It revived the ' old; story that i the original price was forced by the politic ians.' i :..Tne fluctuations,- of course, in dicate ' manipulation of gamblers, but the European market .has lhe major share to do with ' it." The last report of the -bureau of for eign ; and domestic : commerce shows that for the week ending March 21 2,036,000 bushels of American wheat : were exported from the United States and that an. additional 2.005,000 bushels of Canadian grain shipped in transit also cleared . from parts of that country. - r-V" .; j ., From Pacific ports only 57,000 bushels of ! wheat' went out in the week ending March il, but ex ports of flour totaled 4 4 ,7 0 0 barrels.' ,.Jt; . . . ' There Is a suspicion out that a good many of these gamblers reside in Europe,7 and they have been deliberately playing the mar ket in hopes of bearing down prices. Herbert Hoover has been very adroit in investigating such things and we wish he would get after this situation. Certainly nothing has happened in America to cause this downward trend and these big fluctuations. The little Am erican gamblers could do would not affect the market because the in creased prices are based so largely on the European demand. It is to the national interest that our farm producers shall receive the best possible prices for their exportable surplus, and it is the duty of the government, as far as possible, to help them secure just prices,': Here appears to be a sit uation where a considerable num ber of 'unnecessary middle men, rendering no valuable service to industry or th'eir; country, -are act ing as compliant tools to foreign buyers to run down the price of American products for the benefit of foreign speculators . and con sumers. ". ' . JfOT SO BAD ' Some one has been saying that Oregon had freak legislation.: In fact that has been hurled at ; the state thousands of times by irre sponsible people. It is not true, of course, Oregon has about as sane " legislation as ; any state in the union. It was quick to adopt progressive ideas in the past, and LENTEN TALKS by Rev.

' , ONE turns to these words of comfort and reassurance ia times ?f sorrow, bereavement, disappointment and trouble. Here are hope and assurance that become an anchor to the soul. Jesns does not say, -Let not your head be troubled." There will ever be. difficulties to overcome, problems that' seem impossible of solution,, troubles that perplex and annoy. Many times we must own we do not know what to do. But trouble is to be kept in the head .where it be longs and not allowed to get into the heart where is becomes doubt. For when the heart is troubled, then. doubt arises.- Thomas ought to have remembered that. He wanted to believe, and his heart yearned, but it was full of trouble. Faith is the most powerful thing in the world. It is the best foundation for peace.. If we walk with Him, He Is the Way. If we believe Him, He is the Truth. If we lire for Him. He is the Life. All this may seem somewhat mystical to the man who has not learned the secret of faith, bat to the man who has come to know Christ, faith becomes a mighty dynamic to life, and a solvent for every difficult problem. The best of it is, that the man of faith is not let to his own unaided deviees. The JHoly Spirit, the Comforter, is sent to dwell within him and manifest the divine life in his heart.- ... . 1. - Let not your heart be troubled: ' you believe in God, believe also in me. . . . . 1 . ; . 2. - In my Father's house are; many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you.

A GOOD BED Senator Ed W. Miller of Grants Pass happens to be a hotel keeper, but he is considerable of a philos opher, also. In an Interview in Portland yesterday he. declared that the great need of the hotel business of this country is good beds. He Is right about this. 'People can put up with poor food and poor accommodations of almost any kind rather than poor beds. A man goes to bed to Test. If ever he is to have cpmfort'it is then. . He' cannot be comfort able and sleep uncomfortably, and if he sleeps intermittently he wakes in the morning so sore and stiff that he is mighty, apt to blame' it, on the town. ; ; ' 7 Nearly every sta!te has laws reg ulating the length of sheets and guilts on hotel beds, and it is right. Until these ' laws; were enacted practically" all ' hote bed sheets wero too short. Food Is Import ant, but-a man can eat bad food and, get away with it, but he can hot have a bad bed and admire the:town.
