Editor: I am wondering If everyone who saw in yimr paper of the 27th of October, the picture of the "Goat or 1925 taxpayer," felt that It expressed tbeir senti ments as it has mine. This means nine dollars on every thousand dollar's worth of property. I can- benefit Portland. If Portland wants this fair let them sell stock and build it. Every state In the union would endorse It to get rid of the thousands of undesirables that are found to be responsible fin' go much crime. What does Portland do to help Lincoln county to make a safe har bor? This Is coming before the voters of Portland November 19th. Thousands of whom do not own a dollars worth of property. I can not understand why it had not been discussed more in our local papers. Are they waiting to get an expression from the people? Well, here Is mine. "Property Owner' Dollar Wheat The Associated Press yesterday carried the following dispatch : Chicago, Not. 3. For the first time .since 1915, wheat today dropped- to below $1 a bushel. All grain, with the exception of May corn, declined to the lowest level this season following wheat, for which there appeared to be no adequate support. Thus the "normalcy" price, advocated in the campaign by President Harding, has been reached within a year following his election one of the constructive accomplishments of his administration, though he is not likely to brag about it. When farm products began to hit the toboggan, the bril liant statesmen at Washington rushed through the Fordney emergency tariff bill imposing a high duty upon wheat and other farm's products to "protect the American farmer from the pauper labor of Europe," claiming that the tariff would restore high prices in the United States for farm products. This also was hailed as a "great construction accomplish ment." Despite the Fordney tariff, however, the price of wheat and other farm products has steadily slumped. Indeed it has not been affected favorably by the tariff rather the con trary as retaliatory embargoes by foreign countries have curtailed the farmers foreign markets. The price of wheat and other products of which a surplus is produced for export is fixed by the laws of supply and demand in the world mar kets and not by tariffs. The tariff has not even diminished the export of wheat from Canada. Canadian wheat is purchased by the big mil iers as formerly, because needed in making fancy flour, and the tariff is paid by the consumer, including the farmer, in highes prices for flour and bread stuffs. Probably by this time the farmer understands that the Fordney tariff is a political gold-brick handed him to procure his reciprocal support -for a tariff beneficial to trusts and profiteers. At any rate dollar wheat in Chicago, is a reminder. WW I Rm-nrrTf 'amdS BY (J)7Km you eat vi o. cevf eiari a. you ca.n. tip yoursatf.

Watson 's Charges Senator Tom Watson of Georgia has made in the senate a turbulant attack upon the administration of the army in France declaring that American soldiers were hanged with out trial or court-martial and shot down like dogs by officers. He has refused to submit evidence to prove his charges to a senate committee and declares that he will make his case in the open senate, and to this end has read in the senate num erous letters containing accusations based upon gossip and hearsay. One of the Watson charges is to the effect that twenty-one American soldiers were "hanged like dogs" on a single gallows at Geivres, France. Army officers, in charge at Geivres, declare that but one man was hanged there, and he was tried and convicted of a brutal and premediated murder. Concerning the charges, General Pershing declares them "the most outrageous and untrue accusatione that could possibly be made and absolutely without foundation." When Senator Watson's character and personality are considered, the charges should surprise no one. During the war he was a rabid pro-German and openly fought the draft. He owes his political success to appeals to social, racial and religious prejudices. He is an advocate of lynch ing, is a negro-hater, a Jew baiter and anti-Catholic, and nis support comes irom the worst elements of society. Altogether he is the best example of the unbalanced dema gogue in the senate and his presence there is evidence of its decudence. oputor- -thaw God's.

"I hope it will make my success, Mrs. Watkins, for, as I have told you, I hope to be a great moving picture actress." "Did you hear that, Beacham?

Tomorrow Los Antreles Wrestler Offers To Meet Anyone In Match Tonight creased from 1326 in September, 1920, to 2052, an increase of ap proximately 33 1-3 per cent. California leads in numerical numbers, having S90 in 1920 and increasing to 2545 In the year. This increase was largely due to the fact that California started their quota in 1920 and was able to take advantage of the new units authorized by the war department.

English Visitors Oh, how 1 wanted to know this man and girl who ,iat In the seat lu front of me. I hud so many ques tions I wanted to ask them. I was too shy then to speak to them and they were too much en grossed In each other to notice me During the day I learned that Tom, as the little bride culled htm, was hoping to gel a position as publicity writer at some of the studios until ha could sell some oi bis scenarios which he had written Nell expected to get a part in lb? picturo with a director with whom she had aoiue slight acquaintance "I am ao glud I have a nlc( wardrobe," said Nell. "In pictures I am told, one needs even more clothes than on the stag. We will get one of those little kitch enette apartmenta. I can get our breakfasts every mornlug and our dlnnera If I have time." "Oh, Nell, dearest, I don't be lieve that any man had as aweet a wife as you." I stirred uneasily in my scat. I wished he wouldn't talk that way to her. It made me almost wish I hadn't come. Kddie Montforth had often said to me that I was the sweetest Kill In (he world ami I remembered the little soft glow that alwaya warmed my heart as I heard him. Would I ever hear it again? Then a little imp nt will hear it again. Don't got chicken-hearted now. You came away because you didn't want to help Aunt Virginia and the ser vants get interminable dlni.ers and breakfasts for grandfather. You are going to be a great mov ing picture actress. Keep that In mind and let nothiug deter you from getting there." I was so interested In the snatch es oi conversation I heard th.nl I didn t realize I was doing a inenn and underhanded thing. I had oven iorgotten that I was hungry anu that it was dinner time until Mrs. Watkins came through the car again. "What have you been doing with yourself, Miss Winston? This Is the second day out and you haven't been to see the baby and me once. I really should be angry wun you. out instead I am going! to ask you to come and sit at my table and talk to me. I am horrl bly bored with only the nurse for a companion. And beside. I want to show you a real, live lord." What do you mean, a real, live lord?" I asked stupidly. "Why, there is a titled English man on the train who Is making leisure tour of the conll'.ent. They say he is going to Corouado to spend the winter and that he has a halt dozen polo ponies with him. He has just gone into the "Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels." Isa. 47-13. Israel was in trouble. In a general way Bhe knew what her ailment was, but was boo mulish to apply the real remedy a re turn to the law of Moses and the advice of the prophets. As Isaiah says, in so many words, Israel consulted the "astrologers, sooth Thus we see that at least 26 0.0 years ago, credulous souls paid good sayers and monthly prognostlcators,", and the affliction deepened, money for bad advise from "astrologers, soothsayers and prognos tlcators," whose heirs and legatees survive. Individuals love to go to the fortune tellers, and so do governments and nations. The astrologer may be the penny montebank, ignorant and pitifully crude, or It may be the elegant personality with ornate offices and a wonderful line of fatry tales as to what the stars say. The Soothsayer may be the law -dodging crook, male or female, who fattens on the deluded fools who oft come from mansions, or they ma be wiseacres In high places. The monthly prognosticate may be the fakirs who peddle horoscopes and similar twaddle, or the gentleman who by charts and red lines Indicating trends or portends, separates the gullible from legal tender. It all Is the same. Israel found tho multitude of counsel very embarasslng when troubles came and awakened teo late. America has fiddled and still dallies with astrologers and soothsayers and monthly prognostlcators. Foolish, vain trust. Evidence is extant to prove the existence of these frauds and chalatans In Palestine in Isaiah's time and their work is apparent today. The results of the work of the work of the early members of the clan may be found, and we have but to look around us to see the results of following the present day quacks. The people and government of Israel spurned God and came to grief and were wearied to exhaustion. I Quality Meats for Less At At mr I If lA h! 1 .1 'Q lur,.. Phone 1421 173 S. Commercial!
