Honesty in Business
I graduated from college when
muckraking was in its greatest
glory.
The magazines and newspapers
and reformers had filled our youth
ful minds with so much distressing
Information that we hardly knew
whether the world was a safe place
for us to step out into or not
We looked askance on all the fel
lows in college whose fathers had
made money. To be sure, the fath
ers seemed decent enough old cod
gers when they visited us at the
fraternity house. But we felt that
something was dark and bad in
their past somewhere.
A business man was a being with
out conscience or intelligence, like
a slot-machine. You gave him a
nlckle and he gave you a nickle's
worth of goods.
If he took your nickle and with
held the goods, then he was a suc
cessful business man.
We know better now. In fact,
I believe it could be shown that the
greatest force for righteuosness in
the United States today is nothing
more nor less than the once malign
ed BUSINESS.
Business is the greatest ally and
promoter of Honesty. And more
and more I have come to feel that
Honesty is, after all, the corner
stone of all the virtues.
Nothing has Impressed me more
than this: Get to the top of a big
business enterprise, and nine times
out of ten you will find an idealist.
You will find a man who has long
since ceased to be interested in mere
money-making who is staying in
business because of what he wants
his business to do for his employees,
his community and his country.
I do not say that Business is per
fect. Far from it.
But I do say that the time is past
when the young man -who goes into
business needs to feel that he is
making a selfish choice a choice
that cuts him off from service to his
fellow men.
"Be not slothful in business," said
St. Paul, "fervent in spirit; serving
the Lord."
Many a man, building a big bus
iness in America, has, as a by-product
of his building, strengthened
the character and lifted the ideals
of hundreds of his associates, and
helped in the regeneration of a
whole community.
And the number of such men the
idealists of BUSINESS in America
is increasing very fast.

PARROTS
Parrots have come in for a lot of
unfavorable publicity lately because
of a strange disease which has at
tacked several persons and which is
attributed to infection brought by
certain parrots from South Amer
ica. Physicians and health officials
say there is no danger of catching
"parrot fever" from a bird which
has been In the family for any con
siderable time.
The parrot is probably the most
Intelligent of all birds, and the fact
that it can be taught to talk makes
it almost a human companion. And,
like human beings, parrots develop
personal attachments to such a de
gree that they often pine away and
die when separated from their par
ticular friends. Don't let anybody
kill your parrot Just because a few
parrots are suspected of being dis
ease-carriers.
FEMINISTS
Ganna Walska, the Polish singer
who has been married to two Amer
ican multi-millionaires, has convinc
ed the U. S. Customs Court that a
married woman can have a legal
residence separate from that of her
husband. That saves Ganna from
paying duties on French gowns im
ported from her Paris "home,"
though her husband lives In Lake
Forest, Illinois.
This decision is hailed as a great
victory by the ultra-feminists, whose
purpose In life seems to be to break
up the American home and put
married life on the plane of the
cheapest Illicit love-affair. Because
this "modern" idea runs contrary to
the most deepseated traditions ev
ery expression of it gets a lot of
publicity, which is probably what
Ganna and the other feminists
want But It by no means follows
that American family life Is In dan
ger. Home and babies and a hus
band with a good job are what the
overwhelming majority of American
girls still want In marriage.
STYLE
The fur coats and silk stockings
worn by the American stenograph
ers who accompanied the delegates
from this country to the Naval Dis
armament Conference at London
made a greater impression on Eng
lish newspaper men than anything
else about the delegation. Londoners
never saw working girls dressed
"smartly."
The young women from the dif
ferent departments in Washington
who were taken over to do the cler
ical work for the delegation were
not picked for their beauty but sole
ly because they were the most effi
cient at their jobs. In any part of
America, city or country village,
they would attract no special at
tention. We are so used to seeing
our girls well-dressed and "smart"
in manner and appearance that we
do not realize that nowhere else
in the world do any but ultra-fashionables
and actresses on parade
wear the latest styles in clothes.
LINCOLN
Appreciation of Lincoln's great
ness is felt today throughout the
Nation, both North and South. In
his own time even the Nroth did not
appreciate him. Dr. Albert Shaw,
the distinguished Editor of the He
view of Reviews, brings this out
graphically In a new two-volume
book which reprints the most com
plete collection ever made of the
newspaper cartoons, campaign pos
ters and other pictorial representa
tions of Lincoln during his rise to
fame and his tenancy of the White
House.
Even without Dr. Shaw's Illumin
ating text the pictures show Lincoln
as more grossly maligned and bitr
terly lampooned, even in the house
of his friends, than any other man
who ever rose to the Presidency.
Only after his tragic death did the
people of the North begin to realize
that a great man had led them. We
are prone to forget that no man ap
pears great to his contemporaries.
LIGHT
Fifty years from now the world
may regard the discoveries made in
our time about light as the greatest
scientific advance of all time. Light
cures disease, ordinary sunlight,
light produced In various ways by
artificial means. Ordinary window
glass keeps the healthful part of
the sunlight out of the house. New
kinds of glass let it In. In fifty
years every modern home will be
equipped with the new glass and
illness will be less common.
Light stimulates growth of both
animals and plants. An English far
mer proved that exposing young
pigs to ultra-violet light made them
worth double their farrow-mates at
six months. A French scientist re
cently grew strawberries in a cel
lar, ripening in half the normal
time, using artificial light. They
cost $5 apiece, but the time will
come when out-of-season fruits and
vegetables can be grown In the
North by artificial light as cheaply
as now in Florida.
Mr. and Mrs. George McDuffee
went to Pendleton Thursday to take
Mrs. Lucy McCarter to the Eastern
Oregon state hospital. They were
accompanied by S. E. Notson, who
made the trip to confer with James
Alger Fee, circuit judge. Mr. Not
son did not get an opportunity to
see the judge as he was in Portland
at the time.
WHEAT GROWING
POINTERS
(From tillage and production report
of Eastern Oregon Wheat conference.)
No. t
of lerlei of tour article!.
Always sow good, clean seed free
from weeds.
Grain certification work has been
of value and should be continued.
Spring wheat is always best sown
early. The most profitable rate for
Federation Is 3 to 5 pecks; for Hard
Federation and Baart, 4 to 6 pecks.
In Jefferson county sowing thinner
is advised.
For sowing hay strips it is best
to use the same variety as the rest
of the fteld. That is, If white is
main crop, use white wheat in hay
strips; if red wheat is used for one,
use it for both.
Use of copper carbonate dust is
strongly recommended for treating
wheat for smut New methods are
not profitable for farmers to try un
til thoroughly tested. Copper car
bonate is not recommended for oats
and barley.
As new strains of smut have re
cently been found in the Pacific
Northwest, it Is recommended that
investigations be continued and If
necessary enlarged by state experi
ment stations and the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture to determine
the prevalence of these strains, their
effect on different varieties of wheat
and treatment necessary to control
them.
Inasmuch as development of smut
resistant and hardier wheats has
resulted in creating hundreds of
new varieties in the last few years,
and inasmuch as it has been neces
sary for farmers to test some of the
most promising of these, we recom
mend that farmers do not rush to
the growing of these wheats on
large acreages until they have been
more thoroughly tested and approv
ed by the experiment station and
extension service wrokers. We need
better varieties but we also need
fewer varieties.
