Mr. and Mrs. Henry Aiken re
turned home Tuesday evening from
Salem where they went Monday for
their sons who had spent some time
at the home of their aunt, Mrs.
Helen Gregg. Returning past Mo
sier they witnessed the forest fire
In progress, burning in the tree
crowns at the time. Smoke and
cinders made visibility poor on the
highway.
Ed F. Shea, a director of Lions
International, was in the city Tu
esday on business in. connection
with his position as representative
of a coal company. He recently re
turned from the International con

being quite successful.
Grant Olden was transacting bus
iness in ' town Tuesday from the
Rhea creek farm. He harvested a
good hay crop this season, but the
wheat turned out poorly. Some
farmers of his section harvested 14
and 15 bushels, which he believed
to be a fair crop for this season.
Harry "Mose" Jones and sister,
Mrs. Stella Bailey, arrived in the
city Monday evening on business in
connection with Morrow county
land holdings of the estate of their
mother, the late Mrs. Margaret
Jones. While here they enjoyed a
visit with many old-time friends.
Roy Quackenbush, lookout on
Arbuckle mountain, gained relief
long enough to visit town Tuesday.
He and Mrs. Quackenbush are nice
ly located at the lookout station,
and their register contains the
names of many folks who have vis
ited there during the season.
Bobbie Robinson and Walter Eu
banks were in the city Tuesday
from lone, Bobbie coming up from
his home at Portland to look after
matters in connection with the es
tate of his father, the late F. H.
Robinson.
Miss Melba Jones, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Jones of Mon
tesano, Wash., arrived Sunday eve

Mrs. Nys and the children had
spent some time there previously.
Jesse Tinsley sustained a frac

TODAY and
I A few years ago old Mr. Hubbard
sold the place. I drove by the other
day and saw an auction sale going
on. The new owners were being
"sold up" to satisfy their creditors,
and the savings bank had foreclosed
the mortgage on the land.
"Guess they just ain't good farm
ers," , said Mr. Hubbard, when I
stopped by his cottage down the
road to ask him how come. I
dropped in at the bank. "No char
acter," waa the banker's harsh judg
ment. "Thought they could make a
living without working and spend
money before they earned it Do
you know any real farmer who'd
like to get a good place cheap?
There's a bargain for a man and
wife with character and a little
capital. It's no place, though, for
movie-hounds, joyriders or people
that want short hours and long va
cations." I have a notion that a lot of the
distress among farmers, that we
hear so much about, comes down to
that

Flying . . . safe and cheap
An airplane flew low over Indian
Mountain, just west of my farm,
last Sunday, and landed in Joe
Springstroop's cow-pasture. No, it
wasn't a crash. Nobody was hurt.
It was just a couple of boys experi
menting with a home-made plane,
powered with a Ford engine. They
hope to get a Government contract
for cheap, safe planes.
Two other young inventors have
just brought out small "foolproof"
planes, that can be sold for $700 or
$800. One of them made 110 miles
an hour In a test flight Experts
say nobody could crash either of
those planes If he tried.
Safe, cheap flying is almost here.
I think it promises to be as big an
Industry as automobiles. Half the
adventurous boys I know are going
in for flying. When everyone takes
to the air what changes it will make
In our ways of living and thinking!
Lemons . . . and war
Next to lemon pie my family likes
lemonade on hot Summer evenings.
A two-quart pitcher of lemonade
doesn't last us very long.
The other day my wife came
home from the store indignant. "I
had to pay fifty cents for a dozen
little lemons!" she said. "Last week
they were only 30 cents. Tom Fal
lon says the wholesalers have boost
ed the price to him nearly double."
I asked a friend in the citrus fruit
trade about It, next day.
"It's the war In Africa," he said.
"Italy has bought up all the Euro
pean lemon crops and is bidding for
California lemons. They need 'em
for their soldiers, to keep them from
getting scurvy."
"War," said my wife, when I told
her that, "is what General Sherman
said It was. No more lemon pie
until Mussolini and the Ethiopians
get through fighting."
War anywhere certainly touches
everybody somewhere.
Farmers . . sans character
For a hundred years and more the
old Hubbard farm, up near Long
Pond, has supported, educated and
made good citizens out of genera
tion after generation of Hubbards.
I get reports from the Middle
West of a revival of activity In
farm land sales. Good farms in
Nebraska have recently sold for
from $100 to $150 an acre. One
SOUth Dakntn frmr rlonrl mrltu
me that he has been offered $150
an acre for his quarter section. An
Iowa farmer whom I know tells me
that he refused $60,000 cash for hl
600 acres recently.
Those Drices do not nnmtinrA with
the speculative prices at which simi
lar farm land changed hands in the
boom days. They probably repre
sent more nearly tne actual value
of the land, in terms of earning
capacity in the hands of comnctpnt
farmers.
A Kreat deal of the farm distress
has come from buviner land at fannv
or speculative prices.
Speculation is speculation
I have never been ahlA in mp
much difference between speculat
ing in land and speculating in
stocks. The man who bought Iowa
farm land for $500 an acre, as I saw
manv buvine it during th Wip
paying a quarter down and giving
a mortgage lor tne balance, was
headine for trouble lust a surelv
as the city speculator who bought
Radio or any other stock at the
peak of the market, on a 20 percent
margin.
The SDeculative hnver at farm
land has one advantage. It takes
longer to foreclose the mortgage on
a farm than it does to close out a
stock-broker's customer, and in the
meantime there is always the
chance that a bnevolent govern
ment will come to the farmer's
aid. I have not heard of anybody
offering to help the small specula-

Wiclif and Tyndale
So the Bible passed into Latin and
finally into English. There had
been partial translations from the
Latin from the time of the Vener
able Bede and King Alfred, but the
name of the great English pioneer
translator is John Wiclif, who lived
from 1324 to 1384.
As a translation his work was of
secondary value, for he, too, used
the Latin and not the original
tongues, but he put the Bible into
the hands of the reading public of
England, which was small but po
tent, and made it what it is today,
the Book of the common people.
One hundred and fifty years after
Wiclif came William Tyndale, who
undertook a translation of the New
Testament from the original Greek.
People were horror-stricken by the
Impiety of the idea. He had to flee
to Hamburg, and never again set
foot on his native shore. Against
fierce opposition he continued his
work. Printing had been invented,
and Tyndale determined to "make
every plow-boy in England know
the New Testament" His book,
printed by Caxton, had to be smug
gled into England and was read by
stealth. With such asinine drivel
as the following, written by the
pious Friar Buckingham, its circu
lation waa obstructed:
"Where Scriptures saith, 'No man
that layeth his hand to the plow
and looketh back is fit for the king
dom of God'; will not the plowman
when he readeth these word be apt
forthwith to cease from his plow,
and then where will be the sowing
and the harvest? Likewise, also
whereas, the baker readeth, 'A lit
tle leaven leaveneth the whole
lump,' will he not be forthwith too
sparing in the use of leaven, to the
great injury of our health? And
so also when the simple man reads
the words, 'if thine eye offend thee,
pluck it out and cast it from thee,'
Incontinent he will pluck out his
eyes, and so the whole realm will
be full of blind men, to the great
decay of the nation and the mani
fest loss of the king's grace. And
thus by reading of the holy Scrip
tures will the whole realm come
into confusion."
Tyndale himself was treacherous
ly dealt with and arrested, and lay
for eighteen months in Antwerp
for no crime other than that of giv
ing to the people a truer version of
the Scriptures. On October 6, 1536,
he was strangled and his body was
burned. Thus have Christian folk
welcomed the better and more ac
curate translations of the Book
which teaches kindness, tolerance,
forbearance and the open mind and
thus do they still denounce those
men of learning.
King James I of England and Vl
of Scotland saw that he could not
prevent the reading of the Bible by
the people, and he determined to
get credit for what his scholars told
him was much needed, a reliable
translation into good English, for
all the previous versions had been
made under conditions that ren
dered exact scholarly treatment im
possible. Next Week: The King James Version.
tors who were caught in the stock
market collapse, but there has been
some concern about the losses of
speculators in farm land.

YOU DONT
: HAVE TO BREAK IN
THE E0KD V-8
4f
You can drive it 50 miles an hour the day you buy it
The Ford V-8 is ready for normal driving
when you buy it. There is no tedious period
of breaking-in for 500 or 1000 miles. You
can drive it up to 50 miles an hour the first
day. And after the first hundred miles you
can drive it as fast as you desire.
That means greater motoring enjoyment for
every motorist. It is especially important to
motorists who are thinking about a new car
for a vacation trip to physicians, salesmen
and all those who use a car for business. In
stead of dragging along at slow speeds for
days, you can make good time from the start.
The reason for this is as important as the
result. The Ford V-8 needs no breaking-in
because of unusual accuracy in the manufac
ture of moving parts and the smoothness of
bearing surfaces. Clearances are correct when
you buy the car. It is not necessary to depend
on a long wearing-in period to eliminate tight
ness and insure smooth running. Longer life,
greater economy and better performance are
bound to result from such precision methods.
The Ford V-8 gives you fine-car construction,
along with fine -car performance, comfort,
safety and beauty.
