BIG COOPERATIVES ARE
NEEDED.
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

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. A family that prays
to the Father together li not so apt
to start a family argument

JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.D.
Worth Considering
While the average span of life
has been materially lengthened by
the splendid progress in medicine
and surgery, yet the fact remains
that more men of middle age or
just beyond are dying in a given
period of time than ever before.
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

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.

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.

levying school taxes.
A GOOD TIME TO SPEND
MONEY.
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

they are moved in early fall, it is
best to delay the work until March
or later.

Cooked peas rubbed through a
sieve, one and a half cups, bread
crumbs, one and a half cups milk,
one egg, slightly beaten, one slice
onion, chopped, salt and pepper to
taste. Scald the milk, add the on

Season to taste. Bake in a buttered
baking dish or timbale molds In a

twenty minutes.
Beans, mashed carrots, fish or

Curtains
Here's an idea for keeping your
lace or scrim, net or swlss curtains
clean:
Make one extra pair when you
make the curtains. 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.

From Blue Mountain Eagle, Can
yon City, we learn that the case of
State of Oregon vs. Guy Boyer, in

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
