hind provided an even greater outlet
lor all that American factories could
produce. For another period of years
the children of pioneers labored long
hours ' at lucrative trades. It took
years of mass production to fill the
markets of this country and of the
world with the produce of American
factories.
The terrific speed with which ar
ticles were manufactured must at
lost supply the want. Our own rate
of Increase In population has fallen
off until some statisticians claim that
we will reach our peak within a few
years. Diminishing Increases In pop
ulation and diminishing foreign mar
kets slowed down production and
left many unemployed.
It seemed a simple thing to meet
the smaller demand with less produc
tion, but those unemployed and those
working for lower wages cut down
the demand even more. All of us
had been engaged in filling a mar
ket but It took only a few working
the same hours to keep up replacements.

er hours. Some advance the Idea that
a six-hour day would provide work
for all the unemployed and would
bring about a more equal distribu
tion of wealth. Conditions In gen
eral would be benefitted. Everybody
working, even though for shorter
hours and smaller wages, would be
building homes and spending the
greater part of their Income for neces
sities. It Is believed that this uni
versal spending would create a
stronger market and would keep fac
tories and farms producing at a
steady rate.
The proposition of everybody work
ing shorter hours at a living wage
presents an appealing field for ideal
speculation. The worker would have
more time at home which he might
use In making his home more attrac

in the pursuit of hobbies. t Some of
those hobbles might even take the
form of handcraft and develop an

"BUY; BUILD, AND REMODEL!"
The city of La Grande now has 711 unemployed persons
registered with the county judge. Many of this number
are men with families to support. A movement to foster
business and. provide jobs for them was initiated by' repre
sentatives of civic, fraternal, and patriotic organizations last
night in a special meeting at the chamber of commerce of
fice. . ..
The "La Grande Work Promotion Plan" will be conducted
'nionr'the lines of plans operating successfully in many other
towns and cities,' and a like success is possible in La Grande
if the' merchants, business men, and home-owners co-operate.
The goal of the plan has been set at $50,000 in pledges, not
pledges of money, but pledges of work from which that
amount of money will be placed in circulation.
The goal will be achieved by means of a thorough house-to-house
canvass. The representatives of the various organ
izations last night pledged the aid of their felow members
in canvassing the entire city, and they urge the willing ; c o- j rXn,..".

"Buy, build, and remodel" is the motto of ,the movement,
and" through an extensive program of improvement jn homes
and", business houses many skilled workers will be employed,
and the resulting stimulation of business will provide num

The movement can be made a great success If all those
jobs which have been put off "until times are better" 'are
done now. Let's not wait for times to get better lef s
make them better right now! Other (communities have
done it; we can do it, too!

"Oh, David why doesn't he send

"Oh, yea, yon can, Kitty." He
spoke gruffly.
Sbe'd said that before, to David,
and he'd answered her like thai.
And Invariably she'd stiffened her

PLENTY OF WORK? '".'
The difference between depression and prosperity means
tragedy to many millions of people and yet, amazingly
enough, the actual gap between the two states is exceedingly
narrow.
. A writer in the current Magazine of Wall Street quotes
figures compiled by the American Federation of Labor which
show that there is in the United States today enough work
to employ every worker in the nation for 85 hours a week.
That is to say, if a seven-hour day and a five-day week
were suddenly installed in every industry, unemployment
woujd literally vanish. There is, it seems, plenty of work
in America for everybody if only it were divided up equit
ahly. The normal working week in most industries is 48 hours,
scalintf down to 44 in many cases. Between that and the
35-hour week there is no great gulf. And yet that small
gulf Is1 enough to throw something like a quarter of all
' otlr wage-earners out of work and put long columns of red
figures in the ledger of innumerable businesses.
Before the depression came we had had several years of
high prosperity. During those years something might have
been: readjusted,' for instance, to spread work out over a
larger number of workers. The high profits that were being
made could have enabled industries to do this without greatly
diminishing the individual worker's income.
But,' as the writer in the above-mentioned magazine points
out: "Too small a proportion of the earnings of 1919-1929
went into consumption. Too large a proportion went to swell
the unspendable incomes of a minority of machine owners.
Too much was ploughed back into additional capital invest
riients to. swell producing facilities which had already run
beyond the consuming abilities of the mass population." '
Now, however, we must look ahead to future opportunities,
not Tiack fo ones that were missed. What are we going to
dof to narrow the gap? The man who presents a sane and
logica program will do his country a tremendous service.

A mischievous look had leaped to
her eyes. "I'm going to take him
with mo to Aunt Lydia's. Sunday.
She says there aren't any real gen

to show her she's wrong. Won't

Frequently Dorcas spoke, wi'.h
affectionate amusement, of her
Aunt Lydla. wbo was. she had ex
plained to Kitty, her one root. Kit
ty had gathered that to a certain
age this relative had directed Dor
cas life. She It was who had sent
Dorcas to the girls school near
Poughkeepsle. of which Dorcas
spoke often, scornfully. Dorcas had
left It to "go on her own." But her
precious Independence hadn't quite
barred Aunt Lydla. Every Sunday
she dressed with great care and
to a degree ot elegance In marked
contrast to the carelessness ot her
nnnearance during the week and
went to her aunt's for dinner. Du:

The evening was like other eve

David with young Mark, heatedly,
Dorccs with both ot them. Emil

and .Max. Adler denounced all their

arid come back here to count what
she had gained In self-respect! To
night she shrank from that other
girl who could so go on; all that
was tired and disheartened and
lonely In her cried out against that
self-respect, she didn't want It! She
wanted Gar, Gar! The sudden un
bearable longing for him brought
hot pricking tears to her eyes so
that she had to shut them tight and
hold them so.
But after a little she opened them
to meet David's kind, concerned
glance. He gave her a quick smile
and she felt steadied, as it a hand
had been put on her.
When they were all gone'.Vwhen
Dorcas had put out the lamps and
spread the fire and said good-night,
Kitty went' on to the little room
that was. hers. It was not much
of a room for It was bare and fur
nished only with a pine bureau
and small Iron bed and a table and
a chair and Its wall-paper , was
faded and a little dingy but It was
hers, for the total of three dollars
a week. ' '..:.'..
Before she undressed . she sat
down at the table and entered the
day's expenses in a smsll memo
randum book. Breakfast, twenty
five cents, lunch, thirty cents, stock
ings, a dollar and a quarter.' She
contemplated the figures she en
tered. Unless some unexpected ex
pense came up she could save eight
dollars this week. She'd saved ten
-the week before. When the amount
reached fifty dollars she would put
It In the bank.
She put the book In her burean
drawer. She laid out a fresh blouse
for the nest mornins, hunf away
her suit. Undressed, she wound
her alarm clock, switched off her
light and opened her window wide
to the cool darkness of the night.
She turned her back on tho dark
ness as it filled her room. She
closed her eyes resolutely. Sleep
she must have for the strain of the
next day. She picked a safe thread
of thought and followed it. Ttnse
tweed thinss Bimply must be sold
another week or so and' no one
would want them!
Mrs. Frew's day besan early with
a prescribed system of exercises.
After this she ate her breakfast
which Cora brought to her room.
She ate leisurely, heartily. When
Cora carried her tray away she lay
on her chaise-longue and read for
an hour, the morning paper, a mag
azine, perhaps a book of new Gc
tion. After that, for another hoar,
she submitted herself to Cora's
clever fingers and Cora's cleverly
directed flattery, finding both stim
ulating. At eleven o'clock she re
ceived Pound to go over with him
the orders for the day.
But on the morning followins
Kitty's flight from the house.
Pound came to her door a full half
hour before she expected to see him.
Pound was so obviously disturbed
that Mrs. Frew dismissed Cora at
once.
"Well. Pound?"
"It's Mrs. Gar, madam. She's
