HAIRCUTS, like shines, are among the few bargains in these days of postwar scarcities They cost one and slxience (about 30c), even at the swank places in the big hotels. : You get a haircut at a gentle men's halnlrcssing salon.

I HE barbers like American customers, who are so floored by the price that they come through with a tip approximating the cost of the haircut. Generally speaking, the price of commodities is high, fully as high as In the United States and often higher, but the cost of serv ices, such as shoe shining, har boring, pressing, etc., tends to be low. Native British are astonished by our addiction to clothes pres sing and cleaning.

AFTER a while you learn to ride the busses, which are I wo deckers and impressive in the extreme-and a highly efficient form of transport. The fare varies a little with the distance. You tell the con ductor (in these days apt to be a conductress) how far you're go ing and he tells you how much it will be and gives you a ticket to prove you've paid. The normal fare for a normal ride will be around two of these stove-lid pen nies, or littlfl less than a nickel. . You soon learn to appreciate the difference between that and two shillings for a cab. The way lo ride the bus is to tell somebody where you want to go and ask what number to take.

Stanton Response to the emergency appeal Sunday for bean pick ers to aid in taking up the lag in harvesting saved growers from considerable loss and at the same time added to the amount of canned food which will be made available to the public, J. Roland Parker, county agent reports. All over Oregon citizens have been responding to emergency calls sent out by farmers unable to find sufficient manpower for their harvest needs. Business houses in several cities have closed while proprietors and clerks went to the aid of farmers. Small schools throughout the state are delaying start of the school year, while larger schools, although starting on previously scheduled dates, will form platoons of harvest workers and adjust school programs to permit use of students in field and orchard work. This nation, best fed in the world, owes a great debt to its boys and girls. Without the ready response of our teen agers we would have had a our hands. But with the same gathered waste paper and tin cans, sold war bonds and stamps and executed every task in which they could be of service, uur patriotic youngsters have saved our agricul tural industry from tremendous loos and have assured a far more abundant supply of food than could possibly have been achieved without their aid. Our local bean crop, as an example, is being harvested very largely by boys and girls ranging from 10 to 17 years. It is the same age group that is bringing in the pears. They will pick our enormous crop of prunes. More than 300 teen-agers are employed through the farm labor office, while more than that number are-independently employed. Their labor is expected to harvest a crop of approximately 400 tons of beans from Douglas county fields. Our pear growers, despite the fact that their labor troubles have been fairly well solved, are in a desperate plight and face heavy financial losses. They have had a bumper crop and will probably complete harvesting Bartletts this week. But the canneries are taking only a very limited amount and there is little cold storage space in which to keep the fruit while awaiting further cannery orders. Canners are not anxious to take pears for several reasons. One is that the ruling on the amount of suKar permitted about 20 per cent of normal results in an inferior product, to which the average canner, who takes pride in a quality product, does not desire to attach his name. Another reason is that the profit margin is extremely low. He also is faced with labor problems and lack of storage space. Warehouses are full.of government-owned food stocks, set aside for mili tary and lend-lease purposes, and insufficient storage facili ties remain for fresh fruits. Douglas county will harvest approximately 2,500 tons of l,oU0 tons may be lost unless tained. Prune harvest will start about the middle of Seninmher. A few orchards in the southern part of the county may begin picking earlier, but present indications point to n eeneral start of the harvest program from September 15 to 20. The county has . one of the largest crops in recent years. oi.e ana quality are both excellent. Given good weather for the harvest season, the cron although the growers profit high due to labor costs. Growers can be of much assistance in xi.lvino- th. i,u,t labor problem by giving better cooperation to the farm labor office, the county agent says. Too few growers have reported their prospective labor needs. The farm labor of fice, Parker states, should be of the needs of each prune grower. The needs should be broken down into classifications driermen, shakers, pick ers, etc. When it is known how many workers are needed in oiich orchard and drier, the farm labor office can then work more efficiently in recruiting worker transportation and handling saiy io provide adequate orchard help. transportation system.

Aug. 29- API Congressmen wound up their first formal inquiry into Brig. Gen. Elliott Roosevelt's business affairs without getting to Roosevelt's own account. And it was not clear yesterday when Ihey would. Members of the House Ways and Means committee said a depo sition from lbe late President Roosevelt's son was on file but that yesterday's session was de voted entirely to a study of two other statements. These were from John Hart ford, president of the Great At-1 mime Pacific Tea Co., and Jesse Jones, former Secretary of Commerce. Several committeemen, while asking that their names not be used, quoted Hartford's deposi tion as saying that: The late president was consult ed by the grocery chain head lx fure the latter loaned young Roosevelt SU0.()O0. Jones later settled his loan tor $4,000. While approving of the loan in a telephone conversation with Hartford, Mr. Roosevelt assumed no financial or moral obligation in connection with It. Hai l ford made the ti per cent loan in connection with young Roosevelt's radio chain develop ments on a strictly business basis, expecting no favors Irom the president in return. Jones' statement, according to the rommitleemrn. said he made the settlement with Harlfoid out of his personal funds after Mr. Roosevelt asked him to straighten oiit riiiou'n fi'.uncJal tfijirs. Joiie, was quoted us saying that I OUT OUR WAY DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS For hundreds, possibly thous ands of years Solomon has been called "the wisest man that ever lived." If knowledge is power, then knowing how to use knowledge is even greater than knowledge itself. Arch imedes claimed that with a lever and a fulcrum he could move the world. Jesus Christ with a cross on a skull-shaped hill did move it. Watt discov ered and applied the expulsive powers of steam and set hun dreds of wheels humming. Christ discovered and applied the expulsive power of a new affection, and set millions pf human hearts singing. Edison took Inert material, charged it with energy and dispelled dark ness with radiant light. Christ takes inert lives, charges them with His love and makes them shine above the brightness of the firmament. Solomon died about three thousands years ago and is now but a name. Christ greater than Solomon, is still here, though He died on a cross nearly two thousand years ago. - "I know not where the way may lead. Of if the skies be blue or dim; My hungry soul I know He'll feed. And guide my weary soul to Him." Amen the $4,000 and $500 in connec tion with another settlement had not been repaid but that ho was confident' he would be reim bursed. Some committeemen expressed the opinion that the Internal Revenue bureau will allow Hart ford the $196,000 bad debt deduc tion claimed in his 1942 Income tax return as a result of the $4,000 settlement of the 1939 loan.
