THK l AK-MKIt'S POSITION
"The farmer is about in the .
tion of a six-foot man who ha-, V'-i.
standing in five feet of wat-r ,:
now sees it beginning to rain."
In this way an eastern commciiu
tor expresses himself in reviewing t!.
memorable events of the last two
years. When deflation overtook i.V
country in 1920, agriculture fell ;nst
and hardest and farthest. It seemed
to recover a little last spring as
prices of cotton, hogs and v.-ool im
proved, but now the disparity is
again so wide between prices of farm
products and industrial products that
anxiety is becoming evident in places
where optimism is a political neces
sity. It is not alone that farm product,
stay low, but that manufactured
goods have again started upwan'
City industry, during the past fev.
months, has increased wages and
prices so far out of line with fan:,
products that the city inhabitant is
reaping a harvest which was sowed
by the farmer.
This is the third successive year
of big crops, but for his hard work
the farmer's world is as much out
of joint as it has been during th
worst period in the slump of prices
of farm products. His purchasin'
; power has lately dropped to just
! about the lowest point since the war
: The quantity of farm products that
would buy $100 worth of other
; things in 1913 will now buy only $64
I worth. To put the same thing ii
I other words the farmers are now giv
the home of Mr. and Mis. Ocar
Lundell at Rhea Siding for the week
end.
T. H. Lowe, rock inspector of the
highway, and his assistant, A. E
Wheeler, are spending a few days"
vacation in Portland before starting
worli on. the Gilliam Co. road.
Congratulations are extended Mr:
and Mrs. Geo. Krebs of The Last
Camp on the arrival of twin boys
weighing seven pounds each, born at
the maternity home of Mrs. G. C
Aikens at Heppner, December 6.
Entered at the Heppner, Oregon, Puntoffice as second-class Matter
ing more than Halt as mucn again as
in 1913 to get the same r.mount of
other things.

Here's the Secret
Of that wonderful "round" tone
On hearing The Brunswick for the first
time every music lover exclaims at its
wonderful full, round, life-like tones.
Back of the grill is the secret an
oval horn built entirely of wood on
the violin principle. Sound waves are
amplified and sent out to the listener
in correct acoustical "circles." No
metal touches them. That's the secretl
