C MAKHII IIP A (iood IMaee to Live Not only has tho country adjacent to On- iri become famous as a producer of ag ricultural wealth, but it is fast gaining an unviable reputation through its large ship- lents of livestock to Eastern and South- 'csiorn markets. During the past two reeks the Oregon Short Line railroad re vived for shipment to Los Angeles, two MK load of hogs; to Michigan, a car of hor ses; to East St Louis, one car of horses, ind to Boston, one ear of wool. Many of the prominent farmers of the narounding country came hers with much ncperienc but very .little capital. They settled in ih.' Snake River section because f the many advantages it offered, and dnVh were not found in other portions of the west through which they have passed. rhile an ideal climate, which cures many tilments and produces none, influenced them to a certain extent, in their choice of this country .1 their future home, there- turns which nature offered those who wou ld assist her perform her function were so rich that the pioneers took advantage of the opportunity and became identified with the successful toilers of the soil, and today the casual observer is presented with a pic ture of a beautiful land dotted, as far as the eye can see, with pretty homes of the ranchers, yellow, mellow grain bowing in humble submission to the caresses of the BUn or whisnerinff to the irontle breeze. a rt t - - -- trees groaning under their burden of del icious frui, horses, cattle and sheep grazing contentedly in pasture, while the happy, jolly farmer, after the days work is o'er, re clines under shade tree, and offers a prayer of gratitude to the kind providence that guided him across the desolate plains to this vertible "Garden of Eden." But what has been accomplished by one can be accompliseed by an other. The country needs more people. Today the possibilities are just as great as they were in past years in fact, are great er. Not many years ago, there were no railroads in this country, and as there was little profit in teaming produce to the then far away markets, the average farmer rai sed only enough for family consumption. Farming implements were very expensive, on account of their having to be shipped from a far distant point, and the rancher was forced to adopt crude methods in farm work. Today we have rapid transportation facilities to large markets; towns (in close proximity to ranches) in which are found up-to-date mercantile establishments that carry a stock of agriculturtl implements of every description, and which also offer the farmer the best prevailing prices for his products. Home8eekers who are seeking a place in which they may enjoy all comforts of life, there is no richer section to which he may be invited to visit than this garden spot of the northwest. Here he mav worshin as his couscience dictates; his children are afford ed excellent educational advantages; a leg ion of citizens whose acquaintance he will feel honored in cultivating will extend to him the hand of warm friendship; and in time to come, through good, sound manage ment he will accumulate manvearthlv poss essions. In our seheme just at the time when extra money is most needed, when the breadwin ner or housemother is unable to work, then the doctor bill piles up. It's hard on the family and harder still, pretty often, on the doctor, who has to wait long fo'r his pay. Also, one imagines the Chinese doc tor probably keeps a pretty close eye on his patients and does what he can with orient al methods in the way of prevention. A plan which combines the good features of both methods is being talked about of late. It is for everyone to undergo the per iodical health examination. There is no question of the fact that many fatal diseas es and degenerations could be checked or cured if taken in time. Having a thor ough physical examination every three months would save many a serious illness. The death rate, particularly for children. has been going down for several years, but that for people in middle life is going up. Much of this is due to the slow growth of of deseases which are not realized by those who have them until they reach a point where they can no longer be helped. It is an excellent plan for every family to have the physician call once a month, look over me peouie ana me nouse ana give whatever advice seems wise in retrard to health and hygiene. Prevention is always better than cure, as well as cheaper. This plan gives the physician a small but reliable income, and provides the family with best of all kinds of health insurance. Money, Labor and Prosperity 000,000 more fW8'e than they needed for their legal reserve. The English pound sterling, heretofore the world's standard, Was the greatest discount in history of the two countries. Every American dollar was worth $1.02 of British money, $1.05 of French or Italian money and more yet of German money. All the foreign powers faced the necessity of raising big loans to to help their credit, of shipping great vol umes of gold-which we don't need at all. The labor situation is not yet anywhere near so favorable as the money situation. But at present, the outlook is unexpectedly good. The entrance of Italv into the war means that in all probability, hundreds of thousands of Italian reservists will return to Italy. That will greatly lower the mar gin of unemployment, which is already rap idly dimishing. If any of the Balkan states follow Italy's example, as two or three of them may, there will be a further diminu tion of our surplus of labor supply. The result may be unfortunate from the viewpoint of many manufactures we may not have left enough labor to supply the growing demand as our industries revive. But a shortage of labor is, in any case, pre ferable to a surplus so far as the general public is concerned. It means that the country no longer has to carry the dead weight of the non-producing consumers. It means good wages, greater spending power, a speeding up of the whole economic machine it spells prosperity. AMBASSADOR BERNST0RFF , yvs' flivi,' ;! L 'k i bm.5. I ' 3ubYI Ptiote by Amnrlnn Ptmb AMirllon Count Von Bsrnstorff, German Am bassador to the United States, who has s difficult position, owing to war complications. The Quarterly Doctor The Chinese pay a doctor by the year to keep them well. If thev fall ill, the doctors salary from that family stops until health returns. Americans do the exact opposite. Surely the Chinese plan is more logical. . There are two things which, more than anything else, mean prosperity. They are plenty of money and the full employment of labor. The outlook in both of these res pects is surprisingly good. The increasing financial soundness of the country during the last few months has become a commonplace, but it is not generally recognized how strong our posi tion really is.
