Near the end of the year, winter has no fears for him. His wood is all cut in stove lengths and corded in a dry shed. His vegetables are stored in neat bins in an airy cellar, safe from frigid temperatures. His stack of hay is under canvas and his farm implements are covered. Thrift and toil at the end of past seasons are evident at every spot on his small acreage. He lives alone but is never lonesome because he always finds something to do. His premises are tidy, his house clean and modern with electrical appliances and radio. In summer he finds time to help his neighbors with their crops, and many another day aids them with other work. He believes in giving honest labor for honest dollars, and is far removed from industrial specialism by a handy hand for many jobs. You may say that he belongs to the old way. Any way there is no waste of time or materials, no dread of shifting jobs, no fear of what may happen when Hitler cracks up, no fear of debts, no vices of the times, no wants crying for satisfaction beyond his own efforts and his stored supplies. Not ambitious beyond his own resources, he is not jealous or envi ous of the so called better lot of others. Though not in the service, he is giving yeoman service to his country. Safer in war and peace would we be with millions more like this old man near the end of the road. Hermiston has many reasons to be proud of the high school band. Whether on parade in uniform of half a hundred students, or before an audience with as many pieces in perfect harmony, they create a thrill in the hearts of local citizens. We want to com pliment the students for their interest in music and their diligence in its study under Mr. Humphreys, who is quietly devoting himself daily to their train ing. The master should be given much credit for his untiring work. The community has supported the band and should give more support when needed as it is a big community asset. Let’s give them all a big hand on all occasions. Many organization republicans are out to stop Willkie, but are finding their chief trouble in select ing a man to stop him. Now comes a group of demo crats out to stop Roosevelt, who have picked Senator Bird to do the stopping. But Bird, like a lot of re publicans, is not willing to take on herculean tasks. A newspaper report says that Congress has heard of rumors of something going on around the Pasco- Kennewick-Richland-Handford-Prosser - Sunnyside and Yakima, and all connecting hills, desert plains, rivers, and that it should be investigated. Some down easterners perhaps think there is something smelly out in this great Northwest beside which flows the power of the Columbia, and fear the competition. They have factories on the Atlantic seaboard and in land, and want to make some politics. And, too, there might be some inquisitiveness closer to home with only a range of mountains lying between. 1 If an accident strikes, your Farmers policy® goes swiftly and surely to work—assumes your financial loss—protects your interests.
