It has been proved that the sugar beet is a success in both east ern and western Oregon, for it was grown in the Grande Ronde valley to supply a refinery at La Grande and in the Rogue valley to supply another at Grants Pass. Both refin eries were closed and the industry was abandoned, but it was continued long enough to prove that sugar beets grow well in Oregon soil. Oregon is now threatened with a sugar famine because employes of a refinery in California and stevedores at California ports have struck. This is a repetition of our troubles during the war, when submarines sank so many ships that no tonnage was available to bring sugar from Java, where there was abundance. There should be no danger of coffee with out sugar because of labor troubles in California when Oregon is capable of producing sugar, even if the cost would be somewhat higher. Most of the troubles growing from deficiency of necessary things dur ing the last few years have arisen from neglect to develop our own re sources. "That was true as to the Unitel States in relation to the out side world. It now proves true as to Oregon in relation to the other states. Oregon should make sure of sugar by growing it. Oregonian. PAY ROLLS. Thirteen hundred officers have re signed from the regular army since the armistice was signed, or one in every eight. The general staff is ex ercised about it and recently ordered an investigation. The report shows that high cost of living is the chief cause, and remarks that the war de partment is now paying a hodcarrier substantially as much as a second lieutenant, and a plasterer more than a first lieutenant who may have had seven years of university and hospi tal training. Both pay and allowance of the army officer are included, and he gives all his time against the wage earner's eight hours. Perhaps in an ideal adjustment of human values, a plasterer is worth more than a first lieutenant or than a brigadier general; but the plas terer's seven and a quarter dollars a day, he says, barely covers his cost of living, and a first lieutenant has been brought up and educated to a more expensive plane of living. The chief victims of this high cost of living are the salary earners, the savers, the unorganized inarticulate wage laborers. And they get the least consideration, because they are usually not in a position to raise a row. The government is no better employer, from the point of view of the people on its pay roll or from the point of view of society as a whole, than any private concern is. It pays its lieutenants now just what it paid them in 1908, and it can hardly pay them mqre, because it has to pay its plasterers seven and a quarter dollars a day or more if the plasterers ener getically demand it. Its pay roll ex hibits the same inequality as any others; in fact, a greater inequality than most pay rolls. Extending the field of government employment of labor promises nothing.

Facing America, Germany pleads poverty, depression of industries and general inability to meet reasonable obligations.

He required that every member of his force should perspire at least once every day. In this era of starched collars, there is a distinct aversion to per spiration. Labor-saving devices and the many machines that lift, shift, pull and haul have reduced man's opportunities to perspire. The pores are the mouths of the skin. Through them, the body ex pels waste matter. Chillren are taught in the schools that clogged pores prevent the blood from throw ing off harmful secretions. Athletics are becoming more and more important as the opportunities for natural exercise grow constantly fewer. A slogan of strength which we might well adopt as a people is "Per spire much, bathe often and be healthy." -t ROOSEVELT HIGHWAY. Progress of an encouraging nature is reported from Washington regard ing the $2,500,000 government ap propriation to match Oregon's issue for the Roosevelt Memorial High way. This bill is now in the hands of the house road committee and Rep resentative Hawley wires that he hopes for a favorable report on the measure within the coming week. The Roosevelt highway is one of the most important road building plans before congress and the en tire Pacific coast from Canada to the Mexican line is directly interest ed in its success. It is intended to be not only a public highway tra versing a route unsurpassed in scenic attractions and tapping some of the richest timber and agricultur al districts of the coast, but also a military road, forming a great factor of the coast defense system. Oregon took the lead in this pro ject by passing a measure appro priating $2,500,000 for the work, This was on condition that the gov ernment appropriate an equal amount and now both Washington and California are proceeding along similar lines. This 50-50 plan of road building was a new one and the people are catching the fever with great rapidity. They are awakening to the fact that highly improved highways are the salvation of the country, industrially and commer cially, and that first class roads along the coast must be had in order to perfect our system of national de fense.

HIGH COST OF HUNTING In our fathers' time, hunting was a cure, unadulterated sport, tree from the tinges of commercialism Fish and game were plentiful anu could be obtained at little cost from stream and field. And this helped mightily in keeping down the meat bill. But now enters the law of supply and demand. The game decreases, the cost of hunting game increases. In the old days ten cents worth of powder, five cents worth of shot, the family muzzle loader and a leisurely day out of doors meant meat plen ty of it. A generation ago, in almost every state, game was far more plen tiful than it is today. With the increase of population and the invention of modern sport ing arms, wild birds and beasts have become almost exterminated. Yet where certain game is protected for a period of time by a rigid law, that game shows a tendency to multiply in numbers. The prairie chickens and China pheasants in this county are good examples. But as we said before, the law of supply and demand is working and has affected the cost of hunting as in other lines of human pursuit. It costs money to go hunting now and the sportsman hardly would dare cal culate the price of the duck or quail he brings home. Guns and ammunition have gone up; usually there is a railroad fare j to be added in, or there is gas to be paid for, and a good bird dog it worth as much as a good horse. So the boy with the powder horn The latest product of a Michigan farm-implement factory seems likely to start an "own your own thresher" movement among farmers who have been dependent upon the conven ience of a community machine, says the September Popular Mechanics Magazine. The new thresher is 19 ft. long and 8 ft. 5 in. high, weighing with all equipment, 3,600 lbs., and handling 150 bu. of grain an hour. A tractor, 16 hp. or over, will run it. The threshing mechanism is unusual, consisting of four claws on arms re- rolved by a crankshaft at 22S r.p.m., stripping the grain as it passes be tween them. The elevator arm is adjustable to any height of wagon bed for direct loading. With this individual-sized implement, the farm er has only himself to blame if his crop is not threshed at the proper time. EFFECT ON PRODUCERS.

Hence, the whole controversy has come to be regarded as a jobbers' fight. - Oregon Voter. CAKl) OK THANKS.
