Oregon As Independent Newipiper Published every trenlng except Sundej Telephone 81; news ti CBOKUB PUTNAM, Editor end PublUher Wheat Prices Only the inexorable economic law of supply and demand, fixes the price of wheat. We are constantly assured this by the Chicago Board of Trade and its members, its bankers and its press propagandists, who reap fortunes buying and selliiicf the world's food supply. It was a world wide scarcity, we were gravely informed, that three times in the past three months sent the price of wheat over $2 a bushel. Likewise it must have been an undiscovered surplus that sent it tumbling down again, as fast as it climbed. Almost daily for the past month, the fluctuations have been so violent as to force legitimate purchasers to withdraw from the market until it has been stabilized. Meanwhile the consumer is mulcted excessive and unnecessary prices for wheat products, without benefitting the producer, who long ago sold his crop. There is no secret concerning world production of wheat, :rop conditions, market demands, etc. Reliable international figures are compiled reflecting the actual output and on sumption. A short crop means higher prices, but it does not necessarily mean spectacular rises and sensational declines within a few minutes of each other. These are due to the grain speculators, who play the wheat pit like a gambling game and win or lose fortunes like roulette players, the only difference being that the public loses as well as the gamesters. M:iny efforts have been made to control marginal specula tion in grain and substitute a stabilized market, as for other products, but so far the grain gamblers have successfully resisted regulation and maintained their get-rich-quick swindle with its lure of great fortunes magically won and as speedily lost. Until the production is controlled, the market ing can not be. TODAY'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE HORIZONTAL I. To frUk ft. Hill of Kctuuie (itb.) 8. To loiter 9. Plaits for storing eraia 10.

Do you biamo me, my daughter, bee a us X am taking them? "But wo won't discuis these thine. Llilemay. All my life 1 have been thinking and planning, analyzing and comparing and dia ciwsing with myself my actions. Sow, 1 don't want to think about them at all. 1 don't want to think even about money. I just want to spend it, to make It fulfil) my Im pulses: I just want to act, dear, I don't want to think how J shall act. 'This morning however. Llile may, we have get to decide about omg home. Do you want to go back immediately to California or do you want to stay In New 1 ork for a Uttlo while?1' Llilemay turned quickly and threw her arms about her mother's neck. "I want to go home, mother, I want to go home. I want to see if the place I remember has chang ed as much as you have, mother dear." Although her daughter spoke with a smile, a hurt look passed over Mrs. Vatl's face. And then she ernlled and said: "I am afraid, my dear, that you will find your old home has changed as much as I and I expect it has changed in the same way. "The place where you were born Is only an old fie'd with great black derricks, the hum of mach inery and the raucous tones of workmen. All this is pervaded with the smell of crude oil. "The place that now you will have to call home is an estate which I bought In the foothills of Hollywood soon after you went away. "I think you will love my pink Indian villa Just as love me atter you get used to uj in our trans formed st.tte. "At first slfiht, however, you will be probably i s surprise I and dis-ippjlntcj with It as you were with your mother.' Mrs. Vail was hurt rtt Lillemny'.s frank expression f disappointment fn her but she tried to hide it a .he lightly kissed her daugiiler's cheek and told her th.it he was going to drees for breikf.:l. "Would you like to come to my suite for breakfast or will you havo It sent here?" she ruked. Lillemay answered: "i d love to breakfast with you, mother dear, and I ahall be down" In ten min A Mrs. Vail clewed the door, !ier daughter felt that in Si'ine way phe had been put outs;de her mother's loving arm and she won ilererl If Harold Kennedy hid told of their conversation of the nisht before.

Suddenly she determined to change her tactics, yhe picked up her hand glass and what she .iw tltere again gave her great cmir- ag-.

For the chief quality necessary in a professional reformer is to be two-thirds a bit of a humbug. The cleverest of the class even deceive themselves. These principles apply to all creeds and all parties. The public likes to be humbugged and hence the uplifter and the welfare worker, the humanitarian and altruistic reformer finds easy picking. As a people we are indifferent and lazy and hence fork-up willingly en masse for those wlio offer to do the uplifting for us. It is so much easier to delegate some willing worker to do the job than it ia to get busv ourselves. The phcnominal growth of luncheon and service clubs vhich furnish a forum for the reformer as well as tn propagandist, have greatly stimulated the profession of reformer, and as a result many fool laws have been added to the statute books for regulating the other lellow all o which furnish jobs for reformers at taxpayers expense. So fast has the profession of reformer and minder o r.Uw.1- nwiiilnV business increased that regular courses should be installed in all our colleges, for there is no easier nor mor lucrative calling.
