RBI President Harding is seen here recommending to Congress that the "costly epeiment" in the shipping business be brought to an end and advising that ship subsidy legislation is necessary to put the American flag foremost on the seas. The administration has pointed out that an American merchant marine is as vital to farmer and the inland manufacturer as to the business men on the seaboard. Ships are the railroads of international commerce carrying American man ufactures to all corners of the earth. Ships spell increased trade and steady employment. Community Service HOLDS WORLD WIDE WIRELESS SUCCESS President of Radio Corpora tion Comments on Existing and Expected Facilities Service Is Unlimited; Benefits Uncounted; Life Saved and Property Guarded Editor's Note Edward . Nolly is the head of the Radio Corporation of America and one of the few great authorities on this comparatively new method of instant communica tion. While to many it is still a play thing to be classed with the phono graph those who are familiar with its possibilities declare it will do much to introduce a new era of communi cation between the furthermost points on the world's surface. This brief outline of some of the LEONARD ONLY CHAMF WHO IS MAMMY BOY FARMERS & STOCKGROWERS NATIONAL BANK Heppner Oregon ''''-'''' J Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world, is the only title holder now wearing a crowii who has not risked wedlock. He is very much of a home boy and lives with his mother and sister in New York. This is the most recent pic. ture of the champion and his mother. aspects of radio is written from a viewpoint not often presented to the puoiic at large. My purpose is to show it as an auxiliary to commerce rather than to stress the more famil iar keynote of the wonders of wire less," which have heen the subject of many articles in the daily press. True, it is very baffling, from a scientific "reason why" standpoint, but so is electricity, which no one has yet been able to define. The single fact that radio commun ication is the one medium capable of placing isolated communities in in stant touch with the centers of civili zation has a boundless appeal to the imagination. That, too, it has for ever, until it becomes a general household utility it will probably re main in the public mind as something very mysterious, a sort of witch craft, interesting, but making little appeal for intimate acquaintance, and comparatively few people realize that this means of communication has already a fixed place in the world's affairs; that it is, in fact, an economic factor of major importance, and world wide in its applicability, The Reason Why. The underlying reason for the rap id strides it has made is not because of its romantic, intangible or myster ious nature. Its important position is due solely to its utility, in combin ation with the three essentials of ac curacy, speed and economy. In addition to providing mariners with weather reports, storm signals and warnings of possible dangers to navigation, it enables passengers at sea to keep in touch with world af fairs and with the movements of commerce and industry. Daily news bulletins are published on practically all of the ocean going vessels and transactions of great magnitude and of momentous importance are being carried on constantly between ship and shore through the medium of radio communication. In its international application, ra dio is today carrying overseas a very material percentage of the world's communications. Radiograms, com mercial and social, aggregating mil lions of words annually, are being sent daily across the Atlantic! and Pa cific oceans. These are regular paid communications, filed just as cable grams are, and delivered with the ac curacy and speed so essential to the users of long distance communica tion. Direct wireless service is main tained, night and day, with Great Bri tain, France, Germany, Norway, Ha- waii and Japan, at rates which are from four to twenty-four cents per word lower than the cable rates. Economy being the keynote of com merce, the enormous total saving ef fected by the use of radio in the con duct of international communications makes it a matter of vital interest to everyone, and this interest has mani fested itself in the constantly grow ing number of countries which are adopting radio as a means of com munication, and which are construct ing wireless stations with which to carry on this communication direct with other countries already thus equipped. A Radio Advantage. Another great advantage possess ed by radio is what might be termed its universality, with reference to communication with seveal distant points at the same time. This was illustrated on the occasion of the for mal opening of Radio Central, a su perpowred station of the Radio Cor poration of America, located at a point on Long Island about sixty-five miles distant from New York City. On November 5th, 1921, President Harding threw a switch in the White House, and a message which he had prepared for broadcasting to the world ran through a mechanical transmitter and the words, carried by land wire to Radio Central were flung into space without the intervening agency of a human hand. The first answer came back in stantly. Others followed close upon it. Acknowledgements were receiv ed from such widely scattered points as Norway, Germany, France, Italy England, Belgium, Sweden, Hawaii, Canada, Cuba, Japan, New Zealand, Panama, Columbia, Costa Rica, Ni caragua, Honduras and Australia. This fact of the universality 6f radio has a further application in the broadcasting of news, market, weather and crop reports, lectures, sermons, etc., through the medium of broadcasting stations which are in direct communication with thousands of wireless stations maintained by amateurs in all parts of the country and in this respect it is of especial value to isolated communities, out of touch otherwise with current happen ings and with the world's progress. This branch of the radio service NO TELLIN' WHAT. When a feller gets sick, as we sometimes do, the sun don't shine, nor the sky ain't blue. ... Bat the wind turns cold, an' the clou Is look black, when we shift from feet, to the flat of our back. . . an' we hurl bad words at our blasted luck, till the Doc comes in, with the pizen truck, an' he looks us over, inside an' out, to find if it's fever, or chills, or gout. . It might be measles, or mumps, or pip, it couia De tiu, or tne uog gone grippe, we may have fits, or it may be faints, or, more than like, it's a dozen complaints. ...

CO has awakened a wide interest in all parts of the world, and with the rapid development of the wireless tele phone persons in remote districts, as well as passengers at sea, are pnv ileged to listen to concerts by famous artists in the large musical centers and to hear, not the dots and dashes of the telegraph code, but the exact words of spoken addresses, etc., etc Not a day passes but our daily pa pers carry stories of new accomplish ments in this direction, and I venture the prediction that in the not far dis tant future radio sets, for both tele phone and telegraph, will be a vital part of the equipment of every Am erican home. The Free Public Library By Catherine Jones. "The library is a vital factor in every persons life. Library facilities should be made available as far as as possible to everyone," says Miss Lucia Haley, head of continuations at the Oregon Agricultural college h brary.

Man-OVW Proud Daddy Her is shown a bit of horseflesh which will be watched with great deal of in terest for the next two or t h r e jears. It is th first colt from the fastest horse ever bred, Man-o'-War, now retired. The newcomer was born last week in Lexing ton, Ky. The colt should show just what may be ex pected of it at two or three years of age. Man-'o-War first showed his wonderful speed as a two-year-old. The colt's mother is Masquerade, herself of very fast blood. ar a Libraries in the small towns are j helpless as a rule because of the lack of sufficient funds. A Jirbary loca ted either at the county seat or the town best suited to the purpose, would be the better way of solving the small town library problem. The central library could loan books to all the towns of the county. A wider and more complete selection-of read ing material would then be available for all. Oregon laws provide for the levy ing of taxes by counties and towns for the maintaing of free public li braries. The appointment of a board of five citizens to manage the library and funds is also provided for. Consulting the state librarian, is the first step in' the starting of a li brary. The librarian can offer valu able advice and can recommend a good librarian to take charge. A saving of money, a selection of only the best equipment, and a great er amount of efficiency in starting the library, will be made possible by the hiring of a competent librarian. She is most familiar with the work. The board at best is a group of busy peo ple who can not afford to give as much time as the librarian. A poor selection of books is guard ed against by a 1021 ammendment to the Oregon laws. To buy books which are not on an approved list is sued by the American library associa tion, is unlawful for a library not having an income in excess of $2500 a year. "Establish the library first in some rented building. Prove that it is of value to the community. Something workable is necessary before a per manent building can be thought of. Above all, ask the advice of the state librarian before starting a movement to establish a library," is the counsel of Miss Haley. Corvallis, Oregon, March 8, 1922. Homey Philosophy for 1922 The greatest thing in the world we get for nothing if we want it educa tion but half of us don't know where to look for it. We have an idea it is all locked up in the little red schol house or the palatial university just as if education was book learn ing instead of development of mind and heart, the knowing of useful things and the expansion of our best qualities. Education doesn't begin until schooling ends. It is then we meet the real teachers other men and women, the birds, the flowers, the soul of books, the great expanse. Soon before we go to work we'll pick up our "talkers" and say to the people over in India "Good morning, boys. How are you fellows getting along over there?" and then we'll learn. The invisible school house has just opened. How the Suit Dollar Is Divided Presumably the American Woolen company will not send a vote of thanks to C. J. Fawcett, director of the wool marketing department of the American Farm Bureau Federa tion for his disclosures regarding the tiavcls of the suit buyer's dollar. It appears that on a suit of clothes which retails at $40 the wool grow er's share is $1.96. Hence the wool grower's part of the suit buyer's dol lar is 4.9 cents. Also a few other fallacies are exploded as for exam ple the statement that domestic wool is not suited to the manufacture of the better grades of men's wear. There is no better wool in the world than American wool. The injection of cotton and shoddy into fabrics has swelled the coffers of manufacturers who in addition have offered as an excuse for inferiority the poor qual ity of domestic wool. As the situa tion stands the wool growers get but a small share of the money and for their product condemnation in stead of praise. WANTED Small house with bath. Advance monthly payments guaranteed.

Ar rival of spring & fashions shows the major idea this year to be "twe-in-one" garments. The cape dress and cape-suits are among the newest showings. The idea offers woman a bargain of two garments for the price of one. The newest of fering is the coat shown here, which is converti ble either to a cape coat or a smart raglan sleeve sport coat. When sleeves ar unbuttoned they, form a cape. When' buttoned as shown on the left, a raglao sport model M ob taincd. K J 0 A, V "6 in
