Neith er have any new sources of food disposal. A New York congressman wants to Coster legislation to ban advertising from the radio: Host radio fans, how ever, would prefer that he turn his attention to static. Lincoln Ellsworth, who was with Amundsen in the at tempt to reach the north pole by flight, says he will try it again. Such is the spirit of the explorer and the ex tension of man's occupancy of the earth is its result. Russell Scott, Chicago murderer, who has thrice es caped hanging by n few minutes' margin, has been declared insane and will go to an asylum. Is it any wonder that minder becomes more common day after day when "i iii.nity" becomes so easy?

" CHANGING OPPORTUNITIKS. The closing of various land offices throughout the west, : fin experience that La Grande had recently, is the occasion tor comment in the World's Work on the eh nntrino u-nf and the gradual elimination of free lands that is hringimr -. to an end the activity of many generations moving ever ., westward toward "new county." The periodical savs, in " part, as follows: r "The truth is, another west is passing. The old Wild e.si went long ago, with its un fenced, free range and its - picturestitie cowboys (picturestiie in character as well as in costume, which still suirives). Hut now the west that . succeeded it is going too the west of the homesteader, more lately come into the romantics, of fiction, through ""the. works of Willit Gather. and others.. ' Free land has fol T'lowed the free range : hito the. limbo of far-off, forgotten things. . 1 '"'The west that is, is a land of fenced pastures and farms owned in fee simple subject to mortgage at 8 per - cent, motor cars, and golf courses. A little of the old lif.j .. is nursed along upon "dude ranches" and in the wild gamo sanctuaries .of the national parks. The homesteader is em Tbalmed in film and book. The present farmer is like his brethren in New Hampshire or Ohio." ' 't is true that another west is passing, but it is equally true that in its place we are forming a new west that of- fers vastly more in opportunities to coming generations. changed as those opportunities may be. There are still - some government tracks that might attract the home steader, and there are reclamation projects that will arouse the fire of ambition in the hearts of thousands of settlers in the next few years yet the real opportunities of th? . new west lie in the agricultural, business, and industrial development of a v;st territory just starting its re;.l period of growth. It is there that the youth of the future may look for life, for romance, and for accomplishment. Changed it is, indeed, from the days that the old-timers 'sigh over, but even the old-timer would not have it other ''.wise. It is just one more step in the realization of the dream of the pioneers of yesterday, a stop forward in tin making of a better and greater nation. ".My Imy Urn's got n MTltnit Job now.
