In the Square Deal, a prison paper edited and printed by imputes of the Maryland Penitentiary and House of Correction, one reads that “ prisoners here and in flie House of Correction earned for themselves $149.- 000 last year. Much of this sum went to the wives and children, some of it lias been placed in hanks and some has been spent for the little things which make for com­ fort.” Is there need for any further arguments regard­ ing the advisihility of the system ? GOOD CHEER IN RAIN Gentle rain again. Gentle and warm. Winter, western Oregon style Good for growing crops. And for ducks. And for people. Schools looking forward already to the Christmas holidays. People you meet carrying bundles. Crowds about the store windows. Other crowds inside the stores. Christmas greenery here and there. Lucky the farmer who has a few oak trees bearing mistletoe. They offer a potential harvest. Plans afoot to give Christ­ mas cheer to the poor. Family conferences called to see that Dad gets his usual Christmas necktie. Good humor. Good cheer. December. IRRIGATED LANDS AND FARMERS The state emergency board lias just voted $18,516.39 to meet state obligations on interest guarantees for irriga­ tion district bond issues. The deficiency is caused by de­ linquent taxes in the districts affected. The reason the taxes are delinquent is that the farmers on the projects do not pay them. The reason they do not pay them is that they cannot. . tto tlie farmers for land and water on many of the eastern Oregon irrigation projects is so high that they cannot possibly hope to make farming profitable un­ der the capital outlay. Other causes contribute to their plight but this is the principal one. The lure of govern­ ment or state aid is usually what takes the farmers to such projects. They think that government sponsorship of a project ought to be a guarantee of its soundness for those who participate. Having put all their money into the land and water and plunged themselves into the morass of debt they are left to flounder and they do so. They live under hard conditions and they toil from dawn to dark 'out they do not, because they cannot and nobody could, prosper under the conditions. Weii might government, state and federal, concern itself more with measures of aid to farmers already on irrigation projects ami with putting more farmers on the vast unfarmed areas of those projects under conditions which would give them a chance to live and earn a living, tio n h a s s p re a d o v e r th e S ta te , th e C o m m issio n e r has been sw anifted w ith te le g ra m s , te le ­ p h o n e c a lls a n d le tte rs fro m a n x ­ io u s a v ia to rs of th e ir re la tiv e s a s k in g w h e th e r h e w as sin c e re in h is ex p ressed p u rp o se to fire a t a irp la n e s fo u n d v io la tin g th e g am e law s. “ No a v ia to r w ould be sa fe fly- EXECUTOR’S SALE N O TIC E IS' H E R E B Y G IV EN , T h a t th e u n d e rsig n e d a s execu­ to r, w ill sell a t p riv a te sa le a t a d ecid ed b a rg a in on lib e ra l te rm s, th e J o h n M.
