"Without or with ofjctise to friends or Iocs l sketch your world exactly as it goes." -nviroN. MARKET AGENT BUNK State Market Agent C. E. Spence, in the weekly Non Partisan League propaganda he receives $3,000 a year and expenses of tax-payers money lor issuing, aeuuti. tit., mtiA newsmmers of llio country are in unison proclaiming that prosperity la returning to agriculture and that lurmera are "... ... nm ihnv wnr before the war. State Market Agent Spenco says that under the present economic ays cm ho does not see how it ia possible tor general prosperous agricultural conditions except Tor a very small proportion, and tbat the instances they cite aro special producers, picked here and there isolated instances or . i mn..v "Hiirh overhead expenses and low i,n fnrmnra down." savs the Market Agent, "n,i hMi, tiiMfl onnillLlnna are beyond his control. There are profit ,1- an farm nrniiiietii. inanv ot Ihcm, but they are nearly all made nfter tbey leave the farmers' hands they are made by the middle-bandllng interests who fix tbo prices to both the farmer and tn...mnr TtK. nvomcn farmer today is in about the same position of the small manufacturer, who cannot compete with tbo big corpor ations, nnd who has to sell his goods at tost or abandon the plant. It is a very sad thing for those-professional friends of the farmer, like Mr. Spence, who live by farming the farmer, to contemplate returning prosperity on the farm as it gives the lie to their dismal socialistic bunk that the farmers only relief is the paternalism of state help or the destruction of the present social system and the substitution of communism. The farmers salvation rests upon himself, just as every other producer's does and there is no substitution for brains. The farmer can best solve his own problems by cooperation and increased efficiency, and the best way to help him is to cease official meddling with his business, cut out the red tape regulations binding him, and reduce his taxation by cutting unnecessary and superfluous tax-eaters like the market master, off his payroll. UNNECESSARY CRUELTY In demanding that the proposed "Pony Express" run from Salem to Portland be called off, the State Humane Society is doing the right thing. There is no reason why horses should be abused by being forced to make a long gallop over paved highways', menacing both the riders and the traveling public, to serve no useful purpose, except that j of a spectacular advertisement for a movie show. That the governor of the state should lower the dignity of his office by lending its prestige to a cheap publicity stunt would be astounding except in Oregon, but it has become so I commonplace here that it fails to attract attention. After all, I a governor that would proclaim a holiday for a baseball game, might be expected to fall for any fake of this character. In the days of the pony express there were no paved roads, in fact' no roads of any kind, merely trails and the horses were trained to go on the gallop for hours. Now the asVialt pavements are slippery and dangerous and the conn ote pavements destructive to hoofs and the animals untrained and unaccustomed to'long runs at full speed, ' The Humane Society exists to prevent unnecessary cruelty to animals, and the proposed pony express race is unneces sary cruelty. cast let me help you find some-! hlng to do, when you begin sup-1 porting yourself." I'd be glad If you would," Ma rie replied, gratefully. "I hadn't meant to talk this over with you, but since you seem to see right in to my mind, I will. There iacn't much that I can do, of course, but 11 have to find something. "Why not be a companion and secretary to me?" BBkod Caroline, aa If she had just thought of It that very minute. "I'll pay you two hun dred a week, and you'd have all your expenses, of course " Marie sighed as she shook ner head. Caroline woa too generous, and ao would be useless as an ad- vlaor or a real help. I couldn't do It; that would Just be charity, and you know It," she said. "That salary la mucn too largo, oven if I were well train ed, which I'm not. No, Caroline, I can't let you do anything of that sort. I'm going to earn the salary that I get, my dear. Well why not try social wel fare work? Now, there are bIx or seven women I know, who, like me, wants to do lota of charitable work but Just can't .find time for it. You could take care of it all for us; investigate neecfy casea and all tbat, you know; we'd give you ao much a month, rnd a salary ' "But Caroline, I know that you eive a certain amount to various charitable organizations every month and that they take chargo of ita distribution in the best man ner possible," Marie reminded her. "Honey, you're being too nice to me. Better let me make my own way; I can do it. and really, Caro line, I want to stand on my feet, I'd like to try It. I promise you that if I'm a failure I'll come to you for help. Truly, will you?" Caroline do manded. "If you promlae me that you'll do that I shan't worry about you "I promise," Marie anawereu, knowing that sho never would keep to It by tbo grimmest necessity. I Caroline, too, looking into the girl's deep blue eyes, told herself that there would be no need of Marie's ever keeping It. "She'll be married within a few months; with her beauty . and charm ahe can't help it unless Bhe's determined not to marry gain," she Llod herself. "Bob Haudall'a mad about her; anyone can aee that. And there'll be half a dozen other men In the same boat before she knows It. Really, a beautiful young widow can have ny man she wants!" Randall crossed the ball Just hen, riding crop In hand; in his riding toga he looked unusually well. Ho came straight to Marie. Won't you go for a cantor with ? he asked her, when he had greeted Caroline, who promptly re moved herself to a discreetly dls- tant chair. "There's a horse In the Htablcs that would Just suit-, you, rn sure, and the morning Is per fect for a rldo." I haven't ridden for a year,' Marie told him. "But oh, I'd love to do it. Only I haven't anything to wear." My niece left two riding habits here when she went on to Bcnooi Caroline Interrupted, "iro sure they'd fit you, and either one ought to be becoming. Do aee if they. aren't Just what you want, dear. Marie yielded to persuasion and an upatalrs, to return fifteen min utes later In riding breeches, coat and boots, prettier than ever. Ran dall saluted as ahe came down the stairs. Together they went out to the drive, where their horses were waiting. Caroline, standing In the d' to wave to them, frowned sud donly. A motor car had swung In to the drivo, with a man in It alone. . He pulled up Just aa Bob Randall swung Marie into the sad die. "Oh going out?" he demanded Mnrle turned, to see Billy looking up at her. His voice and face ex- then meat. She hesitated a moment, gathered up her reins. I Yes, I'm going riding with Mr., Randall," she replied, and a mo ment later she and Bob Randall were half way down the drive. Tomorrow -When Jealousy Drives OFFICE UNMOVED ONGFELLOWS Approximately a dozen members of Longfelluwa clubs -at Medford, Marshfleld, Portland, Corvallls, Eu gene and McMlnnville, are expect cd to be present at the Salem Long fellows banquet Friday night, It was stated this morning by Dr. A.
