WE CANT LET THEM STARVE, Autocaster Service IN TWENTY-ONE; states of the Union distress such as our coun try has not experienced since the earliest pioneer days has visited lit erally millions of American citizens and their families. All of the indus trial unemployment, of which so much has been said and written, is trifling in its consequences of hu man misery, compared with the suf ferings of these country people in the regions where the drought of 1930 laid its withering hand. The men and women who are ad ministering the Red Cross relief in the stricken districts report that even the distress caused by the Mis sissippi flood of 1928 was less ser ious, not only because there are now many more people affected, but be cause of the feeling of hopelessness among the drought sufferers. Those who were driven from their homes by the flood, even though their homes and all they had were wash ed away, knew that Old Man River would subside in time and leave their land richer than before. There was always the land and next year's crops to look forward to. The people in the drought country have seen their land fail them. That Is the real tragedy of the present situation. Their crops failed, their livestock died of thirst, they could not accumulate enough to carry themselves and their families over the winter, and they look forward despondently toward another poor crop year, for it takes more than one season to bring the dried-out soil back to fertility. Unlike a large part of those seek ing employment relief in the cities these people have never before sought or accepted charity. It has been stated that fully half of those living on public bounty in the cities have never worked regularly and refuse to work when employment is offered them. These drought suf ferers have always worked, and worked hard. They are of the stock and character that makes up the backbone of our Nation. And they exhausted their own resources down to the last morsel of food, most of them, before they would ac cept the bounty of the Red Cross, administered in each locality by the devoted men and women of the com munity, serving without pay, ne glecting their own business and af fairs to minister to these their dis tressed neighbors. "There is not a rabbit nor a squir rel left in the whole district," one Red Cross worker reports from Kentucky. "All of the wild game that survived the drought has long since been shot or trapped to feed these starving people."

Once more read the entire chapter to observe the context and get the related teachings. Now is the time when Jesus is in popular favor and crowds throng about Him as he comes into any community. At that time it is said there were over 200 cities and villages in Galilee and the population numbered two or three millions. The condition is de cidedly different today, though the number will be largely increased soon if the Hebrews continue to re turn and reestablish themselves in their Promised Land. At times the Twelve went with Jesus and on other occasions, they. and even the Seventy, were sent forth in independent itineraries, The plan from the coming of Jesus has been to send out individuals as personal messengers of the Gospel. Note that certain women are nam ed. A group of women is mentioned which seems to have been a Com mittee on Ways and Means as they helped provide the cost involved as Jesus and His workers went about. Even the simplest ways of living costs sometimes daily and these wo men made it possible for the men to render their extsnsive services. Many parables are given at this time which tell about the Kingdom of Heaven that Jesus came to es tablish. A definition that Is still good calls a parable a heavenly story with an earthly meaning. The Master Teacher took many of His Illustrations from things in every day life. This time He calls atten tion to the seed that is scattered by Uie farmer. It Is the same kind of seed that falls on the four kinds of oil. The application indicates our reception of that always good seea which is the Word of God. good American families must be kept alive and in health by the help of the rest of us. The Red Cross had five million dollars to start wfth and is asking the American people for ten million more. That is little enough, even though every cent of it goes lor actual provisions and cloth ing, as it does. Are we going to let these people starve? Or will we who have been more fortunate than they come to their rescue? THREE KINDS OF FARMERS Autocaster Service 0 NE of the drawbacks to any dis cussion of the farmer and his problems is the uncertainty as to what sort of farming is under dis cussion. There are three different types of farmer, and in almost ev ery part of the United States all three are to be found side by side. The most widely-distributed type is what may be called the "non commercial" farmer, the great group with whom farming is not so much a business as a mode of liv ing. This type raises no consider able amount of any one "money crop," but grows on his own land the means of subsistence for his family and, counting out the eggs, butter and other marketable pro duce traded in town for store goods, handles very little cash in the course of a year. The group of farmers who are specialists, "one-crop" farmers, is probably the largest numerically and in acreage under fence. They are business men, in the broad sense, producing nothing but a sin gle commodity which they sell or hope to sell, for money, and growing nothing, or almost nothing, which they themselves consume. The sin gle crop may be cotton, tobacco, wheat, corn, oranges, apples, celery or potatoes, depending upon loca tion. Dependent upon their money returns from the single cash crop for everything which they eat and wear, these are the first to feel the effects of a general business de pression and are constantly at the mercy of competition and over-pro duction in their staple crops. This is the type of farmer at whose re- leif most of the political remedies for agricultural ills are aimed. The happiest farmers are the third class, those whose farming operations combine those of the oth er two. They live off the soil and can continue to live independently and comfortably year in and year out, except for natural catastro phies such as floods or drought They grow enough of one or more cash crops to figure as important factors in the produce markets, but failure in any one year to cash in on such crops or livestock does not re duce them to penury or plunge them into debt For forty years and more the Uni ted States and the various State de- Trapshooiers' Queen Miss arie K.autkv oi run Dodge, Iowa, whose official records for 1930 gave her a rating of 9286 average score anar won ner me trophy of the Amateur Trapshooting Association.

The Skin Puzzle An old anecdote has it that a so ciety lady at her bridge game, ask ed her partner, who was a young "skin specialist," why he chose that branch of the medical profession for his life work such a perplex ing sort of diseases, his reply was, "well those cases never get me out at night, they never die and, they never get well." My outstanding case today was a very aggravating case of eczema. A young farmer who came from a place about fifty miles away. I treated him for a similar attack, five years ago, with good success, hence his return after about one month of suffering; he was half mad from the terrible itching. I assume that this will interest such of my readers as have had exper ience with skin afflictions. f Eczema is the outstanding skin disease if we are to judge by the frequency of patients with skin trouble. If one doesn't know his diagnosis very well, he will be cor rect nine times out of ten by call ing it "a form of eczema." Of course the thing the patient partments of Agriculture, as well as the agricultural colleges have been preaching the gospel of diversified farming in the one-crop regions. Every once in a while some natural or economic disaster drives the one crop farmers of a district into di versification, and the result is al ways greater prosperity and sta bility, not only for the farmer but for all the people of his district or state. WE CAN'T AGREE. (Enterprise Record-Chieftain.) WHEN we observe how we have "solved" the many other social and economic problems of human ity, we are not surprised at the lack of agreement as to the best method of handling liquor. The variety of opinion shown in the Wickersham report merely reflects the variety of Pinky Knows Whose Hand is Heavy I'vA GON' HOME KAOM Is GCMN' TO GIVE M A UCKING as Then FAMILY "L U V-T U sV demands Is relief; he doesn't care two hoops about the looks of the thing he wants the itching stopped the sooner the better! And so would you, dear reader. First and foremost, remove ALL sources of irritation. A coarse harsh suit of underwear will render re lief impossible, no matter what the treatment I once Compelled a lady to stop wearing a fur boa, who had an intense eczema that included the skin of her rather long neck. She substituted the softest silk or stayed inside. A very simple skin anodyne-ointment dismissed the trouble. I have seen oases that had to lie on oiled sheets in bed for comfort, in carrying out the idea of remov ing all irritants. And, this idea, this vital point, I wish to impress thor oughly in this letter. It may be soap that you are using change your brand, or use none. Carry out your physician's directions else you are liable to carry an exceed ingly chronic disease for many years. Yes, eczema is a "winter disease," and, this is winter. opinion which has found expression in actual eyperience and practice for many years in efforts to mini mize the evil done by Intoxicating liquor. Similar variety of opinion is seen in every other field. In production and distribution of wealth, we have every conceivable kind of organization from autocracy at one extreme, to communism at the other. Most governments now seek the middle course on the the ory that society gives to each in proportion to what he produces or earns. But there is no general agreement as to what is the ideal state of society and how to achieve it. Look at the conflict of opinion in just one small part of industry, generation and distribution of pow er. Thirty years ago the railroads were "viewed with alarm," as threatening to overthrow popular government and enslave us all, but By TERRY GILKISON ?INKY DAIKY SINGLES, "the eov stoop on Twe BuRNlMeT DECK..

Reid now they have ceased to be a men ace and "power" is the new bogie man. So we do not agree among ourselves at any one time, and we do not hold to one course over any period of time. There are hundreds of religious sects but they cannot keep up with the hundreds of mil lions of sets of individual religious beliefs, for each living soul has his own, and most people are content to let it be so. While each has his own opinion, therefore, on how the liquor busi ness should be handled, no one should expect unanimity of belief and tolerance should be the rule, with the greatest good to the great est number as the objective sought. HARDMAN. A large crowd attended the play, "Rube and His Ma," presented by townspeople at the high school au ditorium February 14th. It was a grand success. Total proceeds of the play amounted to $42 and will be used for the benefit of our Sunday school and church which is under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. B. Stanley Moore. Those who missed "Rube and His Ma" may have the opportunity to see it February 28 at the Rhea Creek Grange hall. Mrs. 'Stretcher arrived at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Gene Lovgren, Friday. She will remain for an extended visit Miss Cecil Stevens, teacher in The Dalles schools, visited at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wess Stevens over the- week end.

Since red squill was first recom mended as a rat poison by the de partment of agriculture, large quan tities of red squill bait have been used. The .Bureau of Biological Survey during the years 1928, 1929 and 1930 assisted in more than 150 cooperative county, city and town campaigns, in which more than 40, 000 pounds of squill bait was used. A carfeul check of results made In moat of these campaigns indicated that a thorough clean-up of rats was made on at least 75 per cent of the premises treated. This record furnishes ample proof of the accep tability and efficacy of red-squill powder as a raticide. In using powdered red squill to destroy rats the choice of bait is most Important. The goal is to de stroy every rat at one application; otherwise survivors become suspic ious and are hard to dispose of la ter. This requires an ample supply of baits that will appeal strongly to the appetites of the rats. Unfortun ately, the tastes of rats, like those of human beings, vary, so that it is not possible to appeal to the palate of every rat with a single food. In order to obtain the best results sev eral kinds of bait should be exposed at the same time, so that every rat will have a choice of foods. The fol lowing directions- for preparing baits are the results of long exper ience of specialists in rat control;. a meat chopper is one of the most at tractive baits for rats. If fresh fish is not available, a cheap grade of canned salmon, canned hiackerel, ; or sardines in oil may be used. Mix 1 ounce of powdered red squill with a little water to form a thin paste free of lumps, add to 1 pound of fish and mix thoroughly. MEAT Mix 1 ounce of powdered red squill with a little water to form a thin paste free of lumps, and add to 1 pound of fresh ground meat and mix thoroughly. Hamburg steak is most commonly used. CEREALS Mix together dry . 1 ounce of powdered red squill and 1 pound of cereal meal, such as oat meal, graham flour, corn meal or bran. Add 1 pint of sweet milk or water and stir to a mushy consist ency. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES Using a pepper shaker, dust pow dered red squill over thin slices of fresh fruit or vegetables and stir or shake as the powder is applied to insure even distribution. A small muskmelon, for example, should be cut into about 16 slices and each slice cut into 3 sections. This will require 1 ounce of powdered red squill and will make 48 baits. Three medium-sized tomatoes or three ba nanas, each cut into about 16 sec tions, may be similarly used for each ounce of squill powder. So far as possible all sources of food for rats should be removed be fore exposing squil baits. Garbage cans should be covered, food hop pers emptied, and all accessible food put into tight containers. The freshly prepared bait should 'be ex posed late in the afternoon in order that it may be reasonably fresh when the rats commence feeding. Every part of the premises where rats are likely to be present should be thoroughly treated particularly those places in which rats have been accustomed to feed. A large num ber of small baits is more effective than a few large baits. Put out the bait in quarter-teaspoon pieces, or in quantities about the size of the average marble. Place them con secutively, first a meat bait, then a fish bait, then a cereal bait, then meat, and so on. In poultry pens it is best to expose the baits in the feeding troughs while the chickens are shut up; or the baits may be exposed behind boxes or boards so leaned against the wall to form a runway for rats that the chickens can not reach them. Baits should be left out for three days, after which all those uneaten should be collected and destroyed. If any sign of live rats Is noted af ter one week, wait two additional weeks and then prebait for several nights before exposing more red squill bait. Prebaiting is important if an unsuccessful effort has pre viously been made to destroy rats. This consists of exposing fresh un treated foods prepared in precisely the same way as the squill baits ex cept that the squill is omitted. These clean baits should be put out at 2 day intervals, and all not consumed should be destroyed the morning following their exposure until the suspicion of the rats has been over come and they take the baits free ly. When this occurs, substitute the squil baits, and a complete clean-up should result. - i V Prill f Beatrice Lillie, tne iauadian-born actress who has become the stage favorite of both London and New York, has been making movies in England.
