BLESSED ARE THE
COMPETENT.
An important New Yorker called
me up to ask about two doctors
who run a clinic in a little town in
Canada. He knew that I had visited
them some years ago and that they
did me much good.
I described them to him in the
words of one of their patients.
"They are human ferrets," I said.
"They seem to be able to discover
and correct conditions where even
specialists have failed."
The man went up to the clinic
and stayed three weeks. Yesterday
he telephoned me to say that he
had not felt so well in years. He
was so enthusiastic that I could
hardly get him off the phone.
I sent another man up to Bill
Brown's health farm opposite West
Point. The man is vice president
of a business that has had plenty
of problems. He was nervous and
discouraged. He came back from
Bill's on the top of the world.
I referred a friend to an archi
tect who has done some very clever
work for us on our country house,
f My friend was delighted.
The doctors write me letters of
thanks. So does Bill. So does the
architect. They think I have done
them a friendly service. I reply
that, on the contrary, the obligation
is entirely on my part. They have
given me one of the best pleasures
in life, the pleasure of recommend
ing someone who is really competent.
How seldom we have that pleas
ure. What a discouraging lot of
applications we receive from men
who want to do something but have
never done anything really well.
It is time for someone to reprint
and redistribute Elbert Hubbard's
"Message to Garcia." It tells, you
remember, how President McKin
ley, when the Spanish war broke
out, needed to get Immediate word
to the leader of the Cuban Insur
gents, General Garcia.
Some one told the President
there was a man named Major A.
S. Rowan who could find Garcia.
Major Rowan took the letter, ask
ed no questions, sought no direc
tions or advice, but quietly and
promptly set sail for Cuba, made
his way through the wilderness and
delivered the letter.
Hubbard sang his praises. "Civ
ilization Is one long anxious search
for just such indivdiuals," he ex
claimed. "Anything such a man
asks shall be granted. He is want
ed in every city, town and village
in every office, shop, store and
factory. The world cries out for
such: he is needed and needed bad
ly the man who can "Carry a Mes
sage to Garcia'."
I do not think that humanity is
inherently selfish or hardboiled. I
think there are many business men
who would like to help their fellows
to better jobs and more business.
But so few of those who want help
have ever delivered anything.
Now and then comes one who
does deliver. And what a Joy it Is
to recommend him!
FORD
The best news I have seen In the
papers in a long time is the an
nouncement that Henry Ford is
about to start production on a new
line of cars. Lots of people have
been waiting to make up their
minds what car to buy this spring
until they see the new Ford. I
think there is going to be a big
rush for new cars of all makes as
soon as the new Ford models are
rhown. Most of the cars now in
use are pretty well shot, and now
that the definite upswing in busi
ness and industry has begun, this
ought to be the biggest year ever
in the automobile business, for Ford
and for everybody else who makes
a good, low-priced car.
And the number of men who will
go back to work in the Ford fac
tories will make a big dent in the
unemployment situation.
WALLACE
The death of Edgar Wallace, most
prolific writer of detective fiction,
is a personal loss to hundreds of
thousands of Americans who have
been in the habit of reading every
new Wallace book as soon as it
came out No writer ever lived
who produced such an Immense vol
ume of entertaining stories of such
uniformly high quality. Wallace
frequently worked on three or four
books at once, dictating each to a
different stenographer, and more
than once wrote an entire full-sized
novel in less than a week. He was
never at a loss for a plot, and his
characters carried the stamp of re
ality. Edgar Wallace was a giant of a
man. of apparently limitless physi
cal energy, but even the strongest
is not proof against pneumonia.
There are many other good writers
of flrst-rato detective stories, but
none who has Wallace's energy and
capacity for rapid work.

HOW TO SAVE CASH
TOLD FOR DAIRIES
In the world, with something like
thirty thousand students and a
staff of three thousand professors
and instructors.
There are a good many people
who think that Dr. Butler talks too
much, but they are mainly folks
who don't like what he says. There
is no stauncher defender of the
fundamental principles of democra
cy than he. And I do not know of
anyone who had a sounder or more
complete foundation of education
to begin with, or who has made as
good use of it, as Nicholas Murray
Butler. His Influence over thirty
successive graduating classes of
Columbia will live for generations.
SILVER
Now that the major financial
problems of the nation are rapidly
being cleared up, attention In
Washington is focusing again on
the monetary position of silver, or
which I have spoken before In this
column.
Senator Plttman of Nevada has
introduced a bill for the purchase
by the government of five million
ounces of silver a month, to be paid
for in silver certificates. That prob
ably will not be done in just that
way, but I know so many people
in influential financial and political
circles who believe that something
must be done to restore silver to its
money position, and who are work
ing so hard and intelligently tow
ard that end, that I believe we shall
see something effective done about
it before very long.
NAMES
TInrter the common law which
nrevalls throuehout most of the
ITnlted States, a Dcrson's name Is
anything he or she chooses to make
It after arriving at the age or Inde
pendence. If I wanted to call my
aelf Solomon Grundv and so an
nounced, that would be my name.
It would not be necessary lor me to
ask the permission of any court or
legislature, though I might get in
to trouble if I changed my name to
evade the laws, civil or criminal.
.lames Branch Cabell, famous
American author, has just made the
public announcement that his name
is now simply Branch Cabell. Col.
Frank Knox. Dublisner or tne uni-
cago Daily News, just appointed
head of the President's anti-hoard-
Intr commission was christened
William Franklin Knox, but he pre
fers to be known as ranK unox,
and that Is therefore his legal
name.
President of the United States
have changed their names. Grover
Cleveland was Stepnen u. Cleve
land as a young man, ana wooa
m Wilnnn was Thomas W. Wil
son. Herbert Clarke Hoover has
changed his name to plain Herbert
Hoover, with wnicn ne signs an
-melnl rlnenments. Durine the war
King George of England changed
the surname of the royal family
from Wettln to winasor, ana nis
remains, the Battenberes. are now
the Mountbattens. Your name is
whatever you call yourself.
Euiene Two demonstrations
with the control of weeds by use of
drv sodium chlorate have been
started through cooperation of
Lane county farmers with County
Asent Fletcher. On the Stewart
Hurd farm at Coburg this method
Is being tried with quack grass, ap
plying the chemical in the winter,
On the J. A. Noher farm near
Springfield, tests with Canada this
tles have been startea.
Corn for Small Operator Said to
Reduce Feed Expense; Sest
Root Crops Described.
An opportunity for small Oregon
dairymen especially to reduce their
cash costs materially this year is
pointed out by E. R. Jackman,
crops specialist of the college ex
tension service. This is possible, he
says, through substituting corn for
the usual spring small grain crops.
"Where a dairyman ordinarily
plants from 10 to 20 acres of
spring oats his expense for harvest
ing and threshing is bound to re
quire a cash outlay fairly high com
pared to the value of the grain ob
tained," Jackman pointed out
"Good acclimated corn varieties
will usually produce around 800
pounds more grain per acre than
the spring small grains, and can.be
grown from seeding time to harvest
without a bit of actual cash outlay
except for the seed itself."
This plan is especially workable
where alfalfa hay is grown, says
Mr. Jackman, as corn makes an ex
cellent grain feed with that type of
hay. Then by adding either roots
or kale as succulent feed, a farmer
may provide practically hia whole
year's supply of dairy feed with lit
tle or no outlay for labor or spec
ial services such as threshing.
Many inquiries have been re
ceived at the college as to the best
root crops to use. This varies
greatly with section of the state,
the crop men say. Coast regions
are now turning almost solidly to
the Bortfield turnip introduced by
the Astoria experiment station. Co
lumbia county favors these, and
many are grown successfully In
Washington county as well. Else
where they are uncertain with few
er field tests having been made.
In the Willamette valley the fa
vored general purpose root crop is
the Giant Half Sugar variety of
mangel beets. This variety is wide
ly adapted and produces good
yields. East of the mountains in
the irrigated sections mangels are
good where curly top disease is not
a serious factor, but where it is
much better results are had with
one of the heavy yielding sorts of
stock carrots. Carrots are also the

easiest to store where climatic con
ditions prevent the roots staying in
the ground through the winter for
use as needed. Best mangel va
rieties at the Union station are

and Giant Half Sugar, In that or

Enterprise Fall farrowed pigs
ready to market in 5 months is
the record made by Lawrence Pratt
of this section. Mr. Pratt has fol
lowed the sanitation plan for erad
ication of round worms in hogs as
worked out by the federal depart
ment of agriculture and introduced
here by County Agent Donaldson
and the state college livestock ex
tension specialist Other growers
have found that this sanitation
plan has reduced their pig losses as
much as 80 per cent
