It has been suggested and the sug
gestion is a good one that we revive
the extinct P. T. A. organiiation. A
P. T. A. can be a powerful factor in
the life of a community and when
.functioning properly makes for great
er harmony in the school life and ben
efits both teachers and patrons. Let
us think the matter over at any rate.

dependence, Ore., were expected home

Eva Padberg is in town for the
fall and winter to attend high school.
She makes her home with Mrs. Sadie

Lawrence Beach expects to go to
Walla Walla soon where he will be
come a student at Whitman.
Mr. and Mrs. Lee Reaney are here
from Salem for a visit among rela-
mean a crop of 6i6.000,000 bushel.
This would be larger than any winter
wheat crop since li19. If a yield per
acre equal to the average of the past
ten year were secured (14.5 bushels)
on this acreage, it would mean a crop
of b86.000.000 bushels or about 40 per
cent more than was harvested in 1925.
In the past five years the spring
wheat crop has averaged 2o3.000.0O0
bushels, which added to 586.000,000
bushels of winter wheat would make
a total of 839,000,000 bushels. This
would produce an exportable surplus
of from 160.000,000 to 240.000.000 bu
shels in the face of an upward trend
in world production. The actual feed,
seed and flour consumption of the
present population in the United
States may vary from 600,000.000 to
675.000,000 bushels. The actual re
quirements or use made of the wheat
crop, of course, will vary with the
prices of wheat and substitutes for
wheat. In years when the price of
wheat is low and the price of other
feeds is high the amount fed to live
stock is increased. High prices for
wheat may also somewhat restrict the
domestic use of flour.
Farmers, in planning their plant
ing, should consider not only the out
look for total wheat crop but also the
outlook for the class of wheat which
they produce. In recent years the
United States has consumed for feed,
seed and in mill grindings, approxi
mately 230.000.000 bushels of Soft
Red Winter, 200,000,000 bushels of
Hard Red Winter and about 50,000,000
bushels of White wheat, in addition
to practically all the Hard Red Spring
wheat produced. The experience of
the past few years indicates that
these quantities of these classes can
be disponed of within the United i
States without competing in foreign ;
market.
Recent prices of winter wheats
compared with prices last year on
domestic and foreign market indi
cate the significance of changea from
a world market basis to a domestic
basis. Last year the Hard winter
wheat crop was considerably larger
than the domestic requirements white
the Soft Red winter was only slightly
above and before the year closed was
selling at a premium over Hard win
ter wheat. At Chicago, for example,
the average price of No. 2 Red Win
ter for the year beginning July, li23,
was four cents below the average for
No, 2 Hard Winter, whereas last year,
beginning July, 1924, it averaged 19
cents above, and at the end of the
year in June, 1925, it averaged 21
cents above. The effect of this year's
shortage upon prices of both the
Hard and Soft Winter wheats is
shown in prevailing futures prices
in Chicago and Liverpool. December
futures August 28 were higher in
Chicago and Kansas City than in
Liverpool, being 155 H in Chicago and
104- in Liverpool, whereas last year
August 28 the Liverpool December
futures were 15 cents above Chicago.
The Foreign Situation.
There is a tendency for the area
seeded to wheat to increase in many
countries. In Europe, the countries
that were affected by the war are
recovering. In 19 European countries
including all important producing
countries outside of Russia, which
have reported for this year, the to
tal area amounts to 63,592,000 acres,
as compared with 61,313,000 acres in
1922. It is now 92 per cent of the
estimated prewar average area in the
same countries. Some of the Balkan
countries have complete'y recovered
and with a normal harvest may be
expected to produce wheat for ex
port, The extent of recovery in Rus
sia is not known, but since the crop
this year is expected to be large
enough to provide some wheat for ex
port, It is probable with normal con
ditions Russia will continue to be
an exporter.
While European countries have
been recovering production and there
by reducing their requirements from
other countries, the wheat areas in
Australia, Argentina, and Canada have
been increasing. The wheat area of
Canada increased from a prewar acre-
ge of 9.945.000 acres to 23,000.000
acres in 1921. Since 1921 the area
has remained almost constant, being
around 22.000,000 acres. There are
still large areas in Canada suitable
for wheat production and favorable
conditions may cause further expan
sion in area. The Australian wheat
area has increased from a prewar
average of 7,600.000 to 10,838.000
acre. Argentina reports having
sown a record agreage of 18,533,000,
at compared with 17,792.000 acres last
year. The area reported is IS per
cent higher than the prewar aver
age. The wheat area of these three
countries is now about 63 per cent
above the prewar average.
The world's production depends so
much upon yields per acre that it can
not be predicted upon the basis of
acreage alone. In the long run, how
ever, the trend of acreage largely de
termines the trend of production. In
considering the past year it should
not be overlooked tnat tne severe
winter killing in the United States
Iana low yieias on ine remaining crw
age have been a very important factor

Money Talks
But there is a greater advantae in the
practice of thrift and the saving of
money, a fact that you can see in the
lives of thousands of successful men.
It is the habits formed, self control
acquired and the work that the mind
does in place of the follies that go

NO, COMPANY'S NOT COMING
IF you drop a dish cloth, company won' t come, save
as a matter of coincidence. Popular superstitions like
thi3 are losing ground; so is the superstition that
there is something mysteriously better about eastern"
motor lubricants, merely because they cost more and
are made in the east
The Right Way to Judge Motor Oils'
More than ever, motorists are discovering that the
test of an oil is not where but how it is made, and how
it lubricates, That's why Zerolene refined from se
lected western naphthenlc base crudes is today suc
cessfully lubricating more cars in the. Pacific Coast
states than any other oil made.
An Exclusive Process What it Does
Lubricating qualities have never been more carefully
or successfully preserved than by the processes used
at Standard Oil Company refineries for the refining of
Zerolene: the Zerolene high-vacuum process, the Zero
lene process of filtration through 40 tons of Florida Ful
ler's Earth, the refineries' 15 positive checks for quality!
What Zerolene Will Do For Your Car
Zerolene will give your car better lubrication: it
increases the gasoline mileage, reduces carbon-removal
and maintenance costs and lengthens the life of any
engine in which it is used. Why pay tribute to a supes
stition? Insist on Zerolene. Always ask for Zerolene
by name.
Qet the Foctsl
A series of independent and Impartial reports show
ing the experience of large users with Zerolene motor
oil has been collected in our booklet, "Why Pay Tribute
to a Superstition?" Ask any Standard Oil Company rep
resentative or Zerolene dealer for a copy.
Insist on Zerolene even
if it does cost less
