G. Wells telling what he believes will be the great development of the coming century. In a note prefacing the article the editor of the, American de scribes Mr. Wells as "not an idle visionary but a man of vision which is a quite different thing." The editor bases his opinion on the fact that in his writings Mr. Wells has foreseen and foretold the irnention of several of the me chanical wonders of recent years. "Without vision the people perish." Our most wonderful inventions of recent years had their beginnings in vision arising out of physi cal and mechanical discoveries. To the writer it seems strange that Mr. Wells should give as his conviction the belief that in the physical field there will come no new things for quite a loong while; that our new discoveries are but the "blossoms of another spring whose harvest may be hundreds of years away. The turbine engine was de scribed nineteen centuries before it became of any utility, also the primary properties of frictional electricity. Mr. Wells then proceeds to forecast our future: As he sees it the greatest promise in the science of the present time centers about what is called psycho-analysis. All the world is passing through a phase of exceptional disinteg ration and reconstruction a state of affairs that will not last. An application of the science of mental relationship will change and modify things directly and profoundly and this change is the most immediately probable thing before our race today. In 1880 the "common fool," as Mr. Wells designates the man without vision, was quite certain that we should nev er for the, to him; simple but all sufficient reason that no one had ever done so and today the same type of individ ual is incredulous about social, political and educational developoment. It is possible, however, for those who have faith and vision to foretell a new release of human life to a secure and world-wide peace, to a sufficient and happy production, ample to satisfy all normal human needs, to a common life of activity and kindliness, to lively interests enterprise and hope. $ BOARDMAN t Business Douses and school closed Wednesday afternoon to pay hom age t othe late Woodrow Wilson.

Heppner beat Lexington by a score of 12 to 8 on Lexington's home floor last Saturday night. The score stood 4 to 2 In Lexington's favor in the first half.

I f ARM BVREAU RESOLITIOXS At the county convention of the Morrow County Farm Bureau held at Lexington last Saturday the fol lowing resolutions were adopted: We, the undersignjed icommittee on resolutions, beg to submit the follow ing: Be It Resolved, by the farmers of Morrow County, Oregon, in conven tion assembled, being three hundred farmers, in attendance, representing 900,000 bushels of wheat. First. That we favor the McNary Haugen Bill, believing that it will afford early "relief to the wheat grow: er, early and effective relief being necessary to save the wheat farmer from bankruptcy. Second. That we can see in the further extension of credits no relief to the wheat grower, the majority of whom are now laboring under as great a burden of interest payments as he can well afford to attempt to carry, his need being some remedy which will enable htm to obtain such price for his product as will give him a reasonable profit, this in turn en abling him to reduce his indebted ness and relieving him of the neces sity of ask tog for extension of credit Third. Since a protective tariff has been made the means of securing to other lines of Industry a profit which was really remunerative, we favor such a tariff upon wheat as will save to the American farmer the home" market, otherwise he should not be required to pay in what he purchases a tariff upon the things which he must have in hia line o! work, the farmers' position being simply that we ask for what the Im mortal Roosevelt styled "a square deal" so far as tariff legislation 1. concerned. Fourth." That a copy of these res olutions be sent to the President of the United States, to each of our rep resentatives and senators in con gress, and to each-of the local pa pers of the county.
