VN EMPLOYMENT AND
CHARITY.
T WOULD be interesting, if any-
i body could find out, to know how
many families and individuals in
the United States habitually live on
charitv.
Poorhouses are disappearing. In
most sections of the United States
the town pauper is a thing of the
rast But there are hundreds of
thousands. DerhaDS a million, of
grown-up people who do little or no
useful work, who earn nothing
which can be measured in dollars
and cents, and still manage to sur
vive, somehow.
The nation-wide agitation of the
cast few months over the unemploy
ment situation has revived interest
in this subject and has discolsed
some interesting and peculiar con
ditions. The total number found to
be out of jobs, when compared with
the total number usually employed,
showed a wide discrepancy. Inves
tigators, particularly in the large
cities, discovered that most of the
unemployed didn't really want work.
They either wanted a particular
kind of work, which was not avail
able at the time and place, or they
wanted charity.
In several parts of the country
large farmers were trying to get
labor, and were willing to pay high
wages, but the unemployed of the
cities would not go to the country.
In all probability more real dis
tress and suffering has been caused
by the wide-spread drought than by
the industrial slump which follow
ed the Wall Street crash. There
are more people on the verge of
starvation in the drought-affected
districts than were brought to that
condition because of unemployment
This is a situation in which char
ity is called for, in many instances.
The policy under which the Fed
eral Government is planning relief
measures will mingle charity with
business-like methods. Federal
funds will not be given away loose-1
ly, nor will they be lent on insuffi
cient security, if President Hoover
has his way about it Each case of I
suffering will be judged on its own
merits. A man's neighbors know
what sort of a man he is. If he
is shiftless, a poor farmer, the type
which can never get ahead, it would
be a waste of public funds to lend
him money with which to get a
fresh start Better let the Red Cross
stake him and his family to food
enough to tide them over until he
can get another job. That is char
ity. But the farmer who owns his
land and will put it up as security
for a loan from the Federal Farm
Loan board, or whose neighbors will
indorse his notes to the Federal
Intermediate Credit banks is on a
different footing. He is entitled to
a loan, and will be able to pay it
back in time.
FEWER LAWYERS, BETTER
SERVICE NEEDED.
IS IT to be wondered that an atti-
tude is quite prevalent among the
general public of "get all you can
out of the railroads"? There is an
old saying that where there Is
smoke there must be some fire.
Probably the public is not all at
fault in assuming such an attitude.
In the long run one cannot help

September 7.
JOSIAH A BOYAL BEFOBMEB.
II Kings 22: 1,2,8; 23:1-3, 21-25.
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
The way in which the record of
good and evil mingle in the Bible
Indicates that it is a very human
book. Some of the kings were fear
fully bad, as was the case with
Manasseh and Amon. It is stated
that Manasseh led the people into
more ways of sin than did the sur
rounding nations. The temple
courts were debased with altars
that urged to most licentious abom
inations as acts of worship. Amon
the son had a base record also.
There seemed little chance for the
next in line Joslah but from the
earliest years he showed different
qualities for righteousness.
Thus from base environment one
can rise to better things. The mo
ther's name is mentioned and she
doubtless exerted right Influences
as did Hildah and Kllklah, prophet
and priest But why not give the
boy credit for a willingness to be
good! It is not necessary for any
youth to first sow his wild oats be
fore he finds himself. From the
start it can be natural for him to
delight In rectitude.
Genuine common sense was man
ifested in one of the early conclu
sions of King Joslah. If the peo
ple were to be good they needed a
centralized place of worship. The
temple In Jerusalem had been gross
ly befouled and this place should
be made fit once more for the wor
ship of Jehovah. Money was sought
for rpnovation and the king's spirit
had been bo caught that an audit
but wonder if the railroads would
not be justified in cutting down
their legal staffs at least half and
using the money saved in bringing
their business methods up-to-date
The consideration the public would
thus receive would obviate the ne
cessity for at least half the lawyers
employed for the purpose of keep
ing rates up and service way behind
the times.
This conclusion seems obvious in
the light of the recent postponement
of the grain rate cut allowed the
railroads by the Interstate Com
merce commission with no provi
sion to guard the interests of those
who would have benefitted three
months sooner by the original or
der. The only reason given was
that it was impossible for the rail
roads to get out new tariffs in the
allotted month. Hence, they were
given three more months. Pretty
low efficiency, it seems, for one of
the country's leading industries
and unjustly discriminatory on the
part of the commission, if their or
iginal order was justified. Farm
ing interests of Morrow county be
lieve it was justified, but that it did
not go far enough in lowering rates
here to bring about the equaliza
tion intended.
Would the railroads have requir
ed so much time if the order had
been for increased rates?
THE COST OF LIVING.
T TYING costs have come
down
Li nearly a quarter since the end
of the war, according to the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. They are still
twothirds greater than they were in
1913, however. Stated another way,
a dollar today will buy only as
much of the necessities of life as
60 cents would have brought 17
years ago.
Reduction in the average cost of
many of the items which enter into
the cost of living is still going on,
however. In the past eight months
average food prices have declined
more than 6 percent and they are
still falling in some commodities.
Just now, for example, meat prices
are very low, because the drought
has forced many farmers to rush
their cattle, sheep and hogs to mar
ket Milk in the large cities on
the other hand, is up a cent a quart,
because of the short supply.
The biggest increase in, living
costs since the war is in the items
of fuel and house furnishings. The
latter averages nearly double the
cost of 1914. Food is less than half
again as expensive as it was before
the war, clothing only slightly high
er than that.
There are a lot of things on which
the average family spends money
today which did not figure in the
domestic budget before the war,
however. Radio sets are one of
these. Automobiles are another. So
are electric refrigerators and a
good many other kinds of electrical
household equipment which were
luxuries for the very rich only a
few years ago.
Maintenance and operation of
cars, radio, electric equipment, tel
ephone things which were luxur
ies only recently but which most
people now look on as necessities
run familv expenditures up, but
those things are not officially class
ified as "cost of living," since we
have set a standard of living in
America to which in time we shall
have elevated the whole nation, and
that includes the upkeep of bobbed
hair, the price of golf balls and
numerous other items which do not
figure at all in the average citizen's
budget anywhere else in the world.
ENJOYABLE TRIP
TO ALASKA TOLD
Josephine Mahoney Visits Site of
Gold Rush Days; Braving Sea
In Places Dangerous.
Josephine Mahoney, who recent
ly returned from what is known as
the Yukon Circle trip, taking her
around the Yukon river as far
south as Tanana and eight miles
within the Arctic circle, writes the
following interesting account:
Upon leaving Seattle the first
point of real interest was the Sey
mour Narrows. Here the tides of
was not required. People can wor
ship God as Individuals but history
has shown that when they do this
there is an urge to worship Him
also with others of like precious
faith and the church and synagogue
become necessities to meet this con
scious need.
While the work of renovation was
proceeding a great discovery was
made in the debris. The Scripture
rolls came to light once more. These
were probably the Pentateuch
though some say that only the book
of Deuteronomy was found at the
time. It was an intense moment
when Hilkiah said to Shaphan the
scribe: "I have found the book of
the law In the house of Jehovah."
At once king Joslah Is notified and
his joy is unbounded. Now he has
the very word of the Lord to go by
and need not depend on tradition
handed down by word of mouth.
The Bible' Is a book for use that
its content may be put Into prac
tise for daily living. The Hebrews
are summoned to a conclave or
great School for Reading In the
temple courts while king, scribe
and priest read the divine law to
the people. Children must have
been present also for the record for
attendance Is "small and great"
Youth Is never an Indifferent part
in any audience for right construc
tion in early years Is far more
resultful than a later attempt at
the reconstruction of adult wreck
age. At the conclusion of the read
ing the people showed how deeply
they were Impressed when they
"stood to the covenant" and thus
promised obedience to the com
mands and teachings of God.

Canned Foods in Summer
The single object of canning eat
ables is, to preserve them in as
nearly a natural state as possible,
for a future time when they would
not be available or in season. Amer
ican genius has canned about every
edible thing known, so the canning
industry has become national even
international in scope.
More indictments, I believe, have
been rendered against canned meats
than any other line of sealed pro
visions. Impure meats or fish in
soldered tin cans, will retain the
impurities till, and after being open
ed for consumption. I may say
here that, dried meats and fish
properly handled, are much more
desirable from the safety stand
point, than the canned. Dried beef
and dried fish are highly nutritious,
and are not likely to carry harmful
bacteria to the system.
This can hardly be said of fresh
canned meats. Flesh being an ex
cellent culture medium for germs,
it may become dangerous if exposed
long to summer heat in open air.
the straits of Juan de Fuca and
Queen Charlotte sound meet and
must be taken at slack tide or. the
boat will be dashed to pieces on the
rocks below the surface. The whole
trip is one of endless beauty and
grandeur, with towering snow-capped
mountains, waterfalls, Indian
villages, and salmon canneries.
Ketichikan, the first city out of
Seattle, has a population of 6000. It
boasts 11 miles of scenic highway.
It also has canneries, fox farms,
mining interests and cold storage
plants.
Wrangell, the next town visited, is
noted for its fishing and interesting
totem poles, family trees of the na
tive Indians. After leaving Wran
gell the boat passes through the
Wrangell narrows which must be
taken at high tide. At night they
are lighted on either side. A ship
was passed in these difficult and
dangerous narrows.
Petersburg is the next town after

Shun the can of fish or meat that
has been partly used and left open
in summer room temperature. Bet
ter throw away a partly used can
of salmon or of corned beef, than
have it give you ptomaine poison
ing. The tin can is not by any means
the best receptacle for the things
you want to "put up for winter."
This is particularly true of toma
toes, pickled vegetables, and acid
fruits. Glass is always a sanitary
container and is acid-proof. Non
acids may be canned in tin with
more safety. But, in summer,
when everything is fresh from gar
den and field, why use canned stuff
at all? A mighty good slogan from
June to October would be, "can
the can."
I may be pardoned I hope, being
an old physician when I say that
canning string beans and pigs feet
and asparagus and even summer
greens is carrying the game farth
er than is necessary or wise. Bet
ter eat things in their season; the
fruits of earth are all-sufficient; the
natural way is best of all.
which comes Taku glacier, a double
glacier, one dead and one alive, the
last blue and sparkling. This gla
cier is between one and two miles
in width, 200 feet high and 30 miles
in length.
Juneau, the capital of Alaska,
with a population of 8000 is the next
city. It is in a beautiful setting,
with mountains rising to enormous
heights back of it. Here a gold
mine is in opertalon, also a mu
seum. 5,000,000 pounds of fish are
shipped from here each year. Men-
denhall glacier is close by. In one
of the curio shops a $30,000 picture
of Mt. McKinley by Sidney Law
rence was on display. Six destroy
ers were in the harbor.
Skagway, "Gateway to the Yu
kon," where the ocean steamer is
left, was next visited. This Is in a
beautiful setting but the population.
at one time more than 10,000 is now,
perhaps, 1000. This is a town of

Here, also, are beautiful flower gar
dens.
Now, a narrow gauge railroad Is
taken known as the White Pass &
Yukon railway which goes along the
old trail of '98, passing White Pass
city which had a population of over
10,000 at one time, but now only a
few deserted houses. Dead Horse
gulch is crossed and on over the
White Pass summit into British
Columbia. The party lunched at
Lake Bennett, one building stand
ing where thousands of people liv
ed during the gold rush days. Next
the little village of Carcross was vis
ited where the lake steamer was
taken for Lake Atlin. Getting here
two lakes and 3 miles of railroad
are crossed. This Is a beautiful
summer resort and many from the
tour remained for several days. The
rest left for Carcross where the
train for Whitehorse was taken.
Here the Royal Canadian Mounted
police are stationed. Here also Is
the Sam McGee cabin made famous
by Robert Service.
At Whitehorse the river boat is
boarded, starting the 460 miles down
the river to the Klondike. Lake
LeBarge, Five Finger rapids and
Hellsgate are crossed. The passen
gers were thrilled to have about
500 caribou swim the river, part of
them passing in front of the boat.
Then Dawson was reached where
the main barracks of the Royal
Canadian Mounted police are locat
ed, also the Robert W. Service cabin
and other points of Interest. Here
also a change Is made in boats to
make the trip down the lower. Yu
kon. Crossing the international
boundary, Circle City is visited and
the boat passes through the Yukon
flats which are between 200 and 300
miles long. It is here that the long
est day on this trip was seen, the
sun setting at 10:20 o'clock at night
and rising at 2:20 o'clock in the
morning. These parts do not know
darkness for 24 hours at this time
of year.
Fort Yukon, the metropolis of the
Yukon, is eight miles within the
Arctic circle. Here is an Episcopal
church of Interest a hospital and
school. Dr. Grafton C. Burke Is In

live some 600 natives and 300 whites.

from Fairbanks Is owned by the
government also the hotel at Cur

vice. Although the loss on this
railroad is estimated at $1,000,000

tain In North America is seen, the
town of Anchorage, the railroad
loop, scenic beyond description,
crossing and re-crossing itself and
finally on a trestle with glaciers,
snow, waterfalls, shrubbery and
beautiful flowers as a setting.
Next we come to the port, Sew

high green mountains on one side
and on the other a saw-tooth range
with snow and clouds. Boarding
the ocean steamer. Columbia glacier
is seen, the boat anchoring about 30
minutes. This glacier is 38u reet
high, between 2 and 3 miles wide
and 65 miles long. Then Latouche,
Cordova and across the Gulf of Al
aska to Juneau and the return trip
through the inside passage.
From Carcross around the Yukon
there are numerous huskies, the
sledge dogs of the north. They are
truly majestic animals. In the far
north they are all chained and are
not gentle as the ones at first seen
who meet each boat as a reception
committee and love to be petted.
Eskimoes were seen at Fort Yu
kon. They are similar to the In
dian except their skins are more
brown than red. They have three
tatooed marks on their chins.
CASEIN PROPOSED
AS STATE PRODUCT
Federal Specialist Suggests Milk
By-product May Be Made by
Oregon Creameries.
Casein, a by-product of sklm
mllk, may become a profitable ar
ticle of manufacture by Oregon
creameries, according to word
brought to the state by Charles S.
Trimble, associate dairy manufac
turing specialist of .the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture. Mr. Trimble
visited the dairy department at Or
egon State college, conferring with
specialists there concerning expand
ing the industry here.
The nation now uses some 50 mil
lion pounds of casein, annually.
mostly in connection with paper
making. About half of this is im
ported. The new tariff more than
doubled the import duties, giving
American interests considerable ad
vantage. If all the Imported casein
were made here, an additional bil
lion pounds of skim milk would be
used.
Two Oregon creameries now
make casein one at Baker and the
other at Clatskanie, according to
O. S. C. authorities. If demand for
the service arises the college ex
perimental creamery may install
casein equipment for test purposes.
Purity and germination tests on
arty kind of seed will be run free for
farmers sending in samples to the
seed laboratory at Oregon State
college. From two ounces to a
pound, depending on the Bize of the
seed, is required for accurate tests,
and it is important that the sample
accurately represent the lot Just
before planting time is the best
time to get most valuable reports.
