Farmers Sweeping Oregon
A big movement among farmers is
111 progress In Oregon.
There aro signs that it will organize
them into a compact mass. It is under
Ihe leadership of tho United States

Is nbout the working plan of tho cam
paign for members: First there is a
publicity campaign of two weeks with
half page advertisements in tho local
newspapers, accompanied with circu
lar letters sent to all farmers. In tho
third week, well Informed speakers
address mass moetiugs throughout the
country. After that, solicitors who arc
themselves actual farmers make a
house to houso canvass for members.

Tho foderation Is not a radical move
ment, it does intend to use its power
to lessen tho spread between the pro
ducer and consumer and to savo to the
producer a larger share of tho fruits
of his labor.
If ho gets that larger share It will
mak'o Oregon a better Mate, liusincss
has always been blind to the fact that
greater buying power out on the farms
means more sales and more prosperity
for tho cities as well as for the coun
try districts.' Wlior: ho-wont to buy
something, the farmer has always. ask
ed, "What Is your price?" Whon lie
went to sell tho products of his farm,
ho has always asked, "What do you
pay?"
It Is romnrkablo that ho has waited
so long for such a farmer's movement
as is now swocping over Oregon.

REDUCED COST OF OPERATION
(Continued fiom Page One)
calaslropho of bankruptcy," Mr. Attor-
hury said, "by declaring that tho na
tional agreements, rules and working
conditions coming over from tho par
period aro terminated at once; that
the question of reasonable and eco
nomical rules and working conditions
shall ho reinandod to negotiation be
tween each carrier and Its own em
ployes; nnd that ns the basis for such
negotiations, the agreements, rules
and working conditions In effect on
each railroad as of December 31, .1917,
shall be re-established.
"Tile national agreements, rules and
working conditions forced on tho rail
roads as war measures cause gross
waste and Inefficiency.
"1 estimate that the elimination or
this waste would reduce railway oper
ating expenses at least $300,000,000
per annum, it would lie far better to
savo tills sum by restoring conditions
of efficient and economical operation
than to reduce wages.
"Wo believe that ns the wages of
railroad employes were the last to go
up, they should be the last to conio
down but wo do Insist that for an
ample wage, an honest day's work
shall be given.
Honest Day's Work
"The public has a right to insist
that this must be obtained. Tho pub
lic, has also the right to expect that the
railroad executives Willi the co-operation
of tho regulatory bodies and the
employes, will as rapidly as possible
rodueo the cost of railroad operation
so ns to eventually Insure a reduction
in rates. Ultimately a re adjustment
of basic wages will ho required. Mean
timo it is to tho interests of nil con
cerned, Including Inbor, that the rules
and working conditions shall be made
conducive to tho highest efficiency In
output per man.
"It rests entirely with your board to
determine within the next few days
whether this wholo situation shall
drift Into chaos and orderly procedure
become impossible except at the price
of railroad bankruptcy, financial shock
and still wider unemployment."
His nppeal concluded with the
declaration that "in our judgment, un
less tho proposed measures be taken
promptly by your board, a situation
will shortly develop in which orderly
procedure will become eulluely impossible,"

ARTIST FAILED
IN 2 ATTEMPTS
The short change artist who manip
ulated bills until he had "horuswog
gled" the Haskins Drug store out of
$10 Saturday afternoon, tried the same
trick without success on the cashier of
the Optimo cafe, and Mrs. Gladys
Strang, a clerk at .Meeker's store. So
far there has been no trace of the
"slicker."
The confidence man went into Meek
er's and bought a package of,pins, cost
ing twelve cents. He proffered a $20
bill. When Mrs. Strang offered him
tho change, ho remarked that he
thought he had offered a one-dollar
bill, and wanted to give it in payment,
after apologizing for making so much
trouble. The clerk first asked him if
he had smaller change, and seeing a
quarter in his hand suggested that he
make payment with it, which he did.
In liaskiu's tlio gent bought 15
cents worth of Kpsom Salts, and paid
with a $20 bill. When the clerk gave
him the chango ho expressed surprise,
saying he thought lie had tendered a
$1 bill, and voluntoered to pay with the
smaller bill, so as not to deplete the
small chango supply of the druggist.
His proffer was accepted, and in the
resultant switching of bills back and
forth, the smooth person managed to
befuddle Mr. Haskins out of $10. About
a minute afterwards the bunco game
was discovered, but the buncoist had
disappeared. i
. Ho tried the samo scheme without
success at the Optimo cafe Bhortly
afterwards.
A general alarm was sent out to nil
merchants to be on the wntch for a
man with a $20 bill.

Wonderful Re

Internal Baths
Mrs. T M. Wadlia, liO-H National
ave., San Diego, Cab, writes Tyrrell's
Hygienic Institute of New York as fol
lows: "Within tho last month have had
wonderful results and all inflamma
tion has nearly subsided. I could
hardly expect a woman over 70 to re
ceive benefit from a trouble of long
standing as quickly as a younger per
son. Money could not buy my 'J. II.
Ij. Cascade' if 1 could not .get an
other." It is difficult to believe how many
Internal troubles internal bathing will
relieve until you realize that physic
ians agree that Un per cent of human
ailments are caused by accumulated
waste in tho lower intestine.
The "J. U. I. Cascade," the scien
tific method of internal bathing, re
moves, in a perfectly natural way all
poisonous waste, and has been so suc
cessful in promoting health that over
half a million intelligent Americans
are now using it regularly.
It is the Invention of Chas. A. Tyr
rell, M. U., of New York, who for 25
years was a specialist on Internal
Hathlng, and it is now being shown
and explained by West Side Pharmacy,
