1'endleton has lost a number of her
beat citnens during the last twelve
i months. It was a heavy blow when
tl!J- x- Bufess and George Perringer

If ' time later Jack Robinson, one of the
u .... .
Kound-l p s premier Boosters and a
leading citizen of Pendleton, lost his
life in an automobile accident near
Sax crossing. The latest tragedy fills
Pendleton's cup of sorrotw to over
flowing. And the whole Northwest is
mourning the death of the best sheriff
ever produced by this section of the
west. Til Taylor was a man in every
sense of the word and by his deeds in
lite his memory will be perpetuated
throughout the years. It twill be a
long, long time before Umatilla coun
ty finds another Til Taylor.
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 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.

Hidden Faults
During a calm between earth
quakes permit us to offer a few re
marks upon the glorious climate of
southern California.
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.
The English apple crop, he says, Is
only about 25 per cent of normal,
which condition will force the export
market to high levels. ;
North Bend. Ore. The Buehner j
Lumber company has started con-:

Put Today 's Prosperity Into Much-Needed Buildings
District Manager Cronk of the Tura-A-Lum Lumber Company states that he is working
on List No. 12, which is the third and latest decline in lumber prices this year. 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. Tum-A-Lum Plan Department furnishes in 48 hours when required, plan and
estimate of cost of buildings for Homes and Farms. No obligation to buy. District Manager
Cronk has the Tum-A-Lum plan books of Homes (pictures of interiors) and Farm Buildings
which he will be glad to explain.
