HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCT. 16, 1930. PAGE THREE 01 M BRUCBAI GIVING A man met his lawyer and said: "One of these days I shall want you to revise my will." The lawyer nodded encouraging ly. "When you drew It," the man con tinued, "I hadn't accumulated much. Naturally I left everything to my family. Now I am better fixed. I'd like to provide for relatives, give to the men who have helped me make my money, and contribute to charities. There's no hurry about it, of course. In another ten years I ought to be considerably richer. "The amounts I can give now are small in comparison with what I expect to do then." The lawyer advised him to have the will rewritten that very day. "If you live ten years and pros per you can revise the. figures up ward," he said. "But suppose some thing should happen to you tomor row. You would die leaving a sel fish will." Two very rich men have died In recent years, leaving very selfish wills. The great business of one of them is already dwindling. The men who manage it were given no share in it; their hearts are not In their work. The other rich man, a bachelor, who paid small salaries but prom ised his younger associates that they would be "taken care of," left his millions to a museum. By those who do not know the facts It was hailed as a princely gift. It was no gift Having trained every faculty to get, get, get, he simply could not give. He merely dodged the Issue by writing in the name of a mu seum which he had hardly even seen. You say, "What has this to do with me? J am not a millionaire." The fact that, you, an average American, have more money today than you used to think you'd ever have. Are you giving any? The muscles of the soul are like the muscles of the body. If you say, "Some day in the future I'll take physical exercise," you find, when the time comes, that you can't. The muscles have atrophied. "If you say, "Some day when I have more I will begin to give," you will never give. The habit requires cultivation. We are about to have new stand ards in this country. Our day of worshipping wealth is past. Money no longer confers distinction; a millionaire is no more uncommon than an automobile, and not nearly so uncommon as a horse. The givers will be the heroes of the future. And the time will come when those who merely get will be held up to scorn. And their chil dren will hang their heads. J FRANK PARKER AUTOGIRO Before the gas engine was in vented, before anybody had ever believed the airplane possible, Thomas A. Edison Invented a flying machine which was to be lifted into the air by a horizontal windmill propeller, the power derived from a series of gun-cotton explosions. The other day Mr. Edison saw James Ray and James Faulkner land at Newark after a flight from Philadelphia In a machine called an "autogiro" which, except for the engine, was just like the early Edi son dream. It is entirely possible that the autogiro, which can rise vertically, land "on a dime" and fly as slow as 20 miles or as fast as 115 miles an hour will be the air plane of the future. LONDON The municipality of London is still the largest city in the world, with 7,849,000 population, compared with New York's 1930 census figure of 6,981,927. But in the area known as "circled New York" the territory included in a radius of 19 miles from the City Hall, which takes in part of New Jersey and of three New York counties not included In the city proper, there is a popula tion about 1,400,000 greater than in the so-called "London traffic area" which extends nearly thirty miles from the center of London. Contrary to the general idea, the average height of buildings in Lon don is higher than in New York. The many huge skyscrapers, rising from 30 to 60 stories, in New York, are counterbalanced by the tens of thousands of buildings only three or four stories high. London has only two or three buildings more than seven stories high, but very few under five stories. The London County Council recently refused an application to build a new hotel ten stories tall, and fixed nine stories as the limit FOOD Food fads and faddists cost the American farmer millions of dol lars a year according to Henry Stude, president of the American Bakers association. Mr. Stude's or ganization Is trying to get people to go back to the habit of eating bread not whole wheat bread or Graham bread or any kind of "health" bread, but just ordinary white bread. There is a good deal in the sug gestion that many persons have been frightened away from bread by the idea that it is fattening. The craze for slenderness is not confined to women; men have been taught that fat is dangerous. The real danger is In not eating enough nutritive food to supply the neces sary bodily energy. "Eat what's set before you," was the rule for children, when I was a boy. It is still a good rule. Most of us can digest anything and the wider our range of diet the more healthy we are likely to be. WHEAT In every state but Georgia the August price of corn was higher than the price of wheat Such a state of things occurs only once in a long time, wheat usually being the highest-priced grain. This year there is a big wheat surplus and a short corn crop. The U. S. Department of Agricul ture and the Federal Farm Board are advocating using the wheat sur plus to feed livestock. It is figured that the food value of wheat is so much higher than that of corn, that with corn at a dollar a bushel the farmer can afford to pay $1.12 for wheat for feeding. Many farmers have reported their experience in feeding wheat in the past, for cattle, hogs and poultry, with uniform satisfaction. Some say that it fattens hogs faster than corn does. It would be strange if wheat should become the stock farmer's mainstay as well as the backbone of human diet RAILROADS George Gould's ambition was to own a railroad system which would stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He died with his ambition unrealized. E. H. Harriman, James J. Hill and Commodore Vanderbilt failed in their similar efforts. The Canadian Pacific and the Canadian National systems run from coast to coast in Canada, but only this year the first system under one control to cover the whole United States was completed. In 1916 the Van Sweringen Bro thers of Cleveland wanted a right of way for a trolley line to their real estate development Shaker Heights. They could get It only by buying the decrepit Nickel Plate railroad which they did, mostly on credit That gave them a line from Buffalo to Chicago and soon they were up to their ears in the rail road business. Now, after 14 years, they control also the Erie, the Ches apeake & Ohio, the Hocking Valley, Pere Marquette, Wheeling and Lake Erie, Chicago and Eastern Illinois and Missouri Pacific. Their 18,000 miles of road is the largest railroad system in the Uni ted States. It is capitalized at $808, 000,000 and valued at over two bil lions. That is going a long way in 14 years.

For, despite the fact that costly plants are required to gen erate electric energy, the far-flung distribu tion system, the transmission lines and the operating expenses necessary to maintain this dependable service constitute the major costs in our business. To serve Pacific Power & Light Company rural users at rates lower than prevail in almost any other similar section of the Uni ted States demands also the services of a ca pable staff of engineers and technical men, working under the direction of seasoned ex ecutives who have spent their lives in the power and light industry. Like the experienced farmer, who knows that seed alone is not crop money in the bank, these trained workers realize the need for sound management as well as expensive equipment, in developing their "seed" electric energy into finished service. Their ability to make a good "crop" is proved by the fact that your district enjoys an ample supply of electric energy at unusually low costs. Utilize more Pacific Power & Light Company service; it cuts farm production costs. FREE SEED ISN'T ALL Pew thinking- farmers wonld oontend that free seed would eure all of their bnalneu problem!.
