By WALT MASOJf THE PANIC. - The wlite men now predict a panic before this year grows old; there'll be catastrophes titanic by Autumn, we are told. The wise men hand us, through their fares, of all sad news the worst; the present boom has no nnund basis, and It Is bound to burst. Then there'll be coming. fast and fast er, all kind of perils dire; the doc will pawn his mustard plastor, the bard will soak his lyre. Then Biddy boys who now are burning the costly brands of gas will be for handouts vainly yearning they'll have to feed on grasn Ho now. while coin seems rather plen ty, lot's make the strongbox thrive, and f-.very month salt down a twenty, or maybe twenty-ffve. Let's do some wise nnd cautious planning against tho time of stress, and when we see the panic panning we will survive, I guess. And if the panic doesn't reach ua we'll be ahead our store; and saving some will surely teach us the way to save soma mora. Mexican, Stock Industry Injured By Revolutions HI Paso, Tex., Jan. ,81.

Of course, there was a time, once sister all of them, like him. much spotted with black he lived in a house in one of Farmer Green s trees. ,m4 f A J ANEW political party has been launched in Salem, the Land and Labor League, by radical leaders of organ ized labor and the state grange, for the purpose of unit ing workmen and fanners to secure fundamental changes in government. Nearly all of the proposed legislation endorsed by the League's platform, has in the past decade been submitted to the people of Oregon by initiative measures fathered bv the organizers of the league, individually or by groups, w?ftt Qnrna nt frio T5(nio rtamnnrls hnVf been when Jolly Robin was Just a nestling cuiu itjcvi r&- " , . , , "'himself.

The people have refused to abolish the senate, reius ed to establish a department of industry and public works, have rej'ected measures to socialize public utilities and es tablish state marketing system. The demand for voting by mail places a premium on Iazyness. Changed condi tions may have wrought a change in sentimentthat re mains to be seen. The "kevnote" of the platform is the extension of the direct primary to the initiative, referendum and recall. This would enable any person to submit an Initiative bill at a primary, when a majority vote would place it on the ticket at the general election. It would make popular legislation easy by eliminating th? expense of securing thousands of signatures, now necessary. Every one can father legislation under the League's plan when every man will be his own legislator. However, the platform is admittedly a compromise designed to effect a merger of labor and farm interests, and when union of these elements i3 completed, and far mers and workmen hitched together, the team is expected by the organizers to pull state socialism to victory. 4 m w Organized labor and the farmer have so few interests in common and so many conflicting, that any attempts to unite them politically seems doomed to failure at least in Oregon. As well talk of politically uniting the employ er and employe. Labor is interested chiefly m higher wages and shorter hours, both of which injure the farmer for they impede production and curtail profit. They lure his help to the city and force a reduced output from his land. The farmer is the chief victim of the short day and excessive wage. Nor has the farmer, the un-American "class con sciousness of the radical labor agitator a relic of old- world serfdom. On the contrary, he has the conservatism of the property holder, and the viewpoint of the employ- er. This week representatives of the National Grange and affiliated farmer organizations, representing four million fanners, gathered in convention at Washington and demanded the speedy return of railroads to private ownership and protested against nationalization of indus try in any form. Representatives of organized labor at the same time demanded an extension of federal control of railroads and the passage of the Plumb bill, showing fundamental difference in views that will make a political alliance of labor and farmers impossible. 0 I f r v - MOT hTGCM ffly By ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY The house was made of grass and leaves, plastered on the inside with mud, and lined with softer, finer grass, which his mother had chosen with the greatest care. But Jolly never paid much atten tion to his first home. What interest ed him more than anything else was food. From dawn till dark, he was al ways cheeping for something to eat. And since the other children were Just as hungry as he was, those four growing babies kept their parents busy finding food for them. It was then that Jolly Robin learned to like angle worms. And though he ate greedily of insects and bugs, as well as wild ber ries, he liked angleworms best. - Jolly and his sister and his brothers could always tell when their father Kclckk Reported KiSed On Bayonets Of boldiers London.

The Moscow wireless service today transmitted an extract from an article from the bol shevik organ Pravda, stating: "Only a few days ago supreme rul er Kolchak was hoisted on his sold iers' bayonets." or their mother brought home some dainty, because the moment the par- the best ent lighted upon the limb where the pened to Jolly and his sister and necks and stretching of orange-colored mouths. . Sometimes, when the dainty w specially big, Mr. and Mrs. Robin would say. "Cue! Cuck!" That meant "Open wide!" But they seldom found it necessary to give that order. Somehow, Jolly Robin managed to eat more than the rest of the nest lings. AndT so he grew faster than the others. He soon learned a few tricks, too. For Instance, if Mrs. Robin hap pened to be sitting on the nest, to keep her family warm, when Mr. Rob i tmei with a lunch for the child ren. Jolly had a trick that he playeoTI on his mother, in case she didn't move off the nest to suit him. He would whisper to the rest of the children. And they would Jostle their fond parent, lifting her lip above them and sometimes almost upsetting hrr, so that she had hard work to keep from falling off the nest. Mrs. Robin did not like that trick very well. But she knew that Jolly would not annoy her with it long. In deed, he was only eleven days old when he left his birthplace and went out in to the wide world. You see, the young folk grew so fast that they soon more than filled the house. So there was nothing their parents could do but persuade them to leave home and learn to fly. One day, therefore, Mr. Robin did not brini; his children's food to the edge of the nest and drop it Into their mouths. Instead, he stood on the limb a little distance away from them and showed them a plump angleworm. The sight of that dainty was more than Jolly Robin could resist. He scrambled boldly -out of the nest; and tottering up to his father on his wob bling legs, he snatched the tempting morsel out of his proud parent's bill. Jolly never went back to the nest after that. The next day Mrs. Robin coaxed the other children from home in the same fashion. And though it may seem a heartless act, It was really thing that could have hap- his Bicycle Tires You will find them here Just the kind you'll want that will give you maximum service at a mini- The city council of Marshfieu ha ordered all box, in restaur moved, declaring there shall be more partitions in eating houses.

"Nothing more than a polite Inter est In my health and the hope that I will soon be well again." "l,et in see It," demanded my hus band holding out his hand, Ills peremptory command angered me. "I shall do nothing of the kind. It is my letter. You have seen fit to keep the others from me. This one I shall hold myself." "Olive me that letter." For answer I tore It into small pie ces. "So there's something In these let ters that 1 must not seel" he said, and he opened the others quickly and glanced through them. As he read he evidently grew little ashamed of himself, for In the letter which I had read from Karl Shepard there waa literally nothing more than I had told him, and, of course, the others were similar. - After he had finished all of them ho threw them down on the bed, say ing. "I ean't understand why you should milk a mountain out of a mole hill In this way. There Is nothing in Hhepard's letters that I might not tttki." "Did for you for one moment think there might be?" "Well, you acted mighty queer." "I can return the compliment" Something Queer About It. "When a man see eight or ten let ters In a hand he recognises as that of hla man friend, addressed to his wife, he is apt to think there Is something queer about It.

"Well, here's one In her hand writ ing addressed to you." said John as he picked out a striking looking envelope ornamented with a stunning crest. I made no move to take It.

John, until I can rend them alone I don't want to have my cor respondence doled out to me as you aee tit:" was "I thInkou're getting better, if the old adage Is true that convalescents are always Irritable. However, I won't bother you with either my scrutiny of your letters or of you for much long er.1 He brushed the envelopes carelessly across the bed and I caught view ot my name written in Helen Van Ness' angular chlrography. "Oh, let me see that one!" I m clnlmed. Looks At It Carefully. Instead of handing It to me, John turned the letter over In his hands; looking at It carefully. "I don't recognise the hand writing." he said. "Hut I do! It s from Helen!" "Helen who?" "Why, Helen Van Ness, of course.
