I OREGON CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1914. THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE. The Debts of the World Are Ficti tious It is Impossible That They Can Ever be Paid. The Courier: The natural debts of the world amount to 42 billion dollars. These debts are all sup i posed to be payable in gold. I doli't think there is gold coin enough in the world to pay one-fourth of this Bmount. The total yearly produc ion of gold would not pay the in- , terest for three months. Further more the bankers and bond holders , to whom the debts are payable own nearly all the gold in which they are to be paid. This is the burden the inhabitants of the world are carry ing on their weary backs. This is the game they are blindly and ignor antly bucking against. Is not it a glorious graft ? V The national debts constitute only a fraction of the total debt. There are state and county and city and school debts. The bonds and stocks of railroads and industrial corpora tions are debts drawing interest or dividends which are taxed upon the public. The fictitious capitalized value of land is also a vast burden of debt on which rent is paid and in- . terest and rent are two names for the same thing. They are tributes taxed on the whole people, collected indirectly in the prices of goods or aeducted directly Irom wages. Then there are the private debts. Many people are in debt to the store keepers, who in turn are usually in , debt to the wholesale men or the banks. The life of the business man is not one of unadulterated happi ness. When not engaged in standing off his creditors he is busy fighting off those who want the goods on credit which is the same as borrow ing money. This condition is eettine worse all the time. These debts can never be naid. The whole world is bank rupt. The people cannot even pay the' interest. And the irony of the thing, the grim, horrid, grotesque humor of it is that the more they pay the bigger the burden of debt becomes, for the constant stream of money flowing into the coffers of the bondhelders is re-invested to increase the debt. The wealth the producers create is thus converted by the black magic of double-entry bookkeeping into a aemon mat devours them, I can't deal with this subject in a brief letter. It would take four pages of the paper. O, yes, it would take four sides of a barn printed all over in minion to give the history of it, to describe the villany of it and its despair and misery and folly. This system of universal bondage that has grown up within the last 100 years, like Jonah's gourd, is the most collossal swindle that ever was perpetrated on mankind. We don't owe these black magicians anything uui, a ueoi oi ingratitude and rope enough to hang themselves. The rope they have had already and the ingratitude is coming. This debt is the cause of the high cost of living and the increasing dif ficulty of making a living at all. The uujecc oi statesmanship is to avoid DAMASCUS Farmers in this vicinity are kept busy cultivating their crops this hot weather. Grain and potaoeg are looking fine. ; : Mrs. J. A, Carlson, who was call ed to the bedside of her sister in Monitor, returned home Friday and reports her sister, who had been seriously hurt in a runaway, out of danger. Knymond Cline left for Pendleton luesday. A hayrack excursion -to Clackamas was enjoyed by a large crowd of Damascus, young people -to witness the nan game between Damascus and Clackamas. The result was a victory for Damascus, the score standing 15 to 11. Mrs. J. C. Elliott, who has been seriously ill in St. Vincent's Hos pital is rapidly improving. Mr. and Mrs. Junger Thomsen and little daughter Elsie, returned home from Sherwood Mondav. where they had Deen visiting relatives. Miss Bertha Willman has been quite ill. Mr. Otto Burson and sister Miss Renna, of Gresham, in Damascus last Saturday. Another victory for the Damas cus Ball Team when they plaved the Brooklyn Colts of Portland, Sunday rne score was iu to z. The ladies' Industrial Club met at Mrs. John McConnells, Wednesday. The meeting was turned into a quilt ing bee and a most enjoyable after noon was spent by all present. Sev eral members were admitted and a paper on general topics was read by Mrs. Viola Burr. A nice program was enjoyed by all present at the Union Sunday school, Children's Day. REAL ESTATE MACDONAL AND VAN A UK EN Real Estate, Insurance, and Loans .

Tillage also has considerable to do with the mois ture content of the orchard soils. By me spring plowing and narrowing of the ground we are apt to have less extremes or temperature, tl;e ground is apt to become warmer, and is pla ced In Ruch condition that the roots can bfieln their activity and top growth begin early. For this reason at times one should not praptice. too early tillage with fruits that are apt to be caught by frosts. The stone fruits especially should not be given too eany tillage." Tillage in the spring of the year increases the water holding capacity of the soil. -It places the soil in such condition that it can catch the spring rains ana noid them for tree growth. Later on in the summer the frequent shallow cultivations will check the rapid evaporation of moistare from wie sou. , Now while cultivation sets plant and gives good results so far as tree growth and production are con cerned, nevertheless, it may be, and is beinp.

Instead of being an aid to many of our mature orchards we find that in spite of all we are doin the trees are ceasing to make satisfactory growth, and in many cases, the fruit is too small.

The ireneral belief is that cherries should not be cultivated, but this belief is unjustifiable; while cul tivation of cherries should not be un dertaken so early as to cause the sap to rise prematurely, nevertheless, they should be given good intensive cultivation at least up to mid-summer. Thousands of cherry trees are dying from neglect. The aim should be to place the trees in good condition for the winter. There is never the danger of winter killing from over cultivation. In the case of heavilv bearing trees as there is with young trees. The summer cultivation of fruit trees need not be deep. There is nothing to gain by cultivating over tnree inches in depth, but this culti vation should be very thorough in order to prevent baking, cracking, or drying, and should be intensive enough to keep down the weeds at the time the trees need moitsure. In the fall of the year the growth of weeds! in young orchards would probably be an aid rather than an injury to the trees. Free Delivery To All Parts of Oregon City OUR STORE OPENS DAILY 'AT 8:30 A.
