S. . OREGON'S GUEST TODAY. RESIDENT WILSON in his fight for the League stored up in the average Amer ican seemed to be turned loose. Americana bought freely of everything they had been ac customed to before the war and more for good "measure. Hash was served less frequent ly on the American table and stocks of food and clothing were taxed heavily by demands of the public. - Overnight the publie forgot the lesson of thrift and their re action on the stocks of avail able goods naturally forced prices upward. With money to spend and a keen "demand for goods, they soon saw that dealers were quick to follow up the advantage and demand prices which have now become beyond reason. Were the peo ple to remember what they were taught by their govern ment regarding saving and thrift, they could alleviate! from their side some of the troubles which now engulf the entire populace.

His hardest test will fiome probably with his inva sion of California, stronghold of Senator Hiram" Johnson, one of the oppositionists. Oregon is glad to greet and welcome the fighting presi dent. For the most part the people of Oregon want to see the treaty ratified and have faith that the document as drawn up by1 the president and his colleagues in the conference will do. Oregon's two senators i have reflected the wishes .of j j their constituents by lending jd. their support to the league cov enant and treaty, although neither, however, has been a staunch advocate for adoption. It is a privilege for Oregon to hear the president's Btory first hand and it is this ' city's misfortune that he was not to be routed through here on his way to Portland. The state of Oregon will hear, and likely be convinced, and will lend whatever aid it can toward realization of the ideal of peace. I fcr long, are to be congratulated upon the step taken. Pendleton and Henry J. Tay- i lm hvp both nrofited bv their 40 years of constant associa tion. May they continue to share each other's good points for many more years.

" ABOUT THE STARS THRIFT. a"- INCE every man has ta- ken opportunity to place the blame for the pres ent prices of every commodity : in common use, there have been few to come forward with any share of blame for the in- dividual. The lion's share, of ; course, rests with the manufac turers, distributors and pro ducers, but the individual, also, is partly to blame. The lesson taught Americans in the recent war, that of thrift, had temporary life. During the emergency period every- one, from the mighty to the meek, saved and Fnared. Thrift was practiced as dili-iSCOTT WROTE VOLUME i,larlitrlit and Star Distances. We speak glibly of stars being' re moved so many light years from the earth but seldom -do we stop to think of the relative significance of the term. In the earlier days light was supposesd to be instantaneous and it is practically as far, as things terres Ually are concerned, but when applied to celestial objects we run against a time limit, so to speak. The discovery-was first made In observing the ocultations of the moons of Jupiter and was a surprise to the astronomers at that time. It has been determined that light travels at the rate of 186, 000 miles per second at which speed it would encircle the earth more than seven times In a single second, a high rata of speed, but not instantaneous. The moon, our nearest neighbor, is only 240.000 miles away and it re quires a little less than one and a third seconds for its light to reach us. The sun, which is approximately 73 mil lions miles away requires eight min utes for Its light to reach us. Thai? Is to say, when the sun Bets we see it eight minutea arter It had disappeared; the light that was on Its way at the Instant of its disappearance taking that long to reach us. Let us com nara it with the speed of a cannon ball to make It more intelligible. There be- ins no limit to- our imagination, let ns suppose that a great cannoa was placed on the Sun. and aimed at tne earth, when the gun is urea we would observe the flash eight min ute afterwards. Xearly nine years later the projectile would reach the earth giving us ample time to get be hind something and. at the expira tion of five more years we would hear th report of the gun. This lllustra- , tlon, however. Is for a short distance; what would we say of far away stars, those requiring from twenty years to twerrty thousand years for the Ilgnt to reach us? , j Feb. 2, and lie reckoned the minimum value of a book at J5.000. "Wood stock" was written In three months. and this book brought in no less than 140,000. The lots to be offered Include the autograph manuscripts of "Quentin Durward," "The Lord of the Isles" and "The Betrothed," and there will no doubt be keen competition for their possession. Much Interest Is taken in the proof, sheets of our leading ' writers, and some of Scott's are to be Included In the forthcoming sale. These include the complete sets of "The Fortunes of Nigel' and "Quentin Durward." and portions of "Ivanhoe." "The Legend of Montrose" and "The Bride of Lammermoor."
