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.

Cnrollno Phillips' Idea of giving
her guests a good limo was to pro
vido plenty of entertainment and
then let them decide what tlioy
wanted to do. 9 ho made her
bountiful country home a club
hnurte for them and never Inter
fered with their pleasure.
Mnrle went downatiilrs tho sec
ond morning of the liou.so party to
find that nearly everyone had gone
off to play golf or tennis, savo for
a few eager curd players who had
gathered In tbo sun room for
bridge. She was thankful that she
had not como'ilown In timo to Join
them, especially when she noticed
Theresa Winshlp among them; re
calling tbo thirty-flvo dollars sho
had lost to that enthusiast the eve
ning before, she told herself that
alio could not afford to meet Miss
Whisht p , at bi idno again unless
their luck was reversed.
"Marie, I want to talk with you,''
Caroline told her, drawing her Into
tt corner near one of the flrei'Liees.
"You lost sumo money to Thcrosn
lust nl.ht, didn't you? Now. I
know that this Isn't according to
the usual custom, but won't you lot
ino pny you back what you lost?
You see now, don't be angry dear
but Tlioresa la such a shark, and
t know that you're not too rich I
can see right through you,, child,
and I know as well as you do that
you're determined not to accopt the
alimony Billy's paying you and
I'm not going to lot you lose money
In my house."
"But it wasn't much. Marie I
protested.
"No, I admit that, but lt was tool
much, even bo. And you always!
