Life.
Life is not made up of great sacri
fices or duties, but of little things of
which smiles and kindness and small
obligations given habitually, are
what win and preserve the heart.—
Sir Humphrey Davy.
Shall We Clean Up?
We will not say that Hermiston
citizens should be censored for their
lack of civic pride, but for their
lack of achievement in the clean-up
program sponsored by the Commer
cial club last Friday and Saturday.
It cannot be said that the plan was
not properly outlined nd organized.
Persons were assigned to a definite
district to superintend the clean-up
and were notified in advance by Boy
Scouts who delivered lists to each
superintendent.
The clean-up need not be set for
any special week end. but may be
achieved on any day. A little raking
here, a little pick-up there, a little
burning here, and considerable more
raking and the improvement in ap-
pearance will be pronounced.
Let’s see what can be done for
our city without a clean-up pro-
gram!

How Public Needs Are Financed
“The purchase of government securi
ties by individuals and by the commer
cial banks provides the government
with the means by which Its manifold
activities are financed The Treasury
obtains the funds, with which the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
and other government credit agencies
finance their operations through the
sale of securities, largely to commercial
banks. These funds. In turn, have gone
to the assistance of distressed banks
and other financial institutions, to aid
industrial and agricultural enterprises,
to finance new public and private capi-
tai construction, and to provide relief to
the unemployed.”
Dr. Moulton declared that it Is not
true that the world depression was
caused by a breakdown of the American
banking system “which did not. In fact,
occur until the depression had been
under way for more than three years."
He added:
“Nor is it true that the world mat
adjustments existing in 1929 can be ex
plained simply by undue extensions of
commercial banking credit in the pre
ceding years. These malaajustments in
volved world agricultural industrial
commercial and financial relations."
CHURCH NOTES

. was the subject of the Les-
son-Sermon in all C h u r ch e s of
Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, No
vember 15.
The Golden Text was: “If ye
live after the flesh, ye shall die:
but if ye through the Spirit do
mortify the deeds of the body, ye
shall live. The Spirit itself bear-
eth witness with our spirit, that
we are the children of God” ( Rom.
8: 13, 16).
Among the citations which com
prised the Lesson-Sermon was the
following from the Bible: “Final
ly, brethren, whatsoever things
are true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever things are
just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good re
port; if there be any virtue, and
if there be any praise, think on
these things" (Phil. 4: 8).
The Lesson-Sermon also includ
ed the following correlative pass
ages from the Christian Science
textbook, "Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures”, by
Mary Baker Eddy: "Let unsel
fishness, goodness, mercy, jus
tice, health, holiness, love—the
kingdom of heaven reign within
us, and sin, disease, and death
will diminish until they finally
disappear. Let us accept Science,
relinquish all theories based on
sense-testimony, give up imper
fect models and Illusive ideals;
and so let us have one God, one
Mind, and that one perfect, pro-
ducing His own models of excell-

UNTIL WED.
EVENING
An analysis made of detailed records
kept by a group of Wisconsin farms
revealed several important lessons and
the principles of sound business man
agement derived from them apply
equally well to other farms, says an
article In the Bulletin o. the Agricul
turai Commission of the American
Bankers Association The article says:
“Investment costs, including Inter
est. depreciation, repairs, taxes and In
surance. are approximately two-thirds
of all farm costs Furthermore, these
costs are largely independent of the
production program of the farm.
“This means that If a farmer cuts
his production of crops or livestock,
he Increases his investment costs per
unit of product produced, as a smaller
number of units must then carry as
large an expense load as before. This
illustrates the Importance, from the
standpoint of costs, of operating a
farm at or near capacity,
“Investment mistakes are more cost
ly than many others because they can
not easily be corrected. If a farmer
pays too much for his farm, his invest
ment costs will be abnormally high as
long as he owns it. If he constructs a
S4.000 barn, when a $2.000 barn would
have served his purpose, he will have
excessive barn costs, year after year,
during the entire service life of the
structure
"This emphasises the Importance of
a knowledge of Investment values and
the specific Investment requirements
of Individual farms
Determining Real or False Economies
"In working for greater economy. It
Is essential that the farm manager be
able to distinguish between a real and
a false saving This can be done only
through a.careful estimata of the con
tribution to income, over a period of
•Ime. of each Item of expenditure. Only
If more is saved in expense than will
be lost In income, can a contemplated
cut fn expense be designated as a real
saving
"For example, dropping dairy herd
improvement work may result in a
yearly expense reduction. The ques
lion to decide Is what effect the drop
ping of this work will have on the
present and future income from the
dairy herd If the estimated lose in live
