The suggestion is passed on for what it is worth; and it will . no doubt be considered by many readers as worth not only j considering but adopting.

It is well worth cultivatincr. for its i direct benefit, to say nothing : many ways. w, - : Two German doctors have discovered the germ of the foot and mouth disease, and a preventive serum is on the way.

In the wonderful Salem district, Bing ahd other standard cher ries netted many growers not more than two or two and a half cents. The same cherries retailed in Milwaukee and other Mid-West.cities at 40 to 50 cents. On a shipment from a Willamette valley, grower to f ivuiwaukee the express charge was $4.95 per 10O pounds; , ' - That is to say, the tribute taken on the way from the, orchard to the final 'consumer in this case was about I ten times what the i . farmer got. ' " , - - ( I .., f Here is one of the blights on agriculture". The farmers have no adequate selling plan. They depend on others to do their selling. Ten times as much of the profit, for those who do the distribution and seeling, is the outcome, and it ia a disastroas outcome for the ' farmers. They get so little out of -and other of the finest cherries in the world dry on the trees. That is. a loss to the farmer and Indirectly a loss to the state and to all the people in it. - j , ' Agriculture's only deliverance is for the people engaged in it to . develop the business end of the industry. It is as vital to the grower to-sell right as it is to plant the right kind of trees, do the right kind of cultivating and produce the right kind of cherries. Selling has come to be the most important thing in every line or activity. Selling is the game to which every enterprise applies its best brains. Many farmers hesitate to join cooperative; selling agencies. In doing so they cling to a selling system that through the centuries has : caused tons of cherries year by year to dry on the trees. .'; 1 J -; ;: ' I- V (The above from the Portland Journal is '.worthy of considera tion. The proof of this is ample in the case of one group of our. Salem district black cherry growers who netted better than 13 cents aSpound for, their fruit; after standing all the high charges of ship ping in cold-storage to the city of New York, f But; there is another thug the editor of the Portland Journal (that paper being Demo cratic) will probably soft pedal, and that is the fact that the growers of oar white cherries o( the Napoleon or Royal Ann.. type, will have to get a higher tariff rate fori the:r protection than the present two cents a pound, if -they are torbei,ertain of -uniformly -remunerative " r .prices.

Journal of July 19.) the world have dried oh the trees growers found they couldn't get their cherries that tons of Bings about the surprise of some visitors at the industries of Oregon. Of course the visitors did not notice that these industries belong to the man-ape propaganda in St. Helens. In fact they.do not exist. Hut as suming that they do exist, which is a neighborly thing to do, the Oregonian deposes as; follows: i "Oregon's Industries have been i ' . developed along with its scenery and progress Jnlhe.prMluetio rr trT raw materials has been consistent. It was revealed to visiting buyers of the Pacific cvast in a Beries of inspection trips yesterday. ' Uni formly, the members of the West ern Purchasing Agents' associa tion from four states, in Portland for the pecond day of their con vention, expressed surprise at rc cent manufacturing and develop-t ment projects. ''? '.' 'Not even the people of Port land realize the extent and value of the development of Oregon's natural resources, to say nothing of the people of theother states of the coast, including California. said James J. Byrnes of the south ern j California association, who voiced the enthusiasm of the dele gation from Los Angeles. j "The production of wool goods, lumber, paper, and iron and steel goods has been explained In! de tail to the purchasing agents who represent the largest companies in the states of California, Washing ton, Utah, and Oregon. In the case of every visit delegates have expressed surprise, which has been strengthened by a representative exhibit of Oregon-made goods at the headquarters of the conven tion at the Multnomah hotel, j "That the convention has done more to bring a realization of the possibilities for the sale of Oregon goods in othe"r parts of the coast than any other one agency, was the expression of a group of repre sentative buyers of southern Cali fornia. The first opportunity for the meeting of Oregon manufac turers and buyers from other states, the sessions are thought to have pointed the way to increased trade along the coast." KAXKKIW All) FAIIMKKS At Corvallis on Friday there was a conference of unusual im portance. It was between the rep resentatives of the farmers; and the representatives of the bankers. It promises to be fruitful. 5 I j What the farmers need is credit, and counsel in that credit! !a banker who merely hands a patron the cash in exchange for a j note is performing his duty as a money banker, but he is not performing his duty as a fellow citizen.; The banks are beginning ta under stand the importance of counsel, and the farmers appreciate it also. A business man in town does not hesitate to counsel' with hi3 back er on any venture, and the farjm ers should do the same thing. When a banker loans a patron money they become in a sense partners. The bankers get in terest as his part of tho partner ship. The patron or borrower gets whatever the money makes above a certain per cent. It is a mutual arrangement and mutually im portant. , We look for much good to come fronr this plan of service on the pari of the banks in cooperation with the farmers. . NOT L THE CARDS Senator Ladd of North Dakota declares he is still - a republican but! will support La Follette. It cannot be done. La Follette has gone outside of the republican party. He has bolted just as ef fectually as if he had just walked out of the republican convention. He has been for 20 years the re cipient of honors at the hands of the republican party from which he has" now bolted. Senator Ladd in supporting La Follette must go outside of the republican party. TJiere is no such thing as a: La Follette republican. La Follette is fighting the republicans, al though he is the recipient of their bread and butter. The campaign' in Oregon mast be conducted upon the lines that the republican party is right and that is the' people's hone. Anv tning less than this, any trim ming means to let down the bars. No republican-has anybusiness to apologize for his party or plead fof an opportunity to rbfornv it. The republican party is always re forming. It is always progressing. The way to get things done in Arirerica is via party organixation. It is impossible to be a republi can and support La Follette at the same time. i WHEAT -IS UP A dollar " and tweity-fivo-ent wheat has reached .Oregon and the trend is steadily upward. At the price of wheat at present there is; a profit in its growing. Un happily a good deal of 1t is in the bands of traders, but we are sure that many farmers of the thriftier aort i still own their -wheat. At any rate, the crop this year will b marketed at least 50 cents a bushel higher , than the same period last yeah It is time for tho farmers to take hope," to renew their courage. Spit on their hands and ; resolve o dig out at all hazards. They have done this before. They will do it now. The American farmers are the bravest and most adven- uresome men on eartlu They complain, but they, never cease to fightr - -.- ; .: While the farmers were trying vainly to get help from the gov ernment they were not even charg ed with sitting down and waiting for something to be done for them. They worked every day and managed carefully. Great is the American farmer. SHOULD BE WELCOMED The Oregon Statesman is dis appointed that no effort-has been made to formally: welcome Sena tor McNary' and Representative Hawlcy home., j Senator McNary has. been es pecially conspicuous in fighting for the. interests of the common peo ple. He has never tired in his efforts to secure favorable legis lation.! He is our most distin guished citizen, and as such we should honor him as neighbors. Representative Hawley has been a long; time in congress. He- has won' honorable distinction and his homecoming should be1 welcomed. ! In addition to this the occa sion could be advantageously used as a ratification for Coolidge and Dawes.- Our J people feel very unanimously that the republican ticket this year,. from the national down ;tp the county, is the best ever put out. j SUNDAY IS RIGHT Billy Sunday, with his charac teristic candor and fearlessness. takes a rap at non-conformists. He says what; the Oregon States man has frequently said, that the preacher who-can not preach in harmony with his church has no business taking people's money to proselyte. We have always argued that this is theologically dishonest. It is almost personally dishonest. The man who does not believe in the doctrines of the church has no business preaching, because he must I expound those doctrines. There is a difference between a preacher and an attorney and this must be emphasized constantly. A preacher wears the. livery of heav en on bis soul and he should be orthodox in his preaching and in his belief also. ' MORE POWER After four years of effort the, government has been persuaded to allow' some huge power dams to be made on Klamath river. The stupendousnrss of this undertak ing probably hindered it somewhat yet it is entirely practical. There is enough water in the Klamath river to meet all purposes if it' is properly conserved, and its de velopment means a new life for southeastern ! Oregon. The land there cannot be surpassed in rich ness,: and with proper power .' it can be irrigated and farmed in such a way that it will rival the Imperial valley of California. BooK Review By VEEA BKADT SHIP MAX "POLYANNA OF THE ORANGE BLOSSOMS, by Harriet Loom is; Smith, published by the Page Company, Boston. Price $2.00. Upon the death of Eleanor H Porter, the creator of Pollyanna the little girl who always played the GLAD game, and her sequel of the girl grown up, the charac ter was taken over by its present writer who has - written a - very pretty story tof Pollyanna the Glad girl as a newly married lady, with her ! housewifely troubles, the burned dinner, the quarreling neighbors, the Christmas tree for the laundress which: didn't pan out,' and the thousand and one trifles which seem like mountains to a bride. I The romance is the beantful culmination of Poliyan na reared to be almost a "Lady's Aider," and Jimmy, the little boy whom Pollyanna found by the wayside and- managed to get adop ted ; by Mr. James Pendleton, her favorite godfather batchelor who lived in the; big house on the hill Incidents of the story are real with the flavor of love and now developments of world-od prob lems. The coming of the war, Jimmy's- enlistment and .Pollyan na's return to Aunt Pplly in Ver mont, a year of waiting and Jim my: returns to Pollyanna and his new son. iThe story is sweet and full of heart interest.; It is indeed a dif ficult task to undertakethe carry on a distinct character as Polly anna. It is almost as difficult as though j; someone decided to write more about Peter Pan, were Barrie's pen too suddenly grow weary. j .

The governor indicated his belief that the general; "obser vance of such a day is valuable and that the country must keep prepared for its own defense. He had previously named a general committee to plan for observance of the day in Oregon In ;accord ance wllh the governments wish I for a mobilization of the regular aimy,1 national guards and: organ ized reserve. "Against whom are we to arm? Against whom are we tofdefend oureslves?' writes the governor o( an eastern state, who requests that his name be withheld by Gov tvrnor Pierce, and who urges that Oregon have nothing to do with the demonstration but instead or ganize a' pacifist demonstration. "I am in no sense a militarist," says Governor Pierce in his reply, "but I do believe In being pre pared for defensive war. Danger of attack cannot be allayed by the methods of, the pacifists." i TOST M FOR BETTER I GOVERNMENT . "-I " ' . M - Uiider the above caption Sena tor fred J. Tooze, in the Oregon City I Courier makes this strong pronouncement against pre-elec-tlon.bf a speaker of the next legis lature: ' OSe of the great political needs f Oregon is to change the method of ejecting the president of the statef senate and the speaker of the house of representatives. The spectacle of some individu al wfiose service to the state con sists! chiefly of boosting himself intol position of political In fluence or personal popularity by offers to dispense committee positions for . pledges of votes is one of the disgusting things com mon! to the organization of both branches of the state legislature.' By this method of swapping po sitions for votes' many of the more conscientious of the members who wau the best men for the heads of tie legislative branches of the government and will not pledge thediselves are punished by the successful plotter for Ithe highest position by being placed on "jok er" committees, This method of procedure was carried outs at , the organization of the last legisla ture and is likely to be repeated at very session until the voters awaken from tjieir present slumber andvote for a change in the pres ent flaw. . Under tho present custom many of the most efficient men in both branches of the legislature are placed upon committees for which they are least or not at all adapt ed,; and render quality of servce way below their ability to render AnT another result is that ani mosities are thus engendered that crop out detrimentally to the work of the session. Candidates too often "sign up" for some self soliciting politician under the assurance that such ac quiescence will be essental to their welfare and in order to "get; in" on coTnmttees. The welfare of the state in placing each- man where he can be of the greatest .service is a podr second under the present custom. i '.' the grange In Marion county is the first organization to openly combat this evil. A well-laid plan to harass the governor is claimed in the "sign-up" for speaker of the next house, hence action by the agricultural folk of the "Capi tol" county. Other organizations may follow this lead, and the re sults will be both interesting and instructive. i ' ," Meanwhile steps should: be taken to elect the speaker of the house and the president of the senate by popular vote. The legis lature itself Should pave the way. LINCOLN PLAY IS . CHAUTAUQUA FEATURE (Continued from page 1) inferior passages. These, though. are few. ' - , - - ' - What an interview with ; Mr. Martin (Abraham Lincoln) reveal ed late yesterday afternoon at the Argo hotel is interesting: Be hind the scenes Jack Martin, who plays the part of Lincoln, is the kind of a man that one would want to play the part of the 'Great Commoner." He hasn't the features or the physical build of Lincoln but he moves in an at mosphere of simplicity,' of calm. and of sincerity. One is! satisfied to leave the imitation of Lincoln's J physical appearance to the art of stage makeup because this j man gives us a satisfying picture of the spirit of Lincoln. Likes to Vlay Lincoln ' There was a look in iiis eyes when he talked that must j very nearly resembled the look in the eyes of the great president in his moments of- determination and great service when Martin said. Of course 1 like to play Lincoln. It is an inspiration. 1 can feel that I am doing something tre mendously worth while." This man who daily pictures the life -of Lincolnwas born in Ken tucky, Lincoln's native state. He left high school to follow the stage. He is not a graduate of a dramatic school but worked his way up to his present position through stock companies, his first part the humble role of an old negro. He first took the part of Lincoln In Kettering's play two years ago when it played on the Standard Chautauqua circuit and moved with-the play to the Ellison-White stage when Day again v.ndertook the production of the play. Indian tiller tlrarri While the country's gre:4te: American, Lincoln, took the even ing lead, the country's original American, the Indian, had the floor for the afternoon.; And Nipo Strongheart had a message. Emerging from Iiis te pee in full tribal regalia, he stood before a good-sized -audience yes terday afternoon to build his logi cal plea for the,pasSfng American Indian, .y ' f ' . kS. I "My purpose. " he said early in his address, entitled. "From Peace Pipe to War Trail., "Is to give you understanding of my people." The first part of the afternoon was given over to a ;cdmparative pre sentation of thef religious of the white and the red man. Of his own religion. Mr; Strongheart said in. bringing out the point that,, to the Indian, God Is! omnipresent, "We. see Him everyday which ever way we go. We see Him in one way; you in another. ; He Approached ridicule in his candid consideration of various of the w lite people's! multitude of religio is. j But nowhere did his words cut. They only stung. As a furtlier point in the1 religion of the Indian,1 Mr. Strongheart em phasized his people's fundamental apprec ation of everything God has m; de. ! In this connection he calls attention to the irreproach able respect with which the Indian regards the womanhood of his kind.: , j p. "f; l;now; God . is greater than I." hebaidj ''When I look at this flower I. know that I could not have.made it with iny bare hand." ; 1'athoM Enters Address Pathos came into the voice of the, j hereditary chief of the Yak ima ndians, when lie. began, speak ing jofj his fast passing race which was, qne jtime "numerous like trees In a forest j. . . and now J only a handful." Mr. Strongheart estimated the present Indian population to be something likej. 25,000. . 1 He protested at some length the preterit methods of" defrauding the Indiad. He spoke with little less than resentment ebneerning some praictibes exercised on the reser vations which afford the Indian, as a Whole, a very unsatisfactory lifet Yet, Strongheart never once criticized the government.
