Social Life of La Grande
It is nstoninhinif how slow ninny people lire in getting acquaint
ed. Not merely do strangers find it hard to make friends, but old
time residents will not sp(eak to each other. People may meet each
other on the street for years and never give any sign of .recogni
tion. They know each other perfectly, and would like to get ac
quainted, but they have not been introduced.
These unbending people may be charming in their own circles
and full of kind thoughts toward others. Their attitude does not
necessarily mean that they are proud. Jt frequently come f rum
an exaggerated feeling of propriety or bashfulness, an idea that
they will be considered forth-putting if they disregard strict etti
o'uete. ' A town where this spirit exists has a cold pall of distance
stifling its people. They cannot form friendships they need for
their own welfare and the development of the community. People
get faise ideas of each other and look on each other as. haughty.
They draw back in their own little shells, nnd no neighborly spirit
is developed.
It is a good rule in La Grande when two men or two women
have met each other enough so they know each other by sight to
get 'acquainted. As isolated strangers they are an obstacle to the
unity of the city. When they get to know each other, and discus?
their common interests, they become good neighbors and a force
for community progress.
Good Year For Farmers
It is gratifying: to find the special board of economists called to
Washington by the department of agriculture to discuss the fain
outlook expressing the opinion that farmers are going to have a
good year; for if there is any class of citizens in need of ti pros
perous season it is the agricultuiists. They have received low
prices for their products at a time whrin other commodities were
high-piiccd. They had to take the brunt of the blow that Jell whev
the inflated bubble of war-timo prosperity was pricked.
Some figures have recently been compiled by the departmen'
of agriculture which have an inteiesting bearing on the situation
A survey which has been made of 10,000 farms and groups o'
ftirms has led to the estimate that the agricultural population of
tnHlc1tttfr4tefl(l-W ''ftfe Wf JpwJingjjcuutd by
migialion of faim workers to the cities. The consequence fs that
there will be a shortage in the supply of faim labor this year.
All this suggests that the great need of agriculture is stabiliza
tion. The pendulum swings from one extreme to another, and
the farmer does not know from one year to another where he is
going to land. Relief for the .farmers from this unsatisfactory
state of affairs is one of the worthiest things to which economist',
can address themselves. ' ' .

Not Going Crazy
That "nil the world in mad except thee and me and thou art
little touched" ia a view that from time to time has held with many
in passing jjenerdtions, Hut the record shows that the races have
held to their sanity ruling Communities and even nations may,
on occasion, have given way to i'addism, may have had flings in
the abnormal, may have had their little hours of madness, hut theii
average or sanity has at least held its own, and there is convinc
ing evidence that it has bettered itself.
: The Montreal scientist who fears that the world is hecominj:
insane entertains vain fear, unless he has information as to men
tal tendencies that are hidden from others. The outbreak of in
tensity in life and action that ho iulerpiets as pointing to such de
bade of the human mind may be a manifestation of feverish im
pulses, hut man has in the past shown tendencies equally disturb
ing and has come out all light, as he doubtless will this time.
