HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNEE, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1930 PAGE THREE There Is a Santa Clans ! Coast-Wide iBDEttTHDAY ,'-:,sav;-,..BY:c.;r;f; FRANK PARKER 3TOCKBR1PE FOOD Long Island ships dressed ducks to California. California sends tur keys to New York. Florida ships trainloads of celery to the North and Jacksonville stores sell Califor nia celery. New Jersey raises straw berries, onions, cabbages, but Jer sey suburban housewives buy them from grocers who in turn buy them from New York City wholesalers. The Federal Farm Board should find ways to eliminate these round about methods of food distribution, with their expensive fright charges and profits to half a dozen middle men. The food supplies of big cities will some day be grown in regions adjacent to the cities. It will be cheaper to grow winter vegetables under quartz glass in electrically heated hathouses than to haul them across a continent. BUILDING The last stand of the hand-worker against the machine is in the build ing trades. Building costs are ex cessive all over the country and are still mounting. Wages go up with out corresponding increase in pro ductiveness. In the mechanized in dustries higher wages reflect hgiher production. It is perfectly possible to erect houses of any size out of standard ized, machine-produced elements, which any unskilled workman can put together under competent direc tion. Plastering is unnecessary; many wallboards on the market are better and more economical. Paint ing can be done more etllciently and cheaper by spraying. Some day some group of capital ists will finance a building project which will utilize engineering skill and mechanical processs as the automobile industry does. Then homes will be so cheap that every family can own one exactly fitted to its needs. MARCONI Thirty years ago a young man with an inquiring mind succeeded in sending a signal across the At lantic without wires. That was the beginning of radio. Everybody knows some of the things that radio has accomplished since then, but there is more to come. Marconi looks for the transmis sion of power by radio, before very long. Television seeing at a dis tanceis just around the corner, al ready here in the laboratory. A photograph sent across the ocean by radio enabled the London police to catch an American crook the other day. Short radio waves raise the body temperature, so that we may yet keep warm in winter by having radio terminals on opposite sides of each room. LAND Chicago is building a new sky scraper on land which was bought for $5,000,000 an acre. One family owned this land for ninety-two years. It cost that family $2.50 an acre in 1827. The present value is just two million times that, which is not a bad profit, even if one's heirs have to wait a hundred years for it. More fortunes have been made in America by buying land and hang ing on to it than in any other way. The biggest gains are in the biggest cities, but who knows where popu lation will center a century hence? Except for occasional speculative land booms nobody has ever lost money by buying land anywhere in the United States, if he held it long enough. Somebody, some day,' will write a history of the United States In terms of real estate. This country was settled by landless men who wanted to own a piece of ground and couldn't do that in Europe. THINKING If you want to get your pay raised, think. A big automobile fac tory needed more space. A young engineer climbed a girder and look ed over the machinery floor. He thought for half an hour, then ahnwed his boss how overhead car riers could displace the trucks which carried narts to and from the machines. The space saved in aisles ntul nassacrewavs provided room fnr iiilditinnal machines, to house which the company had contemplat ed spending a quarter 01 a minion. Th anlnrv raise the voung engineer got represented interest on a fifth nt thnt The world navs more for Ideas than for anything else. They must hn sound, constructive ideas, the product of real thinking. Every step the world takes in advance Is the result of somebody's thinking. Perpetual Motion Some day, go into the Patent Of fice In Washington and look at the applications that have been made for patents on perpetual-motion ma chines. You will see some very ingenious devices. For instance, a machine to be run by the power of gravity iron balls dropping down a chute and turning a wheel. The inventor of that machine pro vided for everything. He even add ed a brake to stop the machine, in case it should run so fast as to be come unmanageable. He forgot only one thing that it requires just as much energy to lift the balls up against gravity as they develop by falling down. In England, between 1617 and 1903 more than six hundred separate ap plications for patents were made on perpetual motion machines. They stand this unending pro cessionas a magnificent monu ment to the unchangeablesness of human nature. A to'stimnny to man's unquench able belief that somehow, some where, it is possible in this world to get something for nothing. Every man who goes downtown to business in the morning should pass a perpetual-motion machine and be reminded of its lesson. There is one great law that runs through all life. Many men have discovered it; Emerson named it the Law of Compensation. Everywhere that law is operative. In physics, action and reaction are equal. In electricity, if the north end of a magnet attracts, the south end repels. When I started in business I used to be somewhat worried by the good fortune of the wicked. I saw men who worked one half as hard as I and were paid twice as much mon ey. I saw other men lift themselves into the good graces of the boss on the golden wings of golf and funny stories. But I have seen the Law of Com pensation get in too much deadly work ever to concern myself any more about anybody else's success. I have seen good fellows who thought they were perfectly secure because they called the boss by his first name, be fired by the same bass, who called them by their first name when he did it. And I have seen men grow very rich and I know there are many ways in which the Law of Compen sation can work when a man has the ambition to become very rich. It can make him pay in health. It can turn his home into a counting-room. It can make his children snobs and hypocrites. It can des troy his joy in simple things. Another gentleman discovered the Law of Compensation even before Emerson. He stated it in this form: Be not deceived; God is not mock ed: for whatsiM-ver a man soweth, that shall he almt reap.

New Clover Seed Sent To Oregon From Ohio Sixty tons of clover seed from lorg established winter-hardy strains are on their way to Oregon from Fostoria, Ohio, where George R. Hyslop, chief in farm crops at Oregon State college, selected it as most suitable for Oregon conditions. The seed is being shipped to the Portland Seed company, the C. C. Bunting seed company of Forest Grove, and the Jenks-White seed company of Salem. These seed firms have agreed to distribute it at cost to farmers and other dealers in the state. The college extension service will establish a system of field certifica tion with inspections before seeding and before harvest in a state-wide program to put Oregon's clover seed industry on a more satisfactory basis. Sydney surprised his teacher as he was about to go home. "What have I learned to-day, teacher?" he asked. "What a curious question!" the teacher replied. "Why do you ask?" "Well," said Sydney, ('they'll want to know at home."
