Even the people who are voting for this omnibus bill have little faith in it; but lust as four years ago, the party pledge for "farm relief must be carried out even though price-fixing schemes have universally failed, and the last ex periment was extremely costly to the country without cor responding benefit to the farmer. The final terms of the bill are not yet decided, but the general outline seems to be agreed on, and under the whip and spur of the president the bill will be enacted; and then a grand new experiment in restoring agriculture will be launched. A Balem old timer: Lines worth memorising: .a S The regular column of Fred Lockley in the Portland Journal contained for the Issue ot last Thursday the foUowlng: V w fAs yo drive south front Port land toward Newberg yon will no tice about midway the iongacre store. In the old days this Ticin ity was known as Stringtown, but is now known as Mlddleton. About a mile to the west ot Mlddleton Is the homo of John Chapman. When 1 interviewed Mr. Chapman on a recent trip through, the ral- ley ho said: I 'I was born on Howell prairie, about seven miles east of Salem. on December 11, 1SS1. You know all about our family, because I hare often heard my sister, Hattle Jackson, one of i Salem's pioneer residents, talk ot you. Yon also knew my sister. Mrs. Sadie Mc- r addon. In Salem. My father. Ca leb Chapman, was ft Campbelllte preacher. He preached more than SO years. My folks crossed the plains to Oregon In 1848. They started out from Missouri on May 5 and arrived at Oregon City on October 1. 1848. - 'Mr father was born in Illi nois in 1810. My mother's maiden name was Elizabeth Smith. Fath er and Mother were married la Arkansas on June t. 1848. There were fire children In our family three girls and two boys. I a the only one now living. When was a little chap I went to school on Howell prairie but later at- t ended Willamette university. Amoni the pupils at Willamette who were students when I 1 there were Henry H. Gilfry, James R. Sellwood, Joseph Sell wood, Sam Simpson and his broth er. SyL and Mary A. Robinson, who later married W. F. Oilkey, and who wss a teacher 40 or 80 years. " 'when I was about 14 years old I had to quit the university. went to work In a blacksmith shop In Salem owned by C. W Scriber and John Bash. Later 1 went to McMlnnville and worked four years in Charley Johnson's blacksmith shop. Still later I re turned to Salem and worked in John Knight's, blacksmith shop. John Knight spent his boyhood at Aurora and was later sheriff of Msrion county and still later ball iff in the federal court In Port land. I worked later la Andrew Kelly's blacksmith shop on Com merclal street In Salem. " 'I was married March 8, 1876, to Lucy Barnum, who was born at Stringtown, about midway between Portland and Newberg, 75 years ago. My wife and I lived seven years In Salem. We then moved to the Grand Rondo Indian reservation, where I served as government blacksmith. George P. Litchfield, whose son. Charles L. Litchfield, recently retired from the railway mail service, ran a store there at that time. served aa government blacksmith three years. " 'When I was In McMlnnville running a blacksmith shop I call ed it a good day If I shod 30 to 25 horses. The largest number ever shod In one day was 40, and believe me, yon have done ft day's work when yon have shod 40 horses In ft day. I used to build buggies also. It looked for awhile as if horses and buggies had gone into the discard, but now yon will see lots of farms being plowed with norses in place ot tractors, and yon can see an occasional team on the road. " "We moved from the Indian agency to our farm near Middle- ton. Wo have lived on this farm for the last 48 years. My wife the daughter of George Barnum He came by way of the Isthmus to California in 1841 and came up to Portland about ft year later. Her mother, whoso maiden name was Althena Albeo, came across the plains to Oregon In 1852. My wue s granaiatner, Simeon Albee, was tne secona poiimasier ox Newberg. My wile and I have had seven children, six ot whom are living.' Thst harks the memory ot old timers back to the days when the blacksmith shop ot Bash ee Scri ber was one ot the most Important ot the Industries ot Salem, and their families among the commer cially solid and socially promin ent. That institution was at the corner of Commercial and Trad a streets, where the Southern Pa cific freight depot Is now. One line of their ad in the 1872 Salem Directory read: "All kinds of work in . our lino EXECUTED NEATLY AND PROMPTLY. Par ticular attention paid to horse shoeing. Ironing of wagons, etc These lines of their trade were of high Importance then. How little now I They are all but forgotten. (Henry a. Gilfry was private sec retary to Governor L. F. Grover, and afterward for ft generation reading clerk of the U. 8. senate. The governor's office at that time was In the present Statesman banding', a half Interest in which was owned by the governor. 8am Simpson became Oregon's great poet, or one of them. SyL Simp son, his brother, was state librar ian, with the library in the pres ent Statesman building. The Sell woods became prominent Oregon educators, etc., etc) a S At this time, or any time, the following familiar lines are well worth memorizing, and reciting occasionally, and following in spirit: "Out of the night that covers me. Black as the pit from pole to pole. I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. Daily Health Talks By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.

Why was it not the patriotic thing to do a year ago? It was Mr, Hoover who signed tho pension bill giving tho veterans the extra hundreds ot millions; and it Is Mr.; Roosevelt who is taking the money away from them. Yet Mr. Waters, who fought Hoover be cause ho wouldn t grant immediate bonus ; payment, now says sup port the president". We say so too; but it was Just as necessary In 13Z. The Capital Journal corrects our comment on the beer bill by Quoting the act to the effect that licenses are to be issued by the year or traction of year instead or on tho monthly payment plan.

Peanut politicians? . By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. United States Senator from New York. Former Commissioner of HeoItA, New York City. NOT LONG ago. the sudden death of an outstanding- figure shocked the entire nation. Newspaper accounts referred to the cause ot death aa "acute Indiges tion". It bad not been uncommon for him to suffer from so-called in digestion. For the relief of these at tacks bicarbonate of soda was taken.- It is a common practice to de pend on soda and to neglect finding eut what Is wrong. Too often indigestion is not due to stomach ailment. Some times tt can be traced to a form of heart disease, known aa "coronary aisease . , I need not tell you. of course, that not all cases of Indigestion are due to heart disease. But under no clrcum stances Is It advisable to take medi cine without the consent and super vision of a physician. He and only 00 is qualified to determine what your ailment really Is and what medicine is Indicated. If Indigeetio Persists We often hear Individuals boast of never having been to a doctor. Yet they complain of Indigestion and seek reuer cram their discomfort by self' medication. I cannot overemphasise the danger ot doing this. 2 hope yon win not look upon indigestion as merely a mild discomfort. It la net a disease, m and of Itself, but ft may be a symptom or sign of some reel dUfturbance la tho body. . Persistent mdlgestlon mar be due to faulty eating habits, to Improper Met, or to emotional excitement, such aa fear or worry. Xt may be traced to an ererseeretion of the Juices of the stomach. This la easily controlled by renewing ft proper diet. Fried and greasy foods, salts, pep pers, spices and condiments, sheuM be omitted from the diet of the suf ferer from indigestion. Chew your food- slowly and carefully. Never gulp your food. It Is best to leave the table feeling a bit hungry rather than to have the sensation of being overstuffed. When indigestion persists in spite of corre Jon ot the diet and Improved habits of eating, a physical exam ination by a physician Is recom mended. In this examination. X-ray pictures of the stomach and Intes tines, should be taken. Various tests to determine the working of the stomach are advised. Seek the Cava If the stomach and Intestines are found to be normal, other sources of Irritation must be looked for, to de termine the underlying cause of the Indigestion. A diseased gall bladder or appendix Is often the cause of the upset when the diseased organ Is removed sU signs ot Indigestion dis appear. If the alimentary canal to normal, the heart must not be overlooked en the seat of the trouble which pro duces the symptoms of mdlgestlon. This disturbance Is of particular sig nificance In individuals beyond fifty years of age. Coronary disease Is an affliction of the blood vessels of the heart. Its only symptom may be mOd dlscom fort la the region ot the heart, to gether with indigestion. The disease is fatal when neglected. Unfortu nately, its true nature la overlooked, and many, times the symptoms are mistaken for indigestion. : Let me warn yen against the dan gers associated with persistant mdU gestlon. Do not neglect this oondU ttan, but make sure to talk with your physician. He has been trained hi his work and can advise you. Avoid depending on eelf medication with sa lts dangers.

People dtdnt stick to CHAPTER VI It was in the beginning that Mary Faith had been in need of a friend. A month after their coming to the tall red brick house her mother had died of pneumonia, and there had been no one but Mrs. Puckett to comfort Mary Faith and lend her money to pay for her course at the Spencerian Business College down town, She was a woman of big, whole souled virtues and small, absurd faults. And she' was a gossip and bnay-body of the first water. "Wall, here's our little lady! she cried, setting her tray down upon a marble-topped table in the middle of the room. "But her young man has fled without stopping to wait for our congratulations V "Mrs. Puckett has been telling us some wonderful news about you and Mr. Fan-ell, Miss Fen ton," said AUie, who was the elder of the two Brock girls. Her hands were clasped around her knees and she was sitting at the very edge of the sofa so thst everything about her looked expect- tnt "Yes, indeedyl" It was old Mr. McClintock who spoke up next "We hear thst this bad girl of ours is going to get married and desert us SUP His mild, watery eyes smiled at Mary Faith through the thin haze of his cigar smoke. Tve been telling these dear good people that you're going to leave us in less than two weeks, Mary Faith.' Mrs. Puckett began to pour the cider into little cups as she talked. The first of October that's the date, isn't it?" It was not the date. There was no loDgrr any date for the wedding, and Mary Faith did her best to say so with a cheerful, natural air. She must be cheerful and offhand about this, she kept telling herself. She must not let these people, or snybody, know how she felt about the postponement of the wedding. There were certain things that you owed to your pride no matter what happened to you I "We've decided not to be married on the first, she said, and there was not a quiver in her voice. "Kim Mr. FarreU found out today that he can t get away from the office just now." She wondered if any of them be lieved her. She was pretty sure that not one of them did. She caught Lily Brock giving her a narrow, cal culating look as she took a cup of cider from Mrs. Pucketf s tray. They sU lifted their cups in their hands. Mr. McClintock, as toast- master, cleared his throat "We had intended to drink to the long life and happiness of yon two young people, Miss Fenton," he said each other like that if they didn't with raindrops that looked like tears lo"Tch. hr f running down the window panes in her room. The trees in Haltnorth Park were bidden In a mist and Mary Faith bathed and dressed by electric light There was a light burning in the lower hall, too, she saw as she came down the stairs at eight o clock. A man was sitting just inside the curtained door of the parlor. At the sound of her light hurrying steps he got np and came out into the hall. It was Kim. Before he reached her he began to speak. I want to talk to yon, Mary Faith." he said quickly and unsteadily. "Is there any place where we can be alone?" Beyond him in the parlor Mary Faith could see Mr. McClmtocJr-fit ting beside the fire reading the Taorn- tng paper. Agnes was standing m tne aoor ot tne cuning room. "Why," Kim, yon couldn't stop- liking me after all these years," she said, putting her hands up to her aching throat "Yon can't care for that girl the way you do for me. Kim, Yon haven t known her long enough. . . . Why, think, just two night ago yon told me we'd be mar ried on the first! And now this Kim, I couldn't lire if yo threw me down now. That may sound silly to you, but if s the truth." He sagged lower in his seat shrugging his shoulders. You're making this awfully hard for me, Mary Faith," he said, his forehead a maze of petulant lines. "You're making it awfully hard for both of us.- Let's try to be calm about it" He made a sudden Impatient movement with his head.

The green iron benches where sweet- square thing was to tell yon just how things are so far as I'm concerned." 'Through with each other?" re peated Mary Faith. And then she said tt again. "Through with each other." She sat still, taking it in for a minute or two. "Went" she said at last as if she finally realized just what had hap pened to her. "Well, that's that isn't it?"
