In the city, which offers the chief market for the products of the farm in question, live another young married couple. He makes 13000 a year.

But when he and his thrifty little wife pay their bills for groceries, meat. mDk, rent, transportation to and from work,' and fuel, they have barely enough to take care of insurance premiums and other costs which life 1m- ' pose. The wife, talented and ambitious, would like o go on with music and art study. The young man would like to feel less pressure of the nose to the grindstone.

THE DEVIL'S WEAPON rPHE Root rules for submarine reg . ulatlon adopted by the arms con ference sound far more -like prepara tion for the noxt war than its prevention. After failure of the t'onference to In any way limit sub- . marine construction, the Boot rules were propounded to regulate the use of undersea craft In the next war. The rules themselves freely imply the possibility of another war, and they attempt to set up a rule of warfare ' that was established prior -to the last war that neutrals and , tinn -combatants be free from attack without warning. Bnt f international law provided Just that .before II 1J. Nevertheless, neutrals aad non-combatants were wttacked without warning. ,l.ki the rules before, the Root ruleV are .ped on the principle that warring nations will keep their pledges made in time of peace. But they didn't do ,ihat Jn the last war. Germany was a party to such pledget, and Oer riny broke them without compunc Hon. And thereby the United 8tates was drawn into a European war. Moreover, who is to decide who vre aon-eombatanta in the next war?

It Is worth more than im mediate big profits to make it easy ;Heppner Gazette Times: The past year has been a pretty strenuous one for-the business and industrial affairs of Morrow county. So much depends here on the success of the farmer and stock man, and these two lines of endeavor have been hard hit during 1921; their labor has been profitless to a very large extent and the heavy slump in prices for sheep, wool, cattle and wheat has ai fected every class. . We are optimistic, however, and look forward to the new year with brighter hopes. There has been in more recent days a better price and demand for the wool and sheep and the present indications are for an im provement in wheat prices. Morrow county will come back, and rapidly, too. when there is the least possible induce ment. We have been "up against It" before and weathered the storm, and everyone is going forward, facing the new year with a faith that all will be well.

OBSERVATIONS AND IMPRESSIONS ' OF -THE JOURNAL -MAN By Fred Lockley Judge William Marion Ramsey lives at McMinnvllle. He has lived in Oregon more than three score years and ten. He has served as mayor of the Capita. City and on the supreme bench of Ore gon. Recently we spent an hour or so la his law office in the county seat of Yamhill county, talking of old times. Ton are always looking uo unusual and out-of-the-way things," said Judge Ramsey. "Why don't you go to ,the courthouse here and look up the - old records T Tou will find some mighty In teresting documents. When Lafayette was the county seat of Yamhill county there waa filed in the courthouse there the inventory of the estate of Miles Carey. I had occasion to look it up about SO years ago and J noticed among his as sets, which consisted of horses, cattle, farm machinery and other such equip ment, the item, 'one negro slave named Bob.' I dont know whether bis heirs re alised anything from thia particular aaset or not. Of course you are familiar with the stringent regulations that were pa awed against the residing in Oregon of frJ negroes, and the . equally drastic laws forbidding the introduction -of slavery into Oregon : and. by the way, we still have on oury statute 'books the laws against colored - persons or ' mulattoes owning property or residing tn the state.

He had arranged to put a mortgage on' the place ior tne entire amount of the purchase price. He told me he was going back East to get more of his fellow-worship ers to come to Oregon. When I saw that he was getting a loan for the amount of the purchase price of his farm. I thought. vregon will never see you again. When you get back East you will stay there.' But I was mistaken, for be returned and brought a lot of his people with hlm and the. city of .Newberg. was built by William Hobson- and his oo-reilglonlsta.
