HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1930. PAGE THREE k'BRUCH3ARTON No Profit on the Corn Occasionally somebody visits my place in the country who entirely misunderstands its purpose. "That's a beautiful lake," he says. "You should stock It with flsh and make money." To which I answer that I don't want to make money. He is sure he has not heard me correctly, and so he continues. "Some of your land is pretty well run down, but if you would put on plenty of fertilizer for a couple of years it would produce valuable crops." "I don't want to produce crops," I say a little louder. He looks bhocked, but tries again. "Why don't you buy some of this wood-land and raise foxes?" At this I am tempted to set our dog on him. Our dog is symbolic of the place. He is good for noth ing. He barks at friendly visitors, and once he slept soundly while the house was robbed. Instead of committing any such inhospitality, however, I try patient ly to explain that this country place was not bought for profit, is not con ducted for profit, can not possibly show a profit, and, if it could, would not be so dear to my heart It is a beautiful, inefficient and wasteful oasis in a rushing, efficient world. Money is a grand possession, an essential measuring stick. But there are more people who seem to think that there is no other measuring stick, that nothing is justified unless it is producing income, or increas ing in value. Such folks should consider the lilies of the field, which sew not neither do they spin; yet by simply being their beautiful selves justify their existence. They should learn wisdom of Henry Ward Beecher, who once bought two little pigs for two dol lars, fed them twelve dollars' worth of corn, and sold them for ten dol lars. "Thus I made eight dollars," he exclaimed triumphantly, "on the pigs." And added, "I never expected to make any profit on the corn." New York is my pigs. I make my profit there. But I never expect ed to many any profit on my home, my children, or my place in the country. And I never shall. ZEPPELINS People of the eastern part of the United States have just had another glimpse of that gigantic monster of the air, the Graf Zeppelin. In the teeth of terrific storms the great German airship crossed the South Atlantic from Europe to Brazil, then flew northward to New York and east across the Atlantic to its home port on Lake Constance. This trip, added to its flight around the world last year, has re moved the last doubt as to. the prac ticability of aerial navigation, and American capital is rushing in to invest in the manufacture of Zep pelins in this country and to estab lish regular passenger and express routes between the great centers of population. For high speed and comparatively light loads the airplane will remain unchallenged, In all probability. But the dirigible balloon has definitely arrived as a means of everyday transportation. GAS The one remaining domestic han dicap which makes women discon tented with life in the country towns is the necessity of doing their cooking and water-heating with wood or coal, which makes too hot a fire in the summer, or with elec tricity, which is decidedly expen sive, or over oilstoves, which are slow. For cooking purposes the gas which city people use is concededly the most satisfactory fuel. A bank in Indiana, finding Itself with a bankrupt gas company on its hands, Investigated the possibility of bringing in compressed natural gas from Oklahoma. The experi ment worked, and the people of Linton are getting the new gas at the old price, in the old way, while the expensive production plant in the town has been abandoned. This seems to point a way where by every community, however small, can have its gas mains and use this handy fuel as well as In the cities. NEWSPAPERS According to the American Press, there are 160 newspapers in the United States which have been pub lished continuously for 100 years or more. Of these, 65 are dailies. 95 weeklies. One of the weeklies, the Annap olis, Maryland, Gazette, is more than 200 years old, having been es tablished in 1727. Five papers still In existence were published before the Revolution. The oldest of all dallies is the Hartford, Connecticut, Courant, founded In 1764. We are accustomed to think of inn ,,, ooq nnilnrl at time before which nothing of importance exist ed in America. The evidence of (V.Dao nlH nnwHIinnpl'S .helDS US to realize that 100 years Is not such a very long time.

The next step, still some distance ahead but being considered with great seriousness by church leaders, is the reunion of the Methodist Ep iscopal church with the other off shoot of the Church of England, the Protestant Episcopal Church in Am erica. And some religious leaders are looking farther than that, to ward the ultimate merger of those and the Presbyterians into one gieat Protestant body. AIR Air and water do not seem to most of us like raw materials of industry. Yet one of the largest in dustries in America uses nothing else but the air from above and around its factory and the water from the river which flows past it. This is the plant of the Dupont in terests in West Virginia which ex tracts nitrogen from the air by first compressing the air until it is a li quid, then mixing with it hydrogen gas obtained from the water by el ectrolytic decomposition. The re sult is ammonia, which is the hand iest form of fixed nitrogen, whether you are going to use it for fertilizer or for the manufacture of explo sives. A similar process is to produce ni trate fertilizer in huge quantities as well as explosives for the Govern ment at Muscle Shoals maybe. When hay is shocked for baling from the field it is advisable to bale it as soon as it is thoroughly cured, says the Oregon Experiment sta tion, rather than allowing it to stand in the field for a couple of weeks. If waiting for a baler is necessary, it pays to stack the hay. Wanted Cooking on ranch by middle aged lady. Experienced, neat Mrs. Ida Hutt, Lonerock, Ore. 13-14p.
