In this county have been contacted and offered land in the great Irrigation project. Some land, relatively valueless, and which never will be Irrigal- lc hnlnncitfl tit hlrh nrlf-es in .,1,v,mi0 fniu. .vhr. think " i they are getting In "on the ground floor." This statement Is vouched for by the Bureau of Re clamation. That bureau is be coming considerably disturbed over such activities and it has recently issued a press statement on the subject. The following i advice is offered: I When anyone is approached to purchase land within or near the Columbia Basin Project, lie should get In touch Immediately with the Bureau of Reclamation at Coulee Dam, Washington, to determine if the land Is actually within the project area, what Its government-appraised value is, anil when it will receive water. This Information will be given absolutely free. Emphasis was placed on the fact that some of the land may remain without water for 20 years or more, the plan being to bring under irrigation only small parcels of land each year. The racketeers often stale that no charges for water will be as sessed for the first six years. Thai's another falsehood, the bureau said; payments on con struction costs may possibly be deferred for a few years, but op. oration and maintenance pay ments must bo paid as they ac crue and no water will be given free. Kurthcrmore, some real cstalo agents are pretending to repre sent the government. Neither the Bureau of Reclamation nor any other agency of the federal governmenl has any land to sell, and no one Is imlliorlzed to rep resent them. "Write the Imictu before you buy" should be everyone's slo gan, says the Reclamation Bur eau. Tho Tranquil Conscience THERE is nothing like a trail qull conscience. Fourteen months ago, Benilo Mussolini spoke from the Palacio Venezia, declaring war on pros trate France and thundering, "We are going to war against the plutocratic and reactionary democracies of the West . , . our conscience is absolutely trail tpiii ... I solemnly declare that Italy does not intend to drag other peoples who are her neigh bors Into this conflict. Let Swit zerland, Yugoslavia, T u r k e y, Egypt and Greece take note of these words of mine. . . ." Well, 14 months have passed. Italy has attacked Greece and oc cupied it by grace of Adolf Hit lor. It has bombed Alexandria. Egypt. It has been presented with a phony "Kingdom" carv ed out of Yugoslavia by the (ier man conqueror and passed on to Italy In lieu of the lost African empire. And now word coir.es that Italian boys are being sent into the shambles in Russia to fight that eminent "plutocratic and reactionary democracy of the West." Arrlves Here Miss Claire Ti son, who has been studying sing ing In Portland, has arrived lo visit her parents. Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Tlson at Dlxonvllle. Editorials on News (Coittan froa Pl L) Italian patrols are scouting the Greek-Turkish border. Italian garrisons on the Greek islands near the Dardanelles have been strengthened. This (it true) indicates grow ing German suspicion of Tur key. Also of Bulgaria, which is much more Slav than German in Its sympathies. ltAN is stalling on the lititish a , . u f hn Russian demand that snc throw out the Germans. Her ORAL answer (apparently pre ceding the written one) is said to be unsatisfactory in London. THERE are growing demands in London (still passed by the British censor) for the opening up of a new front by the British somewhere on the continent while Hitler is busy with Stalin. Norway and Italy are suggested as the likeliest points. Maybe the British are in a po sition to open up a new front. This writer doubts it. It looks like a talc put out to worry Hitler. ANOTHER specimen from to- " a Hhii'g i-iimnr f-rimr Vichy says police In German- occupied Paris are reported to have arrested 6,000 persons. The arrested persons are described as Jews. The move, Vichy says, is apparently aimed at dealing with sources of PUBLIC UNREST. Don't think Hitler isn't wor ried by signs of public unrest In Ihc countries lie has conquered. yND here's one on the lighter The National Women's Under- 'Raiment association broadcasts this message men today: thin mfiuDQ i,n in Amm-lr.m. tii. "Cut skirt lengths SEVERAL INCHES. We'll cut your undergarments to fit -resulting In a saving of millions of yards of cloth." Reading this appeal, Helen Forrest Hall, fashion expert, snorts: "Humph! Skirt hems are already slapping at our knees! What next?" "THIS writer hopes American men aren't called on to wear SHORTS to business. The sight of the avefage male knee Isn't calculated to strengthen public morale.

Jesus somehow found the secret of interchanging great things with the small. With him. the making of the plow concerned the remaking of a world. What a standard for us today. To do our daily work as If this More already Christ's world, redeemed and worthy of the best, (iod has promised a larger trust to those who are (ailhful in the small things.

"Since then, morale has been affected," he declared in an inter view. "It depends in large meas ure on the morale of the people behind the army on their unity of purpose." Marshall was asked if the army's decision to release induc tees after they serve 18 months, despite the newly appointed 30- month time limit, was caused by public discussion of morale.
