Single Copy 10 cents. We, Not He, Must Come First The issues in Oregon's current political battles are probably more clearly drawn at the present time than they have been for many years. One side never ceases to expound on the "great give awav," and similar themes such as "vote for me anll'il hire back all the (unnecessary) Bonneville employees so they won't have to go on through life working for some private company." The other side has been waging a relatively clean campaign of trying to inform the voters of what they have done in their jobs during the past terms and why they are doing the Jobs they are now doing. The Democrat campaign has made far more noise and infinitely more promises, but it certainly hasn't made more sense. On the national and state level, it seems to us that most of the Democratic candidates have cast their lot with the "show boy" of the group, Rich ard Neuberger, and for the most part, are merely echoing his thoughts and Ideas, though it must be said in defense of some of them, that even they have been loathe to go as far as has Neu berger on a few occasions. We wonder if some of his promises haven't even scared some of his own parly members. Even though the issues are as clearly drawn as they are, we think the biggest thing for the thinking voter to consider in all seriousness, in the Cordon Neuberger fight, is the two men them selves Is he sincere? Is he actually interested in the great problems of the state, the nation and of the world? Is he thinking of me and of whal will be best for my area and for the nation as a whole, or is he thinking first of himself . . . and second, of the nation? Is he honest? We firmly believe that Senator Guy Cordon is sincere and that his record in the senate will bear that out On every issue he has not voted as we might have, yet his overall policy has been to our liking and, we believe, in our best interest. He has put serious work and study Into the Job of being senator and nobody can accuse him of compromising the facts or "modifying" the truth, either while in Washington or during his cam paign. He has been honest with himself and with us. By Dick Neuberger's own admission, he has "modified" the truth on more than one occasion to suit his own needs. He has told half-truths, which, when the whole story is heard, has a dif ferent meaning, not so useful for his purposes. Writing of his own campaign tactics in a previ ous election, candidate Neuberger said: "As long as the business of rounding up votes dominated my thought, I discovered an unconsci ous inhibition on what I wrote. Truth . . . became not the sole test! My eraser modified original conclusions so they would be more generally ac ceptable. And I was seeking only a minor office. What might the Inhibitors have been If I had glimpsed ahead the prospect of ... a United States senatorship?" Richard Neuberger, who is now running for the United States senate, then and now has shown that he Is thinking first, of Richard Neuberger. We want our senator to be thinking first of his job and of the people he was sent to Washington to represent. He does not deserve the consideration of the voters. Letters This paper welcomes the comments of its read ers and, in fact, urges that more people take ad vantage of the Letters to the Editor column for regardless of whether the writer's opinions are the same or contrary to ours, we believe In the right of the people to have their say in public print if they so desire. We continue to welcome letters, but as we have said previously, they must because of necessity and limited space in a small paper, be kept to ap proximately 300 words or less. We recently re ceived a letter which we cannot run because of its great length it would take at least three full colums in this paper. We dislike having to re fuse publication to any letter, and especially this one, because it takes a stand entirely the opposite of what this paper is supporting, yet physical limi tations make it necessary. We try to tell our stories, both news and edi torial opinion, in 300 or -100 words or less, and we believe most people can express their ideas in the same amount of space We don't want to have to refuse anyone the right to express their opinion, hut we have to ask again that they be kept to a reasonable length. The letter to which we refer concerns Senator Cordon and the Hells Canyon dam and it is avail able in our office for anyone who might care to read it. From The County Agent's Office By N. C Anderson Word has been received from M. I). Thobas, Extension agricul tural economist and the Portland Office of th( U. S. D. A. Agricul tural statistician reminds us that the after harvest survey of crop acreage and production has been .sent out to our farm people. We hope that these have not been overlooked and that they will be filled out soon, and returned. Re member, crop reporting is a ser vice for farmers. Its success hinges heavily on farmer re sponse. Indirectly, use of the in formation by buyers and sellers benefits farmers. It keeps every one posted on what to expect for the future. Card Party WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20 8:00 P. M. Episcopal Parish House BRIDGE PINOCHLE SPONSORED BY Women's Auxiliary, Episcopal Church Farm purchasing power has again been squeezed back as farm prices dropped faster than cost. Prices received by farmers slumped last month with the in dex taking the deepest dive so far this year. Farm prices lost everything that they had gained from mid-July to mid-August and a little bit more. The price level now has been pushed to the lowest point since 1950. Farmers were paying higher prices for the things needed to operate the farm such as feeder cattle, fertilizer, tractors and farm building mater, ials but 'the things they needed for the home were cheaper. Re tail food prices for instance saw the sharpest drop in any one month since February,. 1918. The lower price coffee, fruit, and veg etables had a lot to do with the drop in the food price index. Farmers were paying less for shoes. Meat prices too, went down from August to September. These declines, remember were only from August 15 through September 15 this year. Farmers were still paying slightly more for their clothing thanthey did a year ago. Household furnishings tnd household building mater ials averaged higher last month. Interest, taxes and wage rates held steady. With prices receiv ed going down 5 points while the parity index dropped only 2 points, the purchasing power of farm products lost an advantage From files of the Gazette Times October 16, 1924 Mr. and Mrs. Oilman of Hepp ner were Cecil visitors on Sunday for a short time after driving Archdeacon Goldie down from Heppner in readiness for his even ing service in Cecil.

The ratio on Septem ber 15, stood at 88 which is one point below August but the same as In June and July. Now Is the time to be thinking of controlling sheep ticks and cattle lice. Best control can be had if control measures are ap plied in the early fall months. At this time, the ticks and lice are less abundant than they will be during the winter. Wool and hair is shorter insuring better penetration of insecticides and less material is required. If sheep ticks are eliminated now, they will not be present to mi grate over to the young lambs in the spring. Cattle lice build up rapidly during the winter months. They should be controlled before they start their free loading. Ani mals can be either dipped or sprayed. A number of good in secticides are available, effective and inexpensive. These are DDT, Methoxychlor, TDE, Lindane, BHC, Toxaphene, Chloradane and Rotenone. Follow the manufac turers direction in mixing and using these insecticides. Avoid using chlofdane, toxaphene, BHC, and Lindane on young animals less than four months old. Lice and ticks occur on any part of an animals body, therefore, complete coverage is necessary for good control. For further details on livestock pest control, you might pick up a copy of extension cir cular 561, "Livestock Pest Con trol", from this office. o lone News Mr. and Mrs. Ray Heimbigner and children spent the weekend in Odessa, Wash.
