The Northwestern Tuberculosis Conference recently held in Portland, was a most successful meeting both as to attend ance and in the increased enthusiasm of the delegates attend ing. There were two hundred thirty-six delegates present. Ninty-one of these were from outside of Portland and forty nine were from outside of Oregon. Delegates registered from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Cali fornia, New York and British Columbia. The whole program bore upon the increased responsibil ities laid upon the anti-tuberculosis workers because of war conditions. Positive figures prove that at least 2 of the men of the draft age have been found tuberculous. That means that there are at least 200,000 cases of tuberculosis amongst the men of the single age period 21 to 3l! Using this conservative es timate of the KNOWN cases the estimate of the number of cas'es for the whole civilian population is appalling. The program adopted by the Conference was one that com prehends a great need and that sets out with full confidence to meet that need. The anti-tuberculosis associations of the coun try will need three times the money that they had last year if they are going to accomplish in 1918 the work that will be set before them. The delegates pledged themselves to work tor this Amount. The Conference went on record as advocating the use of open window ventilation either continuously or at periodical intervals of five or ten minutes each between class periods, such flTieTI Will dow ventilation to be continued regardless of the arti- ". ficial ventilating systems installed in the schools in this section of the country. It was further resolved that the (Jonterence goes on record as placing the health of the school children above everything else in the school curriculum. 1- Bntte Record-Herald: What greater lawlessness is there than that of assaulting workingmen for no offense other than their endeavor to do an honest day's work! What greater tyr anny is there on earth today than the tyranny that would die tntp tn iripn whether or not thev shall work and where! What greater disloyalty can there be to our government than the beat intr of a man because a registration card is found in his pocket- bearing testimony to his readiness to fight his country's battles? HANDWRITING ON WALL. . Ill management, fear and greed combined are responsible for some of the prices being asked by retailers, especially food rlenlers. Some retailers are flagrant offenders. Under cover of war talk they have boosted retail prices far beyond what is be ing asked by other dealers in different parts ot tne state ana itv Our country has been forced by necessity to disregard the lessons of economics, and to fax prices on munitions, steei, coa and wheat. There is every prospect that this price-fixing wil ho evtended tn many other articles. Rnt nf what avail is it to the wage-earner to have whole sale prices fixed when retail prices are permitted to leap to the skies! Tt lnnks as though the average retailer could not be depend ed upon to scale his profits within reason, or to gauge his sell inrr nrie.es 'hv the regulation enforced upon wholesale prices. The strong hand of government may have to be invoked, upon the retailer. It will be a big job, and perhaps mucn injustice may be done to individual retailers, but the wage-earning con burner must be protected from ruinously high cost oi living i tinia (mrsTOmPTif. has nower enough to protect him.

MILLION-DOLLAR CORN CROP. Pm,r vlra nrn last, snriner "Farmer Smith." agriculturist with the O-W. R. & N. Company, was peddling about Yakima county little 5-pound sacks of seed corn and asking farmers to v.,nm,.,Mf viUh it Many laughed at him. and said "this l.Vjj. 1 iinu " " J O ' wasn't a onm hplt. " This year half a million bushels of corn matured in the Yi.l-ima vallev. and what is more, the average yield is conserva tively estimated at 56 bushels to the acre, while many farmers report that their crops will run 100 bushels or more to the acre. The average crop yield in the United States is but 25 bushels It is hardly probable that a single ton of this great crop will be shipped out ot the valley; it won't appear m tne granu 4nfl nf S20.000.000 or perhaps $25,000,000 which will-be re ceived for crops grown this season, though if it did the amount would be increased by about a million dollars. That million dollars, however, will be added to the income of Yakima farmers in profits on bogs, sheep and cattle; in the increased returns on hay sold which otherwise would be fed at should not our congressmen, upon whom rests the responsibility . - t ii 'ji ii for maintaining the troops there ana providing them witn wnat ;hey need? Some such course of instruction is especially desirable be cause congress so persistently refuses to accept the judgment of military experts. This invitation, by the way, is not only generous but heroic. Who will ever question the courage of a country that under takes to educate an American Congress! The Dalles Chronicle. t-t I, J TO SHORTEN THE WAR. The effect in shortening the war of a heavy oversubscrip tion to the Second Issue of Liberty Loan Bonds can hardly be overestimated. T However brave a front Germany may endeavor to present ii trip outside world and to her own people, the truth is that she --' - - x ft ' is facing fearful odds and is in dire straits. The embargo placed hv President Wilson on American shipments to neutrals struck Germany a body blow, and shipments to her from South Ameri can countries are going to be stopped or greatly curtailed through our influence and our control over coal supplies needed by their navies and industries. Germany's efforts for pence are dictated largely by fear of America and America's power, lne (Wmaii neonle are crvmg for peace, and the time has come or is w j- i tt x. shortly coming when the German Imperial Government must needs listen to the German people. They are being fed now on hopes of victory and stories ot dissentions among tne American neonle and a lack of support of our Government by our people. r-1 ! .... , No more convincing argument could be made to the people of Germany of the hopelessness of victory being obtained by continued fighting than a great oversubscription ot tne iiperiy Loan, demonstrating not only the tremendous power of Ameri- :a but the fact that the American people are wnoie-nearteaiy in favor of prosecuting the war with vigor and willing to fi nance our Government to the limit. F,verv mi r phase of a Liberty Loan Bond not only supplies he sinews of war but it shoots a fact into the German mind Hio fnet tliat the American feorle are behind the American Ar my and behind the American President, and that there is no end to this war except the achievement at tne ends that America is fighting for. Every purchaser of a Liberty Loan Bond does something to end the war, does something to shorten the war. When you shorten the war you shorten the terms of our snlrliors who serve in France: vou save many from death and suffering and privation. You save others from the dangerous voyage across submarined seas and the dangers of service in The success of the Liberty Loan will be a shortening of the war and a saving of American lives. We have given our sons to battle, we must lend our dollars to back them up, to make them powerful and effective, and as safe and as secure as Liking Wl Our unconquerable determination to fight to the end, to fight to the last man and the last dollar must oe mumiesieu ue tween October 1 and October 27, 1917- and bring to the German the hrmelessness nf their struggle in behalf of the Ger man Imperial Government against liberty, right, and justice and the American people. Heppner people and the public in general should have no fears of our water supply being bad. Read the report of the state health nfficer. There mav be some ills that our people are suffering at the present time but it does not seem fair to blame these troubles on the Heppner water. On the other hand, we are assured by the management of the Heppner Light & Water Co. that they stand ready at any and all times to do everything in their power to keep the water pure and healthful; it is to their interests to do so. The water now tastes a lot better since we know it is free from improper microbes. t-t Reports from Pendleton are to the effect that she lias oversubscribed her bond quota of $750,000 by about $80,000.
