Butler of Inde pendence was clerking" in a drug store at Dallas. One afternoon, a young man, looking rather rusty, and the worst for hard knocks, came into the store and without any preliminary remarks or excuses said: "My name is Parry and I have just walked in from the East. I have a brother living somewhere in this county, but more importan just now, 1 am both broke and hungry. Dr, Tl .1 111.1 .1 I t i miner lookea tne tne cnap over, sized mm up as : something different from a common tramp, paid A 4 -as -9 tor his supper and bed and iound a conveyance for him to reach the home of his brother the next morning. That was the way Will H. Parry, mem ber of the Federal Trade Commission, first intro duced himself in Oregon. He had walked from his home in the East, wintered with a tribe o Indians enroute, and arrived in Polk county broke and hungry. "When I looked him over 32 years ago in that little drug store at Dallas," says Dr. Butler, I knew he had the right stuff in him. He had all the signs of a comer." From the time of the first meeting of the two men until Mr. Parry's death last month, they were warm personal friends, Mr. Parry at once enrolled as a journalist in Polk county and for a time acted as a correspond ent for several papers. In a few months he be came the editor of the Independence West Side, a newspaper which from the time it was started un til its suspension, had a number of able editors. It was Mr. Parry's ambition to own and edit chain of newspapers in the Willamette valley, and he started or purchased papers at Salem and r 11?

He soon went to Seattle where he became more successful in other lines of endeavor. He was a Renublican ' until a. 1912 when he joined in the Progressive party movement, and because he was Progressive in reality as well as in name, President Wilson appointed him to a place on the Federal Trade Commission. Will II. Parry walked in as a tramp, without money or inends, and despite many reverses, fought his way to the top. The West made him and he finally reached the place where could help make the West.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL The other evening two men were discussing the proposed government war plans in the Julian hotel. One of them was a Corvallis business man, the other a strang er apparently a commercial man. And when they had discussed the matter of the government taking over plants and fixing prices, tne stranger summed it up this way: "lhe hell of it is the people will not want to let go of the regulation after the war is ended. There's the danger of govern ment supervision. Once knock out the profits and there will be a clamor to keep them down, a demand that congress will not dare go against." , And the man was right. If the government steps in and fixes the profits during the war, an4 the people find such fixing is of great benefit to the many then why will not this regulation be equally beneficial in times of peace? That s a hard one to get arourd, isn't it? When big manufacturing con cerns are compelled by law observe certain fixed selling prices, the products must go to the people at a much lower price As there are a thousand con sumers to one manufacturer, nine hundred and ninety-nine are eenehitted where only one was benefitted before. Why isn't such price regula tion food for all times peace or war? Why should not the govern ment determine a just profit for the manufacturer, in war or peace, and tell him he shall not exant a greater rake-off ?

They are recommending to the attention of California legisla tors, with a suggestion that the matter should be taken up at the next session, a bill introduced in the South Dakota legislature. requiring that all appendices re moved in operations shall be sent to the state laboratory for examination. They are then returned to their owners with certificates showing their condition. If un appendix should prove to be healthy, the owner will not be required to pay for the opera tion of removing it.
