MAKING FARM A widespread move
LIFE ATTRACTIVE, ment of the
day has for its object the populariz
ing of the idea that the drift of pop
ulation should be to the soil and not
to the cities. To this end the work
of demonstration has greatly broad
ened, and numerous states have sec
onded the National Agricultural De
partment in helpfulness of those who
want to become producers on the
farms, but do not know how to go
about it. A little capital soon vanish
es when an average city man under
takes to make a living in general ag-
. riculture or any of its branches un
less he has exceptional knowledge
and staying qualities. '. He needs to
be prepared by a study of conditions
in "their true light. It is quite possi
ble, if he is that sort of person, to
accomplish more than he expects,
but there is no need of any failure
or dissappointments when ordinary
prudence is included and reason
able energy shown.
Farmers already established and
classed as successful can see from
experiments going on around them,
even in the boys' corn clubs, that
general labors on the soil are less
productive than they might be. In
no nation in the world is it as easy
as in the United States to become
the owner of available farming land.
But it takes definite knowledge to
improve the opportunity. Farm dem
onstrators who are multiplying, and
agricultural courses that are widen
ing out, are a practical recognition
of the need of instruction to those
who can see that farming is the best
,. vocation if rightly comprehended
and followed up. Crops in this coun
try per acre might be doubled or
trebled. Workers on the soil could
American Workmen Are
Lacking In Training
By C. A. PROSSER, National Secretary of the Society For the
Promotion of Industrial Education
c
HE PROSPERITY OF THE UNITED STATES AS A NATION
AND THE WELFARE OF HER WORKERS ARE THE STAKES
IN THE BATTLE FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF VOCA,
TIONAL EDUCATION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE
COUNTRY. ; -
Germany boasts that within ten years there will be not an un
trained man in the empire. Not twenty-five thousand of our twenty
million wage earners have any proper chance to be trained for their
work in life. The AMERICAN WORKING MAN IS TODAY
THE MOST INTELLIGENT IN THE WORLD, BUT HE LACKS
TRAINING.
Every year two miJlion leave the schools not only without the
proper vocational education and direction, but in a large majority of
cases without the general education which our day holds to be neces
sary to intelligent citizenship as well as efficient workmanship.
The American workman, as a whole, with all his native qualities,
is, relatively speaking, BECOMING MORE UNSKILLED. Low
grade skill means low wages in the face of a rising tide of prices.
His welfare is BOUND UP WITH THE . PROSPERITY OF
OUR INDUSTRIES, which in turn must in the future depend for
their success on a superior type of workmanship which only a DEM
OCRATIC SYSTEM OF PRACTICAL EDUCATION can achieve.

ADVERTISING TALKS
(By Ralph Kayej
How many jewelers who ad
vertise really study the market
they appeal to?
When diamonds are to be ad
vertised does the advertiser ap
peal to the fondness people have
for diamonds? Does he play up
beauty of his goods in a way so
that people can readily , see the
point? Or does he just announce
a "beautiful collection of dia
monds of the first water Come
in and see them." When adver
tising bracelets or chains does
he appeal to the effect they will
give when worn by the readers?
Personal adornment is upper
most in everybody's mind. The
way to take advantage of it is
to picture to the reader's mind
how the different articles will
look when worn.
This holds true of the other
goods jewelers generally carry
such as cut glass, opera glasses,
etc.
' But he can't sell them if peo
ple don't know their real points.

Swiss Schools.
One of the most attractive features
of the Swiss schools is the cordial per
sonal relation that exists between
teacher and pupil. There is nothing
of the military in the discipline of the
school no lining up, no marching to
classes. When the children go to the
classroom they shake hands with the
teacher, greeting him as if they had
not seen him for a long time and are
really glad to see him. The whole re
lation is one of charming naturalness
and kindliness ou both sides.

BY JUDGE BEATIE

house and found the cost to be no
more than it should have been.
M. J. Lee, of Canby, insisted that
the resolutions were not fair. . He
said that the thing to do was to make
an investigation and if anything
wrong was discovered to act, but not
to condemn the county court before
it had been proved the charges were
true. He insisted that the men mak
ing the charges be named in the res
olutions. He declared "that whoever
made the charges ought to be men
enough to stand up and say so."
Mr. Olds, who has bid on sever
al bridges without getting any con
tracts, said several ot tue Dridges
built by the court ware not used. H
declared that .the court had still t
competition and had always favored
the Coast Bridge Company.
"W. A. Haldeman, of the Coast
Bridge Company told me in Portland,"
declared the speaker, "that he did
not care for contracts except in
counties where the courts could be
bribed."
The speaker asserted that one of
the Bridge Company warrants had
been signed by the ' county judge.
Judge Beatie said after the meeting
that he had signed one of the war
rants, at the repuest of the com
pany, and that County Clerk Mulvey
had mailed-it to the company.
Judge Beatie read at times during
his address from the following writ
ten statement prepared by him:
"First my refusal of the' county
court room to the Farmer's Society
of Equity. For the act I take the
whole responsibility. Neither of the
commissioners were in Oregon City
at that time and I acted entirely on
my own responsibility. If wrong I
am the one to blame. Other organ
izations have been refused the use of
the court ro3m on the ground that
they were business organizations and
that the court rooms were not the
proper places to conduct private bus
iness. I still think this the proper
course and while I have been bitter
ly assailed by some few citizens my
action has been just as heartily com
mended by others and the warmest
commendation has come from .the
farmers of Clackamas County.
"The question of the use of the
court rooms for other than county
business or for business in which
the public generally in interested re
solves itself into this:
"That if one organization is allow
ed the use of the rooms every other
organization has an equal right there
to and the inevitable result would
be that the rooms would be constant
ly in use for other purposes than that
for which they - were constructed. It
has never been the custom since the
taxpayers built the courthouse to al
low meetings of a private business
nature to be held in the court rooms
and while I may be wrong I still hold
to that idea.
"I will, say, however, that should
I become convinced that a majority
of the taxpayers of Clackamas Coun
ty desire that the court rooms )e
opened to all organizations I will
cheerfully submit to their will.
"I believe in a majority rule in
matters of this nature.
"The history, of the timber cruis
ing in this Western country has been
up to this time objected to only by
the timber interests or to be more
explicit by the corporations who hold
for speculation large areas of timber
and their idea has been that when
the actual amount of timber has been
ascertained, which can only be done
by cruising, their taxes have been
largely increased.
"Their ways of working to iead
off, or stop, or prevent a cruise are
varied and often successful, some
times they own or control newspapers
that use their influence to bluff out
or scare the officials. Sometimes they
employ people, not always attorneys,
either to fight the cruise on account
of the expense necessary to do the
work, but in my experience this is
the first time that I have known ot
i farmers or bone fide taxpayers ob
j jecting to this mode of getting at
the actual value of corporate property
of any nature for the purpose of tax
; ation and I believe now that when
i the matter is .fully understood by
j them that they will not only be will
I ing to pay for the work but that they
I will -say it is the best investment ey
j er made by the county court for the
taxpayers, except for the timber men
i themselves.
"The contract which the court en
! tered into with Mr. Nease was sign
J'ed early in December 1912, and the
; cruisers were put to' work by him
immediately.
"From 16 to 20 .men have been at
work since that time and the reports
of the cruise thus far made have
been filed with the assessor and I
would esteem it a favor if your com
mittee would look over and exam!
ine the reports there are on fila.
"These reports will give you not
only the amount of timber on each
40 acres of timber cruised but will
also show you the kind of land,
whether adapted after the removal
of the timber, to farming or pasture,
the nature of the soil, the logging
conditions and be a permanent rec
ord for the assessor in making the
assessments. Mr. J. -E. Jack, whom

INCE he was twelve years old,
ago. Thomas Sullivan of Williams Bay, Wis., has taken a morning
plunjie Fourth of July or Christmas, it makes no difference, head first
in he goes. During the winter months he often has to chop a big hole
in the ice so be can take a dip. Gives you the shivers? Well, old Tom, as he
is called, thrives on it The picture shows him walking out on the frozen river

sor of our county, advised and. rec
ommended the cruise and is now
more than pleased with the results
obtained. The funds necessary to pay
for "this work have already been pro
vided for in our last tax levy and
we feel that we will be able to meet
all other necessary expenses for the
year 1913 with the money you have al
ready paid in, so far as the general
fund is concerned.
"We have employed Mr. O. S.
Boyles, an old time resident of Clack
amas County, whom many of you
know. We pay Mr. Boyles $5 per day
and his expenses, which amount,
wages and expenses last month to
$170. This you will note is con
siderable less than $250 or $300 per
month, which has been suggested as
the proper amount to pay.
"Mr. Boyles' duty is to go over and
check up the cruise of Mir. Nease
and if you listened carefully to the
reading of the contract you will re
member what his duties are. Our
expectation is that instead of the tim
ber owners paying one-thirteenth of
the tax as they do now, that they
will pay after the cruise at least one
seventh, or an increase of nearly one
half., which means from $45,000 to
$50,000 increase from the corporate
timber companies.
"The action of a small per cent
of our citizens here is in marked con
tract to the action of the people in
our neighborhood county of Clatsop
along these lines. The people of
that county demanded that some ad
justment of their taxes be made by
the - county court, and all clamor
from the people ceased at once when
the court of that county signed a con
tract with Mh Nease to- cruise
their timber at 12 i-2 cents per acre,
and now we hear that the large tim
ber companies down there have com
bined and are attempting to prevent
the work."

sternly.
