L. A. Neil. Oregon pioneer and one of
Jackson county's most prominent men,
died suddenly at his ranch home east
of Ashland Tuesday night. About a
week ago while at his mountain ranch
he suffered an attack of acute indiges
tion but recovered sufficiently to re
turn to his valley home. Tuesday night
he suffered another attack and died
within a few minutes.
Mr. Neil crossed the plains with his
father and mother from Tennessee and
had made Oregon his home practically
ever since. He was 70 years of age.
The Neil family has played a promi
nent part in the development of Jack
son county. Mr. Neil was engaged in
cattle ranching and farming and was
one of the most successful and wealthy
of the valley ranchers. Others of the
family have held important municipal
and county positions.

schools to step in and take the place

"Before I'd live with my mother or
her people, I'd disappear, and nobody
would ever know where I went," was
the prophetic utterance of pretty, 14-year-old
Robin Grigsby, whose strange
disappearance 10 days ago has led to a
statewide search, made to Mrs. Thomas
O. Greene of this city about a month
ago during a conversation on a street
car. The child dropped from sight the
night before her mother was to take
her from the home of Miss Mabel Wal
ter. 1250 East Twelfth street, to live
with an aunt in Tekoa, Wash.
Mrs. Greene, who is the wife of a
Portland attorney, said yesterday that
she recalled the conversation with the
child, with whom she was acquainted
through Miss Walter, immediately upon
learning that the girl had disappeared
and that kidnapping was feared.
. Miss Walters Not Blamed,
Absolute conviction that Miss Wal
ters, who has been in Portland more
than 16 years and has conducted a
kindergarten for children of some of
the best families until a few years ago
when she took over the work of caring
for children whose parents were unable
to look after them . properly, had no
ulterior purpose in desiring the care of
Robin Grigsby and could not have been
Implicated in the child's disappearance
was expressed yesterday , by Mrs. A. F.
Flegel and Mrs. Charles Billington and
as well as Mrs. Greene, all of whom
have been acquainted with Miss Walter
for years. . ....
Attorney A. B. Carter, representing
the mother of the girl, had been prom
ised, he said Tuesday, an affidavit from
Mrs. May Wournell, 611 Pettygrove
street, recounting an alleged conversa
tion with Miss Walter in which the
latter declared that she would prevent
the mother from ever getting the girl,
Robin, as she desired to keep her'and
have' her work in a factory when she
grew older.
Child's Words Recalled.
"That is absurd," said Mrs. Flegel.
Miss Walter has done everything pos
sible for that girl. The mother owes
her for. board for the child but that has
not prevented her from caring for
Robin.
The night Robin disappeared, I was
at Miss Walter's home -and saw the
girl. Robin had learned that her moth
er was coming for her the next day to
take her to the home of her aunt, Mrs.
B. F. Truax, at Tekoa. 'I'll not go,'
she said, stubbornly. 'Yes. you will
Robin, you must go with your mother,'
Miss Walter told her. Til not go. I'll
not be a good girl. I won't study or
do anything they want me to. I want
to stay here,' was the reply. But Miss
Walter told her she would have to go i
and that things would probably turn
out all right. Robin was crying when
I left, about 10 o clock. The next morn
ing the child was gone."
Mother Is Divorced.
Ro'blh Grigsby had been in the home
of Miss Walter for more than three
years. She was placed there originally
by Cdltn Urigsby, her mother. In June,
1918, according to Mrs. FlegeL the girl
was made a ward of the juvenile court
and placed in the custody of Miss Wal
ter. This was at the request of Miss
Walter, because the mother, under the
name of Edith Hall, had been figuring
in numerous police court episodes, and
had repeatedly taken the girl out with
her, returning her alone late at night
in a taxi.
Last September, Mrs. Grigsby en
deavored to obtain the girl but was re
fused permission by Juvenile Judge
Tazwell. A. modification of Mrs. Grigs
by's divorce decree several months ago,
by Judge Campbell of Oregon City,
awarding the child to the aunt, led to
the events just before the disappear
ance.

The serious concern about the mounting costs of necessities was shown not long ago when
twenty-six Democratic members of the Massachusetts legislature cabled to President Wilson
that "The citizens of the United States want you home to help reduce the high cost of living
which we consider far more important than the League of Nations."
A man's suit of clothes that cost $15.00 in 1914 costs" $26.00 today; shoes that were $9.00 in
1914 cost $15.50 now; a woman's suit that cost $15.00, in 1914 is $24.00 today; every item in both
men's and women's wearing apparel has nearly doubled in price, while food, shelter, fuel, heat,
and light have soared to equally high levels. This condition prompts the Detroit News to
declare that "what the eating, sleeping, and dre ssing world wants to know is whether the cost
of necessities is justified?" : The consumer finds it hard to understand, according to the Buffalo
Evening News, "why six months after the end of fighting, prices instead of taking a fall, are
forever rising."
THE LITERARY DIGEST presents this week in its leading article a comprehensive survey of the elements
affecting present living costs;' comparative tables showing the difference in prices of many articles in 1914
and today, the opinions of bankers, merchants, and manufacturers as to the future outlook, and the observa
tions of editorial writers throughout the country on the situation. This article should be of practical value
to every DIGEST reader.

Milk may be advanced In Portland,
as tbe result of a meeting of Oregon
dairymen, eet for today at the central
library. The meeting is being: held
under the Joint auspices of the Oregon
dairymen's league and the stockholders
of the Oregon Milk Producers' assocla
tion and all dairymen- who ship milk to
the Portland market have been invited
to participate.
That milk must be advanced at once
and that the present price is too low
to allow the dairymen to make ex
penses is the contention of many of
the milk producers, and at the meeting
today the whole problem of milk pro
duction will be taken up with the idea
of determining & price.
Effort will be made to determine
the actual cost of the milk to the pro
ducer." said M. S. Shrock, secretary and
manager of the Oregon Dairymen's
league, yesterday. "Figures have been
submitted by a number of the pro
ducers and these will be carefully
digested and averaged.
'The league has prepaned a series of
charts showing the advance of prices
along other lines In comparison with
the advance of milk, and these charts
show that while machinery, feeds and
all the essentials for milk production
have Increased in price since June.
1914, an average of 117 per cent, the
wholesale price of milk is only S3 per
cent higher now that it was five) years
ago."
At present the producers are receiv
ing $3 per hundred for their milk from
the Portland distributors, but this price
is actually cut down to about S2.S0, Mr.
Shrock contended, because of the fact
that this is the period of excess pro
duction and some loss results in turn
ing the milk Into butter, skim milk,
buttermilk and condensed milk.
The meeting of the dairymen will
open at 10:30 A. M. in the library and
will continue throughout the morning
and afternoon. A dairy lunch of milk,
doughnuts, cheese and sandwiches will
be served at noon.
It goes without saying that you want to succeed in
life or, if you are already successful, that you want to
make that success greater and more far-reaching.
There is no royal road to prosperity, it is reached
by all sorts of routes, likely and unlikely, but there is
a recipe, which, coupled with plenty of persistent
application, is as apt to help you to fortune as any
thing known to humankind. It may be defined in
one word "education." Now, aside from the col
lege variety, which few of us have had and the rest
are too busy to think of, there remains only that
obtained from intimate knowledge of men and events.
To such knowledge there is no surer, saner guide
than THE LITERARY DIGEST, greatest of news
magazines, the weekly upon which more than a mil
lion Americans depend for their information on the
live issues of the day. This ever-increasing army
represents our best and highest citizenship. Be
wise and enlist in it today.
