Come hark to the bells that are ringing In glorious chimes without rest. Where the music of Nature is bring ing Her charms to the beauti'ul West; Where the waters gush forth from the fountains.

Oregon's fame we are singing. For Oregon's glory is won; Sweet melodious bells we are ringing For glorious old Oregon. Here fields are abundantly yielding With orchard, with grove and with vine; Here the metals, unlocked from their shielding. Will glitter and gorgeously shino; If you're seeking for healih or for pleasure. Or bcarching for wealth to be won. You will rind here a bountiful mea sure. Where Oregon embraces the bun. t Her primitive 'forests are waving O'er mountain and valley and dell And the breezes and zephyrs are playing Like silvery chimes of a bell. Here the birds and the bees and the flowers Are weaving the beauties of earth. With the sunishine and copious showers To sweeten the world into mirth Here rapid advancement is making A legion of joys for the soul. And the dreams of the ages are wak ing As reel upon reel we unroll. And the heavenly orbs are beguiling The lovers in amorous glee. While the nymphs and the kewpies are smiling As mountain peaks flirt with the sea. O! bountiful hope of our fathers, With labors unstinted begun. O! that glorious faith of our moth ers. Determined this land should bs won. We will cling to this heritage ever. This land wher our fathers have died. Nor forget their devotion, no. never. Through the glamorous days of our pride. EDITORIALS OF THE PEOPLE (Tha Statesman la Dlsaasd to print communications upon topics of general interest at any Urn. Tbcr la scare ir any limit to the topics of "anral In terest. It la naked only that corre spondents refrain from personalities and use care that nothing be written! or a libelous nature. Letters must have writer's name and address, though not necessarily for publication. Ed.) From a Retired Fartneiotte. Editor Statesman: Well. Mr. Retired Farmer. I'm glad tomeone of us had the pep to "speak right out In meetin'." I wondered if we were all going to sit stiil and let it pass with scarcely even a little squeak. We've done too much or that in the past. I'm not denying, however, that we've done a lot or thinking, even if we didn't say much, and now that the thinking is beginning to bear fruit, and n. ay the crop be abundant, and may our Farmers' Unions harvest it carefully. I think they who tried to place the blame for-the H. ('. I, on we farmers did themselves more harm than they did us. It's kinda funny, anyway. Las', winter they said a lot about losing money, thousands of dollars, because on account of the snow, the farmers were unable to get to town. You see the farmers come in and buy goods at whatever price asked for them, and sell their produce 'or whatever price is offered for it. and then they are said to be responsible for the H. C. L. I can't understand but maybe that's because I am a woman. A Retired Farmerette. Polk County Agent Will Have Office in Club Rooms DALLAS. Or.. March 12. (Spe cial to The Statesman.)

Watch them as their cars go Bast. Instead of heavy coats and gauntlets, they ride without coat cr gloves in the coldest weather.

Insut On Genuine FORD Parts CIM F T P 1 The edict has gone forth that the MIDGET MARKET "must go." Since it was first established it has always been a " thorn in the side" of the meat combine in Salem. Now that they are thoroughly org. nixed aa never before, they are going to make another attempt to put us out of bus iness. You who have resided in Salem for some time, do not find it hard to re call how the big fellows soaked you before the Midget came. Do you want those conditions back again under the guise of "the high cost of living?" They now have a stronger combination than ever and they are out to "get" the Midget with their "camouflaged markets." You, who have been our strong supporters since we were first estab lished, who have been loyal throughout our fight, can now aid us again. Tell your friends, be a booster for the MIDGET. Do sot be misled by the BEEF Trust's underhand methods. Let's beat their game. When the Midget was first opened, a prominent member of the trust remarked that they would "have the boys back on the farm plowing for the old man in a couple of weeks." "The boys" haven't started to plowing yet We have got to teach that BEEF TRUST a few more lessons, among them that they don't own Salem. Yours for Victory, MIDGET MARKET weeks vacation.

And, yet, the only queer thing about it is the way it Queers other tractors by giving Traction without surplus weight. Traction without loss of power through wheel slipping Traction without packing the soil- The Fageol Walking Tractor can be operated on a tide hill without sliding, being, therefore especially fitted for Side Kill Orchard work, as it can be held to the lower side of the tree row without sliding away from it. f a .' It is easily, safely and economically operated. In Fact so Confident are we that it is the Best and most satisfactory farm tractor on the market that We Challenge Ail Oners, individually or collectively t a trial test in any kind or condition of soil, in direct hill climbing, side bill work and general Orchard cultivation.
