G.O.P. got it The ancient Greegs had a word, "katharsis," meaning a thorough cleaning out which might apply to the human system or to the hog pen or to a political party. There is nothing that every hu man organization needs so badly, every once in a while, as a complete "katharsis." It is the inevitable tendency of all organized groups, once they achieve power, to become arrogant and to lose sight of the primary purpose for which they were organized. That is true of re ligious, political, financial and all other classes of human organiza tions. All human effort to be effective must be organized. But all organ izations must be reorganized every once in a while. The old leaders must be deposed and fresh blood taken in to the councils, and any organization which does not do this voluntarily is sooner or later forced to do it by pressure from without That, it seems to me, is what has just happened to the Republican Party Organization in America. The time has come for re-organization. Under our two party system the public welfare is best served by the best organized party, which ever It may be. The remedy for the ills of the Republican party is the old Greek one, "Katharsis." Travel . . and metal mike I am writing this just an hour or so before sailing on the Italian liner Rex for my first visit to Europe. Sixty-two is still young enough for a man to go adventuring, if he has the spirit of adventure in him, and I never got over that I am very curious to see whether the foreign cities and peoples that I have read about and studied about all my life look anything like the way I have pictured them. I have knocked about the American Con tinent and up and down the coasts in ships a great deal but never be fore had both the time and the op portunity to cross the ocean. What particularly interests me is the ship on which I am coming back, the Conte De Savoia, This is the first big ship to be equipped with gyroscopic stabilizers, invent ed by my old friend, the late Elmer Sperry. A gryoscope is a hard thing to explain in words. It is hard enough to understand it when you see it working. It is, in effect, a fly wheel so suspended that the axel can tip in any direction. Sperry discovered that a gyroscope al ways tries to put itself in a position where the axel is pointing to the center of the earth. Out of that discovery came the gyroscopic com pass, which always points to the North Pole instead of the magnetic pole as the ordinary compass does. Then came the automatic steering device in which the gyroscope keeps the ship's rudder true to the course. Every really important ship in the world is now steered by "metal mike" as the Bailors call it This same power of the gyroscope is now being used to keep the ship from rolling in rough water. It works well on small craft and I will tell you later how it works on the first big ship to which it has been applied. Chicago next year Jly Chicago friends are beginning to get excited about the "Century of Progress Exposition" which is to be held in the city by Lake Michi gan next year. The muncipality of Chicago is in serious financial stress, but there is still an awful lot of money in Chicago, and prob ably the most intense public spirit that exists in any large city in America. the motto "I will." That is still the Many years ago Chicago adopted Chicago spirit Regardless of hard times the leaders in Chicago's civic life who set out to build the world's greatest fair for 1933 have succeed ed in raising the necessary millions, and from what I am beginning to hear about it I get the impression it will be the most wonderful show ing of the resources, the peoples, the art and the scientific and tech nical development of the whole world that has even been brought together. At least, that is what my Chicago friends say that it will be, and I have never known Chicago to fail when it really set out to do some thing. Money ...... and prices Thirty years ago W. J. Byran nearly captured the Presidency with his economic theory that far mers would get more money for their products if there was more money in circulation. In a new book published by the Century Company or New York, F. M. Hun tington-Wilson, who was "Under Secretary of State in the Wilson ad ministration, handles the same theme, although along different lines. The book is called, "Money and the Price Level. The author points out exactly what President Hoover meant when he suggested that the European debts to this country might be set tled in the currencies of the debtor nations, clearing up that point so that any layman can understand the subject Briefly, Mr. Hunting ton-Wilson argues that the alarm ingly low price levels of wheat and cotton, and of all other farm prod ucts, are now being caused by the high value of the American dollars a3 compared with, the low values of other countries. The book has been written after consultation with many of the lead ing experts on finance in both Oc cidental and Oriental countries, among them being Mr. Rene Leon, widely regarded as the leading for eign exchange and metallic money expert in this country. Frank McDaniel of Hardmau who has been herding sheep for Ray Wright of McKinney creek, was taken to the Veterans' hospital at Walla Walla today where he will receive treatment for a chronic ailment. iiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiii u in iiiiiimtiiiiii milium iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinm This Saturday Dec. 17 SPECIAL DANCE LEACH HAUL LEXINGTON Gents 35c All Ladies 10c Old-Time, New-Time Music Tasty Christmas Cookies Described in New Leaflet Christmas rolls, brown sugar Christmas cookies, Christmas crisps, Christmas orange cookies, Christ mas ginger nuts, Christmas English gingerbread, and Bavarian Christ mas cookies are only seven of the 20 different cookie recipes contain ed in a revised mimeographed leaf let announced by Miss Clarabel Nye, state leader of home econom ics extension, Corvallis.

The project is a cooperative one be tween the United States department of agriculture and the college sta tion. The problem of finding good resistant varieties has been greatly complicated by the fact determined by scientists at the station that stinking smut is a complex organ ism of many different strains acting differently on wheat.

A man was trying to buy a little wooded knoll in the Adirondacks. Between it and the public road was a stretch of meadow land, but he did not want it So before buying he had to make sure that he could get across the meadow land to and from the camp he was Intending to build. He insisted the farmer give him a right of way. When the time came to draw up the deed, the farmer was annoyed by the con stant asking of the purchaser for a right of way. Finally the farmer said: "Didn't you know the law of New York state compels a land owner to give a right of way along the shortest line between the prop erty you buy and the main thor oughfare?" The purchaser learned some Jaw, but a great deal more about religion. He saw that if he kept a little territory of his heart still under his control, Satan could demand a right of way from it out through the rest of his life into the world. If Satan can get a lit tle hold it is not long before he will try to ravage and destroy the whole. No surrender, but that which is absolute is a surrender that counts. We must either give all that we are to Christ or have the grant we do make Him prove ultimately null and void. You are most cordially invited to all our services.
