Cotton Mill Criminals There is some reason for part of our high prices, of course, but the most of it is caused by the criminal hoarders and the criminal profiteers. What has happened to so many of the' formerly high-minded business men in the big cities? Has greed entire ly consumed them! Right and left iwe hear of ware houses crammed to the top story rat ters with tens of millions of dollars worth of foodstuffs, goods hoarded and doled out a little at a time In order to keep prices at unconscion able height3. Paying the lowest pos sible prices to the producers of food products, they sell them at double and treble the cost. They are not content any more with good fat an nual profits; they want to make a for tune every year. Thus the hoarders. Today we hear of another type of profiteers In the same class. Cotton makes up most of the average man's clothing. His shirts, his stockings in summer, his underwear, much of his Iwife's and children's clothing and much of the textile goods used about the house. For many reasons, cotton is higher when it comes from the farm, but that increase Is nothing to what the cotton mill proprietor puts on to the price. Result: the Franklin Yarn Co. of Massachusetts hands out a TWO THOUSAND PER CENT DIVIDEND In one year, 20 shares for one. The Grant Yarn Co. of New England pays 300 per cent stock dividends and $900,000 cash dividend. The Inman Mills of South Carolina declares a 400 per cent stock dividend. This is blood money blood squeez ed out of the ordinary, common man and woman of this country. How long can it last? ' '' c' Bootleg whiskey in the east is dropping in price, according to press reports and is ndw selling at J 12 a quart How About A Woodlot? In Indiana the Hymera High School has one of its school rooms over what was once an old mine. The students have planted a grove of trees In ground since covered (with sink holes and there they study forestry and get a taste of botany, tUe Amer ican Forestry Association of Wash ington records, in asking what other high schools in the country can do. The spot is now one of beauty and it will not be long before it will be one of revenue. The town woodlot idea is spreading throughout the ountry, the American Forestry Association says, and w ell it may, for the old days of the back twoodiot will be mighty welcome to many a commun ity If we have to go back to "coalless Tuesdays." Is there not a spot that can be put to work producing trees In this vicinity? It will be a good in vestment. Planting time is drawing near, so let us hear from officials, school or town, as to what can b3 done. Back to normal now the yacht races are over and America still re tains the cay. Morrow county is stepping into line along with Sherman and neighbor ing counties in the production of Turkey Red wheat. A thorough study of wheat varieties has convinced ex perts that Turkey Red is the wheat for this country. It was Turkey Red wheat that put Kansas on the agrlcul- i tural map after It seemed that Kansas was a hopeless case insofar as profit able farming was concerned. Kan sas is now a leader.

Nothing adds to the enjoyment of an earthquake so much as a Warm and equable climate. It is, or ought to be, a proud boast of Southern Cali fornia that no matter when the quakes come no person Is forced Into the open in inclement weather. Those citizens of Los Angeles who camped in West Lake park or Pershing square while the earth trembled twere not front bitten nor rained upon. An earthquake could not occur in New York or Chicago with such cer tainty of agreeable circumstances. What more pleasant occupation while sitting In the open after one quake and waiting for another, than discussion of the disadvantages of earthquakes In climates leas bene)! cent. In almost any other land subject to earthquakes some special insur ance is required in the way of night apparel. Think of the discomforts of going to bed in a mackintosh or a fur coat. The glorious climate Of southern California makes these pre cautions unnecessary. One can sleep as comfortably under a tree as under a roof. Clearly, all the faults that exist In southern California are below the surface of the earth. We do not re call that any native son ever ad mitted a fuult of any kind. That is, to the present moment. But as they must admit their existence now, there is the soul-comforting assurance that these faults He burled deeply burled. strawberry crop Is only about 60 per cent of last year's in volume, it is expected that the higher prices being paid this year will bring a greater total for the crop than ever before. If Oregon merchants iwould see to it that 25 per cent of their stock was made in Oregon, there would not be enough workmen in the state to make the products. The result woulo be more workmen, bigger payrolls and more business for everybody in the state, especially the merchants. Hood River, Ore. More Hood River apples will be exported than sold in the domestic market this year, in the opinion of the Hood River agent of a London fruit compan.

Manager Cronk says that much building is b$fog talked of this year, but that shortage of cars and workmen may delay fall building until bad weather unless early action s taken and buiding plans are not left till the last minute as is usually the case. Carpenters Johnson, Cox and Baldwin are already busy and have much work ahead in some cases. Almost certain advances in lumber prices and scarcity of labor will make the "Last Min ute" builder wish he had planned and started earlier. "Size up your crops" and PLAN "AFTER HARVEST BUILDING" NOW, is Manager Cronk 's advice.
