Hitman's - Harness Store Milton, Oregon (PHone 122) ( iikkium; prophecy. The wheat market is just now clone rival of the jrvUlciitil elec tion i" local interest. A good share of the East Kinl crop is still in tho hands oi growers, to whom present prices make no appeal. The crop has been a costly ono to raise and harvest, and Uie primary murket will have t(l go to a point considerably above two dollars before there is any pronounced local movement. In this connection the vk'ws of Prophet Pickel of Chicago may bo found encouraging, lie says in the current number of Rosenbaum Re view: "Deflation sentiment is now de pressing the market for grains to levels which are not fundamentally sound. Buyers should take advan tage of the opportunities presented to make purchases for long time needs. It is just a few days ago that $:1.00 and $4.00 wheat was a 'joai- tive certainty' in the minds of the public. Sentiment has reversed itself just as sentiment has a habit of do in.!;. Let us remember Wiat the lower market prices may go temporarily, the higher they will go permanently. Let not your heart be troubled now over downward prices, any more than, you were troubled recently by as cending prices. They will come back." Prophet Pickle advises such of his readers as are inclined to speculato to buy wheat at any point 'below $2.10 a bushel, and goes on to say: "On the second of July, I think it was, I printed a chart which forecast future wheat prices. I indicated what I thought the price movement would be, but I told you I could not tell you exactly the time. You have now witnesed the downward move ment. Forget that chart now for a time and watch wheat flutter around for a 'bottom.' I don't know where it will light. The ipward movement which I indicated is coming just as surely as the downward movement came, and if tho fool farmers will hold their ball bearing tongues as well as their wheat, prices will come back. I do not doubt that for a min ute. I want to tell you this very frankly.

That is exactly what you will help to do if you do nothing to prevent the passage of measure No. 314 and 315 on the November ballot entitled, "Constitutional Amendment Fixing Legal Rate of Interest in Oergon." This measure proposes to limit the rate of interest in Oregon to 5 per cent. You can. by law, hx the rate of interest in Oregon, but you cannot, by law, force the loaning of money in this state, when a much nigher rate can be secured elsewhere. The passage of this measure would force the withdrawal of the millions of foreign capital which is today loaned on fac tories, business and real estate in the state and send your local money owners outside of the state to better investments. Passage of this measure would mean foreclosure of thousands of mort gages; would result in financial paralysis, and would mean widespread un employment You, no doubt, understand the viciousness of this measure; but have you talked to your neighbors and friends about it? We urge you to do ev erything you can to defeat this measure. Oregon's reputation as a sound state for investments requires that -this measure be overwhelmingly de feated.

R Reynolds Water Street (second block north of Main) WESTON - - - - - OREGON who tan write right with cither right or left being ambidextrous thata way. Words flow from his pen like wheat from a separator spout; but sometimes the chaff is not thrown out through the blower and his read ers perforce absorb a mixed literary diet. Ben was a precocious child, and at the early age of two years com posed with the utmost composure an Ode -to Charity. What he has since owed to charity it would be hard to Bay, but he once ran a country paper for quite a spell. He is a confirmed nd irrepressible poet, and Editor Piper is often compelled to sit on his chest in order to prevent him from getting the poetry off the chest aforesaid. The esteented Oregonian is hard put to keep a jump ah,ead of the upstart JoinaL in circulation, and cannot afford to take -a chance on Ben's "divine afflatus" whatever that may be. Three rousing cheers, however, for Ben Hur who comes to us in the flesh for the first time. It "bane him," all right, all right. Despite the republican outcry against the "White House autocrat," there is no question that had the j-eame course been pursued by a re publican president as to the League of Nations, he would have received practically unanimous republican en dorsement. It follows, too, , that he would quite likely have been opposed by democratic senators. Political blindness, intolerance and bigotry are bred from the virus of partisanship. If you think that the price of your wheat or potatoes should be arbi trarily fixed by law in Oregon at a Oregon Most Have A Port Equal to Any Port on the Pacific Coast Initiative measure No. 310 on the ballot gives: to the Port of Portland means to create such a port. The primary object of this bill is to furnish the means to insure the opening and maintaining pf a 30 foot channel from Portland to the sea and of building and establishing port facil ities at the City of Portland sufficient to handle the foreign and coastwise shipping of that port. The cost of this improvement will be met by the people living within the boundaries of the Port of Portland. When you go to the Polls November second vote 310 YES and give to the Port of Portland the power to maintain its 30 foot channel to the sea and to build adequate port facilities to handle all of the great products of the interior of the state. The passage of this bill means lower freight rates for the prpducts of Oregon in reaching the markets of the world and a consequent greater profit to the producers. This is the most important and the most valuable measure that has ever been put up to the voters of the interior portions of th state. - . Vote 310 Yes OREGON PORT DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE G. S.
