High Lights in the Coolidge- Speech. President Coolidge, in his speech of acceptance, places emphasis upon what he considers o be the Re publican party record of accomplishment. Apparently, so far as he is concerned, the campaign is to bo made upon that basis, "with promises for the future made sec ondary. He is willing, it seems, to have .his administra tion and that of his late predecessor judged by the record. Ho recounts as Republican accomplishments the curbing of government extravagance through the budget system and reduction of. the national debt by two and three quarters billions, reduction of taxes upon tho peo ple, ratification of important treaties with five nations designated as of world-wide importance and of 42 other treaties of lesser moment, and the liquidation of obliga tions of thirteen billions owed to us by foreign peoples. Ho lauds the measures taken to restrict immigration, ex cept tho Japanese exclusion feature of tho new law, which he condemns. Ho extols the Washington confer enoe lor limitation of.naval He says the foreign policy of America is best do scribed in one word peace. Ho refers to tho European reparations conference, and points to the prospect for ratuicauon or tne Dawes plan. Ho declares wo have striven for bettor relations in Latin America. As always, an advocate of tho high protoctiyo' tariff, the president declares that by means of this tariff "wo have saved American agriculture, labor and industry from the menace of having their great homo market de stroyed through the dumping u)on it of a flood of for eign products." Under tho protective tariff, Mr. Coolidgs thinks, we "have come into an era of prosperity and plenty." - ' Ho declares that as many as 15 laws have been en acted since 1921 for the aid and support of agriculture. These included extension of farm' credits relief to the cattle industry, "diversification and financial relief in the Northwest" and loans to marketing associations. Notwithstanding these efforts, tho president admits, iriculture has been subjected to an era of the most Berious ueproFBiou.. Now, he sets out, prices have bogun t- improve. Ho does not claim credit to the high tariff l..w for it. He says: "but tho fundamental remedy was provided, as it always must be provided, not so much through legislative Jaws as through the working out of economic laws. Because the. fanners havo thoroughly realized this they have opposed price fixing by legis lation." Here, it would seem, Mr. Coolidgo makes a declaration with which thero will not bo unanimous agree ment, VecauBo it is rather a general impression that many farmers have fa,vorod price fixing. After advocating flood control and other measures fo. the benefit of fanners of tho middlo west and lakes regions, tho prosident declares he proposes to appoint a committee to investigate and report measures to con gress for tho benefit of agriculture. "I want to soo the dollar of the farmer always purchase as much ns any other dollar," said the president. "I want further tax reduction and moro tax re form," he declares. He opposes excess profits taxes and high surtaxes. Merag. that - suuh taxes defoat 'wieir own purpose by drying up sources of revenue, thus leaving thudu paying lower rates to furnish ulT the taxes. On tho subject of dishonesty in government office ho sr.nis up his remarks thus: "Tho peoplo of this country hate corruption. They know my position. They know the low will bo enforced." Ho opposes extension of government ownership, He favors tho federal child labor amendment. Ho advocates clean election campaign methods. These are some, though not all, of tho Jiigh lights in tho president's speech. Altogether it is an ablo docu ment. It carries to tho reader conviction of the presi dent's sincerity in what he advocates, whether or not there bo agreement with all his. views. The school board at Grants Pass has decided to in augurate a course in agriculture in tho high school there. It is to bo a three-year course to avail themselves or it at : should and doubtless will provo of great value. Farming j is an occupation which in ns great degree as any other calls'for special training. Much of this is of. a kind , which eau be obtained ;only on terms. But there also is much of 5t that can be taught in a competent school ; course. ?And the boy . who 'obtains Jhis instruction will have n long running start over tho one whb does not do ; so when they both settle down to active farming. . . Professor Q. R. Hyslop, head of tho farm crops tie ! partment of Oregon Agricultural college, declares that what is needed to insure good potato yields in tho 'Wil lamette valley is good seed, careful culture and plenty of water. If these things are provided, Professor llyslop said, yields of 300 to 400 bushels to the acre of potatoes may be looked for, as- against the 100 bushels now ob tained in most cases. Another argument for irrigation, and a striking one.

Rippling Rhymes By WALT SIASON MY HOME "Thla ia my home," 1'va often aald. "my shack, nty henhouse and my abed, and only Death can come and say, 'My friend, you'll have to move awuy'." It ia aolace, fine and great, to walk about my small estate, to view the pump, the concrete walks, the clothesline and the cabbage stalks, the lawn awing and the tree and vine, and know that all these things are mine. No landlord ever looms in view to tell me that tha rent is due; no bailiff pauses at my gate to big me pay or pull my freight. No man in rented house ran feel tbe thrills that through my .person steel, as I survey my chaste abode, with sbsdy elms along the road, with picket fence, pleasing pink, and basin where the birds may drink; my eyes, beholding, fairly ahlne. I awell with pride, the place ia mine! I've counted every stone and atick, I know the color of each brick, I know the nail holes in the wall, and every crack, however small, and if a shingle or a slat should slip aside, Pm wise- to that. I pity much the roenfd gent who spends hia lifetime paying rent; though he may live in stately' hall with priceless paintings on the well, though he may have a butler stem, snd Jewelry and cars to burn, he can not know the joy and prUe with which my bosom Is supplied, when I survey my henhouse fine, and cry.

THE AGONY OF HUMILIATION Chapter 41 All the giory of Leah'a wonderful flame colored gown had been ruined. She bent her head and surveyed the ruin while her heart fluttered with the sickening sorrow of her plight. Peter waa bending over her making futile attempta to mop 'up the yel lowish brown coffee with his hand kerchief. She knew that everyone must be looking at them. She wished Peter would go away. If he. would only stop! . She felt sure people were laughing st them and his stupid clumsiness. She' had thought he would be auch a comfort to her and now he had brought disgrace upon her. She had been relying upon his bigness for support snd a background for her pride, and now that very awkward bigness of his had brought only hu miliation. Of course people were laughing at them. Leah pressed her hand against "Peter' sand tried to push it away. He was only making matters - worse. It wss hopeless for him to expect to make that hideous stain look any better. "Don't please!" she whispered tragically. Peter looked flushed and foolish. He atood np with his hnndkerchief now a damp yellow rag dangling from hia hand. He had pushed back the sleeves of his dress suit and the cuffs of his shirt dropped ungrace fully around his wrists. Leah glanced around her and tried to amile bravely. Her eyes suddenly met Rosalind'a' where she sat beside Guy at the end of the table in an amused smile. Leah got Its meaning instantly. It pierced to her very heart, Then she saw Rosalind turn to Guy and aay something.. She dropped her eyes quickly. She had seen all ber broken heart could en dure. She struggled to her feet. "Please, Peter! Go go and leave me, won't you? she pleaded in an undertone, as Feter leaned toward her. Peter did not answer. He lust stood mutely by, snd gripped the stained handkerchief in his big Land. Leah turned to one of the men by her side. He had jumped to his feet and was looking compassionately upon her.
