OREGON, DEC. 29 1922 y The reputation that Americans are the greatest meaieating people in the world isot sustained by the facta. The 'principal meat-eating nations of ue worm, in oruer vi per tajiiw sumption, are .Argentine, Australia and New Zealand,.; with the United States standing fourth. 'There has been a decline in recent years of the per capita consumption of meat in the United States. , This is largely attHbutable to the high retail price of meat which has increased out of all proportion to 'the price' obtained by the farmer for his livestock and the prices "at which the packer and whole saler dispose of the meat to the re tailer, The reaction' of this decrease in consumption of meat is beginning 10 ub eviaent jn uie uccreoae in iue ' production' of livestock. While the stockman is becoming bankrupt rais ing beef , cattle at $7.75 per hundred ' weight, Armour & Co. will have no troublef' in financing the $30,000,000 deal that will give them, possession of the Morris packing intereBts.All of which indicates who is malting the ' profit out of the cattle 'business. -O- ,., - A "Professor' Robert McFall" who- ever he is writes in Farm Life that the "time is at hand when this nation will eat as much as St produces." The Harding 7 administration should hop ontp this line of argument. It may help to palliate the farming industry which is just about wrecked, if it can . be. injected with the big, new idea that consumption of production by the home country is at hand. But n6 such bunk can be fed to the Western farmer, who sells on the world market ' where his prices are fixed, and whose ' prosperity ebbs or flows with the fluxuations of the world market. r' !,-:,, O ; - Hereafter Japanese school children will read more of Washington, Lincoln and others of the world's statesmen, and less of militarism in their hlstor ies. A new series of historical text has ' been introduced . into the Jap anese school system, which gives further evidence of the growing pro- preference to schooling its .offspring ,in the glories of trench warfare.

"How a draft dodger reveals his calibre, when he seeks protection from the government he would not protect" Boston Herald. Yes how a tax dodger, who made millions out of the watt reveals his calibre when he seeks protection from the government that he does not support! . . . . "". . : v. r: 0 .'

Ultimately, the spoken drama may be confined wholly to the domestic circle. For there are no motion equivalents for "Where have you been?" and "Who were you with?" v .. . - c- '!:; While it is Jxue that the urban pop "dlSClon fefthe United States has, as statistics go, passed the rural, it is because it so happens we are living in a time when you can catch & great many more ruralites in town than you can town bugs in the country. , ? -o ; Maybe it would' be well to adopt generally the suggestion of the chief of police of ah Arkansas town t& have a stone pile for prisoners on the public ' square.

Each of the five senses has Its spe cial set of nerves through which sen sations are recorded In the brain. : With the exception of the nerves of touch, which extend to all parts of the body, these perform special functions for certain Individual organs, the nerves of sight being connected with the eyes, those of smell with the nose, those of tnste with the mouth, and those of hearing with the ears. . Whenever the brain receives a sud den .shock, such as ' would follow a blow on the head, the. vision nerves are disturbed In such a way as to pro duce the effect of seeing flashes of light, or "stars.! ... . The sensitive eye-nerves cannot be jarred without producing this effect of light, while a severe blow will often reuct In a similar manner on the nerves of hearing, thus leading the person who Is struck to .Imaglne that he is listening to unusual noises. .V -N Fresh Water in the Sea. .v A spring of fresh water, which weljs up through the sea off Elbury cove; Churston Ferrers, In Torbay, off the Brltlsheonst, is attracting a large num ber 'of visitors This' is the best time of the year to locate the spring, and yachts are being anchored" 'at the spot, so that visitors may taste the water. The v real source has never been found. It is surmised that the waters from the rainfall near Elbury and the northern hills finds a course In the fame valley, jand then forces Itself up through the sea at a distance of 00 to 100 yards off the beach. 1 The circular space of the fresh wa ter Is plainly visible from the rocks, and the white pebbly beach at all stages of the tide. , . Preparedness. , In one of the Southern states the ne groes are great patrons of a matri monial agency. One darky, anxious to find a wife for his son,' went to this agent, who handed him a list of lady clients. Running through this the man came upon his Own wife's name,' en tered as desirous of obtaining a hus band between the ages of twenty-eight and thirty. r . , l v Forgetting about his. son the darky hurried home to announce his discov ery to his wife. 'She was not-t all disturbed. "Yes,", she said. "I done give, him my name. , I puts it down when you was so sick in de winter and de doctor he says we ' must prepare for de worst."
