The sales! do not mean that the security back of the bond is impaired; or that people are 'tA" rWr will nnt be! redeemed. Instead they show that the government bond market is with the low interest bonds. -This may serve as an answer to tnose who ioox compla cently on the government's financial dilemma and think it i W tn hftlance the budiret by emissions of government bonds'. iThat is the road which many them in the quagmire of national insolvency. I The oaly sound; ways of balancing our budget are to spend lesa and tax more. Both cures will doubtless be needed. Pres. Hoover is pressing hard for economies in ther ordinary expenditures of the government, and with real success. There is danerer that under the guise of "employment relief" many interests and communities will rush to congress, hat-in-hand, seeking large government appropriations for public works of doubtful value. This would quickly moreJtnan sap up we minor savings in administrative costs, s -rt I We can increase the taxes, soaking the men with big in comes, the "higher brackets" as they are commonly called. In .1929 there were 26 who had incomes of over $5,000,000. They surely can afford to pay heavy taxes. However if all the 26 gave all their incomes to the government that wouldn't bal ance the budget. Tax increases will have to reach ; farther down the linethan just the top crust, and 1931 isn't 1929 even for the business coons. Small Colleges Gain YEARLY reoorts indicate that Hl sity and state college are either, about the same as la3t year or somewhat under the figures previously attained. It is always difficult to; make exact comparisons until the stu dents are all registered. The smaller colleges of the state, so far as reported, show) increased registrations. This is true of Willamette, which fias the largest registration in its history, of Albany college, of Pacific university. The shift is not sur prising. The state schools were the subject of much adverse publicity la3t spring and summer. Their budgets were trim med, their courses were long uncertain. Moreover they didn't advertise, issued tbeir catalogs very late. Apparently no ef fort was made to get students other than football players. j Well, it" will not hurt to fill up some of the small col leges of the staterTheir work is of a higher quality than the larger schools, the cost of living at the small college is usual ly less, and they provide an atmosphere of culture in the cit- les where they are located wmcn serves to amuse greaxiy benefits of these institutions of higher education.

', The city of Portland got no-bidders on $200,000 of bonds offer ed with m 4 Interest coupon. Buyers were not Interested. The point of local significance is that the Baar and Cunningham report setting up a financing plan for ''mountain" water was computed on a basis of issuing $3,600,000 city bonds at 4' per cent. Experienced bond men expressed the opinion that there would have, been no takers of suchv aa issue. When the proposed amendment was offered In the city council the rate was moved up to five percent. But one-half per .... .. . ai mfillAnn amounts to 112. S00 . no lnconsider- aVe sum in a business no larger than the loeal water plant.

DOUGLAS, X. D. Marion County Dept. of Health When speaking: of acid foods, most people have; la mind foods which have aa acid, or some sharp t.': taste.' 8 :k foods! as v or anges; ; lemons. apples, . a n. d A si t f fruits Vould t b. y ft. come lander the classification of acid foods. I It is true that in many of the fruits there a r s m a 1 1 amounts of f r e aeid which I f 1 v e them ' their Sharp taste. In the process of ev. V, A. DonciM oxidation in ) the body, ihowever, the free acid Is either destroyed or Is neutralized completely, by the alkaline 1 ash which remains, and this the fruit is spoken of by nutritionists as an alkaline ash food. Certain fruits help replen ish the alkaline reserve of the body, while acid-ash foods use it up. The body tissues are normal ly slightly alkaline;. la j reaction and we would therefore i not eat too - many foods which leave an acid ash. j i jv M "Briefly the acid foods are eggs, meats, including fish and poultry; ; foods .made of grains, such as wheat, corn, barley land rice; and all fats; such- as cream.) batter, and suet, especially when . not properly combined ;wlth Carbohy drates. Carbohydrates provide the fuel in which fata j ! are J burned. When there is not enough "fuel" the fats "smolder'') i and an : acid Whoi grains acid than re- condition results, as a rule are more fined flour, since most of the acid substances are contained in the outer layers.' . , & - j Acid Foods Have Vitamins While many experiments hare shown that animals j including the human, subsist best on .diets which are largely alkaline la ash residue, there f arel! other sub stances found in acid-ash foods which are absolutely essential to Jf normal growth and activity. Some of the important growth-proteins are found in meats and cereals, both of which are acid foods. Vi tamins A and D are found com monly in butter fat.i eggs, glandu lar organs, and cod liver oil, all of which are acid foods. Vitamin 13 la found in the germs of seeds. Some of the aeid (foods I supply minerals, such as phosphorus and iron. j! r There Is in the United States, according to McColIum and oth era, an over-consumption of acid ash foods, particularly cereals and meats. This appears to Account fqsat least part of j the Increase in heart, kidney, and blood ves sel diseases which !has occurred since modern milling: of cereals became such a fine art and,1 adver tising and rapid transportation began stimulating the over-consumption of cereals has well as meats. - ; I . -Food fads are born of too great attention to the strong points of some particularly group of -foods.

Amend, of the Wlllam ette Fig Gardens, Inc., is back again this year at the state fair, n his usual place, the northeast corner of the big pavilion. 4 W Mr. Amend is the Burbank of the fig industry of Oregon and the other states lot the Pacif lo northwest. And he Is himself largely a Marion county exhibit: a matter of pride to residents of this county. U - Isaac Amend, his father, had a farm four miles southeast of Sa lem. Though B. R. was born at Gallon. 15 miles north of Cincin natl, Ohio, Jie spent his boyhood days on his father's Marlon coun ty farm. Mrs. Amend was Hattle Kirkpatrick of Aumsvllle. When B. R. was 17 he went with his brother and they en gaged, in running saw mills; two years J at West Stayton and three years above Sublimity. la V Then B. R. Amend went to Cen tralia. Wash., and worked in shin gle mills there. While thus en gaged he lost an arm. Notwith standing this handicap, in 190S he entered the employ of the Kil ham Printing and Stationery-company at Portland, and remained with that firm until 192S. in charge of their credit department. But he was during the latter part of this period conOantly ex perimenting with things in the horticultural field and so he drifted into his specialty, fig growing. This was a field that re quired Infinite patience. 'When Mr. Amend began in this line, no fig trees were grown In this sec tion that were sure bearers. In the first place, figs In their native countries will not bear without the presence of fig wasps to sting their blossoms. The fig wasp can not live here; it must have a warmer climate. ! V V So varieties had to be develop ed by experimentation that would bear without the fig wasp sting. A rather large order. ,Then, too. varieties must be produced that would be more or less cold resist ing. Another large. order. V V Bat Mr. Amend found the quest interesting, fie soon saw- that -hie was making progress. He was fill ed with the enthusiasm that thrilled j Lather Burbank, the plant wizard. Mr. Amend has eome to see his fig dreams come true. Though i he Is by no means through, i after thousands of; ex periments. ' V The mother garden occupies a quarter of a block in the city of Portland, at 355 Willamette: boul evard. Trial gardens have been conducted from Seattle, Wash,, to Medford, Oregon. One of the singularly successful plats was at Sllverton. This one has been sold. mm The operations are now under the company name and direction, the Willanvette Fig Gardens, Inc.. organized in 192S, with 125,000 capital. Mr. Amend la president, J. S. Brooks of the Kllham print ing concern Is secretary and treasurer; and Barney Mays, sec retary for BushOng & Co., print ers, Portland, is rice president. They have their nursery and or chard In one of the Portland sub urbs, covering six acres, and two acres near Newberg; the latter planting being most favorably lo cated. The fig will adjnst Itself to more .locations than will the fruits having acid content. But the fig needs a south exposure, to get the sun. And l it needs a well drained soil, and a place not In frost belts. It needs especially to be In a place free from cold northwest winds. It should have good air drainage, but not freezing winds. .. V ' - . Mr. Amend's company has all the business it can handle, both present nursery stock and orch ard trees; more. In fact. In some lines. The candled figs are put up by regular candy factories, and they would take more than the present supply. The same with some' of the preserved and other specialty products. 1 It is estimated that about 10 mlUioa women It the United States are employed In gainful oc upatloni. -? T-r' "'"'"?"'"'

These three have toven all right during a term of years. Trees are scattered all over western Oregon and Wasb ington; some further afield. Sa lem has a number of them. Mrs. M. N. Chapman, f2t Norih Church, has some, good ones. ' a I A fourth variety, thelNeveralla, a blue Syrian fig, has lately been added to the big four of the Ore gon fig family. Mr. Amend has experimented with this Syrian fig for. IS years. Some trees In Ore gon are 20 years old. He finds It one of the best; the fruit suitable for all purposes to which any'fig grown In th world IsJ put. And figs are used In more ways, per haps, than any other fruit grown in the world.. In fact, fmore figs than any other fruit are produ ced In the world. , w !. . , The writer submits that Mr. Amend, our one armed fig Bur bank, has led a successful car eer; and that he is young enough to see it much extended in useful ness- te his state. ! ; v : .

Came a Sunday morn I led ont a young horse I still believe had never been rode pardon . me, "Never a horse but eanbe rode, never a man but can be throwed." Full many a horse has never seen leather, and e map, learns to ride by being- throw ed. I led oat the bronc, strapped my senile on his back and climbed up.

" ! Reminder ' I ' .The night was very still and as Milly drove by; from an upper window ot the inn a sound floated down to them in passing! sound that in a flash carried Jim Wrnter's mind startllngly back td Monksllver, where In the blind night of that empty house h had comei upon mystery, terroi" and death.. . - UN ! - Just some one, invisible behind the curtains of that halt-open window, whistling the air j 'of a sonr from a revue running at one of the theatres but : enough ! . to bring a startled gleam of remem brance to Jim's eyes. ' ! j I The same air that he had heard an unseen man whistle that night at Monksllver that man1 1 whose face would - still be that of the, veriest stranger, though he had heard and would know the ivoice again, with whom he had fought In the darkness of that perilous hOUae. Ti - The ear shot past and round the corner, to draw np for petrol outside the lighted row of pumps of a garage there. On a sudden Impulse Jim got out whilst the car's tank was being replenished, and with a word to the others strode back to where the lights ot the Cross Keys gleamed out in to the dark. ' ; , He wanted to see the face of the man who had whistled! that air. i. i i - Not that Jim Wynter had really could muster strength enough to move,, I had mustered strength enough to hook my spurs;! He trotted over the graveLto a! spot where he could crawl up the bank and out. A few days later I j sold him to a man who wanted a "good. safe pony for a little girl ! to ride to school." Yes, he was safe. But was it difficult? When a! dentist asks me why I have no teeth in my upper Jaw, I tell him about that ride. That horse loosened evy tooth in my upper jaw, Conies now to mind another scene, ' a level plat of ground at the foot of a high steep hill, ap parently an ideal place to ' ride a bad horse, j Someone led out a big black mustang, a great, powerful brute. Again I was the victim. "forked" . him, and he : Went straight away he was headed for that hill. It's easy to ride a buckj ing horse aa long as he is headed up hill, but here ,1s a trick the doctor failed to name: .That horse traded ends. Instead of looking up that steep, hill and wondering how far he was going, I suddenly began looking dow- at ' the spot where the ride started. Now ! saw daylight, for it is quite another matter to ride a horse bucking down hill. I saw that spot ot ground, through a cloud, yet it was a clear day, I saw a blacksmith's anvil, it turned into a block ot pavement. "I chose to light on it, bnt'found It to e the hardest thing I ever met When I looked up I saw a black horse with a senile on, but no rider, he was coming towards me, out of f the clouds I saw the frogs on his front .feet I felt the air on both ears as his feet hits the ground, Someone brought me a drink.7 I asked how high that horse threw me. "About a mile." Now If any one doubts the mile let them go up, as I did, and measure the dis tance down, rather than stand on the ground and try to estimate the distance up.
