Foreign Advertising Representative AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION THE FIRE SITUATION. MORROW COUNTY is suffering an untold loss from fires now raging in the forests within her boundaries. Hundreds of acres of timberlands have already been cov ered and the end is yet uncertain. Officials in charge of fighting oper ations declare that the situation is much worse than people on the outside have any idea. It is possi ble that fires now going will burn until the rainy saesou in the fall if the county does not receive a good general soaking before. No means of checking the spread of the flames is being spared by the forest officials, as is evidenced by the hundreds of men, loads of sup plies, tractors and airplane that have gone on the job this week. But the task of holding the fires is tremendous. When the big electric al storm struck Thursday humidity was at a very low point, continuing low Friday and Saturday. Every thing within the forest was as dry as tinder and nearly everywhere the lightning struck fires were started, some of which grew to large proportions in a very few hours. The humidity began to rise Sunday and fighting conditions be came more favorable, but with the start already gained by the fires it seemed almost hopeless that enough men could be put on in time to pre vent their spreading over a much larger area. Officials are appreciative of the cooperation received on every hand by local people who have helped a lot in the fighting. True, this spirit of cooperation is com mendable, and it cannot be carried too far. Foresters are but helping to protect our resources. Even though they are working for the government, and hence are servants of the people, they cannot be ex pected to perform miracles, and it is to the interests of everyone in the county to help them in every way possible. In the final analysis, our forests in Morrow county are probably our most valuable resource. From lum bering they may not bring such a great sum, but as a watershed and range protection, they are of untold benefit So, while much of the area burnt over may be scrub and second growth timber the damage to range and watershed is tremendous, and it behooves all of us to aid in forest protection if the future prosperity of the county is to be insured. TRAGEDY. CARRANZA, good will flyer, has passed to his reward. And in the midst of mourning for the brave flyer, citizens of both Mexico and the United States were shocked by the news of the assassination of General Obregon. Mexico has lost two of its finest, two great souls whose lives were an inspiration and an incentive to noble thoughts and deeds. The honors paid to Carranza in New York were impressive and beautiful. While airplanes cruised the skies overhead, a long, solemn funeral procession marched the streets. Thousands of American military men marched with slow, measured tread in tribute to the great aviator, while many more thousands watched, hats in hand, eyes dimmed with tears.

America and Mexico have wept together over the tragic deaths of Carranza and Obregon. The tears of a common grief have brought, we believe, Mexico and America closer to each other than they have ever been. Carranza's good-will flight was a beautiful tribute to this country, a magnificent gesture of international friendship. His untimely death has caused great sorrow; he shall be en shrined forever in our hearts and in the hearts of his countrymen. FKOM FARM TO CITY. PvISCUSSION continues on what - many consider a major national problem the migration from frams to cities of experienced farmers. Somo hold that eventually the food supply will be considerably reduced because of this migration, and that this will cause greatly Increased prices and perhaps endanger the welfare of the people. May we quiet these alarmists by pointing out that while the move ment from farms to cities still con tinues, it has, according to recent statistics, considerably abated? On the other hand the number of persons leaving the cities for the farms is constantly increasing. In other words, the exodus from farms to cities may cease to be a matter of great concern. No matter what rumors may float about, ac tual figures show that the tendency of the people to move away from the farm is decreasing rather than increasing. It is true that many experienced farmers go to cities in the quest for easier means of earning money, or to give their children the benefit of educational facilities of the metro politan centers. However, there has been so much improvement in the educational and recreational facilities of small towns and farm districts that already the movement to large municipalities is IhmJmy Btlpnl IktB&tm International Sunday School Lesson for Angntt 5. PAUL IN A PAGAN COUNTRY. Acts 14:18-20 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D., Associate General Secretary of the World's Sunday School Association. Mighty purpose to continue his ministry possessed Paul. He was not a quitter as John Mark had been at Perga. This young man might not have faced up to trouble as Paul and Barnabas did at Icon ium. Being driven out of any town did not cause these missionaries to say: "We have reason enough now to hurry back to Antioch and safe ty." Rather, they went forward to Lystra and sought opportunities of telling the people who would listen about the long expected Messiah who had come. The usual approach in the differ ent cities was through the syna gogue services but none appears to have been established at Lystra. Meetings were accordingly held in the open, wherever a group could be assembled. Among the listeners there was one who heard Paul's words with particular eagerness. He had been a cripple from birth and was amazed to hear that by spiritual power through One, call ed Jesus Christ, fullness of strength could come, and he would be just like others in ability to go about on his feet. As he heard he began to believe. That faith manifested itself in a changed countenance, which when Paul noted, encouraged the preach er to command in His name, "Stand upright on thy feet" Instantly the cripple "leaped up and walked." Faith found its expression in obe dience. The throng standing about recog nized that a wondrous miracle hau been wrought in their very pres ence. The healed man was a well- Family WHAT'S THIS?

The solution of the problem lies in making farm life more Interesting. REAL FARM ADVANCEMENT. THE farmer is just entering the most progressive era in modern agricultural history. The revolu tionizing influence that will give him a practical way to increase his effi ciency and prosperity is farm elec trification. This development is still In its In fancy, but its success is indicated. Speaking of what it will mean to rural life Matthew S. Sloan, presi dent of the Brooklyn Edison com pany, said recently: "As electricity has taken the back-breaking drud gery out of factory work and great ly increased factory production, at lowered unit cost, so it is taking the toil, the muscle work, out of farm ing and reducing cost of crop pro duction. "That is one of the remaining frontiers which electricity is break ing down, and I do not think of any one piece of work ahead of the electric industry which is more im portant in its social and economic implications. My personal belief is that farm electrification will con tribute as much to farm relief as collective marketing-or any scheme of government aid which could pos sibly be adopted perhaps a great deal more. "It is a far cry from an old-fashioned farm with its endless drud gery to a modern farm with electric service with an electric range, wa ter pumped by electricity, home and barns and outbuildings electrically lighted, electric hay hoists, milking machines, electric refrigeration for general utility purposes. All that electricity has done for the city home and for the factory it is com ing to do for the farm and the farm home." General farm electrification means more real farm advancement on a sound economic and progress ive basis. "Grace, why did you refuse him?" "Well, Gertie, he said he'd die for me and I'm curious." known character, always to be seen in the market place as a beggar, because he was a life-long cripple. Whether always recognized or not there is a religious sense in each. The Lystrians had a pantheon of gods, such as are described in both Greek and Roman mythology. At once the people, aware of the su perhuman event that had just taken place, shouted in their agreement that their gods were actually and actively in their midst in the per sons of Paul and Barnabas. They called Barnabas Jupiter their chief god either because Barnabas was the better built man, for we know that Paul was inferior in appear ance, or because Paul as spokesman could not be thought of as the lead ing personage, so he was styled Mercury the messenger. Credit must be given to the local priests for their quick action in bringing garlands for decorations and oxen for a worth-while sacrifice to these visiting deities. Here was Paul's chance to stay a while in popular favor and then turn that situation to advantage in carrying on his mission. Rather, he sought at once to assure the people that he and Barnabas were just plain hu mans, such as they were, and to gether they needed the help of this crucified and risen Nazarene. In deed, the occasion was well used to proclaim the Gospel again. Jealous Jews came from Antioch in Pisidia and Inconium, places from which Paul had recently been driven out to stir up the Lystrians against these men to whom sac rifice had nearly been offered. A mob was soon incited to stone Paul, who was then dragged outside the city, where he was left as dead. As the recent converts stood about, Paul by another miracle rose up in full strength. The city was quietly entered and the next morning both Paul and Barnabas went forward on their God-called mission. ByDunkle Sr. $mvk (Eran? agH: THE BEST CONDITIONS FOR WORK I suppose every writing man or any successful man is constantly In receipt of letters asking him about his personal habits. The correspondents all want to know under what conditions he does his work best . They even Inquire as to what he eats and what kind of clothes he wears. One of these correspondents once wrote to Bill Nye, asking what clothes he wore and how he dressed. He answered, "In the morn ing I wear morning dress and in the evening I wear evening dress and at night a night dress." About the best rule for doing your best work is to find those conditions that suit you best, wherein the brain functions most effectively. What these conditions are varies in the case of differ ent people. Elie Metchinkoff, the little Russian Jew who became one of the famous "microbe hunters" and discovered that In the human body are cells hostile to disease microbes, said he could always carry on his experiments best when pretty girls were close by. In your case, however, this kind of surroundings might have a disturbing effect Paul Ehrlich, another experimenter, used to have the grlndorgan musicians play dance music outside of the laboratory. He said that his best Ideas came when he heard gay music like that Dickens always had to have the same kind of slips of paper, blue ink and a quill pen when he wrote. Stephen Foster, an American song writer, composed his mel odies In a silent room with heavy carpets and draperies. Newspaper men, used to the ceaseless noise of typewriters and the bustle of a copy room, sometimes find they can not work so well where all is quiet Mark Twain used to write his best stuff lying in bed wearing an old-fashioned night gown. Frank B. Stockton produced his fa mous "Rudder Grange," dictating while he lay in a hammock and sipped lemonade. Hazlitt, the essayist, spoke enthusiastically about the benefits of a brisk outdoor walk. Many other people cannot think while walk ing. Schubert scratched off some of his best songs at odd moments. One of his famous pieces was jotted down on the back of a bill of fare of a beer garden while he waited for a friend. So the best thing to do is to not to try to imitate somebody else, but to find the time when your own thoughts flow with the greatest ease and then work hard. Arthur Brisbane A Vanished Bugaboo. Some Real Calvinists. Jailers and Criminals. The Talking Movies. Dread of big business fades. Raskob, financial head of the four billion dollar General Motors com pany, is Democratic National Chair man. Owen D. Young, chairman of the Board of the General Electric Company, one of the biggest cor porations in America, is asked to run for Governor by Democrats In New York. William Jennings Bryan, where he dwells in bliss, doubtless shud ders at all this. But these are prac tical days; big business is practical, and it is well to recognize things as they are. Some Calvinists, it seems, are still Calvinists like old John. Queen Wilhelmlna, of Holland, will not at tend the Olympic games. Calvinists in Holland are urged to stay away from what stern preachers call a carnival of the flesh." Dutch Calvinists say the Olympic games turn men away from Gol gotha to Greco-Roman paganism. A majority of human beings have abandoned the John Calvin theory, which included the burning alive of Dr. Servetus on slight provacation, believing that the good Lord wants people to enjoy themselves occa sionally. Crime organization seems to reach almost everywhere. One Sun day morning two dangerous man- killing gunmen escaped from Sing Sing Prison. The same morning two Sing Sing Prison guards were arrested ac cused of blackmailing motorists on the highway. No wonder prisoners escape when the jailers by night are highway blackmailers by day.

Wonderful invention, time and labor saving. Dr. Ira S. Wile says the popula tion Is "growing older." It lives longer, the birth rate Is lower. But old people, he says, are no longer proud of their age and little rever ence is paid tl. Today the number of those past fifty is fifty per cent greater than in 1870. Age is nothing to be proud of, since we grow old In spite of our selves. But to be hard at work when you are old, and EFFICIENTLY at work, It something. Young ladles that "don't seem to get any proposals" will marvel on hearing that our Peggy Joyce is about to be married again. This will be her fifth husband and her second nobleman.

Happy No. S, If everything goes By smoothly, will be Lord Northesk, whose wife, formerly Miss Jessica Brown, is now divorcing him. How does she do it?" young la dies ask. How did Helen of Troy do it or Cleopatra? Miss Joyce, it is said, has a cer tain dash and swing in a night club that electrify the atmosphere. There are many "live ones in night clubs. Oregon Industrograms By DAN C. FREEMAN Here's a little romance of a Pa cific Northwest industry, illustrat ing the fun of winning and losing in Opportunity Game! For four teen years of his study, experimen tation and perfecting a product J Buxman contrived a formula for which he received, It is understood, the sum of $100,000. It is the for mula for a fruit concentrate. Mr. Buxman sold his Invention and now Is at his ease, observing the world going by. The air mail has done much al ready to help manufacturing of wearables in Orgeon. Not many years ago we were told we were too far from the great style centers to become a factor in the wearables market. We on the Pacific Coast get our ideas of the trend of styles from the same sources that are depended upon by the Atlantic seaboard man ufacturers and distributors. Preju dice that once existed against Coast institutions looked upon in New York virtually as no man's land has been removed to a large ex tent The air mail brings patterns and orders from New York in 43 hours. Train mail takes five days. The psychology of the distributors is that Oregon now is much closer to them. Clothing, knitted outer wear and many items reach the At lantic seaboard in twenty-one days by water and at low cost Oregon clothing is sold In every U. S. city of five thousand popula tion. More than 150,000 women's coats go out of Oregon plants to the best known stores In the coun try. Concentration of this industry in the Pacific northwest gives a de cided advantage to manufacturers. The metropolis is the second pri mary wool market In the United States, and with the continued ex pansion of the cutting-up part of the industry the Northwest wool products will be a great factor In the national markets. A process has been invented for using Bakollte in the making of artificial teeth plates. Bakollte, be ing practically unbreakable, is taste less and not affected by moisture or temperature, should prove a very important and practical departure In the denture industry.

They remain on the line permanently, can be moved along to the desired position. The clothes are snapped into the pin and taken down, leaving the pin on the line Instead of having to hold them In the hands, the mounth, in the apron pockets, and losing them in the grass.
