U. a Army. 28 YEARS AGO PROFITEERING OR the public there is only one course to adopt; that is, economy in both essen tials and non-essentials, par ticularly the latter; also the turning of all energy available in money and muscle toward helping the Government win the war. Industry must be stimulated at home to afford this aid, but a stricter discrimi nation is required as to what isj necessary and what is not. There is a great deal of shallow criticism concerning profiteer ing a term which has not yet been satisfactorily defined and which is often carelessly used. Profiteering is both ' a moral and economical issue, and it is frequently impossible to draw the line. That any concern or individual should exact exorbi tant profits out of war trans actions, or take unscrupulous' advantage of the nation's need, ! or exploit food, clothing on other public necessities, when hundreds of thousands are j making every possible sacri-j f ice, even offering their lives, i is abhorrent to every fairmind- j ed and patriotic impulse. Such conduct depends mainly upon the individual, and is fortun ately rare. It is difficult to de cide where profiteering begins and ends, much depending up on circumstances From the Clews Financial Review. (From the East Oregonlan, July 20, 1890.)

The heroine of this charter was once a member of that noble army of teachers who train the youth of the nation. So' well did she accomplish her task that when said youths cast their votes, they elected Miss Grace Gilliam county treasurer. Thus, for the first time in history, a woman Is the guardian of Umatilla county's funds. She knew all about the "source of all evil "long before she was chosen for this office-, for she and her broth er, Y. A. Gilliam, were Joint owners of a gold and silver mine In the Green Morn mountains of Grant county. They sold It In 1902. Today this mine, known as the Ben Harri son, contains a million dollars worth of ore.. But Miss Gilliam Is a phi losopher and says It took a lot of money to get that million. Miss Gillliftn, who was born at Pi lot Rock, comes from a long line of Oregon pioneers. Her father, H. E- Gilliam, was one of the early settlers In the county and occupied the office of assessor for several years. Colo nel Cornelius Gilliam, for whom Gil- Ham county is named and who was killed during the Indian wars, was Miss Gilliam's great uncle. . In spite of the fact that she Is do ing unassisted the duties of her of fice which were formerly done by two men. Miss Gilliam has lme for "roughing It" and likes nothing bet ter than a fishing trip or a long ride on horseback. And she's a social service worker, too for she Is one of the founders of a hospital at Pi lot Rock, which Is called "Grace Hospital" In her honor. consequently the labor problem is In serious situation."
