I am offering this week a 20-acre tract within the city limits of
Heppner, with a good, four-room house, concrete cellar, fine well
with wind-mill and reservoir, fair sized barn, chicken house and
other out-buildings, some fruit trees. A bargain at
$2,000.00
I also have for sale a number of fine wheat farms and stock
ranches and can suit almost any buyer in the matter of acreage or
price.
Fire Insurance
I write insurance on almost everything that is combustible. I rep
resent six of the largest Old Line Insurance Companies on earth.

HOVSER DENIES REPORT
My attention "has been called to
newspapers throughout this grain
tone in which bold headlines pro
claim that I have warned farmers
against hoarding wheat, saying that
they would be held liable as profit
eers. I am at a loss to know where this
story could -have originated, as there
is no possible basis for any such
statement in our General Bulletin
No. 7, which is quoted In connection
with these statements.
Such a construcUon of this bulle
tin is nothing less than deliberate
misrepresentation. This general bul
letin No. 7, copy of which wag sent
you, merely stated that "No storage
premiums would be added to basic
prices at the present time, nor saW
there accumulates in the grain cor
poration's hands a sufficient reserve
of wheat to inswe a measure' of pro
tection for future home requirements
tc." . . ,i
I wish to state again emphatically,
as I have stated many times before,
that the sole object of the United
States grain corporation is to see that
the guaranteed price on wheat is
maintained, and that no farmer shall
get less tfiian that amount.
We are devoting our best efforts to
attain this object and in carrying out
the other duties prescribed by the
Wheat Control Act.

never Imagined that a t ad might be

that there have been tonds of mnr

With a Proviso.
James was fond of one of his moth

One day, when he had been particular
ly well entertained by her, he remark
ed: "Aunt Margie, when I grow up
I'm going to marry you." Then he
looked at her thoughtfully and added :
That Is, if you last long enough."

Price raising, in itself, is not prof
fiteering. Killing a man, in itself,
is not murder. The motive behind
the act is what counts. The clerk
whose increased living expenses com
pell him to ask for a raise in salary
is net a profiteer. But the man who
lioaids food in the hope that he will
t? able later to sell his stock at a
higher price, which may result from
his own act in withholding it from
sale at the present time, is a profiteer
and will be treated accordingly. You
can define profiteering fairly accu
rately as an effort to take undue ad
vantage of present conditions by at
tempting to create prices not justified
by the familiar economic law of sup
ply and .:emand.
i!mt profiteers have been much in
tre public mind. There is no Federal
statute to punish this offense, al
though steps have been taken in
many cities to keep prices at a fair
level. Rents have, beyond doubt,
soared, up to enormous heights in
many places. But it is only within
I the past two years that landlords, as
' a class, have had their innings. In
preceding years, especially in closely
settled districts, the supply of houses
has generally exceeded the demand.
Landlords were therefore obliged to
pursue tenants with all sorts of In
ducements. Owners of property for
rent had, as a rule, considerable dif
ficulty In making It pay a fair return
on the Investment. But the present
difficulty ever Fince the war
brought building activity to a full
stop is to keep 'the landlord from
becoming too much exhilarated by the
fact that he has at last got the tenant
exacly where he wants 'him. Rent
profleerlng should be carefully dealt
with. Otherwise the money now In
vested in dwellings and other build
ings for rent may be diverted Into
other Investments more satisfactory
perhaps to the landlord but fur less
convenient for anyone who wants to
rent a home, apartment, or office.
The other most conspicuous class
of profiteers comprise those who
liold bark food Muffs from the mar
ket in the biller that rising prices
will raise Hill further. It Is an old
Idea, hateful to men of every race
nd era. It Is now prohibited by Fed
eral statute, and the punishmeat Is
severe. The convicted food profiteer
can be fined and locked up; but even
before he is convicted his goods ran
be seUed; "if adjudged to be hord
ed, they rfhall be disposed of by sale
In audi manner as to provide the
most equitable distribution thereof."
Th. profiteer thus loses his liberty
nd the amount of Ms fine; also the
profile he eipected to make by hoard
ing, plus th. eipense of lltlgatloon.
This statute, however, wse passed
In the aires, of our early war legis
lation, and "has loophole through
which various offender have been
hie to escape. Attorney General
Palmer, larking more drastic leglMa
tlon, baa asked for the widest public
discussion of the subject. Law and
proaecutlont will do much, but pub
lic opInioD will accomplish still more.
