THE RED CROSS IS CALLING
The Red Cross is calling. It is calling for aid for little
Belgian children whose fathers died defending the honor
and faith of their country and making their bodies a bul
wark against the autocracy that would have enslaved the
world, and we of America with it.' It is calling for aid
for little French children too, whose fathers lives were
laid willingly on the altar of Liberty that the world might
still be free. It is calling for aid for those whose world
was shut out by German shells and who must live in dark
ness so long as life lasts. It is calling for aid for the help
less and the suffering Serbians who sacrificed all but
honor against Prussian autocracy. It is calling for aid
for those who fall wounded at the front and to whom the
ambulance with its flaming cross of red means hope and
help and perhaps life. It is calling for aid for our own
boys who but a few days ago marched away so bravely
with colors flying but who will soon be offering their lives
in the cause of liberty in the trenches of France. Imagine
if you can how much money Salem would pour out if one
half the boys of company M were lying wounded and help
less in the storm and cold, to have' them brought to safety
and to where their wounds could be dressed, and then
cared for by tender hands. Some of these boys will need
just this help and thousands of others, not from Salem,
but "our boys" just the same, must depend on the Red
Cross for aid when helpless upon the battlefields of
France. Just bear this in mind when you are asked to
join the Red Cross and refuse if you can.
' FARMERS BRANCHING OUT
Eastern folks steadily refuse to understand that con-,'
ditions in the great west and their own neck of the woods
are different. This is demonstrated in Fuel Administrator
Garfield's order to Portland to go without lights in order
to save fuel. He did not know, and being an easterner
took no trouble to find out, that cities of the great north
west are lighted by water power, not by coal. Just when
the order came to Portland to douse her glims the Wil
lamette was pouring a mighty flood past the power
houses at Oregon City and other floods were roaring
down the Clackamas rushing untrammeled to the sea, ;8tar8-

TWO NIGHT BETOBE CHRISTMAS.
It was two nights before Christmas.
Every pavement was a beautiful broad
ribbon of white snow, under which lurk
ed a sheet of slippery ice. And down
on the peaceful scene shone 5,676,987
Salem and other valley towns. There is enough water
power "Gifford Pinchoted" in the state of Oregon to
furnish a broad glare of light for all the cities in the
United States and then some, but unfortunately not
enough to enlighten congress.
Giving your money to the Red Cross might keep Kerr
of the 0. A. C. from getting it, anyway.

Pausing before the window of Tit
tlecuss's jewelry store, he sliced a neat
and attractive hole out of the plate
glass and, thrusting his arm through, se
lected eight gold Burywater watches, a
necklace of assorted pearls, rubies and
zimiiestones, and an ivory handled can
1 opener.
Then he hurried to Eyeopener's fur
shop, helped himself to a handsome
skimpskin muff and a flivvertigibb:
stole, and continued on the rounds of th
very best shops until at i a. m. he was
loaded down with all he could carry. He
was only a block awav from his home
when Policeman Max Murphy collared
him.
"Officer let me explain," said Anna
dillus Twinge earnestly. "I admit I got
them all through holes in shop win
dows, but every article is going to be
given awav as a Christmas present, on
mv word of honor. You know how hard
times are, officer, and it was either
that or let a lot of innocent expectant
peoplo suffer."
'That's different," said the police
man, letting go of him. "The same
thing's been worryin' me. Thanks for
the tip, and now if you's .pist give me
the location of the stores with the holes
in the windows."

The farmers of Baker county have a fifty barrel flour
mill in operation and will sell flour to the public on a basis
of cost plus ten per cent. This idea is evidently gaining
ground for a company of this kind is purposed at one of
the valley towns. This is another thing the war is teach
ing, and it means that when that war is past there will be
a change in business affairs little short of revolutionary.
Circumstances are teaching the farmer that he can get
out from under the thumbs of some of the corporations
by becoming to a certain extent a manufacturer. He has
had this demonstrated for years, only his manufactures
were of such a class that he did not consider them as such,
but called them "stock farming." The farmer who put
his corn into cattle and hogs wa always the prosperous
farmer, for the simple reason that his product was in the
nature of a manufactured one. If he sold-his corn to some
one else to feed to stock, he lost just the profit that other

When anything goes wrong with me, I
don't rear up and curse, but think of chaps
across the sea, who suffer nine times worse.
I have rheumatics in my bones, these mar
rowbones of mine, and sometimes I would
hand out groans, and shed some tears of
brine; and then I think of men who fight in
trenches far away; they crouch in water
through the night, and toil through mud by
day. They have so many kinds of aches, so
many sores and sprains, they think rheuma
tic twinges fakes, mere imitation pains.
Then I'm ashamed to roar and beef, and
cuss my luck ill-starred; I take my little
tinhorn grief and plant it in the yard. Sometimes depres
sion comes along, and burdens down my soul; I feel that
things are going wrong, and hope is in the hole. Pre
sentiments of coming ill through all my being flow; and
then I think of Kaiser Bill, who's cornered human woe.
How long would any ill of mine compare with ills of his?
And now the sun begins to shine, and I remark, "Gee
whiz !" Though you may feel misfortune's prod, afflic
tion's jolt and jar, if you will only look abroad, you'll see
how blest you are.

the same way? 'Why not instead of selling his wheat to
someone else to make a profit and manufacture it him
self by co-operation and get the increased profit? .
The only question in the matter is as to how far he can
carry this plan. It is conceded that followed to its legiti
mate conclusion it would be just as reasonable to insist
he should operate a bakery in connection with his flour
mill and so get the enhanced profit from that source.
That he will not go to that extent is probable, but that
in the years to come the farmer is to have a greater share
in the preparation of his products on their way to the
consumer is a certainty. 1 he war is revolutionizing lots
of things besides the Russian governments.
The Oregonian isn't bragging a bit about the Kerr
fa.Yiry grab, put over on the strength of the fake story
about Kansas bidding for the 0. A. C. president. In fact,
the Oregonian is just now engaged in a desperate effort
to forget its part in one of the most humiliating incidents
in the history of Oregon when the head of one of its
educational institutions secured a raise of salary under
false pretensions of the rankest kind.
