HOMEY PHILOSOPHY
FOR 1922
"What is human conduct but the
daily and hourly sale of our wills
for trifles" -the foregoing is publish
ed broadcast as an epigram by the
"clever" iiernaid Shaw. A lie! Hu
man people In the mass do not hour
ly, or daily, or even weekly, or yet
even monthly, sell their souls. D
cause the human person loves com
fort and entertainment and solaces
himself sometimes with regretable
little vices and falls inlo error (but
flesh is heir to, it does not mean (hat
he sells his soul. The soul is not
so easily sold. And mark you, the
soul that was made by God is not as
easily lost as some people imagine,
either.
If fellers liverT forever, and no one had to die, we
wouldn't need to think about a home beyond the sky,
an' the dread of fire hereafter needn't worry us a bit,
for there wouldn't be no habits that a feller had to quit.
The money-sharks would get it all an' never leave a smell,
for if misers lived forever, they couldn't go to hell,
an' I have a sneakin' notion, as I watch 'em multiply,
that it ain't no disadvantage fer an ornery cuss to die.
If people lived forever, an' a family gathered in, it would
take a forty-acre field to hold a feller's kin, an' when it
come to feedin' 'em, I haven't any . doubt that one New
Year s dinner would clean a feller out. I hope I'm no;
hard-hearted, nor prone to speakin' rough, but I think
the plan of heaven an hell is. plenty good enough.
YESTERDAY OR TOMORROW
The slate of Oregon has just ad
vertised to the world why she .stands
forty-first in the nation in point of
development. An opportunity was
presented whereby the state as a
whole could unite on Holding a
World's Fair In 1925.
The object of the special session
called by the governor was to pro
vide means for the people to vole on
the uostlon in May. The fact that
14 senators decided to decide the
question and promptly ikilled the
fair should tend to lake some of I he
sligma from the slate as a whole.
By whai rights did litis self-anolted
14 take this world Infant to their
bosoms and smother it with political
verdigris?
If the plan submitted by the pro
ponents of the fair did not meet
your ipproval, why did you no! Call
cus with them, if it took all winter,
until you worked out a plan agree
able to all?
Did you not go to this session with
that Oregon Fori. v lirsl in the Union

NEW
YORK .NOT
AN AMERICAN CITY
To many of us living west of the
Hudson river westward to the Pa
cific the city of New York has
'oomed up as a place of wonders, as
a city of divers immensities and mys
teries. All this has been impressed
on our Tiiinds by plays, movie shows
and stories In which, as a mailer of
fact, the thrllll and cleverness of
New Yoik were almost entirely im
aginative. There used to be a popular song
OH the llowery, once a lillhy "joint"
district in New York Where every
thing went. II ran like this:
"The llowery! The llowery!
They say such things and they do
strange things
On the llowery! The llowery!
I'll never go there any more."
The "llowery" has gradually been
lost, losi in ih Immensity of a new
llowery, which new llowery is prac
i Ically i he w hole city.
New York is no longer an Ameri
can community. It has been Hooded
tor a quarter of a century by certain
elements from eastern and southern
Europe; people who have no desire
al all to learn American manners or
American customs Indeed, their set

A very liniely article appeared In
last week's Oregonian on dairying
i he article was headed "Love all
Your Cows and Get More Mill
Mrs. Adda F. Howie of Milwaukee,
Wis., is the fountain of information.
She has been loving cows for 25
years and has made a wonderful
success. .
She says thai every cow, whether
it be humble or of royal birth, should
have ils own name. To address a
cow in the plain cold terms of just
plain cow. will tend to interrupt the
How of milk. It you will but breeze
out in the early morning dew with
a cheery good morning Kate, how's
the rest of ihe folk, Rate will im
mediately return you to the house
for l,he second bucket. She says
lhat music will not hurt any cow
and possibly do it good. There is a
question of doubt in that statement.
Did you ever hear song rising
from a cow quartet, let us say In
By lime? The tenor has partly emit
ted high C when he is nearly choked
to death by the business end of
Kate's tail. The Swiss bass has a
mouthful of yodels mixed up with a
bottle By, The second tenor's (Swe
dish birth) high C was to great a
strain for the milking stool and In
Ml amidst the spoor. The baritone
was hitting on all four when the
cow he was milking made it five. To
have music work properly you must
be careful in its selection. Y'ou hear
of Grand Opera singers being of
bumble birth. From what I have
heard ( 1 sing some) none ever hum
bled up from a cow shed.
Mrs. Howie says that neither lace
or chintz curtains dislurb bossy. Un
til We have windows to curtain this
feature of extended love will have
to wait. Mrs. Howie decries as be
ing termed "queer" in presenting
these love sonnets to the cow. She
has been abroad twice studying
dairying conditions and she is con
vinced Ihe more love the more milk
Mrs. Howie's theory is well prov
en. The entire universe al this very
day is seeking the love of mankind
but Ihe only lime we say ii with
flowers is at the grave.
A milk brother rises and presents
this hypothetical Question : "if
cow In reaching with her rear
right paddle for her left eat
in passing brazes your left
Cheek and musses your composure
should you speed up your love or
cave in her fifth rib?" Ii is simply
a matter of milk, it hinges on how
your feelings are reached. If you
cherish your fatted milk check, give
your love the gas. If it depends on
your instant temperament and your
, evening composure, loosen the rib.
What a wonderful subject is love,
I so easy to be had. and so little used.
May 1 live to see the day when this
project is run on a love basis, es-
I serially cows.
One of the strongest arguments
for Mrs. Howie's theory is the fact
postoftices, gnat harbor Improve
ments and other projects benefiting
that massed part of the population.
Every year tens of millions are paid
out to the employees of Uncle Sam
who live and work in the cities.
Where the government spends five
million dollars in a city of 100,000
people, how much does it spend on
an agricultural county of 100,000
people and in which are located only
a tew small towns and villages?
ANSWER: So small an amount
as to be absolutely absurd in com
parison. If it spent the one-hundredth part
of that sum, or $50,000, in sucn a
country, that country thinks a mira
cle has happened.
The government ought to spend
at least as much of the public taxes
and of the receipts from its bonds
where one 50 per cent of the total
population lives as it spends where
the other 50 per cent live. How?
To the mind of the editor, the
FIRST NECESSITY IS THE PAV
ING AND SEWERING OF THE
STREETS OF COMMUNITY CEN
TERS, the small towns of the na
tions. Paving, for the business pros
perity, (he convenience, the educa
tional advantage and the comfort of
the whole community, and to ad
vance the civic solidarity of the whole
community surrounding such towns.
Sewering in centers, as a national
health measure, the sewers to be ex
tended to the farms in good time.
Small towns cannot afford such pro
jects; they will do well to keep them
up after the improvements are es
tablished. The government can and should
afford it. And for every dollar Uncle
Sam spends in such public improve
ments, he will increase the wealth
of the nation $10 up to even $100.
A book could be written on the
mormous advantages that would ac
crue lo all the people of the United
States ALL OF THEM from such
ix tens Ion of government, attention
o our villages and towns.
It is not a dream; it is plain pro
gress, and this newspaper proposes
in urge government enterprises from
'mi" to time in an effort lo further
democracy in this favored "Land of
the Free and Home of l n Iirave."
MEAT MAKING IS IMPORTANT
BUT MEAT BATING MORE SO
One of Ihe greatest values of meat
producing animals to the country is
as salvagers of materials lhat would
otherwise go to waste. The making
of meat is not, as sometimes con
tended, a waste of food that might
be used directly by humans with
reater economy. Although animals,
especially hogs, eat much corn and
other grains that are used in one
form or another by humans, they
consume them along with large
quantities of such coarse feeds as
grass, hay, cornstalks, cereal by-products,
straw, cottonseed meal, oil
menu, nsu meai, tannage, anu silage.
Without our great herds of live stock
a considerable share o'f the plant
products grown each year would be
wasted, yet on such feeds as most of
those mentioned a man would soon
starve.
That is one side to the live stock
question that is brought out in an
exhibit devoted to meats.
On the other hand, meat will be
shown as a food that "sticks to the
ribs" and fulfills the demands of the
laborer, the brain worker, and the
athlete. Attention will be called to
the fact that the most powerful na
tions in the world are what might be
termed the meat caters, and that
while America has been rising to
her present eminence she nas been
one of the greatest consumers of
beef, pork, and mutton. Rut to get
from the meat the essential elements
for energy, growth, and repair it is
not necessary to eat the most ex
pensive cuts. The value of the cheap
er cuts will be demonstrated, and
ways will be shown for serving all
sorts of meals in all kinds of ap
petizing forms.
