;,i Possibilities for the development
' of a lucrative trade between this port
and Sweden are reflected In a tour of
investigation undertaken by Axel
Johnson of Stockholm In the Interest
I of the steamship line which .bears
. his name.
Johnson cam here
companied by R. E. Borchgrevlnk. agent
of W. R. Grace & Co. j He was the gruent
of honor at a dinner Riven by local
manufacturers and shippers lit the holly
hock room of the Multnomah hotel Sat
urday eight.
Axel Johnson is sole owner of the
largest privately owned steamship Una
In the world. The fleet consists of IS
steamships and nine mo tor ships, rang
ing from 6000 to 9000 tons. Six ships of
i the Johnson line ply between Sweden
and Pacific coast ports of North and
South America. Possibility of making
Portland a regular port of call is wholly
contingent upon securing cargo here and
; finding a market for iron, steel, paper
' and other Swedish exports.
The products named find a ready mar-
! ket at New York and . other Atlantic
coast ports, according to Johnson, and
could be purchased to advantage by
manufacturers on the Pacific coast. Re-
! turn cargo would consist of phosphate
rock, fruits, wool, hops and wheat.
The distinguished visitor invited the
Chamber of Commerce to send a com
mittee to Sweden to. investigate trade
opportunities and establish commercial
relations with that country. H. B. Van
Duser. president of the: Chamber, pre
sided at the dinner.
Johnson left Saturday night for San
Francisco and Los Angeles. He is ac

. Gresham business men were hosts to
525 farm bureau members and members
of the Boys'. and Girls' clubs of Multno
mah county at a "home products lunch
eon" in the Masonic hall yesterday noon.
This was the closing feature of the
farm bureau week which has been such
an outstanding success from every
standpoint.
. Multnomah was the first -.ounty to
start the farm bureau week, which is
really a week of lectures on subjects of
interest to agriculturists on the same
plan as the state farmers' week held
each year at Corvallis.
Members of the Boys' and Girls" clubs
took an active part in the week's pro
gram. Practical demonstrations were
put on by some of the club members
who have made ood in their projects.
More than 60 clubs members attended
the luncheon and were pointed out by
Paul V. Maris, director of extension
work of the Agricultural college, as the
future leaders and food producers of the
county. '
H. C. Seymour, state club leader, told
of the progress of the clu6 -Work the
past year, saying that 3000 members
had filed their final reports showing a
total income for their projects of $111,
000, with $55,000 as the expenses which
included the labor involved.
- The club work has been so standard
ized that every member taking up a
project has conducted it in a certain
manner.
Among the speakers were Mayor Mil
ler of Gresham, S. B. Hall, county
agent ; H. C Seymour, slate club
leader ; Vick Smith, vice president of
the State Farm Bureau ; H. A. Lewis
of Russelville.
Paul V. Maris spoke on organisation
and the work' that the farmer must do.

Music As Ah Aid to Thrift
Thrift? What Is It?
SAVING moriey? Yes, in part, but
only in part, for anyone can save
money if he will spend less than his
income. V , " , . !. .
A man, can save money and be
penurious. He can be close. He; can.
be a miser. This is not thrift. It is
waste, and waste is the opposite of
thrift. It is wasting one's life, and
life is the most precious thing a man'
has. It is more valuable than1 money,
for money can be acquired. -Money
can be secured through our own effort. .
But life is given to us and it is lim
ited. Nothing we can do can extend
it beyond the prescribed limits. Thrift
is 'infinitely more than saving money.
It is saving money and, utilizing it to
the best advantage.
It is providing for old age and the
future needs of those who are depend
ent upon us, but it is also providing for
our own present needs and the needs
of those who are entrusted to our care.
In the strenuous complexity of mod
ern life- everyone requires a' certain
amount of pleasure, relaxation and
wholesome diversion. He needs to
educate himself and his children. He
also needs to oil the machinery' of
muscle and nerve, so that he may work
better, tire less and therefore play
longer. - j
Thrift means to obtain that which is
needful as economically as it can be
obtained, rather than to eliminate it
from our lives. It has been abundantly
shown that music satisfies aj greater
variety of our needs than any other
Single agency. The war proved it. The
greatest men in' history have testified
to it. i
Music is used in religion, in indus
try, in most social gatherings and
wherever people congregate in lare or
small numbers. It is especially used
in the home. It is apparent to every
one that those pleasures -which can be
enjoyed at home acenhe most economi
cal. It is equally obvious tljat these
things which are the permanent means
of supplying pleasure are more econom
ical than those things classed as pass
ing pleasure.
Every home should be equipped with
a musical instrument, tor your own
sake; for your family's sake, and espe
cially for the sake of your children.
Music is part of their education.
P. P. Claxton, United States com
missioner of education, says: "Aside
'from reading, writing, arithmetic and
geometry, music has more educational
value than any other subject taught in
the schools."
It is a mark of culture. It is whole
some. But more important still, it
provides the means of enjoying and
enriching life.
The National Child Welfare assso
ciation says: "Music is a birthright.
Through music the child enters into a
world of beauty, expresses his Inmost
self, tastes the joy of creating, widens
his sympathies, develops his mind,
soothes and refines his spirit, adds
grace to his body. Every home should
have some musical instrument."
Longfellow says : "Show me a home
where music dwells and I shall show
you a hapny, peaceful and contented
home." ,
Observe National Thrift Week,
January 17-23
ut in so doing, give serious thought
to the difference between those things
which add to the pleasure and comfort
of living and those things which merely
gratify a passing desire.
Be thrifty in what you buy as well
as in what you save, and you will hv
crease the happiness of your life a hun
dredfold. Music Makes Thrift Easy

vancement of music in connection with the ob
seryance of National Thrift Week. January

OPPOSED BY BEND
COMMERCIAL CLUB
Naming of Commission to Inves
tigate Deschutes Projects Is
Proposed i Big Loss Is Feared.
Bend, Or., Jan. 15. The Bend
Commercial club has issued a book
let entitled. "Shall One of Central
Oregon's Greatest Assets be Misman
aged?",, explaining the irrigation sit
uation in this section, with special
reference to the Deschutes project
and the north unit project.
Present plans for the utilization of
the waters of the Deschutes river con
template the storage of the winter. flow
and its diversion for irrigation of , the
north unit at a point 50 miles north
of the storage site. It is pointed I out
that such a plan of storage would mean
the loss of many thousands of dollars
to Bend and Oregon by forcing an an
nual shutdown of the sawmills, which
need a river flow to keep their log ponds
free from Ice, would mean the destruc
tion of power possibilities capable of
producing 50,000 horsepower, would leave
to perpetual aridity thousands of acres
of irrigable land nearer the storage site.
for which there is no other source of
supply, and, with power possibilities
gone, the jhope of securing pulp and
paper mills in this section to consume
the thousands of acres of otherwise use
less Jack pine will be dissipated.
The club booklet contends that the
north s unit I can obtain water from the
Crooked river, which, If not used in
that unit, will never be used anywhere,
and gives records to show that the flow
Of the Deschutes river is not great
enough to water all four irrigation pro
jects in this district, and if the north
unit is irrigated from the Deschutes, one
or more of the remaining three must
be abandoned:
Kecommendation is made for the ap
pointment of a commission, one mem
ber named 'by the governor, one by the
U. S. reclamation service, and the third
chosen by the- two, to study the rryost
efficient uses to which the waters of
this section can be put, having in mind
the greatest ultimate development of the
Central Oregon country.

MOVp MAY PROVE COSTLY
Salem, Jan. lo.-VThe attempt to cre
ate a commission for the further inves
tigation of conditions on the Deschutes
river Is "viewed with alarm" by State
Kngineer Percy A. Cupper, who con
siders the move as only another delay
in the progress of the big Deschutes
IrrigaUon project which might prove
fatal so far as federal cooperaUon is
concerned, j
Pointing out that the Descmites proj
ect was the first to receive attention
under the act of 1913 appropriating $50,
000 to be expended in cooperaUon with
the United States reclamation service.
Cupper declares that "it would be un
fortunate at this Ume to throw any
obstacles inj the way of this development
for which finances seem likely to; be
made available at an early date." i
"Based upon the plans set, forth In
the cooperative report,".. Cupper points
out, "the nbrth unit, embracing 100,000
acres of the Deschutes project, pro
ceeded in 1920 with the preparation of
final construction plans at a cost of
approximately $50,000. The United States
reclamation service recommended : an
allotment of $400,000 to be expended on
the Deschutes project
"The Tumalo project has voted bonds
in the amount of $550,000 with a view
of participating in the construcUon of
the Benham Falls reservoir, which is
to supply water from- various units of
the Deschutes project.
. "Oregon has been unfortunate in the
past in not saving her rull share of the
reclamation; funds expended within! the
state. A cjareful examination of ; the
facts discloses that our inability to put
UP a united front and work in harmony
with the United States reclamation serv

Physician Is Tsiken
By Constable for
Negleot of Family
Dr. H. Ci Vi erick, a physician with
offices at 811 Medical building, was ar
rested early! lastnlght by Constable Ed
Gloss and deputy Watkinds and locked
in the county Jail on -a warrant charg
ing non-support of his wife and 6-year-old
son. swbrn to by the district attor
ney's office. i
Mrs. Vierick complained to the county
official thai her husband had neglected
her and their little boy while showering
his attentions upon other women, and
that he would occasionally give her 50
cents or a jdollar to provide for them,
while displaying far greater liberality
toward ' other women. Dr. Vierick is a
cousin of George Sylvester Vierick, who
gained national notoriety as a pro-German
sympathiser and agitator during
the war, his wife Informed the' of fleers.
More than 23,000 people thronged
The Auditorium during the past
week, in attendance on Portland's
I?
annual automobile show, which came
to a successful close last night with
a brilliant all-comers' ball on the
main floor of the civio building.
Show officials are expressing consider
able satisfar'.ion over he week's result,
which has fansurpassed their expecta
tions' in total gate receipts, .if not in ac
tual attendance. A comparison with last
year shows the attendance Dine 6000
lower than the poll taken at the Ice Pal
ace ; but of last year's total attendance
of 28,648 at the Ice Palace and 10,979 at
the Armory, more than 15,000 were com
plimentary admissions, where this year
but few fr.e admissions weije granted.
DEALERS ABE PLEASED
Dealers are fully satisfied with the
interest evinced by the public in offer
ings of the automotive world. When
the number of cars on display are taken
Into consideration, the show was not. as
large as last year, but 1921 had advan
tage over 1920 in that the whole display,
both automobiles and equipment, was
gathered under one roof, to the greater
convenience 'of the public. Sales $ave
been brisk and dealers' fears for a con
tinued slackening of business have been
dispelled by hundreds of prospects
booked, both for replacements and initial !
sales. . . ..- - v., , , . -. -f-. j
Many features planned for show week
had to be abandoned for " various reasons,-
one of these being the fashion
show, which was to have been a feature
of last Wednesday night, when "society"
was Invited to take in the show: 1
DAXCISO IS FEATURED ,
This was occasioned by the tardy ar
rival of, the necessary fashions. The
final night was a rutins climax to the
brilliant week, however, tor the cars
forming xhibits were removed from
the floor at 9 :45 and the last two hours
of the show given over to , dancing.
Stoutertmeyers orchestra, was ' in at
tendance, and the ball, an innovation in
automobile shows here, was pronounced
a decided success. .
Dealer organizations this morning will
remove their exhibits from the floors,
as will the equipment men on the bal
cony, and The Auditorium will be made
ready for fraternal dances planned for
the coming week. -
