It is all right for Portland, Ore., and Paris, France, to hold a world fair in 1925, but what chance has a town with nothing to offer but Hull Rim water to drink, against a town with everything to drink, but water. All fruff not destroyed by the frost will now be confiscated by the bugs, and what is left will be blown off by a young cyclone late in July. A lot of first class promoters are go ing to waste, devoting' their talents to nhilantronic drives, with the world crying for oil. COURTESY GONE TO SEED (Montague Messenger) We wish to express our thanks to the friends who charivariod us on the eve following our wedding. Such expression makes one feel they are appreciated. Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette Mauzey. NOISE VERSUS ACCOMPLISHMENT. t ON'filJESS conv.-nes M.lay with over 10(H) hills in tlw lioppw. It would take congress over a year to iviul tln-m all. much less study thrill mid act upon tlit'iu. As a result only a IVw of tin- liills will 1),. ivad, lVwvr studied, mid pmlialily only a hundred or so acted upon. Hut is costs money to print hills. It even posts money to dispose of them, l'rolialily the investment in waste hasUets alone necessary to hold the discarded hills, would keep one family in affluence for a tortrnjrht. All of which culls attention to the need of a housecleimini." in methods of federal administration. Fortunately such a housedeanin has already started. For the first time in its history the fiovernmeiil of the i'nilcd Stales is to he surveyed ill its entirety. The Smoot-Ueavis committee composed of I Senators Reed, Smoot. Wadsworth ami Harrison: lienresentativcs lieavis, Temple and Moore will have this work in charge. Ilerhert Hoover, who, in a sense, started the movement eoiip,'. will undoubtedly be an ex-officio member of this committee, and the re sults attained promise to be of far more importance to the average tcx payer, than all the tariff, peace treaty, tall; and legislation, which will undoubtedly occupy the front jingos for many weeks to come- For the cost of noveriiment has in the last few vears increased sen- saticvnally. There was a time when the cost of Lovcrninent was onlv 12 cents per capita, it is now -fl-'!. Or to put it in another way, the cost of ''overnmcnt from l!l(i to 11)20. a neriod of four veni-s nimmvi. mutely equalled the cost of government from ITS!) to l'.Hii. a period of ' ' years. A situation such as this of course effects everv citizen in the land. As one New York export recently remarked. "AYIien you stop to think that Fncle Sam employs oOO.OUO persons all over the world, and the cost of ttuvvrnmi-iit is $ijOO.0OU every hour of the day, and the total is inrreasini; so rapidly us to fairly take away your breath, let alone your cash. it is only riht to stop to determine the cause and consider the remedy."' That is precisely why the Smoot-Keavis cominitlce has been ap pointed. Ainoii;,' other things, this committee will determine .why it is necessary for the government to issue lli different cook books, as it did in I'.lin, or purchase cement through 17 different bureaus. all with different specifications and requirements, or why 11 different bureaus have something to do with foreign commerce, seven with do. mestic. commerce, " with education, 10 with public health, 1l with chemical research, seven with disabled soldiers, 14 with public lands. 24 with surveying and mapping. 22 with engineering, 1(5 with road construction, 25 with public buildings, nine with aeronautics, seven with Alaskan affairs, nine with navigation, 1.") with rivers and har bors and 1!) with hydraulic construction. Picture, a billion dollar a year private corporation, struggling under such a duplication of overhead! ft wouldn't last a month. Hut the government lasts because there is always 'someone to pay the ilu- licit at the end ot the year and that someone, of course, is the Ameri can people. There will be the usual amount of noise and furv proceeding from WfiUi;lw.i..n c.., i ... .i .' . . u...,.,!.,,! ii Kin uui mi, mil. uie inosi important, jod will lie going on in tho committee room, of this Smoot-Kcavis committee. Now and then a skirt shows up on the Main Stem, thnt was barred from the ballet of a Frisco burlesque performance. Has anybody read anywhere, any thing about the ."starving hordes or Europe" being short of plows. The British government lias once more demonstrated that it is mightier than the miner's union, and that Lloyd George is still able to take care of himself. Tourist travel for tho year has start ed, 17 arrived this morning between trains. ALWAYS EXPRESS THEM (Eugene Register) Congratulations are finding the .way to the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Tyson on the arrival of a nine-Ktind daughter, born April 5, 1921. Congress convened today. The jun ior senator from Oregon was prevailed nnon not to delay proceedings, as threatened, until his brother-in-law was appointed US marshal. , Citizens continue to rush Joyously over to J'ville, and pungle up for the privilege of existing In Jack. Co. Work on the railroad to the Blue I.ndne has been stopped. While niak ing a sharp curve near Kuch, the point was broke off the main pencil. Governmental efficiency is breath taking. A survey of southern Oregon timber will be made for wood beetles A little energy in the erection of a few sawmills would eradicate the beetles. NO WONDER IT RAINED (Roseburg Review) Just as the train began falling the happy couple, led by the min ister, inarched into the presence of the assembled guests, to the strains of the wedding march play ed by Mrs. Parsons on the guitar, and as the pa3tor sixke the beauti ful and impressive ceremony that united two lives in one. the heav ens opened and poured down a .flood of blessing on the union of home making and afforded an ap propriate setting to abundantly launch their canoe on the beauti ful river of life. All the startling facts revealed in Robert Lansing's book on the ieacp conference were known at Bates ton sorial hangout two weeks before they happened.

TIIR MAX who holds exalted place sees grief around, knee deep, and tears would trickle down his face if be had time lo weep. Because he is a shining mark the knockers seek his trail ; from early morn till after dark they roar and kick and wail. And so the great man's heart, is sore, and life seems gray and flat, and oft at night he walks the floor and wonders where he's at. AVe choose a skipper for our ship, u skipper brave and strong, but ere lie's had a chance to skip, we show him where he's wrong AVe sny he's steering for the rocks before he's under way, and criticisms, sneers and knocks confound him day by day. En couragement the skipper courts and all he gels is blame; and yet we think we're dead game sports, who play a decent game. The man who has a station high is much like Kieliard Hoe; if he is praised, he'll strive and try to make the business go. He's just as human as he was when he was pounding sand; his nature doesn't change, because he's foremost in the land. With honest pride, emotions high, lie feels his bosom swell,' when people rear on end and cry, "Good boy! You're doing well!" How Much Do You Know? 1.
