XI, 1921, at the post office at Hoard man, Ore., under act of Mar. 3, 1879. IS THIS WHY PRICES ARE GOING UP "Friends of India" in New York, as well as all the radicals of both Eng land and America began to talk of "self-determination of native peo ples." And if England shoots up a few hundred of her murderous In dians, just as we UHed to shoot up the same sort In the West, these fun ny folks raise their voices in holy horror. What a lot of bunk has been going the rounds the past few years in the name of sacred liberty! SOURDOUGHS AND ALASKA POOD AGAIN? Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale, who Is so versatile that he is an authority on economics, on longevity of hu mans and on prize fighters, Is best known for his exhaustive and deep studies of gold as money. It is Fisher who advocates stab ilizing the American gold dollar by fixing its value as It grows plentiful or grows scarce. He contends that when gold be comes plentiful, prices of commodi ties ascend. When it is scarce, prices go down. Please note what Is happening now. All prices were going down the first of the year like a lead sinker. Hut around about spring time floods of gold began to pour into the I niled Stales from the whole world. To date, In 1921, we have grudgingly accepted more than four hundred million of it. And prices.' They stopped falling! Hradstreet's shows that commodities at wholesale advanced over 3 per cent In July. The Department of LabOT says retail prices were up from !i to fi per cent In nearly all the cities on August 1. Cotton is going up again. So are sugar, cof fee, tea, hides, canned goods, tex tiles and silver. Maybe Fisher's right. IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE WHOSE INDIAN IS SCAM'ED II makes quite a good deal of difference whose Indian Is plugged full of bullet holes. When our own savages got busy on our frontier and burned and tor tured and killed right and left, Americun regulars, state militia men and all and sundry who owned rifles, took to the trails and didn't finish until most Indians in that general neighborhood were good Indians good because dead. Hut when the hall'-clvlll.ed In dian! and wholly savage and fanati cal Moslems of India become bloody minded and go about assassinating, sniping, anil torturing whites, the Oregon' Higher Inililution of TECHNOLOGY Eight Schools: Seventy Depirlmenli FALL TERM OPENS SEPT. 19. 1921 For informilMn wrtlr to the Rtfiiinr Oregon Agricultural College CORVAI I IS We are informed that sourdoughs from all parts of the world will ga ther at Dawson City shortly to cele brate the 25th anniversary of the Klondike. We never met a sourdough, but we understand they are the men who prospect for the riches of the earth, particularly gold. Anyway, at their celebration nothing but pro ducts of the Yukon will be served at their feasts. Bread from wheat grown In Alaska; vegetables, fruit, beef, pork all raised on the soil far up towards the Arctic. They DO grow fine wheat In Alas ka, and they have NO TROUBLE raising all the fruit and vegetable they want. Alaska is not the bleak country people think it is. Some day It will support a great population, but at present folks are not going there in any great number, mostly because the territory doesn't get enough publ icity. Brother Scott Bone, the new gov ernor, Is a newspaper man, and we have a notion that he will find a way to get the folks interested in Alaska before his term is over. i walling all day long because of hun ger, or wrapped In newspapers even in the hospitals because (here are no , clothes to put them into- this is Vienna today. Even the animals are better off than many of there human being, for thoy at least have their fur to cover them. I I came into one house and asked I why the children stayed indoors in good weather. "They have no clothes to put on," answered the weary mother. Three university students came to our rooms and kept their coats reso- j lutely closed, though we asked them to unbutton them in order to take ! their measurement. Why? They . had no underclothes on underneath their coats. At a recent meeting of professors a census of shirts was taken. Not one in ten was found to have a shirt on! All classes are suffering together. Baronesses sleep on straw; old wo men of seventy are dependent on foreign food tor their very lives. Nine-tenths of the children are rick ety or tubercular. The other day there sat beside me in the street car a young man and woman sitting with arm locked in arm. They were white, tremb ling; they could hardly talk. They tared miserably into space. Obvious ly they had had nothing to eat for days. The young man's cheeks were hollow, his eyes sunken; his belt was tightened over his thin wasted frame. When the tram stopped he got up unsteadily, helped the girl to her feet, and, holding on to each other BREAD BAKING CONTEST AT HAY AND GRAIN SHOW Because the bread baking contest for the Umatilla county girls be tween (lie ages of 9 and IS, is creating so much interest, the Home Demonstration Agent is sending out the following information for the benefit of the contestants: The prizes are to be given for the best loaf of bread baked by the in dividual and exhibited the morning of September 22 at the High School in Pendleton. All of the bread that Is sent in to be judged will be ex hibited at the Northwest drain and Hay Show tent from the 22nd of September to the 24th. The first prize Is $10, (he second prize $7.50, the third prize $5.00 and the 4th prize $2.50. The girls are not re quired to be club members in order to compete in this contest. In order to acquaint each girl with the meth od of making bread the Home Dem onstration Agent, Edith (! Van Deu sen, Pendleton, Ore will send a bul letin upon request.

THE HOOKER OAK IN BEAUTIFUL ii,:ioo-acre Bldweil park which, by the way, Is one of the largest natural-wooded parks In the country, In the little city of Chlco, California some 180 miles northeast of San Kraiiclsco, there is a giant white-oak tree which is believed to be the largest of its kind in the world. This ponderous monarch of the for est was named after Sir Joseph Hooker, the noted English naturalist, who, In 1877, after a close examination and considerable study, pronounced it to he larger than any of the wondrous oaks for which England was famed. This great lie" is more thim 100 feet high and Its circumference eight feet above the ground Is 28 4-l(lth feet. Its longest branch extends away from the trunk for 105 feet. From north to south its brunches spread an even 200 feet. The greatest -! r- cu inference of its outside branches reaches the astonishing figure of al most 400 feet. Students of freedom from near and fur have come and tried every menus known to science to .coax this mas sive ouk to whisper the secret of its tremendous size and unusual age. but '.t merely wuves Its branches in the gentle breeze and seems to luugh at them So, the best they can do Is u estimate Its age. The consensus of opinion Is that it. has been on earth well nigh 1,000 years". Oeneral William Tecumseh Sher tnsn. of Civil war fame, gave It as his opinion that an army of 7,000 men could stand wlthtu Its shade at high noun. apparently for sheer physicial sup port, they wormed their way to the door. On reaching it the boy took off his hat and wiped the sweat from his brow, which was dripping with the exertion. One little tired out mother said to me: "Things are not so bad now as they were last year. 1 had six children then to feed and clothe, but now I have only three."' Practically no Viennese of the working or middle classes have been able to buy any clothes since 1913. What they have left now, that is not worn out or threadbare, has to go to the pawnbrokers where most of the furniture Rnd bed linen has long since gone, in order to get food and perhaps a little fuel. Garments received by Viennese mothers for their children today mean perhaps more joy and hopeful ness than can be brought by one person to another by any other single deed. These people deserted by the world, dying in despair and lonli ness. A little frock that you may send for a child means more than it seems to; it is a sign that there are people abroad who sympathize with their lot, that they are not entirely forgotten by man and God.
