HIGH COST OF UVING The federal novfrnment baa launched a relentleaa war agalnat profiteering. Various atat are following thla exam ple and countleaa cltlea are aUo taking itepa to ae that the high coat of living la reduced. All these efforta, however, are doomed to failure unless the people tbemeelvea take a hand In the matter. Unless the men and woman who do the buying Insist on getting full value for their money and patronlxa only thone march ante who are satisfied with le gitimate profits. It will be Impossible to reduce prices to where they should be.

"In the Columbia basin region," says Professor Barss, "the most de sirable chemical or use for grain treatment for smut prevention is cop per sulphate or blue stone, but ex tensive investigations at the exper iment sttaion have shown that this produces a large amoun or injury with most lots of seed due to pene tration of he copper sulphae nrougn the small cracks which almost al ways occur in the seed coat just ov er the germ, resulting from ordinary threshing.

SUFFERING IS UNSURPASSED. There la a Tenacious Clinging to Life and Faithful Observance of AH Religioua Dictates. By NEAL McNEAL. Has human endurance any limit7 At Just what level of poverty, suf fering, hunger and disease does the last flicker of hope fade out in the hu man breast and merciful Death bring welcome obliv'on? Certain it is that human belngghave In the past aurvlved days, weeks, even months, of unbelievable physical tor ture and mental anguish and, surviv ing, have returned again to normal. It Is equally certain that all previous records of what human beings can en dure and yet live have been broken by the experiences of the 6,000,000 Jew ish men. women and children In East ern Europe during the four years just past Now that relief workers have pene trated into the affected portions of the Old World, the full story of European Jewry's four years of horror Is coming U light. The majority of the Jews abroad, according to reports now in the possession of the American Jewish Re lief Committee, have lost their homes, their possessions, their health, one r more members of their families have been bereft, In fact, of everything that mnkes life worth the living. In hun dreds of thousands of cases these un fortunates are so deadened by their endless misery tbat they have all but lost tbe desire for life itself. The Jewish population of whole districts lias not known a full ftieai in years, while there are almost 1,000,000 chll dreu alone who have either forgotten or have never known what milk tastes like. As a result all the diseases at tendant upon starvation and lowered vitality- are raging. "It ii difficult to believe," writes Dr. Boris D. Bogen, executive director of Jewish relief work in Poland, "that humanity can endure suffering to such an extent as Is found here. The situa tion is so depressing that I think it miraculous people still continue to live. The number of homeless children seen on the streets is appalling. "The amount of food fs very limited, and, practically speaking, none is to be bought In the open market. It is remarkable that the people still con tinue their schools for educating the children according to ancient Jewish custom, and in this respect do not lose heart." Tbe above is typical of the accounts f tbe plight of the Jews in Europe tbat are received at the American Jew ish Relief Committee headquarters at?j 15 East Fortieth street. New York. These reports furnish the answer to the question as to how much human beings can suffer and still live. The present condition of the Jewish peo ple abroad, according to all the infor mation available. Is the last word ia human suffering and the utter limit of human endurance. that a certificate of the county clerk be filed wi,th the secretary of state where a chattel mortgage covered a motor vehicle or migratory chattel, as it is designed in the act, notices have been received n the office of the se cretary of state of the filling of 3840 chattel mortgages in the various counties of Oregon.
