Pegging Minimum Prices fTlHE Carnegie Steel company Monday set a minimum JL price for its steel products publicity in business and financial circles. It marked the attempt of the big steel company, which is a subsidiary of the United States Steel corporation to drive a peg in the sinking prices of major commodities. It represents another effort to drive a stake; that will hold. For months these pegs seem to have been driven in quicksand, they held so feebly. A year ago with considerable dramatization brokers offered 150 for great amounts of U. S. Steel common stock. That afforded a peg which held for many months, but re cently the price broke through 140. At the same time 50 was quoted for a million shares of Standard Oil (New Jer sey) and this week the price was hesitating again around that mark. Wool, copper, wheat, lumber, all have had their peg experiments, but the pegs didn't hold and the price structure kept tumbling and tumbling. The action of the U. S. Steel subsidiary is significant, however, because it is going to be by firm action of some powerful organization tbat a peg will be driven that will hold. Once there is a sign of firm bottom underfoot there will be renewed buying of commodities, and that is what is needed to restore confidence and stimulate business. There are other signs that the deflation of prices has about run its course, although the stock market is still a bear's holiday. "Business Week" in its recent issue re marked : "Tbe commodity markets offer some encouragement this week. Wheat, cotton, copper, cattle, yarn, tire prices hare either advanc ed or maintained last week's levels. Oil, sugar, iron and steel, steel scrap, continue to weaken 'and unsettle conditions. Settlement of the metal workers' strike in Germany, together with reduction of copper prices to 9J,4c Conecticut delivery, the lowest level ever recorded, have induced heavy foreign purchases. Domestic consum ers are fairly well supplied. The international conference of copper producers revives interest in curtailed production as a means of tllevlatlng the burden of over ample stocks. Sugar and coffee gtarkets reflect the uncertainty of activities in Brazil and Cuba, a Jew government opposed to artificial price maintenance In the former,-and in the latter, strenuous efforts to hold sugar from the market to maintain prices. Cotton lias made a remarkable showing la the past week, reaching a level above lie.' What business needs is a little more encouragement from the cheering section. Some yell leader ought to lead the stands in a regular "hold that line" war cry, so that business will not be pushed clear back over its own goal line in disastrous defeat.5 The people are getting roused up and shaking off some of their lethargy. Cynics make fun of these organized efforts to promote better business and say it is like trying to lift yourself with your own bootstraps;. Perhaps so, but if you do not lift yourself by your own bootstraps you will continue to sink in the mud because no one bootstraps or their own either. "Who Won CI E VER AL times during k? Statesman referred to it as with rival dailies fighting for power and prestige and mass circulation and more advertising and more profits. The Baker Democrat-Herald in an the War?" summarizes the as they affect the standing land dailies. The Baker paper "On the winning side the Portland Telegram mad a gain.

Now ft is the acknowledged spokesman of a governor-elect, and soon will be for a governor. That is qaite an advance for two or three years, wheth er yon like the way In which it was achieved or not. The Portland Newt didn't lose anything. It didn't have much to lose. Probably It made a gain, for it was at least on the winning side, a consider ation never to be sneezed at in metropolitan journalism. "The Oregon. Journal was on the winning side, too. but it lost more than any off the others, for it incurred the ill-will of thous ands of its democratic supporters, whoso loyalty helped Sam Jack son establish it and whose 'patronage enabled it to become great. It derives only a little of the credit for the Meier victory, being in fact a journalistic tail on the Telegram kite, for the Telegram fur nished the publicity brains of "the Joseph-Meier movement from its inception. The Journal deserted the grange power bill only a few days before it won an overwhelming victory, a tough break. "The Oregonian was of course the worst beaten of all. Its can didate ran third and its whole philosophy of government was over whelmingly repudiated. Yet oar belief is that the Oregonian comes otti of the icrap in the best position of any of the' four. It stands out as the sole spokesman far conservative thought, -which normally twamands a majority In Oregon. Its sincerity is open to question only in its news statements that Meier was slipping steadily when It mast hare known that he was doing nothing of the kind. How ever, that's politics, and will be overlooked. The- Oregonian 's edi torials were characterised by honesty and courage.

The people complain a lot about legisla tures, but the people are usually themselves responsible. The low ecale-of pay, which doesn't cover actual expenses, either bars the poor man from sitting In the bouse or senate; or else -opens the dor to special Interests which are willing to "contribute" to his support. Either situation is unwholesome.

Today I am go ing to say a few words about vitamin C MUk has al ways boon sponsored as the ideal food for Infanta and growing ; chil dren. Tet we frequently see children : who have received their daily quo ta of milk and do not thrive well. Stteh children a r e anemic and de velop poor teeth. This can be ex plained by the fact that milk is poor in Vitamin C content. The poorly developing child is lack ing a certain vitamin content in his daily diet, and the milk has been solely depended noon for this necessary element. Vitamin c is the element neces sary for the normal growth, and nutrition of the body, it is found in many : foods, but particularly in oranges, lemons, limes and to matoes. Vitamin C is contained in milk, but to a slight degree. The amount of Vitamin C in the milk is variable with the ration of the cow and with the treatment the milk receives before it is sold to the public. Such factors as the feeding of the cow, the storage of the milk, the cooling,' strain ing, pasteurization and particu larly the repast eurization of the milk tend to decrease the amount of Vitamin C. , Give Other Food It Is for this reason that I would advise the giving of sup plementary foods, such as orange juice or tomato juice. Both of these juices are extremely rich in their content of Vitamin C. For this reason they are often spoken of as "antiscorbutic" foods, meaning that they will prevent scurvy. Since milk is not particularly rich In Vitamin C content, and for that matter Is not particular ly hltrh in content of other vita mins, tooi much faith must not be placed in this food. I do not mean to belittle the value of milk, for the infant and grow ing child, but there are other Important elements tbat must be given to insure perfect health and growth. It is the advice of all leading baby specialists that food sub stances rich in vitamins should be introduced in the diet of the infant dnring the nursing per iod. This is true whether breast fed or artificially fed. Your baby in never too young to have an occasional teaspoonful oi orange or tomato juice added to its feeding. Oranges, lemons, limes and tomatoes should always grace your table in some tempt ing form for the older children. Yesterdays ...

And I'm anxious to clear off my loan to Tom with the holiday profits." "Your loan to Tom rats! As if Tom cared about that dab of money." Mary's eyes searched the sweet averted face, opposite and she asked abruptly, "Ardeth, why don't you marry Torn? You care a lot for him." "Enough for marriage. Mary?" "Yes!" said Mary stoutly. "Take two people with good dis positions and good digestions andyou and Tom have both; take the comforts Tom's money can give you and you'll have a happy marriage." "What about love, Mary?"

"Would it be fair to him. Mary?" Mary considered this with a thoughtful face. "Yes. I think if you put that question up to him, he'd say just that. He wants you on any terms, Ardeth." "Mary, you know all the cir cumstances. Do you think it would be right loving Ken the way I do to marry Tom?" .There was a sadness In the hazel eyes which hart the older woman.

This column contained yester day copies of two letters front Narcissa Whitman, from .Waiil atpu, one dated May 28. and the other Feb. i9 and May SO, 1845; the first directed! to Mrs. James Olley and the second to Mrs. David Leslie ' Mrs. Olley and Mrs. Leslie were the same woman. The expla nation is that the widow of Rev. James Olley had been married to Rot. David Leslie. Sarab Adelia Judson was her maiden name. Those given names had been In the Judson family for 300 years. Her first husband was Robert Turkington. He died gome time before the sailing of the Lausanne In 1839. She was married to Rev. James Olley, who was a carpenter as well as a min and thev planned to go .Hh ikm T.ansanne party, that was being made up in New York City, under the direction of Ja son Lee. S But there was a child from the first marriage, and the chUd was ill, and there was a question whether they would be able to join the great reinforcement. The child died a short time before the sailing date. Her brother,, Rct. Lewis H. Judson, with his wife and three children, had made ar rangements to Join the Lausanne party. Rev. Judson was a cabinet maker as well as a minister. Me chanics were desired in the rein forcement. So the families were together when that greatest com pany of missionaries that had ever left any port embarked on November 9, 1839, in the New York harbor, and the Lausanne, the Mayflowe.iv 0f the Tacific, spread her sails 'to the breeze, bound for the vdjage that carried her 53 souls half around the world, to the Oregon- Country,1 to and loyalty and a warm, steady affection they are a lot." "Enough, Mary!" Mary's deep eyes went about the bright, comfortable room. Lingered on the Chickadee's brown head. "A good husband and a child to make a home' for yes, Ardeth, enough1!" The memory of Ken's wretched white face rose before the girl. She shook her head,' her throat hot with unshed tears. "No, Mary not for me." No, not enough. Nothing, was enough save Ken. "I have what a psychologist would call a fixation," she thought wistfully, "and what my mother would call love." No sign or word from Ken. She knew that he was keeping away for her sake. Tbat night of pain when he had come to her . for comfort had sunk out of sight, like a heavy stone cast in a deep lake. Not even a ripple left to tell that It had ever been. So she thpught, ignorant of the wide circle the stone had caused. Nor did she understand, until one day shortly before Christmas when a copy of The Spy was delivered to her desk with the rest of the mall. Ardeth frowned at the- vivid green cover. Not since Jeanette had left, had the scandalous weekly come into the shop, i She was at a loss now, to ac count for Its presence and she was about to drop it, unread, in the waste basket, when a sudden thought sent the color pulsing to her cheeks.

Judson aided in the erection of the first residence in what became Salem, still stand' ing at 9 60 -Broadway. He was one of the original , trustees of the Oregon Institute, which he help ed organixe, at the old mission, January 17. 1842, that by change of name became Willamette uni versity, in 1853. He also aided in erecting: the Institute building on Wallace Prairie, and the Indian manual training school, that be came the Oregon Institute after the -missions were closed. This last named structure, tbat stood near where the university gym nasium stands now, had three stories and was in its time' the largest and finest 'building on the Pacific coast. i "a ' Rev. Judson was one of the or ganizers of the Oregon Provision al government at Champoeg May 2, 1843, and he was elected one of the magistrates under that government. He was at the meet ing of July S,- IS43. at Cham poeg, where the. constitution of the Provisional Government was ratified, and be was the mover of the section that embraced the bill of rights. With W. H. Will son, who platted the main part of Salem, Rev. Judson in 1841 organized the ' company that Im proved the Santlam ditch. givin the. pioneer Industries here better water, power. , The Judsons lived and laborI with, the mission forces at The Falls (Oregon City) a year and a half. In the fall of 1844. Mrs. Judson died. She had been sorely afflicted after the birth of her , so'n 'Robert; occupying an invalid chair. Rev. Judson died in Salem March 3.I18S0. Their descend- ants are numerous. An attempt will be made, later, to Jlst tlieui in this column. Robert Judson was the first white child born in what Is now Salem. I "a From the above, the reader will . understand what Narcissa Whitman meant when she spoke in her letter of 1844 about tlie great affliction of Mrs. Judson. . When she spoke of Sarah Leslie having "flown to her rest," she referred to the passing of either the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Leslie or to the death of the first Mrs. Leslie. There were .thre-? Leslie daughters when they came with the first reinforcement In 1837. Satira, Mary and Sarah. One of these, probably Mary died in the Sandwich Islands, to which she had been taken by their fath er after the death of her mother, to be placed in school. Sarah Leslie had also been taken toth Sandwich Islands to go to school. V Mrs. David Leslie, the first, died February 1, 1841, at the old mission. Two more girls had been born into the Leslie home atth old mission; one of them being named Aurelia the youngest one, the Bits man believes. On December 11, 1842, Rev. James Olley was drowned in tb Willamette river above Salem probably la the'Eola rapids. In company with Richard II.
