Personal interest will figure largely In the debates. It will have much to do with opposition to any reform. It will be the backbone of the destructive criticism. But let it not be forgotten that the pub lie good is the first consideration in public affairs, and that the city commission of Portland Is expected to view- "alt problems from , the standpoint of public good, Mem bers of the commission were elected as public representatives, not as private guardians. If. through destructive action and division of the various elements, the proposed measurer is rendered im potent or beaten entirely the city commission, 'as at present cpnsti tuted, will fail "Utterly m one of Its important duties. The result will be decidedly Injurious to the future of the city. On the other hand. If the lead' of Mayor Baker Is followed and all elements unite In offering "constructive suggestions," Port' land will be .enabled to face the future wltnout the burden of an Oregon boot In the form of massed congestion. Alienists' are to examine Tiernan as to bis sanity. Only on the theory that he is crazy can there be satisfying explanation of his con duct. Men who "travel 'his trail have no business at large. WATER IS GOLD TVTATER Is the gold of the West. vV No Droof of this assertion has been so strikingly presented, as ini the projected trekty of, seven ?West era states for the, division of the Colorado river. It Is the first treaty of its kind. Yet an International compact could not be entered into more 'solemnly than 'this interstate agreement. which has received; the- signatures of the representatives of the states, but which: must yet be ratified by the several state legislatures and by congress., v s i t Under the. treaty, the valley of the Colorado is to be divided into an upper and a lower basin. To each : basin will be allocated 7,600, 000 acre feet of water. The sub division of water among the states concerned Arizona, Colorado," Ne vada, New Mexico, Wyoming, Utah and California- wfll be left for ad Justment after the final acceptance of the treaty. - There Is also a cer tain proviso for allotment of v part off", the water td Mexico when an International treaty- shall have de creed the, terms. ; , . j.1: This division f a great river is projected In -order ' that the states may drink ? op the water. - - Even power development , Is to be held subordinate to irrigation.' Little wll be said about the navigability ot . the Colorado unless congress presses the question; as everyone knows, .tor a boat to ride the Col orado ts a good deal, like placing an Eastern tenderfoot aboard a bucking broncho.- " v - " " Ahead of the treaty ts a miracu lous future. Back pt It is a dream, and the dream ia the. visualization ef the future.' 'The dwellers of the American Southwest see the little irrigating v ditches ; of " the padres multiplied a million times.

Question of . howl far public tax money ought to be used in providing diversion, pastime en tertaihment and other things. To what lengths may, not the spending of public money go, with a publicly- owned golf" links as a starter? - - It seems to be the popular Idea to talk about reducing - taxes lafad vote for reduction of taxes, but not to reduce taxes. 'If any cut is to be made, theprevaiextt thought s4ems to be to cut off the .other fellow's publicly-provided diversion, bujilet mine stand."

It was a cam paign without objective or direction or steering gear, " It contributed more to Olcott's defeat than to his success. . ; t-w - It will be far better for the party in Oregon- if the Republican state organization stays away from the legislature. '. That body has re ceived instructions, and- they are very definite instructions. If the Republican organization does not want a Democratic senator in 1924 It wlH let the coming legislature carry out the mandate It has re ceived from the biggest bi-partisan organization of determined citizens who have gathered together in this state for mutual defense against the manipulations, and legislative skul duggery, of partisan politicians and big Portland schemers. MILK AND SORE THROAT TTEALTH OFFICER PARRISHS nxnt to. parents and his reproof to the doctors of Portland ought both to be heeded. The . health , office finds : that numerous cases , recently reported by flocal physicians as "septic sore throat are merely the temporary sore throats incident to tha season. Hurried diagnosis Is found to be cause of the Inaccuracy, v Health office Investigation, also discloses that milk served in Port land Is in- ho way responsible for the sore throat reports. In a family or two where "septlo sore throat was said to exist it was found that. unfortunately for the health of .the family, milk was. not being used at aJL - But the effect off the "reports Is as absolute as though muk drink ing actually caused the sore throat. There has been a marked falling off of milk use among high school and grade . school children. ,y The, chil dren, are thereby real sufferers. No other food fits them quite so well "for play and, study as milk. No other food Is so essential to body building and to the foundation-of health and. vitality necessary to prolonged and productive Uvea Following is the assurance Off the city health officer: . "We are watchinr the milk sup ply closely, i ' We are keeping the -Standards of purity and quality as high as possible. . Portland's milk supply Is unexcelled as a safe food.

To the Editor of The Journal I send you few wards to honor off the day of Thanksgivings v As a matter off fact of the present time, . and training the spiritual eye to look a little unto the future regarding these .things, it .ap pears as iff the world at large were turning' away from God. This is cer tainly a- very deplorable condition, yet fit. must be the true sentiment of any one faithful to his own conscience. We should ah unfold nr hearts anew on this day of Thanksgiving, In true and most devotional love to God. oar maker, and nourish our souls in sin cere adoration ot- His majesty, the Most High, the donor of aU -earthly and heavenly things, it is not a very great worship unto. God to supply, our bodies with all kinds of good eatables on that day, for the heathen do this thing also, and are in no wise-slack in following such a practice ; but it is this that distinguishes the true emotion off a great nation to love God "with all the heart, and witn the soul ana mind and all strength thereof. Then God. in turn, has promised, "If ye are wlUinar and obedient ye shall live , on the good of the taftd. tt Js this that makes men great calling on the name of the Lord, for such Is His command ment. Our Lord and-God appreciates the tender loving kindness of His- chil dren, if it is done in a purely undefiled spirit of. love toward our Creator and our Redeemer.- Otto Mtwhlenbruch.

Mr. lckley tirea eonereta axamplaa to ahotr exactly what ha swan when he talks about round-and -aquare ptf, and aauare and round holes, What kind of peg are. you a. .round one or a square one 7 sometimes. When a round bolt- or pinlen in a machine becomes loose or worn, try replacing - it with ; a square ona ; . It doesn't matter whether .the machine is a typewriter, an automobile or a threshing machine, you are bound to come to grief. In the- vastly more complex machine . which x we term civ- iUsation, bow much more important is it to see that the. round, pegs are Ctted in the round holes ana the square pegs in the 'square holes.- Sometimes in the shaking we all get on the rough road of life, we are shaken 'Into the work ffor which we are best adapted. It Is nothing less than a tragedy to see a perfectly good : plumber wasting his own time and that of bis hearers try ing to preach, or a man who loves out door life eating out his soul as a book keeper, or a man who could mold the minds off -bis readers, , dotting the i's and crossing the f s for men far less able. If your son and heir wants. to bd a first-class locomotive engineer or aviator or cowboy, donl make a second-rate lawyer - or teacner or preacher of him. - -Let him try his gait. He will soon settle 'in to his natural stride. A few blocks from my house, is a man who could barely make ends meet, t9 say nothing of owning a flivver, as a clerk.' Now he raises and sells Persian eats and rides in a fine, big ear bought from the profits of hie occupation. A friend -of mine who was having- hard sledding- as -. a bookkeeper started raising Japanese spaniels as a side Una. Now it is his main line. Bis dogs bought him a ear, and whan I met .him a week or no ago he had sold $275 worth of spaniels that month. - In 1895 I, was a student at Willam ette university. Among my school mates were Floyd and Hetta- and Ines Field. . Hetta i chose " nursing as her life work. A day or so ago X went out to Chestnut Farm to visit Hetta Field, a nurse so longer, but a highly suc cessful farmer.-- She wears high shoes, trousers of heavy and durable material, a flannel shirt and a canvas eoat. As we sat at the kitchen table X asked her why she had given up her chosen work. : "! found I had mistaken my caUing, she "said i "so 1 was honest enough to acknowledge my mistake aad take up something in which I could achieve swecesa My father' and mother., Mr. and Mrs.- Dexter Field, came to Salem from Michigan, in 1871. My father-was a carpenter and a teacher prior to the Civil war. AVaen he was mustered out off . the service he was restless, so he finally decided to go West. He was marrted shortly after the close .of the Civil war. He came to Salem, and the following day he bought this farm, He ran a dairy the first year he was here, for Lute Savage Sr. My eldest-brother. Ambrie, was born In Michigan.- All the rest of us were born bere-on the farm. There were nine girls and two hoys of us.'- Ambrie is head proofreader on the Saturday Evening- Post..

I did not like to think of spending my Ufa counting .; other . w people's r money. I wanted to make some- for myself, so I resigned from the bank, went to Fresno, and landed a Job on a chickan ranch; to learn the business. , We came to Salem five years ago, and went into the day-old chick business. The first year we handled only 15,000, the next year 25,000. and last year over -100.000, A farmer who raiaea chickens as a side line has no way off getting in touch with any, but local customers. He must, ship his chickens at once or he can not dispose of them ; so there is where we come In. I have contracts with over "40 Marlon and Polk. county farmers to raise chicks for me. I take all they, will bring; me. t The baby chick lives for the first 72 hours of its life on -the unabsorbed yolk of the egg from which it was hatched. The only thing we insist en Is that the farmers who -supply us with chicks must have healthy, vigorous,- standard-bred stock, Wa secure orders' for the chicks in ad vance from customers alt over Oregon, Washington. . Idaho wand Montana Within an hour after the farmer brings the little chicks to" us I have them crated and on the way to a customer. Chickens -should ; under :- no circum stances be fed within 48 hours of hatching, and it does not hurt to let them go 72 bourse; We begin' delivering the - little chicks on February 1, - and ship until June 15. when the season ia over, t pay 12 to IS cents each for day old chicks. I sell White Leghorns at 8140 a thousand and Rhode Island Reds or Barred Plymouth Rocks at $200 a thousand, i Suppose I net only 3 cents per chick, that means 22000 profit during lees than foun months ; so you see it beats my kid-glove whits-collar Job in 'the bank, and I am my own boss. .We advertise in the city dailies and in the farm papers, and we have more customers at times than we can supply. - .
