Create in me a clean heart, 0 God; and renew a right spirit
within me. Psalm 51:10.
INCREASE IN SUDDEN DEATHS
Statistics show that there has been a ten per cent increase
in deaths from heart disease in the last ten years, much to
the concern of the public, the medical profession and trie
life insurance companies. ;
Medical experts attribute somewhat of this situation to
the strenuous pace maintained by the modern world in both
work and play. There seems to be a great lack of relaxation
among the men and women of this generation. The heavy
competition of modern business life is credited with affect
ing the heart action. When this activity is augmented .by
the strenuous pace maintained by the middle-aged after
business hours, a serious strain is often placed on the heart.
Overeating, overworking, insufficient rest, worry, loss $f
flleep and modern high-speed living are bad habits which have
a serious effect on the heart, and no doubt hasten the death
of many men and women in the very prime of life and at the
heiglit of their usefulness and of their enjoyment of life.
However, there is much comfort in the fact that a con
siderable increase in deaths from heart troubles is due not
to unwise modes of living but to the rapidly lengthening
span of life. People are living longer, and heart diseases are
maladies of middle and old afire.. Out of improving condition
there must come a heart which will pump for a longer period
than has been asked of hearts in the past.
of their means of payment. Thus
with the exhausted liquid assets and
credit, they caused the gradual In
crease of unemployment In the cities,
which merely reached tho breaking
point In 1020.
Money Is the llfeblood of commerce,
and credit can replenish It when
scarce, but when both are exhausted
as they are now, not only among the
great masses In this country, but all
over the world, with nearly all the
nations In .the same critical condi
tion, there Is, practically, only one
country that Is nationally strong ;
our own United States. Therefor, In
the face of this condition It will take
something much greater and far
reaching than anything yet attempted
to solve the problem. It Is pure drivel
for people to talk about cycles, as If
they were caused by the moon, like
tides. There are always ample and
concrete reosons for our ups and
downs, and we rather think that a
great many of the world's financial
manipulators ore more or less aware
of It, although moBt of them seem
blind as bats. .
As conditions are. If fairly under
stood, It should be obvious that some
thing more constructive Is called for
than has ever beiore been necessary.
The masses of the world have been
thoroughly exploited and despoiled,
and the time has arrived in the his- j
tory of the world when exploitation j
must end and a constructive and re
ciprocal regime must be adopted, I
founded on the unfailing principal
of live and let live. The history of
the human race has been "dog eat
dog," and the rule Is as unsatisfac
tory and unworkable today as It htfs
always been. I
You have to feed the goose to make
her lay the golden egg, and this
means that you cannot strip all your
customers of their buying power and j
still have a market for your merchan-
dlse. Trite but painfully true, al
though, to continue the simile, our
administration seems to prefer squeez
ing the goose to tossing It a be
grudged morsel of food.
The crux of the problem is now to
creato a sufficient buying power
among the people the world over, and
when you answer that question, you
will be able to envision a new world.
Capitalism can only endure if man
aged wisely, or It will go down Just
as certainly as the sun sets, but not
to rise again. If the bonkers and
other capitalists of the world cannot
sco now that they must be broad
minded and less selfish, they are
doomed to a rather early extermina
tion. They cling to the single stand
ard of gold as the only baste money,
when only two countries in the en-
tiro world have enough of that metal

FOR COOKERS
Arrangements have been completed
i by the Natural Gas corporation of
; Oregon for a two-day cooking school
! to bo held at the L. D. 8. Recreation
' hall on Monday and Tuesday evening
April 13 and 14.
The evening hours from 7:30 to
' & :30 have been selected for this
school. In order that as many house
wives as possible would be able to at
tend, and also so those business wom
en Interested In gas cookery might
have an opportunity to bo present.
Tho demonstration will be In
charge of Miss Wllla Campbell, home
economlt of the Tappan Range com
pany, assisted by Miss Eluer Martin,
home economist for the Natural Oas
corporation of Oregon.
Miss Campbell Is a graduate of Co
lumbia university and has had several
years practical experience In a home
economics bureau In New York City.
In commenting on this activity of
his company, B. D. Scott, local rep
resentative, stated : "We are most
anxious that everyone be able to
take full advantage of gas service
now that it Is available In La Grande.
"There Is no charge for attending
tho cooking school next Monday and
Tuesday evening and we are hoping
that a large number will plan to be
on hand for both evenings of the
school. There will be special features
arranged for each demonstration, with
recipo sheets for all comers, and
other features In the way of prizes."
"DIGS" FOUNDATION'
So, as he went all over South Da
kota digging wells, he laid the foun
dations for a popularity that was to
help him greatly later. And little by
little he forgot his parent's warning.
His first public office was a seat
in the state senate. After three terms
there he was elected lieutenant-governor.
Then came two terms as gov
ernor and finally the United States
senate.
They say In South Dakota that he
has a following perhaps unequalled
in the political history of the state.
And he has built it up through many
rigorous contests.

THE RIGHT TO CRITICIZE
;. In past years an old taunt addressed to political critics
was in the form of an invitation to leave the country. You
don't like the way things are run here. Then, why don't
you leave? If this country is not good enough for you why
don't you look around for one more to your taste? Happily,
that sort of thing has gone but of fashion. Today the public
welcomes criticism from the individual because it betrays a
healthful interest in civic matters without which, if one votes
at all, one votes not wisely. .
In other fields the rights of disinterested criticism have
been fairly well established. A reviewer may take issue with
the contents of a book without being charged with thinking
himself capable of writing a better one. Art critics can
criticize paintings without knowing how to paint. But re
sentment against the faultfinder still continues, because there
is a wide difference between helpful criticism and just plain
"faultfinding."
One of the reasons the United States has a government
"of the people, by the people and for the people" is because
the people have always been free to criticize it, to find and
remedy its faults and to tell those in public office when their
services were unsati factory.
There is something good in everything, it is said, and it
has been found that lightning is no exception to the rule.
It is claimed that each year lightning is responsible for the
fixation of 100 million tons of nitrogen, and this benefits the
soil and the fanner.

Why Branded
Lines
AS we walked down the
street in a strange city, one
after another unknown person
passed us by. The people looked
all right they may have been
all right but we didn't know.
We were almost afraid of them,
for they were nameless stran
gers as far aa we . -we're' con
cerned. ,
Then we passed and recog
nized a friend. We sang out
his name "Hello Bill." We knew
him. and because we knew him
we knew his worth.
Thus it Is when you buy
goods. Unbranded goods may
be good enough, It may not. We
never know. We have' no way
of knowing. But when we
recognize a name a . name
which has built our confidence
through Its perforance In the
past we plunge to it as to a
friend.
