EQUITY FOURTH
xsew xorK has a law a new one
which empowers the commissioner of
griculture to appoint an assistant
commissioner whose duty it is to en
courage co-operation and to help or
ganize cooperative enterprises.
Here is a great big opportunity for
some man who will put enthusiasm
and good sense ahead of the salary
(? 3,000) and sacrifice his personal
ambitions for the good of the state,
Three thousand dollar men did not
build the great corpration of today.
The man who will succeed in this, new
job must be much more than a $3000
man. The state usually requires ser
vices far in excess of the compensat
ion. Many patriotic men accept the
condition and perform a worthy work,
Mere s hoping tnat tne new man in
this important job will be of that
class.
It has been the habit in some sec
tions for the bankers and business
men in the towns to make a protest
because the farmers were buying aut
os. All sorts of dire calamities would
follow such foolish waste of money.
Statistics were compiled which were
intended to show how it took the
money out of the country. Speculat
ions were indulged in which were to
show how the farmer would neglect
his business by spending his time
. joy riding and other suggestions just
as foolish.
As a matter of fact the auto is an
- economic proposition for the farmer.
It widens his experience, enlarges his
associations and saves him time and
horse flesh. If any body on earth is
entitled to own an auto it ii the far
mer. May the prosperity of the farmers
continue until autos are as common
as buggies.

There will not be any dare-devil

pose to have a good old fashioned pic
nic in the grove with a big basket
dinner at noon. Of course there will
be some foot races and several tug
of war contests and even an automob
ile race. And those that like to dance
will have the very best kind of an op
portunity to take part in this pleas

the grand ball in the evening; or both,
For the more sober minded who are
not interested in contests, a complete
program is being arranged for by the
committee which will include addres
ses upon Equity matters as well as
a patriotic address, and also several
musical selections will be rendered.
The various local presidents will be
called upon for short remarks as
well as other prominent county mem
bers. It will be a great get together

New Era is the place and the Fourth

Chicks Make Chickens
The proper heating of the brooder
is an important item and the heat
should come from above. Under the
hover, the temperature should be
fully 95 to 100 degrees for the first
week, 85 to 90 degrees for the sec
ond week, and reduce to 70 degrees
when the chicks become stronger. The
chicks themselves are the best ther
mometers. When they cry and huddle
together they are too cold, and
when they won't go under the hover,
and try to get as far from the heat
as they can, they are too warm.
Farmers, mechanicians, railroaders,
laborers, rely on Dr. Thomas' Eclec
tic Oil. Fine for cuts, burns, bruises.
Should be kept in every home. 25 and
50c.
The day is not far off, we hope,
when the Equity will be in the big
markets of the world both as a sell
er and a buyer and not until then
will the farmer come in direct con
tact with the big questions of inter
state trade, tariffs, credits, money,
transportation, banking, price-making,
pure-food and many others of vi
tal interest to all.

A thought is a dynamic force and
goes where it is sent and always
linos a mind to receive it. The whole
world is facing a crisis. The great
common mass of people in all coun
tries are agitating the questions of
equity. We are in the beginning of a
great commercial change. Farmers
are receiving the thought.
The railroads want the farmers to
organize. Now comes the state of
New York and puts an organizer in
the field. How about Oregon?
When a farmer buys a binder he
can get detailed instructions how to
put it together.
Where can we find the men to go
to the other counties of Oregon and
give detailed instructions of how to
set up an Equity system and get our
state machine running? It is up to
our directors.

New Laws
Here are a trio of little, unnoticed
ones that are laws this week:
Chapter 186. To prohibit sale or
giving away of intoxicating liquor in
any railway, interurban or street
railway depot or under the same roof
within any building physically con
nected with such depot and providing
penalty.
Chapter 26. Requiring local ag
ents of railway companies to bulletin
promptly the arrival and departure
or trains, according to actual infor
mation received, and providing a pen
alty.
Failing to support a wife is now a
serious offense in Oregon. Under the
new law non-support is made a fel
ony and a men who fail to observe
their marriage vows in this respect
win oe subject to punishment wherev
er they go, for they can be extradiat
ed from other states. The new law
provides that men failing to observe
the law shall be taken before the
grand jury for indictment and shall
be tried before a jury. Under the old
law the crime was a misdemeanor and
was heard by the county court with
out a jury.

No Guessing Out a Man
There is no accounting for the
strange freaks men do and the queer
ways they have. Wouldn t there be a
voar when they went home to th ur
meals if they , had to climb up a high
stool in front of a table on which
there was no cloth and eat their meals
in that fashion. Yet the majority of
men, wnen they go to a restaurant,
will pick out the high stool and feid
board with no cloth on it in prefer
ence to a comfortable chair with
cloth-covered table. A man will bor
row a chew of tobacco, and most of
them will set their teeth into the
plug where some other man has
gnawed off a chew. Offer him a piece
of pie at home which his own wife
or one of the children had taken a
bite and he would holler his head off,
At home ne will not drink out oi a
glass cup from which one of the
family have been drinking from. Call
him into stall of a livery barn, pull
out a bottle and he will stick it half
way down his throat in order to get
swig, after half a dozen fellows
have had the- neck of the bottle in
their mouths. Truly a man is a queer
duck.

Your confidence is what
Studebaker seeks to keep
Possessing this confidence, we have never
tried to produce a cheap wagon. We could, but
we don't dare try the experiment. Our constant
aim has been to produce the bat wagon.
And in living up to this highest standard, we have
won and hold the confidence and good-will of
hundreds of thousands of farmers all over the world.
Studebaker wagons are built to last, to do a day'a
work every day, to stand up under stress and strain
and to make the name Studebaker stand for all
that is best in vehicles.
Don't accept any other wagon represented to be
just as good as & Sludebak.tr. The substitute may be
cheaper, but it isn't up to Studebaker standards, and
you can't afford to buy it.
