Chief Justice McBride's reference to a beer bottle in a recent decision affecting the city of Independence may possibly put Independence in a wrong lierht before the world. Sav the chief justice: "Evidently it was not a government corner because the government surveys are not marked by beer bottles buried in the ground; and it is a matter of common knowledge that in the early fifties, when these donation claims were being sur veyed, Oregon was in a state ot pristine purity and' sobriety and beer bottles were 1 unknown. So this beer bottle which the surveyor found and dug and identifies as such must belong to a more recent geo logical period than that extending from 1850 to 1854." Tho past reputation may to a degree justify the suspicion, we desire to state now that citizens of Independence do not make use of beer bottles for sign boards, line posts and corner stakes. While in this particular case it might have been con tended by some that a beer bottle was made use of, rt is a vindication 01 the honor 01 Independence and a proof of its purity that the chief justice re fused to recognize any such a contention.

Butler Senator Reed of Missouri aptly puts it when he wonders that prices are not higher in view of the action of government officials and others who de clare that the country faces a serious food short age. His views are published elsewhere in this issue. It stands to reason that with the high prices now being-received and which are sure to con tinue for some time that every producer will make every effort to grow as much as he can. It is a golden opportunity to make money and everyone will take advantage of it without any special urging. Saying that "you'd do the same thing if you had the chance" is no excuse for permitting the food speculators to continue their robbery. There are a number of persons who would rob a bank if they had the chance; still when any of them trets the chance and embraces it, police officers catch them it they can and the courts order them confined in a place where they will get no more chances."

Tlmt sort of flying which most Americans reward as dare devil trick work is, according to Ruth Law, holder of the American nonstop record, who recently returned from three months spent In French aviation centers, absolutely necessary to the man who engages In a battle in the air "There really Is a crying need In this country for the establishment of school of advanced flying." said Miss Law. "Before an aviator is prepared to engage another flier in battle he should, know how to loop the loop, do a give the opposing flier the Idea that the plane lias leen struck. The oppos- lug aviator, thinking he has put his en emy out of commission, will start away.
