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.

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.

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.
