be bfecause lowbrows have never learned how naughty they

' Nothing that has been tried so far will do as much
towiftd solving the agricultural problem in Eastern Oregon
as aj good crop and reasonably good prices.
Even in this modern age of knowledge there are some
things that a young girl shouldn't know. And among these
are gome young things that ask her to go flivvering.

When you see the amount of taxes that go to pay
interest and principal of the war debt, you come to the
conclusion that Sherman must have been speaking of pay
ing for a war.
!" ONE CURSE OK THE MOTOR A(iE.'
feven dirty, poorly-clad children, an over-worked mother,
, a jobless father, a broken-down antiquated car with four
flat; tres, no money to buy the bare necessities of life, the
: demands of poverty so great that it has taken Hie family
foui Rveeks to make the trip from Portland here such is
the jjiitiful condition of a family found in one of La Grande's
touitst camps two nights ago. And such is "touring" to
, sorr)jj ; classes of people the tramps and gypsies of the
i hignvay. t
The family is needy. One glance at their clothes, on,'
' one "view of a "meal" is enough to convince you of that.
Uowj Reserving they may be could lc established only by
investigation, but seven children must eat. How long they
will-!bo here, where they are bound, when they will arrive
oiily time can determine the end and result of such a
pilgiiiniagc. This is but one instance of many that can be
foull throughout the "touring" season in camps tlirough
outjhe country.
However, deeply concerned we may be with such pilifui
caseh we should be more concerned with the faults of mod
el nl'Jite that pcimit such conditions. No matter how
city-stricken a family might be in an established place of
residnice without means of transportation, nothing quite
as bad as this tourist camp picture could be imagined. It
Illicit be necessary for lliem to beg, but there would k
no temptation to spend or trade what they received for

inequation to earn the price of a tankl'ul of gas and mm-.!

WALLOWA, Ore. (Special) A
considerable uiuount of rain fell
over portions of this county Wed
nesday morning. The rains up
peared to Im; the hardest along the
valley bet w een hern and I .oh! inc.
This is the flrnt ruin of any con
HiMiuence which has fallen in about
thrco weeks, and lias been of much
valuo to growing crops, csperkilly
the, spring Mown grain. Much or
the spring sowings have been
showing signs of burning for the
past two weeks, and many fields
on I igh t sol I liu ve been grea 1 1 y
damaged. On the grain which has
not burned too badly the rain will
do much towurd bringing it out
ugain, however, the yield of spring
wheat in this county cannot be
brought up to where it will reach
estimutes of thirty days ago, Prac
tically all of the fait wheat lias
matured at this time, and did not
suffer any large damage from the
burning hot weather, except in
spots on til in land. Many Tarta
rs in the hill sect ions have had
their binders busy the past week
cutting the ripe wheat. Hipening
has been very rapid this year, dur
ing the past two weeks the fields
have taken on a golden color.
Some farmers are experiencing
considerable difficulty in saving
the grain w here It lias ripened
faster than they were able to cut
It. The dry. weather of last week,
when there was practically no dew
at nights made much of the ripe
grain shell badly.
Kd Hell Hint Hon Leslie have been
busy binding their wheat on the (.
A. Hunter hill ranch, (lie past
week. They have over three hun
dred acres to cut this season.
Harvest Time .Nears,
With the grain ripening up
earlier this season than in pre
vious years, many of the farmers
who do their harvesting with com
bine!, state they expect to be able
to Htart cutting by the first of the.
month at least. It Is probable that
some of the bound grain will do for
threshing soon after the first of
the month, us many of the dry land
rarmers will be through cutting by
that time. j
Haying in the valley was delayed
several days the first or the week
by the heavy showers of rain which
fell here. Work of putting up the
first crops of hay Ih getting well
along, with a number of farmers
having finished the uWter part of
last week. Farmers have been
more successful In picking up nec
essary help during the past few
days, with Homo of thu haying
crews finishing. j

The danger of fire In the timber

made somewhat less by the rains
which fell here recently, a consid

county during the past two weeks,
the greuter part of them being
caused by lightning, but were put
out before gaining much headway.
Tlie vegetation Is yet green In
much of the forest land, and with
frequent showers will not become
