One strike that never fails is striking cut for yourself. The trouble with some communities is Unit too many of thqir solid, conservative citizens are solid from the ears up- . ; t i The Pendleton East-OrcKonian indicates that there are lio similar objections to the Umatilla rapids project as made by Dr. Work to the Baker district and points out the power possibilities from the Columbia as one of the major con siderations in planninjr the rapids development. Oregon needs power development, indeed, and reclamation work tw well but we need it only when it can be secured in such it way as to be an economic benefit to the territory served nnd the people whose taxes make the project possible. The! "Umatilla project, engineers seem to think, is of that variety itnd should therefore be realized in the near future. i ; NOT A "DUMPING GROUND." i Australia has finally taken exceptions to the statements j'of Aqifiljjcan experts on iiiimiitifttjim that American immi gration restrictions will not work a hardship upon the ex cluded Europeans and Asiatics because they will be free to go to South America and Australia, which offer oppor tunities equal to those formerly offered the alien in the United States. The Australian delegation at the institute of Pacific re lations at Honolulu has announced frankly and with finality that their country will not be made a "dumping ground" or "melting pot" for the world's undesirables. Immigration restriction in the Pacific dominion ante dates that in the United States. While the country does not expressly exclude Orientals there are only seven Jap-j ancsc and few other Asiatics in the whole dominion. These! results have been obtained through highly elastic literacy! tests which permit the exclusion of undesirable literates as well as illiterates. The Australians feel as do the people of the United States that they are under no obligation, moral or other wise, to make their country a haven for the discontented lower classes of other less richly endowed countries. They offer no excuses for their restriction of immigration and believe no apologies in order. As in the United States, the future immigration of Australia will be governed by the country's labor needs and the limitations of its inhabitable laud area.

Secretary Jardine gave interesting figures recently that help explain the decrease in farm population that has taken ' place with an increase in farm crops and farm crop values during the last 75 years. In 1850, for example, the farm work done in 1924 would have required thirty million more workers than were actually used last year, or three times the number who actually engaged in the job of producing the nation's agricultural products. All of which has been made possible by modem machinery, better farming meth ods, and the use of power on the farm. I Here in the Grande Ronde and Wallowa valleys there arc fewer farmers engaged gainfully in agriculture than 15 years ago, but that fact is not an indictment of the' occupation nor an indication that it is on a permanent do- j clme. I he farms ana ranches of these valleys produce more and better crops today than they did 15 years ago, represent greater wealth nnd greater- resources in spite of the fact that fewer individuals are engaged in the work. The same condition holds throughout the nation except in a few isolated spots where intensified agriculture has de veloped in that period, and is not peculiar to this section. ; Iowa, known as the greatest agricultural state in the union, 'has , less farm population than a generation ago and yet ' m-nfliin sover:il times iis much r.mn wpnlt.h. It, is true that our farm lands can profitably occupy a greater population than they do now and an increase in farm population, with smaller acreage per man and higher productivity per acre, is inevitable in the future. How to bring that about, profitably in a short period of time is om of the problems of Oregon development. Love, courtship, marriage and divorce are the four acts to the little druma of life. ... , COM.tfCTI.NG THE MOSS. Experience Is a pedagogue So very, very nice.

(AT) The UritlBh nation is the worst fed nation in the world, nnd chemists have become the greutest Hlayers Of mankind. Mir William Milllgan, M. l.. declared in opening a food exhibition here. The HritlHh diet, on the average was in;mf ftelent. ill balanced and monotonous, he said, cooking left much to be desired and the quality of food supplies was open to grave suspicion. He til-1 trlbuted much of the dyspepsia, i gustro-lntestinal disease and intes tinal lethargy to the tendency of I people to live on preserved foods. "Our chemists.' he added, "have j become, because of this tendency, j in a sense almost the greatest slay-1 era of mankind. Responding doubt-j less to a popular demand, they have worked at the diseovery ofi tood preservatives und these h-ive j been so largely used t hat, along ; with the results of cold storage, I food became literally mumltied."
