In response to warnings from the
Federal Reserve, banks withdrew
recently, $25,000,000 of call loans.
The Idea was "to discourage spec
ulation." That speculation keeps
big banks and their gigantic profits
alive, but that is another story.
When loans were called, the rate
moved from 6 to 9 per cent Banks
calling loans sacrificed 6 per cent
on $25,000,000 and made an addi
tional 3 per cent on about four bil
lions. Even a child on the farm could
understand that systematic usury
must be harmful. Even as base a
thing as a speculator, buying Amer
ican securities, should not be robbed
too systematically.
It Is probable that investigation
of the Federal Reserve Banks, and
its accidental of intentional promo
tion of bank profits, through usury,
will follow the latest Federal Re
serve action, responsible for a loss,
widely scattered, of three or more
billions in a few hours.
Why do not Stock Exchange men
protect themselves and their cus
tomers from financial tryanny. They
could establish a great bank, es
pecially for their own purposes.
Compelling brokers to make call
loans at that bank, on conservative
margins of security, at a fair inter
est rate, and dividing proflta among
stock exchange members, they
. might do something that the Fed
eral Reserve evidently cannot do.
Controlling a monopoly of call
loans, they could sell $1,000,000,000
worth of stock In an hour.
If a father to cure his children of
overeating, put arsenic In their food,
you would say, "Something wrong
with that father."
When h paternal Federal Reserve
Board, mistaking itself for the na
tional government, to cure what it
considers over - speculation, coins
thousands of Investors by forcing
usurious interest rates, you say,
Something wrong with that Fed
eral Reserve Board."
The board is unnecessarily excit
ed about four or live billion dollars
of brokers' loans.
Lcained finuncicis should realize
that there is money in this country
outside of banks' control.
Mr. Ecker, vice-president of the
Metropolitan Life Company, has
shown that the income ot American
wage earners Is sixty billions of
dollar a year. And they spend fif
teen billions less than they earn.
Those fifteen billions are three
times the total of brokers' loans. A
nation that has every year fifteen
billions of spending money might
borrow a third of its excess annual
wealth for Investment, or even for
speculation, without making crim
inal usury necessary.
Wall Street went to work last
week convinced that the world had
not quite come to an end, and even
a benevolent regulating Federal Re
serve might be endured.
Some for whom this is the begin
ning of the Spring lamb season, the
unhappy wiped-out minority that
tried the "faw down, go broke" ex
perience, will know better next
time. Others will know better la
tor.
Invest within your means, in
America, and you get rich. Gamble
here or anywhere, and gambling
gets you.
Lady De Bathe died recently at
Monto Carlo, In her seventy-seventh
year. As Mrs. Langtry, the Jersey
Lily, she was known wherever Eng
lish is spoken. Her reputation was
due largely to her marvelous com
plexion, pink and white, NATURAL
colors. Such complexions have gone
out. Even little girls are daubed
and plastered.
Up above, (he Jersey Lily has
doubtless renewed acquaintance
with Albert Edward, who admired
her when he was Prince of Wales.
Will he look natural, flitting about
with white wings and a harp? Prob
ably not. And how painful It must
be for a sovereign or a famous beau

Teeth are decidedly a permanent
part of your anatomy! The skin
and Its cells change and with the
constant process of rebuilding we
are practically re-made every few
years.
But after baby teeth have gone
the permanent set comes; and after
that, "your teeth are your teeth, all
your life" unless by your neglect
you lose them.
The tooth-buds of the infant de
velop prenatally, many months, In
fact, before the child is born. And
because of this development the ex
pectant mother must begin to build
up in her own body the necessary
lements required by the child.
Calcium, which is richly present
in milk, Is one of the most import
ant ingredients for the mother to
introduce into her own system, for
calcium is an actual part of the
teeth. If in the last three months
that the mother is carrying her ba
by she does not make up the ter
rific drain made upon her own sys
tem for the development of the
Ueth and bones of the unborn child,
her own bones will become soft
thru the absorption of the lime
salts from them.
After the child is born its milk
teeth must be carefully attended to,
kept scrupulously clean by brushing
with a tiny brush and a little milk
of magnesia as early as the first
two teeth appear. On the care and
the resultant health of these milk
teeth depend the strength of the
permanent teeth later on.
Lime water is often added to the
baby's milk on the physician's ad
vice. The best and simplest way to
care for the new baby's gums is to
dip a line piece of sterilized gauze in
a little boric acid solution and wash
out the Inside of the baby's mouth.
One noted medical authority sug
gests that mixing calcium (precipi
tated chalk) with common salt in
the salt shaker will help to insure
both child and adult of the required
amount of calcium or lime.
The contour of the teeth is most
important, too, to mouth beauty. So
much so, in fact, that I cannot ad
vise you too strongly never to per
mit your baby to form the habit of
sucking its thumb, or to allow paci
fiers or a too long use of the nurs
ing bottle. Any defect can be cor
ected in early life when bones and
sinews are soft and plastic. When

in orthodontry can advise you sane

of correction.

delicate and sensitive, and their

The best artificial lighting system
is that nearest to ordinary daylight.
The light should come over the left

Faulty vision is sometimes due
to eye disease, but is also often due
to defects of the eyes which pre

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is in
duced by a condition where the dis
tance from the front to the back of
the eye ball Is too long. This causes
distant objects to be blurred, and
discomfort, headaches and eye
strain are experienced. Hyperopia,
or farsightedness, is induced by a
condition where the distance from
the front to back of the eyeball Is
too short. This causes close ob
jects to appear- blurred, which In
turn brings about eyestrain.
Astigmatism is Induced by a con
dition where the rays of light fall
ing upon different parts of the eye
are not focussed at the same point,
with the result that objects are in
distinct and eyesight is impaired.
Myopia, Hyperopia and Astigma

D. B. Stalter states that he ex
perienced just three days of real
winter weather this season, and
that was while he was at Seaside,
where the snow fell on three days,
and then disappeared over night
Mr. Stalter has been absent from
Heppner for about three months,
putting in his time at Portland, Sea
side and Tillamook. He returned to
Heppner Tuesday morning, and cer
tainly shows that he wintered well.
While the cold snap was pretty
hard on some of the sheepmen, and
much work was required in caring
for both sheep and lambs, the flock
masters have pulled through , in
good shape. Orain Wright, of
Wright Bios., Rhea creek, who was
in town for a short time on Mon
day, says that while they had their
share of the hard work, spring has
opened up nicely out that way,
grass getting green on the hills, and
all is moving along fine now.
Mrs. Ellen Buseick returned home
on Tuesday morning from Portland.
Since her trip to Honolulu last fall,
Mrs. Buseick, with her sister, Mrs.
E. F. Day, spent a couple of months
at Los Angeles, enjoying the mild
winter weather of that part of Cal
ifornia, and but recently returned
to the home of Mrs. Day in Portland.
Pat Connell, Spring Hollow sheep
man, was looking after business
matters in this city on Tuesday. He
is glad that winter is over with
spring opening up so nicely out his
way.
