SHE IS A TOUGH VOYAGE, MATE
' It never rains but it pours. 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.

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

ELVET continues to hold sway In
high places. 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

armhole silhouette.
