A NUMBER of men of this com munity were in Portland the past 'week and heard the represent atives of the national farm board explain how it is planned to make the big organization function. Our people heard at least one important thing that the board will not make loans to individual farmers; the re lief is not planned to come in this manner at all. In Monday's Ore gonian the work of the board is set out quite clearly in an editorial en titled "Big Cooperatives are Need ed." We present it here, believing it gives a fair understanding of the matter. "When Charles S. Wilson, as a member of the federal farm board, told representatives of Oregon co operatives that they must get to gether in co-operative marketing as sociations in order to get help from the board, he in effect told them that the board exists to help the farmers to help themselves in fol lowing the plan laid down in the agricultural marketing; act Enact ment of that law was long delayed by men who insisted on some form of direct relief in the form of an equalization fee or a debenture. The only gift provided in the law is the appropriation for aid in organizing co-operatives, in education on farm problems, in information on market conditions, also for the expenses of the board itself. Financial aid will take the form of secured loans, but these will be made only to large co-operatives, national or at least regional in scope, organized on the plan laid down in the law and elab orated by the board. "Oregon has many co-operatives, some of them strong and well man aged, but they are too small to fit into the board's plan. It does not make loans to local or district co operatives. It deals with national co-operatives, each dealing with a certain group of commodities and each embracing all local or district co-operatives handling the same products. By this means only can the farmers gain the full benefit of co-operation and of the marketing act. Production on the farm can not be practiced on the great scale common to manufacturing indus tries; marketing can and must be practiced on that scale in order that farmers may effect the economy in distribution that will secure for them much more than the one-third of the consumer's dollar which they now receive. With the financial aid of the board they can have as much power as the sales department of a great industrial. Good work has been done, princi pally with the aid of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, in laying the foundation in Oregon for the kind of co-operative which the board recommends, but there are too many small, disconnected units, which lack capital to store and hold crops and lack the volume of prod uct necessary to influence the mar ket. Mr. Wilson's address is prac tically a summons to a get-together movement that will end in establish ment of a Pacific northwest associa tion for each class of product- grain, dairy products, fruit and veg etables or at least an all-Oregon association. Into this regional co operative should be gathered all the local and district co-operatives, and it should be a unit in a national corporation, through which loans and aid in organizing will be ob tained. "The age of small things in farm marketing is past; the age of big things has come, and it summons International Sunday School Lesson for December 1 THE CHRISTIAN HOME XBT A MOD. EBN WOKLD Luke 2:40-52 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D.D. The HOME is the basic institu tion in the life of the world. It nat urally comes before the state or the church. Rooming house and eating out, which is part of the trend of the times, is not upbuilding the home. Problems that arise from discord and divorce make the song "Home, Sweet Home," a parody. No matter how modern may be the world the necessity for the old fash ioned home continues. Therein was the trinity: father, mother and child or children. The home was God-established, both In the very nature of our being and also In His enact ments. As the truths apply vitally to our daily living and future am bitions, special attention should be given to the carefully selected pas sages of Scripture. They are Deut eronomy 6:3-9; Matthew 19:3-9; Luke 2:40-52; 24:28-32; Ephesians 6: 1-9; II Timothy 1:3-5; 3:14-15. No people has honored the home more than the Hebrews. The first Bible selection calls attention to the instruction that God g;ave about writing the Scripture on the door posts of the home and teaching it to th children within It the farmers to learn to do things in a big way. They will be free to practice their individualism in pro duction on their farms, but it is necessary that they sacrifice some of that right in order to benefit by co-operation on the farm board's plan. As a co-operative is managed by its members free from govern ment dictation, it is organized indi vidualism. If some of the plans of direct relief had been adopted by congress, the farmers would have been under the rule of a vast bu reaucracy having an army of in spectors and agents. The board does not come to feed them pap; it comes to give them help, as one man helps another." THANKSGIVING DAY. THANKSGIVING DAY no longer carries, to most Americans, the historical and spiritual significance which it had for the people of New England for nearly three centuries. In a considerable section of the country, however, especially in the smaller communities, it remains a holy day consecrated to the memory of the courageous little band of pil grims who first established It as an annual memorial of their deliver ance from pestilence and famine. It is the oldest of all American hol idays; it had been celebrated for a hundred and fifty years before the Fourth of July acquired signifi cance. In the New England of com paratively a few years ago it was held in wider observance than even Christmas. It was the day for fam ily reunions, when the sons and daughters with their wives and hus bands and children came "home." Those Thanksgiving days at "Grandma's house!" How they live in the memory of every Yankee boy and girl! The services at the church were among the few that the children really enjoyed, for the long sermon was mercifully cut short and the hymns were songs of praise Instead of the dirge-like psalms which bored the infant mind to dis traction. And then Thanksgiving Dinner! Fittingly, because it is America's own, the turkey was then as now the crowning glory of the feast, with its twin Yankee comestible, cranberry sauce. But turkey alone does not make a genuine old-fashioned Thanksgiving dinner. There are home-made bread and cake be sides the profusion of vegetables and jellies and preserves; there were "fried-cakes," of the sort the Dutch called crullers and the Yan kee doughnuts. And there was pie. Pumpkin pie, mince pie, apple pie, custard pie, cranberry pie, magnifi cent specimens of the three great species of pie, open-faced, cross-bar red and kivered." No wonder the New England peo ple are a hardy lot! Any child who survived an annual succession of Thanksgiving dinners and lived to grow up was made of tough fiber. MCTTERINGS AND RUMBLINGS HEARD IN POLITICS. La Grande District News TT IS EVIDENT that there 1s going 1 to be some activity in the repub lican primaries at least by May. When Charley Hall announced a few days ago that he was going to be a candidate for gvernor it made sure of at least three candidates. Mr. Bennett, state senator from Multnomah county announced his intentions following the last legis lative session. While Governor Pat terson has not officially announced his desire to succeed himself it is generally accepted that he soon will. Several weeks ago there was con siderable activity in democratic circles. Ex-Governor Pierce's name was mentioned from several sec tions of the state, also a prominent democratic leader of The Dalles, Miss Gavin, and Bert Haney of Portland. There has been a calm politically speaking recently, that is expected to crystalize into some thing tangible along about the noli day period. FINANCING THE SCHOOLS. Ontario Argus BECAUSE state functions like Topsy, "just growed," we have the horrible mess of confusion and difficulty over the levying and col lection of school taxes. The state, the county and the district board each do a part of the job of levying and collecting the necessary funds to pay for one job. If anyone can tell, we wish they would present the reason for the interposition of three taxing bodies between the taxpayer Jesus, the boy, was a product of such a Hebrew home. The Bible rolls were his reading book and he had been faithfully instructed in their content. At the age of twelve this well trained lad was taken with Joseph and Mary from Nazareth to Jerusalem that he might Join in the Feast of Passover. Read the story in Luke for all the Interesting in cidents. He had learned well during the growing years at Nazareth and understood the fulfillment that the prophecies called for. He became engrossed in listening to those in the Temple who were versed in such matters and soon began to ask most Intelligent questions. He was so absorbed that he failed to note the departure of the caravan for Naz areth. But at the call "Come home," Jesus went and the record of the following years in the Nazareth home is perfection: "and he was subject unto them. And Jesus ad vanced in wisdom and stature, and In favor with God and man." The Golden text Is timely: "Honor thy father and mother." Eph. 6:8. Prayer and thanksgiving to God should be features In every modern home, even as was the way in the Emmaus home, to which Jesus walked with two disciples on the day of His resurrection. Problems are granted to meet dally conditions as they arise.

In fact it seems now that middle age Is the critical period for men. They are found dead in the bath tub, at the steering-wheel, on the golf links, at the desk and the newspaper diagnosis is usually "heart-disease." It is true that the heart does more work than any other unit within the human being. It lifts from ten to eighteen pounds of blood seventy-two times a minute; multiply; and that by sixty to give you the pounds lifted per hour by the heart I think it is something over 77,000! Think of a day a week a month a year a life time! The power of this heart is simply staggering to belief. Then, when the body is in action when exercising, or indulging in field sports, the muscular pressure and the schools? A few of the questions we would enjoy having answered Include these: Why is a school district? Are the children educated for the district? Is education one of the functions of a county? What is education for anyway? Who made the compulsory school laws? The last question as we think of it, answers several of the others. Since the legislature, a state body, representing all the people of the state, in its wisdom determined that the foundations of the state can only be preserved through an edu cated citizenship, it should on a statewide basis provide for the maintenance and support of educa PINKY DINKY reason enough By TERRY GILKISON F7 . , ,-- j? .mxz I get J HAVEAgTE CAM .

HEPPNER, OREGON, - FfcJMDOf - i i ibi on the blood-vessels is doubled trebled and the labor of the heart increased In exact proportion. The heart is actually made, stronger and more efficient by wholesome exer cise in work or play. Just why should this wonderful organ be the first to fail, at an age when It should be at its best? The answer Is, the heart is pois oned from within. Strangely enough by food food useful, necessary food! Eaten at improper hours, in gluttonous quantity. The body is stuffed with heavy proteins at hours when their digestion is impossible. I still maintain that the six o'clock dinner-debauch Is killing more of our middle-aged men than cancer! The heart cannot obtain Its own proper nourishment from a torrent of undigested proteins within the blood-stream from which it must be sustained. The six o'clock dinner is an as sassin that creeps upon its happy victim by stealth and gets him ul timately. Our pioneers, who knew more than we do, died of old age. Mush and milk for supper is a good prescription mighty good. tion. But the legislature has not done so and the schools must be opera ted. So it would seem that a com mon sense interpretation of the laws relating to school levies should be adopted and when service is requir ed and given by the school districts that the county superintendents and county court see that the proper levy is made. The schools have to be operated, the costs have to be met regardless of by what body they are determined, the district board, the county court, or the state tax commission. Neither the county court nor the school boards are to blame for the situation in which they find them selves, so some accommodation should be arrived at until the legis lature can be appealed to for relief.

THERE are a good many people in the United States who won't have as much money to spend for the next few months as they had before they lost their savings In Wall! Street That is bound to affect busi ness in many lines, though bankers, business men, economists and statesmen agree that there is noth ing wrong with the business struc ture of the nation. Probably the net effect of the slump In the stock market will be no more serious than was the collapse of the Florida land boom three years ago. The greatest danger is that people will think there is danger, and so curtail their normal buying. It is for the purpose of forestalling any slump in public confidence that President Hoover called the busi ness leaders of America into con ference, in order that a true picture of the nation's economic condition can be presented to everybody. Facts already developed indicate clearly that there Is nothing to fear. On the contrary, this is a good time to spend money. There is plenty of money available for any useful, productive purpose. And in many lines, commodities are cheap er now than they have been for some time past, cheaper than some of them are likely to be a few months hence. Uncle Si Tlnklepaugh says he's noticed that if he lives through Thanksgiving he always lives thru the rest of the year. S. G. McMillan was up from his home at Lexington for a short time Monday forenoon. He states that It did not rain very much at Lexing ton on Sunday afternoon and night, and the ground is still greatly lack ing in moisture. It may arrive soon, however, if present indications hold good. Honey bees, like humans, do not like winter moving, says the Ore gon Experiment station. Unless they are moved in early fall, it is best to delay the work until March or later.

Then each week or each two weeks as necessary, take down one pair of curtains that are beginning to look soiled, and put up the extra pair instead. Wash the soiled pair, and have them ready to put up at another window the next week, or the second week after as necessity indicates so that an other soiled pair may be washed. Thus you always have clean cur tains, you never have more than one pair to wash at a time, and you don't have that ugly spectacle of a curtainless house for three or four days while the curtains are launder ing. The only hitch in this plan is that your windows may not all be the same length. In this case you would have to have all the curtains made for the longest window, and then when they were used on the shorter windows you could turn over an extra fold and baste it at the top. Or, you could have two extra pairs, one for the short windows and one for the longer ones. Either way would work out satisfactorily. HUMORETTES HEH! HEH! A boy on his way to school ate too many green apples. As he took his seat the teacher asked him to name the present season. The boy arose in spite of the pain In his stomach. "I'm sure it's not the apple sea son," he said, timidly. "How do you know that?" Inquir ed the instructor. Without a second's hesitation, the boy replied, "I have inside infor mation." Mistress: "I am not quite satisfied with your references. Maid: "Neither am I; but they are the best I could get." She (at the piano): "That last note was D flat." He: "That's what I thought, but I didn t like to say anything." Two actors went for a week-end's fishing. Towards evening, as they were wending their way towards the hotel where they proposed to stay, they made the discovery that neither had any money. "Oh, never mind," said one. "It'll be all right, won't it They know you at the hotel." "Yes," said the other in a mourn ful voice, "that's what's worrying me. "Every time I kiss you it makes me a better man." "Well, you don't have to try to get to heaven in one night From Blue Mountain Eagle, Can yon City, we learn that the case of State of Oregon vs. Guy Boyer, in dieted for assault with a dangerous weapon, was called in circuit court there the early part of last week, and Mr. Boyer entered a plea of not guilty." The trial was contin ued on consent of the district attor ney until the May term, 1930, and defendant furnished bond in the sum of $2000. He is represented by C L. sweek of Heppner. Both crate fattening and pen fat tening are used in preparing roast ing chickens for market. Crate fat tening, says the Oregon Experiment station, produces a better quality of flesh, but also requires more work.
