All three imust be considered together; in fact, we migth even set up a mathematical ;rule "wherein Craftsmanship plus Co operation1 'equals Coin Coin, while perhaps the primary ob 'W'tive of the labor movement today, Jan , never be permanently attained through, the substitution of the Club of Power, and Cupidity in pleof Craftsmanship and Co-operation. The fgroping of the words "labor" and l-'hiovement" indicates in itself, we and" growth paralleling modern in dustrial demands. Nowhere' else in the Un.ted States 'is the spirit' and importance of crafts irnanship better exemplified than in The -Apprentice School. , The interest and co-operation, both moral and n riicial, of trade unions and employers -organizations 1 in apprentice training is definite proof. National authority are agreed that the Portland ap prentice gaining plan? is not excelled anywhere,.,';: 'P .- . . " The Guild of Handicrafts, a national movement, which started in Portland is another indication that the dignity of labor is again coming into its own. ! Nowhere else in the United States 4s the spirit of co-operation better exemplified than in 1 the three-year agreement signed between the Build ing Trades Council and the Building Employers Association. :.The 'contin ued signing , of "sub-agreements , is proof positive of an appreciation of the value of industrial co-operation. Portland is indeed fortunate in bav ing such a fine spirit of co-operation between employer1 and labor.-' The labo group are to be complimented on their selection of leaders whd have the confidence of the public and who can and. will1 sit down with the busl: nessi man , and meet him half way in solving his industrial problems. Such outstanding , men as Gust Anderson, Ben Osbom, Bert Sleeman, Bon . Mathis and 6thers of the writor's ac quaintance are worth their weight in gold to Portland portly as some are and don't forget it. ' ' , PERMANENT , PAYROLLS .y The Oregon 1 1 State 1 Chamber of Commerce gives us the following, concerning payrolls:' "Why do business men rejoice when a new payroll comes to Oregon?-Bo-causc it means steady business for the grocer, shoe man, , department store, professional man. It means more customers for the public utili ties, wholesalers, manufacturers everybody. A new payroll every month for Oregon is found in the 75 new .families coming to this state 300 people who will be large buyers of every commodity because they are people who have money and they start immediately investing it in property, equipment, household goods ....$260,900 during the month of May. And it is a steady payroll, too, no shutdowns or slack periods. And it puts property on the tax rolls that distributes the burden wider each month. "This work is increasing in im portance. The first five months of 1928 the state chamber reported 122 new families who located in Oregon; the first five months of this year 232 new families arrived. The big sea son is just opening, During the first two weeks of June, 39 new families made Oregon their home. "The, purchasing power of the aver age family on the farm, where most of the new settlers are locating in Oregon, is estimated all the way from I 1000 to $1500 per year. In May the 75 families, therefore, increased the annul purchasing power of the people of Oregon at least $100,000. In twolvo months the new families will boost the yearly purchasing power of the people of Oregon at least $1,000,000. Certainly a payroll of tirt magnitude." 0 Oregon newspaperdom especially Portland and Umatilla county news paper offices mourn the departure of Felix Mitchell from its ranks. Printer and editor, he left the indelible im press of his kindly, trustworthy character as a friend, and his match less superiority as cftftVhmn aisl ability" as aneditofn early days at irMorJCMhena (tBen Centerville) deStet&r Whelping the late j&Wiifwk-l son build' "a great newspaper at Port-' land the Oregon Journal.

"Its purpose," he says, "is not to exclude foreign producers from our markets, but to equalize, by levying a duty, the costs of production here and in other countries." All of which sounds very good, but for the fact that the prin cipal is juggled by industry at the expense and loss to agriculture, makes the present American pro tective policy palpably elastic and un fair. o Science has discovered that coal smoke is to a large degree the cause of London fog. Substitution of smoke less heat, which is now being intro duced will no doubt make it possible for the movies to show us the Lime House district hereafter in lien of a murky fog bank and right now we make the motion that Griffith remakes "Broken .Blossoms," conforming with the new conditions. ,bK in t-, o , The -warm weather of this week has wonderfully brightened up the pros pect for a bountiful yield from the 6000-acre bean' crop in the Athena Weston' district", With plenty of mois ture and ideal ' cultivating , methods employed, the Eickhoff Farm Pro ducts company , seems to be.

The light harness classes will not be filled to the extent they were last year, and it is to the draft classes the boys are looking for success this year. The parade, as usual will be a prominent feature and will be in charge of Fay LeGrow and W. R. Taylor. Less than half those taking the re cent eighth grade examinations given for the benefit of those pupils in the county who failed at the first exami nations held in May, were successful. Out of 38 taking the tests only 15 were successful. Of the entire num ber 28 had failed the first time, while 10 were new applicants. The highest grade was made by Hazel Dowd of district No. 11, which is near Weston, her average 90. Sheldon Taylor of this city was one of the fortunate fifteen who passed. Mrs. Ora Rhodes and Miss Maggie Price spent the day yesterday at the Coppock home near town. While riding a horse at the Brother ton home this morning, Ferol McBride fell and broke her arm at the wrist. Miss Mary McKinnon left yester day for Nanton, Alberta, where she will spend a couple of months with her brother, John McKinnon. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. B. Kidder left the first of the week for Seattle, where they will lay in a large stock of wall paper, paint etc,, for their Athena store. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Koontz and Mr, and Mrs. Henry Dell, spent Sun day on the Umatilla river. The party were successful in catching trout and enjoyed the outing. Miss Fay Gerking returned last week from Milton where she visited several days, and will remain with friends here until after the Fourth of July, when she will return to her home in Crook county. Miss Maggie Price came down from her home at Pullman, Wash., last Friday and is visiting at the home of Mr. nriH Mrs. O. A. Rhodes and other friends in this city. Miss Price is a stenographer and has a position m Colfax. A. N. Mayville, who comes from Le Grande, is opening a cigar store on Main street He will manufacture cigars for the wholesale and retail trade, and will carry a stock of can dies, fruits, nuts, etc. Mr. and Mrs. Mayville have moved into the Swag gart cottage on Jefferson street. Charles Miller, alias C. H. Ireland, is in jail charged with horse stealing. The fellow hired a team at McBride's barn in this city, saying that he want ed to go o the Bryan place north of town. Instead he took the road to Walla Walla. McBride became sus picious and phoned to Milton. At that place Miller tried to sen tne team. He was immediately placed under arrest. Radio Idea Old Eadlo communication Is not an in vention, nor in reality a discovery. The theory was known long befora anybody was able to apply It in prac tice. Numerous Inventors were try ing to devise apparatus that would make the theory work. For this rea son, several different practical sys tems of wireless telegraphy appeared about the same time. Marconi had the good fortune to be first, but he distanced his nearest competitors by only a short time. It wns only by ac cident that electrical communication by wire was perfected before electri cal communication without wires, as both are implied In the electrical knowledge that preceded them, and In ventors were working In both fields for many years before anybody In either group succeeded. Humors Are Hormones Another belief of the old-time doc tors has been upheld. What they called "humors" In the blood has proved to be the modern "hormones" which are secreted from certain duct less glands and cot from the heart and liver as once believed. The old time dotors claimed the disposition of their patients and some of their ills were due to these "humors." Scien tists now admit that they were not far wrong and declare that the "hor mones" play an enormously Important part In determining the disposition of an individual. Hollow Wall Deadens Sound Soundproofing Involves careful study and practice, and scientists are Just beginning to discover the proper way to protect Interiors against noise. Among other interesting facts they have learned Is that, under ordinary conditions, various materials that are supposed to deaden sound actually transmit It, so great care has to be exercised In constructing walls or other areas mak? them soundproof. For example, hollow walls, In many Instances, are better Insulators against sound than those with an Inner space filled with snwdust.-'-Popular Me chanics Magazine. Continental Oil Company ;;';!
