During the war, option trading was suspended. It was restored July 5, and the immediate result was a return to, the barbarous game of skinning the American farmer on the one hand and the American consumer on the other, by forcing down the price of wheat and other grains at the time of harvest, keeping them down until the farmer has sold, then raising them to the public the same old game that kept the farmer poor for decades. . In the first two weeks' operations in the grain pit, the price of wheat was depressed 45 cents a bushel. Since then the Euro pean war scare has forced a partial recovery, but with its passing, the price will again be hammered down to penalize the growers. Once the crop is out of the farmers hands and cornered by the conspirators, the price will be run. up to. exceed anything in the line of profiteering yet attempted not even excepting sugar. There is a world shortage of wheat. The United States crop is 12,G46,000 bushels shy of the average, and American needs are greater than ever. Russia, the great' producer and exporter, is out of the market. Argentina, America's greatest rival, is over sold. All the world needs wheat and all the world will be paying dearly for it before the next crop is harvested. There is no justification for an option market for gram, and no necessity for it. Other products are handled without any trad ing in futures. And' there is no reason for making grain an ex ception, when it has such an injurious effect upon the country Farming is hazardous enough without being made the sport of the gambler. '-; Congress should forbid grain gambling by boards of trade and provided a system for advancing money to growers, on elevator certificates. .Farmers should cooperate "in, marketing to free themselves from the speculator and profiteers and force action by congress else farming will again become unprofitable. jfCV HTTTTn BY ARTHUR SCOTT BA-I IEY Caught By A Thistle "You'll have to help me," Peppery Polly Bumblebee said to Freddie Firefly through the darkness.

August 23. i "We may pluy Aberdeen,1 Saturday 'and Sunday," state Kracke. The man ager of the Senators has not made def inite announcement as to Salem's twirl lug staff for the Beaver game, but fans are urging that Myers and Bishop be filled against the invaders. However, there is. no friction on this question, everyone being united In the desire to itot a pitcher here who can utilize the Nuptwrt of which the team is capable.

"Ole the Swede" at Heilig Theatre The original Dave Williams, playing the part of Ole, in the big three act flwedish comedy entitled "Ole the Swede" plays in Portland at the Heilig theatre for two days, Sunday and Mon day, August 22 and 23, and comes di rect from that engagement to the ttllgh theatre for one night only, Tues dav. August 24. . Ole is a sure cure for the. blues, be ihey caused by love, matrimony, or business, and the person who can. see ."Ole. the Swede" and not laugh. Is yet to be found. ' The simplicity and naturalness with which Dave Williams, the well known comedian plays Ole brings the laughs in quick succession every moment that be is on the stage. There are many reasons for the mover falling popularity of this clever Hwede play and one of them is, that it is never allowed to fall into low comedy or horse play. I Tennessee To the Rescue .. For half a century not much has been heard politically from Tennesseei The state that formerly played an important role in affairs and furnished three presidents and many of oiir illustrous statesmen, has been without influence in national life since the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson. Today, however, Tennessee stands redeemed, and enshrined in the hearts of the women of America for Tennessee, with true southern gallantry has rushed to the aid of women at the crucial hour, by ratifying the suffrage amendment to the federal con- situation, thus giving the 17,000,000 women of America political equality and a vote in the elections of 1920. Tennessee is the 36th state to take favorable action and sup plies the needed two-thirds majority necessary to put the amend ment into eiiect. Hereafter women will share with men the responsibilityes of government and help make the great experi ment oi democracy a success. The long battle waged for many years by a few courageous women, greeted for decades with jeers and derision, has been crowned with success. The cause for which so many brave women struggled - valiently for years, has triumphed, even though none of the gallant little band of pioneers survive to see the day of victory. And its triumph is due to the ideal of a square deal ; i a 3 ii t i a . . . mipianieu in me neart oi tne American people and as lone: as i- i i i .i , , , j . . . auun meais annimaie tne people, tne nation is safe.

I have all kinds of pea-green pains along my legs and back; but when a lot of Jakes and Janes are calling at my shack, on maladies I waste no words, I don't discourse of woes; I talk of hams and humming birds and cheerful thinks like those. A man is old when he be gins to talk of ailments dire, to sigh all day and toast his shins before a fitful fire. A man grows old when he is prone to boost the vanished time, to view the present with a groan, and swear it is a crime, if l should live eight hundred years, composmir hem- ful rhymes, as Noah and such propheteers hung on in ancient times, I'd still be young as I am now, though outwardly defaced, with heavy furrows on my brow, and whiskers to my waist.

She told me, however, that she had heard of Charles attentions to Ruth, and she thought that It would prove a very lovely thing If they would make a match. 1 rather hated myself, for a little pang because Charles had been so devoted to me for so -many years that I could not quite see him for the husband of any woman, even so charming and so good -a friend of mine as Ruth. And then I said to myself. "Katherlne, don't be a dog in the manger. Charles and Ruth are stone fireplace, have seen some and of course you of my Japanese prints. In rummaging over the attic of the old home I found an exquisite collection which had evidently been brought to mother by one of her sea faring ancestors. It was a find, I promise you." "Does John know how this room is going to be deoorated ?" asked Helen curiously as she looked upon the colonial paper, with which It was al ready hung. - - - ... , "No," I answered with a little smile which I could not suppress, be cause I knew In my own heart that Elizabeth Moreland had been decor particularly suited to each other, andatlng theae rooms 08tensU,,y tax me, he will make a lovely father to he ftnd that Bhe ,ike Helenj had decided three children." i ' that my taste would run to oolonial Helen said to me 4hat Ruth had furnlture and decorations, ana so she promised little Bobby that he should had put co,,,, paper oa the wftlIgt come to hr and him xatner very soon again. and she seemed quite happy gbout It After we had had a little talk Helen went with me over to the new house and seemed quite sur prised that I was going to have my great living room in oriental decora tions. As a Background "Why. Katherlne,' she exclaimed. "1 can't quite imagine you in any thing "but a colonial environment and yet," alia said, after a moment's hesitation, "I should know from your vivid, personality that, left to your self, you would want something of this kind-aa a background." t 'I am going te have the. walls of this room," I explained aa we entered.

T - ' Where did you find them. Kath erlne?" asked Helen curiously. Oh. 1 have, been picking up such things for years." I aaid. I have told no one about them, but lately. especially since I thought that I was to have a little money of my own, I took advantage of a chance to buy some very lovely things from a Chinese art collection belonging to one of my friends. . lilm-W and Gold Rrocat I have a wonderful piece of bUek and gr.ld brocade which is gun;g Kcro.sti ihat end of the Mom." point ing1 to the wall opposite the great thinking I would have no excuse to change it. . . . - , , 'I thought, ' oi - course,' you had asked Miss Moreland to decorate them for you.

"Only yesterday she told me she had never been 4n -the house." --i .--. . "Katherlne, why do you counten ance that woman ?' asked Helen In surprise.

' Since he was a person of his word he went straight back to the home of the Bumblebee family tn the mead ow. Being used to finding his way about after" dark, Freddie had no trouble reaching the - Bumblebees' home. ; But rousing the household was an entirely aitferent matter, Though he pounded his hardest at their door, none of the Bumblebee family heard him. Having always slept from sunset till dawn without once waking, they were wrapped in such heavy slumber that not one of them knew what was going on. To be sure, the family trumpeter who awakened the household each morning and was a somewhat lighter sleeper than the others the trum peter claimed afterward that she dreamed that she heard somebody at the door that night. But that was all the good that came of Fred die Firefly's efforts. . same circumstances. Helen?" I ksked.

Understand Trading Schooner Starts Trip North Tacoma, Wash. Bound for north ern Siberia to trade with "Eskimos, the little 68-ton power schooler Iskum left Tacoma recently with Captain "Kelly' Olson, veteran Alaskan navigator as master. The boat's prow was relnforc ed with boiler plate and her hull was sheathed with ironwood to protect her from the Ice she expected to buck. The Siberian Commercial company sent the Iskum north. Rifles, sugar, tea, tobao co, calico and trinkets of all kinds made up the koat's $30,000 cargo. The crew hoped to trade the cargo for skins, walrus Ivory and furs.
