A number of Masons, members of

Pendleton on Saturday afternoon
and evening to attend the gathering

A pleasant affair of Friday eve
ning was the dinner served by the
womens class of the Christian Sun
day school to the boys of Vawter
Crawford's class. These two classes
had been in a contest for a number
of weeks, based on attendance, and
the boys won and were treated to
a fine chicken supper. Parents of
the boys were invited to attend,
and plates were laid for about 40.
It was a very pleasing event to
the boys, and say, didn't the chick
en and ftxins' just disappear in a
most marvelous fashion. The la
dies received the rousing good will
of the boys and their teacher for
the splendid treat.

Editorial
A well written editorial can be a
complete entertainment program or
it can be a source of knowledge. It
is the duty of any editorial staff to
furnish its readers with opinions
and to offer explanations of import
ant questions on topics which might
be puzzling to the public in general.
But all editorials are not explana
tions and opinions. Editorials that
are entertaining are usually written
about commonplace occurrences
which the public unwittingly think
they know all about. They are,
nevertheless, well pleased when a
clever editor prints a column of In
teresting, yet undiscussed, subject
matter concerning a place or thing,
which heretofore had never been
thought of as material suitable to
furnish ideas and inspirations for
an editorial column.
Lectures to Class
Mr. Morton, manager of the
Heppner bank, gave an interesting
talk to the American History class
last Tuesday. His lecture was given
as a supplement to a study of the
World War. Mr. Morton saw action
in the two big drives of the war,
one in the Argonne Forest, the St.
Mehiel; and the other in Belgium,
called the Turnip Drive because of
the extensive fields of turnips on
the battle field. He was able to tell
much about the actual fighting. Mr.
Morton did not. dwell long on the
actual killing of men or the inci
dents of battle because of the mem
ories that sort of discussion brings
back to him. During his talk he
traced the course of his campaigns
tor tne class on a map.
He also had many pictures of the
places he visited in Europe. Thru
Mr. Morton's talk, the American
History class gained much informa
tion about the war that is not print
ed in textbooks.

Dairymen Await Decision
On Surplus Control Plan
Agricultural adjustment officials
back in Washington, D. C, to re
view the results of 15 regional meet
ings dealing with the proposed dairy
surplus control plan have before
them the almost unanimous en
dorsement of the basic principles
of the plan by representatives of
the Pacific Northwest industry as
expressed in the Portland confer
ence. The meeting was presided
over by William A. Schoenfeld, dean
of agriculture at Oregon State col
lege. Organized opposition to the pro
duction control plan, reported to
have been active in some of the re
gional meetings, was not evident at
the Portland conference, though
there was some opposition, princi
pally from a few who felt that the
whole economic system needs a rad
ical overhauling. On final vote lim
ited to actual producing dairymen
or their representatives, the vote to
favor the plan of production con
trol with suggested modifications
was in the ratio of Six to one.

putting the plan into effect will not
be announced until officials com
plete the examination of the reports
from all of the 15 meetings. Fed
eral officials at the Portland meet
ing were not at all certain that any
plan would be launched, as they
said the AAA has no desire to force
a plan upon the industrty or to
launch one If the industry is ser
iously divided in support of it
Chief modifications of the pro
posed plan asked by Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho producers would
first lengthen the base period from
two to three years in arriving at a
dairyman's average production,
would use other than processing
tax funds to finance the disease
control features of the plan, and
would strengthen the requirements
for a compensatory tax on oleo
margarine. The conference also
passed a separate resolution ad
dressed directly to the president
asking his support for the proposed
excise tax on imported vegetable
oils.
A number of producers speaking
in favor of the proposed plan of re
duction in sales of from 10 to 20
per cent, pointed out that there
might be some defects in the plan
and it might be more difficult to
operate than with some other com
modities, but that with more cows
than ever before, the Industry is
confronted with a crisis in the form
of probable price collapse to unheard-of
lows for dairy products
unless some form of control is in
augurated quickly.
Why
Liquid Laxatives
are Back in Favor
The public is fast returning to the use
of liquid laxatives. People have
learned that the right dose of a
properly prepared liquid laxative will
bring a perfect movement without
any discomfort at the time, or after.
The dose of a liquid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. A child is easily given the
right dose. And mild liquid laxatives
do not irritate the kidneys.
Doctors are generally agreed that
senna is a natural laxative. It does
not drain the system like the cathar
tics that leave you so thirsty. Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a liquid
laxative which relies on senna for its
laxative action. It gently helps the
average person's bowels back to
regularity.
You can always get Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin at any drug store, ready
for. use. Member N. R. A.

Relief Purchases of Meat
Aid Western Cattle Price
The effect on general cattle prices
of limited purchases of aurplua
meat on a terminal market has been
convincingly shown by a study of
the result of government purchases
of cattle at North Portland during
January and February of this year.
The study was made by B. W. Ro
denwold, assistant professor of ani
mal husbandry at Oregon State col
lege. Accurate market figures from or
iginal records were studied first for
an eight-year period and then for
the period in question. After al
lowing for all normal seasonal fluc
tuations it was concluded that the
government purchases of some 800
beef carcasses for $28,000 had raised
the general market level enough
to bring an excess return of at least
$130,000 to producers of Oregon and
Washington during the two-months
period. Changes in the Portland
price affect this whole area, it was
shown. Oregon livestock associa
tions have contended successfully
to have relief purchases made in
the area where they are to be used.
