Planned Economy " - : "
COLLEGES with government money to -spend in aid of
students are having quite a hard time thinking up busy
work for the young folk. Right now there are -leaves to
rake on many campuses, and that keeps the toys eut 'of mis
chief. Later jobs will not be so numerous and the college deans
will have to scratch their heads to find :tasks by which the
, young people canarn their relief grants. '.;. " '
The dean at Drake university seems lo have solved it so
' far as his school is concerned. He is planning on starting a
dating bureau, with SRE (student relief employment) work
ers to operate it. What would be busier about a college cam
pus than a dating bureau? ; . .. - .
The way the dean at Drake expects to operate his bu
reau is to send out questionnaires to the students calling for
personal data; name, age, height, weight, color hair, eyes,
rrhetber student drives an auto or not, etc Then the dean of
' men and dean of women get' together to match up the appli
cants. If Henry is chosen to take Genevieve to the junior
. prom Henry is given her telephone number and he is supposed
. to do the rest. It isn't 4umounced whether the SRE relief
workers will help with the phoning and dating; but that
might come later.
V . How is this for bringing the abundant life to the college
. campuses! No more the long stag line at the college dances
with the wall-flowers sitting out for lack of introductions.
No more staying away from parties for lack of a date. Pretty
soft for freshmen, pretty soft, wjll say the old grads who as
rugged individualists did their own dating and mating.
These are the days of planned economy. From time im-
' memorial busybodies have aspired to be match-makers. Un-
- derthe blessings of new deal money their efforts will be bu
reaufied and the college boys and girls set on their way".
Dietetics .
MARION county people know the Eugene Courtneys of The
Dalles who are seriously ill with botulinus poisoning, and
hope they are able to throw off the disease which has
claimed one of .their friends. While occasionally we read of
food poisoning cases they are rare compared with the num
ber of people who expose themselves by eating three times a
day
- "Do you ever .stop to think how marvelous the food hand
ling system is in this country, from producer to consumer,
in its efficiency and in its standards of sanitation? Lettuce
may come from Mexico, tomatoes from Cuba, celery from
Lake Labish, bananas from Central America; canned foods
from many places, yet very rarely do they carry disease. In
the cases . at The Dalles the source was home-canned salmon,
: which is no cause for general condemnation of home-canning,
but it gives emphasis to the need for precaution in the can
ning process. .-
The diet of the average American is far better than ever
before. People have more and better knowledge of dietetics;
and tradesmen supply them with a greater variety of foods,
in convenient form, either fresh or preserved or refriger
ated. Capitalism may be a failure but few people are sub
sisting on graham mush and molasses even in these hard
times.
Capitol Land Grant
TTHEN congress passed the act admitting Oregon to the
f union it awarded certain
the use and support of a state university; and then the
act reads: "
Third, that ten entire sections of land, to be selected by
the governor of said state, in legal subdivisions, shall be granted
to said state tor the purpose of completing the public buildings,
or for the erection of others at the seat of government, under the
direction of the legislature thereof. "
Later congress became more generous for the newer
states, like Washington, received very generous allotments, of
land for public buildings.
Inquiry at the state land office reveals the fact that the
state got the land, but the proceeds of the sale went into the
irreducible school fund and not into a public buildings fund.
So there are no 'hidden assets" available from this source
to help pay for a new capitol. The state averaged about $2.00
an acre for the lands it sold, so the 6400 acres at that price
wouldn't provide much money toward a new capitol. The fed
eral government's grant of $1,575,000 is a very large sum,
however; and with nearly $2,000,000 from the state ought
to provide the state with a commodious and attractive capitol.
.'.The armory will prove quite satisfactory as a house chamber;
and it will introduce the spectators to the gallery seating arrange
ment. Undoubtedly the new capitol wUl hare galleries In both een
te and house chambers, which will be more convenient for the lis
, tenera, lean convenient for the lapel-pulling lobbyists, and more sat-
fsfactory to the legislators. At the armory the audience will be seat
ed in the gallery which runs around three aides of the auditorium.
. The senate chamber at the Marion hotel will have scant space for
spectators;, hardly room enough for the clerks, pages and reporters;
and even the private stenographers of members will be crowded out
(but not off the payroll).
Sorry to (hear of the burning of the old Hotel Tacoma. It was a
beautiful structure, designed by Stanford White, great American ar
chitect; and was well located, on a bluff overlooking Commence
ment bay. The hotel was built in 1SS3. We atopped there on our
first honeymoon -but not so long ago as that. The hotel Is to be re
built, so we will try to remember it if we ever have to have a second
honeymoon. The Portland hotel was also designed try White, but built
several years later. It carries something of the same atmosphere of
mellow hospitality of the old Hotel Tacoma.
This Tom Mooney case is pretty smelly. Two of the witnesses
are charged with perjury, and a court .reporter claims the prosecuting
attorney concealed .evidence and attempted bribery. The people want
Jsstlce done; and only Justice. But In California ideas are so fixed on
the Mooney case it is hard to arrive at Justice. . .
People, including taxpayers, are tunny. There Is a great deal of
protest against the state's baring more land for capitol grounds on
account of the cost; but the same
vorable to bigger and wider spending for old age pensions, social se
curity, and hydro power lines.

only to convey some notion of
the joyous spirit in which the
work is being carried- on.

at Hoseaale, near Kansas City,
Kan. Camp Wood, overlooking
the rolling plains, possesses run

boasts a huge stone fireplace, al-
tnougn there is also an open-air

deep and excellent for swimming
and boating.
CAMP BIDE-A-WEE for colored
women. Is a cooL ereen snot
shaded by huge trees situated be
side o clear creek, the "Little"
Arkansas river, which twists and
winds back among the woods. In
this camp is a spirit of coopera

great opportunity which manl
iest itself even to the most cas
ual onlooker. Some of these girls
have been to college, but they
want to learn more, and la their
work with their colored staff
members it is believed that these
women will achieve the ultimate
goal of the NYA in establishing
the camps. These colored women
live In screened-in cabins, possess
a beautifully furnished main
room . for recreation and study
and have tennis courts, swings
and a croquet ground for sports.
CAMP( WASHITA, at Rosedale,
accommodates fifty women. They
sleep in a dormitorv. over a com

Bits for Brealifast
By It. J. HENDRICKS "
Second Lieutenant Phil .
Sheridan was among' very
first men to irrigate land. ' - r :
tor crop la Willamette valley: .
(Conclndlng from yesterday:)
The memory of Mrs. Wallace that
harks back to seeing - Sheridan
with his gun, going to aunt birds,
tallies with what historians tell of
him. He was always fond of Hunt
ing, and kept his perfect physical
health by thus being- active and in
the open air. When in later years,
office duties made this harder, he
suffered, and- his life was short
ened. .
-::
There can be no doubt that
Sheridan used part of the land
which he, with Captain D. A. Rus
sell owned the land on the Polk
county side of the Yamhin river at
the Wallace bridge in raising
garden vegetables for the officers'
mess, and evidently also for the
commissary of the soldiers under
their charge.
It is also established that he
was a pioneer in using water for
irrigation In the Willamette ral
ley. -
: Some of the early settlers prob
ably called him a "book farmer"
and believed that in this "web
foot" country - to spend time or
money irrigating land was foolish.
S
But time is proving his fore
sight and wisdom. The day will
come when facilities will be pro
vided in the Willamette valley to
irrigate every cultivated acre, in
dry summers. Then this will be
one great garden, orchard and
park; the richest valley in all the
world.
The allusion of Mrs. Wallace to
R. P. Earhart, for a long period
one of the most popular citizens of
Oregon, brought pleasant memor
ies. Also, it took the Bits man to
the Chapman biographical his
tory of the Willamette valley, pub
lished in 1903.
S
. "Rockey Earhart was born in
Franklin county, Ohio, June 23,
1836. He came to Oregon In 1855,
with a good- business education.
His route was by way of the Isth
mus, and, through influential Ore
gon friends, he secured a clerk
ship under Second Lieutenant
Sheridan at Fort Yamhill, that
year.
He remained in that position
until Sheridan left for the Civil
war, September 1, 1861.
m
Toung Earhart then engaged In
merchandising. In Yamhill and
Polk counties, and married Nancy
A. Burden July 2, 1S63. Her fa
ther. Job Burden, was one of the
first county Judges of Polk coun
ty. He came with his family in the
1845 covered wagon Immigration,
from Sangamon county. Ills. Mrs.
Earhart was born in Illinois, and
was therefore a year old when
the family crossed the plains.
S
Rockey Earhart was appointed
TJ. S. Indian agent at the Warm
Springs la 18S4, and, after a year
or so. became chief clerk and spe
cial Indian agent for 1. W. Perit
Huntington, superintendent of In
dian affairs for Oregon, with
headquarters at Salem.
Mr. Earhart acted as secretary
of the board of commissioners ap
pointed by the U. S. government
to treat with the Klamath and Mo
doe Indians, resulting in the trea
ty which Captain Jack's band of
renegades flouted and disregard,
ed, leading to the Modoc war.
In 1868, he became a merchant
in Salem. The 1871 Salem Direc
tory had on its front cover page
an advertisement with this word
ing: "Cox ic Earhart, wholesale
and retail grocers, Moores block.
dealers in flour, teed and grain.
The members of the firm were
R. P. Earhart and T. H. Cox.

In 1870, Mr. Earhart represent
ed Marion county in the lower
house of the legislature, and was
instrumental in securing the pas
sage of bills for public buildings
in the state.
He moved to Portland Imme

time was employed in the bus

PROBABLY THE majority of lay

the abdomen to the left of the left

Philip H. Sheridan a great gen

peerless cavalry leader of all

in his Oregon service were not
the least of the whole list, making
him a master In many things, not
excepting commissary knowledge.
as his career after leaving Oregon
proved.

The fact that, for the benefit
of a proper diet for his officers'
mess, and a balanced ration for
his men, Sheridan knew the value
of good, fresh vegetables, is note
worthy, for his time.
That was before much was
known of calories and such.
And it is still more noteworthy
that Sheridan in pioneer days

serious undertaking and if performed
by a competent surgeon there Is noth

not dependent upon the spleen and
therefore Its removal will not en
danger the physical welfare, The
great authorities regard it as advisable-
te remove a spleen that, is dis

spleen are benefited by operation, in

is not needed. Usually the enlarge
