Samming up the Farm Ledger . FROM now until after the first of the year adding machines will be busy in counting offices totalling accounts for the year's business. In some divisions the amount has already been rung up. Take farming: the bureau of agricul tural economics says that the farm value of Oregon crops for 1935 is $50,323,000, which is over a million dollars in excess of the value for last year, $49,268,000j For 1933 the value is reported at $63,002,000. In view of the farm pros perity generally reported it is hard to see on what it is based if the farm income this year is nearly $13,000,000 less than two years ago. It is also hard to see where the slump has occurred. The income from hops is very much less ; and the wheat crop was smaller both because of drouth and be cause of reduced acreage. It would hardly seem that these would amount to anywhere near the deficiency reported for the two-year term. Wheat is still the principal crop in the state. The 1935 yield of 15,551,000 bushels brought the growers $10,730,000 while last year's crop of 12,944,000 bushels gave a return to growers of $9,538,000. These yields are much below the five 3ear (1928-1932) average of 21,205,000 bushels, due to seri ous drought in 1934 and again in 1935. Moisture conditions now are very unfavorable for the 1936 crop ; and plantings of fall wheat are much below normal. So the outlook is not very good for next season. Potatoes in Oregon get into big money, $3,367,000 for 1935 and $3,032,000 for 1934. Production Amounted to 4,810, 000 bushels this year and 5,720,000 bushels last year. The freeze of November destroyed many tons of undug potatoes. The hay crop is an important one, with a total farm value this year of $14,766,000 for 1.823,000 tons; which compares with $15,923,000 for 1,977,000 tons. For hops the estimated returns to growers for 1935 crop are $2,955,000 for 123,500 bales. Last year's production of 97,750 bales brought $2,932,000. This year only about 100,000 bales were harvested the remainder "being left on vines because of crop damage, labor shortage and low prices." Apples, peaches, prunes and cherries returned the grow ers $8,202,000 which is about $571,000 less than for 1934. The dried prune production this year was 31,500 tons, about 7,300 tons more than last year, but the value this year of $1732,000 is $325,000 less than for the smaller 1934 crop. , The earth has again yielded its fruits in bountiful store. The farmers have labored and produced that the world may not starve. For their labors the farmers have received a great deal of money, two rjer cent more than last year; but when the $50,000,000 isspread among the.thousands of farm families in the state it is easy to see that the average cash income of the farmer is still low. Big News Stories of 1935 NEWS departments cannot run up their scores on adding machines to make impressive totals. But there has grown up a custom to appraise the news stories of the year, on about the same basis that All-American football teams are selected or best plays of the year picked out. J. M. Kendrick and W. F. Brooks, executive news editors of the Associated Press, have posted their lists of ten big gest news stories for 1935 already, evidently assuming that ;no big story Will break in the interval before New Year's 'day. The fallacy of making any such assumption" is evident in the fact that No. 1 story on the Kendrick list and No. 2 atory on the Brooks list is the Rogers-Post crash; in Alaska, an unpredictable event, a parallel to which might occur at any moment. Readers may be interested in the evaluations made by these men who daily handle the news of the world. Kendrick list: 1. Rogers-Post crash. 2. Trial and conviction of Haaptmann. 3.

Teachers to Meet A program of unusual merit seems to be in store for the teachers of Oregon who attend the 36th annual conven tion in Portland. Chancellor Frederick M. Hunter will give an address Friday morning on "The American Pattern." Dr. Hunter can meet public school teachers on familiar ground,; because he was for many years a city school super intendent. Many Oregon superintendents became acquaint ed with him while he was located in Oakland. Others sched uled to appear are Dr. F. J. Kelly, chief of the division of higher education, Washington who is known here as the head of the survey commission for Oregon's higher educational system in 1930 ; Dr. Grayson N. Kef auver, dean of the Stan ford school of education ; City Superintendent Edwin A. Lee of San Francisco. Teachers attend these conventions at their own time and expense, in a desire to develop themselves profession ally. The contacts they.find stimulating. Though they may bring few specific things for practical use they usually are well repaid in finding out educational trends and in associat ing with leaders in the profession. Romantic AN advertisement for a springs resort in southern Cali fornia, emphasizes: "Carefree days; romantic nights;" also golf, tennis, riding and swimming, along with steam caves and mud baths. Thus is "talcing the cure" made a gen uine holiday. One wonders if after a strenuous course at such a health, resort the patron' must not go home to take another cure by resting. - There is one word the world has, borrowed from the movies, that is "glamour." Spell it with the "u" please, the English way; It has a color of meaning all its own. There is no doubt of its popularity. Glamour is what all the world is seeking. Some get it by absorption through attending the movies, for example. Others get it by participating through a session at Palm Springs or some other swell resort. Glamour may be what our Oregon country lacks. We have failed at our mineral springs and other resorts to put in enough "carefree days" and "romantic nights." Life here is much too orderly. But what fine qualities would go out if Hollywood" "glamour" came in. : " President RooseTelt Is said to be devoting his attention to his aext message to congress.

KENT Copyright 193$. by TW Baltimars toa Limelight for Liberals Washington, Dee. 26 IT Is becoming Increasingly clear that in the 1936 national cam paign, already opened, there will : figure an un precedented va riety of "Ub- rtli," from whom will ema nate much rau cous and ridicu lous noise. SOME day the American peo ple, may wake up to th3 fact that that word "Liberal" e 1 o ajds more Frank X. Ktnt bunk than any other In the whole lexicon of poli tics; that it is the inevitable de signation of every shoddy scheme for the "salvation of the country" and is mouthed by all the political mountebanks and frauds as the indispenslble tag for their wares. However, up to date, the word continues to confuse the credu lous and is accepted by many as a substitute for logic, tolerance, fairness, common sense and, not infrequently, common honesty. HARDLY a week passes without some more or less conspicuous person twanging away on the Lib eral string. The romantic and pol ished Professor Tugwell, in his ar ticles and addresses, is almost ly rical about the "Liberals," speak ing with horror and loathing of those not of that persuasion. Gen eral Johnson, the once proud keeper of the defunct Blue Eagle, lecturing in the West, inelegant ly referred to Dr. Tugwell as a "marcelled ass," but indorsed the Tugwellian idea that the country should be in the hands of the "Liberals." A GROUP of patriotic and unsel fish labor leaders publicly call upon Mr. Roosevelt to name only "Liberals" to the Federal Bench, and that great political idealist. Mr. James Farley, loudly bellows that this is a "Liberal" Adminis tration. All the New Deal press agents praise the President as a Liberal." One of the ablest and most likeable of the professional. Liberals is Mr. Borah, who a few days ago, with deep solemnity, de clared himself willing to become a Presidential candidate, solely because of the necessity of "Lib eralizing" the Republican party and compelling It to nominate a "Liberal." It is difficult to know what Mr. Borah means by that. He can orate eloquently about It- but he can't be concrete or at least he never is. Representative Hamilton Fish, of New York, is another great "Liberal" whose heart is attuned to that of Borah; Mr. Gerald Nye, the Great Snoop ing Senator from North Dakota, is another. The La Follette brothers in Wisconsin are a couple of oth ers. The late Huey Long was one; Father Coughlln is one; Dr. Town- send one; Upton Sinclair one Liberals all. THEY are for "human riehts' those who do not agree with them are for "property rights." That is the smug assumption. It is a great Ditv thev are not all in one nirlr or in some campaign could not be shunted into a party all their own. That would be the logical thing and it also would be ideal if it could be arranged. It then could be seen exactly how disnroPorrion- ate is the noise they make to their numerical strength. However, that is not practical for two reasons first, they are conrenitallv in. capable of cooperation; second, so many of tnem find that clintrinar to the label of one or the other of the major narties la essential tn their political lives. It Is impos- smie to give a clear definition of what these Professional Uhral mean by the word. They are the most muggy-minded group in Am erican public life, the most disre- gardful of the multiplication tahi the most careless with figures. with the greatest distate for tacts. They inveigh against "Giant Cor porations." "Trust and M nnnnnl. ies," "Wall Street and -the Money Devils," the "International Bank ers and Caotains of Indnsir' richeg and success. They are for large expenditures of Diihllc money on public works, i.'gher taxes on business, a larger nation al debt, with a strong trend to ward currency inflation, national ownership and socialism.

The little pinpricks that used to reduce ber to a tmlirv state of raw nerves didbt even annoy her.

THERE ARE many persona., who complain about being afflicted with "rtnnaitis". Some- or them, X lear. are unfamiliar with the exact mean- tar of the term. 8 appose X tell yoa what sinusitis really U and how to avoid it. Sinus disease or sinusitis, a It to more commonly called, is an Inflam mation of the nasal atnusea These are cavities, air cells. In the. bones of the bead. They connect with the Inside of the nose by means of small openings. " iTnder normal circumstances no rerme are found In the sinuses. Fre i quently, however, the germs f a simple head cold . may reacn ine sinuses. This is apt to be the vcase it a cold is neglected, or the suf ferer la in run-down condition. The germs easily reach a sinus and since its Interior is moist and warm. rapidly multiply. One or more sinuses may become Infected In this manner. Pus Quickly forms. This produces pressure and may result in severe headache and pain In the face. Fain Is not always present In sinus disease. But pus from these cavities may be carried to other parts of the body. This will lead to disturbances elsewhere. The pus may drop Into the throat and then enter the atom- ache. Sometimes It reaches the lungs. Inanrova Resistance This center of Election is fre quently responsible for disease of the chest, as well as for asthma, arth ritis and other disturbances. In chil dren sinusitis may affect the eyes. brain, or lunss. Sinusitis should never be allowed to become chronic. Sometimes nasal packs are sufficient to cure the dis ease in its early stages. In the more severe cases surgical measures may become necessary. Since colds and infections of other parts of the . breathing machinery promote sinusitis, it Is Important to give prompt attention to every such ailment, to head off trouble In the nasal sinuses. To this end avoid those persons who have colds and coughs. If possible keep away from crowded' and poorly ventilated places. Improve your resistance asrainst colds by proper hygiene. Get plenty of fresh air and sunlight, adequate hours of sleep and rest, as well as a moderate amount of exercise every day. Include in your diet an abun dance of fresh fruits, vegetables, ce- reals, butter, cream, milk and eggs. These are rich in vitamins and other valuable food substances. They help to ward off colds, coughs, sinusitis and other infections. Answers to Health Queries R. M. Q. What can be done for a shiny nose?
