It was. Tor tho plater part, nothing
short of a sa. sad waiL settinc out at
length and in dismal detail all of ihe
sad misfortunes this section has fallen
heir to in the last quarter of a cen
tury; calling' up and publishing to the
world those thitiRs that the people have
tried to live down, and which by their
grace and grit they have lived down in
a very large measure.
Mr. Bennett certainly pot off en the
wrong foot, and it would appear that
because of the fact that he failed to
make a '"go" of the Irrigon project in
the early history of that promotion
scheme of the late lamented Guarantee
& Trust Co.. he is going to 'get even by
throwing the harpoon into the entire
county. We are sorry for this, and re
gret that the good sense of the editor
of the Oregonian did not prompt him to
blue pencil at least three-fourths of
the Bennett writeup.
The faint praise doled out in the lat
ter part of the article does not in the
least compensate for the injustice done
in the main portion.
It was some sad wail, indeed.

W". U. I.aw scn is one of the greatest
of England's economists. In a very re
cer.t issue cf London Financial News,
he says:
" The economic crisis has gone much
farther than question of cost or of
money. The nation is heading for some
thirg much worse than bankruptcy.
Tfc.it would be a bearable calamity af
ter nil we have passed through, but ac
tual starvation is another story. Hith
erto only semi-savage races have felt
it as a reality. Highly civilized peoples
have only read about it and subscribed

ear bruits us within reach of the uni-e-sal
peril There is no occasion to
echo the sensational alarms of Mr
Hoover and other American food ex- :
pert Their pessimist prophecies may ;
be taken at a considerable discount and i
et leave margin enough to distress all
serious human beings. The world is I
not grow ing food enough for its rapidly i
increasing population, and much of
what it does grow is wasted. When
we have to fight famine in our own
homes Mr. Crammond's paper billions
will shrivel up at the sight of it.
Germany needs millions of tons of
food. Austria is starving. Spain and
France and Italy arc on short rations
Italy sends Russia a perfectly good
shipload of merchandise and in pay
ment she sends a shipload of wheat
purposely mixed up with broken bot
tles, tons of chipped brick and filth of
the filthiest sort indicating that Rus
sia won't play fair with those that
trade with her; thus her grain won't
compete with ours.
Yes, the American farmer's market
is cut out for him for a quarter of a
century. It is up to him to see that our
policies of credit etc, should be such
as to make it easier for the foreign na
tions to buy his products.

It was evening and several callers
pr ohattinsr in the parlor, when a

Cooperation between the country
newspapers and the county agents is
beginning to be a great force in this
country. ,
County agents and other agricultural
authorities who are receiving the sup
port of their local newspapers in carry
ing on their work among farmers are
coming to realize that it is not a one-
sided thing when the cooperation of
the press is mentioned.
"Many of them are boosting the lo
cal paper all they can," declares the
North Carolina Extension Farm News.
"More power to these agents and to all
other friends of the country press now
is the time to rally around your home
paper and do everything possible to In
sure its weathering the present situa
tion.
"A community without a newspaper
is no place In which to live. The rural
newspaper is above all other things a
server of its community. It must ga
ther all the tangled threads of life aid
from them weave stories that keep the
community informed and alive."
Morrow county feels' proud to be
honored by the appointment of one of
Its citizens on the State Highway Com
mission. Mr. FJarratt will make good
and he has the Bolid backing of his
home county. Situated so that he can
give It the attention It will require, he
will be a genuine factor In pushing for
ward the good work already under way
by the Commission. Governor Olcott
hns made an excellent choice.
What Are the Outstanding Fea
tures of Our Industrial Future?
The Manufacturer.
Managers of industries, corporations
and banking institutions are facing re
sponsibilities for the next two years
that would stagger generals of armies
and statesmen, with this difference: the
Industrial leaders cannot fall back upon
the .lawmaking and taxation powers of
the government to help them solve the
riddle involved In keeping their. proper
ties intact and their customers and em
ployees satisfied, to not even mention
their stockholders.
State and federal instrumentalities
must become more constructive and
helpful If the hie factors In the nation
al prospeilty status are not to be han
dicapped and cripnied beyond resuscita
tion. Who can say our state agencies
have in the main been helplul In the so
lution of Industrial problems? Govern
ment as a rule is cold and unsympathet
ic toward struggling industries and
public servit e un letakinKS with pri
vate capital Should not this policy be
reversed '
What t the two greatest factofs in
restoring normalcy ami preventing a
national collapse industrially and fi
nancially? We have parsed through a
'cmsuniers strike" and are now in the
ihroes of an industrial stage whore
home consumption is falling off and
f.neign markets arc diminishing from
the great wartime demands made on the
nation.
The readjustment that will take place
in the next two yea's will be attended
bv dwlinlng prbes and wages. Capital.
Labor and Agriculture will have to ab
sorb their share of the shrinkage In
vaiu.s and e. onorni" losses. There will
be no margin for wild talk or wild ac
tions and Intelligence must reign as
the superior power in human affairs and
overpower resorts lo violence.
Twenty billions spent In world war,
and as much more lost through Individ
ual extravagance and Inefficiency, and
morale lowered through the excitement
of a great world struggle against mili
tary autocracy, requires of every Amer
ican citizen the highest ard most pa
triotic resolution to repair the great
lust to our normal prosperity.
H can we maintain the high walls
of the American Zlon and the high stan
dards of comfort and prosperity to
which we are accustomed f Only by In

PEOPLE living

come to my offices
to have their teeth
fixed up. I make it
a rule that those
from a distance
shall be waited
upon immediately
and their work be
completed first, so
they can go back home as
soon as possible.
Years ago I discovered how
to extract and fix teeth with
out hurling, and was so
successful that people
called me "Painless"
Parker. My practice has
grown until I now have
twenty-eight offices,
and all my associ
ates in these offices
have been taught
how to practice
painless dentistry
as well as I can do
it myself. We have
fixed up the teeth
of over a million
people, and call our
way of practicing
"the E. R. Parker System."
If your teeth are bothering
you, and you want them put
in good shape without hurt
