0h, Yeah?
. This is what we get out of Lane' county in
response to our challenge to reach the goal first
in the Third War loan: v . 1 .
"Lane1 county will beat the - feathers i off
Marion County in the Third .War loan-" :
. It comes, via the Register Guard, from Dr.
N. H. Cornish, : county campaign1 chairman i in
Eugene. ' ' 'What's more he stakes an ynrationed
turkey dinner to Jesse Gard and three of his top
assistants (what number are we, Jess?) if Lane
county doesn't "get there fastest with the rnost
est." He throws in the challenge that Lane coun
ty will exceed its quota by a higher percentage
than. Marion. ' - "
Then the R--G goes on to brag that already
Lane county is put in front of Marion, both in
totals and in percentage.
WelV folks, what are we going to do about
it? Are we going to let those lumberjacks and
college profs at the head of the valley get away
with their boasts?. We certainly aren't going to
let Jesse down so he will be stuck with provid
ing a turkey dinner to Cornish and his pals. The
bond campaign is swinging into it last two
weeks; so every one planning to buy should step
right up and pu? his money on the, line. By the -end
of this week we want to get under the wire,
ahead of Lane county, and thenrnext week get
so far out in front we can all lookback at.Com
ish and his sweating stalwarts and sayi "Oh
Yeah?"
Farmers' Markets
Down Portland way the city is encouraging ;
farmers to open stalls on vacant city lots and .
sell their produce direct to consumers. On one ;
hand fanners were complaining because they
couldn't find a market for thejr stuff, and coli
sumers, were roaring over the high"; price they ...
paid for vegetables in regular markets. This ,
seems a simple , way to end gouging by merch
ants, and help both producers and consumers.
Past experience shows that these city-encouraged;
farmers markets do not stay farmer
very long-The stalls in public markets become .
merely the stores for the retailers renting the
space. Why is this? Simply because producing :
and retailing; are two different occupations. One :
cannot spend his time growing produce and run -a
retail stand at the same time.Ie may work it
' for a particular crop, like corn or melons; or he
may detail some member of his family, to do
one or the other. The farmers himself can't be
in two places at once, no matter how hard he
tries.1 . I- - ,''v;' "' " ' ' '' ! ::
. If he tries retailing his owr stuff or pro- -duce-of
hisL neighbors, very long he will find
himself lip against costs like rent, lights, water;
licenses of various kinds, city, state or federal;
taxes; sanitaary requirements; food handlers
examinations; donations; hired help when hen
' goes out to lunch; losses through spoilage or
c lack of customers.
It may very well be that retailers have been
charging too much for green stuff. , War always ,
stimulates human greed, and the knowledge that
a clerk who wasn't worth 40c an hour has gone
on a government war job at 95c an hour doesn't,
serve to restrain the native impulse to get while
the getting is good. It may be true also that rig-
4 id ceilings on staples encourages gouging on
items outside the ceiling. We don't defend any '
; of that. . But' as a general rule competition in
all food lines is so keen that only a shrewd and
industrious operator can stay long in the bus
iness. And when in wartime gouging is indul-
: ged in there is always the competition of home-
- grown stuff or producer-to-consumer selling to
bring prices in line.
Excess Housing?
Are they, biiilding too - many housing units
in Portland? Judging- from present local de
mand the answer may be in the negative. But'
looking ahead a few months when the' houses
bow being built or planned are-ready for oc-
cupancy the demand may not be there. We hear
even now of unoccupied units. F 1
Shipbuilding will not hold up to the fast pacm
of early 1943. Other war work will start to ta
per ; off after awhile. More efficient use of pre
sent workers may bring discharges to many now
- on th'"pgrrolls,--;v...'.-;. jv 'V ',
How closely Js house construction geared - to :
probabje need of six months from now? Or will ;
the i government stiir be building - houses ' after
the hegira from Portland starts? -' - i
We hope that Salem is spared "wartime housing."-
The city; is tight now, but better to get -by
until te green light shows for building
permanent houses than to get these war-boom
living shanties. . '
No Iilk Subsidy !
It seems foolish to have the government pay
any subsidy to milk producers. Where price in
creases are needed they should be made; but
the cost should be to the consumer, not the gen
eral government. The people themselves would
feel better to pay the necessary price rather
than to feel the government, is furnishing part
of the cost of their food.
. The great difficulty among dairymen has
been lack of labor; and we ought not to pull la
bor from war industry to sustain milk supply.
If necessary in months of low production dealers
can ration supplies by practical methods, giv
ing children and the sick preference.

Scattered Coffins - -'J
"Among real mysteries there is the mystery
of the coffins in the Chase family vault on Bar
bados island. It is genuine and has baffled in
vestigators for years. Robert O'Brien, in, his
column in the San Francisco Chronicle, recently
gave the following condensed story of the mys
tery, from Aspin wall's "Pocket Guide to the
West Indies": - . '. , . '
' The Chase vault was located in the church
. yard of Christ's church on the island of Barba
. dos. It was dug in the ground, about two feet
into live rock. The entrance was closed with a
-, ponderous slab of Devonshire marble, so heavy
that It took four men to lift it. ' ,
On July 6, 1812, there were three coffins ,
in the vault, two leaden oner and one wooden
one. One of the leaden ones held the body of
an infant And on that day, the vault was un
sealed to receive another casket. A strange sight
met the horrified eyes of the funeral partici
pants. An extract from .the authentic account -,
compiled by the late Hon. Forester M. Alleyne,
follows: ;';;:j; :-.;: t, -,u; 4iAi:)l'.
"Upon the vault being opened, the two
leaden coffins were evidently removed from the :
situation in which they had been placed; par
ticularly the infant, which had been thrown
from the northeast corner of the vault where it
had been placed, to the, opposite angle.. : The
coffin was nearly upright in" the corner, -.but
the head was down to the ground. t, .
"September the 25th, 1816, Samuel Brew
' ster Ames, an infant, was buried; and the lead
' en coffins, when the vault was opened, were
removed from their places and in much dis
order. November 17, 1818, the body of Sam
uel Brewster (who had been murdered in the
insurrection of the slaves on the 15th of April
, preceding and who had been previously buried
in the Parish of St. Philip) was removed and
interred in the vault, and great confusion and
disorder were discovered in the leaden coffins.
July 7th, 1819, Thomasina Clarke was .buried
in the same vault, and upon its being opened
much confusion-was again discovered among
the leaden coffins." r 'HJ'-
Once more the account says, the coffins
were placed in order and this time, when the
vault was sealed, secret marks were made in
the mason work at the vault's mouth. About a
year later, some planters were discussing the
mystery, and decided on the spot to open the
vault once more. They did so in the presence of
the parish rector. Lord Combermere, and sev
eral others, after first acertaining that, the se
cret marks were inviolate. Once more, the mas
sive leaden coffins were scattered about the
. vault as if they had been picked up and Juggled
and dropped by a macabre giant. The wooden
coffins were exactly where they had been left.
- A Mr. Lucas, who was present at this final
t opening of the vault, had this to say about it at
: the time: ; 1 J U ,;;r r.. - - , ' r .
"I examined the walls, the arch and every
I part of the vault and found every part old and
similar -and a mason in my presence struck
' every part of the bottom with his hammer, and
all was solid. I confess myself at a loss to ac
count for the movements of these leaden coffins.
; Thieves certainly had no hand in it; and as for
any practical wit or hoax, too many were re
quisite to be trusted with the secret for it to re
main unknown; and as for negroes having any-
thing to do with it, their superstitious fear of
the dead and everything belonging to them pre
cludes any idea of the kind. All I know is that It
happened, and that I was an eye-witness of the
fact." r.' -y 'V .
The day after the final examination, rela-
tives of those buried there had the coffins re
moved and buried in graves. Now, says Aspin
wall, the vault stands deserted and forlorn, 1
. "and if curiosity prompts him to enter it, the
visitor, will probably find nothing inside except
perhaps some stray leaves and a few bones
thrown there at a later date."
Sizes of Annies -
According to United States News the axis
powers, after Italy's defection, have enrolled in
their armed forces a total of 15,500,000 men,
against 22,300,000 for the allies. Germany's to
tal is 8,500,000; Japan's, 3,000,000; -and for the
satellites (Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria) 4.
000,000. Among the United Nations Russia has 12,
000,000 under arms, the United States 7,300,000,
and Great Britain 3,000,000, exclusive of the
large British Home Guard. Troops of China and
India are not included.
While the allies have a preponderance of
numbers, the axis can use its forces with great
er economy because they can operate on shorter
arcs, although; the wide dispersal of 'Japanese t
troops over a water area limits the advantage.
The British economist, John M a y n a r d
Keynes, now an English lord, ; is again In this
country. t . Conservatives will view his - return
with alarm, knowing full well how many bil
lions of dollars his theories have cost this coun
try. They, will hope he doesn't visit the White ;
House; or the effect will be as bad! as when
Roosevelt used to come back from trips about
the country in depression days, with' some new '
idea of world make-over.
Returns are not all in on the famous dog-'
garden controversy that raged last spring in
- city councils ovefOregon. For a time it crowd
ed -the retreat of Rommel off the front pages.
Just how the battle between dog and onion sets
ended we do not know; But apparently enough
stuff was growrjjn town gardens to feed thous
ands despite dogs, cabbage worms and potato
blight.
Rumors are to the effect that the new gov
ernment of Argentina is pretty shaky, made
more insecure ; after, Secretary Hull's brusque
refusal to furnish It arms. Perhaps if we let a
few boatload of small arms slip throush the
blackade and reach? dissenters a real " revolu
, tion might result. Or has that gone out of style
under the good neighbor-policy? .
. " The Finns .have told the nazis they ., want
peace. That will not do them any good. They -will
have to settle with the Russians, who may
make them pay through the nose.

The agnostics of the latter half
of the 19th century were phil
osphic descendants of the deists
of the 17th and 18th centuries.
persons who accepted belief in
God as creator but not as an im
manent deity ruling or interfering
in the lives of men and in nature.
Benjamin Franklin, Washington,
Jefferson are classified as deists,
though Washington retained a
position as vestryman in the par
teh church. j 1
: .There was surge of atheism
" in, the early part of the 19th cen
tury. In the first third of the
; century the Unitarian revolt in
"New England, with such leaders
as Charming and Parker and
Emerson, gave a haven to those
dissatisfied with the doctrine of
. the Presbyterian-Congregational
"established" church. (IngersoU
father, by the way, was a Con--gregational
minister). And the
, Darwinian theorj . of evolution
touched off a sharp battle be
tween "science and religion" in
the middle and latter part of the
- century. - - - '
Now we hear little about free
thinkers and agnostics. There are
no popular lecturers against the
Bible and the Christian creed.
Scientists teach Sunda) school '
classes. , However, what has hap
pened is that the "adds of mod
ernity,", as Waltei Uppmann
7K have eaten away within old
churches. The battle of the 20th
century has been within the
church, between modernists and
fundamentalists. Liberal theology
has penetrated the thinking both
of pulpit and pew in many Pro
testant denominations, though
it meets with vigorous opposition
from adherents pf older doctrine.
The war has stimulated .re
ligious thinking and religious af
firmation. The remark "there are
; no i atheists in the foxholes of
Bateau" is echoed in many
hearts. The experience of Capt
JRickenbacker and his raft-mates
'adrift on the " Pacific, : seeking
, succor in prayer and praise, has
been widely acclaimed. But there
was the case of the other raft
cast ashore on the South Ameri
can . coast, . where was found
scrawled the comment of , the
' victim, who saw death approach
Ing. "perhaps we have not prayed
- hard enough. The skeptic might
quote the old philosopher who
observed, "The votive tablets of
those who escaped are suspended
in the temple, while those who
were shipwrecked are forgotten;
or Bacon's words: "Men mark the
hits but not the misses." .
The mystery of the' giving or
withholding of divine . favor la
as old as the book of Job, as
recent1 as Thornton Wllder'a
"Bridge of San Luis Rey."
Whether one comes, as did Job,
to resignation and faith: "I have
heard of thee by the hearing of
the ear: but now mine eye seeth
thee;" or whether as did Mr. Van
Trump, one finds no satisfying
proof in the creeds of churches
and no solace In religion, the
questions of man's relation to
man and the universe, of life and
death.- remain ones which, each
individual must answer for him
self. j Ucrcb
