Apple
If there is one thing the politicians are expert at dishing,
it is applesauce; if there is one thing for which the farmers
seem to have an insatiable appetite, it is applesauce; conse
quently both should be thankful this Thanksgiving season
lor the abundant supply available.
When the farmer cannot sell his products, the politicians
give him a little applesauce in the guise of an import tariff
upon the surplus he exports, and he gratefully pays a higher
tariff on everything he buys and votes for the grand old
party.
Again when the farmer is selling his wheat at less than
cost of production, the politicians give him some more apple
sauce in the form of a McNary-Haugen or similar bill to
have the government buy his crop at profitable prices and
the farmer trots to the polls quite contented. After the
election, nothing more is heard of price-fixing until the next
election approaches, when a fresh lot of applesauce will be
available.
In Oregon, the applesauce dished out in wholesale quanti
ties by Walter Pierce won him his election, and in gratitude
the grand lecturer saved the farmers with applesauce in the
shape of a market-master who markets nothing, does not
even organize marketing machinery or furnish prices for
marketing, but busies, himself issuing propaganda for the
Non-Partisan League and the pleased farmer cheerfully
totes another useless tax-eater on his over-burdened should
ers.
Seeing how well it works
culture Jardine has prepared a similar mess of applesauce
for the farmers of the nation. He has approved a bill to
create within the department
Iteting. How useful it will be can be judged by the fact that
it will be purely advisory, have no authority, fix no prices
and market nothing. Surely this will keep the embatLIed
Iarmer firm in support of that
Calvin Cooudge.
As long as the farmer looks
to cure economic ills by legislation setting aside the inexor
able Jaw of supply and demand,
of apple-sauce prove inexhaustible.
Standard Hospitals
And What They Mean
Tho American CoIIcro of Sur
goons 1b nn International organiza
tion composed of a group follow
Bhlp of eminent physicians and sur
geons from both North nnd South
Amorlca, organized for tho pur
pose of securing the very beat serv
ice from tho patient whllo In tho
hospital nnd to protect that pn
tient ngalnst unethical practice by
unskilled physicians nnd surgeons
while practicing In any hospital.
Tho tremendous task of working
out, sotting up, nnd putting into
offoct a standard which might he
reached by all hospitals was un
dertaken and lias been put Into
effect within tho past few years,
This work 1ms cost a great deal of
money, $500,000.00 has boon ex
.ponded to date and $75,000.00 Is
to bo tiflod this year, but tho service
is entirely free- to alt hospitals. It
goes without saying that every hos
pital nlniing to furnish its puticntti
tho best Borvlce ohtalnnblo will
strlvo to ni ensure up to the require'
menta laid down by the college
of surgeons nnd thus merit at least
minimum standardization,
Dr. Mnlcolm T. McEchran who
is executlvo secretary nnd associate
director of the American College
of Burgeons was recently Invitod
by (he governments of Australia
and New Zealand to spend several
months with them In the Interest of
their hospltnlH, and while on his

"Until 1018 only eight of nine

Tho primary object of hospital
standardization is to see that only
llioso qualified to do surgery or
inodlclne aro permitted to work In
standard hospitals and to Insure
tho maximum of proper caro for
every patient. That these surveys
aro thorough and tho requirements
rigid Is shown by tho fact that only
1,604 out of 7,000 surveys In the
United Stntes during the year have
met the requirements of tho Am
erican College of Surgeons, and
only 12 out of 29 In Oregon have
measured up. This would seem to
prove that those Inspections and
subsequent standardization of any
hospital Is not primarily in the hos
pltals Interest but wholly with tho
purposo of securing at the hands
of the hospital tho best service
possible for tho patient and further
moro that the hospital may keep
abreast of all the Improvements In
medical and surgical science. One
can scarcely comprehend the very
marvelous progress made during
the past few years In these profes
sions, and wore it not for the fact
that a groat many liberal gifts nnd
endowments mndo by persons who
havo money to bestow In the public
Interest, hospitalization would bo
vory far behind present day re
qulrements made necessary by tho
rapid advance of.modicnl and Bur-
glcnl science.
It Is a welt known fact that no
hcspltat which renders standard

hope to mako any operating profit,
in fact given a flnishod, well bal

Ho took Mnry'a arm familiarly.
She btuxhed as the butler bowed
again; It embarrassed her to have
Hamilton call attention to hor In
that way, and Instinctively she felt
the bad ta.t of his doing so.
They went up a wide shallow
stairway to th second floor, which
had been turned Into a ballroom.

the edge of the dance floor, ,nd on
a slightly rained floor a step above!
It. AeroF one end waa a balcony.
Gay baloons were lied to the vuses
of flowers on the tables. The walls
wero covered with flowered yellow
silk, and the many mirrors placed
along them reflected the dancers'
f.igures.
'Oh, how beautiful!" Mary ex
claimed, as the head waiter took
them o their table one In the front
row.
"Like It? I thought you would."
Hamilton drew out her chair him
self, nnd patted her lightly on the
shoulder aa she sat down.
A waiter brought champagne In
a bucket of Ice; Mary was thrilled
at that she had never seen It done
before, Hamilton Insisted on toast
ing her, and she sipped the wine
in acknowledgement, but drank
nothing after that. - Her aunt had
told hor never to drink, ar.d des
pite Hilda Lewis' finding fault
for not drinking a cocktail she was
determined that she would not
drink now.
HaplncAS was tlmulant enough
for her; her cneeka were flushed
pink, and her eyes were starry.
'Come on, little one, let's dance,'
urged Hamilton, almost lifting her
from her chair.
She did not like having him touch
her, did not like the way he danc
ed, holding her uncomfortably
close, barely moving from one
spot on the floor. She could see
now why some people objected to
dancing, thought It wrong.
And yet wasn't this what she
had always wanted, to go to just
such a place as this one, which
was the best of its kind in the city
to the nicely dressed, to have every
thing done for her that money
could do? She had never expected
to be the guest of a man so Import
ant as Pat Hamilton was In the
country's affairs.
She was just beginning to learn
that the things wo want in this
world are likely to come to us like
that, not quite as we want them.
Say, Hamilton certainly has
fallen for you' Lewis told her,
when she was sitting at the table
with him while Hamilton dancod

Alary; has a lot of Influence In

out as kids together, and now look
at him and look at me. He's al

just goes out after It and gets It.
I wish I knew how he does It. Look

"Why, Jim, you've done awfully

"Yeah It's all I can do to' nay

"He would, wouldn't he-" Ho

"Friends sur, -but this Is the

I guess all his other friends -were

should happen to mention me you
might put in a good word for me.
Wili you?"
"Of course, Jim." It flattered
Mary to think that her word could
have any weight with a man like
Pat Hamilton. She hardly believed
that It could. But when she danc
ed with him again, Hamilton asked
her If she would lunch with him
the following Monday.
"It's hard luck that I've got en
gagements for all tomorrow I'm
gofng out to Shadyslde to play
golf we'll say Monday sure, -won't
we?" ho urged.
Mary agreed. Shadyslde was the
most exclusive country club any
where around. She wondered If he
would ever take her there. And
what would Stewart Howe say if
ho could see her now, in these sur
roundings. Instead of at that grub
by office?

! "You're just sweet, youngster," .
Hamilton said suddenly, bending j

Ills tone was significant, as was
tho expression in his eyes. Mary
looked away. What did he mean?
Could it be that that he had fal

that some day he'd ask to marry

To tho Editor; Salem Is a beau
tlful city, the more we see of it
tho better we like it. While we reel
there Is mutch room for the un
folding of the Ideal In all City af
fairs: yet were this point reached
we cannot help but feel that our
dally thought and life must be the
determining factor in our nappi
ness.
I am sure I shall like my neigh
bora, and also that they wilt un
der stand aa mutch as the law of
Christ still lives in the heart of
the right.
The first man I met In A busi
ness way hadent spoken more than
a dozen words to me before I re
ceived an invitation to attend his
Church whare they wero receiving
some good spiritual messages: 1
found It true. We love tho trutn
always, whether bedecked In silk
or rags. And one stranger sayotn
ns he visualized the spirit of true
success in on Individual; what pos
sibilities are these for this peo
pie If the same spirit pulsated
through every artery of this cities
life?
If wo learn the truest spirit It
will ellminate'defeat. It will make
our parking easy and broaden out
tho street; You will never have to
hurry past the poor and old and
weak For you, I know my brothers
keeps Is tho proper one to speak,
Yes, you, I know this is your
City to make or ce,n to mar
For tho truth will fly on wings of
light at fireside and afar;
If Sir Lanfal.s vlsslon has be
co mo very fair to me
Lootc yonder, read betweon the
stars t.will bo fair Indeed to thee.
"Tho. meanest serf on Sir Lan-

But Is lord of the erldom ns
