Mrs. George Moore has returned
home from a visit in the east of some
six weeks. She was called to Mis
souri to help in settling up estate
matters, and took advantage of the
time in visiting her old home in that
state which is some 60 miles from

located in Kansas and Nebraska.
While it rained almost constantly

layed due to the fact that he has been
used as handy man while other mem
bers of the force were vacationing.
He had a try at practically every
job in the outfit, he reports, and
while his education was greatly en.

own work suffered, and he has had a
hard time catching up. He returned
to Bend Sunday.

Mrs. Frances Rood motored to Port
land on Sunday for a visit with her
parents who reside in that city,

to natural laws and not legislation.
One might well go a step farther and
assert that most of tne iarmers nave
seen this from the first. Word comes
from the southwest that a meeting of
farmers recently passed a resolution
to the effect that it didn't want to
hecr anv more political speeches on
the tilieht of agriculture, evidently
this organization believes that some
thing else is needed than more or less
visionary plans to lift tne tarmer by
his own bootstraps.
All sorts of theories have been pro
pounded, as cures for the ills of the
farmer and all sorts of figures have
been produced to show what is the
matter with him. Most of these have
been erroneous, as was a recent arith
metical exhibit tending to show how
much less the farmers' dollar will buy
than the dollar of the fellow in town
a set of figures which the Secretary
of Agriculture branded as an absurd
ity. In commenting on the situation
of the farmer and the tendency of tar
iff reformers and others to quote their
own statistics to suit thair own pur
poses, Mr. Jardine wisely said:
'Since 11 agriculture nas Deen
going through a slow but steady pro
cess of recovery. The index of pur
chasing power of farm products haB
risen by an average of five points per
year from its low point of b in laJl
It is true that cotton has slumped in
price this fall, but it is equally true
that other products of regional im
portance enjoy a favorable price po
sition. In August, the latest month
for which our figures are complete,
such leading products as hogs, pota
toes, butter and wool had a unit pur
chasing power even above the pre
war parity of exchange.
"Of course, no informed man will
argue from this that the difficulties of
farmers are ended nor that there are
not yet real agricultural problems to
be solved. On the other hand, no
real progress can be made toward re
storing full argicultural prosperity
if such important matters as tariff
protection or other issues of nation
al policy are to be settled on the ba
sis of incorrect and misleading statis
tical evdience."

CHILDREN'S FARM HOME NEWS.
The report of the Children's Farm
Home which was given by the office
secretary, Mrs. Madge J. Mears, at the
state W. C. T. U. convention held in

fine work has been done during the
past year. The acreage is all pledged
and $7,484.42 in the treasury ready
for payment. The full amount will be
collected by the time the notes are

boys and girls, to the number of 115

Decmber 1, making room for twenty
boys. Other counties are planning

have already started their campaigns

ties, Douglas, Josephine, Jackson and
Klamath are uniting for one from
that section.
At the Farm Home Board meeting
on October 16th, it was decided to
erect the next cottage, built outside

or of Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh, the
woman who has done such splendid
work in establishing the Home. The
Farm Home Board are confident that
the Deople of the Btate will be pleased
