NEIGHBORLY HELPFULNESS vrawiwa ouE land of diversity, oub! country i OF OPPORTUinTY This year for the first time there has been an expression -of neighborly helpfulness towards the migrant workers. Salem has flt for some : time that it was not fair to avail itself of the serv ices of these people and not do any thing for them. We must have the migrant work ers, it would ' be , absolutely im possible for us to gather any of our crops without them. We plant berries and fruit of all kinds and hops with a full reliance upon these people to come here and do the harvesting; We do not have work for them the year round. We only have seasonal- work. This week they will move off to other fields. They have had the most pleasant stay here that they ever had and our people have done their best to make it pleasant for them. Especially have the own- they will get a liberal education in' regard to our beloved Oregon. ABOUT I1IET It looked like some real inform ation when we picked up the little pamphlet. "Old and; New Ideas of Diet" by Phillip B. Hawk, P.H.D.. director Food Research Labora tory, Powder Point School, Dux bury, Massachusetts and we ex- peCtod some intersting inform ation telling us of hew things. Judge of our disappointment when couched in with a lot of valuable information there waif . written a specious plea for oleomargarine. The people 1 of I Oregon, and Washington for that' matter, for in -'both states the issue is acute, must watch out for these blind propaganda stunts calculated to deceive the people into voting against the dairy Interests of the state. The people of Oregon must awake to the seriousness of the situation and organize thoroughly to , prevent this insidious propag anda from poisoning the minds of the people to such an extent that they will vote for oleomargarine and against the material interests of fthemselves and neighbors.

WELCOME MR. BRYAN William Jennings Bryan who speaks here today is America's greatest unofficial citizen. He Is getting old now, but, 28 years he has been in the fore-front of ef ery political battle. It is not necessary to endorse the politics of the man to give due credit to his public service. He has work ed continuously for better citizen ship, for higher stap4ards in his party and the democratic party owes a lot to Mr. Bryan for the respectfully it has obtained. Sa lem Is right glad to have Mr. Bryan oday. It will give him a food audience even if, it does not vote his ticket. 1 UNFAVORABLE ! ADVERTISING THE SURPRISE THAT AWAIT ED MADGE AT HOME Nervously shaken and mentally perplexed, I drove home from the Shelter Island ferry where Harry Underwood had bidden me so strange a farewell. I wondered whether he had told me the whole truth about himself. his relations with! Grace Draper and his position in the gang of which he spoke so flippantly and yet so convincingly. . I puzzled over some points in his story, but the confidence my father placed in him caused me to dismiss them as of no importance. And yet back came point after point of Harry Underwood's story chal lenging my belief. - : une instant I felt that I was too credulous. The next I pon dered the possibility that I was too suspicious. Curiously enough, every mile of the distance I put between my self and Harry Underwood's pow erful, almost hypnotic personality increased instead of lessened my conviction of the essential truth of his story.' And. despite my re sentment, I found myself genu inely glad that his strength and his infinite resourcefulness were to be pitted against Grace Dra per's Ingenious deviltry. "Are Our Guests Gone?" I put my hand up to my blouse in which I mechanically had fast ened the scarab pin which Mr. Un derwood so dramatically twisted from his tie and put into my hand. That I must devise some safe and secret place for its keeping, close to my person, I knew, but Ivwas not equal just now to any connect ed thought, upon that subject. Yet I realized that I could not return home until it was out of sight. from a i R. Cat be.

People are giving their opinion that Loeb and Leopold should have been hung for the murder that they committed, and that the decision of Judge John R. Caver ly was nothing more or! less: than a miscarriage of justice, and at the same time many of those opin ions come from persons who ! have not qualified as being other; than murderers themselves, (by Christ crucifixion.) j Leopold and Loeb are murder ers and they must suffer and pay the penalty eventually, for the crime that they committed, but if we as a people execute Leopold and Loeb then we as a people are jointly murderers and j we must eventually pay the penalty. From the Oregonian of Septem ber 15, the following is taken: Faith in Judge Lost,! Says Pas tor."

PURDY. ' my "emergency envelope," a small one of strong manila. which I fas hioned myself, and which contains my motor register, a personal identification card and a 5 bill. I; stuck the scarab into the card. rust both into the envelope, and returned it to the bag, sure that was reasonably safe from dis covery. Then, for the rest of my journey I mentally went over the tale the pretended Don Ramon had devised for the edification of the Smythe-Hopkins family, until I was sure that L was letter-per feet in it. i But when I reached home I found that I had no need to re hearse it. The : damaged cars had been removed from the road way before the gate, and Lillian met" me at the door, with eyes, which in spite of her iron poise. told me that something unusual was, on foot. "Are our guests gone?" I ask ed surprised.; J Then You Know?" "Very much so,", she retorted, "They would have liked to have lingered till you! came back with the latest news lot their adored Don Ramon, but) I had something more Important on hand. So as soon as Dr. Pettit pronounced them all "uninjured, I packed them off with a flea in the far ther's ear. I'll bet he wont' offer money for hospitality to gentle folk again. Besides, that - girl; crude as she It. took the news ra ther hard and I knew she wanted to get home by herself. Harry's certainly keeping up the pace, fas cinating a flapper in a get-up like his." I stared at her aghast. "Then you -know?"- I stam mered. ? fi She gave a jangled little laugh. ana l knew that she was more moved than her careless speech denoted, "Not being quite an Idiot, of course I know. she ; returned. "Here. I don't! mean that,"' she amended, as she saw me flush. You were quite right in attempt ing to keep the knowledge of his identity . from me. I would have done exactly the same thing my self if our positions were reversed. But you were so anxious that I stay inside -the house, I was sure something was up. "Then," she smiled, "when Mo ther Graham recognized the fam ily, and told me of your encounter with them in the Easthampton shop, I began to see a light. The description fitted Harry perfectly. I consider that statement,-made in a pulpit, sanctified to the ser vice of God by a man) who pro fesses to be called of God. to preach the gospel as Dr. Pence professes, outrageous. The first sermon Dr. Pence should now preach 'should be taken from II Timothy 2-4. "No man that war- retb entangieth himself with the affairs of this life that he may I BITS FOR BREAKFAST I .
