The transportation of "an army of half amillion oyer;, distance of 5Q0 milps was eonsideted'V remarkable feat during the war. Of course the soldiers were packed into tiny box cars until the) S. . 0. signs had to be hung on the door, and their meals were of a most sketchy, intermittent nature, yet the accomplishment was considered extraordinary. Last summer nearly a million peo ple visited the national parks of the far west. More than half of them came in their own cars, travelling up to 5000 miles during the season. The average distance traversed by the motor visitors to the parks, coming and returning, is probably 2000 miles. In other words, an army ot 400,000 persons was on the move transporting and feeding itself, yet few people were aware of this tre mendous shifting of the population. If there should be an invasion of the United States, ten million motor cars and experienced drivers would be available to give the American forces a mobility unknown, almost Incomprehensible in Europe. As such a contingency Is as remote as Hearst's election to the presi dency, the cars will continue to carry father, mother and the "kids into the wide, open spaces an dthe crowded camp grounds of the far west for years to come. Begin planning your trip now. December Sunset. KLAN ORGANIZER HOLDS MEETING AT HARDMAN Rev. Chaney, of Condon, held a meeting at Hardman last Wednes day evening, the purpose being to es tablish a Ku Klux Klan lodge at that place but according to reports reach ing Heppner the effort was not crowned with success. A fair sized crowd from Hardman and vicinity was present and about 30 men went out from Heppner to hear the lecture and learn what they could about the organisation. Sher iff McDuTfee wad also present to see that good order was preserred and from what he could gather it does not seem likely that a 1tlan will be established there. A number of the Heppner visitors were members of the Catholic church and naturalised Americans and their purpose in attending the meeting was to get some first hand information about the much talked of "invisible empire." Mr. Chaney, the speaker and or ganizer, is the man who went to Condon about a year ago as minister for the Congregational church and later Is credited with having organ ized the klan In that town. He Is now under bond to appear before the t EVA L J K i ft. -1 IF Why should our menus be In French When so. few,: of us understand mat language, .Is' what.

OF P., HOLD HIGH JINKS Members of Doric lodge, Knights of Pythias, were hosts last Tuesday evening at a special lodge meeting with Grand Chancellor Claud W. Barrick, of Tillamook, and Past Grand Chancellor M. F. Hardesty, of Seaside, the guests of honor. A number of visiting brothers from Ar lington and Lone Rock were also present. Splendid addresses were made by the visiting Grand Lodge officials with shorter remarks from many of the lay members and all through the meeting the spirit of fraternity pre vailed. There was plenty of fun dur ing the evening and the crowning ceremony was observed when the 50 knights present gathered in the ban quet room where they did ample jus tice to an old fashioned clam feed. grand jury on a charge of kidnaping Frank Smith last summer. The meeting Wednesday night was very orderly and harmonious, the Heppner visitors flay and a number of questions were1 put to the speaker which brought out considerable In formation. Contrary to general be lief, Mr. Chaney, in answer to a ques tion stated that nobody but Jfws are barred from joining the klan because of their religious belief that a Catholic may become a member if he is a native born American. Only Jews are barbed because of their re ligion, the speaker la reported to have said. Following the public meeting and after the Heppner delegation had left a crowd of Hardman people met in a store and talked the matter lover with Mr. Chaney. Sheriff Mc ; Duffee was also present and he says ' no one present signified his wllling ( ness to sign up as a member. 1 ft.

Dyment and adopted January 14, 1922, by the Oregon Stato Editorial association and the annual Oregon Newspaper conference, was declared by the committee on ethics of Sigma Delta Chi, national journalism fra ternity, to be the best code of its kind in America.

This Is the conclusion of Paul V. Maris, director of the Oregon Agricultural college extension service in a bulle tin just published. Conscious of the fact that destruc tive crltlcisii")a' wor titan -no "cri ticism at all In this particular in stance, Mr. Marls has compiled a long list of figures drawn from the production and selling record of the past years and has set forth the fol lowing remedies: Remedies Are Listed 1. Staples such as wheat, beef cattle, wool, and the like will con tinue to constitute the major scource of our agricultural income. But these staples should be confined to regions in which they are best de veloped and other less productive re gions turned to diversified crops and specialties. 2. Large ,"jd powerful co-operative agencies must be developed to care for our specialty crops such as prunes, loganberries and nuts. This is our most pressing agricul tural problem. 3. The dairy industry should be made the basis around which we develop our diversified farming sys tem. Poultry, swine, farm flocks of sheep, legumjes, seeds, breeding stocks, fruits and vegetables consti tute important secondary features of a diversified program. 4. To encourage the best prac tices of production and facilitate marketing we should concentrate production by communities. Wheat Varieties Reduced Amplifying these four general con clusions, Mr. Maris believes that wheat, the most important single crop in the state, should continue without reduction in the eastern Ore gon counties where it has thus far proved to yield satisfactory. In the remaining areas a 10 per cent re duction should be effected, thus re leasing the lands for forage crops for dairy cattle. In addition the va rieties of wheat should be cut from 60 to 12. Beer cattle should continue on the range lands where grazing and feed conditions are best suited to beef production. Carrying capacities of the ranges should be Increased by deferred and rotation grazing. Mr. Marls here stresses the point that alternating from cattle to sheep and sheep to cattle under influence of temporary price fluctuations is not Justified on such lands. Thus, sell ing cattle at bottom prices and buy ing sheep at top prices Is indefensi ble. Mr. Marls' also advises the study of cost accounting t put the in dustry on a sound financial baBls Fat cattle weighing 1000 to 1100 pounds in sufficient numbers for slaughter should be shipped to Port land and coast markets. He reaches the same concluslono r it ,as to wool and mohair, advising a IS STATEMENT GIVEN BY, KANSAS REPRESENTATIVE ' No Extra Cereal This Side of Mars, Declares Mr. Little of Wash ' ington, D.

BUDGET COMMISSION TO REPORT TODAS The Morrow county budget com mission will rendre their report to the county court today too 'late for this issue of the Herald. The commission has had a busy time while in session going over budgets and hearing recommenda tions from various delegations re garding the advisability of cutting off certain items of the budget la the Interest ot economy. Of these the county agent and the cfmnty roadmaster items were opposed by a delegation of citizens but a strong delegation of farmers was also pres ent to urge the retention of the coun ty agent whom, they declare, has more than earned his salary and other expenses by introducing better methods in wheat varieties, pure seed and smut treatment. The roadmaster Item was defended by the county court who pointed out the work done by that official in having road work done on a standard system, closer buying of supplies and in other ways, the claim was mad)e by the court and substantiated by the county clerk that if thq roadmaster is dispensed with another deputy In the clerk's office would be lmratlve which would cost at least $100 a month.. The roadm&nter's salary is $166 a month so that his outside work costs the county but $66 a month which the court held was cheap enough. general increasing of scientific breed ing, business management and a co operation with agricultural schools and agencies for the improved meth ods of carrying on the industry. Co operative agencies should also be de veloped. Logged-off areas should be turned over to mohair.
