Drys Continue To Gain Slightly
In National Prohibition Poll
"PorUaiKl Population of 360,596 Shown by Dalai.".. So
reads a headline in The Oreffonian. A lot of other places
can say the -same thing, an proportion, but the government
made the mistake of employing Mr. Census instead of Mr.
.Data to do the counting;.
An air line for passengers, express, etc., will be inaugxir-,
ated over, the route of "the Old Oregon Trail in. the near
future with important stops established in proportion to the
business different communities provide. La Grande, being
the center of Eastern Oregon population and the largest
community in the area, is the logical stopping point for an
air line. Although an adequate port is not available for
'commercial purposes, it will come. This community cannot
afford to overlook any chance to tie up with air transporta
tion. ; ' ; .
;;. . THE CONTRAST
All that is known in theYeUoAV WorkUs that there ncveg
is enough food for the people and thai amine and pestilence
follow war. The Orient has seen this happen many times
and will see it happen again. , llis a part of the immemorial
tragedy of the East.
The American cannot understand why there should be
famine any place in this world, lie sees plenty on all sides
and is told that the United States must guaitl against a
suiplus yather than against a shortage. . The farmer's
problem is chiefly one of restricting production to the de
mand, and every industrial depression since the World war
has resulted from overproduction and expansion.
The average worker in the United States produces far
more than he consumes. In China, the average producer is
barely able to supply his own' needs when the harvest is
good, and when the season is poor food must be imported or
millions die of starvations.
America is the land of plenty, where famine is unknown,
because of rapid transit, scientific farming, development of
.the machine, mass production, and the energy and enterprise
of- its people. This is not a hand-to-mouth nation. It is
satisfied with nothing short of the maximum of production
possible.
Even oveiTHipulaled China could abolish famine if she had
an adequate transportation system, farm machinery, fac
tories and warehouses fur the preserving of food for the
unproductive months' and an intelligent farming class.

,4VhoniHie" has boon officially recognized. Tit is, it is
to 0 into the. next edition of a respectable nd conservative
dictionary, alonp; with a number of other words contemporary
and intimately associated with the jazz ape.
Purists cannot deny that "whoopee," "jazz" and their kin
words are now in pood usage, but acceptance by the lexico
graphers is no guarantee of permanence. The dictionary is
1kUi the home of live words and the graveyard of dead ones.
A generation or so hence these words may be as archaic as
many of Shakespeare's neologisms.
Whoopee is entitled to a line in the lexicons, and yet its
clftim scqms no stronger than that of "doo-dad", which
was challenged when used by an llonoi-nble in a congres
sional delwte and could be found in no dictionary, except
an obscure work dealing with the southern vernacular.
Anyone knows that a doo-dad is a thingumabob, a thing
umajig, a gimcrack, a gew-gaw or a whatchmacallit. Why
the dictionaries ignore such a useful word and give valuable
ppace to some of these unheard-of 12 letter words passeth
human understanding. For the odd little thing without a
name or use, doo-dad seems to drop into the slot of ready
fipeech with a very particular fit.
It is conceivable that should prohibition ever become a
fact that posterity will speak of the things with which this
generation makes whoopee as doo-dads. Thus are words
bom and buried.

You can't suppress a certain esteem for
the owners of well-painted homes. It's a
passport to neighborly regard the token
of a man of substance. Let him be a prop
erty owner of experience, and you'll find
he selects his paint with care. McMurtry
MIXED PAINT is chosen by men of this
character because its merit has been prorcd.
It is recommended by Architects and Good
Painters all over the West. It has justly
won its reputation as "the paint of longer
life." Ask your McMurtry dealer for color
cards and information.
