PRA15TER: Thou fcreat Shepherd of the sheep, we delight to ac-. knowledge; ourselves the sheep of Thy pastures. j THE COCONUT "A group of manufacturers found that they could extract the butterfat from whole milk and sell it, and then add to the skim milk, some cheap vegetable oil and sell it to poor people as something to take the place of butter. The skim milk gave it a flavor and fragrance,- and the profits were attractive And, ! posing as philanthropists, they carried a great cam paign of advertising.; Many people bought these articles and found that they tasted something like -butter and were much cheaper in price j . But nothing was said about the fact that the all important vitamins A and D were not there. Nothing was said about damaging the dairy industry and retarding the development of the state. j Harping on cheapness, many families were weaned away from dairy products; These families may wonder why their children do not thrive as they should; why they have rickets and sore eyes, and why the doctor has to come so often. Because the margarines are sold for less per pound they have been persuaded to ; believe' that it is economy to drop butter from their dietary. They have not balanced the saving they have made against doctors' bills and loss of vitality by their little ones. They have been deceived by the specious cry of "cheap." ,; Every sale of a pound of margarine displaces a pound of butter. , It is very hard to secure data on olemargarine sales in Oregon, but it is estimated that in 1923 between 2,500,000 and 3,000,000 pounds of margarine were sold here.1 If the dairy industry could have had that business there could have been 12,000 more dairy cows in Oregon. That would have meant many self supporting families in the state to help swell business and help pay taxes j hi And if this oleo were not sold here, millions of dollars would 01 into our banks and to our merchants. Our state would develop more rapidly; and thousands of babies would be health ier, happier and prettier I j i; For a healthy baby is prettier than a sick baby. ? J"V Just as the absence of whole milk and butter in the diet of babies, children andjyouths has stunted their growth, so the freat dairy industry, mercantile establishments the state itself has been stunted. I j L i What will the future be! Will the number of cows in Ore t6n decrease!. Will there be fewer creameries and cheese factor ies and condensaries Jas the, years go by? 1 The dairy business of Oregon is conducted by Oregon citi4 iJns. They suffer when the state suffers. They thrive when f je state thrives.' Their interests are Oregon interests. What Hurts Oregon hurts them, and what hurts them hurts Oregon and all its people. I - The olemargarin business is far flung. Its manufacturers Sre not here, save for one comparatively small factory. They rant to make money,! and they are making it somewhat at our expense. The vegetable oil they are using here is pressed from Idried coconut meat, and their labor is largely done by half civi lized people who do not receive a living wage for a self respect ing American.- No wonder oleomargarine is cheaper than butter. - -j ' r M IP LA FOLLETTE SHOULD WIN j' Even among the super heated radicals, there are very few ,who expect La Follette to be elected. But it is interesting to speculate on what would happen, Jn the event! of the success fit the "Progressive "'movement. That movement is made up of the most diverse elements imaginable. Some forty-seven varie ties and schools of political and economical thought aret repre-jsentedin.it- h ,'!;' j" '.' 7; . ' : j ; ' And all would clamor for immediate recognition, and insist that their particular nostrums be forthwith administered to the 'country with a government spoon. Not since Babel has there been anything like it would be.4- As a circus lit would have Everything' j .J." . L: , : But the price of j admission would break the taxpayers. There 'would be Socialists who want to divide up every thing, and otherwise hasten the millennium; red flag followers who! want the modern Russian system, of "government installed vhere ; I. W. W's clanjoring for one big union ! Opposed by the great mass of organized labor - And followers of Henry George who want all taxes assessed against land, and farmers who would not stand for that ; thti ,foes of the Constitution, and minorities who feel safer under ,the protection of that bill of rights. There would be more nuts, pranks, wheels and bolts than could be used in any machine. ; COMING STRONG -, Wise observers have concluded that beyond a doubt Senator Me 'Nary would lead the ticket in .Oregon this year. His services to f the people have been j such that he, has commended himself to all .classes. Party lines will be broken s in his Interest. His fight for the P.eppIe In the trying days of farm f depression show his sincerity and devotion. It wasn't ja popular I thing to do in Washington. In fact it was very unpopular. He did this as part of his 'Job. As a senator he has been Just as loyal Ho every othert interests and every interest of. the people that de served attention has secured It In the preliminary campaign it was charged against Senator, Mc S Nary that he didn't gelt his share of the appropriations.! He made no reply to these charges, bnt the people replied to themi It is not j the business of a senator to get , appropriations. A senator should ! a tzt:::zan,-and a statesman . . Manager ' . . Kli tor Manager Job Ltapt. . ... . 583 . . . . . 100 Oregon, ae acoad-elaaa matter 14. 102 COW AGAIN should serve the entire nation. A politician would seek to get ap propriations at the expense of service to the government, but a statesman puts service first and takes such ; appropriations as his state needs. Senator McNary has grown fast as a statesman, and the next six years he will be as well known as Borah. ! THE VOTE Four years ago less than 50 per cent of those entitled to vote actually cast a ballot In the presi dential 1. election. ) ; Tie result Is that while the successful candidate had a large majority, of the votes cast he was still a minority presi dent. ,No man j in recent years has received a majority vote of all the people entitled to exercise the franchise. . It will be conceded we have done mighty well with a minority government, but every patriotic citizen should vote. No matter how be votes, he should vote. From'Portnans sent out a bit of poetry which we commend to the voters generally: "You say that taxes are too high, But do you vote? About extravagance you sigh, - But dp you vote? ( : "How long,!' you wail, "must we ' endure ,1 .? This state' of things that keeps us poor?" : . - j : . . r How long? j I do not know, I'm 8ure! --.:J ' j -But do you vote? j "The lights are bad, the streets a mess, ; But do you vote? . .'- Your indignation you express, But do you vote? ' You say that bosses rule the show, That graft is reaching high and ,: lOW, 1- . And, doubtless, all you say Is so. But do you vote? j "You growl at rotten politics, : But do you vote? You howl at bosses and their tricks, I ' But do you vote? Yon say, O Decent Cititen, We've heard you, time and time again, ' We want things run by business men,! t ' ! But, do you vote? 5 "Unless you do (I wonder, do . you?) . :;'; ' ' You've got! just what Is coming to you." ' V I' . "The Woman Citizen." THE BRITISH ELECTION The British empire is in the midst of a tremendously important election. They do not have the long campaign there like we have. They strike' while the iron Is hot. and make their decisions while the people are aroused. The Mac Donald government has never had a fair show.; It hasn't been much of a government. MacDonald was not a diplomat and instead of pla cating the men . who had It in their power to unmake him, he tried to force them to take ser vice under his banner. It wasn't a success, rrney went after him and they got him. There is little likelihood of Mac Donald winning the election. The chances are he will lose it, al though he will make some gains. MacDonald has not proved him self a great; leader. He seems to be a very good man, but Lloyd George and those fellows have put rings around him so fast he couldn't see what was going on. English politics are worse than American. Ours are orderly and our decisions are more deliberate. In England; the campaigns are riotous from start to finish and the issue is decided largely from prejudice, j - THE TREND There Is always a trend fin every campaign. In 1912 Roose velt had everything his own way until the last three weeks before election, when the trend set In to Wilson. This year the trend has set in two or three days early. The election is three weeks from today, yet the last two days every where In the . country reports are made that the trend has set in to wards Coolidge. There is no way of stopping it now. There is very little danger any more of the elec tion going to the house. Coolidge will have a clear majority, and the expected) trouble stands a good chance to be averted. The trouble makers will be very unhappy, but patriotic citizens will breathe a sigh of relief because not only have they i averted trouble but they will have elected a man al most ideal for president. THE DAVENPORT MONUMENT The monument to be erected at Silverton to the memory of Homer Davenport is a fitting recognition of a man who brought fame to his native city. Homer Davenport was a great artist, but he never forgot Silverton. Oregon. It often happens.: however, that communi ties forget their heroes and dis tinguished citizens. In fact it gen erally happens. Very few monu ments are raised where distin guished men are reared. Most of them are in some city or the grave yard where he is buried, but Sil verton .is proposing to erect its monument where the great artist lived. It is a good plan, a plan that ought to be encouraged more. PROHIBITION , IS STRONG That the Volstead act is fast winning its way i8 evident from the declaration of La Follette. He has always been wet. and yet ; he has been forced to declare that if elected president he will enforce the HquOr laws. This is the first time in I his history he has ever concede anything. It shows a tremendous sentiment in favor of prohibition to America. NO LETHARGY Every campaign there Is talk of lethargy. Every campaign a good many people think there is lethar gy, actually think so. This is be- cause up to thls.tiine only about half the people voted. According to this rule every other man you met must be afflicted with lethar gy. Every poll made khows that a number of men j who did not vote four years" I go; are going to vote this year. That is really the most interesting part of the polls lliat are made. I I 1 MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison Pre' Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Copyright by Newspaper Feature Sarvlc i l" CHAPTER" 289 Why Allen Drake fjianged One of Lillian's Plans. 1 ; - : . i ' i Allen Drake crossed the room to me as soon as Lillian had closed the door, shutting2 herself and Katie outside. - j "Which are the lights to be kept burning all night?" he asked. "I'll eee to them now, II you don't mind, and put out all the others." "One in the bathroom, one in the upper hall just outside Mother Graham s room, and the third in the lower front hall." j ' . J "You evidently believe in the advice the reformed hold-up men are handing out concerning the safety in lighted house," he com mented with a smile which- my imagination dubbed, a supercilious one. ;i I 'I I kept my house lighted long be fore I ever read any advice upon the subject," I retorted a bit Btiffly. I j i "Showing that you are an un usually sensible? Ia)y, as I've al ways contended," he rejoined, and I , was surprised :;tof hear sincerity in his tones. "There is no other insurance so sure. Tonight it will work in another direction.' A man like Smith does not fall into the category of ordinary housebreak ers. He will want Uo be assured that everything in the house is following its usual froutine. Any deviation from it would arouse his suspicions. So I'll get those lights straightened out at once. In the meantime " I f f He broke off abruptly, went to each window of the; room and in spected the tightly-drawn cur tains, including the bizarre1 but artistic heavy draperies which Lil lian had designed for : the trying space between the library and its alcove, ; 4 I f 1,1 J'-'-: ' -Allen Drake's Suggestion. : - .t.-?! i i "Come here, please," he said suddenly, and I crossed the room to the alcove, secretly resenting the peremptoriness bf his tone. "Stand just the Way Mrs. Un derwood has planned,' he said, "with your hand upon jthis door." I took the position Lillian had shown me, and for af second or two he studied my attitude, then spoke to my father, who. with his hands behind him was watching us1 from in front of the fire-place, in which. however, there was no tire, as Lil lian had wished no light in the room which we hoped was to prove a trap for the man Smith. "I wish you'd look i this over. Chief," he said, all! thej deference he, has for my father sounding in his voice. - f When my father pad crossed to us Mr. Drake parted jthe heavy draperies and walked to the desk where Lillian had hidden the eye glass case which Smif-h. had left behind him. ' i ., f , K "I'd like to make fais! stunt fool proof if I can," he continued. "It's always well, I think; to! expect the unexpected. Now, Mrf . Graham, please imagine that I Jam Smith. I am opening this: desk drawer under Katie's direction,; when sud denly something -no matter what alarms me, and f ' 1,1 - I ' "We Cannot Risk It." "5 ' ' ' " : ' I: I I Never have I seen So quick a movement as that which AJlen Drake made as he stopped speak ing. He covered almost the dis tance to the alcove, with a single bound, and a second rush would have carried him to(my side had I not anticipated his action. I had watched him narrowly;, however. and as he leaped 1 turned the knob of the door beside me, slipped through to the other? side and peered at him through the . crack in the door which I held ajar. "You 'see?" he demanded of my father. . "Mrs. Graham did that splendidly, yettiiere wasn't a sec ond to spare. It's too narrow a margin." - $ My father's1 faipe wasgrave. ! "You are right, Allen," he ans wered, "and we cannot) risk it." "Think what Lillian is risking!" I flamed. "I can do It easily and I will." ... - I j ( "Of course you shall," Allen Drake's voice was Indulgent, as if he were speaking child, "but with Pardon me." ; ? I to l a spoiled I modifications. i He passed me irr the doorway, and took a quick survey of the small side hall. "Instead of standing on the library side of this door, take your station - this side with the door sfjar," he directed.; VYou'll be able to keep track of 1 Katie just as well, and it will be less danger ous. Don't you thlpk soCfiief ?M . Ha erideritlv had tin Intent Inn nf asking my opinion, and I was houj ly resentful not only on my ac count, but because he was chang ing a plan Lillian had made., Yet I could not help an, Inconsistent little feeling of relief that I was to have the door between me and Smith. I had been able to keep cool and. meet Allen Drake's spec tacular leap with the action Lil lian had planned, but the exper ience had shaken me perceptibly.
