He says: “What we need is fewer laws o’ the statute books, more respect fo law and more regard for justice in the minds and consciences of men. I do not mean that we should take less interest in government. “On the other hand we should take a more active interest than ever before. The greatest trouble is that too mtu of us have persued the even tenor ol our way and left the affairs of state to ¿he politicians and soap box ora tors. The result has been that the highest offices within the gift of the people have been brought into more or less disrepute and are seldom sought by men of marked ability and high principles. “We have defaulted in our obliga tions to society and need an aroused public conscience (with particular reference to our duty as citizens a? it relates to the affairs of state and conduct of our government.” Regalar Proceee Tou can forgive a man who has wronged you; but If .you have wronged him you must hate him more aud more te keep your conscience soothed. —Dnhith Herald. BILL THE'BARBER^ SAVS WI> m I EiHtaates of th« 19^5 wheat ¿rop are beginning to be made in the grain trade, but the estimates are mere guesses at present. Crop news, however, from all parts of the northwest is exceptionally good Weather and soil conditions hav< been excellent. Some farmers be lieve there will be as large a crop of spring wheat this season as o- winter wheat in the average year— which is a forecast that does not appear unreasonable at this time. Grain men’s estimates vary wide ly. Some place the 1925 yield foi the northwest as high as 90,000,000 bushels, as compared with 60,000.- 300 bushels last year. Others think 0,000,000 bushels will be nearer the mark. . Some authorities estimate the United States wheat crop at 200,- 000,000 less than last year. If that estimate should prove true, it may happen that the northwest will have i big crop and a big price. Middle west crop '* reports, especially in Indiana and Illinois, are not en couraging. Reports coming frorr. nearly all the big wheat producing states -of the middle west state that fields that had looked most promising for large returns at harvest were now developing into nothing but straw, the heads having very few wheat kernals in the mesh. One re port stated that farmers in an aren JOO miles square were cutting all their wheat for hay because of this condi tion. About six weeks ago the mid dle west wheat belt experienced an extremely hard freeze very similai to that through which Sherman county passed last December. As a result of the optimistic market reports farmers are disposed to will hold further contracting, of loca' wheat deliveries. A number of local farmers have contracted delivery for part of their crop at varying prices ranging from >1.25 to slightly bet ter than >1.35 a bushel. Roy F.

A* be spoke I called to mind the figure of an old man I had seen the last time I passed through the country town where I spent my childhood. He was sitting on the station platform whittling and watching the train go through. He was bent, unshaven, un kempt—the living picture of failure. I saw him first when L was seven and he a strong young fellow of thirty He was running the grain elevator then with good business prospects, but he didn't like it; it did not seem to suit him. He bad talents. He sang in the church choir, he lead the vll lage band, he presided st public meet ing« He gave up the elevator shortly and opened a grocery store. He tried fanning and market gardening; he ran a news stand; be was postmaster, but he never put his best effort into any one of these activities, because he was not Interested; he thought it was not what he was cut out for. He couldn’t Just get down to It lie drifted from Presbyterian to Christian Science; his political favor ites ranged from St John and Grover Cleveland- to Theodore Roosevelt. He stuck to no principle or profession, he got nowhere because he could not find anything that really held his interest Men with half his talent snd one fourth of bls opportunity far eut stripped him. and because he was nevei willing to do well the tiling at hand he found himself at seventy-five no further than the station platform I see men like him every day. They have opportunity to get training, but they are not satisfied, they are look Ing for some more interesting, more suitable, less exacting work. .

The man who succeeds does more difficult disagreeable, unpleas ant, uninteresting things than does the aversge man.

C. Luttrell, Proprietor, Moro, Oregon The department of agriculture e? timates that the United States ha: between 450,000 and 475,0000 mile: of surfaced roads. The report call» attention to certain wrong ideas tha‘ are current about road improvement “For the movement of every ve hide over the road, there is a certair cost, which is less if the road be im proved than if it be left in a state ol nature. Logically, therefore, thi limit that should be placed on ex penditures for road improvement i: the amount that can be saved ii vehicular operating costs. All roadt should be improved to the maximun degree that their traffic justices, but no road should be improved beyonc no road should be improved beyoni its earning capacity.” Another mistaken idea is that there is such a, thing as a permanent road. However, state highway depart ments now understand that all roads regardless of type, gradually depre ciate and wear out under the wheeh of vehicles and action of the weather. Asphaltic types of road construc tion are probably the most perma nent.
