A TKHRIR1.E BLOW.
Whatever else the war may bring
the result of the Gallipoli peninsula
campaign is a blow to British pres
tige worse than she has received
since the recall of the expedition that
was sent to the relief of Gordon. It
is worse because the news of it will
be sounded through every Mohamme
dan tribe all over northern Africa
and southern Asia clear to beyond
India.
The difficulties which were encoun
tered will not be rehearsed, but simp
ly the fact that England was beaten
by a Mohammedan army, and as
those swarthy hosts repeat it, they
will add "Allah is great and Mo
hammed was his prophet," and the
old dream will be revived of some
time conquerring the world.
Doubtless the forces were with
drawn to strengthen the defense
where the hostile armies are draw
ing together on the border of Greece
and Bulgaria, but neverthless, it is
a serious blow to British prestige just
where she can least afford to have
it come. That prestige has upheld
her against mighty odds in India
and Egypt for lo. these many years
It was to maintain it that Lord Rob
erts so insistently urged his country
men to prepare for the greater strug
gle that was to come, through all
the years from the close of the Boer
war up to the breaking out of the
present war.
The old reliance on the fleet led
England to reject his advice, but the
fleet is no longer infallible. This war
has taken on phases never dreamed
of before, and taken on new instru
ments of destruction which, when a
little farther advanced, promise to
make future wars impossible because
their destructiveness will exceed the
indurance of poor human nature.

WHAT STATES HAVE DONE FOR
EAHMEHS.
Arizona has permitted the proceeds
of state lands to be invested in farm
mortgages.
California adopted a resolution to
amend the constitution so as to per
mit the state to use public funds and
credit for farmers.
Colorado has permitted funds de
rived from certain public lands to
be invested in farm mortgages.
Florida has exempted all farm and
grove products from the license tax
when offered for sale by growers.
Indiana has given to rural loan and
savings associations the privilege of
requiring the auditor of state to serve
as trustee of the farm mortgages se
curing their bonds.
Georgia adopted a resolution to
amend the constitution so as to ex
empt from taxation all farm products
including baled cotton, in the hands
of the producer. This was approved
at the polls and a law has been passed
accordingly.
Kansas now permits the holder of
a farm mortgage, deposited with the
state treasurer, to issue bonds certi
fied by that official to the effect that
the security is ample and its title per
fect. Louisiana adopted a constitutional
amendment authorizing exemption
from taxation of lands improved for
homesteads by or for immigrants.
Louisiana also has enabled the own
er of rural real estate to issue bonds
up to 60 per cent of the value as ap
praised by a commission of three
bank cashiers of the parish, two of
whom shall be appointed by the dis
trict court. The mortgages must be
made in the name ot the sheriff as
trustee. The bonds may be register
ed with the county clerk and made
payable to bearer, without imposing
any personal liability on the maker
for their payment.
Mississippi memorialized congress
to pass one of the bills pending for
rural credits that provides for the
creation of public land credit banks
with power to issue bonds guaranteed
by the United States government for
raising money for farm mortgaging
Missouri passed a special act cre
ating a public land credit bank to be
nanaged by the governor and other

of farm loans with the state treasur
er as commissioner and the county
treasurer as a local representative to
issue bonds and make tax-exempted
loans on farm lands.
New York has created a highly
privileged tax-exempted land-credit
bank with power to issue bonds upon
the security of farm mortgages trus
teed with the state comptroller.
North Dakota adopted a resolution
to amend the constitution so as to
permit the use of funds and credit of
the state in forming agricultural
credit asosciations.
South Dakota adopted a resolu
tion to amend the constitution so as
to permit the state or contiguous
counties to create and maintain rural
credit systems for making farm loans.
Utah passed a law on co-operative
land-credit banks with power to issue

mortgages trusteed with the state
treasurer.
Wisconsin requires the assessor of
incomes to certify the value of farm
mortgages taken by land-mortgage
associations, and the state treasurer
to serve as trustee of the securities
for the bonds issued by such asso
ciations. In the Philippine Islands the gov
ernment agricultural bank has been
created by a special act.
In Porto Rico the semi-public insu
lar bank has been created by a spec
ial act for extending credit on farm
land and to agricultural enterprises.
What has Oregon done?
OFFICERS $20,000 APIECE.
A newspaperman who has been
investigating our military and naval
establishments, .reports that it costs
$12,000 to train an officer at Annap
olis, and $20,000 to train one at West
Point, although Harvard and some
other big colleges educate a student
for about $2500.
In this case, as in many others, pri
vate enterprise accomplished a given
purpose far more effectively than the
government. Both West Point nad
Annapolis are excellent schools, per
haps as good as any of their kind in
the world. But there is little doubt
of the needless extravagance in their
equipment and administration. In no
other country is it so expensive to
train officers for the army and navy.
Doubtless the expense could be re
duced somewhat under present con
ditions. It is likely, however, that
the most effective saving can be ac
complished by using these education
al plants to greater capacity. The
buildings, grounds, mechanical equip
ment, instructing corps are already
there; the overhead charges are fair
ly stationary. If the number of
students could be doubled, the add
ed expense would be comparatively
little, and the cost per graduate
would be nearly cut in two. There
is sure to be a demand for improve
ment in this direction. Tacoma Led

Weather forecasts are to the effect

All together now for the Columbia
highway. Of course the highway is
going on through Eastern Oregon.
Whether it will come through the
center of Morrow county, through the
main towns and over the very best
land we have, depends largely upon
you and 1. Lets go to the Commercial
Club meeting this evening resolving
that we will do all in our power to
bring the Columbia Highway from
The Dalles to Pendleton by the way
of lone, Lexington and Heppner.
Nevermore.
The landlady of a well-known
boarding-house always made a point
of asking departing guests to write
something In her visitors book. She
was ery proud of it of some of the
people whose names were in the vol
ume, and the nice things they said.
"But there's one thing I can't un
derstand," the lady confided to a
friend, "and that Is what an Amer
ican gentleman put in the book after
stopping here. People always smile
when they read it."
"What was it?" quirled the other.

One year ago when we reduced the price on ROYAL
CLUB COFFEE from 40c to 35c, we told you it was only
temporary that we were sharing with you the saving to
us in an exceedingly low, "war time," coffee market
that as soon as the market went up we would have to re
store the original 40 cent price.
We were the only coffee roasters on the coast to take
the public into our confidence and share our saving with
them. The public has saved thousands of dollars as a
result.
Now we must raise the price of our ROYAL CLUB
brand. The high grade Central American and Sumatra
Coffees from which it is blended have gone up are still
going up. We have every reason to believe they will
stay "up."
UNTIL JANUARY 1ST YOU CAN BUY ROYAL
CLUB COFFEE AT THE REDUCED PRICE.
If you are one of the thousands who have found satis
faction in this delightful coffee, you should lay in a sup
ply NOW at the reduced price.
If you have never tried it, you should treat yourself
and the family while the price is down.
Say ROYAL CLUB to your grocer today.
