IT INDEED seU one's spine to

, tales of what will happen to the
country in case the soldiers' bonus ia
paid.
Various politicians and editors find
that industry . will be stopped; that
business will fall flatjlh'at the flnan
ew Clal structure will collapse, and that
$he country will go to purgatory.
But why is it that the great dis
covery of all the dire things that will
happen to the nation comes along
when thla particular bonus is up for
discussion T Why was it that the
Other bonuses, too, wouldn't send the
country into the throes of economic

t The late war was America's war,
All America was expected to fight it
It Wasn't Just the soldiers who had
to do all the fighting. The whole na
.- tioa and Us resources were expected
to combine, each integral of the na
- tlon was to do its part and each class
share the sacrifices.
None',' of course, was asked to sac
. J-lfice Hfe except the service man.
His was the greatest of all sacrifices
and he accepted the call without a
whimper. Not one soldier who en
. tired the army or navy made any
reservations about life. They all of
fered all if necessary to give all.
' The man with money was supposed

simply loaned his money and for it
he got very good Interest. That was
his bonua And he will get all his
money back.
, The shipbuilder was supposed to
do his share toward winning the warj
He built ships Apd for his efforts
he got more money than he ever got
before. That was his bonus.
The shipyard worker answered the
call. He did his work. And for it
ha got nrore more money than he
ver got before. That was his bonus.
- But while the man with money
was lending his money, the 'soldier
perhaps was giving up his business
and he was offering his' life. . While
the shipbuilder was getting his prof
its- and the shipyard worker his
wages, the-soldier was getting some
thing like $S0 per month.
Is the ..man who offered his life
hot entitled to adjusted com pen sa-

uiani get it. Everybody else got
' his bonua 'But when the soldier
bonus is up for payment the men
with the money immediately raise
the cry that the country cannot af-
ford to pay a bonus to him. Why,
men, wasnt some saving done in
the other bonuses?

Random Observations About Town
Mr. and Mrs. Frank S. Lena- of Se
attle are guests of the Oregon. Mr.
iang made nis start in life In Austria,
but came to this country when 11 years
of age. He was apprenticed to a tin
smith in Wisconsin. After learning his
trade he went to the Black Hills to try
his luck at mining. From there he went
to Montana, where he made his business
start in Helena. Mr. Lang, is quite a
hand to start things. Some of his
friends say he is a self-starter. He
went from Helena to Nome, Alaska, in
1900 and ran a hardware store there
seven years. Returning to Seattle, he
started the manufacture of Lang ranges.
The force in hie factory consisted of two
men. one of them being himself. Today
there are more than 100 skilled work
men turning out Lang ranges, and Mr.
Lang runs a store at Seattle, and also
one in Portland, besides handling his
product through over 150 dealers in the
Pacific Northwest. "Yea times are
good with me." said Mr. Lang. "When
money is plenty I do a lot of advertis
ing to get my share of the business.

OBSERVATIONS" AND IMPRESSIONS
OF THE IOURNAL MAN
By Fred Lockley:
As I stood at the corner near the
po8toftioe in Cornelius waiting for the
Portland stage, a middle-aged' man
Joined me and said, "I've been sizing
you up, and I have a hunch that you
are Fred Lockley. How about It? Am
I right?" I nodded, and said. "Tou are
a good guesser. What made you think
You and I never saw each other
before." "I saw a man pointing out
to you where the first building was
erected In Cornelius and I figured you
were about ' the only person I could
think of that would be Interested In any
thing of that kind." responded my new
acquaintance. A moment later the stage
drew up. We entered, and as the driving
ram beat a tattoo on the aide curtains
my fellow-passenger told me about him
self.
...
"My name - is Edwin Marshall," he
said. "I run a one-legged chicken ranch
near Hazel Dell." "A one-legged chicken
ranch is a new one to me," I said.
have heard of one-horse ranches, but
your type of ranch I never heard of
before. Have you only one chicken, and
is it one-legged T' A one-legged chick'
en ranch, saia Mr. Marsnau, is a
chicken ranch where the chickens are not
well cared for. and where you see them
standing around on one leg with the
other leg' drawn up In their feathers to
keep warm.-' On such a chicken, ranch
you get -vert :few eggs, for it takes most
of the '.food - the ' chickens .consume to
maintain their bodily "heat and they
Jiave no surplus energy to devote to egg
production. Chickens, to prove profitable
to their owner, must be Intelligently
cared for. They must have good houses
with plenty of straw, and they must be
kept clean, and its a good plan to
have the houses lighted with electricity.
With proper care, proper food and the
right kind of shelter a man can make
good money on chickens."
"Why don't yon practice what you
preach and convert your ? one-legged
chicken ranch Into an up-to-date egg'
factory?" I inquired. "That chicken
ranch is my anchor to windward," he
said. I am away from the ranch
good-deal of the time. I have a neigh
tor feed the chickens when I am gone.
Some day I shall quit my present work
and settle down on my place and make
a real chicken ranch of it -, :

What is your line of workT I asked.
That's. 'a rather long story . he an

4(1 bushels or wheat to the acre. They
aont word back to their Iowa fri.nrf.

or so. Then came the drouth of 1892
to 1834. .and we. with most of the other
lowa rarmera, walked out of the country
because we didn't have enough money
to pay our railroad fares. The hard
Umea of 1813. added to tbe three dry
years, had cleaned us out We couldn't
raise any money by hook or crook to
meet the payments on our lands, nor
could we raise enough money to meet
toe interest Que. so we lost all that we
naa invested.
