Arid the task was consummated last night, with a check in full to wipe the slate clean, j ; ; What was not realized from the sale of tickets to the St. Valentine dance, and the concessions of the dance, was made up by. members of the American Legion j" ; So the monument is clearof debt. That is a fine thing. The undertaking was a gracious act. It will endear 1 the American Legion to " Marion county people. The soldier monument will have a grander appearance this morning It owes no man any thing. i . ! . -. . ; FIVE DOLLAR APPLES (Portland Telegram) ".-," , , T A box" of extra fancy. Winesap apples grown at Yakima was sold at a retail grpcerylri New York City for $5. A carefnl analysis of ihis pricetb the consumer was made with tht .following-result : :The grower got ti.18 ; J trie retailer ,$1.87; the jobber 49 cents; the porting organization 80 cents 27j:eats.yj; . ''M ;' i r-.y--y. ;' i :- '?v;-K.-:.:.--' : It an equitable distribution of receipts on; this box of apples - were made,.;- the retailer would be the first of the crrnm to be asked to Drove his rieht to the lion's share. If he received as much as $1 for his share in the deal it would fecm abundant. Let him give the apple grower the 87 cents, and this would give the man who produced the apples $2 a box, which all who know the cost of growing ' apples would agree was little enough.-, I ' : In this distribution the apple grower believes he can cut out the jobber entirely. Possibly this can j be done. If bo it will add 49 cents to the grower's receipts, and give .him nearly $2.50 a box for his fruits-At this rate apples Could be grown at a profit. j t But it may be argued I "It is the retailer who has done the work of finding the man willing to pay $5 for a box of apples, 'v He is the salesman, the one without whom the lrade in apples would fail." And to this the reply can be 1 jnade. '"If it were not for the fact that fruit at retail fruit stands and in retail stores is held too high; there would be a much larger consumption of fruit and a much better demand 3Tor it." When apple men can make a standard product and set a nrice to the consumer on their own goods, they may be able to make a better distribution of the money paid for a box of apples. f ' ' The above from the Portland Telegram presupposes complete, 100 per cent organization. . Until that can be had, all the people downthe line who take rake-off s will be neces sary ; and. the retailer among should be an adjustment clear down the line. The grower is not getting his share. N Each one of the others is taking too much of a rake-off. BILL IS YELLOW, r , From Doorn, Holland, comes a hoarse note of warning ;for the civilized world. The years ago he prophesied the ; light of what is taking place approaching. Unkind people might retort the chief "yellow" peril for Wilhelm was hidden along his own backbone and manifested itself on the inglorious day when he made a safety first exit t across the Dutch border. But that is neither here nor there. He who fights and runs away epigrams for international diplomats. : And Wilhelm has just delivered himself of something . : France Is backing the wearer of the shining sword. "and America and England are Germany stand?" ; ' : lt it be true that on the roulette board of the world ! Lladam France is playing her counters on the black, that ; Comrade Russia is risking his pile on the yellow and Uncle I Sam and John Bull are alone betting systematically, on the ,vhitc, a sporting jfriend at the writer's elbow wishes to ' tip Frau Gcrmania, before the ball stops rolling, to stake her with the lastnamcd two rcspcv.w..w uw.mva Editor Manager Jb Dept. erdited l iaia paper and alao tha local ti SM 100 Society Editor 583 Oregon, at eeeead-clesa matter hat shut thy door, f pray to thy father which seeth in secret shall and love, we bless Thee for the of us, and which unlocks for us 1 wholesaler 39 cents; the trans and the shipping .organization . " i the most important. L There SEES YELLOW ex-Kaiser rises to remark that "Yellow Peril" and now, in the in China, he sees its fulfillment ! . : feay.yet live to frame clever rather smart. I;, : : j black races," says the one-time "Russia is backing the yellow, backing the white. Where will 1 ' Because it is a safe bunch that, as long as they, back the white, the white will be fortune's favorite. At the same time, since the late "All Highness" has failed to establish at any time a reputation for foresight, his belated revival of the "Yellow rank even among the minor color blind. Because, if Russia were seriously to hook up with the millions of China, the yellow, but "Red." : r I Moreover, Wilhelm himself did quite a little color-changing in 1914 when he broke up the whites into warring fac tions and so made the world safer for the blacks and yellows and reds. The voice from Doorn, in its last utterance, has a doleful sound; but to fall from a tall throne to a small back yard is not conducive of an optimistic perspective. A WARXIXG It Is a fact that our forests are being depleted. Congressman Darey has sounded a new alarm He says It cot only means the de struction of the' forests, but it means the disappearance of ? the top, soil which is the basis of ag ricultural wealth. : He figures that It takes ten thousand' rears for nature to build as inch of fertile top soil. We talk a good deal about re forestation and in some instances It Is working, but we are not do ing enough of it. We must take aggressive and positive steps to see that the forests are not only replenished, but that the young trees are protested. , The most effective and econo mical way to begin reforestation is to preserve the young growth remaining on cut-over lands after the commercial timber is taken off. To talk about - reforesting these vast areas from seed is dis heartening to one who notes the prevailing jack of interest in the remaining- growth. The methods of taking timber from privately owned lands are wasteful and de structive of this younz growth. Much of it is knocked down in log ging operations, and a great part of the - growth left remaining Is later burned when fire gets Into the slashings left by the loggers. , No discernible progress will be made toward reforestation until congress passes a law regulating the cutting of timber on privately owned lands, wh a view to , prer serving the young treea of 10, 20, 30 or. even 40 years of growth. IT WAS EXPENSIVE lit closing up the books of the government's 'operation of the rail roads, the startiinr cost of that procedure is made apparent. In addition to the large' fund It will be Impossible to calculate what the public suffered '. In , impaired morale, both among the employes and the management of the rail roads. It was a costly venture, and one the people will ; not get through paying for for some time. The final net cost to the tax payers Is officially placed at $1, 674,500,000. That is the cost that can be definitely expressed in dol lars; but no one can measure the indirect losses the untabulated penalties, that the public has been required to pay for its venture in government operation. f I Higher freight . ratee resulted from inefficiency, easy working conditions exacted by the employ ees, strikes and the demoraliza tion inevitable from constant and acrimonious negotiatians, investi gations, arbitrations and what not between government boards and the various organizations of rail way employes. HELPIXG VALE It may not be good business, judged by the old standards of business, for the ' state to spend mnntv at Vnla ttnt indroii i w til A modern sUnda'rds of business, the standards that have prevailed since the service clubs have soft ened all business and taken away the selfishness, it was eminently right. It is also right for the na tional government tosend aid to Vale. : Here Is an emergency and the government ought to look, after such things. It Is the business of government to carry out the de sires of the people. There is prob ably not a citizen n Oregon who would object to helping. Vale when they know the need.f The fact is that we are (wming;to, have the government be- a helpful instru ment rather than merely a dead! agent used for certain things.! BE FAIR We' heard a group of men at the state house the other day dis cussing railroad .receiverships. They declared that, the govern ment was always, wrong if it In terfered to prevent receiverships ; that - it was not' the business of government; that the railroads should be allowed to go on the rocks and take care of themselves. At least one of these ' men had just got through voting to furnish seed wheat to the farmers of east ern Oregon. I He Justified it on the ground that It was his -people. 4:-"wr' Peril" hardly entitles him to prophets. - At any rate, he is resultant peril would not be ' It ls true that the banks might have j financed the eastern Oregon deal, but it is also true for reas ons of their own which the public can properly accept; they were not in a position to do it without put ting I something behind it more than the intangible credit warran tee. j The officers of- Jtwtnks are responsible . first to their stock holders and they can : not make loans , where the security ; is not ample. Banks which do this do not last long. We see no1 reason to criticize the banks because they did not see fit to finance this, but we do see good 'reason why, hav ing failed to finance iC the state of Oregon should furnish the seed. The need In eastern Oregon Is an unusual need. It - is urgent be cause of the frowning face of na ture j through six or ; seven years of misfortune. - Of course the fin ancial distress of the railroad dis cussion 'which is now before the public is primarily due to bad judgment, but that road is a pub lic utility, a public necessity, and its collapse, means not only loss to the stockholders which should be the. concern of the government but it means also a loss to every patron of the road. ! GOOD-BYE, DOCTOR Dr. Blaine E. Klrkpatrick preached his ' farewell sermon Sunday at the First Methodist church and will leave shortly to take) up the work of secretary of the Epworth League In Chicago. I In the four and a half years he has been, in the ministry, here Dr.. Kirkpa trick has made a .place for himself that Is of the highest Im portance. He is never spectacu lar, never unduly emotional, 'al ways common sense and logical. He has heart 4n his' preaching as well as ; brains, and' his ministry here; has been wonderfully suc cessful. There would be a general protest against his going both . In-. side and outside the church but for. the fact that he is' going to a larger field where his talents can reap; richer rewards.; Certainly all bis friends here wish him God T"Md and success in the - enlarged field, - ; :;- " - ; ' ' ; : SEX. DENNIS SELLS PAPER Bruce Dennis has sold the bal ance jot his paper, the La Grande Observer, to his partner, Frank B.

Senator Dennis is a ! newspaperman ; of marked ability, a forceful writer, a man of positive convictions, many times wrong but always honest. - He is a good citizen and means to do whatj is'right.: It Is to be hoped that he will be able jto find another newspaper In Oregon because the state needs him. : It would never do. to have every editor la the state progres sive, f And then again ' If Bruce stays; out of the newspaper busi ness, Claude Ingalls will be lone some.
