HAPPYLAND
If I were asked to name the spot
in the United States where the gen
eral industrial and business depres
sion has been felt least I would say,
at a guess, that it is Leonardtown,
Maryland. There may be, and prob
ably are, other communities as hap
pily situatetd but I don't know their
names. .
A young man who has been work
ing in New York, and consequently
has his head full of nothing but
hard times talk, visited his old
home in Leonardtown recently. He
asked folks there how severely the
depression had hit them and the
unanimous response was "what de
pression?" They had not heard
about it in Leonardtown.
When I knew Leonardtown as a
boy, there wasn't any railroad", and
there isn't now. But there were a
lot of contented farmers, raising
watermelons and oysters and to
bacco. Everybody had enough to eat and
to wear, and most had a surplus
besides, and my young friend tells
me that that is exactly the situa
tion of Leonardtown today.
These Maryland country people
never bother about Industries, never
tried to make their county seat a
second Baltimore or Philidelphia,
never got the idea that money
brings happiness. I think they are
pretty sensible people.
GAME
In a good many parts of the coun
try the effort to restock fields and
forests with game birds and animals
in order to provide sport for hunt
ers is meeting with considerable
success. It has been going on for
a long time. I saw the other day a
letter writetn in 1820, from a town
in Vermont, saying that red foxes
were beginning to be seen in that
territory. All the red foxes in
America originated with-a few that
were brought from England late in
the 1700's and turned loose on Long
Island to furnish sport for hunts
men. Today the red fox outnum
bers the native American gray fox
in most of the Atlantic Coast states.
Sentimental people look upon
hunting as a cruel form of sport.
Their Imaginations endow animals
with the same emotional and rea
soning qualities as human beings.
Those who know most about wild
life say that animals have no fear
of death because they are unable to
imagine it, that they run when pur
sued purely from instinct
RELIEF
The most amazing results of the
nation-wide effort to take care of
the unemployed is not the disclos
ure of large numbers of people who
would rather beg than work, al
though that is surprising enough,
but the revelation of human greed
furnslhed by the spectacle of folks
who are very far from being pover
ty -stricken, but who unblUBhlngly
call upon the relief agencies for
money.
I saw a paragraph the other
day In the Wayne (Neb.) Herald
saying that the county commission-
era had adopted a resolution that
no county aid should be given to
paupers who own automobiles or
radios, smoke cigars or loaf In pool
rooms. In New York City it has
been disclosed that hundreds of
men holding steady Jobs have been
drawing regular incomes in addi
tion from the unemployment re
lief funds, through the connivance
of nollticiana.

HE NEVER MADE
MISTAKES
The head of a large Philadelphia
company decided to open a New
England branch. Looking through
his organization, he selected a pru
dent, industrious young man.
"I am thinking of appointing you
our New England manager with
headquarters in Boston," he said.
The young man received the news
gravely.
"I believe it will be a wise move,
sir," he answered. "I never make
mistakes."
"Never make mistakes?" the boss
repeated incredulously. 'My, my,
then I couldn't think of appointing
you. Just imagine how I should
feel, having a man in Boston who
never makes mistakes, when I am
down here in Philadelphia making
them every day."
The young man was not sent to
Boston. He lived out his business
days in an obscure position, minus
errors and minus hits.
One of the most interesting men
of my acquaintance has been wrong
about forty per cent of the time.
I can look back over, his career

TIME

JOHN JOSEPH GAINKMA
TALES OUT OF
SCHOOL
I sat at a medical dinner recently
a meeting of the county society
of which I am secretary. The 77-year-old
chairman sat next to me
he at the head of the table. Parts
of the general conversation I feel
sure may interest my readers.
I asked the president "Doctor,
do you still cling to the idea that
the breast of the fowl the light
meat is easily digested, nutritious,
and good for a sick man?"
The doctor, trying his best to tear
the meat off a drumstick with a dull
fork "Naw, I don't . . . never did."
Another physician, grey-haired:
I've quit recommendin' light meat,
because I'd rather eat shucks my
self." The hot tea-biscuits came along;
they were deliciously put up, brown-
crusted and flaky inside. An X-ray
specialist at my left grew talkative:
Well we used to condemn hot bis
many of our assumptions as a re
sult of the unemployment investi
gations. One of those assumptions
is that everybody would rather earn
money than take charity. And an
other apparently false assumption
is the old belief that graft is con
fined to politicians.
COMMUNISM
Beyond doubt one of the power
ful reasons behind the reluctance
of capital to embark in new enter
prises or furnish additional money
for established industries in the
past two years has been the fear of
Communism.
I am convinced that the over
whelming overthrow of the Labor
Party in England, and the recent
revelations from Russia of the fail
ure of the Soviet program at a' doz
en different points, have had more
to do with restoring confidence
among capitalists and industrial
leaders than almost anything else
which has happened.
No Intelligent person will contend
that our capitalist system of gov
ernment and industry is perfect,
but no intelligent person can deny
that it works better than any other
system which has ever been tried
on a large scale.
AMBITION
I haven't any way of proving it,
but I have a notion that a lot of the
unemployment and consequent dis
tress, especially among the so-called
white-collar workers, is due to
the fact that their parents had the
idea that there was something de
grading in manual work, and
brought up their children to be
bookkeepers, stenographers and of
fice workers generally, instead of
being miners, carpenters or factory
workers like themselves.
It is human nature to think that
the other fellow's job Is better than
your own. It is also a praiseworthy
spirit that makes parents ambitious
to have their children occupy a bet
ter social and economic position
than their own. But when hard
times come the white-collar work
ers are the ones who feel the effect
first and hardest

Earle Wattenburger had the mis
fortune of getting hla eyes filled
with shattered glass while return
ing from Pendelton Saturday. A
small rock, caused by a passing
car, hit the windshield, breaking it
and causing some of the fragments
to go into Earle's eyes. He was
points where he took one stand and
subsequently had to revise it.
Why then has he stayed on top?
First, I think, because he is ab
solutely truthful. What he some
times imagines to be the truth
turns out later to be an error, but
he never consciously hedges for
anything or anybody.
Second, he is always trying. Roll
him in the dust, and he is up in a
minute and starting forward again.
Lay something before him which
you think is pretty good, and he
instinctively reaches for a pencil
and begins to try to improve it
Let him accomplish an objective,
and immediatetly he has set his eyes
on another point further ahead.
Finally, he never wastes any
time in regretting the past "Re
gret," said some one, "takes as
much out of you as a prolonged
drunk."
This man has been an encourage
ment to me. So have the words of
Stevenson, who exclaimed, "God
give us young men who have the
courage to make fools of them
selves." I figure that I am entitled to one
major mistake a week. This is my
quota. As long as I keep within it
I feel all right.
And frequently I run over.

616 to 100 Given as Good
Wheat-Pork Feed Recipe
"Where the cost of 616 pounds of
wheat is less than the price of 100
pounds of hog, it will pay to use
wheat extensively for hog feeding."
This is one of a number of obser
vations on feeding wheat to live
stock made at the recent meeting
of the Eastern Oregon Wheat lea
gue at The Dalels by H. A. Lind
gren, livestock specialist in the
state college extension service, who
spoke on this subject At the pres
ent low pork price wheat must be
about 54c to make it profitable as
major feed for hogs, Lindgren
said. He advised grinding the
wheat and feeding It either with
skim milk or 10 per cent tankage
or fish meal.
For lambs, however, wheat is best
fed whole, Lindgren said. Alfalfa
hay is the best balancer to use with
it though in some sections excellent
results have been obtained by feed
ing some oil cake with wheat
A profitable experiment in pastur
ing lambs on uncut wheat was re
ported at the meeting by R. A.
Thompson of Heppner, who told of
his successful efforts to save several
fields that were top poor to harvest
and thresh. He turned 1500 head of
feeder lambs which weighed an av
erage of 66 pounds into the wheat
At the end of 58 days they were
shipptd east and topped the market
at an average weight of 78 pounds.
Mr. Thompson then turned on an
other flock of 1500 which have since
been put in feed lots on chaff,
wheat and oil cake. A peculiar
thing noted by Mr. Thompson as
well as by others who have tried
pasturing lambs on umart grain is
that they pasture the heads clean
as they go, rather than running
through the entire field.
I never saw harder or better fin
ished lambs than these fattened on
what would have -been waste
wheat," commented Mr. Lindgren.
In addition to the actual gain, of
course, was the Increase In value of
their original weight brought about
by the finishing process."
Xmas Cake and Pudding
Recipes Offered by O.S.C.
The Christmas season Is ap
proaching, and housewives in thou
sands of Oregon homes are weigh
ing out nuts, raisins, citron, cur

pudding.
In preparation for this event,
members of the home economics
staff at Oregon State college have
tested a number of recipes for these
famous dishes and Included them in
a mimeographed leaflet known as
HE 260, which Oregon homemakers
may now obtain free of charge
from home demonstration agents or
direct from the college at Corvallis.
One of the simplest and most
economical of these, and yet one of
the most delicious, is the Oregon

Reform movements, no matter
how strong and efficient they may
be, can never reform the state or
the nation till that reform begins
in the home school. The example
and precept and teaching of the
home, conducted by Father and
Mother.
And after all the home school is
the most important of all schools.
In America we have spent many
millions of dollars in building and
endowing schools, colleges, and uni
versities. We have a great system
of Sunday schools for teaching the
Bible and religion. And we have;
none too many of these Sunday
schools. But it is a sad mistake to
think that these institutions can
give the foundationing and teach
ing and preliminary training which
must begin in the home and which
Drooerlv belong to the home.
Plato was right when he said,
"The most important part of edu
cation is right training in the nur
sery." And yet it is this same part
of education which today in Ameri
ca is being most sadly neglected. In
our earlier days the school of the
home was a very potential factor in
the education. of our children. In
the home, around the family circle,
the youth of the nation were taught
the great fundamentals of morals
and religion. And in the home
school, too, they were assisted in
the preparation of their day school
and their Sunday school lessons,
which gave the training they re
ceived outside the home the sanc
tifying touch and influence of par
ental care.
The present tendency is to trans
fer to agencies outside the home,
the wnole responsibility for both the
secular and religious education of
our children. And the great need
in America today is a revival of
the old-fashioned HOME-SCHOOL
It was a tremendous influence in
building this nation! No matter
how many other schools we have.
they cannot take the place of the
HOME SCHOOL. Unless there is
the right sort of teaching in the
home, no agencies or reform move
! ments can ever make this nation
what it ought to be.

Oregon State College, Corvallis,

egg production per hen, govern

poultry industry is in the most fa

jor farm enterprises, according to
data given in the November report
of the Oregon agricultural exten

The ' general level of prices for
poultry products on October 15 was
110 per cent of the pre-war 5-year
average, which was higher than
any other group of farm commod

with 95 per cent of the pre-war.
Meat animals were 79, fruits and
