ADVERTISING BATES GIVEN ON APPUCATION SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year Biz Mentha Three Mentha Single Copiaa $1.00 . 1.00 . .71 MORROW COUNTY'S OFFICIAL PAPER Foreign Ad-ertiaiaf Representative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Good American Doctrine. TO USE an expression of the day John R. McQuigg, nation al commander of the American Legion "Said a mouthful" recent ly when he pointed out at a meet ing of the Virginia state legion at Alexandria, the dangers which threaten the United States as the principal world creditor and the greater dangers we will face if we permit ourselves to be misled by misguided pacifists into neglecting the defensive machinery of the United States. Commander Mc Quigg said in part: "The United States is the rich est prize of the ages, the greatest inheritance since time began. It will be ours only so long as the world knows we are ready and prepared to defend it. World courts and similar tribunals can not do away with man's cupidity, nor quench a nation's thirst for power and dominion when that nation thinks itself strong enough to win. "The American Legion has no patience with those well meaning but misguided persons who, even now, are making strenuous efforts to palsy the arm of America and deprive us of the small defense we now have. They shut their eyes to the history of our country, and ignore all experience of the past. They apparently are willing and anxious to jeopardize all we have gained in the last century and a half, if only they are per mitted to attempt the creation of an impossible Utopia." Concluding he said, "The men who compose the legion know what war is. They have seen it at its worst, and they want no more of it if can be honorably avoided. But the legion recog nizes that controversies and quar rels between nations are almost certain to arise, and that mere ag reements not to have such ware have been to a large extent fu tile." Here is real sensible American docrrine. remarks the National Re public. Uncle Sam never has a chip on his shoulder and never will have until national sentiment changes tremendously from what it is at present. But adequate defense is not militarism but na tional c insurance. Every great American from George Washing ton down has recognized this fact and America must not be led from the traditional path by any mis- Dr.Frank Crane Says WE MUST LOVE ONE ANOTHER. THE only practical plan under which human beings can ex pect to live together in peace is the Golden Rule. We must love one another and do as we would be done by. This is not an ideal Sunday School precept, but it is a rule that has teeth and claws in it. Unless we obey it we shall suffer. And not one party, but all parties suffer. War has been demonstrated to be about as disastrous to the victor as to the vanquished. The successful allies in the recent great World War, such as Great Britain, Italy and France, are now almost as bad off as the unsuccessful group, consisting of Germany, Austria and so forth. War is not only cruel and ineffectual, but it does not pay. It pays human beings in the long run to cooperate and not to contend. As General Grant said, it is doubtful if any war was ever fought about an issue that could not have been better settled in some other way. The great war makers are egotism, stubbornness, hate and fear. Jesus told us long ago that the only method of getting along together was by love and trust. We have not yet learned that His precept was based upon common sense and was not an impractical command. Germany at this writing is reverting toward a reactionary government, as is Italy. England is in the throes of labor unrest. The ministry in France is maintaining itself with difficulty. Belgium is upset. Wherever hate and fear and contention rule there is upheav al and disaster. These things cannot be permanently cured by an increase in force on any side, but only by an increase of charity and the spirit of compromise. It takes a long while for human beings to learn .how to get on with each other. It is much easier to revolt and stand for our rights than patiently to seek a status quo. The main thing for a people to learn is that there can be no abiding peace that is not founded upon justice. The prophecy said in ancient times that righteousness and peace shall kiss each other. Until this is done there is no abiding harmony or progress. "NEWS and PROGRESS" No. ECONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE AND SERVICE OF THE AMERICAN NEWSPAPER AND NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING From latest volume in Manhattan Uhrary of Popular Economics, republished in serial form through courtesy of Bank of the Manhattan Company, New York. WHAT IS NEWS? EWS! What is it? It is the stir of life that marks the difference between a living world and a dead planet. It is the sound of civilization's machin ery in motion. It is the speed gauge of progress. It is the background for all thinking, all plan ning and all knowledge of human affairs. When fv paper leaves the presses imprinted with the news, it is an inert material no longer but an active force. Up to within the past few generations, exchange of reports has been chiefly by word of mouth. It was principally for this purpose that men gathered in coffee houses in the cities of Europe and America, and even today the gossip is reasonably sure of willing ears. But knowledge of modern happenings mainly depends upon the printed page. There is a constantly swelling volume of news, which grows with every increase in the range of human activities. The modern newspaper has been developed as the means for its transmission. Therefore, whatever other functions a newspaper may exercise advisory, educational, political, social or economic all are based upon its prime function of reporting the news. If the newspaper have value as a protector of popular rights, it is because it is able to keep before the people the actions of their officials as they occur and thus give the public an opportunity, when necessary, to protect its interests. Man is today living in an Age of News of which earlier generations never dreamed. He stands on a high mountain overlooking "The king doms of the world" and before him unrolls the immeasurable pano rama of human life. He sees it in its nobility and its meanness, its triumphs and its failures for all is life, and the honest mind cannot ignore truth in any form. Science lays its achievements at his feet and even the long-forgotten Past comes forth from its grave for his inspection through the labors of archeolocists all first in the form of news. To this end, thousands of trained observers, writers and editors are at his command whenever he makes a trifling investment at the news-stand. But news has another aspect. It is that great department of vital, vivid infor mation we call advertising. Advertising started as news. Here, for example, is a yellow,frayed copy of a pre-Revolutionary newspaper "printed by B. Franklin" and "Containing the Freshest Advices, Foreign and Domestic," and it cannot escape notice that six of its twelve columns are devoted to paid announcements. As in America's first newspaper John Camp bell's weekly letter these advertisements were largely the local news of the day. . It is certainly news that, as one adver tisement stares, "Elizabeth Ball, who was carried off by the Indians in the month of J une, 1756, from a place near Mr. Brown s mill in Conecocheague, desires to acquaint her parents that she is now in a convent in Montreal;" it is no less news that "a large guided sentimentalism which might easily be fatal to our future progress. Would the booze dragged from New York bay by revenue officers be designated as bay rum? Is the Boy to Blame? QAID the son to the father: "I would like a new aluminum finished roadster. I need three new suits of clothes, a new set of golf clubs, some new sport shoes, a couple of hats and a new fishing outfit to go on my vaca tion. sure, said tne lather, go down town and buy these things and charge them to me. The following month the bills came in together with a "few" others, which were necessary to round out the boy's equipment for his holiday. The father raised the roof with his complaints. .Natur ally he got no sympathy as the wise ones said it was his own fault for encouraging his family in such extravagance. Along comes an electoin and candidates for office or proponents assortment of looking glasses of most sorts, sizes and fashions" has been "imported in tne uragon, captain Mamet, and last ships from London, and is to be sold wholesale and retail by John Elliott at his looking glass store, the sign of the Bell and uooKing uiass, in v-nestnut Street, near the State House." Such announcements show that readers who paid for twelve small columns of news were willing that half of the space should be devoted to paid news of an advertising character. Otherwise, so astute a pub lisher as "B. Franklin" would not have produced such a paper. With the cominn of Independence, the colonies became the United States; popu lation and wealth increased, and the tiny "shoppes" of a primitive day finally gave way to larger retail estabushments. At the same time newspapers were growing in number, size and circulation and it was more and more realized that they were the natural clearing house for all information of a business nature. As advertisers began to employ larger space and display type, their announcements still retained the at of special measures tell us, as taxpayers, that they would like a few thousand dollars for this of fice, a million or two for a new commission, ten million or 100 million for some state enterprise, a few more motor cars for that bureau and dozens of extra jobs to pay political debts, not to men tion several hundred new laws to be passed by the state legislature. We say, "Sure, that's alright," and vote for the program. A year later the tax bill comes in and then we raise the roof about the increasing cost of government. Don't blame the boy, and don't blame the office holder too much, for the father is responsible for the actions of his children and his family expense, while we, as tax payers, are responsible for the men we elect to office and our public expense. " know my own limitations," says Governor Donahey of Ohio, in asserting he will not be a can didate for president. At last, a modest office-holder I Daugherty Again. HARRY M. DAUGHERTY, for mer Attorney-General of the United States, soon again will be the center of public interest in a familiar role. On September 7 he is scheduled to go on trial in Federal Court on a charge of conspiring with Col. Thomas W. Miller to defraud the government of "their good and honest services" when they "will fully and knowingly" authorized the transfer of $7,000,000 in cash and securities from the custody of the government to the Societe Suisse pour Valeurs de Metaux without carefully weighing and searching the merits of the Swiss corporation's claim. Further, it is alleged that Daugherty and Miller were actu ated by the hope of personal gain. The seven million dollars repre sents the sale of the stock of the American Metal company, a cor poration formerly controlled by Germans and taken over by the government after our entrance in the war. Daugherty's regime in public office was aired when the Teapot Dome scandal broke. Amazing stories of federal graft were given to the people. The country was shaken to its foundations. And now we are to hear more of appalling betrayal of public trust. According to the federal charges. The trial may prove to be one of the most famous in Am erican history. Don't Fan the Blaze. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE a few days ago called upon Am erican newspapers to refrain from publication of unfounded rumors concerning the country's relations 3 lb Hank 01 tlie tlanliattan Co., N. Y. Man today is living in an Age of News of which earlier generations never dreamed mosphere of news. They emphasized im mediate events and opportunities. No words were more constantly employed than "bargains" and "special sales,' while occasional "bargain counter riots" bore striking witness to the fact that they were read. 1 he buying public came to depend upon the advertising columns for informa tion concerning its material needs just as completely as it depended upon the news and editorial' columns of the newspaper for news and views of current events. Prompt knowledge of opportunities. such as only a newspaper affords, affects the plans of countless individual purchas ers. They pore over the advertising col umns each day. Without them the buyer and the advertiser would find themselves in much the same plight as were the mer chants of New York and their customers during the newspaper strike in that city a tew years ago. lhe local market placet were open but the doors might well have been closed. Next article, "The Modern Market Place.") - with foreign powers which, he said, were most cordial. Dissemination of reports not based on actual fact is dangerous, the president pointed out, particu larly when every agency should strive constantly to cement friend ship with foreign countries. Mr. Coolidge doesn't include the country press when he ad vises editors to treat much of the roreign news witn caution, ms statements were directed at the metropolitan editor who delights in spreading yarns which usually have no foundation. Mr. Coolidge's suggestion that the Golden Rule be followed in publication of news tending to re view our foreign relations, is a good one. Foreigners are just as sensitive as Americans. Oregon's Great Need. "OREGON capital for Oregon industries" that is the plea which the Oregon State Chamber ! of Commerce is broadcasting to the business men of the state. Industrial development from within is seen by the state-wide organization as one of Oregon's great needs. 'To this end, service to local industries is one of the initial steps every Oregon city is asked to consider in its industrial program. There is no discounting the val ue of outside capital and indus tries in this encouragement of productive industries at home, but rather a recognition that no more torcetul presentation can be made to new capital and new people to invest and locate in Oregon than a demonstration of our own faith by ourselves investing in what we have to offer. The tendency of Oregon busi ness men to prove their faith in the value of well-managed, local industries, utilizing farm products, Is becoming more evident in all parts of the state. Canneries, the linen mills, and other projects of fer evidence of this widespread progress. Impetus to the movement has recently been given by the action of the citizens of McMinnville and Yamhill county in their subscrip tion of $7500 to retain and enlarge a plant for the canning of poultry meat. Later a $20,000 corpora tion will be formed, according to the present plan. A complete and competent sur vey by Oregon cities and towns would, in the opinion of W, G. Ide, manager of the Oregon State chamber, disclose many similar opportunities for the profitable employment of capital in infant industries, thus preventing the departure of the thousands of dol lars that now daily leave the state for outside investment.

Then, this column is for you. Read It every week: THE Chicago Federation of Wom en's Organizations sponsored the building in Park Ridge, a Chicago suburb, of "Home Sweet Home." This house, beautiful and complete to the lart silken hanging and square of velvet carpet, was presented as the ideal American home. It was created so its builders say, from plans which ' represented the accumulated ideas of 50,000 capable women." Since being thrown open to the public it has been viewed by thousand? of people. THE General Federation of Wom en's Clubs represents not thous ands, out minions of home-making American women. It will hold its Bi-ennial Convention in 1928 south westward, in all probability in San Antonio, Texas. How about creating, in San Antonio, for 'he benefit of the world's greatest body of forward-look ing women, not the ideal, but the es sentially PRACTICAL AMERICAN HOME AND leave the "sweet" out of it. Plain HOME is good enough. Biggest word, save one, in the Filial, ! THERE is time, if the project is started this y'eui', for "growing" that American home. Much of it could be created by the handiwork of those interested ir, it. Modern craft nd art material of many kinds might be gathered to fun ish its comforts and adornment. There is time to show just what convenience and beauty the average woman may create with her own needle and paint brush. INSTEAD of carrying the line: dec orated by So-and-So Company" in its list of makers, there might more gloriously be this line: "Dec orated by the Women of San Antonio and the United States."

(American Home Syndicate) More Wheat Will Be Put In the Ground This Fall Oregon farmers expect to plant about 6.0 per cent more wheat this fr.ll than was planted a year ago, ac cording to reports received from some hundreds of growers, says F. L. Kent, statistician, U. S. Department of Ag riculture. It is estimated that 898,000 acres were Beeded to winter wheat in Oregon last fall, hence an increase of 6.0 per cent would bring the prospect ive acreage to be planted this fall, up to 9.5,000 acres. For the United States, farmers, through the "Intention to Plant" re ports, have indicated a prospective increase over last year of 14.4 per cent. Last fall plantings were est! mated at 39,540,000 acres. On this basis the prospective acreage for next year's harvest is 45,039,000 acres. It should be borne in mind that these "Intentions" will be more or less modified by weather conditions, Should an abnormally dry or an ab normally wet season prevail this fall. lhe acreage will no doubt be mater ially reduced from the indicated in tentions. Considering the acreage planted last fall, it does not seem probable that the most favorable con ditions for fall seeding would mater ially increase the acreage to be seed ed, over the indicated intentions. It should also be remembered that there is always more or less abandon ment of the fall seeded acreage, due largely to winter-killing. Winter loss on the Pacific Coatit is usually very iigm. umiwing tne year of the dis astrous freeze (fall of 1924) the Ore gon "abandonment" over a period of f ve years, averages 2.2 per cent, com pared to a United States five year average abandonment of 9.8 per cent. The 1926 abandonment was 1.0 per cent for Oregon and 4.6 per cent for the United States. An Associated Press release from Washington, D. C dated August 17, telative to the world's wheat supply for 1926, reads as follows: t "The world's wheat supply this year, outside of Russia and China, may be close to that of last year, the Department of Agriculture estimated today after compiling the latest fore casts of production. The demand, it is said, may be stronger than a vear ago because of lower stocks of old wheat, reduced supplies of rye and potatoes, and short wheat crops in the Orient. "Twenty-one Northern Hemisphere countries, producing last year 70.0 per cent of the world wheat crop, ex clusive of Russia and China, it is in dicated, will produce 2,351,000,000 bu shels of wheat, compared with 2,800, 000,000 a year ago. Reports indicate the ' crop of Russia may be slightly better than last year, while the crop of China is not expected to be so good." Mrs. Ida M.
