A SERIOUS INDICTMENT.
(Autocaster Service)
PERHAPS the most shocking rev
elation that has been made pub
lic for many years Is the report by
the Wickersham Commission on
Crime and Punishment of the way
in which child offenders under Fed
eral laws are misused, neglected,
even tortured in various state penal
institutions to which they have
been sent by the Federal courts.
The Federal government main
tains prisons for adult offenders,
but has to turn children who are
convicted of violating Uncle Sam's
laws over to state and county in
stitutions. Investigators report that
in some of these prisons they are
placed in damp, unsanitary, dark
cells, in others mixed with harden
ed adult criminals, in others prac
tically starved, and in others beat
en and otherwise mistreated fqr the
slightest infraction of discipline.
If anything can turn a boy or girl
of 15 or so into an habitual criminal
it is prison treatment such as that
These children have done nothing
to merit any such treatment. It is
only occasionally, to be sure, that a
minor comes under the ban of the
Federal laws. These young prison
ers have been found guilty of run
ning a stolen automobile across a
state line, which is one of the most
recent crimes under Federal laws,
or of acting as messenger for drug-
peddlers, again crossing a state
line, or of other inter-state acts
which, while serious enough, do not
call for such brutal and heartless
treatment as these youngsters get.
If the United States Government
must send children to jail, then let
the Federal authorities establish
their own prison for minors and
see that they are humanely treated.
TOO MANY GOVERNMENTS.
(Autocaster Service)
ONE reason for the rapid increase
of taxes is in the increasing
number of governments and gov
ernment officials which the taxpay
ers are called upon to support
Governor Roosevelt of New York
recently pointed put that no citizen
of that state can live under fewer
than four governments, and many
of them live under no less than ten
different sets of public officials.
There are the Federal, State,
county and city governments, as a
minimum. "If one lives in a town
outside of a village he is under five
layers of government: Federal,
State, county, town and school. If
he lives in an incorporated village
another layer is added. If he lives
in a town outside of the village he
may be in a fire, water, lighting,
sewer and sidewalk district, in
Sunday School
" n Lesson u
International Sunday School Lesson for
August
SAUL CONVERTED.
Acts 9:1-9; 17-19; I Timothy 1:12-14
Rev. Samuel D. Price. D. D.
The greatest man in all human
history is presented in this and
subsequent lessons during the re
mainder of the year. We met him
first when he voted for the stoning
of Stephen and then was caretaker
of the garments of those who had
part in the killing.
Many others in Jerusalem and vi
cinity were persecuted because they
asserted belief in Jesus Christ as
the Messiah. Saul was a leader in
this cruelty. Learning that there
was a growing colony of Christians
in Damascus, letters were obtained
from the Sanhedrin to the leaders
in the Damascus synagogue giving
authority to search out both men
and women in that city who were
open In their acknowledgement of
the new Way of Faith and Practise.
There is plenty of time to think
when making a Journey of 140 miles
In the manner of travel of the first
century. Meditations en route pre
pared the mind for the wonderful
revelation that came from the
' Throne of God to Saul as he ap
proached the city of his destination.
Though it was high noon the glory
of God outshone the sun and Saul
fell prostrate to the earth. Jesus
Christ spoke directly to this perse
cutor and forthwith the man who
had been a terror to so many Is
quiet as a little child and asks for
Instruction in the greatest subject
of life.
This director of men finds himself
helpless, for he has been blinded
and must trust to a friendly hand
for guidance into the city. Three
days are given to look at the light
of life while the eyes are useless.
Then Ananias comes as a messen
ger of hope and prophecy. Sight Is
restored by another miracle and a
commission is given which makes
this Saul the apostle to the Gentiles.
It was all new and strange but this
converted servant of the Lord says
in the Golden Text, "I was not dis
obedient unto the heavenly vision,"
Acts 26:19.
which case there are ten layers of
government," said Governor Roose
velt Similar conditions exist In every
state. Most of the work of admin
istration could be done by half as
many people as are employed at the
public expense, merely by merging
the different governmental units.
Dr. C. J. Galpia, sociologist of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
suggests the consolidation of town.
ships, small villages and even of
counties. This is necessary in many
rural districts, he says, if adequate
modern facilities for education and
other community enterprises like
nospitais, libraries, parks, play
grounds, churches, Are companies,
and the like are to be available. He
estimates that it takes a commun
ity of at least a thousand families
to support up-to-date facilities of
such kinds. If he is right then
there is no way out for small com
munities except such a merger of
interests as Dr. Galpin and Gov
ernor Roosevelt propose.
County government in general Is
not very satisfactory anywhere In
the United States. It is natural
that people give their first atten-
tion to their local, town, village or
city government They do not in
many sections, have occasion often
to come in contact with their coun
ty governments. If all the func
tions now delegated to local com
munities became the business of
the county as a whole, perhaps the
effect would be beneficial not only
in making county officials more re
sponsive to public opinion but in
lessening the burden of multifar
ious taxes and superfluous public
officials.
Of course, the professional poli
ticians will resist any movement of
this sort They will always resist
any movement which reduces the
number of office-holders and so re
duces the number of prizes they
can hang up for their partisans to
scramble for. But local govern
ment ought not to be the plaything
of politicians, and the time will
come when it will not be.
It was indeed a pleasure to the
Gazette Times force to have the
"Old Timer" lend his bit to the
county's leading family journal
during his short sojourn recently.
The Old Timer started his Journal
istic career, which later caused him
to move among celebrities of the
"game," right here in Heppner.
Journalism has become, if any
thing, less vital now than it was in
the "good old days" when the news
paper editor took it upon himself
to settle everything from an inti
mate family quarrel to a presiden
tial election. The "old school" of
newshawks suffered little con
straint in style or theme and they
lived close to the heart-throbs of
the people. . . . And they learned
to pound out copy by the ream. The
Old Timer left us Saturday, but he
hung his regular "stint" of copy on
the hook before taking off. We ap
preciate this, and hope you will,
too.
"In the town where I came from,
the fellow who didn't belong to the
town fire-fighting crew didn t rate
very much," said one fellow the
other day. There was a time like
that in Heppner, too in the good
old days when the boys got out and
trotted to the fire with hose carts.
Hose - cart tournaments between
towns kept competition rife then.
But where could be found a place
to race the trucks of today?
Twenty per cent reduction of
taxes in Morrow county seems

Poorly Adjusted Thresher
Cause of Loss, Says O.S.C.
Whether the crop to be threshed
is wheat, oats, barley, vetch, peas
or some other grain, it's always a
good idea to insure against crack
ing and other losses by checking up
on some of the more important
adjustments of the thresher or
combine before beginning the Job.
In either the stationary thresher
or the combine, cylinder adjust
ments require the most careful
watching, says D. D. Hill, associate
agronomist at the Oregon Experi
ment station. It is absolutely es
sential, for Instance, that the teeth
on the cylinder concaves be exactly
straight, and that there be very lit
tle end play in the cylinder. Unless
there is exactly the same amount
of clearance on each side of the
cylinder teeth when they pass be
tween the concave teeth, either
some of the grain will be cracked
or will go through the cylinder
without being thoroughly threshed.
The correct speed of the cylin
der, another important item, de
pends upon the type and condition
of the grain to be threshed. The
normal speed for wheat and barley
Is from 800 to 1000 revolutions per
minute, says Hill, but for grains

Detroit
such as vetch and peas containing
large amounts of straw, the speed
is reduced to around 600 revolu
tions per minute. This Is done
without reducing the speed of other
parts of the machine If threshing
of these crops can be done with the
concave teeth removed, less crack
ing of the threshed product will
result.
Other parts of the machine also
require watching if a good job of
threshing is to be done, Hill says.
It is necessary to have the machine
level for the proper operation of
the screens and riddles, and correct
adjustment of the air blast is im
portant. Immature grain or green weeds
passing through the machine are
likely to clog the straw riddles, and
cause the grain to be carried out
with the straw.

SUGAR REVIEW
My patient readers may be possi

here advanced. Let me say at the
outset that I very seldom peddle
the ideas of others at least I sel

herein expressed is borrowed from
current literature.

in the treatment of heart disease
and stomach ulcers, with table su
gar. If I had these sort of com
plaints, I'd consult my doctor as to
how to use the sugar. You know,
sugar is one of our staples.
The value of sugar In relieving
fatigue and supplying quick energy
also has scientific endorsement. The
Vienna authority is believed to be
the first to suggest the use of sugar
in the treatment of certain, widely
prevalent diseases. He, (Dr. Richt)
claims to have used sugar In the
treatment of stomach and duodenal
ulcers, with good success. He no
