You're hop ing fervently that everything will bo all right, but you can't escape that uneasy, sinking feel ing In the pit of your stomach. ' Maybe everything WON'T be all right. "What then? The sensations arc similar when you get the verdict. If everything Is rosy, you go away stepping high, with a burden lifted from your soul. If the news Is bad" ' But why, go Into lhat? There's tragedy "enough in this' war world, without adding to It need lessly, 1 : "' 1 IT may bo that you're among the luoky ones. You have a room! Your" baggage Is parked In It. You're in POSSESSION and you'd like to see the color of the hair of the man whb could take It away from you. You stow your duffle, lock the door and test It carefully to see lhat It IS locked, so that nobody can sneak in while you're away and Jump your claim and stroll down to the lobby to sec how the battle goes. " You find you've been more for tunate than the average. You see other poor devils, 'their shoulders slumping under adversity and the light of desperation In their eyes, getting the doleful shake of the head from the room clerk and marching out into the night and the storm. Do your eyes dim with pity? Does your heart ache for these poor unfortunates with their blasted hopes? THE answer, alas, is "NO! PEKIOD." Instead of the sympathetic heart tug and the feeling of hu mility that became one In the presence of another human be ing upon whom Hie hard hand of fate has been laid heavily, the sensation you are most acutely aware of is one of SMUGNESS. You practically wriggle with hap piness because It is you and not he that got the break. Human nature has a long way yet lo go before the goal of per fection Is reached. THE plain and simple and un adorned truth Is thai the hotels In every city that has even a moderate measure of war ac tivity are SWAMI'F.D with busi ness. They have to sH'nd more time turning customers away than they have left to spend on those they can accommodate. Yet one must say for the hotel people as a whole that they are taking tills unhealthy state of af fairs in stride and are not losing their sense of balance. Courtesy is much more the rule than the exception. Service, while stripped of its fluffy nonessentials, re mains surprisingly good. It Is generally given with a smile. One has the heartening feeling that the hotel industry will come out of this period of too much business and too little help and raw materials without losing Its most priceless asset, which is the spirit of hospitality and the de sire to serve the traveling public well. - Btepivaesi PROFITEERING FARMERS By Charles UE hear a great deal from " the enormous profits being made by the farmer. We read of activities of the so-called "farm bloc," which Con gressman Harris Ellsworth recently referred to as a myth a non-existent bloc to which propagandists can point with cries of "special privilege'' and "fascism," as they try to cover up the mismanagement and political finagling of domestic administration. If we weren't so well acquainted with farmers and know them to be hard-working, patriotic men and women, who are striving earnestly, in face of almost overpowering handi caps, to carry their heavy responsibility in the war effort, we might be led to believe they were a disreputable class of war profiteers, deliberately out to upset the balance of our national economy for the purpose of lining their own pocketbooks. But we have yet to find a farmer who is getting rich from the war. Fred A. Goff, chairman of the Douglas County Pomona Grange agricultural committee, recently pointed out some very pertinent facts in his annual report. Among other things Chairman Goff said : All those engaged in agriculture .have been working overtime and the production record in this county shows definite results. Agriculture can definitely take its place with the industries in our nation when it comes to actual results of production. "On account of many obstacles to overcome scarcity of labor, costs of materials, and the net return to the producer lother years, even though prices received in many cases are much higher. As a result of this, the false impression is given to the public when the reports are given out through the press, that the agricultural income is so many billion dol lars greater than that of other years and that the farmers t'.re coining money greater than ever before. "As agriculture is not organized on a basis whereby it can give statistics showing cost of production to offset gross receipts, we are placed in an unfair situation when it comes to such references. "Many dairymen and poultrymen have hud to go out of business entirely or cut down their production to the mini mum so that they could handle their business themselves and not jarry on on a losing basis. The farmer is asked to accept subsidies so that he will keep on producing, even though at a loss. We can not see how this will lower the cost of living, for, after all, who will pay the subsidies? The answer is the same ones who are doing the producing. Thus, they are merely saddled with more expense which will be taken eventually from their income and with greater debt that must be met by someone in the production indus try sooner or later." Fred Goff's report contains meat for some very serious thought. ) Records covering population shifts in Oregon during the period of the emergency show a very large drop in the rural areas and marked gains in the cities, particu larly the industrial centers. Farmers are not going to leave their farms if they'are making the profits our politi cal propagandists, who are trying to foist subsidies on the American public, would have us believe. The next time you read of some political brass-hat lambasting the farmer and the "farm bloc," go out and visit one of your farmer friends and ask m how much of the "enormous farm profit" he has been able to garner.

DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS There are two forces at work In the world, one that drags down and one that lifts up. The evil and sins of the world have a mighty . downpull on our moral and spiritual na tures. In fact, the power, of evil to degrade and destroy the soul of man is such that man would utterly perish were it not for the lifting power of God through Christ and His cross.- How we feel the dead weight of sin today. But the positive forces of the world are stronger than the negative. Christ had this in mind when He said: "I will draw all men unto me. The upward pull of Christ is stronger than the downward pull of sin. Christ was uplifted on the Cross to die for the sins of the world, even mine and yours. He has, since then, been lifted up, in the Christian lives of mil lions of His followers. He wants us to lift Him up today in our homes, our community, our daily lives, In love .and brotherhood around the earth. As steel yields to the magnet, may we yield our lives to the magnet of the Christ who is drawing us His way for He is "the way, the truth, and the life."- Amen. 1:30 Sentimental Music. 2:00 Ray Dady. 2:15 Welcome Inn, G.

He draws his cartoons up side down, owns five automobiles and can't d-ive a car. that's not so unusual in these days; we know lots of people who have trouble driving one with gas and rubber being what they are.
