A young couple whose names we were unable to learn, passed through Heppner today on a hike from Ander son, Indiana, to San Francisco. They are making the trip on a wager and are to walk the entire distance, en quiring their way as they go along, carrying neither chart nor compass. They did not stop here only long enough to get the direction to Fossil and passed on out of town eating a lunch of cheese and crackers. They have ju3t so long a time in which to reach their destination, and if they run short of funds they are obliged to stop and work. They are 18 days ahead of their schedule at this point. FOR TRADE.

THE MOST PROFTABLE BUSINESS This seems to be the day and age of regulation of all branches of in dustry from the peanut stand to the transcontinental railroad. Private capital and enterprise is being driven further and further back into its hole. The man with money is afraid to Invest it in an industry for fear of the different brands of state and gov ernment regulations which cause the most optimistic to hesitate. The most profitable business today is promoting some new Btate or gov ernment commission and getting yourself appointed on it at a much larger salary than you could earn in any other way. The beauty of promoting and ob taining a high salaried position on one of these commissions is that you can be totally ignorant of the work ings of the business you may be ap pointed to regulate. Any money you need to experi ment with may be taken from the tax-payer and if you run short of your estimate just ask the legislature for an increased appropriation, for the bills must be paid, and the tax payer can always furnish the money. Another beauty of promoting a commission is that it employs no la borers and you do not have to wor ry about a big payroll, high taxes, ac cident insurance and a few dozen oth er burdens now imposed upon the employer of labor. Although you may have been a failure in every line of business you have ever undertaken, you will find that as a commissioner, sitting in your state government office, with everything paid for by some one else, your mind will broaden and you will feel fully able to assume control of the largest industries and make the rates and regulate without question the largest railroad systems of the country. The beauty of It all is, if you make a mistake the other fellow will have to pay the bill and it will in no way effect you. La: t but not I ast you have become a member'of the official aristocracy of the country and will undoubtedly hold a political job the rest of your life. FE PORTS BUILDERS OF COMMERCE CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM PREFERENCE IN APPRO PRIATIONS. By Peter Radford. This nation is now entering upon an era of marine development The wreckage of European commerce baa drifted to our shores and the world war is making unprecedented de mands for the products of farm and factory. In transportation facilitlei on land we lead the world but our port facilities are inadequate, and our flag is seldom seen in foreign ports. If our government would only divert tbe energy we have displayed in conquer ing the railroads to mastering the commerce of tbe sea, a foreign bot tom would be unknown on the ocean's highways. This article will be confined to discussion of our ports for the pro ducts of the farm must pass over our wharfs before reaching the water. We have in this nation 51 ports, of which 41 are on the Atlantic and 10 are on tbe Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second Congress appropriated over $51,000,- 000 for improving our Rivera and Harbors and private enterprise levies a toll of approximately $50,000,000 annually in wharfage and charges for which no tangible service Is rendered. The latter item should be lifted oil the backs of the farmer of this mv tlon and this can be done by Congress directing its appropriations to ports that are free where vessels can tie up to a wharf and discharge her cargo free of any fee or charge. A free port is progress. It takes out tbe unnecessary link in the chain of transactions in commerce which has for. centuries laid a heavy band upon commerce. No movement is so heavily laden with results or will more widely and equally distribute its benefits as that of a free port and none can be more easily and ef fectively secured. HE VITAL PROBLEM Of CUE By Peter Radford. There is no escaping the market problem and the highest development of agriculture will not be attained until it is solved, for a market is as necessary for the producer as land on which to grow his crop. Governmental and educational insti tutions have spent $180,000,000 in the United States during the past ten years for improving soil production end improving seeds and plants, but very little attention and less money has been given to the marketing side of agriculture. The problem is a monumental one and one which will never be solved until it gets within the grasp of a gigantic organization where master minds can concentrate the combined experience and wisdom of the age upon it. It is a problem which the farmers, merchants, bankers, editors' and statesmen must unite in solving. The Farmers' Union stands for all there is in farming from the most scientific methods of seed selection to the most systematic and profitable plans of marketing, but does not be lieve in promoting one to the neglect of the other. We consider the work of farm demonstrators valuable and we ask that governmental and com mercial agencies seeking to help ub, continue to give ua their assistance and advice, but we believe that their influence should be extended to the marketing side of our farm problems also. We cannot hope to develop manu facturing by over-production of the factory; we cannot build up mercan tile enterprises by the merchants load ing tbeir shelves with surplus goods and no more can we develop agricul ture by glutting the market with a surplus of products. DARIUS The neigh of a horse made Darius King of Persia, the six contending powers for the thone agreeing among themselves that the one whose horse should neigh first should possess the kingdom. This ancient method of settling disputes among politicians could be revived with profit today. If our partisan factions and petty pol iticians, could only settle their dis putes by the neigh of a horse, the bark of a dog or the bray of a donkey, it would be a great blessing and would give our citizens a better opportunity to pursue the vocations of Industry free from political strife. Let those who pick political plums by raising rows and who flash swords dripping in the blood of Industry un derstand that they cannot turn the public forum into a political arena and by a clash of personal aspirations still the hammer and stop the piow and that their quarrels must be settled la the back alleys ot civilization. 20 Percent Off ON MEN'S CLOTHING In order to clear our counters for new stock we are throwing every suit of men's clothing in the house on the bargain counter at a reduction of 20 per cent.
