AUSTRALIA ASD TASMANIA
GREATEST WOOL PRO
DUCERS. Australia and Tasmania are the
greatest wool producing countries m
the world, with an annual production
of 463,750,000 pounds. Russia is
second with 320,000,000 pounds, the
United States third with 26S,000,000
pounds, and Argentina fourth with
265,000,000. Of this entire and im
mense production as it is, there are
only four countries which produce
more wool than is required for home
uses. Hence these four countries at
once become the world's greatest ex
porters. They are Australia, New
Zealand, South Africa and South
America. Inasmuch as this country
does not produce enough wool for
her own needs by 350,000,000 lbs.,
the countries before mentioned are
the ones to which this country must
look for the difference until such a
time as increased production at home
is able to strike a balance.
"Contrary to the belief of many,
just as good wool for the manufac
ture of woolen goods is raised right
here in Morrow county as is raised
in Australia and South American
countries," said C. A. Shepard, vet
eran wool buyer and wool grader who
was in charge of the Columbia Basin
Wool Warehouse exhibit at the re
cent county fair. "We would like to
teach the woolgrowers the value of
grading their clips. One clip e.
wool may contain as high as 27 dif
ferent grades, and from the manu
facturers' standpoint every grade
commands a different price. But
when the wool man sells his ungrad
ed clip, he receives but one price and
that is the lowest which the worst
part of the wool would bring." Mr.
Shepard is of the opinion that the
woolgrower should just as well get
what the wool is worth as some other
fellow who receives the benefit of
graded prices.
The wool exhibit of the Columbia
Basin Wool Warehouse, of which T.
J. Mahoney is manager, was a most
interesting and instructive one for
the sheepmen more especially, but
all Morrow county people found
something of interest in the display
of the various grades of wool. Mr.
Shepard gave talks to the wool men
each day. The exhibit has been left
in Heppner permanently and will be
in charge of W. P. Mahoney, cashier
of the First National Bank.
IF THE PRESIDENT WOULD ON
LY "BE NATURAL."
"Dignity takes so much of the
juice out of life," complains Tracy
H. Lewis, in the New York Morning
Telegraph. "How vastly more re
freshing it would be if the President
could treat the Senators like 'home
folk,' as he calls us Americans, and
unfold to them his real thoughts and
views which better judgment sup
presses." For instance, when he
went before those august members
of the Upper House to speak a few
words on the Peace Treaty and the
League of Nations, "he might have
looked them over with frank con
tempt," and given them a fatherly,
perfectly sincere, and reasonable
little talk somewhat along this line:
May I not tell you that you boys
hand me a big laugh? I've missed
you poor simps more than anything
else since I've been away on my out
ing. I don't suppose there is more
than a dozen of you ever had the
gumption or the price to take a jaunt
across the Atlantic and see how the
real swells live. But more of that
some other time. At present I am
going to present a few facts in words
of one sylable hoping that it will per
colate into the comprehension of
some of you human disappointments.
As to the Peace Treaty and the
League of Nations. I gave you the
dope on that before I left, but I'll
just repeat it again for the benefit
of those Senators over on the left
of the house whose memory isn't
good for more than a week what
might be called a "weak memory."
Thanks, boys. I though some of you
would appreciate that one. Made it
up coming over on the boat. I've
got a flock of 'em I may spring on
you later.
To begin with, I wish to impress it
upon you dullards that you haven't
got much choice in this matter of
whether you will or won't ratify the
Peace Treaty and my League of Na
tionsget that "my"? It's all mixed
up like a mess of spaghetti hot
stuff that's going to burn you if you
get to monkeying with it. Say, old
man Fall, it won't hurt you to get
some of this and cut out that yawn
in?. Kinda funny how some of you
fellows never seem to have had any
rest until it happens to be your turn
to talk. Well, as I was saying when
Fall interrupted me, the people are
with me on this League stuff. None
of them know much about it and I
mast confess there were to many'
things hi Paris I hadn't seen before
that I'll have to brush ud on it a bit
mvself ; but they all get the general
idea. That "no more wars" slogan
ws another good one I put across.
Better than the "too proud to fight"
or "he kept us out of war," tho they
were good, too, at the time. I won't
give much for the political future of
you lads if you're boneheaded
er.ough to go through with that round
robin idea. Say, that was immense!
I almost believe that at times you
half-wits have a sense of humor, too,
or you would never have come across
with that one.
Sit lown, Lodge, or 111 put you
down. I'm a different proposition
from that pacifist they pried you
loose from during the war. If I ever
get my Mary-Ann started toward your
chest it 11 take me half a day to pull
my fist out, and I've got too much to
do to waste my time in that fashion.
Say, boys, the old White House
looked pretty good to me when I got
back. You know it seems kind of a
pity to me that I couldn't have rented
it out to some one while I was gone.
I haven't been getting much use out
of it, and I need the money. The
people of this country seem to for
et that while the President's salary
has remained the same, psycholog
ical prices have gone up. That's a
little matter I'll take up with you
later.
What's the idea of the grin, Bor
ah? The salary of the President
won't ever be a personal concern of
yours. The only way you'll ever get
into the White House will be thru a
window. That goes for you, too,
Johnson. You "Native Sons" always
have given me a big pain. You act
as if nothing good could come out of
any place accept California. How
about New Jersey? Don't take what
I say personally, Phelan there's
exceptions to every rule but at that
I think you would be better off if you
moved.
Well, if there isn't LaFollette, and
I don't believe he's been to a barber
all the while I've been gone. I've
been thinking of recommending an
appropriation to trim you and your
hair, but I'll take that up later. That
gum-chewing stunt of yours while I
was asking Congress to declare war
sure got on my nerves. I'm going to
get you for that yet.
While I'm here I just want to men
tion the fact that there are several of
you Democrats that seem to have
been acting mighty funny to me
while I've been gone. I'm not going
to mention any names, but Reed's
one of them, and he might just as
well know that I know it. We have
n't had government operation of the
cable system for nothing, and I've
been keeping pretty close track of
you lads while I was "over there. '
How about it, Reed? I guess you'd
like the League a little bettter if you
had thought of it first, hey?
Time for lunch and a little two and
three-quarters. I thtnk yt get pre
main idea of the League and Treaty
new and I'll leave you to finish that
little matter up this afternoon. You
might just as well get it over with
to-day as let LaFollette and seme of
those other "wilfuls" get started and
take three or four weeks about it.
Adios. See you later. Literary di
gest. THRIFT.
Since every man has taken oppor
tunity to place the blame for the
present prices of every commodity
in common use, there have been few
to come forward with any share of
blame for the individual. The lion's
share, of course, rests with the man
ufacturers, distributors and produc
ers, but the individual, also, is part
ly to blame.
The lesson taught Americans in
the recent war, that of thrift, had
temporary life. During the emergen
cy period everyone, from the mighty
to the meek, saved and spard. Thrift
was practiced as diligently as in the
cockney quarter of London. The
old eagle on the dollar truly did
scream in many American homes
where he was pinched to the limit.
With the end of the war, all that
surplus extravagance stored up in
the average American seemed to be
turned loose. Americans bought
freely , of everything they had been
accustomed to before the war and
more for good measure. Hash was
served less frequently on the Ameri
can table and stocks of food and
clothing were taxed heavily by de
mands of the public.
Overnight the public forgot the
lesson of thrift and their reaction on
the stocks of available goods natur
ally forced prices upward. With
money to spend and a keen demand
for goods, they soon saw that deal
ers were quick to follow up the ad
vantage and demand prices which
have now become beyond reason.
Were the people to remember what
hey were taught by their government
regarding saving and thrift, they
could alleviate from their side some
of the troubles which now engulf the
entire populace. Pendleton East

Big Noise Small Blaze.
The Heppner populace was aroused
from the early morning beauty sleep
last Monday by loud and continued
screeches from the Are siren. The
fire company responded promptly
and it was then found that the fire
had been extinguished almost before
the alarm was turned in. The fire
was on the roof of one of the Hepp
ner Light Water Company's build
ings and only slight damage is report
ed. And the fire siren, it would have
been blowing yet had it not been that
some one cut the wires.
Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Patterson left
on Tuesday for Pendleton where they
will attend the Round-Up.
