Vhen the,.Great War was on, the patriotic sons of Ore . son, 35,000 pf them, came in on the dead run to enlist and to save the apparently fatty-degenerated soul of America. And get in on the front rank of the patriotic supporters of libera ty. The .world, though its written history drags out for a longer future than Kin? Tut's recent entombment, will never forget how splendidly they served mankind in their spontan- - ecus enlistment!7 l l :::-..y ''i :';f - Hji -:iy . , .When the War was over, the boys came home; one and all they took up again the burden of peace.

It was really only one man, bearing' to the bank a bundle of war-time liberty bonds, many thousands of dol lars' worth in all, turned Dver to him as an investment in Oregon industrial securities; tne purcnase price oi a great block of stock in the Portland Railway, Light ' and Power company, conbuted by; more than 100 new buyers.

The comparison of se curity ;yalue between dead war bonds and live industrial se curities, public utilities that the whole people must have, ought to be as the value of a live horse and a dead one, a live baby in the home or a pitiful little mound in the cemetery. It has almost '4,000 stockholders, almost every one being a patron of the company, buying from his own factory.

J 4fe t f This will riot change the attractive rate of interest; un less it , is tOTaise 1t,because of home - supervision and in telligent local cooperation. ; It should indeed increase effi ciency and returns, on adescending scale of prices. Why should one overcharge himself, to pay back to himself in the form of investment returns ? Rather, it would be to the interest of every owner to help build up markets, and pro zcta economy or operation; so that better returns. and low er cczt would inevitably follow. But outside owners might cut down' the. service ant) raise the rates, 'on the age-old theory of taxing the business all it will bean ; v " There is the same argument for customer ownership pf utilities as for the ownership of homes, of the clothes one wears, of the food one eats. ' It is the universal argument of liberty ; not the grudging, calculated permission of the alien owner, but the intelligent home! control of the utilities by which industry thrives J The sale of federal securities in these times of peace, to the eastern investors who have no vision, to the old men and the old women of decadent spirit and atrophied enterprise, and the reinvestment of the money in living Oregon securities that help to build up the state, is as patriotic and as liberty-making a move as the marching of the boys and the dollars to the great war. - Dad's boys are already home, and his dollars are coming as fast as. the trains can bring! them; all getting. into the game of making Oregon greater (in times of peace. v . ,-.

After extended, hearings it was : unanimously - determined that the charges had not been sub stantiated. It Is charitable to be Ueve that Mr. Watson had been deceived by designing persons in to making his sensational attack apon those , in command of the American expeditionary force.

The undertaking is char acterized by the press as a shining example of American impertinence and lack of reverence, even "such an important man as Lord Curzon being moved to protest. '; .i " Prom the point of view of prac ticability the undertaking had lit tle to commend it. The chances of recovering: the remains of Poca hontas were exceedingly slight and they would have shed no light on history had they been unearthed. There .was no ; reason, either his torical or archeological, for the enterprise, which was : actuated chiefly by sentiment. - But, as for evincing a lack of the finer feel ings that are supposed to charac terize civilized people in their ac tions toward the dead, as the Brit ish charge, there, is nothing In the actions of the American scientist's to warrant this assertion. Digging around among the graves of the dead' fas offensive to many people, as the bitter criticism of the Egyp tians when English, French and American Egyptologists were turn ing the. Valley of the Kings up side down shows. ' But, if an Am erican feels the ; cosmic urge . to search through an English, ceme tery for the remains of a figure in Yankee history, one cannot see how thts is any more heinous an offense than producing an Egyp tian potentate out of his gorgeous tomb.

' For example we exported nearly 2,000,000 pounds of chewing gum. so no one can say we did not do our share In giving the world a substitute for the rag.

Someone has said that ' "the world Is in a ferment," and the Democrats will doubtless ascribe It to the fact that we exported al most .2,400,000 pounds of yeast. Yet we have It on the authority of the Bible that "a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." ' If the Bolsheviks come to ns again to feed Russia, having in view the seizure of our corn for Lenin's armies, we might put the soviet hors du combat with dried apples. We exported 12,000,000 pounds; and one might think the world was "full of prunes" be cause we shipped 75,000.00 pounds of that one time lowly, and now regal delicacy. . ;., , There used to be a great de bate among philosophers as - to which came first, the hen or the j egg, The Democratls tariff law solved that problem by putting egg. .The Democratic tariff law ed coming in by the millions from China, and it was thus we learned that the egg came first -the hen must have been some centuries behind; Now the world is coming to us for fresh eggs and we ex ported over 30,000,000 dozen. To quiet the jaded nerves of a ghost-ridden world we sent out 380,000,000 pounds of tobacco and pipes in which to smoke it and over nine billion cigarettes. ' The world ought to be able to keep a' stiff upper lip with the 224,000,000 pounds of starch we exported, and . our shipments : of nearly 5,000,000 garters and sus penders should hold things : in place 'for a while longer.' f j.r. Diplomacy does not eeem to be the only game : which goes on ar- ! ound the green table abroad, for we exported 7.800,000 packs . of playing cards. The great Ameri can game must be coming Into its own. ; And while we may be pretty well fed up with European printed propaganda, we return good for evil with 39,000,000 books, maps, pictures and other printed matter. "We ? have some salt of on youth in. us," and our advice to the world to go to work has been savored with that condiment, for we exported 216,000.000 pounds.

Converted the grasshopper swarm. Priscllla Grasshopper felt that she had a mission in life. When she thought it all over she had to admit that It was up to her. She would have - to convert the whole grasshopper tribe.' She was the only Inhabitant ; of, all Hoppertown that did not chew to bacco; " Priscllla shuddered at the thought. Poor, Ignorant , crea tures! They had all been brought up wrong. ' They did so heed a serious minded missionary among them to teach them the error 'of their ways. 'K',; i Priscllla had book borrowed a ' ' j from the family of June bugs next door and had been reading up on the harmful effectc of nicotine. She had discovered that t,here was only one, thing worse than chew ing tobacco and that was smok ing cigarettes. She was glad that all her townspeople .were not ad dicted Tto that terrible hablt Goodness knows, chewing was bad enough. It was terrible for their health and, complexions. .s Besides, it was such a vulgar habit. Pris cllla blushed to think that even the very nicest lady grasshoppers chewed.' Something really ought to be done about it. '' ' , And t so Priscllla , committed a speech all about the evil effects of . chewing . . tobacco and - went around to the various clubs and delivered it,. . : Hi,' Her speech - was- so convincing and her lovely complexion (due to her shunning of the bad habit) sd enticing that even the worst ol4 chewers wereJ moved. "?They ad mitted that they had felt queer pains around their hearts lately, and Priscllla proved conclusively that it was due to the tobacco. ' It was not long before the fright ened f grasshoppers formed "the "O r a s s h o p p e r 's Anti-Tobacco League, and they all signed tbe -pledge never again to chew. . All week long Priscllla worked. and at last late Saturday night she had the name of every Inhabitant of Hoppervllle on her pledge. My. how happy she was! She was just going home, thinking that she had never been so thankful in all her life. It was wonderful to do so much good. She had the promises of all the grasshoppers that they wOuld never again chew. , "What is that peculiar smell?" Priscllla. wondered. It reminded her that they should have had some sort of celebration, a bon fire or something, to mark this wonderful change in" Hoppervllle. Maybe some of the dear young grasshoppers that had helped her in her campaign had thought of It. Priscllla followed her nose to investigate. She was led around back of the barn. There the lovely missionary fainted dead away to discover all 'the younger set of Hoppervllle 'learning to smoke cigarettes. ,".

B. , "BEST IN WORLIV If It Is true that the health of a; nation is comparable to" the quality of its food, then the One hundred and ten million people in the United States constitute the healthiest body of human beings in the world. Jhe food "we eat to day, says W. O. Campbell, acting chief of the bureau of chemistry. United States department of ag riculture, is more free from' harm ful preservatives and other dele terious Ingredients than ever be fore, and no country iif the world so efficiently or carefully inspects the food supply -. of. its people, or protects ' them from consuming through. ignorance, food or drugs of a harmful nature. The American system is an out growth of fifty years of food con trol work culminating In the pas sage of the federal food and drugs act, which under the direction: of the secretary ot, agriculture is en forced by the bureau of chemis try. This 'aw is all inclusive and states that no food or drugs, medi cines or liquors, which are adul terated, mlsbranded, poisonous,, or deleterious shall be manufactured or offered for sale or transporta tion in the United States. . , ; . As a rule, food laws of foreign countries are made with reference to some specific product and each law alms to state all possible con ditions that might arise in regard to the one product in question. That system, which means a vast number-of laws to cover all. possi bilities of adulteration and mis branding of - different food pro ducts, is cumbersome and ineffi cient as compared with that of our own country.; ;;l ,, Under the federal - food and drugs act, which has been . in op eration since 1906, an organiza tion and a system have been built up which enables all parts of the force to co-operate in cleaning up any form of violation, that may be found to exist and ' to attack " the problem in all parts of the United States simultaneoosly or in widely different parts, wherever, the par ticular form of violation may be in evidence. Through the power conferred in the seizure section of the federal law, it is possible by means of concerted actioa t federal, state and1 municipal c;:: clala to seize In widely-separju: ' parts of the country a large number.-of 'shipments of any manatac turer who may be found fa l shippihg In ' interstate commerc foods or drugs adulterated or ml . branded within tbe terms of th -law," This makes It Incumber .i upon 'a manufacturer either t Immediately change his practice so as to bring them into conform lty with law, or' to go our c business. The usual effect is an immediate change for the better. A great amount of food is im ported; into the United States frou foreign . countries to satisfy th tastes of our foreign born popula tion. These foods as well ti others which . are brought in be cause of the supposedly superior value require a great amount t: attention by the food inspected to nrevent the imnortatlon of 'ulterated and v mlsbranded tr-- ducts. In this matter of fool importation the United State: Is much more particular tiaa other countries. No food U accepted I for ; importation lz';i the United ' States if it fai:r to pass the food laws of the coun try from which it comes, and eye . if it does meet with the require ments in that country it must tLj come up to our standards before it is 'admitted. ; , , The merit of our system of foc i and drug law enforcement: is t ing, recognized 1 in some for!a countries.
