The Grange and Farm Indebtedness A GRANGE over in : Benton county took action recently jCTL endorsing: a moratorium on farm debts. This action seems out of accord with utterances of grange leaders. The Statesman recently quoted the comments of A. S. Goss, mas ter of the Washington state grange. We notice in the last iews letter from Fred Brenckman, representative of the na tional grange in Washington, D. C, an article which con demns the moratorium idea which the Benton county gran gers endorsed. The following is the Brenckman article: CANCELLATION OF FARM DEBTS IMPOSSIBLE Obstacles to Suck a Plan Too Serious to Overcome ' That a moratorium with reference to the farm mortgage , ' debt, however welcome such an arrangement would be to many farmers under i prevailing conditions. Is outside the realm of practicality is the epinion of most well-informed students of the subject. In a recent statement, F. H.,Klawon, president of the Federal LandBank of St. Paul, pointed out that while the farm mortgage debt of the country now totals more than $9,000,000,000, the mortgages held by the Federal Land banks total only $1,156,000,000, or about 12 per centof the , whole, "Yet It is sometimes suggested that relief should be " extended to the farmers through the Federal Land banks," says Mr. Klawon. Continuing, he says: "There is a much stronger argument against any gen eral moratorium activities, or the government declaring a debt payment holiday In connection with Federal Land Bank loans, and that is that the government does not own these banks, as Is frequently thought, even by well-informed peo ple. This misinformation probably became current due to the fact that in IS IS J- when the Federal Land Banks were established, Congress advanced practically all of the money necessary to start these banks in business, some $9,000,000; but sir this money, with the exception of a few thousand dollars, has been returned to the government." -jn the meantime, ;t tie rarmers themselves nave become the owners of these banks, and they own about 99 2-3 per cent of the stock in these institutions. That it will be sound business policy for the land banks and other mortgage hold ers to be as lenient as possible in collecting the interest and principal that is due them where the borrowers are in dis tress may readily be Been. Wholesale foreclosures could have no other effect than to further depress land values, thereby Imperiling the security upon which all farm mort gages rest. j i ' ; j. I - . ' . "r ! KO AC Suffers Extra Cost RADIO station, KOAC, which is owned and operated by the state college, has had to go on a twelve hour schedule in order to retain its license. The radio commission issued its order to that effect and refused to grant the appeal of Pres. Kerr, for postponement of the order for a year. It has been the plan of the state board of higher education, approved as we understand it by the;state administration, ta make KOAC an all-state radio, operated strictly for the public benefit. An extension is planned to Eugene so the university could broad-! cast; and another to Salem for the use of state officials and institutions here. I But in the present financial predicament of the state and the educational institutions it was notJ possi ble to expand the station serviccihis year. it is costing tne state college iu,uuo to expand to the full twelve hour schedule as it is. The added matter which it is broadcasting is not essential to its service; is largely du plicated by other broadcasting stations operating in the state. But the expenditure was necessary for it to hold its license, ptherwise the commission would have cancelled it and the wave length would, probabW have gone to some greedy com mercial station, j I The radio commission is taking a very narrow attitude in not showing more favor and consideration to the state owned station which is non-commercial, and which is directly educational in character. The radio is the modern substitute for the old farmers' institutes which reached comparatively few farmers. In a radio poultry course put on by the college last year there were six-hundred enrolled, to say nothing of the army of listeners on the farms and small tracts in the state who listened in but did not enroll. Similar valuable sendee are rendered other farming interests in the state. The radio commission should have permitted the station to operate as much as it could without requiring it to go to the expense of twelve-hour operation ; in the hope that in another year or two, a'tmiversity connection could be made which would let th6 university bring to the state educational offer ings through this modern vehicle of university extension. The privately owned stations are fast becoming media just for. advertising. Joy Elmer Morgan, chairman of the national committee on education by radio, last week declared that radio in the United States had sunk to the lowest level q its development, and added: "It is evident to me that the public is disgusted with advertising on the air.M In the face of this why should the radio commission threaten the! life of the one non-commercial, strictlv educa tional radio' station in the state? Tongue Loose Again S MEDLEY' BUTLER, now retired from the marines, is cel ebrating his release with a tale as lurid as the yam he told on Mussolini. This one is to the effect that a group of multimillionaires are seeking a form of beneficent dictator ship and are ready to give up, half their fortunes to promote the plan. j - What silly chatter, and yet what dangerous matter too. There is no more talk of a "beneficent dictatorship" in this country than there is of la revolution ; and no pressing need for either. We have a hunch that Butler was looking in a mirror when he said these plutocrats were planning to head up their dictatorship "by a man without capitalistic or parti san ties And undoubtedly the laundry mark Ion his shirt band is SDB. j : WelL Smedlev. von hotter o K.b- L..- j; hells ; the country is in no J.

Curiously enough the diet which keeps the teeth and dental s t r u c tures In normal sondition is al- Bir. Z. L Brunk ,0 m0st helpful ia maintaining general body health. ; ' l' A complete diet which will help the prevention of dental cares is characterised by the following: 1. Should contain sufficient protein to insure proper growth and re pair; 2. Should contain enough calories or heat units for-full acti vity; 3. The residual ash: should be neutral; 4. Should contain in abundance the vltims A B C D E. 5. Should contain r in abundant amounts the essential minerals, such as calcium, phosphorous and iron. 6. Should be composed of j foods which are plentiful and rea- j sonable priced; 7. Should not be a "Fad Diet"; B. Should not re quire mineral accessories, such as pills or medicines jin order to make it entirely adequate. More specifically such a diet for a- growing child who would haTe sound teeth and straight : bones should consist of the following: One quart of milk daily., (May be plain or in cooked dishes). Two servings of fruit dally. . (One fresh fruit such as apples, bana nas, dates, prunes, peaches, grapes, oranges, berries). Two or three servings ; of vegetables dally one or more of which should be green .leafy vegetables. (Ve getables suggested; are tomatoes, carrots, celery, cabbage. beans, water cress, squash and; pump kins and the others which grow abundantly in the Willamette Valley.) One egg I or meat daily. I (Among the meats mould be In I eluded beef, fowl and fish, as well as mutton, liver and sweet breads. Several servings of cereal, cereal prod acts or bread dally. These should not be used hewever in excess. The cereal foods may be made from wheat,' corn, rye, rice or barley. Butter and fats may be given in moderate amounts. - Some In teresting experimental work Is now being conducted on the ef fect of excessive fat diets on the teeth of children.) H Children should not as a rule be encouraged to take sweets since the average American diet contains an excess of carbohy drate foods which are converted In the body into simple sugars. In the winter months cod liver oil may be given 1 since the vita min content of many foods is low er in winter than In the summer. Cod liver oil is a rich source of several . vitamins and Is a good substitute for the sunshine of which we have too little during our winter season. In the; true sense it is a food,, not a medicine, but excessive amounts should not be taken. j : Wht health probteaia aare yout If the above article raises saj queatien in your mind, write that qaeeUon oat and send it either to The Statesman j or the Marion county department ot health.

As we left the fair! grounds late last night', after we had . at tempted to see as much of it as w could, we carried away ; sever al thoughts. ! : The first one dealt! with the immensity of the show. Since early afternoon, we had visited the main agricultural i building, the 4-H club exhibit building, the automobile show, the poultry di vision, the- rabbltry and, the; stock barns. Then the evening over took us and the horse show. And after the horse show we attempt ed to see more of the fair, but before we had made the rounds, it was timeto go. Truly! the show is fashioned on a grand j scale. There are stock barns j filled to overflowing. Wonderful exhibits of cattle, horses, hogs and jsheep. And in all the classes we j found Linn county exhibitors, who were winning purple and blue ribbons galore. Not .only did we feel! proud of eur state but of pur county, too. We found ourselves marveling, also at the diversity of the pro ducts ot Oregon. Surely na state could show greater variety. Pro ducts ot farms and gardens ga lore, nuts, filberts as j large as horse chestnuts, almost; wonder ful vegetables, wonderful grains. Then there were the dairy, pro ducts, milk, butter and cheese; wool and mohair; products of for ests and mines. Everything' neces sary to our- type of civilization was there, except cotton. We did not see any cotton but; we would not be surprised to hear pome body gay that it's there. f And as we were reflecting on this diversity of Oregon products, there came to us a fuller realiza tion of the cause of; Oregon's prosperity. The commonwealth does not stake its chances on any one number of color. ! It plays them all and by so doing It is bound to find some winners H And , there was another thins that Impressed us. It was the loyalty of Oregonlans to their big fair. There was a tremendous crowd yesterday and everybody seemed proud to know that Ore Ron Is such a wonderful state.

J. HENDRICKS "The parsonage" again: V In Thursday's Bits' column the fact was announced that the sec ond building, in what became Sa lem that was used as a dwelling is still standing, at 1325 Ferry street. Just as the first one stands at 960 Uroadway. Both houses were built by the Methodist mission, after the con struction of the saw mill . and grist mill opposite what is now 960 Broadway where the Larm- er warehouse is now. The mills were under one roof. The build ing that housed them was torn down in 1856, to make place for the plant of the Willamette Woolen Manufacturing company, pioneer factory of the kind on this coast. m - The Lausanne, carrying the "great reinforcement" for the Methodist mission, arrived at eld Fort Vancouver June 1, 1840, and in its cargo was the machin ery for the mills. They were housed and. set to work in the fall of 1840. and work on the Jaaon Lee mission house was started as soon as lumber was turned out from the saw mill near by. That first dwelling was finished soon; no doubt by early winter. t The next task was the con struction of the Indian manual labor school building that be came the Oregon Institute that by change of name became Willam ette university, and "the parson age", some rods to the east, to serve the needs of those who were to supervise the work at the Indian school. V The fine oak trees that stood there perhaps helped to decide the location of "the parsonage". It became the second dwelling house In what was, nearly a dec ade later, to be named Salem by the people who filed the first plats. There is a dispute as to who furnished the name of Sa lem. The writer holds that Rev, David Leslie had the deciding voice. V "U The third house, built at about the center of what became the block surrounded by Commercial, Court, Liberty and Chemeketa streets, was begun in 1842. We know this, because it is a well recorded fact that Rev. James Olley, who was building it, was drowned in the Eola rapids of th Willamette river while ratting down logs to make finishing lum ber for the house; to be taken to the mission mill for sawing. The drowning was on December 11, 1842. Mrs. Olley, who was thus made a widow, was a sister of Rev. L. H. Judson, who finished the house and lived in it for years, and Mrs. Olley was a member ef the Judson household there until in 1844, when she became the wife of Rev. David Leslie, the first wife of Mr. Leslie having died February 1, 1841. Thus it is well" established when the first three dwellings in what became Salem were built, and where. Which was the fourth one? The Bits man would like to hear from any one who can throw light on the matter. The Olley Judson house was the first one owned individually; the first one not belonging to the mission. . There was some kind of a house, the Bits man believes, near the present 14th and Cen ter streets, that was at first, oc cupied by employees working on the Indian., manual training school of the mission. It , may have been the fourth. The Rev. J. L. Parrish- house, still standing on Capitol street, a few doors north of Mill creek, was among the 11 dwellings In the village in the fall of 1847. It may" have been the fourth dwelling built. But the writer thinks not. . . - : V Rev. Gustavus HlneS, then liv ing in "the parsonage", the third dwelling, wrote in bis book. "Oregon", published under differ- and In their bearing. It was as though each one were thinking to himself, "Well, see t what- we can do!" . t; . " ..(-, 'v .H Yes, indeed, see what we as Oregonlans can do and are do ing. The evidence Is on every hand. It the outside world could see an Oregon state fair. It would soon recognize the reason for the state's greatness. Albany Democrat-Herald.

Left home in conoanr with I- H. Judson, for the purpose of.per- iorming another trip . to Van couver. We took a light canoe be longing to Mr. Lee (Jason Lee). ana snot out oe a little cove which runs up within a half mile of our house, into the strong cur rent of the Willamette, and, the water being high, we, glided down with great ranlditr. and a 7 o'clock p. m., encamped on a high bank on the left hand side oi tne river, having run the dis tance of 40 miles." i The "little cove", the Bits man believes, was in North Mill creek, near the Lee bouse and the mis sion mills. That is where Jason Lee must have kept his boat, to be handy to his residence. It was not far from a half mile from "the parsonage", standing where the Kay mill water tower is now. There were no streets then; only openr prairie. The high bank on the left side 40 miles: below was near the present site of Newberg. v S There are traditions that the lumber that went into the Lee house and "the parsonage" came around the horn. The Bits man does not believe they a,re correct. The timbers of both the Lee house and "tjie parsonage" were hewn. The workmen i no doubt found they could fashion them thus faster than they could saw them in the, small mission mill. But all the lumber no doubt came from the mission mill. Also, all that for the door, and window frames. The mission carpenters and cabinet makers were- good workmen. In "the parsonage" ' -there is some nice built-in work ot cedar; red cedar. There was plenty of cedar here in the early days, and this work was no doubt all done by the mission workmen. But the windows no doubt came around the horn on the Lausanne. They were small; had small panes. You can see samples of these now, In "the parsonage" woodshed that was built years later, at the pres ent location. They were replaced by larger windows, t you can see, and the discarded, small panes were used in building the wood shed. ,, There are many still available facts and conclusions to prove the identity of "the parsonage?, some more of which will be men tioned at a later time in this column. , Yesterdays ...

Kelly told mem- itm i n i ne vzarina s rxupies Warwick CHAPTER XXXY - I Before he reached it he knew that someone was inside the boat house someone evidently moving there with a flash lamp; and it was through a little hole where a knot of wood had fallen oat of one of the boards that a momentary gleam had shown from that moving light ; As he drew .nearer, his foot steps soundless on the grass, Jim Wynter could hear the faint fur tive movements within. Evident- Iy, the man Inside had no suspi cion of those nearing footsteps. Jim crept up;" found that knot hole in the white painted i plank ing. The building housed a mo torboat of modern . construction that .looked a model of efficiency and strongly enough built to take rough water. And a figure there seemed to be examining this craft with. very great :care and Interest by the aid of a small electric torch, the gleam of which alone broke the darkness inside the boathouse. . S . At first the ngure behind the light was too shadowy for j Jim to distinguish his ! features even faintly, That tiny glowing - bulb seemed to intensify the darkness beyond: Its . immediate radius. Conld that intent figure be Mar tin? And if Martin what on earth could he be doing with Such evi dent stealth? i . 1 Recognition ! Not i Martin! 1 : Suddenly, as though; some faint sound from outside had caught - his ears warningly, the 1 stooping man straightened himself with a start, involuntarily swinging his lamp 'round; and for a second its beam of light touched; and revealed a tensely; listening i face to Jim on the otherside of that spy-hole. Almost the last face that Jim Wynter in that amazed moment would have dreamed of seeln'v. The man from Sing Sing, John II- snam: . . j t j But no longer ;the crippled fig ure helpless without his crutches; a man standing erect, patently as inaepenueat of any suchatr as if t nose crutches were no more than a blind-John I Is ham! j And almost in that surprising moment of recognition, as though the same uneasy aprehensioa that Ilsham's face betrayed had Infect ed him j too, Jim Wynter swung suddenly 'round, with a faint sound creeping over the edge of silence to his ears. A sound net far away, like the snapping of m dry twig under a passing foot step.' And in an instant that warning- instinct had swept back on him again; a sense as of hid den eyes in the dark, of some stealthyj menace looming out of the blind, perilous night. As he swung 'round there came a sound scarcely as loud as the popping of ja cork. Something sang by his ears, to bury itself in theside of the boathouse not two Inches away from him. And Jim Wynter saw the wis dom of dropping; very promptly and full length in the long grass, knowing that a killer was abroad In the grounds of Beggar's Court tonight. That bullet from a wea pon fitted with a silencer ; had been deliberately meant for him and only by a bare two inches had been the margin between life and death. War declared now on hm, too. Speedy death would have been Jim Wynter's portion then if he had not dropped Just when he did. Almost Immediately out pf the dark encompassing night folow ed a second shot. The smack of the bullet on the side of the boat house sounded unnervingly close. The momentary flash revealed no morel than the direction I frjjm which the shots had come. ' The dense blackness under the trees, that the dim, misty starlight could not penetrate, screened any signs of movement there. Only Jim knew that not far away an enemy lurked, a silent stealthy moving shadow hidden In the deep; still shadows, waitingJ walting. That unknown killer, whose unseen presence some In stinct in him had sensed earlier near the ruins, who must have dogged him step by step through the trees into the open here by the estuary. , The estuary was at flood-tide, out on the turn, swirling and foaming between wide banks. An -effective means for a dead man with a bullet in him to be dispps- -ed of; swept down by the racing current and out into the open sea, a dead man .would tell no tales! Hardly a pleasant: thought for Jim Wynter, as he crouched there, with every nerve and sense strung up to an almost intolerable train but had -that been the fate designed for him? i - Peril - A fate that might yet be his. That be! was in a position of ap palling disadvantage he was only too well! aware. But his nerves Wefore now had proved them selves uncommonly steady it close quarters wijh stark danger and he could trust them not to let him down now. L "Rank bad shooting, anyway, to have missed me that first time," hie told himself, his habit ual cheerfulness reasserting it self even In a situation none too cheerfuli "such a target as I must bare made." - . Now : no . longer , silhouetted against the pale blur of the white painted boathouse that reflected what little light there was, he was as much hidden from that un known enemy as ' the latter wis hidden from himand that at least was in his favor. j Jim "Wynter crouched there, listening; with strained ears, not only for sounds of his enemy, but for the sound, too, ot the coining of a motor car in the side lane that bordered these grounds, and for .the signal of two hoots from the horn that would tell him Bill bers of Klwanla club yesterday, -, National econmy will prevent any further organization of new national! guard 'unites in Oregon for the time being; according to George A.

The: tale is oftep told of the setting up of images and idols, or. worship of the Rods of I the "heathen" with the favor or the connivance of the king of the chosen people. The narrative' frequently concludes withf the visitation of divine pun ishment upon, the king and the nation because of this violation of the Sacred commandment.- 1 One wonders as he reads the bible story, why these kings did "that: which was evil in the sight of the Lord.j" Plain as day. it may seem, they! were bringing misery to- themselves and : i their hapless people. Some might claim they were victims of priestly his torians who assumed to break the wrath of the Lord upon them be cause the kings would not follow the priestly dictation. But leaving that speculation but, the, same story may be written in the 20 th century A. DJ as in the 7th, B. C.
