WEALTH EVERYWHERE BUT
NO MONEY.
IN a world full of wealth we have
no money. That, it seems to us
sums up the present economic sit
uation of the United States and of
most of the rest of the nations, so
far as we know anything about
them.
It doesn't take much actual mon
ey to transact the world's business
when people are more anxious to
buy than they are to sell. Money
moves faster and so does work un
der those conditions. A dollar that
changes hands ten times a year is
as useful as ten dollars that only
changes hands once a year.
We didn't need so much money
when everybody had confidence in
the banks. Checks did the work
of currency. In these times, with
money moving slowly, with more
sellers than there are buyers, with
thousands of banks closed and pub
lic confidence in all banks still se
verely shaken, we find ourselves
without enough currency to do bus
iness. The natural result is that
our basic money, gold, has gone up
so high in price that most people
have difficulty in converting their
labor and commodities into gold.
Gold is the basis of our money and
that of the other principal nations.
And it is increasingly clear that
there is not enough gold in the
world to meet the world's need of
money.
Many able economists and states
men say that a large part of this
money trouble is due to the fact
that silver has been almost abolish
ed as money since the war. They
say that if the monetary position
of silver, which is the money basis
for more than half of the world's
population, could be restored to
what it was in 1914, there would
be plenty of good money available
for all the world's needs. Few want
to revive the old scheme of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at
any fixed ratio to gold, but we see
no reason why silver should not be
used again as freely as it was in the
years before the war, by all the na
tions of the world for money. We
think the world economic confer
ence, which is going to meet and
discuss this subject, has been too
long delayed, and we hope that,
when it is held, the American dele
gates will insist upon the rehabili
tation of silver.
President Hoover, in his latest
message to congress, seems to give
encouragement to the silver advo
cates, and they fully expect to have

Lesson a
By Rev. Charles E. Dona, D. S.
God's Gift to Man.
Lesson, for December 25th. Luke
2:8-20.
Golden Text: John 3:16.
How human is the Christmas
drama! Bethlehem, with its stout
farmers, its petty governors, its
brutal soldiers, its priests, its idlers,
preoccupation and all forgetful of
Joseph and Mary, is human in its
selfishness. The rugged shepherds,
simple men of the open air close
to the soil, are human, too. The
Magi also, on their camels, one a
scholar, one a soldier, the third a
merchant, impress us as true rep
resentatives of humanity. But that
which appeals to us as most hu
man and lovable is the holy Child
and its sweet mother!
The celebration of Christmas is
also profoundly human. It is a day
of the home, of gift-giving, of fun
and Jollity, of friendship. Peculiar
ly dear is it to children, the most
human of all God s gifts.
But rich as is Christmas in hu
man attributes, it is grander than
humanity. It expresses a mightier
love, a more majestic music than
flesh can reveal. The shepherds
heard an angel song that rang out
of heaven. The Wise Men saw a
star that never Bet. And Mary
brought into the world a new Life!
To interpret all this aright we must
pass from the human to the divine.
We must realize that God came
into human life with the advent of
Jesus. Thus the entire course of
history was completely changed.
His birth year is the year One, the
central point of time.
This divine note, moreover, runs
through our celebration of Christ
mas, The home, whir h Christmas
glorifies, is a divine Institution. The
child is a gift from above. Every
mother Is a partner with God in
His creative activity. Our Christ
mas decorations are heavenly and
reflect a God of Love.
So Christmas Day is both human
and divine, a union of man with
God, earth with heaven. This un
ity makes it the best day of the
year. We shall then be responsive
to the needs of our fellows. But
we shall look up, hearing again the
angels, viewing once more the star.

NO TIME TO STOP HELPING.
A CCORBING to Newton D. Bek-
er, there are at least 25,000
families in America and more than
200,000 individual young boys and
young men who have become prac
tically tramps as a result of the
economic depression. Without any
means of support, unable to find
work, and with no fixed homes,
they are wandering about the coun
try living on the charity of strang
ers, often in shacks and hobo
camps, under the most appalling
conditions of destitution, hunger
ana exposure to the elements.
It is only a step from this hobo
life to a life of crime. And it is
extremely difficult to reclaim boys
and men who have become accus
tomed to a life of irresponsible idle
ness, back into the ranks of self-
supporting workers.
On the whole, the morale of the
people of the United States thru
out the depression has been magnl
ficent We have heard very little
of any desperate mobs or revolu
tionary uprisings such as have oc
curred in some other countries.
One reason for this is that every
body who could possibly spare mon
ey or food or shelter has contribut
ed to help the less fortunate tide
over the crisis. This winter may
prove to be a more serious strain
upon the charitable resources of
our people than any in the past, but
this is not the time to stop helping,
Locally, we can express pride in
the manner in which the relief
committee has been doing its work
Heppner has never intentionally al
lowed any within her borders to
suffer for the necessities of life,
and will not do so this winter. Var
ious organizations of the commun
ity are uniting to make this Christ
mas season one in which the needy
will receive substantial aid, instead
of spending funds for treats as
heretofore. Shoes, stockings, and
such like gifts will be handed out
to those who are in need of them
and there will also be substantial
gifts in food and fuel.
These hard times will pass in
fact they are passing, and another
season should bring them to an
end. We think our people will be
able to look back with some mea
sure of pride on the manner in
which the depression has been met.
This wjjl be a pardonable feeling
lor the nation at large, as well as
for the folks in the local commun
ities, DAIRY COSTS LOSE
RACE WITH PRICES
Third Year of Survey Compleltod
Showing Wide Range Exists
In Production Figures.
Much as the cost of producing
dairy products on Oregon farms
has been reduced, it has not kept
pace with the nosedive made by
the selling prices of these products.
The extent of this spread is accu
rately shown in the report of the
third progress report of the three
year study of the cost of produc
ing dairy products in Oregon just
completed by the dairy and farm
management departments at the
Oregon experiment station.
This latest report is for the year
ending April 1, 1932, and includes
compiled data gathered from 464
farms having 8224 cows producing
about 2 1-2 million pounds of but
terfat in the year.
This report shows that the cost
of production has been progressive
ly reduced from 50 cent3 a pound of
butterfat to 40 cents and then to
36 cents for the three years studied.
Meanwhile the average selling price
for the same three years dropped
from 51 cents, to 41 cents and then
to 30 cents. Thus for this third
year the average selling price, re
duced to a butterfat basis regard
less of how the milk was market
ed, was six cents below the average
cost of production, while for the
other two years a slight margin of
profit was shown.
Cost of production as expressed
here includes, of course, wages at
prevailing figures for the dairyman
and his family and 5 per cent in
terest on capital investment. The
cash cost, which will be shown in
a later complete report, is consid
erably below the 36-cent figure.
Once again the survey, obtained
through actual records kept on
each farm, reveals that central Or
egon "irrigation dairymen" are
producing butterfat at the lowest
cost in the state, the figures show
ing 33 cents for the irrigated reg
ions, 35 cents for the coast sections
and 39 cents for the Willamette
valley.
A wide range in individual farm
costs is shown in the figures for the
Willamette valley where the 25 low
cost farms produced at an average
figure of 24 cents while the 35 high-
cost farms showed a 60-cent aver
age. Factors contributing to this
great spread will be shown in the
final detailed printed bulletin be
ing prepared for publication be
tween now and July 1.
Sheep Losses Stopped
Belevue Prompt action by Wil
liam Pauison, local farmer, assisted
by the Yamhill cou..ty agent and a
federal veterinary specialist from
Corvallls, has resulted In checking
severe sheep and goat losses and
furnishing future protection on
Paulson's place. Some sheep and
goats were found badly infested
with liver flukes and similar para
sites resulting from pasturing
marshy land where the alternate
snail host of the flukes abound.
Both sheep and the pasture were
treated, the latter with powdered
blue vitrol which destroys the
snails and eliminates further dan
ger. D. A. Wilson had to remain home
from the store for a few days this
week owing to illness.
The Great Trade-In
Navies ... . and ships
I crossed the Atlantic with Ad
miral Alberto Alessio of the Ital
ian Navy, whose duty was to report
on the usefulness of the biggest of
all Italian merchant vessels for na
val purposes in case of war.
"All of the world's shipbuilding
is" under the control of men whose
chief preoccupation is war," said
one expert. "No important ship
can be built anywhere today with
out government subsidy, and the
subsidy is to enable the navy to
control the design and construction
of the ship, so it can take it over
for fighting purposes if necessary,"
"Yes; and the United States is
the most rigid in its requirements,"
said another, an American. "Our
admrials sit in Washington and try
to make every commercial vessel
built in America into a warship
One result is that we have trouble
competing, in cargo carrying and
passenger traffic, with ships of oth
er nations.
Perhaps the world will sometime
get out from under the fear of war,
but not if men whose livelihood is
earned by preparing for war have
their way.
Wireless . . in thirty years
Thirty years ago I stood with
Marconi on Table Head, Cape Bre
ton Island, and listened to him pre
dicting what his wireless tele
graphy would some day do. It had
n't done anything up to then. ,
"Every, ship on the ocean will
have it," he said. "Passengers will
get the news of the whole world
every day."
It sounded incredible then. It is
still a marvel, for his boast came
true. I am writing this in mid-
ocean on the Rex. A few minutes
ago I read the complete report of
the day's price fluctuations on the
world's principal stock exchanges,
received by wireless and posted on
the ship's bulletin board. Just now
a boy brought to my cabin a daily
newspaper, printed on the ship and
containing the most important news
of the day from America and Eu
rope. If I wanted to I could go up to
the Marconi room and telephone to
my folks back in America, Marconi
didn't dream that particular devel
opment of wireless; the radio tel
ephone is due to Lee de Forest, an
American who set out to improve
on Marconi's work.
Some time next year or later,
perhaps It will be possible for
travellers at sea or elsewhere not
merely to talk with folk at a dis
tance but to see them. Television
is "just around the corner."
Courage, demand of sea
It Is impossible to cross the At
lantic, if one is of thoughtful tem
perament, without marvelling at
the courage of those who first sail
ed across it. Columbus's largest
ship, the Santa Maria, was less than
100 feet long; five hundred Santa
Marias would not take up any more'
room than the single great ship on
which I am writing this.
It took him more than two
months to make the voyage we are
completing In six days; two months
of uncertainty and utter loneliness.
For nothing can be lonelier than
the open sea. For three thousand
miles, we on the Rex saw no sign
of life outside of our Bhlp; we sight
ed no other ship, saw not a single
gull or other bird, not even a
whale.
Police Commissioner Mulrooney
Season
of New York and I stood at the rail,
looking out over the empty ocean,
and debated whether Columbus or
Lindbergh showed the most cour
age. We agreed that Lindy took
the greater chance, but that Colum
bus took the greater responsibility.
We left it that they were both brave
men.
Tunney a model
Crossing the Atlantic one of my
fellow-passengers was a Yale pro
fessor, who told me that almost the
entire faculty of that university
felt the greatest admiration for
"Gene" Tunney, retired heavy
weight boxing champion. Gene took
some special courses at Yale, and
has lectured to student classes on
Shakespeare,
"What we admire about Gene is
his character and his intelligence in
developing his native ability," said
my ship-board acquaintance. "If he
had never been a professional pug
ilist he would have risen to the top
in some other line. He set out to
make himself independent while
still young, and devoted all of his
physical powers to that end. Then
he had sense enough to quit the
ring and devote himself to the de
velopment of his great mental pow
ers. He made a place for himself
among people of culture and refine
ment "That is a far rarer achievement
and more difficult than becoming a
world's champion in sports."
And that is something few young
men can understand. Youth seldom
realizes that after the physical
powers have waned life holds little
happiness for the man who has not
ultivated his mental garden, while
for those who have taken that pre
caution for the future, the later
years bring more precious and sat
isfying fruits than youth ever
dreams of.

REFLECTIONS
The end of the year is to me a
time for sober thought naturally
of me and mine . . . and, that in-
ciuaes you, dear reader, for you
are in a sense mine, every time you
read one of these little feature ar
ticles. For the time we are of one
family, whether we agree on every
thing, or whether we snarl and
pout over some disputed point un
der discussion. . . . We are more
than friends we are brothers and
sisters; we cannot get away from
the fact. . . .
Time to settle bills at the years'
end. How much more do you owe
to your family doctor? How much
for his "days of danger, nights of
waking," that you might be more
comfortable and more fit for the
stern trials of your own life?
There are thousands today, who
do not have the cash to meet the
well-thumbed page in the doctor's
ledger. But, don't you owe him
more than that? Haven't you time
to sit down and think how good
he has been in your hours of trial
and and couldn't you Just kneel
down tonight at your bedside and
ask God to bless him? It would
mean so much for htm I know.
There is not enough sordid gold in
the world to buy the answer to Just
one little prayer. Did you ever look
at It that way?
The family doctor may be liken
ed to a shepherd who gives his life
"for the sheep." I have seen this
faithful servant of man, tenderly
caring for the lambs as if they
were his very own. I can. think of
no type of service more consecrated
more self-sacrificing. Naturally
I cannot imagine a service more
deserving of reward. That's why I

periences of "The Man Nobody Knows"
To be Cheerful and Happy
Jesus was the center and soul of
a glorious existence; a pringer of
news so wonderful that those who
received it should be marked by
their radiance as by a badge. Of
course he disregarded the narrow
code of the Pharisees.
"You shall walk only so far on
the Sabbath,' said the Code. He
walked as far as he liked.
"These things you may eat and
these you shall not," said the Code.
"You're not defiled by what goes
into ,your mouth, he answered
but by what comes out."
"All prayers must be submitted
according to the forms provided.
said the Code. "None others are
acceptable."
It was blasphemy to him. His
God was no Bureau, no Rule Mak
er, no Accountant "God is a spir
it,' 'he cried. "Between the great
spirit and the spirits of men
which are a tiny part of His no
one has the right to intervene with
formulae and rules."
He told a story which must have
outraged the self-righteous mem
bers of his audience. He said that
a certain man had two sons. The
elder, a perfectly proper and per
fectly uninteresting young man,
worked hard, saved his money, and
conducted himself generally as a
respectable member of society.
The younger son was a reckless
ne er-do-well, who took his portion
of the estate and went into a far
I country where he led a wild life
aiiu yi-eaenuy was penniless ana re
pentant. In that mood he proceeded
to work his way back to his fath
er's house. The father saw the boy
coming a long way down the road,
ran to him, threw his arms around
his dusty shoulders, kissed his fore
head.
"Bring a fatted calf," he cried.
"Make a feast; call the neighbors
to celebrate. For this my son
which was gone has come back."
There were high doings in that
house that day, and every one en
joyed them except the older son. He
was sullen and self-pitying. "Here
I work and save and have never
had a good time. When he comes
home, they give him a party. It's
wrong."
The father . did not defend the
younger son, but he rebuked the
elder. That was what hurt the
smugly complacent members of the
audience to whom Jesus told the
story. The Implication was too
plain. "There are two ways in
which a man may waste his life,"
the story said In effect "One is to
run away from your responsibili
ties, causing sorrow to your par
ents and hurt to your associates,
killing your finer nature. That Is
wrong and a man must repent.
"But the other thing is equally
wrong. They who neither laugh or
sing are out of tune with the In
finite. Those who find no pleasure
and give none offer Him a con
stant affront. . . Woe to you, Scribes
and Pharisees. You are painfully
careful to give exactly one-tenth of
your incomes to the Temple, but
you neglect to leave the world a
little more cheerful."
This was his message a happy
God, wanting Hla sons and daugh
ters to be happy.
