CZZZZ i , , , TEACHER'S OPPORTUNITY TO AID SCHOOL CHILDREN The strength of the United States depends upon the practical patriot ism and sound economic thought of her future citizens. These charact eristics mutet be developed in the daily life of the school, says William Mather Lewis, director savings di vision, treasury department.

No man is normal who is not in touch with the soil." So laid Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, formerly head of the government's pure food bureau and known as the "father of the pure food laws," in an address be fore the members' forum at the Chamber of Commerce Monday. Dr. Wiley departed far afield from his usual stamping grounds in regard to pure food, health and long life, and becme an able champion of the tillers of the soil, declaring that he himself was a farmer "and a good one." In the course of his instruc tive and entertaining lecture the noted pure food expert san-astically tn pvprnl measures to be I til 1 I Mr - - - voted on by the people of Oregon at the coming election. Speaking of the- anti-vaccination , measure, which had previously been assailed in no uncertain terms by Dr. Alexander Fleischner, assistant secretary of the Metropolitan Life i Insurance company, Dr. Wiley de clared that the title of the bill was) a misnomer and that it should be ; called "a bill for the increase in , mortality in children." j "Never before have I been in a j ! community where matters pertain-, ing to public health have been taken i out of the hands of experts and put ' to a vote before the people," de clared Dr. Wiley. "I do not think1 that a parent in this state who has children of school age will vote for i this measure, because it means that , the school children will not be pro-! tected against contagious diseases. But the subject that evidently lay j nearest the speaker's heart was the I problem confronting the agricul-' tural industry as a whole throughout the country the problem of organ ization, so that a just return could be guaranteed tho farmer for the capital invested. "The farmer himself has never been able to set the price for his product," declared Dr. Wiley. "It! has always been set by someone higher up. A good example can be found in the food administration of tha late war. The manufacturers, the millers and the middlemen were guaranteed a certain return on their product; the farmer was guaranteed a minimum for his wheat. This so called minimum turned out to be a maximum, with the result that the j farmer was left in the lurch, as J usual. "I am not in favor of any organi- zation that will take the individual ity away from the individual, but I ' am in favor of a union of farmers ' whereby a reasonable return for his product is insured and an increased productivity will follow.'' After a summary in regard to his position in regard to agriculture, in which he pointed out that every cen sus return showed an increased con gestion in the large cities and re affirmed his belief that the answer lay in a policy of educating the peo ple to keep in touch with the soil, Dr. Wiley turned his attention to the pre'sent monetary system, de claring that he believed he had dis covered a medium of exchange that would prove invariable under all economic changes. "We need a standard of value that does not change," he said. Gold, our present standard, has ! changed considerably during the i last two or three years, because gold is cheaper now in that it will buy only half as much as formerly. We need a Kf-nndnivl nf uoliv, Ut ' v. .alur. Lllilb Itf in- i variable. "I believe that I have found rucv, a I standard, and I am the only -person I in the world who advocates this principle. I refer to a standard which I have named 'Valdex,' which is nothing more nor less than the value of the amount of food neces sary to support an average man for period of one day.
