CROSS FIRE HITS
GRAIN INSPECTOR
(Continued from First Paire)
csn he shipped without a smutting
process, they should not b docked
for this work when it is no dona. An
investigation of th actual smutting
operations of the exporters attempted
int summer by departments of Ore
eon and Washington was stopped, it
is reported, when it was found that
every time a man was sent by In
spector Church to check on the smut
ting houses. Church rang a bell warn
ing th ecperators who immediately
doubled their crew and handled less
wheat, to run up the estimate of
operating cons. Local farmers con
tend that the smutitng charge is too
high on some grades of wheat. The
investigation is now in the hands of
the federal grain department.
The hearing conducted by a repre
sentative of the United States attor
ney general, in Portland early this
month has been held from the public
but sufficient information has been
secured, so that farmers of this sec
tion, through the farm bureau, plan
the removal of Church as inspector
no matter what the government de
cision is.
Church testified at the hearing, it
is reported, that while he was grading
the grain which was given a clean
bill on the Great City in opposition
to federal grades, that he was acting
in the capacity of a sort of helper for
the Gray Rosenbaum company and
tM in the capacity of inspector, de
spite the fact that he is paid a big
full time salary by the state.
It was intimated at the hearing on
more than one occasion that materia!
coming into the inspection depart
ment was graded more rigidly than
was the sjime material being graded
out for export for the exporting
firms.
From this exposure of questionable
methods employed by some exporting
firms to influence the judgment of
grain inspectors, is likely to come
more definite rulings from the public
service commission of Oregon, the de
partment of agriculture of the state
of Washington, and from the federal
grain inspection division on future
procedure, and the discharge of
Church as well as of any deputy in
spector who is connected with any ex
port firm, farmer or group of farm
ers in a way detrimental to the im
partiality of the state inspection department.

(Continued from Page 1)
progress of a negative kind can be
said to have resulted from the latest
conference. Hope has been expressed
that France and Germany too are
gradually developing such attitude
toward the problem that an ventual
"meeting of minds" is not to be dis
paired of. The Unitd States will
figure in the next parley, as the Al
lied debt question is inextricably in
volved with that of the reparations.
Germany's floating debt at the end of
October was 720 billion marks as
against 628 billions a month earlier,
and the preliminary budget for 1923
estimates a deficit of 1085 millions.

A poor cold test oil will not lubri
cate your motor in cold weather. It
congeals in the oil reservoir and is not
responsive to the action of the pump.
Therefore while your engine is warm
ing up, it is running practically with
jut any lubrication. The result : worn
oearings, scored cylinder walls, and
Irain on batteries.

prt-fer security from German attack
to payment of the reparations. Of

the worst sufferer, oppressed with
trie deadly fear that some day she will

America will at once go to her aid.
Senators Borah, Hitchcock. Caraway,
Edge and N orris to the contrary not
withstanding. Money Moved Through Chicago
Streets.
Two hundred and fifty tons of
money, about $50,000,000, were moved
through the congested streets of Chi
cago's down town district a few days
si:o. when the Chicago Federal Re
serve Bank moved all its valuables
from its old home to the new 1700,
000 building at LaSalle and Adams
streets, where it is now installed.
j The new treasury house, protected by
3..xH),000 tons of steel and enormous
masses of reinforced concrete, has
storatre room available in its vaults
for all the gold of the Federal Re
serve system, more than $3,000,000,
000, should an emergency ever arise
to make its transfer advisable.
California Claims Highest Motor
Registratioa.
California now is claiming the lead
in motor ear registration for the tint
ed States. The Los An (teles Chamber
of Commerce has issued a statement
saying that the present total for the
state is 837.000. almost one-third of
which is in Los Angeles County. On
January 1, the registration of cars in
New York State was reported as 812.
031. The increase of ears registered
this year in California ia set at SO
per cent over last year. Californians
declare that this percentage is a
greater ration than ever before
achieved by any state in the Union.
The extraordinary increase may be
attributed to a combination of good
roads and a climate which permits
touring the year sround.
Kansas Hearing Reopens Question.
The whole question of agricultural
freight rates will be reopened before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
I'ecemher 11, when hearings will be
started on the application of the
Kansas Railroad Commission for a
second reduction in the rates on
grains, grain products and hay. Min
nesota, North and boutn uaxoia, Ne
braska, Iowa and half a dozen other
states joined with Kansas after the
application was made. No specific
reduction is sought by the applicants.
A year ago they asked for a decrease
equal to the increase of August, 1920.
The commission granted approxi
mately half that amount Clyde Reed,
of Kansas, head of the joint commit
tee appointed to present arguments
for reductions, indicated that the
states now hope to get the other half.
It is the purpose of the applicants
to show that present rates make prof
itable farming impossible. Agitation
of the agricultural rate question ia
certain to bring forward the question
of wages. The commission has no
authority over wages, but the ques
tion of wages must nevertheless be
taken into consideration in rate mak
ing for far more than half the cost
of operation of the railroads is that
of wages. President Harding is said
to favor bringing the Railway Labor
Board to Washington, or uniting the
board and commission in one body so
that the question of rates and wages
can be dealt with simultaneously.

THRIFT FOUNDED
THE NATION
Three hundred and two years ago a band of Pilgrims
cast anchor on a wild New England shore.
Scarcely had these brave pioneers settled in their new
colony when the terrible winter was upon them. Only
half of the party survived the hardships and suffering
of that winter.
Nothing daunted, those who were spared stayed on,
and planted their crops. By exercising the strictest
economy they were able to live and prosper. These Pil
grims learned the value of thrift. Their method left us
a lesson that we would do well to follow.
You and your family will prosper and be thankful
for opening an account in this reliable institution.
Practice thrift with your spare dollars that is the
surest road to wealth.
