ADVERTISING RATES GIVEN ON APPLICATION SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year Six Months .- Three Months Single Copies MOO J. 00 .76 .06 MORROW COUNTY'S OFFICIAL PAPER Foreign Advertising Representative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION The Men Who Defend America. I T MAY be humiliating to some people who have been abusing the Prohibition agent to learn that ninety-three per cent of the agents are native Americans, while sixty-two per cent of the violators are foreign born. Mr. Walton Green, of the Prohibition Unit, gives this information in the Sat urday Evening Post. Mr. Green says of bootleggers, "The returns show 62 per cent aliens and 38 per cent native Americans. Only in the South Atlantic States is there a preponderance of native violators over foreign born, and that is accounted for by the great number of native born negroes in the rum business. In all other sections of the country the alien is the chief offender. Philadel phia violators are 80 per cent for eign born, Chicago 60 per cent, San Francisco 79 per cent, Pitts burgh 55 per cent, Los Angeles 68 per cent, and New York 85 per cent." Mr. Green calls attention to the fact that there are only about three thousand men employed by the Federal Government to control the Prohibition situation. He says: "The New York police force is five times as large as the entire Federal prohibition unit; and New York spends about $35,000,000 on its police force, compared with some $11,000,000 which the Uni ted States spends on interior en forcement." The question is whether we shall take our position with Amer ica and the Americans or with im ported criminals. The Business of Farming. OF NECESSITY, the farmer is the greatest business specu lator in the United States. Ad verse weather conditions, insects and numerous pests may ruin crop prospects almost in a day. As the situation is becoming more fully appreciated, farmers are learning the value of organizing and other- IMraiik Crane Says SastTlgMOim A WORD ABOUT PLAY THE difference between work and play is that work is activ ity for future reward and play is activity for its own sake. We lay bricks for the money we obtain; we play tennis for the fun we get out of it. Professionalism is decried in the realm of athletics, not be cause individuals capitalize their skill, but because as soon as money is paid for playing games the money becomes the reward instead of the joy of playing. Playing is no longer play; it has become work. An interesting book on "Games and Recreational Methods for Clubs, Camps and Scouts," by Charles F. Smith, is a valu able contribution to the subject of play because it shows how to organize inherent desire for play in children and gives practical information. The best education and development has always come from play. When we are at work at what interests us our faculties grow best. Food eaten with relish nourishes more than the safe food taken under compulsion. The same principle holds true for tasks and responsibilities. If taken with distaste they never benefit as they do when taken with joy. A game entered into with delight always is better for the health than a "daily dozen" if approached with distaste. Physi cal culture is most effective when taken as play. The best education and development also come as play. A game of authors or a cross-word puzzle contributes more lasting information than a history of literature read under com pulsion or a certain number of prescribed hours of reading the dictionary. Education in the past has largely ignored the play element. Children have been made to study history and geography with the promise of rewards in grades when they have finished, not by the inducement of the fun of learning them. If they know how to play at history and geography there would be no need for rewards. In childhood organized play does three very important things. It teaches leadership, co-operation, and the need of obeying rules. If you don't keep up the rules you are out. You can't "make up the rules as you go." There are certain regulations that have to'be obeyed or there is no game. In life there are always rules that can't be ignored. If a person fails to get an appreciation of the importance of rules in youth the way of life will be hard for him. All in all, play holds an important place in life. As well as "Lord, teach us to pray," there is need for the supplication, "Lord, teach us to play." "NEWS and PROGRESS" No. ECONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE AND SERVICE OF THE AMERICAN NEWSPAPER AND NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING From latest volume in Manhattan Library of Popular Economics, republished in serial form through courtesy of Bank of the Manhattan Company, New York. FROM NEWS LETTER TO OHN CAMPBELL, Postmaster of Boston, was i an unusual othcial.

His office was the natural center for the "freshest advices" of that great world lying outside of the little New Eng land town, as these were received by sailing boats or horse-drawn diligences. Being a kindly gossip, he desired to share his news with others. Therefore, he hit upon the idea of sending an occasional letter to the Governors of the New England colonies, in which he summarized the current news of the times. At first, his letters appear to have been sent as sealed communications, but presently he fame to realize that there could be no harm in leaving them unsealed in order that others might read them by the way. Each was literally a "news letter," and they came to be so much in demand that it is not surprising to find him deciding to issue them weekly in printed form for general circulation. Thus "The Boston News Letter," first published on Monday, April 24, 1704, became the pioneer of American newspapers, although it may be mentioned in passing that, on September 15, 1690, one Benjamin Harris, of Boston, published a single issue of a little sheet called "Publick Occurrences," which was promptly suppressed by the Governor. The "Boston News Letter," however,! was "published by authority," and was founded squarely upon the fundamental! principle or aisscmmaung news; put it also recognized a function of no less im portance that of co-operating in the eco nomic activities of its community. In the introductory announcement the editor made the following statement: This news-letter is to be continued weekly; and all Persons who have any Houses, Lands, Tenements, Farms, Ships, Vessels, Goods, Wares or Mer chandises, etc., to 1 : Sold or Lett: or Servants Runaway; or Goods Stoli or Lost, may have the same inserted at a Reasonable Rate; from Twelve Pence to Five Shillings, and not to exceed; Who may agree with Nicholas Boone for the same at his Shop next door to Major Davis's Apothecary in Boston, near the Old Meeting-House. This may be regarded as the first an nouncement in America that 'he news- wise safeguarding their financial future. In 1923, over $2,500,000, 000 worth of sales, including live stock, were handled through farm ers' organizations. This was al most one-quarter of the total busi ness of the industry. The speculative nature of farm ing has caused food prices to raise at a rate in excess of those of general commodities, but as agri culture becomes better organized, foodstuffs may be expected to be come more stabilized, because large unsold surpluses may be con served to meet demand. In the solving of marketing problems, agriculture is conspicu ously weak in comparison with other industries. It is only thru solution of these problems that stabilization of agricultural in come will be made possible.

The simplicity of life in the America of John Campbell s day stands out clearly in contrast against its present complexity and completeness. By the ODenine of the Twentieth Century, the railroad, the tele graph, the cable, the typewriter, the tele phone, the multiple press, the linotype, the stereocaster, the photograph and the half-tone plate, had given the newspaper a freedom from drudgery and delay which made possible its extraordinary progress in the past quarter of a century. To these facilities, in that time, have been added others, including the automobile, the air plane, the radio and the wire ana wireless transmission of pictures.

Why Not a Nation of Thinkers? Manufacturer. A REMARKABLE man died in this countv a short time ago. This man was not a "superman." He was just a plain everyday American citizen, with an abiding faith in humanity, and the deep est respect for American democ racy and freedom as guaranteed and protected by our constitution al form of government. He had a broad vision. He built up his business by helping others to build up their business. He knew that if his manufactured ar ticles were to have the greatest sale, consumers had to be able to buy and willing to buy. He could see that in order to sell a pump for irrigation purposes he nad to do a whole lot besides ouiia a pump, it was more neces sary at first for him to encourage the teaching of scientific agricul tural methods, so that farmers could use pumps and have the money with which to buy, than it was to build a pump factory. And so it was throughout his business career. He saw the value of building up the buying power of the people as the surest way to build up his own business. He could see that exorbitant taxes, radical legislation and dis turbing governmental policies were detrimental to the laboring man and business, and that the la boring man suffered most by any policy which crippled industry and destroyed employment. This man started with nothing but a clear vision and an under standing of basic principles which underlie both individual and na tional prosperity. When he died he was the head of the greatest business of its kind in the world, and his products were sold in every nation. The question will be asked "What has all this to do with my joo or my Dusinessr It has everything to do with your business or job, whatever it may be. You have the same brain to think with as the man men tioned, although you may not have the God-given insight into human nature which he had. But you can profit by the record which he left. It doesn't take great intelli gence, for the shoe merchant to see that he will sell more shoes if conditions are good, nor for the insurance agent to understand that prosperous people are better pros pects. Get over the idea that you can make prosperity for yourself alone, and realize that you depend upon the "other fellow" for your business. The United States is a world leader in many ways. For this reason, it should become a land of "thinkers." We shnnM tint Ka 2 Bank of the Manhattan Co., N. Y. Two centuries of American progress are reflected in the columns of the newspaper ization's common medium of communica tion, the modern newspaper, whose em- ciency has been so marvellously increased. Beginning as a collector and distributor of news from the other colonies and from distant lands, the American newspaperfirst contained little except accounts from the foreign press and occasional correspond ence. Its community was small and the members knew what their neighbors were doing. Therefore, little space was devoted to local affairs. In tact, practically ail the local news consisted of "paid notices," or advertisements. A merchant would an nounce the arrival of fresh goods from abroad, or n employer would warn others that his apprentice had run away, or that a slave had escaped or was for sale. Thus, nearly two centuries before advertising had come to be recognized as one of the greatest economic forces of modern life, newspaper advertising was looked upon simply as one form of news. (Next article, "What Is News?") '. at the mercy of political agitators and legislative buccaneers. The country editor should understand that an unsound piece of legisla tion or taxation which interferes with some industry three thousand miles away, may take an adver tisement of a local store out of his paper or create unemployment which will cut down his subscrip tion list. The local grocer may lose his business, because a un sound tariff policy destroys the market for local farm crops. The banker feels the effect immediate ly when any business is hurt, and it goes without saying that the day laborer is the first man to "get the ax" when business suffers. The lesson to be learned from this man who has passed on, is plain and simple. He lived his ife largely in the interest of the ; other fellow not from a purely charitable angle, but from the standpoint of "good business." As more of us follow his example, ( many business problems and world : controversies will disappear The Old Farm Has Changed. Milwaukee Journal. THOSE of us who can look back on boyhood on a farnij and that is a good many of us, re call most vividly the lack of com panionship. At the time, perhaps, it was the round of chores that we liked the least. For there was fun, and chores frequently interfered After hope had almost vanished, oil has been struck at Campbell, Nebraska. Here is shown the first paying well ' In the state. , The golden flood was' located by the new invention of A. J. P. Bertschy (lower photo) of Omaha.

In winter, the sled and skates, and a dog with a nose for game. How we enjoy living those days when we had to crack the ice in the pitcher to get water to wash our faces on cold mornings; and we boast, as becomes men whose pocketbooks have expanded with their girths, that this is the kind of hardening that makes successful men. But most of us will admit that what we needed more than anything else was a wider circle of friends. The farm youngster of today need not be lonely. The motor car has erased the lines between town and country. Yet just as im portant as the means of getting somewhere is the new spirit in the farmlands, the community of in terest that has grown up in recent years. For the boys and girls, this spirit finds expression in the "4-H clubs" that our departments of ag riculture have fostered. With their calves and pigs and samples of sewing and canning, the boys and girls meet in friendly rivalry at county and state fairs. Interesting stories could be told about how a boy's enthusiasm aroused by these clubs has led the father to ways of better farming. But even better than the business training these clubs afford the farmers of tomorrow is their in fluence for good citizenship. The four H's stand for "head, heart, hand and health," meaning there by the development of wholesome men and women with an interest in their country as well as in their means of livelihood. In all the talk about farm prob lems, the improvement in farm machinery, methods of marketing and electrification of the farm, it should not be overlooked that the most important question is the kind of men and women the farm is preparing for tomorrow. When Farmers Combine. State Market Agent. Combinations of farmers, operating through big pools and selling agen cies, are becoming strong factors for agricultural aid in many sections of the United States and Canada, says State Market Agent Spence. "They are Bimply applying the systems of large private business concerns to their own business instead of raising the products and turning them over to the middlemen." When these organizations are start ed right, have the right men to man age them, and then have control of enough volume, they are bound to be come powerful, says Mr. Spence. Take for illustration the Wheat Pool of Western Canada. It is but three years old yet it is the largest co-op- ertive organization of its kind in the world. It now has a membership of 125,000 farmers, who control 12,230, 000 of the 21,000,000 acres sown to vheat last year in the three prairie provinces Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. This organization han dles the sale of the greater part of the wheat produced in Canada, and Canada is now the largest exporter of wheat m the world. If this organization controlled but ten per cent of production it would soon go the way of many other weak co-operatives. Its overhead would be high and its price-fixing strength would be nil. But controlling such a vast volume its operating costs amount to but two-fifths of one cent per bushel. This is real cooperation. The strength of the organization lies in its stabilizing power. It does not permit large volumes to be rushed to markets to create gluts and lower ! rices. Canadians are Teal coopera tors. The principle is almost religion w ith them. Seventy Percent to Midlemen. These figures come from the U. S. Department of Agriculutre, brought out by a discussion of the onion busi ness in the Connecticut valley. The Department states that more than 70 per cent of the price paid by con sumers for the onion crop went to interests between the grower and the kitchens, and less than 30 per cent to the farmers who raised the onions. Wholesalers and Jobbers took 3 per ctnt, country dealers 8 per cent and retailers 64 per cent. There is very much wrong with a distributing sys tem that takes such a toll. It robs both producers and consumers. Supervision Change. W. L. Close has been designated by the Federal Department as supervisor of fruits, vegetables, etc., for Oregon and all state inspectors are requested to take up with him any matters per taining to Federal supervision of shipping-point inspection, which have been sent to F. E. Bailey to Spokane. Mr. Bailey is now located at Yakima. Mr. Close's headquarters are at 306 Fitzpatrick building, Portland, with the State Board of Horticulture. Installment Buying Amazing. The imagination can hardly grasp the immensity of installment buying which is operated in almost every city and hamlet in the United States. Figures given out state that 750 mil lion dollars are paid each month un der this system. FOR SALE. Italian prunes In suit cases, 40c. Add 85c for delivery, or can send C. O. D. Petite prunes 60c.
