SATIRES HOME TOWN
In the January numb;r of Tho
American Mercury lTimld S. Davis
contributes a story under the cap
tion, "A Town in Eastern Oregon."
Id the story, which is semi-fiction,
the writer mentions "a town on the
south bant of the Columbia river,
at the foot of the middle rapids,
where the deep cliffs of the river
forye break southward into low,
pleasant bills." It docs not require
the knowledge of a geographer to
recognize the place as The Dallos.
-Davis goes back into ancient his
tory of the place and with all the
anthema at his command stigma
tiiea the place as being one that con
tained all the elements of lawless
Bees, lewdness and vileness. He
sneers at the early attempts of mis
sionaries to civilize the Indians,
maligns the early settlers and .thru
out his article tlurs the town gener
ally. .v In the text of bis article the writ
er deliberately falsifies the popula
tion number, saying that the census
of -the city shows a population of
but 3.0C0, while it is well known
that better than 8,000 people reside
there.
Davis Is a product of The Dj!le.
ll.i father wrs for many veers as-e-
-sor to W;:jco county and during
h.s runy terns in office gave em
jiuyment t0 the son. The office of
assessor provided the means where
by Harold Davis secured an educa
tion, and to now turn and satirize
the town that contributed greatly
toward that education is like carry
ing out the old saying "he bit the
hand that fed him."
We have been told that the term,
"Gros Ventre," which name he ap
plies to his subject town, means, in
the Indian language, "big belly." If
that is true it seems to us that being
of that tribe the writer chowed the
name's truth by using a heap of
guts when he deliberately maligned
the town which made him the writer
he a-'pires to be.
' HOPING AGAINST HOPE
All the t!k about commodities
and suffering workmen and starving
farmers and profiteering manufac
turers only ierves to gloss over the
fact that the greatest bone of tariff
dissension is politics.
The "tariff farce" iz very much
like a play, with its heroes, heavies
and villains. It runs the gamut
from comedy to tragedy. The "de
fenders" of the people rise to smite
those w-ho would increase tariff du
ties, and the "guardians" of pros
perity smite back at those who would
lower duties. It is all very pretty
nd trival.
In the meantime the real pro
ducers of our prosperity, the work
ers, fanners and manufacturers, go
on in the hope that some day the
senate will condescend to consider
the tariff problem as a highly
scientific business question instead
of a great political plum tree plant
ed and maintained by all the people
for the special benefit of a few
"servants" of the people.
A fair tariff is to protect home
wage scales and living conditions
and treat foreign producers justly.
Its primary object is not to furnish
an exchange medium for log rolling
and vote bartering between am
bitious public "servants." The
Manufacturer.
BETTER THAN LETTERS

liction in letter writing. Many peo

himself in Maupin. Here is an ex
ample for others to emulate.
Now that women's underthings
are, being made from wood we may
expect that when a girl craves a
change of such she will go to the
woodpile with a hatchet and carve
a suit or slip from a chunk of wood.
The fellow who tried to negotiate
the Maupin grade at high cpeed last
Sunday and who wrecked his Essex
roadster will pay for his recklessness
by digging up a tidy sum when the
repair bill cpraes ia , '.

Peas in the Vegetable Plate
A LUNCHEON or dinner
J which contains no meat is
(7 occasionally enjoyable in the
summer, and of all the vegetables
which are especially adapted to such
dishes, the pea is one of the best.
It contains some protein which, com
bined with a comparatively small
amount of cheese or eggs, will give
enough for a really hearty meal, and
by using canned peas for the main
food and fresh vegetables for the
accessories, time and expense arc
saved.
Peas in Patties
In the plate dinner illustrated, peas
are served in a patty shell with a
cheese sauce over them. Slices of
fresh tomato and parsley potatoes

DARING DEVIL DOCS!
Thy Vest "The Leatherneck" With

Members of the United States Ma

roast with tomato sauce. The roasl
consists of canned peas, walnuts am?
bread crumbs combined with a thick
white sauce and egg, and baked un
til brown and attractive. It is then
sliced and served with tomato sauce.
Canned peas may be combined
equally well with a nsh or meat
salad to form the foundation of a
cold meal. A salad composed of
water-cress, tuna fish, peas and
celery, could be served with fruit
muffins or baking powder biscuits
and would form almost a meal in
itself.
For breakfast'or luncheon, an egg
omelette may he spread with creamed
peas just before folding over, and
surrounded with creamed peas on
the serving dish, A small amount
of minced pimicnto also adds an
enticing note of color when the bits
are sprinkled over the omelette.

was made, an uncounted throng heard
the tribute over the network of the

he Is 11,000 miles distant from this

"Malcolm P. Hanson, as Chief Radio

Operators' Association, for the n.ost

Mr. Sarnoff related how Hanson
planted his slender steel towers on the
edge of the great Ice barrlor, cheered
'bis comrades with new from home
and gave the world for the Hrst time
a thrilling dally uccount of a polar
' expedition. Those tilings hIouh would
' have been a contribution to history,
he said, but tlan.;on added to radio
' knowledge by testing signals against
the polar sky, obaerved the phenomena
' of the Aurora AuKtralls and made a
record of radio behavior under condl-
i Hons hitherto unknown. To Mrs. Hau-
: son, Mr. Sarnoff said : .
"Your sacrifice was all the greater
because soon after your husband
sailed for the Antarctic, you bore him
a child. No medal can ever reward or
repay you for your own courage and
i heroism."
