THK FINANCIAL SITUATOIN.
Happenings throughout the United
States that are related to the econ
omc and financial situation are more
widely known to the average man
than ever before, because nowadays
the average man Is interested.
Stock prices, railroad events, and
similar incidents of a purely business
nature are regarded by the public
press as live news and are used as
such. The light of publicity has been
so clearly focussed on the subject of
high costs that radical changes in the
scale are very quickly transmitted to
the public at large. Thus the man
In the street may know almost as
soon as the banker and broker when
a rise has occurred; the one thing
that is not common knowledge is
cause. Kvery new development in
such a condition as the United States
now faces can be ascribed to a defi
nite cause, and the next change, can,
in a small measure, at least, be ex
pected with assurance, providing com
plications do not arise.
An Illustration of this: it Is more
than, probable that men's clothing
dealers foresaw the recent cut in
clothing prices. The point beyond
which buyers would not go had been I
reached, and a lower price was ab
solutely necessary if present stocks
were to be moved.
Dut In epite of the well defined
trends and marked indications,
there Is bo much in the economic
structure that conflicts that no one
can, with certainty, visualize future
developments. American business
men have begun to philosophize, and
their philosophy divides Into two
schools. There are those who pre
dict an, early return to a price level
that somewhat approximates the pre
war level, and there are others who
see In the present liquidation nothing
but a flurry, and these expect a re
turn to a new normal as soon as the
railroad tangle Is undone.
All, however, are agreed that the
recent downward trend of prices has
u basic cause 111 these factors: Fed

Industries In the matter of credit,

sey, appear appropriate:
"The American Legion has taken
a very positive stand that as an or
ganization, it should never take any
definite part in any dispute between
the employerd or the employe, or
between capital and labor. This pol
icy should be adhered to, strictly by
the national organization, state or
ganizations and by the posts as well
In any such controversy, the inter
est of the Legion is confined to that
of the maintenance of law and order
and without taking part on either
side, in case the situation should
arise where life and property are en
dangered, it is the duty of a mem
ber of the American Legion to per
form his full duty as a citizen, ac
cording to his own conscience and his
own understanding. Because of his
military service, the ex-service man
has a very keen sense of his respon
sibility. Therefore in case of a con
tingency as above outlined, it is bis
duty to assist in the maintenance of
law and order by acting as an indi
vidual and offering his services to the
duly constituted authority for the
maintenance of law and order.
4 There Is nothing to prevent the
individual members of the American.
Legion, as an individual, from talk
ing either side In such a controversy,
but the American Legion as an or
ganization, should not do so,

MONSTER PIKE A "PIRATE"
English Villagers Feasted on Fish
Which Had Been Cutting Anglers'
Lines for Years.
A pirate was caught and killed re
cently In the little old English vllinga
of Beeston St. Lawrence, Norfolkshire.
and his remains were cut up and
shared between the old age pensioners,
who voted, him very tasty, au exeham'e
reports. The good people of Beeston
St. Lawrence are not cannibals, and
for the benefit of those not acquainted
with the legendary lore of that pnrt
of England It must be explained that
this pirate was a monster pike which
terrorized the waters of the lake In
Beestone for upward of thirty years.
The pike, which hod the reputation
of being the most artful fish In the
world, earned the name of "the1 pirate"
because of his predatory raids on fish
ermen's lines whenever they hooked
nnythlng. Anglers came from miles
around to try and cntch the freebooter,
but the fish was too clever for the
most exrert plscntor.
According to stories told over mugs
of ale ot the village Inn the "pirate"
was hooked only once, and in a vicious
rnge he broke the line and escaped.
Yet the h.uior of catcnlng hi in goes to
a young ex uoldler who hud been pike
fishing on:v four times In his life.
The night of the enpture they held
H guessing contest In the village as
!o the actual weight of the "pirate,"
the prize being tho fish Itself. He
weighed 20 pounds 1 ounce, measured
Ave feet and hud n girth of two feet.

FOUND POTATO IU GS AT IiOAKD-MAN.
Adolph Skobo, of Boardman,
sends a copy of a lotter he recently
wrote to H. K. Dean, superintendent
of the Hermlston Experiment Station,
regarding the discovery of potato
bugs on his place which is of interest
The letter follows:
Dear Mr. Dean:
While I was at Hermlston I read
and heard considerable regarding
potato bugs, but I was under the im
pression that these bugs did not ap
pear in this locality nor have I heard
of them anywhere in Oregon nutll
today when I discovered a bunch of
them In my potato patch.
I went and had a couple of neigh
bors look them over, they had fought
I pot.-uo bugs before in other states and
! both agreed that they were the real
i genuine eat as you go kind. I found
nne adult which I took for granted
I wus the mother of the bunch, and
i about ISO young ones of three dif
: ferent ages, also 6 or 8 clusters of
eggs. Of course I destroyed all that
I I could find and will watch them
closely till I feel sure that I have got
j them all. I also have sent out warn
i Ing to other formers on the project
to watch out for them and wish that
I you would do the same up there,
This little nest may be the only one
in this district, but it would be ter
rible to have tiiem get a start here
If it can be prevented. You know
how fast those new insects spread in
new localities.
I presume that arsenate of lead Is
the dope for them If they should
come too fast to kill by hand, but
please Inform us so that we may put
In a supply and have It ready for
distribution If necessary.
