Ford and the Farm
Henry Ford is out with un attack upon the farm and
farmers generally. He asserts that the farmers' toil is waste
and food production ideas are all wrong. He predicts that
farms in the future will he larger and run more systematic
ally and says the little farmers will have to go, as back num
bers. "Why," he asks, "do we need farmers any way?"
It is the cow, however, that evokes most of Mr. Ford's
criticism. He declares:
l ilon-t IK'llcvo In dairy cows. They nre the most Inefficient
cic.uuros in uio world. Why should a farmer spend a lot of time
tciirtiiig u hunch of cows? It takes only 20 days of actual farm work
to grow and harvest the crops on a dairy farm. The rest of t lie lime
is spent tlikiiiB care of the animals. It's all wrong. Soiueouo will
invent a way to malte milk synthetically. It will l,e cheaper and hot
ter than the milk we have now. You know, I don't believe much in
milk as a food unyhow.
Mr. Ford's idea of the perfect life is that of a factory,
with humanity mechanized, standardized and synthetically
fed. In his own factories he sacrifices toilers to moving
belt efficiency which so exhausts their vitality that human
wrecks are turned out almost as rapidly as flivvers.
Nature must be very sinful in Mr. Ford's eyes, for nature
is the most wonton of wasters. In fact nature teaches what
Mr. Ford cannot comprehend, that waste is a necessary
function of production and that without waste, production
would soon cease.. Moreover nature refuses to standardize
production and never makes any two things alike, whereas
Mr. Ford would standardize even humanity,'
White-Washers?
Me, Milt and Myers come pretty nearly being the
Democratic parly in Oregon. Whenever there is anything
with expenses guaranteed, Milt is the man of the hour. So
we find the gonial "Sage of Lebanon" on pretty nearly every
commission and as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo
tentiary to distant gatherings furnishing round-trip tickets.
When however, "my administration" and "my policies" are
at issue, an S. O. S. call brings Myers to the rescue.
When, as a result of Ku Kluxing the prison, discipline is
banished from the institution and three are killed in a suc
cessful break and there is loud and vigorous outcry against
the management, who can white-wash Waller belter than his
old chum Jeff aided and assisted by one who holds office by
grace of the governor? So Myers is as much on the job as
Cleaver's pooch was on the manhunt.
If Governor Pierce doesn't know what the matter is with
the prison, the people have the advantage over him, for the
coroner's public investigation of the prison break was wry
thorough and revealed the sorry story in detail. It doesn't
need any special invesligalors in inform it as to the why
and wherefore of prison turmoil and Mr. Myers will have his
hands full white-washing the administration even with the
assistance of the hero of the battle of the windshield.

"No. lust cook and a second

"I'll be n'd to help on to bed if

Mrs. Hewitt did b't her; in f:irt,

complicated services (hat it was

free to do anything el?;e,
Andrew had Installed Cregory

Uprawled on the couch In his den;
when oho finally joined him
Patricia tirdressed In the mald'rt
bathroom, nnd then hurried to th
kitchen, her libit mm drawn clone
nhout her, to Investigate the re
frlgerntor.
It wns a discouraging night
There were the oranges for Patri
cia' breakfast, bacon, cheese, some
leltiiee, nothing else. Nothing to
make hush of and Gregory He
witt hnd asked especlall.v for hash!
"I'll have to get up even earlier

was imitating Ulalc Jon is, and iom
body else was singing the song hit
of "The Scandals."
Patricia slept but little, and was
up and out so early that nono of
Iho stores were open. Hut she
found that she could buy tinned
hash, which tent her Into the
seventh heaven of happiness.
"I'll have It baked In Individual
dishes, with a slice of tomato nnd
a poached effg on top," sho decided
as she ran home. "And I can neat
the baker's roll In the oven, so 1
won't have to mnko muffins oh,
it won't be so bad."
It ii t it was worse than sho had
expected. Sho slipped Into the back
dour in time to hear Andrew say
ing: "I can't Imagine where those

soon; she often (joes for an early
morning walk."
Patricia went to bis rescue,
found the extra bath towel, res
cued Mrs. Hewitt, who was prowl
ing through Uio ball, hunting for
the kitchen .she had a bad head
ache, she told Patricia, and wanted
hot water and bicarbonate of soda.
Patiicia got it for her and went
hack to the kitchen.
She was opening the tin of hash
when a lb-.ht tapping on Hie kit
chen door slarllcd her. Gregory
Hewitt's head appeared as Hie
door swung back,
"Are ymi gelling the breakfast

meekly.
"The cook's ;;one to her brother's
wedding, and the second maid went
with her," she answered.
"And this- this is the hash?"
waving his hand toward the tin.
Again she nodded.
"You w-oTild have it," she remind
I him. "There was nothing In the
house to make it of; Andrew and
I havn't dined at home for a
week."
"Now see here; I'm going to
help you do this," he announced.
"You set the table and do the ex
tras and I'll see to the bash and
make pop-overs. Wait HI I you
taste 'em!"
"Wonderful! Here's an apron."
nd she tied it around him and
presented htm with the tin she

KELLY AND WILLOS
TALK FREELY ABOUT
BREAK FROM PRISON
(Continued: fiom Page One)
then to Fallbridge, and from there
to White Salmon.
"What did Murray and Willos
quarrel about? Oh" with a
slight smile and shrug "about
the direction. About who was to
lead. Everyone had different
ideas.
"Yes, we broke into a store at
Bingen. We left too deep a trail
there. We cracked the safe
didn't get much, only a few dol
lars. But we got some clothes and
food. "
Kellcy.was dressed in good,
serviceable rough clothing, with
denim overalls outside. The men
were all clean and shaved.
"Then we broke into a section
house and took some gasoline.
Pair Headed for Yakima
"We put it into a small Over
land auto standing near a garage
close by. We threw in our stuff
and started. Then the Portland
county officers got us.
"We were going to Yakima and
had gone about half way. We left
the main highway, about a quar
ter of a mile, to cook some food.
The cops who were trailing saw
us first. They got mighty close
perhaps 100 " feet. They saw us
several seconds before we saw
them. They all bad us covered
with rifles when they called to
throw up our hands. There was
no argument.
"Wo had only one gun with us,
Willos' .38. It was the one we
brought from the pen. It was
loaded with five cartridges, but
only two you could depend on.
The others wer.e three different
makes, and maybe they didn't fit
very well.
"What's the use of worrying?"
Willos said, his hard face unmoved
by emotions, "i got myaelf into
it; I guess that I gut to take my
medicine."
"We didn't figure on any shoot
ing when we planned our getaway.
We thought that wo could eeize
the arsenal, get guns aud just
march out.
"Oregon Jones, I think, went
crazy. The night befoie we left
he kept talking about being dead,
I think he rlann&d ou dying in
lIq break.
"I was the last man down the
rope and don't know anything
about the warden or the fight in
the turnkey's office. Jones hud
commenced shooting from the ur
iienat before 1 startod down the
rope. Wheu I hit the ground, a
guard wus there with a rule
against my back.
"Tom Murray was right about
the seven guurd There was a
whole block, of 'em outsido the
sate with rifles 1 think that w
had been tipped off but when.
Murray and .Jones started shoot
ing at them, they ran for cover.
"I didn't see a tntng of the war
dsn. Someone t'-aid lie was shoot
ing at us, but if he was we never
.iaw hhn.
"Where did we go after wc left
the taxi driver at Pratutu? Oh,
we just wandered around. No, we
didn't run into any posses. Where
did we leave the automobile after
young Newman drove us to Port
laud?,, I can't tell you, I don't
know the town.
"The etory that Murray and I
had a fight is about right. Tom
wanted to keep on riding trains
and I wanted to get under covor.
He got sore and quit us. Wo bust
ed into a store at a hick town last
night and got this layout of
clothes and some grub. We stole
an automobile, the one we were
riding in, and etarted off for the
Yakima country. You know the
rest. We stopped for lunch, the
deputies saw our tracks, surround
ed us and stuck us up. bo here
we are."
COLLEGE IN BOSTON
STUDIES EARTHQUAKES
Boston. When earthquake
shocks of any considerable magni
tude are felt In any part of the
world, the public soon utter reads
statements of scientists concerning
the situation. In recent years
statements from Engineering
Economics Foundation have been
appearing with increasing regu
larity and members have been
asked many times "Just what are
you trying to do?"
The Engineering Economics
Foundation Is really a collego
without a cam-pus, operating in
Boston and is engaged in gather
ing aud disseminating informa
tion concerning national emerg
ency of all types and methods of
reducing loss of life and property
in emergency. It focuses its work
upon earthquakes because they in
clude virtually all types of hazard.
The headquarters of this collego
nre in an old house on Beacon
Tiill, into which come reports from
every section of the world that
relate t! disturbances within the
earth. It is from these reports,
which scientists study constantly,
that deductions are drawn.
FRANCE IN M0B0CG0
Berlin, Germany. One-half of
the foreign legionnaires fighting
ou the side of France against Abd-el-Krim
in Morocco are Germans,
in the opinion of Berlin military
Oxperts. Not only is It untrue
that Germans have come to the
aid of the Moroccan chieftain,
they say, but on the contrary
France is being euportcd by about
12.000 to 15,000 German subjects
enrolled in the foreign legion.
