BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his command
ments, which I command thee this dan, that it may go well
with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou
mayest prolong thy days vpon the earth, which the Lord thy
God (jiveth thee, for ever. Deuteronomy .',:.',0.
The Loganberry
J. nose wtio have thought the day of the loganberry past,
have another guess coming, according to official figures of
the norhwest fruit and vegetable pack for 1924. These show
that not only were more loganberries canned last year than
in previous history, but that more were canned than apples
or pears, and more than blackberries, strawberries and rasp
berries combined.
In 1924, there were 366,073 cases of loganberries canned
and all sold as against 220,673 in 1923, 2G8.304 in 1922,
227,482 in 1921, 195,075 in 1920 and 204,022 in 1919. Last
year the total pack of blackberries was 170,677 cases of
strawberries 91,103 cases, of raspberries 89,612.
The great bulk of loganberries have in the past, as with
other berries, cherries, etc., been barrelled, or dried, or used
for juice, but the steady growth of the cannery output
proves that the loganberry is hoie to slay and growing in
favor as a canned product, and while the large grower
perhaps cannot produce them profitably at prevailing prices,
the small grower can and does. So the loganberry patch will
remain as one ot the assets of diversified farming.
Why Discrimination?
According to official figures, the Southern Pacific oaid
$1,338,097.40 taxes in Oregon in 1924, or 3.14 percent of
au taxes levied in the state, and 7.31 percent of the total
taxes of counties in which it operates.
What did the motor truck and bus lines, which are trav
ersing these same counties destroying the highways, pay?
Nothing.
The Southern Pacific paid 121,357.52 or 0.G8 percent of
the taxes in Marion county, $10,773.83 or 7.17 percent of the
taxes in Polk county, $90,532.2G or 8.05 percent of the taxes
in Linn county, and in some counties, like Douglas, it paid
. as high as 17.80 percent of the total tax.
What percent of the Marion or .other county tax did the
motor truck and auto bus lines that are destroying county
as well as slate highways pay? Not even one-half of one
percent.
The Southern Pacific is only one of several railroads, such
as the Oregon Electric, Union Pacific, Spokane-Portland &
Seattle, etc., that pay taxes, furnish payrolls, and purchase,
build and maintain their own rights of way for public service.
Motor truck and auto bus lines pay no taxes and build and
maintain no right-of-way, but utilize the $00,000,000 high
way system of the stale, which they are pounding to pieces
at public expense for private gain.
Why should we soak the tax-paying railroads, who utilize
their own properly for public service and let off scot free non
taxpaying motor trucks and auto busses utilizing public
properly for private profit?
Why should anyone sign the petition to referend the
proposed very light tax upon motor trucks and auto busses
to provide a repair fund lo partially make good deslruclion
caused, and thus permit free destruction for two years more?
If yotl have signed this referendum petition, under mis
apprehension, request your name be eliminated.

OP IICSTIUJAY'S
Italy's Anniversary
Ten years ajro today Italy entered (he world war with a
declaration against Austria, although bound by the triple
alliance to assist Germany and Austria, a treaty which she
had repudiated three weeks before.
Italy entered the war as a result of a bargain made with
the allies. Tn addition to concessions agreed to by Austria,
tho allies promised Italy post-bellum sovereignty over
Trieste, the larger part of the 1'almatian coast and the
Dtiodocancso in return for active cooperation against Austria.
These terms had been incorporated in the treaty of London
signed May !), 11)15.
Though apparently actuated by greed rather than princi
ple in joining the entente, it was really pressure of public
opinion against Italy's traditional enemy, Austria, which
forced the Italian government to enter the war, and naturally
to nialie the best possible bargain for Italy in the process.
Italy's participation diverted from the French and Kussian
f rents a large part of the enemy's forces and hence had the
effect of prolonging the struggle and exhausting the enemy,
although the initial campaigns woie failures and ended
disastrously for Italy. However, in the final campaign, the
Austrians were completely routed. Ouring the conflict
5,t"0,000 Italians were mobilized, of which KHVHK) were
killed, 017.000 wounded and l.rV.C.OOO taken prisoners, the
total casualties being 2,800.000.
Torn between fascists and communists, ruled by a dictator,
who has ruthlessly overridden the constitution and usurped
tinwnr TtiiK-'l lump for the future lies in the wisdom and
sanity of her king, Victor F.mmanucl, whose record bears
out the pledge he made when he ascended the throne a
quart "r of a century ago upon the assassination of his father.

"When ITgot Mr. Jordan on tho
telephone and told him who I was,
he was even more surprised than
I'd expected.
"Why, little Nancy!" he exclaim
od. "How delightful? Are you go
Inff to be a sweet child and let
me take you to luncheon?"
I loathe being called a "sweet
child," especially by a man I hard
ly know. Hut then, it was all in
a pood cause, . I reminded niyHelC!
"Yea, that's exactly what I'm go
ing to do," I told him. "I want
you to give me some good ail vice."
"About your mother's invest
ments?" he u.sked, his tone a bit
colder.
"No, indeed about a friend of
mine and some affairs of the
heart," I answered.
"Oh that's more interesting,"
Come downtown at once, and I'll
be waiting for you."
I couldn't help wondering what
the'people in his office thought. I
was quite sure that the switchboard
operator had listened!! while we
talked; no doubt she thought I
was Just another of his chorus girl
friends, trying to get him to do
something for me.
I was not using Frank Harri
son's car that day I never used
it when I could help it! I took
the subway downtown and then
took a taxi the few blocks to Mr.
Jordan's office, so that I wouldn't
have a big taxi bill to pay. 1
wouldn't have taken a cab at all
but I was afraid that he'd be wait
ing at the door for me.
That was exactly what he was
doing. I paid the man in a hurry
and ran across the sidewalk to the
door of t ho office building.
"Why didn't you wait and let
me pay the cab?" he asked as we
.diook hands.
"Oh, I like to be Independent,"
I told him. That was true enough,
though it's a luxury that I can't
indulge in if much money is in
volved. When ho had ordered luncheon
and had a cocktail, 1 began to tell
him what I'd wanted to see him
about I didn't give any names, but
told him of the predicament his
own wife was In -that she didn't
get on well with her hiusband, who
went around with other woman
and didn't appreciate her, that kIu
was on the verse of divorcing him.
though she still eared for him, and
marrying a young bounder who
would certainly take ull her money
and then leave her.
"And he may not even do that,"
T went on. "He may just involve
her in some situation that makes
it possible for him to blackmail
her, and then make her pay him
heavily, and go away. Of course, in
a way that would be better, be
cause if she marries hlni she's sure
to be unhappy, but she in such a
lovely person that I feel that 1
must save her from the whole
thing. I.-n't there some way of
doing It? Can't you help me?".
Now, he was like most men
the thought of beauty i" distress
appealed to him. If I had told him
it was his own wife, he pr-mahly
wouldn't have been so eager. lint
this unknown, beautiful woman
brought out his sense of chivalry
at once.
"If I were you, I'd let the young
blackmailer involve her in thfe
situation, and then let the husband
know. Make him come to the
rescue," he advised. "Jf he docs 1
still care for his wife, as you say;
he does, that will be enough for
him."
"Oh, that's exactly the thing to!
do," I exclaimed. "Of course how!
clever you are!
Ho smiled delightedly, And I
wondered for the hundredth timo
why a man like him should be ao
susceptible to flattery.
Ho urged me to go driving Willi
him that uf.tcrnoon, but I had.
other Irons tn the fire. I rushed
home, and found Virginia having
tea with Frank Harrison. They
assured mo that they'd been just
waiting for me that they'd

them to the Ztiloaga exhibition
later. That amused mo I wo
dored how long It would bo 1

Virginia looked lovely. Nobodv
would have .suspected that she w;
the mother of a grown-up daugl

"Frank is entertaining son;
