OXTINUANCE of the government influence in wheat price fixing looms for another year, dispatches in the news from Washington say. The wheat corDoration sees danger at this time in throwing the wheat crop of the nation upon the open market to become the prey of the speculator or wheat baron. Government control was requested continued by Umatilla county wheat growers and the farm bureau in resolu tions adopted several weeks ago. Conditions have not yet stabilized sufficiently to permit wheat being placed upon the market at anybody s price. Gov ernment regulation of the minimum wheat price worked out successfully and its retention is desired by most of the growers. With the knowledge that they are to get a certain minimum price, growers feel more secure in going ahead with their plans for the coming year. Along the line of wheat and wheat prices, it was suggested in a recent editorial in the Chicago Daily News by well known wheat dealers, that the wheat pit be not reopened even if gov ernment control is allowed to end on June 1, as now provided for. The speculators who made their mark in the old days see danger in a return to conditions approximating the old while the country and the civilized world are still readjusting them selves. News of the retention of a government price guarantee would be welcome in Umatilla county and no doubt, the country at large.

SHE old mother who insisted upon darning the stockings at first hint of a hole was the real originator of the thrift movement. She found it more economical to sew up first causes than to patch up final ruins. The thriftiest procedure in life is the prevention of deteriora tion. If a thing is worth while, it is worth keeping up. In Oregon, the school system is an example of the need of a "stitch in time." - Without immediate help, they must and will within a year suffer a great disorganization and curtailment. Hundreds and hundreds of students must be turned away from our colleges. Their spirit of enthusiasm and progress must flicker and begin to go out; their equipment must break down still further; the stanards they have built up in recent years must suffer. Then after a few years, when the educational disaster has become fully apparent, the citizens of the state will be aroused by the loss and wiH spend huge sums to get back the ground. On May 21, each voter of Oregon has a chance to put in a "stitch in time" by voting for the Higher Educational Tax Act and the elementary school tax.

The prizes were four reserved seat tickets as first prize, with two reserv ed seat tickets for each of the other winners. led for service nion as a whole and not only for Its members, a great many service men are expected to re ciproeate by joining the Legion now. The Leffion has helped to secure preference for ex-service persons and their widows in civil service aimolnf- mcnts and special preference for the disabled. The four-fold compensation bill for all ex-service persons, now before con- arcss Is familiar to all as being the 'OR persons who have capital seeking investment at the present time, bonds present a very attractive as well as safe means. The situation as summed up by Clews' Fi nancial Review, of New York, is briefly, as follows : Not only stocks but bonds have now been reduced to a point at which they offer very handsome investment yields. Bond int dexes for the past month show a record low figure. Libert bonds have been exceptionally low in price and what is true of them is true in similar degree of the best railroad and industrial issues. The effect of recent large corporate financing at very high rates has been that of materially raising the market value of money. -is1fWWPSIISHP Perhaps there has not been a time in many years at which investments could be made with so striking a combination of protection and large yield as at present This is true not only of bonds but it is also obviously true of some of the better grades grades of stock issues. The tremendous demand for crfpital which is shown in the enormous output of new securities which has occurred during the past month and earlier creates practi callv a comnetitive market for savings. In one way this situa tion tends to prevent the early advance of bonds and conserva tive stocks to higher values, but it also emphasizes trie wortn cf well selected issues as compared with those of less certain yield, in view pf the very high returns which can be obtained even on extremely conservative Investments. One effect of this condition of affairs should be to stimulate the outside public in its purchases and during the past week there has been considerable evidence of such a change, much investment buying being reported. Many a woman's1 makeup prevents her from holding the mirror up to na- ture. - Spent Money Foolishly. "I have been a great sufferer from stomach trouble and gall stones.

When a man buys groceries he likes to begin at the olgar stand. their chief enemy will be none other than old General Inertia.
