Proverbs 3:17. , A BASKETBALL SPECTACLE Those who thrill at the fast action of a good basketball game are looking forward to the corning weekend which of fers them the climactic spectacle of 'the basketball season. ' ; At Union on Thursday, Friday and Saturday eight teams from' Union, Wallowa, Baker, and ; Malheur counties will engage in a tournament; and the reward offered the winning quintet will be the district' championship plus a trip to Salem to represent this section in the state championship play-off. : , The Union business and school men who are sponsoring the tournament are confident that this will be one of the most successful ever stnged in this end of the state, especially in view of the fact that the eight teams will go into play much 'more evenly- matched -ttiun in .ordinary seasons. And this belief is generally shared by others throughout the dis trict.' i.'.r:. It is certain that scores of La Grandcrs will attend the tournament, primarily to cheer the Tigers, of course, but alsd td witness the high class of basketball which is sure to be 'displayed there, whether the local team figures promin ently or not. " ' .f We're rather proud of this tournament almost as proud., in fact, as is Union, t)ur neighboring town which has so successfully, conducted the basketball play-offs in this dis trict ever since the present scheme of deciding the' cham pionship was inaugurated. ' , . ':. For that reason, and because Coach Ira Woodie has organ ized and perfected a team that is deserving of our finest support,' we urge every La Grande citizen to -attend one or more games during the three days of the tourney. ' V - VANISHING EMPIRES ' While making an excavation for a new office building in the heart of London, British workmen the other day came Upon some relics of the very distant; past relics of the day when London was an outpost of the Roman Empire, a pro vincial garrison on a distant island. ' These workmen found a number of interesting things, in cluding old Roman lamps, tools, bits of broken pottery, and even old pilings that marked the site of London's first river wharves. Their finds, archeologists say, date back to the first century of the Christian era..., , Of course the London subsoil is, full of such things, and thero is nothing startling about this newest discovery, but it is something to stir the imagination at least. It makes ancient history seem more real, tujj perhaps gives us an eerio glance into the future. , 'hi When those relics were first deposited there, Rome was what London is today the capital of a far-flung empire, filled with busy traders, sailors, shippers, administrators, Jind ."empire builders." We can easily visualize those young Romans sailing out to assume administrative posts in the British' Isles, just as young Englishmen, not so long ago, sailed away to similar jobs in India. Those men must have felt that they were going to the very ends of the earth, and the 'placid river Thames a3 Conrad points out in his "Heart of Darkness" must have seemed as mysterious and as vaguely, hostile as. the coasts of Africa seemed to the roving young Englishmen of the past century. It is easier to make Roman civilization seem real by draw ing the parallel. The imperialism of the Caesars was, after all, very much like that of Queen Victoria's day. There were far-off colonies to be developed, and what is now England was then a wild and barbaric land that needed to be cultivated and civilized. ' And all of this makes us look ahead. Rome's envpirc has vanished, centuries ago, and her colonies have grown to ripe maturity. Will the empires of today sometime follow suit? Will English relics dug up in Delhi or American relics un earthed in Manila rouse coi-cspoiidiiig images in the minds of men a thousand years hence? We wonder if the fellow who, along about last July, was wishing for a little cold weather is satisfied by now or is he wishing for July to come? ' Most of our criminals have "foreign names" but, alas, so have most our record breaking athletes, " pleusantness, and all her paths ;' Other Papers BUYING GERMAN (IOOOS r A trade'bbycott la a powerful wcap- on: when rigidly observed. The diffi culty lies In enforcing It. For bo iong as men are moved by considera tions of gain, they are going to buy uuuua in me lowest market and sell them In the highest. If they can: Sen timent cuts a sorry figure In busi ness, when It runs at cross purposes -wjwi proiiis. - uunng xne worm war, we wore assuring ourselves In the fervor of our patriotism that never again would wo buy German-made goods. But as soon as the war was over. American 'capitalists subscribed blg loans for mo uermans. This money was ex pended In rehabilitating Germany'i Industrial system and In preparing It to dump cheap goods on the mar kets of the world. These capitalists are learning that the Germans bor rowed the money for the express purpose of making the United States finance their Industrial comeback, first by using American capital and second, by displacing American goodB In the world markets. But the In ternational bankers, who floated the loans, are not worrying, because they exacted good, fat commissions for their services, and passed the bonds on to a trusting, but now disillu sioned public. ' Today German made goods are coming Into the United States In' a tremendous volume. Germany, to day, has attained rank as being sec ond to this country only In the vol ume of Its world trade. And Ameri cans, forgetful of their war-time vows, are tumbling over themselves to buy the German-made goods, be cause they can buy them at a . lower cost than American-made goods and they think they are saving money. To Illustrate: German-made barbed wlro Is being sold in Albany. Dealers cannot sell tho American wire, be cause they can sell the German pro duct for about a dollar a spool less and still make an extra 10 cents profit over tho Arrierlcan brand. The farmer thinks he saves his dollar and tho dealer makes his profit. t But does the farmer save his dol lar after all? Hero 1b a question that Is deserving of study. For the farmer is Interested In selling his produce, in fact he must sell it, If ho 'Is' going to be able to buy wire. And, Willie ho Is buying the German wire, he Is doing nothing to relieve tho unemployment situation in the United States. The American wire mills are not getting the business and consequently ' cannot employ labor; and workmen who arc out of Jobs' are not ontlng bread or meat. Thus the prices of farmers' produce remain at a low figure. It Is not always good business to buy tho cheapest products, although this doctrine would stand as much chance of acceptance If preached to trees' as to human beings. This Is true when the buyer Is a soller. too, and ho needs to sell his produce. In cases whero tho buyer sells more goods than ho buys, .as -tiiq farmer does! his flrsC caro shoiltd be to pro tect the buying' power of his cus tomers. Ho cun afford to pay a pre mium on his purchases,' If he can get A premium for the goods he sells, for tho ' balanco of trade Is In his favor. The farmer who does not sell In greater volume than he buys will not be a farmer for long. American business men and farm ers, too, could do a lot toward re storing American prosperity, It tlioy would glvo precedence to American made goods. There is no better woy for bringing back' good prices and brisk demand. But they will not do It, because they cannot resist the temptation to buy at tho lowest llg uro possible. Moanwhlle wo will go on patroniz ing the German manufacturers, keep on wondering why business docs not pick up fastor and blnmlng tho ad ministration and congress for not helping ub. But we can holp our selves If wo will. But we won't. Democrat-Herald. A UOOD HOAltD The 1932 En stern Oregon Livestock Show will have tho advantage, (it the very outset, of a prudent, conserva tive, businesslike board of directors. Never beforo in the history of the show has there been such an Imper ative demand for theso qualities In tho management. Excessive liberal ity 'In tho treatment accorded exhib itors has' characterized the show in years past most of them years in which such policy was possible with out crippling the organization's fin ances. This year tho show faces an entirely different set of conditions. It may be found necessary to revise tho classification list, eliminating or cutting down awards for hoiuo non competitive exhibits, abolishing free reed, charging entry fees, and other wise, reducing the heavy overhead. Tho new directors are men who mny bo safely entrusted with the problem of making the 1033 show's ends meet, as well as clearing up Inst year's deficit. They mny bo expected to meet tho situation with duo regard for t lie Interests of tho exhibitors and the pulling power of the show, and with the same regard for tho financial responsibilities of those who are backing the show. The board will miss three of its last year's members Itobert Withycombe and Homer Bid Welt (deceased I and Frank Con ner, who is no longer n resident of Union. Tho Real of these three men contributed heavily to the suececs of the past shows. In their places wo have County Agent H. O. Avery, 3. E. Miller, and Mr. Richards, the new superintendent of tho experi ment farm. No better selections could have been made. The 1032 r.how Is in good hands. Union Re publican.

OUT OUR WAY THE OPEN COURT CORRESPONDENTS MUST SUBMIT TflHIIt NAMES TO THE EDITOR IP THEY DE SIRE LETTERS TRINTED. La Grande; Ore. Feb. 27, 1932. Dear Editor: ! '"' r The question before the farmer and .producer today Is' a market. Now we farmers, the producers, have' been, talking to Mr. Avery and have found that wo are going to be able to In corporate In a way which we are most suro is going to bring results. But wo must depend upon the con sumers to give us their very best support. And It will be up to us producers to establish our prices ac cording to a policy of live and let live, and thus save much 'of the money which Is goingJnto the pock ets of the middleman and being sent out of the county. . , There are a good many sides of the proposition to be considered, and there will be several meetings which we ask the consumers to attend with thewwllllngness to offer helpful crili iciftm and, suggestions. To- emphasize the ' Importance of thlv matter I mention one instance. Tiuyalps were "sold in tho stores at 4 pounds for 1C cents. The markets of fered mo 1 cent a pound. The con sumer can easily see whero all his money goes. The situation will hover be remedied until the consumer and producer come together in a business i way. In Mr. Chandler's letter of Jan. 2G he said thero Is $55,000 spent for out ski . products such as fruit and gar den stuff. But in looking up tho records I find that in the year lt)30 there was close' to $150,000 sent out of this county for fruit and produce! The date of our first meeting will be published later. Hoping to hear from others soon, I remain Your friend, Mr. B. Kail. In Washington WASHINGTON Tlfc appearance of ' William Glbbs McAdoo on the scene enthusiastically endorsing Jack Gamer for president is proof enough that what has been billed as the great political show of 1932 now Is definitely under way. MeAdoo perhaps couldn't have stayed out of the plcturo very much longer. A man who has led in the balloting of two conventions as .he has, naturally Is expected to speak out at a time .like tills, what with! all the "Stop Roosevelt" movements, tho speculation as to what Al Smith really means and iso on. His flat endorsement of Garner would seem to indicate that he has no - hopes along that line himself. Someone once complimented him on his feat of flying from, Los Angeles to Washington In n little more than 10 hours. "Yes," replied McAdoo, "ono can get to Washington much faster by flying than by way of the electoral college." Probably by this time he has been convinced of how true that asser tion Is. TKXAS DAf'KKD HIM ' His coming out for Oarner might possibly bo traced to that political marathon or 1924 the democratic national convention at Madison Square garden. Texas was with hJm for a long time In tho balloting. There are still memories of that powerful and big-voiced Texan who aroeo so often to s hot it that Texas vote was for McAdoo. And It may be that McAdoo has cast his eyes' around and concluded t hat a Democratic president might possibly find it in order to make us of his services, say, for example, in the cabinet. "Uncle Andy" Mellon at 76 is still holding down an Important public position. McAdoo at 6 may have aspirations along the same line. Ho still Is remarkably active for a man of his age. He owns an air plane capable of n speed of 200 miles an hour, and flies all over the coun try. He is an enthusiastic swimmer, golfer, dancer and horseman. nrsv m iuNts war At one time In his career during tllA W.Ar1rl (tut. V,a Vinlrl rlr.ni, positions of responsibility than any other war -ersonaHty. Hp was neoretary of the treasury, chairman of the federal reserve board, chairman of tho federal farm loan board, chairman of the war fi- mine corporation, chairman of the International hlph commission and lltvctor-t;Myral of the railroad!,. It would be nnUiral for him to have a yearning for activity of this kind again. His Interest In public affairs has continued since. He is gifted in speech, and his ob servations on public Issues are al ways noted. Thus when the Wicker sham report was published, McAdoo's verdict was: "Tho weakness Is . . - that It com mits suicide and leaves us weeping at the grave." " RELIEF BILL APPROVED BY HOUSE GROUP (Continued Prom Page Ono) to aid drouth and grasshopper strick en areas, chiefly In Montana, the Da kctas, Nebraska and Washington.

In addition to this the Pacflc Co-operative Wool Growers, a region al wool marketing association, han dles sales" for Union county wool growers amounting to from $16,000 to $25,000. These figures arc con servative, and in times of higher prices the total amount of sales may bo expected to reach double tills estimate, Mr. Avery said. Leaders In the co-operative move ment who have been secured to ad dress the sessions include R. A. Ward, manager of the Pacific Co operative Wool Growers'' association; R. D. Monahan, sales agent for most of the cherry pools in Eastern Ore gon and the Lewiston, Idaho section: W. A. Holt, secretary of the Oregon Wool Growers' association and Geo. C.

Cox Holds Measure Blow to Newspapers WASHINGTON, March 1 W The view that the fixing by manufacturers of tho prices for which branded ar ticles may be sold at retail would deal a serious blow to newspaper advertising was expressed today to a senate committee by Representative Cox (D.
