Here it is the -middle of winter, wh^at is worth two-bits per bushel, taxes are unpaid and unpay able, dressed hogs are selling for five cents per pound, it is possible if not probable that the winter wheat is frozen out, the legislators are in Salem trying to compromise with the deficit, the county, the city and the school district are all on a warrant basis, nuny people are ill with the influenza, farm mortgages can neither be paid nor renewed, there is no money available for gasoline to farm with— and no horses—butterfat is going down every week, in fact it looks as if the old world was making its last stand against the forces of disintegration and despair. But, surely, no rain storm lasts forever. No matter how hard it rains, how black the darkness, how sharp the lightning, how deep the thunder it always ends The sun comes from behind the clouds brighter for the recent darkness, and the crops grow faster for the wetting. Someway we cannot agree with those who say that it is going to rain forever They are the same oi^s who proclaimed the pros perity of 1928 to be a new era for civilized man. Folks will go blundering on through good years and bad, through good tin es and bad like they always have and some will I e pessimistic and miserable and some will be optomistic and at least outwardly happy He who sings in the rain also sings in the sunshine and the one who weeps during the shower is likely to weep when the sun is shining This is th; new year with its inheritance of trou ble We can either muddle through it the best we can, cheerfully, or drag through it in despair. | MORO, OREGON, and Darrow Kelly were guests at the home of Mr* and Mrs. Carl Schade- wits New Years day.

Bayberry Candles for Mvi. Hoover There is much criticism of all farm movements. This is cau?_ ed, we believe, because farm prices are down to an all time low in spite of whatever efforts have been made to prevent their drop Farm leaders are in search of something new to stay the faltering price scale and they cast about like drowning men after straws Farmers might be encouraged to strengthen their cooperatives if they were fully informed about the benefits they have derived from the organization of them ft is easy to question eloquently from the curb. “What have they done for the farmer?” and it is comparatively easy to show what specific advantages have accrued to farmers bee-use of the existence of the farmer organizations. For instance in Sherman coiudy, without reference to any gains that have come to the wheat growers through national uni fication, there has been decided increases in the price of wheat be cause of the cooperatives. The storage on wheat was reduced 0075 per bushel by the farmer owned warehouse groups. The discounts were just lowered by a half on low test weight wheat due to insistent demand by the coop ratives making an increase of .02 to 03 cents per bushel on wheat in this county. The freight rate has been overcome to make a »aise in price of wheat in this coun ty from .027 per bushel at Wasco to .048 in Grtss Valley The total of these benefits at Wasco Is .0545 or nearly five and a half cents for every Lushel of wheat sold whether to the coops or not. At Grass Valley where the freight rate change is greater and where wheat averages a little less in test weight the increase is .0855 or a little over eight and a half cents per bushel. Not bad as definite results from a cooperative organization that has lived its entire period of existence during a time of falling and disorganized markets When it is easy to picture what might be accomplished if all of the farmers gave their undivided support to their own cooperative । i i use diiriim the holhlny season presented to Mrs. Herbert Hoover a box receiving the gift from Miss Suzanne physician.

It Is very apparent to those who are checking up on fash ion trends that the luxury of velvet Is being played up this winter at the ater, opera and all formal occasions to even a greater extent than hereto fore. In describing velvet fashions as are this season one is inclined to refer to them or dignified velvets so regal are they la their Imposing elegance, their Htately sweeping lines and their so phisticated simplicity. The dominance of velvet for formal wraps is especially noteworthy. In creating most of the new coats de signers seem to be working along the theory that velvet unadorned is adorned the most, for the really out standing models Jjave not an item of trimming save that formed of self- fabric. This fashion for untrimmed velvet which Is so all-prevailing among styles of highest tone Is st its most distin guished In the new floor-length coats which are almost Puritan In their sim plicity. Some of these fasten down the front with a row of velvet-cov ered buttons, as Is shown In the pic ture to the left, As to being quaint* looklng, quite as If they had stepped out of a fashion book of the early 90s or perhaps the Victorian period, many of them are just that even to the point V m m mt of being amusing. Nevertheless, in spite of their quaintness they have about them that grande dame air which Is nothing less than Impressive. In the Instance of the model pictured, the wearer has consented to depart from the untrimmed Idea to the extent of wearing an ermine bow to better accent, by way of contrast, the prim pleated high velvet collar. The big shirred sleeves are typical of fashion s doings this season. The lady seated aJso Indulge« In a full-length coat made of velvet, the re gal quality of which Is recognized at a glance. In this instance a gorgeous snble collar completes the picture of affluence. * Shown to the right Is a coat which holds to the Idea that,when velvet trims velvet to the exclusion of any other form of adornment then Is the story of fashion told In terms of ut most eloquence. This model features the blg-bow Idea which Is so highly credited In smart apparel .circles Just now. The sleeves are In perfect form accenting ns they do the new wide armhole silhouette. Relow to the left In the group we see an evening ensemble which de clares In favor of velvet for both the dress and Its detachable draped cape.
