Last evening the Commercial Association board of man agers found not less than 50 cars parked in and around the camp ground in the east end of town. They were told that was about the usual run of business. If so, then motor car travel means more to the city from a passenger standpoint than do the railroads. That is saying much because over 20 passenger trains enter and leave the city each day. .But when people travel by train they do not stop in the city unless this place is their destination. The motor car tourist does stop. This is a natural terminal point for auto travel. It is a one day's drive from Spokane, also from Portland, and when the Oregon trail is completed it will be a one day's drive from Southern Idaho. As financial conditions grow better, as roads are improved and more people get cars motor travel will increase to an extent scarcely comprehendable now. This Mill be particularly true during the year of the exposition in Portland. In days gone by most any town would get excited over the coming of a railroad, particularly a transcontinental road. A live town would move heaven and earth to secure such transporta tion facilities. Pendleton raised a big bonus, something like $60,000, years ago to get what is now the Northern Pacific branch line from Pasco. We have always catered to the O. W. K. ti N. Co. like it was a god from Olympus. But motor car travel, even at present, brings more people and more money to the city than two transcontinental railroads. The motor tourist not only stops but he can stay as long as he wishes. He has to eat and he naturally spends money for other purposes. He causes a constant stream of outside cash to flow into the city. Furthermore, many of the tourists are seeking new homes. Often they are people of means, prepared to lo cate if they like a place, or return later on. Common business sense calls for looking after these people and causing them to lorm a good impression of the city. The more we do that the more tourists we will have here and the more money we will get. It is not a charitable proposition at all. It is a question of serv ing ourselves. A modern business house does not maintain a presentable establishment and render good service out of chrr iry to its customers. It does so because it is good business and it would be bad business not to do so. The same principle ap plies to the case of our motor travellers. We can neglect the traveller if we wish and be entirely within our rights but we will pay the price. Don't forget it. The problem of building up this city as a terminal point for motor car travel is as important a task as Pendleton ever faced but we can handle it and will handle it if we awake to the plain facts and thenvact with our characteristic pep. NICKELS VERSUS DOLLARS Ti RESIDENT ACKERMAN'S views on the normal school m question are similar to the views of most people who un derstand the subject Instead of exaggerating he spoke with extreme conservatism on the topic of new normal schools. Within a few years there will be no escape from the problem because laws now in effect will force a situation that the school at Monmouth will not be able to handle. But in reality there is no need for waiting for that time to come because the state right along is losing both in money and school efficiency by not providing a school in Eastern Oregon and one in Southern Oregon. The case is simply one of increas ing demand and inadequate supply. If this same situation ex isted in a private industry the remedy would be provided. In the case of teachers the loss is to the general public and the loss is so distributed that many do not realize the state of affairs. However, the people are always open to enlightenment and if really shown the facts would vote for one or more new nor mal schools at the first opportunity. The responsibility is chief ly upon the shoulders of the Portland newspapers. If the Port land will but awaken to the simple, fundamental facts of the sit uation they can correct the trouble very quickly. By the same token they can by indifference or opposition greatly prolong a tatc of affairs under which Old Man Oregon loses dollars by squeezing nickels. Educators who believe seriously in the view that country children and country town children as well as city children are entitled to the benefit of instruction from trained teachers may well address themselves to those who conduct the Portland press. IT PAYS TO INSURE RjrORTS of the costly fire at Myrick show that considerable of the grain stored there was not insured. This seems ex traordinary because most farmers and businessmen now understand the value of insurance. It means playing safe and it is worth money to be protected. In the case of life insurance Eioney expended for premiums is actually invested because a man's estate is sure to be the gainer sooner or later if the poli cies are continued. There was a time when monev exnmrfed for insurance wan regarded as an extravaganco ; nowadayg the I man who docs not carry adequate insurance on both life and! juvporty may wvU be regarded, as reckless, Alice JC.

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MEN START WORK OF HARVESTING 56,714,000 ACRES OF WHEAT After Threshing ' and Milling This Acreage Will Yield 36, 461,600,000 Lbs. of Flour. KANSAS CITY, Mo.. June 29. The world's bread-basket is about to be refilled and filled to overflowing. To day harvesters are at work in the great wheat fieUls of Texas, Oklaho ma, Kansas and Missouri, and the cut ting of the ripening uraln has begun. Harvesting machinery in the brond ex panses of the southwest is beginning to hum the first notes of a swelling symphony of "Hack to Normalcy." Unemployment problems In this re gion bid fair to be solved by the har vesting of the wheat crop, which is Just getting under way. Binders and headers have entered "early" fields iti all four states. Already the harvest ing. is under way in the wheat belt of the southwest as far north as Abilene, Kansas, and Sedalia, Missouri.' Throughout central and niTTth Texas the click of the harvesters and the machine-gun crackle of the tractor en gines are singing the song of golden grain. Within a few weeks hundreds of thousands of men will be enanged in garnering the west's SG,744,uo0-acre wheat harvest. After threshing and milling, this acreage will yield 36.461, 600,000 jioundn of flour. And, baked into bread of the old fashioned but re cently revived kjnd, this gigantic flour bin will make 4 1,753,800 loaves of the staff of life. Wheat growers are happy nt this harvest time. For the first t-me in years the "harvest band" problem, ex cept in certain small localities, dors not exist. Into the Southern belts thousands of unemployed have found Jobs in the wheat fields. Thousands of others are arriving and are being put to work. Through Texas and Oklahoma they will follow the "tracks of the bull wheel," gradually working to the northern fields, and each state, as its crop ripens, will, it is believed, have plenty of help to harvest the crop. In Kansas, which probably employs moro wheat-field workers than any other state, the call for midsummer hired help is Just about to be sounded, and labor agencies believe that there will he no shortage of help. War-time wages havi disappeared, too, and the harvest hands will work for lower lower wages than the last few years, 'rices paid for help vary, but In many sections J3 per day and board is the prevailing scale, although in many sections lower wages are jiaid and accepted. Swimming Suits To dart through the water like a mermaid to do all the things that "big brother" can do unhampered by loose skirts and blouses. That is the joy of swimming to those who wear Janjtzens. A pure wool suit with patented features of tailoring the Jantzen never binds never sags always fits. And the Jantzen stitch makes it cling closely and hold its shape as long as the suit lasts. It's this stitch origi nated bv Jantzen which has modernized the yfvlilW bathing suit.
