METSCHAN CAN BEAT MEIER. liriTH the height of the Meier boom reached two weeks ago. and with subsidence of the hysteria that was created by showering the state with publicity and propaganda the head of the electorate has be gun to clear up and sound-thinking folks are seeing the flimsy material of which the boom was made. At the present time, these people are asking whom best to vote for to beat Meier. Either Bailey or Metschan could beat Meier if the election were held tomorrow, if the anti-Meier senti ment could be lined up solidly be hind either of them. But were this vote evenly split, Meier might be elected. However, an analysis of the situation shows that Metschan is in the more favorable position of the two, in spite of the fact that each is a good man and worthy of the support of his party. In the first place, a reading of the list of names of those who signed the Meier nominating petition re veals nearly as many democrats as republicans In the Meier camp. With a large preponderance of re publican voters registered In the state this is evidence that the demo cratic party has been weakened to a far greater extent than has the republican party. Therefore If the regular republicans and regular democrats were each to stick by their party nominee, it can readily be seen that Metschan would have a far greater support than Bailey, and that Bailey, to gain an advan tage, would have to swing a large bulk of the republican vote. To do this he has been at a dis advantage in having a small cam paign fund, and in not having the support of any large metropolitan daily newspaper. The Oregon Jour nal, heretofore counted on to sup port a democratic nominee, has been only lukewarm toward Bailey while being favorable to the candi dacy of the independent. On the other hand, the Metschan campaign has been gathering momentum, and with the Portland Oregonian stand ing solidly behind the republican ticket, it is more and more evident that Bailey will not be able to swing enough republican votes to beat Meier. Those who wish to preserve the principles of the republican form of government, and at the same time assure sound executive ability at Salem, should have no hesitancy in voting for Metschan. If all of those who want these things will vote November 4, Metschan will beat Meier. twelve years ago, its effects are still being felt, as they will be felt for a generation to come. During the war every form of pro duction of raw materials was im mensely stimulated in the countries outside of the war zone. Imme diately after the war there wsa a tremendous demand for copper, tea, rubber, coffee, sugar, cotton, wheat, corn, beef, silver, wool, and so on through the whole list of raw ma terials. The prices which were paid further stimulated production. Statesmen who forsaw a glut of these things, beyond the ability of the industrial world to utilize them, began to counsel caution, but pro ducers who had been reaping the big profits of high prices were only human, and continued to produce in the hope that prices would keep up. Of course, prices began to fall. Worse than that, producers of some commodities found themselves with hardly any market at all. In many other lines, prices fell below the cost of production. We have had only a slight touch of this world situation, in the falling price of wheat to the grower, in the low price the planter gets for cotton and the sheepman for wool. We have been going on at the over-stimulated pace set in war times, when "marginal" lands which It does not pay to cultivate in peace time, were put into crops which cannot now be profitably marketed. This overproduction is the under lying cause of all of the world's ec onomic troubles, in the opinion of some authorities. It certainly has a great deal to do with it. Two elements are at work in ev ery legitimate marriage contract, sex-urge," and "love. The physi cian, in his daily round of service to humankind, observes many phe nomena which enter mightily Into human existence for better or worse. I think the conscientious doctor may be a flrst-rate moral and spiritual adviser as well as battler gainst disease. The sex-problem, like the poor, we have with us always." Without I fear there would be few mar riages. Cut out the sex-urge, and, the few marriage contracts, based on love alone, would endure unto the end. "when death do us part" Sex-urge is not love. Holy Writ refers to it as "lust of the flesh," a part of that evil triumvirate, "the world, the flesh and the devil." It is but a means to an end, to "multi ply and replenish the earth." Sex urge is human, for human exercise and control. If uncontrolled but FROM SMALL BEGINNINGS THE old adage, "from little acorns great oaks grow," has proved true again when applied to boys' and girls' club work in Morrow county. Three years ago the 4-H clubs in the county were struggling for existence, and much time and effort was given by the county agenfs and county school superin tendent's offices in bringing the work to a plane of real accomplish ment Through their efforts Mor row county, then one of the laggard counties, has been placed among the leading counties of the state in this field. No finer movement for the benefit of young rural America has been conceived than 4-H club work. It not only assists boys and girls in earning money of their own, but gives them an insight of farm prob lems, teaches them application of modern knowledge to these prob lems, preparing them for real lead ers of the farmers of tomorrow. By teaching good business prac tices, 4-H club work prepares youth for leadership, and by instilling a love for home, respect for authority and a desire for the finer things of life, the 4-H movement assures a type of leadership that will make secure the future of America. The four "H's" health, heart, hand and home they are the cor nerstones of our nation. dam to raise the water level so that its enemies cannot reach the entrance to its home except by div ing, is more than an interesting lit tle animal. It was the source of the greater part of the wealth of the early Colonists. Beaver fur, it was soon discov ered, made a better felt for hats than wool or any of the other read ily obtainable furs. We speak to day of the tall silk hat of fashion as beaver," but it is merely a re mote descendant of the fashionable beaver-fur hats of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. An Im mense commerce between the Old World and the New was built up on beaver furs as the principal ex port from this side, and beaver fur, now mainly obtainable from Cana dian sources, is still one of the most highly prized pelts. The proclivity of the beaver to build dams is being utilized in the Palisades Interstate Park, lying in New York and New Jersey. A large swamp needed a dam to make it into a lake. Several families of the 350 beavers that live in the park were trapped and moved to the swamp. They proceeded to build their houses there and to construct the dam Just where it was needed. Although no longer an important item in commerce, the beaver is still useful. NEWS ITEMS BRING AID TO SCIENTIST OVERPRODUCTION. THE business stringency from a which the United States has been suffering for the past year, and from which recovery is now slowly setting in, is not confined to this country. All over the world similar depression exists, with very much more serious consequences to the masses of the people than we have experienced so far. There is not much consolation for the man out of a job in the know ledge that there are more men out of jobs somewhere else. But it is something to understand that the condition which we are facing In America has not been wholly caused by anything which we could have prevented. In every nation of the world the people are blaming their respective governments for the stag nation of industry. In several South American countries the resentment has expressed itself in revolutions which have thrown the old govern ment out In Europe political con ditions are critical in Germany, England, France and Spain, from the same causes. Economists who have delved deep ly into the present world situation blame it largely on the overproduc tion of raw materials of all kinds, all over the globe. And that over production is a direct result of the war. Although the war was over AUTUMN. EUROPEANS hardly know what America found a curious animal when we speak and write of "glor ious autumn weather" and prate of the lovliness of our "Indian Sum- ir." Climatic conditions are dif ferent on the two sides of the At lantic. Over there Spring is the season of which poets sing, the lov- liest period of the year. Summer follows Spring and then, with the briefest of intervals, Winter comes. Spring in most parts of the Uni ted States is hardly distinguishable from Summer. Winter drags on then suddenly Summer is at hand But after Summer comes Autumn, the long weeks when the few light frosts merely whet the zest for the out of doors, when the leaves turn to brilliant colors unmatched any where else In nature and' impossible to depict by art in their full gor- geousness. Is there anything more beautiful than a forest-clad hillside when the leaves are turning? The pale yellow of the birch, the bril liant scarlet of the sugar maple, the yellow-browns of the elms and the soft maple, the purplish tones of the ash, backgrounded against the several greens of the different ever greens, make a blend of riotous col or such as no painter has ever sue ceeded in catching on his canvas. The leaves fall, the frosts sharp en, and then comes the hunting sea son, the "Indian Summer" the like of which is known nowhere else In the world. This Autumn season is one of the elements, and not th least important one, of our Ameri can heritage. BEAVERS. "THE first European settlers I America found a curious naimal in the New World.

Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D. Peter was the popular one among the twelve apostles. More Is known about hla life than any other and, In part this Is because he was the fre quent spokesman. He was Invaria bly human and because he made so many mistakes we find comfort In studying his life. It Is significant that problems arose for Peter as an adult. It Is much easier to develop a worthy character when the task Is entered upon In childhood. Here we have the training of an adult and the slogan is still true. "It Is hard to teach an old dog new tricks." If Jesus had been the teacher of Peter In his early teens the work would have been less difficult and more re- sultful. Adults who are making serious mistakes will find much help in this study of Peter. Believe an other saying and take courage; "It Is never too late to mend." Observe three distinct calls that came to Peter from Jesus. The first, when brought by Andrew his brother, was to become a friend of the Master. Then there was the in vitation to go to school as a discipl (learner). Later twelve apostles were chosen from among the disci pies and Peter was selected. After Jesus had been rejected by the mul titude, because He would not be come their bread-making king the traveling school was taken to the base of Mount Hermon. Here there was a special quiz class as the Teacher said "Whom do men say that I am?" While the others were still thinking Peter gave the right answer: "Thou art the Christ. For this right reply the pupil was especially commended. TOD: FAMOUS JOHN JOSEPH GAINESTM.D. MARRIAGE who doesn't know the penalty? Love is far above the lust of flesh. When men and women love each other truly, independent of sexual attraction, the divorce courts go a begging. I have seen time and again, men and women live as hus band and wife, regardless of sexual bankruptcy, and their devotion and happiness seemed far above the In tensely animal natures. The sex urge nuptial contract is dangerous if wholly animal; it is not much higher than the union of the beasts in the field. The sexual marriage ceases when sex fails, then infidel ity, unchastity, jealousy, the divorce court and its miserable attempts at self-justification. No, sex-urge is not love; the latter rises above the coarse, animal passion. When men and women learn that true love is an identity far removed from sex-urge; when they try to oc cupy a plane above that of the beast of the field, then, and not till then will the highest ideal of humanity have been realized.

Strange and unusual blackberries from Grants Pass to Puyallup, Wn have been reported to the Oregon State college in a steady stream of letters since the appeal of Dr. George M. Darrow, head of the fed eral-state berry experimental work, issued largely through the weekly papers of the state. The result has been that plant breeding In this phase of small fruit study will doubtlessly be advanced several years, as a number of valuable finds are being investigated. Among the most promising de velopments is a blackberry reported from Salem that gives every prom ise of having the flavor of the Him alaya and the yield, size and firm ness of the Oregon Evergreen just the thing in view when the public announcement was made. It is being propagated by the owner and will be increased and studied carefully at the experiment station. Another important discovery is that a farmer at Sublimity, Ore., has been propagating for four years a thornless sport of the Oregon Ev ergreen which this year was in full bearing and which apparently has all of the old Evergreen advantages minus the thorns. So successful has the first attempt at public cooperation in plant im provement been that Dr. Darrow is asking again for reports on another kind of wild blackberry. The true wild blackberry of the trailing type is given credit, he says, for the best flavors in most of the cultivated brambles. These are abundant in many parts of Oregon and Dr. Darrow hopes to collect some of the best specimens for plant breeding work. The kinds he is particularly interested in are those plants showing a tendency to fall fruit habits on new shoots, as well as those having the largest and best berries. Dr. Darrow will be glad to Investigate any such plants that are reported to the college. Oregon Mutual Fire Company, rates 25 per cent less, will insure your buildings and contents.
