FEVER SCARE NOW
IN THE DISCARD
But One Case of Scarletina
Developed, and That
One Well Now
SMOKE BUT NO FIRE
Tonsilitis With Sore Threat All
That All Childran and
Ftw Adults.
Huge smokes art sometimes rauied
by a very little firei espescla'ly if
green fuel is used, In recent
scarlet fever considerable smoks
was engendered and the green fuel
was in the shape of gossip concern
lug the disease.
There has been but one esse of
scarletina in Maupin and that one
was In the lightest form. The vie-1
tim of the quarantine Is up and
about his work and is suffering no
111 after effects from the ailment.
Doctors at The Dulles diagnosed his
ailment as scarlet fever and ordered
him to stay in the house. They also
recommended immunizing all pu
pils of our schools and advised that
usual precautions be taken to Iso
late the disease. Dr. Elwood main
tained that no scarlet fever existed,
here. His diagnosis of the one case
was that it was tonsilitis. Quite a
few school children were attacked,
with sore throat, and a few
others were kept at home. At this
writing there are but a few cases of
tonsilitis in this vicinity. The same
ailment was prevalent in other sec
tions of this part of the county; in
fact there have been more cases of
tonsilitis In the upper sections than
in Maupin. t ..
' Dr. Lowe, county health officer,
visited Maupin last week. lie com
mended the action of the authori
ties for their action looking to the
isolation of possible scarlet fever
cases, and said that action was the
proper thing to have done. He
failed to state that the ailment was
scarlet fever.
Regarding the procuring of cul
tures of that disease, physicians
seem to be at sea. It is stated that
that germ has so far not been dis
covered, consequently no means
have been devised to immunize
against it. While it has been shown
thut a serum treatment is sometimes
efficacious, it is not infallible. In
diphtheretic cases the scrum treat
ment has been proven, also in small
pox. Doctors Elwood and Stoval has
been busy giving serum treatments
to children, so far 114 scholars sub
mitting and seven others having
theis epidermis punctured and
serum injected into their anatomies.
This should have the effect of
quieting the scare that there was
scarlet fever in Maupin. One thing
is certain there is no scarlet fever
of scarletina In this city at this time,
and those who are wont to trade
here can now come in with perfect
safty so for as carrying a load of
fever germs home them Is con
cerned. Another Radio Bug.
Bates Shattuck has been biten by
the radio bug and it took so hard
that our genial merchant has In
vented in an eight-tube Bremer-Tul-ly
radio set. Bates likes his sleeps,
but the new machine is cheating him
out of a grout many restful winks
these nights.

Governor Lowden Urges
Farmers to Organize
By CompUlo Organisation Farmers
Could Do As Industry Is Now
Doing la U. S.
"Agriculture cannot survive un
less we devise a better system of
marketingunless we follow our
own products to the consumer, or
nearly there, with tome control over
the price," Frank O. Lowden, form
er governor of Illinois, nationally
known as a student of agricultural
problems, and himself a fanner and
breeder of pure bred livestock, told
a large group of sheep men at a ban
quet held in Portland, Oregon, on
November 2nd, in connection with
the Pacific International Livestock
show. '
1 "It farmers were completely or
ganized they could do exactly what
industry is doing, and make up their
minds what they were going to re
ceive for their products, somewhere
in reason, and could ask that price.
If there was a difference of opinion
between them and the consumers
they would meet and thresh it out
around a table, but the farmers
would have as much voice as anyone
"yone
there."
The fact that cooperative market-;
ing associations raise the general
price level in the territory where
they operate, and that the non-member
secures some of the benefits
without sharing the expense . of
maintaining the associaton, was
pointed out by M. Lowden as one of
the conditions that render complete
organization difficult. "We have to
find power somewhere to confer up
on cooperatives to enable them to
make the non-members share the
cost." To illustrate the influence
of a cooperative marketing associa
tion in keeping prices up, and the
ruinous slump that often follows the
discontinuance of such an organiza
tion, Mr. Lowden told the story of
the Dark Tobbacco Growers of the
south who are now reorganizing af
ter a year of "outside selling" that
has left the growers in that territory
practically facing ruin.
"Agriculture is out of step with
the other forces," declared Mr. Low
den, who quoted figures from the
government reports to the effect
that farmers in the United States
last year earned 3.5 per cent on
their net capital investment and re
ceived as their year's wages an av
erage of $648.00, not taking into
account depreciations of farm build
ings and depreciation of "quipnicnt

Many, many years ago the public

pedestrians ignored it and used the
roadway in preference. Now, after

Why Not Try For
New Normal School
Ideal Locotioa, Salubrious Climate
and Easy Of Access Makes Man-
Din Desirable Location
While other eastern Oregon cities
are making bids for location of
either the new normal school or the
tuberculosis hospital, our people are
overlooking a bet by not making an
effort to have one or the other of
the new institutions located here.
This particular part of the state
of Oregon is blessed with a climate
sought after by schools and sana
tarlums; the sun shines nearly every
day in the year; it has no severe
cold weather, and the location is
ideal, being on a bench overlooking
the Deschutes river. Two railroads
bring Maupin close to the outside
sections, while The Dalles-California

SAFEGUARDING AMERICA'S IN
DUSTRIAL STRUCTURE
A notable change may be seen in
the trend of advertising nowadays.
Not so many years ago, the really
big advertisers were patent medi
cines and baking powders. Today,
Those boys ' financial advertising is featured be
when they i cause the Dublic has more monev to
invest; wageworkers who in the old
days barely existed, today have
surplus. ProSDeritV is ireneral : I
" r
there is at least a little money
everywhere, and the public has the
desire to invest The old day of in
dividual ownership of every business
is passing on. Men buy and sell col
lectively; they invest collectively,
' to get collective service that no in
dividual capital could provide.
j They buy as corporations, where
jthe very volume of the investment,
of and its creed of universal service,
makes it more safe from radical
forays of every kind.
The corporations of today are
"our" corporations, we everybody
finance their building and buy
their products from ourselves as
owners. "Public ownership" is here
in its ideal form. Railroads, big
buildings, public utilities, factories,
improvement districts, schools,
canals a thousand things that used
to be more or less exclusive picking
for the few political or financial
giants, are today for the many with
out regard to wealth or position.
America was never as truly
American as today, with every
family owning some form of in
dustrial security that pays a profit.
This is a safe and sane condition.

Names Are Suspected and They Arc

The Came Laws.
Reports have reached us that
shortly after the release of some
300 mongolian pheasants parties
were out "gunning" for them.
This was done after the open, season,
which makes the offence doubly of
fensive. The recently planted birds were
pen-raised and nearly tame. They
fell easy victims to the vandals who
killed them, as they had not had the
fear of man instilled in them.
Those "sportsmen" who hunted
them must have no respect for law,
and just what "kick" they . got out
of killing the birds is beyond us.
They would have gotten the same re
sult by going into a farmer's yard
and shooting his chickens. By do
ing that little thing they would not
have been transgressing the game
laws, although) would have been
amenable for so doing.
No doubt there will be an open
season on these birds, when killing
them will be legal: In the light of
true sportsmanship we suggest that
they be protected to the end that
they may insrease and provide better
. shooting in the future. The Chinese

POTATO YIELD
The production of the potato,
which for more than 200 years has
been one of the staple field and
garden crops of the United States,
a. has kept pace with the growth in
population on the basis of about 3
bushels per capita. In recent years
there has been an increase in the
per-acre yield of potatoes. Reports
for October indicate an acre yield
of 109.6 bushels for 1926. The av
erage for the 5-year period 1921-25
was 106.9 bushels. Increased yields
are attributed to seed selection and
proved cultivation, and crop rota
tion. OUR SENTIMENTS EXACTLY
The editor of the Salem Capital
Journal, who was defeated for the
office of state senator, concludes an
article on the election with the fol
lowing paragraph:
An independent editor who prints
the news and does . not hesitate to
express honest convictions has little
chance, for public office, especially,
when he wears the label of the
minority party, in these days of
hypocrisy which is well, for he can
better serve the people in his news
paper, pricking the bubbles of bunk.
The editor of The Maupin Times
is in hearty accord with the above.
He was defeated for the exalted of
fice of justice of the peace, but
thinks he can better serve his con
stituency by printing all the news
than by interpreting the statutes of
Oregon made and provided. ;
