TT MAY turn, out that the most important thing that has hap pened in the world in the past three years is the international wheat agreement which has been signed by the representatives of 21 nations. We believe that Mr. Fred erick E. Murphy, the head of the American delegation to the Wheat Conference, is right when he says that the records for a thousand years past show clearly that wheat has always been the index to the price of other commodities. In other words, as Mr. Murphy puts it, "prosperity comes from the soil." Under the terms of the London agreement, the great wheat-growing nations are to reduce their acreage of wheat by about 15 per cent the wheat importing nations are to keep their own acreage down to or below present levels and use every possible measure to increase the consumption of wheat, and thay agree to pay a price of not less than 55 cents, gold, rising to 63.02 cents, At the present value of the dollar in foreign exchange that would give an equivalent of about 92 cents for American wheat. And since the trend of the dollar is downward, it seems, as Mr. Murphy points out that we can look for "dollar wheat" as the minimum for years to come. For whenever the price has been maintained at the 63.02 cents mini mum for four months, the import ing nations agree to reduce their tariffs, to further stimulate the im portation of wheat The importance of this to every man, woman and child In America may not be apparent on the sur face. But it touches the pocket books of all of us. It will cut down the surplus of wheat above the present world demand in two ways, first by regulating production, sec ond in increasing consumption. It should not take long to absorb the present world surplus of something like half a billion bushels. Even before that is absorbed, however, money at a rate that is profitable to the wheat grower will begin to flow into the farmers' pockets; and that should be the break in the vicious circle of economic depress ion that is needed to start the world back to prosperity. Sunday School Lesson . J . -. By Bev. Charles Dunn, D. D. Lesson for September 17th. I Kings 5-8. Golden Text: Psalm 100:4. Under the leadership of Solomon, the Wise King, Israel reached a high point of material splendor. He began his reign with noble ideas, as indicated by the impressive story of his dream at Gibeon where, in answer to the divine request, "Ask what I shall give thee," he did not beg for long life, or riches, or vie tory over his foes, but for "an un derstanding heart." What is life's best gift? Some insist it is gold. Others claim it is fame. Still others answer in terms of health. But Solomon's dream makes It clear, to quote from the book of Proverbs, a book ascribed to Solomon, that "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And be it noted that with wisdom come, in inevitable sequence, the lesser gifts. God gave Solomon npt only what he asked for, but, in ad dition, prosperity, honour, length of days, and a reign of peace without a parallel in Jewish history. Solomon was a splendid politician and administrator. He consolidated the kingdom, welding together its disorganized tribes into a tempor ary union. He realized, too, the value of foreign alliances, through the promotion of which he stimu lated international commerce and good will, as indicated by the fa mous visit to Jerusalem of the Queen of Sheba. But his greatest claim to fame arises from his suc cessful completion of the spectacu lar Temple, But S o 1 o m o n's extraordinary wealth and fame proved, in the end, his undoing. "His wives," says the narrative, "turned away his heart after other gods. . . . And the Lord was angry with Solomon." Self-indulgence and pride of possession brought about, at last, unmistak able deterioration In the fibre of his character. With all his wisdom, he lacked self-control. We do not wonder, then, that the glory of his reign was followed by the disaster. The wisest man in history was made a fool of by his women and his wealth, and his splendid king dom crashed into ruin. What a commentary on human weakness and divine judgment! ORGANIZING THE HEN. "THE Federal Government Is go- ing to try its hand at controlling the price of poultry and eggs, in the interest of the producer. We have a notion that this is go ing to be a more difficult and com plicated job than putting up the price of cotton, or wheat, or to bacco. But we are for it. We want to see the hen come back to her appropriate place in the scheme of things. It will be a hard job, because there are so many hens so widely distributed. It doesn't take a far mer to keep hens. In fact, a lot of farmers don't bother with hens. According to the Agricultural De partment statistics, out of about 6,000,000 farms, there are hens kept on 5,400,000 of them, but the vast majority of these, more than 5, 000,000, have flocks of less than 200 hens, while only 22,000 farms have flocks of 700 or more. But besides these hens on the farms, there are the backyard hens, who aren't counted in the picture at all. The total value of eggs and poultry which figured in the com mercial statistics the last time they were counted ran to about 848 mil lion dollars; that covered some twenty-seven hundred million eggs from 379 million hens. It would be our guess that there are another hundred million hens that never got counted, in dooryard flocks of a dozen or two. we are ror giving tne hen a break. We would like to see the poultry business as profitable in reality as it is on paper. We know of no line of business that has tempted so many people with the notion that it was easy to make money, as the poultry business has done. It is an easy business to get into, and usually an easy one to get out of. If the Government can put it on a basis where the possi ble profits become real profits, we wish them well, but we don't want the job of trying to do it. University of Oregon Ready for Opening Eugene, Ore. Activities in prep aration for the opening of the fall term are in progress in all depart ments of the University of Oregon and new and returning students will find not only improvements and repairs in many campus buildings, but adjustments and refinements in curricula offerings, it was stated by Dr. Earl M. Pallett, executive sec retary and registrar. Pre-registrations of first year students are now coming in rapidly. Indications are that return of old students will be normal, and may even exceed that of last year, due to better economic conditions in many parts of the state. Registra tion of graduate and special stu dents already exceeds that of last year. Plans have been completed for "freshman week," six busy days during which new students will be "oriented" or neatly fitted into the scheme of things here. This week, which opens Monday, September 18, will precede the regular open ing of classes, which is set for Mon day, September 25. Into freshman week will be crammed conferences, physical and psychological examinations, Eng lish placement tests, and all the hustle and bustle of "rush week," that period when fraternities and sororities invite the new students in to look them over for "pledge" material. Careful planning by those in charge, however, will make it possible for every student to get careful attention to individual as well as general problems. Monday and Tuesday of the week will be devoted to physical, psy chological and English placement tests, and Dr. Pallett emphasizes the fact that new students should be here on time for these examine ations. These tests are important. not only to those who will have charge of the students, but to the student himself, it is pointed out. Registration material will be given out Thursday and registration will take place Friday. Added opportunity will be offered students in nearly every major de partment of the university. This has been accomplished through re organization, elimination of some of the more highly specialized courses and expansion of courses which serve a larger portion of the student body to make them more thorough and adequate. Instruction in religion, a new de partment here, in charge of Dr. E. W. Warrington, will be sponsored and supported by friends and par ents of students throughout the state. For the first time landscape ar chitecture will be offered exclusive ly in the school of fine arts. It will be in charge of Prof. F. A. Buthbert, who has been transferred from Oregon State college. Stu dents will go to the Corvallis cam pus, however, for the third year of this five year course. Upper division work in business administration, now completely re organized for this campus, will be offered exclusively here hence forth. Specialists in voice and stringed instruments have been made avail able to Btudents on both campuses, through reorganization of the staffs of the mu3ic departments, while Professor Paul Petri of Oregon State will divide his time between the two campuses and have charge or choral groups for men and wo men and instruction in voice. Students in nursing education may spend their first two years at either institution, with upper di vision work given in Portland. Lower division and essential ser vice courses in science and home economics carry out the plan of the State Board to make adequate sub ject matter in these fields available to students in other major fields. The quality of instruction, due to careful reorganization, will be equi valent to any period in the history of the institution, officials declare. This is attributed to the loyalty and interest of faculty members. Few changes in faculty personnel have occurred this year. HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, Zein ... an old friend Ever hear of zein? Few people have by name but it is one of the commonest substances grown. Zein is the name given by chem ists to a hard- horn-like substance extracted from corn gluten, which is a by-product of the manufacture of corn starch. For more than a hundred years industrial labora tories have been trying to find economical and practical ways of extracting zein from corn in large quantities. Once they get the process, there is almost no limit to the things that can be made of zein. Some time before the war I met a German sci entist who had made rubber out of zein. It was good enough rub ber so that he had made a set of tires for the Kaiser's automobile. Hew steps in prosperity are us ually based on new industries based on new discoveries. Maybe some application of zein will prove the permanent cure for the depression. Value unexpected sources Practical - minded people ask: "What's the use of such foolish things as horse-racing, motor-boat racing and 'round-the-world-flying?" It seems like a waste of money to many. But Through the breeding up of horses to racing standards the ar mies of the world have a steady supply of cavalry mounts capable of high speed and endurance; and say what you like, the horse has not yet been supplanted by ma chines in war. And the other day T. F. W. Meyer, who designed the propellers for Gar Wood's "Miss America X," the fastest water-craft in the world told how that im proved propeller design, applied to the circulating systems of electric WITII President Roosevelt's acceptance of the NRA Automobile Code, Chevrolet, the world's largest builder of motor cars, officially begins operations in accordance with the administration's recovery program. Although the official code was signed only a few days ago, it will be of interest to Chevrolet' many friends to learn that the Chevrolet Motor Company started to carry out the spirit of today's recovery program over three years ago! At that time, we put into operation a "share-the-work" plan, whereby our workmen cooperated in spreading the work to give more men jobs. By means of this plan, as well as by regulating hours of work per week to meet retail demand, and by building up parts stocks in lean seasons, it was possible to carry 33,000 men on our payroll through the depression. For eleven months of each year since 1929, we have kept our employment within 10 per cent of this average. We are justly proud of that record. We are also proud to say that Chevrolet workmen did not, at any time during the depression, become a burden on public welfare departments. HEPPNER, OREGON, and gas refrigerators, had reduced their cost and bulk and increased their efficiency. Something practical comes out of almost every human activity. Most new ideas and devices originated in somebody's "fooling around for amusement. Hogs Wallace knows them I have a good deal more confi dence in the soundness of the Fed eral Government's scheme to re duce the nation's hog surplus, than I would have if it were in anyone's hands except those of Henry Wal lace. For the Secretary of Agri culture probably knows more about hog-raising which is really a branch of corn-growing than any one else in Uncle Sam's service. There are 20 million acres too much planted to corn, says Henry. There are 5 million too many hogs. This year's corn crop is short, so his plan, which really originated with corn-belt farmers, is to kill off at once 4 million pigs or light hogs and one million sows due to farrow this fall, keep the pork off the gen eral market but sell it at a low price to relief agencies, and pay the hog producer a bonus to be raised by a tax on processing hogs and hog products. Sounds complicated. Takes ex perts to handle it. But if Henry Wallace says it will work, I'll be lieve him. Bulbs . Holland's worry Holland is suffering from an ov er production of bulbs, and tulips, hyacinths and narcissi by the mil lion are being destroyed by order of the "adjustment committee for rehabilitation of industry." Just what we are trying to do with cotton, wheat and hogs! Bulb growing is one of Holland's chief industries. It has been hurt by the American restrictions on im ported bulbs resulting in the im portation of "many Dutch farmers to grow bulbs in this country. Great fortunes have been made in bulbs by the Dutch. Two hundred years ago the great "tulip specula tion" set the whole nation gambling in bulbs, just as we Americans gambled in stocks a few years ago, and with the same result; a finan cial crash that it took the nation years to recover from. Times change but human nature doesn't. Every people has its prob lems of overproduction, and all 's j.s. Proud and glad to do our CHEVROLET MOTOR COMPANY, DETROIT, MICHIGAN, Division of General Moton CHEVROLET THURSDAY, SEPT. 14, 1933. seem to be adopting the same type of cure. How mucn more sensiuie it would be if, instead of destroy ing Dutch bulbs and American wheat, we traded one for the other. For Sale 300 ewes from 2 to 6 yrs. W. H.

This wage increase was the second in the last 4 months, Chevrolet having been among the first to put a blanket wage increase into effect. We feel that the President's recovery program de serves the whole-hearted support of every citizen and manufacturer in America. It is a bold, swift, coura geous plan to start the ball rolling toward economic recovery. Its sincerity is unquestioned. Its objec tives are admirable. And the direct, forceful steps the President and his associates are taking to make it a success, should stir the pride and admiration of every American. We are proud and glad to do our part. And we are deeply grateful to the American people for the patronage that has enabled us to anticipate the present recovery program and to play our part today. After all, the immense number of men em ployed by Chevrolet is a direct result of the con tinued preference America has shown for Chevrolet. will sell at auction to the highest bid der for cash the following described real property in Morrow County.
