get your first bill, for it will be
pretty certain; to include an item
of 10 per cent for "gratuities."

Jf, hurrying up the street, you
look down and notice that your
shoes are a sight you'll be in a
bad way, for the fundamental
American institution of shine
stands just "ain't." EXCEPT of
late, in places where GIs con
grcgate in large numbers. Here
a few British enterprisers are
setting up shine stands and reap
ing a harvest.
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. Once in
a long walk you will see a plain
barber shop, labeled as such,

Scotch whiskey.
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. They say too
much cleaning is bad for cloth

our lnslence on knife-edge creases
in trousers.

Britain's climate Is normally

wholly on cabs. As a general
average, lumping long rides and
short ones and assuming that

scattered TOO far apart, it sets
'you back about two schillings
every time you ride in one. As
a matter of good form, you're
supposed to leave a sixpence
"with the cabman as an honor

cents, and they have a coin
known as a half crown that is
worth two shillings and six
pence. It must have been coined
for cab-riding purposes.
AFTER a while you learn to ride

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

HARVEST
By Charles V. 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.

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

Elliott Roosevelt
Loan Probed By
House Committee
WASHING TO N. 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.

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.
