Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard University, gives
what would be his final message to
the young people of America in the
first interview he has given for many
years, which appears in the current
issue of Collier's Weekly by John B.
Kennedy. Dr. Eliot, in his ninety
second year, believes it may be ad
visable to amend the Volstead law,
declares that America must become
a partner, not patron of all the
world, and sees the passing of unions
in labor and combinations among
capital. Here are his opinions:
"If I bad the opportunity to say a
final word to all the young people in
America, it would be this: Don't
think too much about yourself. When
all you can think of is yourself, you
are in a bad way.
"It may be advisable to amend the
Volstead law slightly to permit the
manufacture and sale of light beer;
but beyond that it would be dangerous
to go.
"New generations will find that
they can get along without liquor.
When the discovery is made by young
Americans that drink is neither de
sirable nor useful, prohibition will be
truly effective because then it will be
an accepted and not a controversial
fact.
"We have in alcoholism a major
evil which must be fought.
"On the surface there appears a
new social hypocrisy on the part of
the outwardly dry who are privately
wet.
"The manners of our youth today
are queer, but their morals are no
worse than those of their predeccs.
sors.
"I see nothing to regret in the Leer
condition of women politically and in
the field of livlihood-earning, unless
it might be that women are getitng
away from motherhood.
' "I believe the era of struggle be
tween capital and labor is drawing
to a close because it is so well known
that this sruggle is unprofitable to
both. I believe unions in labor will
pass and combinations among em
ployers will pass, for the common
sense of arbitration without organ
ized moral or physical force is becom
ing more apparent and convincing.
"Unwavering love is the basis of
genuine, enduring marriage, and the
price to be paid for unwavering love
is personal sacrifice. Even in small
things this self-denial for another,
particularly for one's life partner,
bears fruit in happiness.
"America must cling to ideals and
promote them. If we remain in purse-
proud isolation we may be secure, but
that security will be purchased at
the cost of our souls.
"The Republic is not an experi
ment, it is a fact; it can even with
stand the outbursts of the superheat
ed patriots who are mere jingoes mas
querading as statesmen and leaders.
Democracy has proved itself in Amer
ica, for with all the little faults we
make and magnify, our country is the
most blessed on earth."
What Your Health
Officer Does For You
(From State Board of Health)
How many people realize what the
functions of a Health Officer really
are? Probably in the eyes of some
he is a dispenser of gloom whose
most important duties are to tack up
a placard on your door if you are so
unfortunate as to catch an infectious
disease, and to see that you are kept
in quarantine until you recover. Us
ually you think of him as the official
to whom you have to complain if gar
bage is not removed regularly or if
an unpleasant odor comes from your
neighbor's chicken-coop. These things
may have been major functions in the
past. Today they are but a minor
detail among the important matters
with which a Health Officer has to
deal. What has caused this change?
Chiefly the increase in our scientific
knowledge as to the causes of conta
gious diseases and how they are con
veyed from person to person.
In the past a Health Officer had to
wait until a communicable disease ap
peared, and then isolate the patient
and any person with whom he had
been in contact. While this measure
is still of value, a rigorous condition
formerly imposed has been materially
modified. Now the chief duty of a
Health Officer is to take steps to pre
vent such diseases from occurring,
instead of waiting for them to appear
before taking action. Thus as an
efficient watchman, he keeps criminals
from entering the premises he guards
instead of arresting them after the
crime has been committed.
Diphtheria can be prevented by the
use of proper antitoxin. Typhoid
fever will not attack a person who
haB been protected with typhoid vac
cine. Small-pox will not find a vic
tim among those who have been suc
cessfully vaccinated within the last
few years while most recent of all a

In a recent interview Dr. Charles
W. Eliot, 92 year old President
Emeritus of Harvard University,

Is yourself you are in a bad way!"
fever is now available.
It is the Health Officer's duty to
see that the people of his community
know about these methods of pre
venting disease, and to urpe the par
ents to see that their children are
thus protected against communicable
diseases. He ha,s many other duties
ii. protecting the lives and promoting
the health of the people. The purity
of the water and riilk supplies in the
community are matters which he must
give careful attention. If there are
any conditions on the water shed
which may lead to the pollution of the
water suppty, or if it is known to be
contaminated, the Health Officer must
bring the facts before the local au
thorities so that proper steps may
be taken to render the water safe by
filtration or chlorination.
Milk from producers or dealers
who are dirty or careless must be
ruled out and methods by which the
milk is pasteurize!, carefully checked.
These are but a few of the most im
portant duties of the Health Officer,
but perhaps enough has been said to
indicate that he is one of the most
important officials in your community.
Aggie Mentor Brings
Spring Football to End
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis, June 2. Spring football prac
tice came to a close here this week
a successful close in the opinion of
Coach Paul J. Schissler and judg
ing from what the coach has to say,
things look mighty good for the Ag
gies next year. The last six weeks
have been spent in individual train
ing. Next call for footbal will be
September 15.
Twenty-two varsity lettermen and
28 freshmen will return to fight for
the Orange and Black. Four back
felds and almost four full teams will
report to Coach Schissler. Punters
and passers were issued footballs to
take home with them in order to keep
up the "feel" during the summer va
cation. Good clean living and plenty of
hard work was recommended to the
players by Coach Schissler. "I don't
believe in muscle hardening work for
fotball men during the summer," said
the coach. "I would advise the men
to keep out of logging camps as I
consider that class of work bad for
them. Hard work is good as long as
it is not muscle binding. It takes
too much time to loosen men up for
football after a siege of camp life."
This is the first year the Aggies
have no small colleges on their schedule.
SCOUT CAMP.
Eleven boys and the scout master
spent last week up Willow creek in
the timber and had a splendid time.
Many of the boys passed second class
tests in tracking, tire building, etc.
Ice cream and strawberries and cream
helped to relieve a possible monotony
of the boys' cooking.
Mrs. L. C. Westfall, graduate nurse
of Morrow General hospital, and son
Levi motored to Arlington Saturday
to meet Mr. Westfall who returned
to Heppner with them for a week's
visit.
U. of 0. Summer School
To Have Bip- Attendance
University of Oregon, Eugene, June
2. All previous attendance records
will undoubtedly be broken when the
twenty-second annual summer ses
sion of the University of Oregon
opens simultaneously in Eugene and
Portland on June 21. Based on the
50 to 100 inquiries which are being re
ceived daily, Alfred Powers, dean of
the extension division and director
of the Portland session, estimates
that the joint enrollment will exceed
1300.
Although the Eugene and Portland
sessions are held at the same time,
the courses offered do not duplicate
but are rather complementary to each
other. The Eugene session is devot
ed largely to work of a specialized,
advanced or graduate , nature while
the Portland session offers courses of
a more general or popular appeal.
Professor F. L. Stetson, of the
school of education, director of the
Eugene session, has announced an
impressive list of educators from
universities throughout the country
who will supplement the work offered
by outstanding men of the regular
faculty.
FARM POINTERS!
Chicks need plenty of clean fresh
v ater even when they have plenty of
skim milk. The skim milk is sufficient
as a drink for the chicks for the first
few days, but after they get older
they need the water too.
Incubators are frequently infested
with mites when the eggs are trans
ferred into them. If the mites are
present in numbers on the premises
they get into the incubators and
brooders in storage. These pests live
for some time without food and multi
ply rapidly when they have access to
the chicks.
The common black leaf spot of al
falfa in Oregon which .speckles the
foliage of he plant in the early spring
has been particularly abundant irt
the Willamette valley plantings this
year, says H. P. Barss, plant path
ologist of the experiment station.
Many growers cut the first crop a lit
tle early in order to save the leaves
which otherwise would turn yellow
and drop on. Sunshine and dry
weather which keep the plants dry
ordinarily check the disease. Alfalfa
is seldom troubled after the first cut
ting. When canning vegetables in the
home the best results come by cook
ing them under pressure. Green
beans are cooked 40 minutes under 10
pounds pressure, or 240 degrees, for
quarts and 35 minutes, for pints, at
the O. A. C. horticultural products
plant. Greens and spinach are cooked
90 minutes at 240 degrees for quarts,
young and tender peas being cooked
50 minutes at 240 degrees. If leafy
vegetables are packed too tight in
the cans they spoil. Over filling of
the jars prevents heat from penetrat
ing. An important consideration for suc
cess in farm or backyard poultry rais
ing is soil. A light, sandy soil through
which water leaches is best adapted
for intensive poultry raising. A light
loam that will grow good grass is also
well adapted for chickens. A heavy
clay loam is objectionable because the
land does not drain readily and it is
more difficult to keep the fowls healthy.

hath heard the signal of her release
on the bells of the Holy City, the
chimes of eternal peace." And she
having been a faithful and ardent
worker in the teaching of Friendship,
Love and Truth, therefore be it
Resolved, that Mistletoe Rebekah
