Show Them We're Awake
There is a very practical side on
establishing advertising as a part
of the operation of government. 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.

THIRTY denominations cooperating in the Inter
