Henrlksen of Cecil is primarily a c.itllemin He eats, sleeps and b. eati.es stixk, ar.d the casual ob server might believe that cattle, sheep and hogs were the whole thing down on the Willow creek ranch, but such is not the case. For we know that he grows some of the most ex cellent Early Crawford peaches that were ever picked from a tree. Mr. Henriksen presented us w ith a liber al sample ot this fine truit the past week, a whole big box of them and they certainly were delicious. Mr. Henriksen says he has a fair orchard on his ranch, but that he has neg lected it in a most shameful manner. He has about decided to let the boys run the cattle, while he turns his at tention to fruit growing. That In dustry already has a considerable start on his ranch. Cecil fruit has a quality that the Willamette Valley cannot touch, fruit growers from Salem themselves have said this. Monument Woman Buys New Heppner Residence In North Heppner Section A deal of the past week in Hepp ner real estate is reported by Roy V.

WHAT PHYSICIANS SAY OF EFFECTS OF RIDING IN PLANE Los Angeles, Sept. 8. From "the thrill" to "a marked sense of exhil eration, as though he had partaken ot good champagne" is the way path ologists and neurologists have class ified the sensations received by those who take their first ride in an air plane. Armed with stethoscope, sphygmo manometers and other instruments, Drs. Mason W .Pressly, E. 0. Good rich and Reginald F. Grant recently conducted a series of experiments on j the effect of airplaning on the hu i man nervous system, and have just made public their report. "Flying will provide the great boon sought for the treatment of all nerv- j ous cases such as neurasthenia, and . even paresis," said Dr. Grant. The tests were exhaustive and were made on several patients at a iocal aviation field. "We must consider that the aviator is accustomed to flying while this is the passenger's first flight," stated Dr. Grant in opening his report. "He had to go through the various im pressions, sensations, mental deduc tions and anxiety which a first flight accompanies. "His anxieties with regard to height and speed having been re lieved there supervenes a feeling of exhilaration 'the thrill.' Later he may again become a little apprehen sive of the descent and wonder as to whether he will experience water chnte or light sensations. Again, in this, he is greatly surprised. As the plane's nose is pointed down, auditory impressions are diminished, but there is no sensation of falling. Near the end of the glide the earth seems to be coming up rapidly to meet the airplane and the sensation of speed is again increased. As the wheels touch the ground, the vibra tions increase and then subside." And then, according to Dr. Grant, is where the alco-animation comes in. He says: "When the passenger steps out he is conscious of a marked sense of exhilaration, as though he had partaken of good champagne." The therapeutic affect of airplan ing, Dr. Grant summarizes as fol lows: "Flying increased the total volume ot blood, increased metabolism the process of converting food into tissue increased lung ventilation, in creased blood pressure and arterial tone, increased the expansibility of the heart and increased hemoglobin, the vital element of the blood which absorbs anl carries oxygen." fr nkus'iv by the your.g and not -so-young. It was terse and pungent. A etatei to P "If you put ice in hot soup it will cool it." B replied "Tnh!" and looked blank. A re peated "If you put Ice in hot soup it will cool it." B still diln't get it. Solid ivory!" exclaimed A in dis gust, and gave It up. The fact that ioe would cool hot soup failed to penetrate through the indurate mass that constituted B's allegel brain, train, i And just now there seem to be a good many millions of city folk in , the B class, well-meaning and ap parently intelligent men and women of mature years, who proclaim that ; it costs no more to raise food today than it did in their far-off happy i hildhood. A great Eastern merchant lectur ed his Bible class a few Sundays ago 'that it costs no more to grow fruit I and vegetables than it did when he was a boy. Sa;d this great merchant: "When ! I was young, cantaloupes, for in i stance, sold for twenty-five cents a basket. Now they cost $1.75 per ; basket. Why? Because it costs more to produce them? Certainly not! Because the price is inflated artificially." We know a good many vegetable and fruit growers who will read this statement and marvel. Some of them may get tearing mad and cuss a bit. They would be astounded to hear such stuff even from the lips of Rip Van Winkle, rousing himself after twenty years of peaceful slum ber. It costs no more to grow truit and vegetables than it did fifty or sixty years ago. Wow, Fifty or sixty years ago good truck hnd adjacent to the big cities of the Eastern States sold for twenty-five dollars an acre. Such land today from $500 to 800 an acre. By what strange process ot reasoning does the great merchant estimate that it costs no more to grow things on $500-an-acre land than it did on twenty-Sve-dollar-an-acre land? Manure costs ten times what it did fifty or sixty years ago; costs from two to three times what it cost three years ago. The cost ot com mercial fertilizer has also scaled sky high. Fertilizer costs for the truck er run more than fifty dollars an acre higher than grandad had to pay. But, Mr. Grower, you Bhould not charge for these trifling extras. Hold the price down to where grandad did and pocket your loss. You will thereby win the eter nal gratitude of the city consumer who now suspects you are profiteer ing. And If your interest charge on your farm investment is twenty-five dollars an acre whereas in grandad's case it was one dollar and fifty cents an acre,, by all meins do not charge j up the additional 123.50 to nr. uity Man. Be a philanthropist and hand it over to him in a nice little bundle tied with red ribbon. He will then be able to pay fifteen dollars for a pair of shoes as against two dollars and fifty cents a pair paid by his grandad. The shoe manufacturer needs the money, whereas the fruit and vegetable grower does not. We ! read of a shoe manufacturer whose profits last year topped ten million . dollars. The "plutocratic" truck grower skinned through with a ! year's profit of $1200 to $200,! wherefore it is easy to say that the trucker is a sinful wretch and should be curbed in his profiteering. If you must pay your hired men from three to five times as much as grandad did such a wee item should not be figured in the cost of produc tion. Take the hint from the great metropolitan merchants and cut back your prices to grandad's scale. Possibly said merchants might sug gest that you charge off Increased cost of labor to entertainment or "sweet diversions of the country." Of course, they do not do that. They add on the Increased labor charge and then some to each article of merchandise they sell. There was a time when grandad could buy a handkerchief approaching the size of a bed sheet for a dime. Now you pay fifty cents for a handkerchief that is shrinking to the dimensions of a postage stamp. Blame the high cost of living on the farmer because he can't talk back, seems to be the order of the day for hich ssr.d Ion in the cities. City fo'.ks refuse to accent facts con cerning the increased cost of pro duction save as they upp'.y to manu facture ar.d sale in the cities. Some how the truth will cot seep through the urban skuil cap. Is it because of the density of substance under neath or because the grower of food has not found the right kind of auger to bore with? It may be that there is only one thickness of solid ivory to bore through and that underneath there Is gray matter capable of re ceiving an intelligent impression. But let's apply the pressure with all 'the weight that we can bear down. Let's shout and holler the facts until ' we're heard and then keep on shout jing the facts until they are common jly accvptedon their merits. If we do not the solid ivory we are up against will keep on indurating until it is hopelessly Impenetrable.

GONTY, Shoe Store I Lumber for Permanent Improvements Every dollar you put into good lumber is well invested. Good buildings not only conserve crops, livestock and machinery, but they add to the equipment and value of the farm. Whether you want lumber for repairs or building, we offer you the best investment. In our long experience we have learned to buy the best lumber at the right prices. If you contemplate building that barn, machine shed, or best of all, a home, come in and let us help you in the planning. The advice we are able to give you may save you a good many dollars in the cost of those buildings. Remember, Winter is coming and then it will be too late to do any - improvement work until Spring, and what you will loose this winter from improper housing will go a long way toward paying for good buildings.
