All ye who are weary-minded and believe we are having hot weather, smile; all who think the heat is intense, smile again, for the heat here is not oppressive, the breezes blow coolly, the country is in good shape from a crop .standpoint, the money is tight, but no tighter than elsewhere, so smile, smile, smile. If you believe the hills are greener a little way off get it out of your head. If you can't get it out of your head without taking n trip, just take one. Go south and see the cotton planters who arje broke; go east and see the factory people anxious to work but no money to operate on; go into the mid dle states and see the farmers all stretched out with their credit breaking; go south again and see the sugar planters tearing their hair, and cast your eye.s sideways and see the oil producers raving like wild maniacs with crude. down from $.1.70 to $1.00 a barrel and their costs still at top notch prices. ; And, after you have seen them all, heard their tales of woe, witnessed many being closed out by people whom they owe, then come back to Oregn and view this section of plenty, with sufficient for all, wi-th few people forced into bankruptcy, and Smile, smile, smile!

This was the song of the Tillamook crowd on the special Chicago train yesterday through La Grande carrying the ones who will preach the gospel of the west to the middle and eastern states folk. It seemed good to see a return of the' Tom Richardson pep and push ; it seemed good to see a bunch of men who believe with all their hearts in their own state and counties, for that is real life. When a person gets to the don't care stage, when he gets to a point where he is willing to drift and his blood will not tingle in support of home state, then that person is neither fit for a place among men nor is he a candidate for good citizenship. Tillamook bets on the old cow with the crumply horn; she bets on the milk and cheese and Tillamook has a pay check every month sometimes it is not so big but it is a check and meets expenses. It is a good dairy country but no better than many sections of Eastern Oregon. When we get to the viewpoint the Ti'llamookers have taken we will see a greater Eastern Oregon.

Now a llrltish and a Kussinn ship have been added to the list and the utiaccountuhlo disappearance of an American collier from the sumo ocean lane during the war is being reculled. There are whispers that vessels and crews have leen seir.cd by ngents of the Russian Soviet government and the cargo commandeered. There are tales of sea pirates operating tts in the days of old from the lonely islands and marshes along the Atlantic coast. Awakening to the fuct that the luss of these ships is uncanny and auspicious, Uncle .Sum has set five different de partments of the government to in cases will be rigid, llut the whole field will be looked over, including ex cise tuxes on manufacturers' sales, transportation tuxes, the luxury tax and tuxes on toilet goods, proprie tory medicines and soft dYinks.
