Buy a Barrel of Flous
The "Buy a Barrel of Flour" move
ment started by the farmers of the
middle west, and encouraged here, Is
expected to benefit not the millers
but the growers themselves, says the
East Oregonian. A few statistics
were given today and add interest to
the movement.
A barrel of flour will use four and
a half bushels of wheat, or nearly two
sacks.
Eight barrels of flour will use the
crop from ie average acre of grain
in this country.
A barrel of flour is four sacks, or
198 pounds.
A barrel of flour retails for approx
imately 111.
At present wheat prices a barrel of
flour would mean about $6.75 worth
of wheat.
If every family in Umatilla county
buys a barrel of flour the above fig
ures should be multiplied by 5000 or
6000.

While it must be acknowledged that
L. VanMarter, who holds the respon
sible position of window trimmer at
a down-town garage, has the artistic
temperament, ito must also be stated,
in sorrow, that he sometimes plays
exceedingly mean tricks on innocent
and unsuspecting persons. Van trim
med his window for the Christmas
holidays the other day in a most ar
tistic manner, showing an open fire
place with chimney of ample propor
tions to admit the rotund form, ot
good old Santa Claus, who occupies
a conspicious place in the setting.
An old-fashioned mantle is in place
over the fire place and on the mantle
stands a full-sized quart bottle, neat
ly wrapped and enticingly labeled,
on which Santa's twinkling eye is
fixed with an expression of anticipa
tion of what he will treat himself to
when he gets the stockings filled.
To show the baseness of the artis
tic nature, however, Van admits that
if Santa tries to get any comrorc out
of that bottle he vail get mightily
fooled, because the bottle's empty.
"Think I'd risk a full one in tnat
window with all those Elks coming
to town? Not on your life!" quoth
Van.
Telephone Credit
The telephone company will be compelled to borrow large amounts of money in
the next few years, not only to extend its service to new subscribers, but to take care
of the constantly increasing use of the service by present subscribers.
A lender in business will demand of a borrower ample security and will insist
that its value be maintained without deterioration. He must be shown that this se
curity has an assured earning power. He must be satisfied that his investment is
safe: that it can be disposed of at any time without loss and that it will bring him
a continuous return.
At the present time this company's operations in Oregon are conducted at a de
ficit. Its expenses are greater than its revenues. No return is being received by its
stockholders from their property in Oregon. Not even the interest on ita bonds pro
perly chargeable to its Oregon properties is being paid from Oregon receipts.
With new capital scarce and commanding high rates of return, a business show
ing operating results such as these will find it difficult, if not impossible, to secure
money for its necessities.
We assume that the people of Oregon wish to treat the utilities doing business
in this state justly and fairly, and in this belief we have asked the Public Service
Commission to approve a schedule of rates increasing our revenues. The amount
asked for is relatively small to the individual rate payer, but the' aggregate will place
us in a position where we can obtain the outside capital necessary in our operations..
Under present conditions an adequate telephone service efficient and suffi
cient is dependent upon higher rates.
