Official Paper of City of Oregon City
"Flag of the free heart's hope and
home!
By Angels' hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born In
Heaven.
Fsrever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls be
fore us.
With Freedom's soil beneath our feet,
And Freedom's banner streaming
o'er us."
JOSEPH DRAKE.
BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY.
A SURE GUIDE: Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him;
and He shall bring it to pass.
Ifest iu the Lord, and wait patiently for Him. Psalm 37:5, 7-
THEY HAVE NOT STRUCK..
AMONG those injured by the present strike is the tiller of the soil.
And it must be conceded that on the same basis as those upon which
others hav'd ceased in aggregates to labor, the farmer would have struck
long ago. This would be a calamity. Without his continuojps labor the
remainder of the people would soon be withoutfood and clothing.
Why should he not strike when he is affected toy evfery other strike
pulled off? When the railroads are crippled thus his products wait trans
portation and -ol'times are a loss. If they are transported it is under cir
cumstances which mean reduced returns. At any time under etrike con
ditions, uncertainty baffles him.
Since 1913 the purchasing pow'er of the farmer's dollar has decreased,
while the wages of other workmen in the organized industries are higher
than in 1913.
The purchasing power of the wages of the railway employe in 1921 was
51 per cent greater than in 1913; the wages of the coal miners in 1921 was
30 per cent greater than in 1913, while the purchasing power of the farm
hand's wages was 4 per cent less in 1921 than in 1913, and the purchasing
power of the income of the farmer himself had beten cit down over 30 per
cent during these eight years.
Hence, it is obvious that the farmters have suffered the meet from
deflation during this period. During the- past year they have sold their
products at a loss, when fair wages and interest on tlfeir Investments In
the farm itself are considered. They have endeavored to obtain rtelief and
to better their condition by appealing to legislation and co-operation. They
have worked on as a duty to themselves and to their country, "While their
problems are uncfer solution. They have inauguartad in Congress the farm
bloc. They demand consideration at the government's hands. They have
not struck-
THE AFTERTHOUGHT.
AT the Argonaut mine, Jackson, California, more than two score of
miners have been entombed for nearly two weeks. Their deaths by
slow and indescribable suffocation or by creeping, torturing flames of fire,
deep down in the earfh away from human hands to stp or hinder, has prob
ably taken place. If death has not comte to their relief, the suspense, the
anxiety, starvation and thirst have been utterly indescribable. Approaching
the sufferings of the men have been the anxiety, the mental and heart tor
ture of their wives and children.
As a last resort to save the entombed men, herculean feffort was launched
lifter six days had elapsed since the accident.
A diamond drill, the most effective for piercing rock, manned by picked
men, in continuous action was 'employed to cut two holes through the 300
feet of solid rock intervening between the location of the entombed men
and an adjoining mine from which the re3curters feverishly work. Two
holes are drilled, tkrough one of which fresh air may be injected and
through the other food and drink may be forced in capsule form. Thtese
holes are three inches in diameter. At lteast five days remain yet between
the men and the rescurers.
And now, after this calamity, we reheard its lesson. We talk of iwhat
Make Your Money
Work
Idle money is money wasted. Why keep your
money in unsafe places when we will welcome
your account in our savings department and
pay you interest, compounded semi-annually.
Think of the interest you have already lost,
and make up your mind to delay no longer in
starting your account.
Your money will make more money while de
posited here and the next good business op
portunity will not find you unprepared.
First National Bank
MIGHT have been done to avtrt it. We shudder at the woeful plight of the
men on duty for their employers and adding to the "comfort of their fellow
men and their families. We sympathize with the anxious, suffering wives
and; children. .''
And NOW we awake from our lethargy and note that it was all un
necessary. Forethought and provision against the possibility of the occulr
rence could have been taken. It would have cost less to bore those -holes
from one-mine to the other under normal conditions than now, and there
would have been communication through which suffering and anxiety could
be relieved. - ' .
The California Industrial Commission NOW declares for tunntels or
passageways between mines for safety in case of fire'or cave-in. It's a case
of AFTER-THOUGHT- A shameful excuse whsre human life "is at stake.
Laws have already been suggested for these safety devices and .will, no
doubt, be speedily enacted. Human life first and dollars second will receive
from- this disaster a new impetus and this is the one great lesson so tardily
and so expensively learned. " : :
THE PENALTY.

to the extent of providing for his off-spring, would disgrace the gang on the
rock pile. However, society should be spared the dangers of his kind while
the state should insist on his toil for his and the good of those whom he
spurns.
THE RETURN TO SCHOOL.
rri HE opening of the schools again after the summer's vacation, calls at
cention to education as the great factor in the national life. Boys and
girls are the future citizens of this republic. They will make or mar their
own fmtures. The community and state will be measured by the breadth and
quality of thteir intelligence.
The schools have a solemn duty thrust upon them in return for the
temrendous equipment cost and opportunity. Their training should be more
intensive than it usually is- Body and mind should be trained to accuracy,
initiative and poise, injarder to-meet successfully life's problems, which are
growing more intricate, more 'exacting year by year.
It is here thai youths 8nd themselves their social and intellectual
qualities. It i3 here they mfeet competition, the keenest and the greatest
they have ever experienced, and here they learn to livie and govern then
selves as a part of the great social and political world about th-am.
May their educational development add greatly to their ability to
achieve and to live genminely tbteir lives.
TRAP, POISON. FLYPAPER
WILL HOLD FLY IN CHECK
The most successful weapons against
the housefly, a man's deadliest enemy
of all insect pests, are the screen, trap,
sticky flypaper, poison and careful
sanitation. Where poison can be used
it is very effective offered as the O.
A. C. Experiment Station recommends
as follows:
Formaldehyde commercial strength
2 ounces; sugar, 2 ounces; water, 10
ounces. The solution is placed in a
shallow dish where the flies can reach
it with no other source of drink. After
drinking of the poison they die near
the dish.
Different makes of fly traps may be
seen at stores and fairs, and most of
them are inexpensive and effective:
The screened in porch with screened
windows and doors will keep most of
the intruders out, and those that do
sneak in may be killed with swatter or
poison, or caught on fly paper or in
traps.
Hordes of flies often breed in the
manure piles, which may be covered
or screened in. Care with the garbage
and iwith litter about the holme
grounds will send the females further
away to Ideposit their eggs.
Allowed their own way these house
pests will carry on their hairy legs
and feet such disease germs as they
come in contact with., notably typhoid,
dysentery, tuberculosis and diphthe
ria. They drop some of these in walk
ing about human foods and drinks-,
which under favorable conditions will
cause diseases when taken with these
sjuhstances.
The death of a single female fly may
prevent the breeding of millions of de
scendants before the summer is over.

which are untried. Seiberling Cords do, however, embody' more advanc
ed and proven structural developments than any other one tire built to
day. Some tires are built with THIS Seiberling feature others with
that no tire built, however, includes them all.
Seiberling tread rubber extends from bead to bead, entirely around the
tire extra protection against tread separation and scuffing from curb
and rut. "
