Talk is heard of subsidizing the railroads,
if the increase in freight rates will not care for
the expense of operation. This is a movement
which should be squelched at the start, for
there will be no end to requests for paternal
istic help. M any lines of business could find
reasons for a government subsidy.
The railroads should be required to clean
house before receiving any consideration
along the line of a subsidy. Railroad wages
may not be too high, although they are cer
tainly high enough, but there are many ways
in which revenues are bled by payments for
overtime, out of all reason. T oo many bureaus
are maintained with positions at high salaries,
and the Association of American Railways
alone supports 21 bureaus at great expense.
There are too many subsidiaries whose income
is not counted as transportation revenue.
Each railroad keeps scores of solicitors,
whose salaries and office and traveling ex
penses run into huge sums of money. The
shippers must bear this added expense. The
carriers have too many unnecessary expenses
and too much overhead to come forward with
good grace asking for a government subsidy.

Industry is moving to the south and west
at a rapid pace, according to close observers.
Ten years ago textile factories began leaving
the east for southern locations. Today the
movement is not confined to textile mills; fac
tories of many kinds are now joining in the
move.
Lower wages, reduced living costs, lighter
taxation and freedom from labor union troub
les are declared to be back of this movement.
It is noticeable that in choosing new locations
the factories are avoiding large centers of
population. Industry decided years ago that
concentration in and around the big cities of
many manufacturing concerns is detrimental
both themselves and the country.
This decision, and the results now evident
in carrying it out, are going to mean much to
towns like Cascade Locks.
It is bound to
result eventually in a decrease in size and
importance of the big cities of the country
and the growth of our smaller towns and
cities as industrial centers.
The southern
states, for instance, already have shown
plenty of proof of this. The growth in towns
hctween 1.000 and 5,000 has been remarkable
through the south in the past 10 years. W ill
these towns not become the fair-sized cities
of the next 10 years? N o. say the wise ones.
Industry has learned its lesson. It prefers to
do business in many small towns rather than
in one large city. Not only is this seemingly
the wisest way for industry, but best for the
American people.

There s no excuse for anyone with a plot
of ground large enough for growing vege
tables not having a garden, and no matter
what the weather conditions are at this mo
ment. it is not too late to start one that will
prove a fine investment before the coming
.summer is over. Not only is it a good invest
ment. but a garden affords a healthy and
wholesome exercise, and since many people
fail to get a sufficient amount of exercise it
may also prove economical from still another
standpoint- it may save doctor bills. But it
is the satisfaction of having fresh, home
grown products for the dinner table, right
out of your own garden instead of out of your
pocket, that stamps a garden as worth while.
W e know it is pretty hard to keep from
“ burning out
under the hot suns that will
come a little later on. and it takes a lot of
fighting to lick the weeds. But there is al
ways more genuine pleasure in doing some
thing hard than something easy— and that is
just one more of the many reasons why the
man or woman who is not garden-minded is
losing out on a fine investment.

T o the average boy a kite is nothing more
than a few sticks and some paper and twine.
It appears on the surface of it to be just about
the most innocent toy ever invented.
And
yet, newspapers in various parts of the country
have found it necessary to issue warnings to
kite flyers, especially since several fatalities
have resulted from it. The kite, so long as
it consists of only paper, sticks and string,
is not dangerous. It is when a few feet of
wire to form the frame, or a light strip of
copper to help form the tail are added that
the kite becomes dangerous, and the danger is
traveling in every electric wire that runs above
the head of the boy who is flying the kite.
Coming in contact with a "live wire," the
kite that contains metal of any sort becomes
a conductor of electricity, and if it happens to
be a high-tension wire, enough electricity can
be carried down through the kite strinq to
kill. Children are not expected to know this,
and the kite-flying season is at hand: parents
should see that they arc cautioned without
delay.
CELILO
O! Celilo, Mineehaha;
Close beside your laughing water.
Tucked in shacks, instead of tepees,
Wafts the Indians’ happy laughter.
With hair bobbed,
Instead of long braids
Shirt and skirt instead of buckskin,
High heel shoe, instead of moccasin;
Using language, of perfect English,
Camped they there to catch the big
fish;
Bubbles high! bubbles low;
Laughing water, O ! Celilo.
—Alma Bedsaul-
Parkdale, Ore.
Recipes . . .
♦
STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE
Sift together 1 pint of flour, 1 tea
spoon of salt, 4 teaspoons of baking
powder (level), chop in 2 tablespoons
of butter. Wet with milk for a soft
dough (about % cup usually.) Bake
12 minutes. Split and butter and put
the following between and on top: 1
cup crushed strawberries, 1 cup
sugar, 1 beaten egg white. Beat all
together until firm. Then trim the
top of cake with whole berries or
some cut in halves.
♦
Fish Croquettes—
One pint cold boiled fish, free from
skin and bone, minced fine, with 1
•pint hot mashed potatoes; 1 table
spoon butter; % cup hot milk; 1 egg
well beaten; pepper and salt and
little chopped parsley.
Mix thoroughly and let cool; when
cold mix into balls, dip into beaten
egg, roll in bread crumbs and fry in
hot fat, or just roll them into flour
if egg prices are too high. For a
sauce, add 2 hard-boiled eggs cut in
thin slices to white sauce.
Household Hints
♦
To improve the flavor of carrots,
turnips, cabbage, onions and peas,
add a fourth of a teaspoon of sugar
for each three cups of water used in
cooking.
♦
Meat rubbed well with vinegar be
fore cooking is less likely to be
tough.
♦
Fresh rhubarb needs little water
when it is cooked as a sauce and
none at all when it is used in a pie-
♦
Candlewick spreads s h o u l d be
washed in plenty of hot water and
soap suds. They should then be
rinsed several times in clear, warm
water and hung up in the shade to
dry. When they are perfectly dry,
they should be placed, tufted side
down, in a cotton blanket and pres
sed gently with a warm iron.

A Kansas
hours the
women, and
was— of all
woman's club debated for four
most dreaded disease among
then reached the conclusion it
things— lockjaw!
It remains a debatable question whether the
automobiles are ruining the younger genera
tion or whether the younger generation is
ruining the automobiles.
When using buttons for trimming
it is best to use the shank style of
button. Instead of sewing on in the
usual way, work tiny buttonholes
the size of the shank. Slip the but
ton into these holes and fasten on
the underside with a safety pin.
This saves much time when launder
ing and lengthens the life of the
button.
♦
Make leftover rice into cakes, fry
them in bacon fat and serve with
maple syrup. They're delicious.
♦
Man is never satisfied. If he is poor, he
stews over his debts and if he gets hold of
some money he can't sleep for fear somebody
will steal it.
People who have a reputation for making
money hand over fist usually manage to keep
their hands and fists over it, too.
Another trouble with the soft answer is that
while it may turn away wrath it won’t turn
away a hard-luck story.
Thinking her nose is shining makes a
woman feel as uncomfortable as a four week's
growth of beard makes a man.
W e are told that there are 293 ways of
making change for a dollar. That’s interest
ing. but how do you get hold of the dollar?
Some few girls have a fine sense of humor,
but most all of them have a fine sense of
rumor.
Too much flour in cakes causes
them to hump in the middle or have
a tough, cracked crust.
♦
To prevent griddle cakes from
sticking, rub the hot griddle fre
quently with salt firmly in a piece
of cloth. Keep this up all during
the baking.
♦
The dwarf dahlias used for bed
ding purposes are single but arc very
pretty and have a long flowering sea
son. The Coltness gem hybrids are
the best known, but several other
kinds are being listed in this spring's
catalogues. These dahlias are grown
from seed.
Scientists at t h e University of
Southern California have discovered
that “ the very chemicals in onions
and garlic which bring tears to the
eyes have germ killing powers which
may be useful in fightjng disease.”
Investigations are now being made
to determine the usefulness of these
mildly poisonous chemicals in heal
ing diseases caused by germs.
Approximately one and one-half
billion dollars are spent on highway
construction a n d maintenance in
this country every year. Only about
one per cent as much is spent in
organized traffic safety work, ac
cording to Secretary of State Earl
Snell.
