IONATHAN BOURNE, erstwhile J United States senator from Ore gon, and we are not all sorry that he Is "ex," has now donned the role of president maker. He has an nounced the candidacy of ex-sena tor Joseph I. France of Maryland for the nomination on the republi can ticket. Bourne claims to be republican, though he supported Al Smith against President Hoover and he now proposes to beat the presdient within his party's ranks, Bourne says the dominant ques tions in the next campaign, 19-( will be liquor, power, farm relief and avoidance of foreign entangle ments, and that Mr. Hoover is all "wet" on each of these. Ever since the memory of man in these United States these have been political issues. Foreign entangle ments was an issue when Washing ton went to the first White House and liquor was always a political issue, even in the days of the colony government Farm relief was an issue when Elisha made two blades grow where one grew before and for his efforts received the jeers of the young hoodlums who cried af ter him as he ascended the moun tain to offer thanks to God: "Go thou up baldheaded, go thou up. Utility power and operations of trusts Is a bit more modern, but all of the Bourne-France issues are as old as the hills and furnish a lot of buncombe for political shysters. But Jonathan knows the value of publicity. In this respect the late P. T. Barnum had nothing on Ore gon's ex-senator. He rode into office in Oregon through advertising, but like all other products which fail to stand the test he crumpled and went Into the discard. Mr. France, no doubt, is a very capable man, but after the convention has met and nominated, it will again be Mr. Hoover. This is our humble predic tion. And when the people have spoken at the polls it will still be President Hoover. UTILITY MAGNATE SUES KANSAS CITY STAB. HENRY L. DAUGHERTY, star stock salesman and promoter of the universe is suing the Kansas City Star and Governor Woodring of Kansas for libel. The suit is the outgrowth of exposures made by the Star and actions taken against the sale of Daugherty stocks in Kansas by the governor. The fight by the Star and Woodring has been waged to bring about a reduction In utility rates in the Corn Husking domain and, of course, is a plan that Is not agreeable with Mr. Daugherty.

SOCIAL SERVICE IN TEE EARLY CHtrRCH- Acts 4:32-35; 6:1-4; II Corinthians 9:1-7. Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D. Christianity is far more than an ideal. Its principles can be put into practice. Calvin Coolidge recently said in one of his daily messages: "It would be difficult to find any where on earth a human being whose life has not been modified in some degree by the Influence of the Christian religion." Thought or ouv era rather than of self is basic. This began with the Founder and every true follower has the same mea. Today the world still needs the fullest expression of Christian so cialism. As people had need In the Jerusalem congregation, provision was made by turning into a com mon fund whatever could be spared. Many quarrels resulted over the dis tribution of money. When the apos tles faced the situation they real ized that their work of preaching was so great that they could not also give adequate attention to the physical needs of the growling Christian community. Then the of fice of deacon was Inaugurated and even were chosen to undertake this special type of service. This office of deacon persists in the church of today and a long line of men and women have thus very honorably served the Lord in helping the poor. Later the gathering of the poor fund was an extensive enterprise, The Council of Jerusalem decreed that Paul, and the other apostles to the nations, should seek funds for the poor In Jerusalem when they ministered abroad. The church In Corinth was held up as an example to Ihe friends in Macedonia quite as we are urged today to measure up to the gift made by another. Thus what are called modern financial pressure methods In raising money eem to be rather old. dailies, the promoter and utility op erator brands the Star and Gover nor Woodring as pursuing a mali cious course and that the Star Is conducting the campaign for no other reason than to maintain a hold upon the people of Kansas. Here are some facts that are more or less interesting aDOUl Daugherty, the man who recently carried full pace advertisements over the country putting himself up on a par with Thomas Edison, as a benefactor to humanity and the country boy who went to the big city and made good. Daughtery has made good with a vengeance it nis success is to be measured in dol lars and cents. He has built up a giant organization and has gather ed under his control millions upon millions. He has driven the small utility out of the field wherever he has gone; he has ruined the small and independent promoter of oil and gas companies; he has financed and dictated Better Business Bu reaus from New York to Texas and through these agencies he has soucht and obtained the ruin of men and investments of thousands. The bureaus have acted as the stool pigeons for the postal inspectors and they have brought about ruin of hordes of concerns that no doubt would have made good and created new wealth for the country and their stockholders. He has juggled rates to suit himself and has inflat ed his stocks and deflated them at will. He has operated the great in vestment house of Daugherty at the expense of his investors and one of these days his house of cards will fall about his head. These are charges that have been made many. many times through the public print and they are charges that are today being made by practically ev ery independent oil and gas opera tor from Pennsylvania to Califor nia. His stocks were boosted beyond all reason. They were sold by Daugherty high pressure methods using Better Business Bureaus throuehout the country to boost their sale. He is a fox, but it is our prediction that other states will follow the lead of Kansas and there will be a lot of water squeezed out of Daugherty securities. There is every reason in the world for the operation of utility organizations. This paper believes that they are a benefactor to man kind. We still believe that private ownership is far better than gov ernment in business and prefer our public utilities privately owned, but we cannot endorse the Daugherty stripe of utility management. Daugherty makes his money selling his own securities, not in manage ment and through the rendering of service. THE COST OF ILLNESS. Autocaster Service. THERE is another thing that is as sure as death and taxes sick ness. The average American man is ill once a year; the average Amer ican woman nearly twice as often; the child of school age twice as often. These are figures taken from a study made by the Committee on the Costs of Medical Care, which is coming to the end of a five-year study of the economic aspects of the prevention of disease and the care of the sick. These illnesses to tal about 130,000,000 every year. Their direct cost in money is com puted by the committee at $3,105,- 000,000. This is a huge cost, reckoned ei ther in terms of time lost or of money expended. The cost would be huge even if we could foresee just when we will fall ill, just how serious the illness will be, or just how long it will last None of those things, however, can be foreseen, and to all the other burdens that illness imposes upon us must be added uncertainty. Uncertainty ex ists not only as to appearance and character of illness, it is even more a factor with relation to cost. No problem enters into the daily lives of Americans that is more serious than this. Medical facilities in the United States are adequate in the aggre gate, perhaps. The committee has found that 1,500,000 people devote their full time to medical care There is one physician to every 126 inhabitants. Over V,uw hospitals have 900,000 beds, which would give every man, woman and child one and one-half days occupancy a year. But neither physicians nor hospitals are evenly distributed; there are places that have too many, and many more that have too few. What can be done about seeing that everybody in the United States has sure and convenient access to the medical care to which he is en titled? What can be done about seeing that those who furnish this care are adequatlcy rewarded for their labor? What can be done about seeing that the means of pay ing for this care are provided for all the people? In the four years which it has already put In upon Its task such progress has been made that ans wers to those questions will soon be submitted to the people of the Unl ted States. There is promise that the formula which will result will be workable. If It Is, then one of the great contributions to civiliza tion of our age will have been made. THE WORLD AND US. Autocaster Service. IT seems to us that a great deal of 1 the talk about the danger of hav ing any relations with Europe is po litical hooey Intended to put the other fellow's party In a hole. There isn't any way that the United Stat es can keep from having relations with Europe and all the rest of the world. "No man liveth to himself alone1 is as true between nations as it Is between Individuals. There was time, when George Washington was alive, before steamships, telegraph, telephones and airplanes had been invented and when the United States was a weak, struggling llttl strip of settlements along the At lantic Coast, when we had a right to be afraid of Europe. But It makes us mad to listen to some of the people today who profess to be afraid that if we, the richest and JSo Tree or Fence in "- TAX PLAINS most powerful nation in the world, have any relations except those of trade with foreign countries, those countries will gobble us right up. The surest way to keep out of a quarrel is to live on good terms with your neighbors. All the world is our neighbor today. When you have a good neighbor who is in temporary difficulties you try to help him that is, if you yourseir are a good neighbor. That is what the United States is proposing to do now in the case of our neighbors in Europe. We don't believe that that sort of thing constitutes the sort of "entangling alliance oi which Washington warned us. The editor serves lamb at least once a week in nis nome ana rec ommends this splendid meat to his fellows. It was the meat of the land when the Christian religion was founded and long before that the ancient Jews dieted heavily up on the nesn or tne iamD. ii was the food that supplied energy for the great warriors of old; the great thinkers and the men who pioneer ed the wilderness. It should be the main meat in these days when strong men are so badly needed. Let us all eat more lamb. Morrow county produces the cream of the flocks.

Finely Ground Grains Prove Best for Hogs Fine grinding has been found to improve the feeding value of oats and barley for hogs materially, in a study just completed at the Ore gon Experiment station and report ed in Station Circular 104, entitled BUD 'n' BUB (OMCLt JEN.LABOT'DAY IS) I ITauNT WIAMIEsTWWCKS) . w (THE WORKING MANS r&P f PAV IS IrJ HONOR.

Did you ever think that your receiving set may lead you headlong into the open arms of the nostrum-vender and quack, solely in the interest of his pocketbook? That you are made poorer and he the richer by your own soft gulli bility? It gives me a first-rate case of nausea to hear the blatant yawp of some hired man for a quack con cern, pleading with me and you to go to the drug store, first thing in the morning and BUY a bottle of germ-killer that knocks 'em in a specified number of seconds! These fellows that never crossed the threshold of a pathological lab oratory in their lives, presume to tell me about "bacteria." They infer off-hand that you and I have a mouthful, neckful, stomachful of potent germs, deadly in character, "Preparation of Oats and Barley for Pigs." In the investigations barley and oats were fed whole dry, whole soaked, steam rolled, finely ground and coarsely ground. Oats were fed to growing pigs under 100 pounds live weight, while the barley exper iments were with fattening pigs weighing about 100 pounds at the start and about 180 at the finish. Good feed grades of barley and oats were used. Grinding miproved the feeding quality of barley even more than of oats, says A. W. Oliver, assistant animal husbandman, who conduct ed the experiments. Steam rolling of barley increased Its feeding val ue 16.5 per cent, or 3.4 per cent more than fine grinding, but is too expensive a process for general Another Unknown Na tional Hero By Albert T Rod AOTOCAST-J-, u u U if not killed off at once by the great bottled savior of mind and body; they juggle handily with laboratory terms, as though they had been raised on test tubes and retorts and chemical reactions; all to get YOU and ME to BUY their gully wash and soak it into our systems. And do we buy it? We certainly do; we buy stuff of which we know absolutely nothing, at the solicita tion of an itinerant who is solely interested in the sum he can extract from your purse, and who knows and cares nothing about the stuff he is paid to peddle. He gets his pabulum into the family, into your children, into you and your wife and if you use it four or six times a day, all the better for the nos trum-vendor.

Summon your horse sense; that's my advice. farm use. Steam rolling of oats lessened their value. Little or no advantage was gain ed from soaking whole oats for growing pigs, or from soaking bar ley for fattening pigs. Coarse grinding of both grains improved their feeding value slightly but not enough to make it an economical practice. Grain was considered finely ground when the particles were so small that It was difficult to distinguish the hulls from the kernels. Most hammer mills of the type commonly used on farms will grind grain finely when a screen with 1-8 inch holes Is used. Burr mills are less suitable for fine grinding, says Oliver. Try a G. T. Want Ad. By ED KRESSY w.ct.u. notes. MARY A. NOTSON, Reporter. Robbins Stoeckel, Commissioner of Motor Vehicles of Connecticut, says: "A really drunken driver is usually not dangerous because he is so easily and quickly detected, or Incapacitated, as being found asleep In his car at the curb. The really dangerous driver is the man who has had one or two drinks only, who still thinks he is in possession of his faculties, but his judgment has been slightly Impaired. On the pub lic highways moderate drinking is more dangerous than Immoderate, and on this account the authorities In order to protect the public safety must reckon with the effects of moderate drinking." "Prohibition," says Henry Ford, "was intended to save the country and generations yet to come. There are a million boys growing up in the United States who have never seen a saloon and who will never know the handicap of liquor either in themselves or their relatives; and this excellent conditions will go on spreading itself over the country when the wet press and the paid propaganda of booze are forgotten. There should be no mistake about it. The abolition of the commercial ized liquor trade in this country Is as final as the abolition of slavery. These are the two great reforms to which moral America committed itself from the beginning of its his tory." The fact that such a large num ber of our young people have never seen a saloon and do not know how hideous it was makes It easy for the wet propagandist to persuade many or them "that things are worse than they were in the old saloon days." This lie, and every one with a memory worth calling a memory, who lived in those days, knows it is a lit, should be combat- ted by all who know the truth. The great pity is that many good people who have forgotten the past, or who were poor observers In the past, are ready to echo this wet lie. Condi tions are not ideal and there Is more liquor in evidence than good citi zens probably thought there would be after ten years of prohibition, but giving currency to wet lies does not aid the cause in the least. Edwin Lewis says: "Drink al ways was a national evil; it always was a social evil; it always was an If baby has COLIC A CRY in the night. Colic! No cause for alarm if Castoria is handy.

Whether it's the stomach, or the little bowels; colic or constipation; or diarrhea. When tiny tongues are coated, or the breath is bad. Whenever there's need of gentle regulation. Children love the taste of Castoria, and its mildness makes it safe for frequent use. And a more liberal dose of Castoria is always better for growing children than strong medicine meant only for adult use. Aches and PAINS When you take Bayer Aspirin you are sure of two things.
