AGRICULTURAL SPECIALIZING 1 E. F. Martindale brought in to the Sentinel Wednesday a copy ■ of Ber thoud, Colo., Bulletin, in which was mentioned the immense sums paid the growers of sugar beets in north ern Colorado, southern Wyoming and southwestern Nebraska. $21,000,000 was the amount paid by the factories, the average being »5.60 per ton and practically twelve tons to the acre. To specialise in some agricultural crop is the surest way of providing a large income for a section or district. In this southwestern Oregon it has been dairy cattle, but those who have made a study of fruit growing say that the bench lands of Coos county will grow just as flne pears and ap ples as are produced anywhere in the United States. But it takes some thing more than newspaper urging to get a movement of that kind started on the land. It requires a practical demonstration by a man who knows his stuff. stitutional provision limiting in creases in tax levies to not more than six percent a year, has been filed in the Marion county circuit court in the name of Isabelle M. A. Barnes.In the complaint it is alleged that the state tax coommission did not make adequate allowance for the intangible tax revenues when it made its an nual state tax levy in December, 1930, by reason of which taxes col lected in 1931 materially exceeded the permiasable six percent increase over tjie 1930 taxes. W. H. Baillie, former superintend ent of the state training school for boys at Woodburn, will not be able to recover from the state the $250 which he paid out to a firm of Portland law yers for defending him in the inveeti- gation a year ago growing out of burns sustained by Vernon Levey, an inmate of the school, when leg irons were removed from his limbo by the aid of a torch. Attorney General Van Winkle has ruled that the expense was incurred by Baillie on his own re sponsibility and that the state cannot be expected to reimburse him. State Treasurer Holman hae re tired $600,000 of the $800,000 loan which he negotiated on I behalf of the state to cov<r the intan- j giblei tax refunds and expects to pay back the entire amount before December 1. Repayment of the Joan was made possible by reason of the last half tax receipts. The state of Oregon may operate its own woodyard thu winter in or der to provide employment for job less men and at the same time pro vide fuel for state institutions. The proposal was made by Secretary of State Hoss at a meeting of the board of control and received the approval of State Treasurer Holman.

Winter, the grim old jailer, locks The doors of his captivity. Night blots the world out, and I pray, With light, and fire, and food, at home, “Lord, watch the dear ones far away, Lord, guide the feet of them that roam.” One threads a snowy mountain pass, And one sails on a ship at sea, And one—his bed is roofed with grass— Oh, might they all - be home with ■ me! My hbuse ia stout, my bed is warm, Wide-eyed I lie,'my prayers go far Out in the ways of dark and storm : “Oh, keep them, Lord, where’er they are!” Frances Holmstrom, McKinley, Ore. Advertising Does Pay That business can be revived speed ily if values are given prospective purchasers and that newspaper adver tising is the most powerful medium of carrying trade news to the people are * declaration of Charles B. Dulcan, vice president and general manager of The Hecht Co. of Washington. In a recent atatement he declared: “Newspaper advertising has again proved that it is the most powerful and effective advertising medium. The results are direct and instantaneous. “For the past week thousands of storm throughout America have con ducted drives for increased business because they seemed, in some myster ious way, to have reached the conclu sion that prices were at low ebb, whereas savings accounts indicated that there was money to spend for goods that had dropped way below normal. “Our own concern took this view, increased its advertising and as a result we have sold more goods every single day this past week than in our best previous year. Specifically, since last Monday we have increased our business 30 per cent in dollars and cents; we have sold 44 per cent more items in this week than in the cor responding week, 1930. We have given employment to 10 per cent more people. We showed a tenfold increase in our long-distance wires and buyers’ trips to New York. We placed more orders; shipmer’s arriving at the store were increased 20 per cent We have stopped going down.” R. A. Easton’s Weekly Letter “If We Had the Dole,” by John J. Leary, Jr.,, in the December American is a message that should be read by every man and woman who has no sympathy with the dole grafting proposition of the gold brick politi cians. Time of the Civil War my father sold hi * wool for one dollar a pound. There were those who were offered the same price and said, no, we want $1.25 or $1.50. When they sold they got lee * than a dollar a pound. A new * item in the paper a few day * ago quoted mint oil as ranging from a dollar to a dollar and a half a pound and told of a man who had something like 1400 pound * of oil on hand for which he refused $6.50 a pound. If he had the more than $8,000 which he did not get, there would not be hard times for him now. When we fully realise that in a large way, we, each one, make our own hard times, then we will realize that it is for each one to help make * own good times. hi The man who knows nothing of hard times by per sonal experience is not helping to re store good times by yelling hard time * but he can help to Mot it out by help ing some one who is experiencing th * * pang of hard times. We do not have to think that w * will not be fooled sometimes, for there are those who are abundantly able to help themselves who will work the hard timea racket. We are reading the book, “All Quiet on the Western Front,” by Remarque, a German who experienced that which he wrote. As we read it I still pray for Billie 2 and his kind of Germans and if I could fix Billie 2’s punishment he would have to reed that book through every day before breakfast, before dinner and before supper. He would get the full benefit of the dam nation, “Son, remember.” R. A. Easton. OPENING SATURDAY, NOV. 28 Fresh Stock. Extra Quality at Lowest Prices. “Service Quality and Right Prices” Our Motto.

The new functions which have to do with keeping people well, not merely protecting them from disease, call for new relationships between health officials and the people. The modern health officer watches with great care the records of birth, death and disease. The moat sensitive barometer ia the death rate of chil dren under one year of age. No longer doe * the health officer wait until communicable dieeaaes have assumed alarming proportions before attempting to stamp out an epidemic. The modern health officer’s aim ia to prevent epidemics by con trolling the first cases before the dis ease can become widespread. This is one of the reasons why every sus picious case of communicable disease should be reported immediately to the health officer. Knowing where the * case exist, physicians or nurse * may be sent to visit them and take such * precaution a* may be necessary to prevent the infection spreading. If health protection is to be com plete, it is necessary that certain foods, milk and water supplies be ssfeguarded. Milk^upplies must be frequently inspected and the cows themselves examined by veterin arians. Water must be tested fre quently to be sure that it continues to be safe to drink.

Only a generation ago typhoid fever was one of the major * cause of death, while today it ia a rarity; smallpox once was a constant visitor. At the beginning of the cen tury tuberculosis was still the chief cause of death. Diphtheria now causes about half the deaths it did ten years ago. In our comparative freedom from disease« like this we forget that our health department stand * between us and the conditions that we hope may never return.
