IT'S GOOD TO LAUGH.
T?OR two years the American peo-
1 pie have been groping about In
a mystic maze, wondering what in
blue thunder it was that hit them
on the head to give them the bum
staggers. One economic doctor af
ter another has prescribed a differ
ent brand of headache medicine
and the patient has been humored
into the state of a hypochondriac
One of these days a good old-fash
ioned, common-sense family doc
tor will come along and jab a pin
into the seat of the patient's pants
causing him to start with a howl of
pain, throw his hands over the sore
spot for an instant, and then feel
of himself in wonderment as he dis
covers that there is really nothing
wrong with himself that he has
been suffering under a delusion
and then to laugh.
Or at least he should laugh, for
there is no hope for a patient who
has lost his sense of humor.
With due regard for the sincerity
and earnestness of purpose of Pres
ident Hoover; admitting that the
democrats have the interests of the
nation at heart in attempting to
stick a wet plank in their platform,
and that they will nominate a big,
broad-minded man as their presi-
idential candidate, we are not so
sure that Will Rogers wouldn't be
the best helmsman for the ship of
state under existing conditions. At
least his election should create a
situation to appeal to the nation's
sense of humor. There is no doubt
that his kidding from the sidelines
has done much to keep up the peo
ple's morale.
It may be lamented that Ameri
can capital isn't as good a sport as
the doughboy who mired in the mud
trenches of France among cooties,
Big Berthas and shrapnel to give
that capital a clean bill of health.
The mud was never too deep, the
cooties too thick, the Berthas too
loud or the shrapnel too hot to keep
the American doughboy from find
ing a humorous side to the situa
tion, and much of the nation s fin
est manhood faced the death-angel
on fields of blood-stained poppies
with smile-lined lips. They could
see the irony in fate.
A good indication that at least
part of the American people have
become tired of listening to the
hollow barking of undertaker-faced
statesmen is seen in the nomination
of Henry Fields for U. S. senator
over Brookhart in Iowa. Fields
put on a side-splitting campaign
show that made Iowa people re
member how to laugh. It was all
good, wholesome fun, and they en
joyed it to the tune of giving Fields
a strong majority over the field.
That is one of the most hopeful
signs signalling the end of depress-
-
Sunday School
n n Lesson n n
ion. It may or may not be possible
to imbue American capital with
such a sense of humor and bring it
to It s senses. But that doesn't mat
ter. Money is cowardly, and may
hide out entirely. If it does, it will
destroy itself and our people will
continue to live, possibly without a
few baubles and frills, but happily
so long as they keep their sense
of humor.
A world's championship heavy
weight boxing match: Six weeks of
ballyhoo. A $500,000 gate. Two big
he-men poking at each other for 15
rounds in which one gets a black
eye and is made champion. They
throw arms around each other lov-
ingly. New champ gets $50,000 for
his black eye. Old champ gets
$200,000 for giving it to him. Both
hope to be in fine fettle for another
match as soon as the public for
gets about the last one. Barnum,
old boy, you put it mildly.
This Is Going To Be Good
By Albert T. Reid
AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY.
Autocaster Service.
PERHAPS the most tragic figure
in the world today is not the
exiled King of Spain or the de
throned Kaiser mourning for the
lost glories of the Hohenzollerns,
but the man who only a few weeks
ago was the head of the greatest
light and power industry in the
world and who today is penniless
except for a small pension. Strip
ped of his power and his property,
with all of his private means and
those of his family gone in the ef
fort to save his great power com
bine from collapse, Samuel Insull,
at seventy-four, is going to return
to his native England, to spend his
few remaining years on a pension
of $18,000 a year, $6,000 from each
of three of the corporations which
he formerly dominated.
There have been violent differ
ences of opinion about Mr. Insull's
businss methods and ethics. There
never has been any differences of
opinion about his enormous energy
and his business genius. Born in
England of Jewish parents, he got
his first employment as a stenogra
pher in the London office of Mr.
Edison's very young electric light
company. His reports to Mr. Edi
son were so intelligently phrased
that the inventor sent for him to
come to America as his personal
secretary. That was more than
fifty years ago.
The collapse of the Insull Empire
is of slight consequence. The pow
er companies which he established
and amalgamated will continue to
do business and doubtless to de
velop along the lines of his vision.
And at seventy-four it probably is
not a serious matter to have only
$18,000 a year to live on. It has
been a terrible blow, however, to
the man's pride, and entitles him to
everybody's sympathy. At the same
time, we feel that he is entitled to
a word of praise for his honorable
conduct in sacrificing his personal
fortune rather than remain himself
enriched by the expense of the in
vestors in his securities.

Reviews What we have learned from
Oenesia
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
While Genesis means beginnings
this quarterly review lesson which
covers this first book of the Holy
Bible. No geneologist can calculate
the time involved. In fact Jehovah
was before all time of record. He
was the self-existent cause of all
creation in untold process of time.
Sin is a subject that has a large
place in this book. The Bible as a
whole tells how sin can be par
doned. Genesis 3:15 is called the
First Evangel and is fulfilled in the
atonement of Jesu3 Christ on Cal
vary. While the sin of Adam and
Eve separated them from God, He
at once made provision, through the
work of the Son on the cross.
After the Flood man was given
another opportunity. Redemption
was to come through the Hebrew
people and Abram. Abram proved
his faith in God when he was to
obey what he understood to be the
requirement of the Almighty in of
fering his son Isaac in sacrifice.
Isaac In time did his part though
he was overshadowed by both his
father Abraham and his son Jacob.
Those who appear to play minor
parts are doing work that is essen
tial In the necessary progress of
the plot
Jacob made many mistakes and
paid dearly for them. His ambition
for the birthright was commend
able but his methods were con
temptible. Joseph is one of the most valu
able persons for character study in
the Old Testament. He preferred
a clean conscience In the presence
of God to any impure contact that
would dwarf him as a man. He
went from the pit in Dothan to the
position of Prime Minister In Egypt.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
Autocaster Service.
WAS there ever such a complicat
ed, unsolved mystery plot out
side the pages of a detective novel
than the Lindbergh tragedy and its
ramifications have developed into?
The kidnapping itself was suffi
ciently horrifying. The discovery
weeks later that the little boy had
been ruthlessly murdered was one
of the most gruesome shocks the
American people have ever receiv
ed. The subsequent disclosures of
attempts to profit from the grief of
the agonized parents make one
wonder whether there is any such
thing as honor and decency left in
the world. The total failure of
Federal, state and local authorities
to get any tangible evidence of the
identity of the criminals is almost
beyond belief. Then the suicide of
the servant girl in the Morrow
household, who took poison rather
than face another inquiry by the
police, adds stll another touch of
mystery and tragedy to the whole
affair.
When the whole truth is known,
If it ever becomes known, the plain.
unadulterated, straightforward sto
ry of the Lindbergh affair will take
its place with the classics of de
tective fiction.

Alcohol, Pro and Con
The propagandists are at work
some condemning, some pleading
for alcohol. The family doctor
should be a good, honest judge, with
absolutely nothing up his sleeve in
the way of political crookedness.
He should be the capable, honest
adviser of his patrons who look to
him in all things medical.
Alcohol compounds are extremely
useful and convenient as medicines.
No honest, capable physician will
deny that. But ALL true physi
cians are against alcoholics as bev
erages. Whiskey is a good servant
a bad master. No true physician
with the welfare of his people at
heart will recommend intemper
ance in anything.
I am against propagandists who
will stoop to falsehood in order to
carry out their designs. For in
stance, the fellow who declares that
alcohol is not a stimulant, but a
depressant; that It will stop a heart
or respiratory apparatus rather
than revive It; I've had 38 years of
experience and I know better.
Many hundred times I have re
vived my aged patient when near
collapse with whiskey, combined
with milk and eggs. It was most
convenient and usually acceptable
to the Invalid. I might have used
strychnia, but I liked the effect of
the alcoholic better. Why not use
the one most simple, convenient,
and yet reliable?
All stimulants paralyze and de
press In overdoses, and the alcohol
ic Is no exception; but why use an
overdose? It is the overdose after
all that does harm. But when any
one tells me that whiskey in nor
mal dose is never a stimulant but a
depressant, then I am suspicious of
both his scientific knowledge and
his sincerity of purposehe has an
axe to grind. Our blessings should
and must be used as such.

W.CT.JJ. NOTES
MARY A. NOTSON. Reporter.
The claim of the wets that pro
hibition was "put over" on the peo
ple by some sort of a trick is con
trary to fact. Clifford P. Smith,
editor of the Christian Science Sen
tinel, touches upon this question.
He says, "An important fact often
omitted from discussions of prohi
bition is that most of the United
States had adopted it locally before
the American people adopted it as
a national policy. Prohibition had
advanced step by step from its
adoption by Maine in 1851 to its
adoption by Kentucky In 1919. Con
sequently, when the Eighteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of
the United States became effective
in 1920, the sale of Intoxicating
liquor for beverage purposes was
already prohibited in the District
of Columbia, in thirty-one states,
and in many parts of other states.
In short, approximately seventy
two millions of the American peo
ple, and at least sixty-eight per cent
of the entire population, were liv
ing then in 'dry' territory. Conse
quently, prohibition was not in 1920
an untried experiment; it already
had in this country an extensive
history."
He further says, "The question.
Ought the Eighteenth Amendment
to be either modified or repealed?
can be resolved into more partlcu
lar questions. Is prohibition con
ducive to industry, morals, good
citizenship, and the public welfare?
Would conditions for adults and
for boys and girls be made better
or worse by legalized drink?" No
doubt, many will honestly differ as
to the answers to these questions.
But the persons who are most vocif
erous in their opposition to prohi
bition are not so because they be
lieve that a return of the liquor
business will be conducive to indus
try, morals, good citizenship, or the
public welfare. They expect to
make money out of the business or
they expect to save money by re
duction of income taxes by putting
a tax upon liquor whereby the la
boring classes will pay a large part
of the taxes.
Many of the persons who insist
upon the repeal of the 18th amend
ment will, when asked if prohibi
tion would not be a good thing if
effectively enforced, admit that
such is the case, but insist that it
can not be enforced and therefore
should be repealed. This argument
means that we should surrender to
the criminal element who do not
want to obey the law. It means
that whenever any considerable
number of people want a law re
pealed all they have to do is to go
out and violate the law and encour
age others to do so. Then they will
assert that the law should be re
pealed because it can not be en
forced. The honorable position for
all good citizens to take Is that all
laws should be enforced as efficient
ly as possible as long as they are
on the statute books. The old ad
age is true: "The best way to get a
bad law repealed is to have it rig
idly enforced."
Alfalfa Cut Into Mow.
Corvallls Some Benton county
farmers have been following the
practice of putting hay Into the
barn directly from a chopper In
stead of in the usual manner. The
advantages, according to County
Agent Cy Briggs, are that it occu
pies a much smaller space, is easier
to feed out and there is less waste.
One man dlscovenfed several years
ago that he could put his alfalfa
hay in partially green that way and
have a brown hay after it went
through a heat period. This hay
was greatly relished by his stock.
The danger is that It will get too
hot and cause a barn fire, says Mr.
Briggs.
Control Methods for Squirrels, Go
phers, and Other Rodents
Explained by Expert
Oregon has the reputation of be
ing first in a great many notable
achievements but one of her "firsts"
is a doubtful honor. The United
States bureau of biological survey
is authority for the statement that
no state has a greater variety of
small animal pests than Oregon and
that In consequence it suffers ser
ious crop losses unless constant
effort at control of these pests is
carried out
To help the farmers in this battle
the Oregon Extension service has
just published a revision of a for
mer bulletin which is entitled "Con
trolling Rodent and Other Small
Animal Pests in Oregon." This bul
letin, by Ira N. Gabrielson, assist
ant federal biologist, gives concise
information regarding methods or
combatting the various small ani
mal pests in this state.
For many years the biological
survey, one of the bureaus of the
U. S. department of agriculture,
has been perfecting practical meth
ods of exterminating wild animai
pests and has applied such methods
successfully over a wide area. Here
In Oregon the county agents work
in close cooperation with the sur
vey staff and organize community
campaigns using the methods of
control worked out by the federal
experimenters.
Sixteen small animal pests are
considered in the revised bulletin
just issued. These are ground-
squirrels (Douglas, Oregon, Colum
bian, Piute and Townsand), black
tailed jack rabbits, pocket gophers,
(Willamette valley and white-tooth
ed), woodchuck, mountain beaver,
field mice, house mice, brown rat,
kangaroo rat, porcupine and Ore
gon mole.
Discussion of each pest Includes
description, distribution in Oregon,
life history and habits and control
methods. Copies of the bulletin

ents or direct from the college.
