Ad vertising means an appropriation, and an appropriation means that our Senators and Congressmen must be convinced that the people want the government to talk to them. It these oScials are allowed to believe ti'.e people are apathetic they will ignore the subject, but if they are iiiade to feel the people are in earn est they will soon begin to take ac tion. rrrm the Federal Department of Labor and the Health Departments of the various cities comes statistics of the very great loss of life in child birth. .More women of child-bearing age die in the United States from causes incident to child-bearing than from any other cause e.cept tuber culosis, and almost half the number of infant deaths are preventable. Quite apart from its human aspect this involves a serious economic loss to the nation, and it is every man's duty and ever)' woman's dutuy to help put an end to such a condition of affairs. t We are spending thousands of dollars even- year for our Health Department, which holds in its ar chives in Washington the results of research that mean life or death to thousands of mothers and children. What a blessinng it would be, partic ularly in the country where we lack the great hospital facilities of the great cities and the presence of the world's reat specialists, if the gov ernment would talk to and advise the mothers and the prospective mo thers of the nation. The govern ment has special information of vital moment. Why not advertise and let the prospective mothers know where this information may be obtained? Ninety-nine women out of a hundred do not even know such information is at their disposal. There is only one answer to this government ad vertising. Let the citizens of this community spare a little time to stir up our Senators and Congressmen along this line. Write to them. There are a thousand reasons why the government 'should give its in formation to the people. The publisher of this newspaper has written many such letters, but, of course, letters from a publisher may be improperly thought to be written with a selfish motive. If the people are to have the benefit of government information the people must help bring it about. The Potato Situation There is a potato strike on. The housewives and restaurants in the larj-e cities and to some degree in the smaller place, are protesting that the plebean spud is becoming too aristocratic, and that he must come down from his high state. The cheapest food of the past is the- highest priced food of the pre sent. Whoever supposed that the "Jrii Lemon" would occupy the place of the piece de resistance on the tables of the l?nd? Th; amusing part of the contro versy lies in the prevailing notion that the potato is an essential article of food. In fact there is very little nutriment in it, and what there is is tare!;. We are so much creatures of habit, however, that we think that it is a hardship to get through a meal without the vegetable. Bread, rice and numerous mem bers of the vegetable kingdom will do quite as well, and most of them better, in the economy of living. The people of this country do not yet know the value of rice, hominy and the various varieties of maccaroni. Is it not time that the lesson began to be learned? Probably there is a measure of profiteering in the spud market, but it is still the fact that there is a marked shortage in the supply. The speculator, the commission man, and the storage people are probably making money while the making is good, but who is not in this orgy of spending? Some day there will be wisdom enough in the nation to establish simple transportation systems, and an intimate relation between the producer and the consumer. Then there will never be an oversupply and ordinarily there will not be an under supply. Pendleton Tribune. Farmers and the Nation's Councils IV Buttertield. the clever and pep !v. president of Massachusetts Agri cultural College, has just published .i Nvk on rural community problems in the I'nited states which is attract ing attention on both sides of the w ater. One great difficulty in this coun try, savs Dr. Butterfield, is that the farmers are not, and rarely have been, prominent in the councils of the nation; consequently others have devised policies for them. Exactly! It is a world-wide diffi culty but particularly in America be cause of the very superior education and intelligence of our farming ele ment. The American farmers are the backbone of the nation yet their re-j presentatives in Congress and in j many Legislatures are lawyers, who constitute a very small item in the population and who act, when seat ed, from the convictions of lawyers, not from the convictions of farmers, or of patriots. We don't think it is going to last long. Already there is evidence of a strong get-together spirit among ag riculturists as evidenced by the farm bureaus, the grange and other or ganizations. Tens of thousands of the young men and young women of the farm are entering the nation's agricultural colleges and other schools of learn ing every year and acquiring the ed ucation, the discipline and the ability to lead. They are not going to be satisfied to take a back seat to law yers and mere politicians; soon they will be taking their places in the na tion's council. The sooner the bet ter not alone for the farming indus try but for the good of the nation it self and all classes of its people. Wages and Babies When wage-earning fathers earn under $450 a year they may expect to see their babies die in large num bers; if they earn $1250 and over they may expect to see them live. The fathers of 88 per cent of the babies studied by the U. S. Chil dren's Bureau earned less than $1, 250 a year; 27 per cent earned less than $550; a few earned under $450. In this last group the infant mortal ity rate is almost 170, an appalling j figure, and the rate ranges from this ! down to approximately 125 in the group earning less than $550 but ' not under $450. The infant mortal-1 ity rate in the "$1250 and over", group is approximately 59. As the income doubled the mortality rate was more than cut in two. Under present conditions the public protection of mothers and ba-1 bies is needed, for the loss of mother and infant life is nation-wide and needs nation-wide attention. The Sheppard-Towner maternity bill , would help the states bear the neces sary expenses for providing adequate medical and nursing care and proper instruction to mothers, and would leave the states free to carry on this work according to their various needs.

"Wear Denim" Move- Willard Service and Batteries Odd Fellows Will Observe ment Said To Have Now Handled by J. W. Fritsch1 101st Anniversary of Order Started in Alabama j Tho -wear di-iiim" movoment to lrms iKiwn the li Is; it t';st of woolen olutlmis. is said to have originated with ;i bunch of cotton growers down iu Al.ib.ui.a. The public fell for the "Movement" at oiue, believing that It would result in suits taking a big fall. It has already resulted in a strong demand for khaki, denim und overalls, which is just what the cot ton growers wanted. Thos. B. Kay, woolen cloth manufacturer of Salem and former state treasurer, told wool men in Portland this week that he had paid as high as 75 cents per pound for cotton long staple in bales. There is certain cloth manufactured in the Kay mills in which cotton is used. With the average price of wool at 6i cents per pound, who will say that cotton is cheaper than wool. Maybe alter all its the cotton going into the cloth and not the wool, that is making clothing expensive. 1 J. V. Fritsch, who recently moved from the rear of the Heppuer Garage to more commodious ijuarters in the Ashbaugh building at the corner of Main and Center streets, has taken the agency in this territory for the Willard Storage Battery and expects a large shipment of these batteries direct from the factory In a few days. In vletw of the fact that 87 per cent of the new cars put on the market today come equipped with Willard 1 batteries, a strong demand is present locally for Willard service. Mr. Fritsch will strive to meet the de mand. In regard to the Philadelphia j batteries, Mr. Fritsch says that the i two-year guarantee still holds good. Willow Lodge. I. O. O. F. will celebrate the 101st anniversary of the order on Wednesday, April 2Stli at 8 o'clock, p. m. A good program has been arranged for the occasion.
