OFFICIAL PAPER FOR MORROW COUNTY Actors Face Death Rapids World Market Good. Democratic newspaper correspondents in Wash-. inpton who are "in on the know" stated at the time of the announcement Clemenceau was to address the American Farm Bureau Federation that this extra speech had been arranged by some of those in close touch with his trip to America for the pur pose of attempting to break down the resistance in the Mi Jdle West to the cancellation of foreign loans and the entrance of the United States into Euro pean politics. It is understood that the meeting was arranged by Mr. Bernard Raruch and .Mr. Gray Silver. Mr. Baruch. as everyone knows, was one of the most influential, if not the most influential, member of President Wilson's unofficial cabinet, and is an ag gressive exponent of the policy of the United States entering into European affairs. Mr. Baruch and Col. E. M. House, who probably was the onlv Dem ocrat who ranked Mr. Baruch in President Wilson's confidence, were the sponsors of Clemenceau's trip to the United States. Mr. Baruch has also been a verv liberal contributor to the Democratic Na ional Committee's campaign fund and is under stood to be plaving a very large but adroit part in j the 1924 campaign preliminaries. Mr. Silver is a prominent Democrat from West Virginia whose name has been mentioned in con nection with the Democratic nomination for either the Presidency or Vice Presidency in 1924 in the belief that he could soring the farm vote because of his connection with the American Farm Bureau Federation in the capacity of its legislative agent at Washington. Both Mr. Baruch and Clemenceau told those at the American Farm Bureau Federation meeting that the farmers' present plight is due to the "iso lation'' of the United Staes from European affairs. Mr. Baruch made an address to the meeting im mediately preceding the address by Clemenceau in which he stated that the need of the farmer today is a "re-establishment" of his foreign markets and that as a precedent to this the United States must change its international policy. Clemenceau evi dently had been coached along the same lines for he made the allegation that the prosperity of the American farmer depended upon his interest in foreign affairs and that he has lost the foreign mar- kets because the United States is not participaing in foreign affairs. This argument is now being stressed in all Dem ocratic newspapers and Democratic publicity. Take for example an editorial in the New York World of December 10 from wheih the following is quot ed: "The first cause of the low price of farm products is due to the fact that Europe cannot buy as she did. About 15 per cent of our agricultural products is sold abroad. If it cannot be sold abroad it re mains in this country as a surplus and puUs down the domestic price. This is just what has happened in the last two years. The Western farmer sells in the world market. His prices are fixed in the world market and if the world market is sud denly unaMe to buy a collapse in farm prices is inevitable." These statements are not true. They are in ab solute disregard of the record of the United States Bureau of Foreign Commerce. This record shows that instead of the American farmer losing the Eu ropean markets in the last two years he has export ed more products during the last two years than anv period in American history. Of some products, such as grain, the exports of the past two years have been from two to five times greater than any previous period in American his tory. In brief, the American farmer has not lost his European markets. Therefore there is no sense in talking about a "re-establishment" of them. That the so-called "isolation" of the United States since the war has not hurt the American farmer is plain ly evident in the fact that never before has he en joyed such a foreign market as he has during this period. ! judges,' lawyers, juries all so funny. Ch, he is a scream. His very presence transforms tragedy to a farce. Law, morals, decjr.cy. ire burlesque to this purged mountain of meat. He has such a contagious smile; and he does such funnv things. At his mirthful parry Virginia died so funnv; and it was all so funnv; how the funnv witnesses, for the funny court, chanced their funnv viewpoint: life is one long laugh; law is a joke; the morals and decency the onlv trairedv. If the High Priest of Hollywood could but speak again, and with the mere wiggle-waei'le of his tongue consign all trage dy to the oblivion of Night, and leave on the stage of life naught but comedy, then this life would be one long ripple of laughter from the cradle to the grave. His irrestible humor has made a clown out of Willie Hayes, and holy Hollywood a temple of mirth. But yet, alas, alack and anon, we shall see. We shall see if the joke can get by the box office and American manhood and womanhood will pay their small silver tithing to see "Fatty" smile again. Blue Mountain Eagle. Swimming Pauline Starke and Henry B. Wal thall in Current Flowing 35 Milea an Hour. It is no easy tusk to man a canoe through the rapids of the rivers in the mountains of Northern Oregon. It is doubly difficult to iro through these rapids in a paddL'less canoe toward great falls without a serious accidt-rt occurring. Yet this is just 'he rent thpt Pauline Starke, the her oine c f Viiagravh's ''Flower of the No t'l " pel fenced. This brave eirl faces death in or der to make one o." the most thrilling scones in the production. She over turned the canoe a hundred yards .rbove the falls at a point where the water waj rushing on at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour. For sever al moments she breasts the current wailine for Henry B. Walthall, the hero of the production, to swim out anil rescue her. When the scene was completed, and the two players safely ashore they were really exhausted, and it required a rest of several hours before they were ablo to continue the scenes. "Flower of the North," which will be shown at Star Theater on Sunday and Mondav. is based upon a novel bv James Oliver Curwood, and is con sidered one of his best works. An all-star cast under the direction of David Smith was engaged for the film. Grapefruit at Morn Makes Doctors Forlorn They say if you eat an apple a day you keep the doctor away. But what about the grapefruit? As a fact it is the rhyme, the aptness of the thought, that has helped make the apple famous, with all due respect to the advertising power of Mohter Eve. "A grapefruit a day keeps the doctor away," had it been sent trippingly from the tongue of America, would have spelled health and happi ness through the nation, and incidentally have developed a great industry of countless value, to our railroads, to our shipping, to our farmers in fact to all the people in every section of the country. Of course there is no rivalry between the apple and the grapefruit. Both are health giving and de licious. One should be eaten in the morning and the other at night, and so, instead of a divided coup let, perhaps we might suggest a modest quatrain for general study and dissemination. An apple each night And a grapefruit each morn Make men and maids bright And keep doctors forlorn. Clemenceau, the Tiger of France, announces that grapefruit is the most vitalizing and health giving of all foods, and such an endorsement, com ing from one who has demonstrated his belief in the practical application of beneficial food theories bv eating onion soup for breakfast is worthy of con sideration. Millions of Americans would be healthier and happier if they ate grapefruit every day. Medical men sav it is the most beneficial of all fruits. There is a very practical side to the potentiality of the grapefruit. What the orange and the prune have done for California, grapefruit can do for Florida. There are tens of thousands of acres of Florida lands that will grow the most lucious grape fruit in the world. If the legislature of the state would come to regard advertising as of more mo ment than log roiling, the demand for this food would soon be quadrupled, idle lands would be turned into productive groves. Then America would have a lower death rate and a healthier bank account. IIS New Public Service Com mint on Or- Ka ntxed .Thomas K. Campbell Assumes Duties and Has Desk He Formerly Occupied.

Peck was in town from his Rhea creek farm on Tuesday. While the roads have not settled real good yet, they are fast getting into shape Ev 'II ii II M " II $ rx v H There is already proposed in advance of the leg islature meeting following measures as part of the program of "tax-reduction" in Oregon:. A severance tax to be levied on all timber cut and on all mineral wealth taken from government lands A graduated income tax along the same lines as now collected by the federal government to be col lected by the state. The creation of a state market commission to regulate markets and send out official market re ports by the slate. An "honest fabric" law that requires woolen mills and clothing manufacturers to attach label showing quality of goods. Kepeal law exempting from taxation notes se cured by mortgages on land. Increase gasoline tax from two to four cents a gMlon. and increase licenses on expensive automo biles. Increased taxes are to be levied on public ser vice corporations, in turn to be collected from the consumer Free public school textbooks to be added to tax payers" burdens. It would not be altogether ironical to ask where tax reduction, economy and retrenchment appear in the above program? There seems to be nothing but new forms of taxation and tax increases. Why should a prosperous home seeker or invest or be interestedin locating in a state with a state income tax and a prohibitive gasoline tax on top of all other taxes? -Manufacturer. Perhaps the most serious reflection on American intelligence is the fact that from the formation of our nation to the present day we have spent nine tenths of our time in convincing our own people that imported goods are better than those of our own manufacture. In Great Britain and other countries the words Home Made stand as a guarantee of excellence. With us the mystic word imported is used by every merchandiser in the land to command the higher price, and no opportunity ever is lost to convince the customer that if real worth be desired then the imrored article must be bought. Neither loyalty, tariff, common sense or anything else has served to stem this tide of boosting for the foreigner at the expense of the American. Naturally the tendency has been to cause the American manufacturer to live up or rather down to his reputation and produce in many cases goods not quite up to the standard of those that come to us from foreign lands. The American can manufacture the best quality goods in the world, no matter what the line, if he sets himself the task, but in chinaware he knows we think of Limoges or Dresden; in pottery we think of Lincolnshire; ni cutlery we dream only of Sheffield; our linens remind us only of Nottingham and Belfast. Always we are told the imported article ranks first. If we had been hired, each one of us, to strangle American production, we could not have made a better job of it. We have become obsessed with the thought of foreign superiority. If the American people will respond to the battle cry of "Home-Made," and the American manufac turer will answer the call, it will give us a more constructive loyalty than ten thousand Fourth of July orations, and do more to solving our econom ic problems than anything one can conceive. t Will Hayes, who left President Harding's cabinet to become supreme dictator and mentor for Movie lmid. has iv-ued his oliicial pardon for Mr. Roscoe Arbuckle. He has purged his soiled and tainted past and whitewashed his whiter than Hollywood miow. We trust that Divine mercy will likewise be furthcoming to Mr. Arbuckle. Mr. Arbuckle is the greatest of comedians. Hverything that he comes in contact with turns to a joke. He jested with the gaunt and gran specter of Death with Virginia Kappe playing a minor pan. It is "Fatty" the fun nv. It is all comedy with him. A drunken orgie with dead girl was one of his side-splitting jokes. He threw one of his funny darts into the unholy Volstead luu. Ha, ha. Ira; and he made courts, Where the Disgrace Is A Philadelphia employer attending, the Building Congress in Boston recently was quoted as saying: "It is no disgrace to be a bricklayer. They get $1 1 a day in our city." It never has been a disgrace to be a good bricklayer or a good workman at any trade, whether the pay be $1 1 a day or more or less. All work is honorable, the work of the hands no less than the work of the brain. The only disgrace is when any worker refuses to do a fair day's work for a fair day's pay. Springfield (Mass.) Union. The new county court in Lane county propose to get at tax reduction by lopping off a number of county employees, which they deem unnecessary to the well-being of the people. Those dismissed are the county agent, salary $2000; county road master, salary $2700; county bridge superinten dent, salary $2000; county health nurse, salary $2400; rural school supervisor, salary $1500, and head courthouse janitor, salary $1440.
