SAVING WHEAT SUBSIDY. Trio orHfiVinl stimulation of wheat production foi the present year may turn after all to have been a wise policy. The nation nas Deen reconciieu to iwmg auuui, a v.;m riniiaro nc n vpsnlt, nf the wheat guarantee to Amen- can farmers. This has been accepted philosophically as a war expense which could not be ioreseen. isut accru ing to the statements made by Herbert Hoover, interna tional food administrator, the government may not lose anything on the wheat crop. For instead of a great world surplus of wheat this year he foresees a possible deficit again. ; , , The close of the war has not immediately increased production. Several countries which naturally export wheat, among them Russia, Bulgaria, India, Roumama and Serbia, will have to import grain this year. Thus, if there is freedom in the world market the price will rise. Ameri can wheat, therefore, may actually be worth $2.26 a bushel, or even more than that, in the open market. It is too early yet to make more than a rough guess. But from the present outlook, even if the planting of spring wheatis as heavy as has been expected, and the American crop beats all records, it will still be needed and readily absorbed. - ; , ; The net results to the farmers and consumers in this country may be pretty nearly the same as if the price were kept up by a big subsidy to farmers. Even so, the public will find considerable satisfaction in the outlook, because it will have a billion dollars less taxes to pay, and will have the comfortable feeling that it is getting the worth of its bread money. ; Speaking in defense of the filibuster which marked the closing days of congress, Senator Sherman remarked that speech is not free in this country. In this case he was emphatically correct, for speech -which accomplishes noth ' ing but to postpone legislation immediately necessary to the welfare of a great country is not free. It is the most costly thing we have, says the La Grande Observer. . If the principle of self-determination were applied to Ireland, it would be a safe prediction that Gabriel's horn will blow before the question is finally settled. t t C Noiv Ready for - Delivery The highest quality car with standard features, combinning reliability with comfort.

S. senate committee appointed to investigate Bolshevik propaganda in this country has had placed be fore it. a great mass of "literature" gathered by agents of the department of justice. It ranges from well-bound volumes purporting to be legitimate works of history, or economics or politics down to cheap and crude pamphlets and leaflets whose objectionable nature is apparent at a glance. The collection is described as "documentary evidence of the indisputable spread of Bolshevik propaganda in the United States by well-paid emissaries of Lenine and Trotsky. Most of this reading matter is obtainable at so-called socialist book stores in New York, Chicago and other large cities. "It is evident that it is being scattered broadcast over the country," says the government repre sentative. "Through it the seeds of Bolshevism are be ing sown among the credulous, the uninformed and the discontented. Certainly the United States cannot afford to permit .this sort of thing. . Censorship is always dangerous and difficult busi ness. The United States has always prided itself on its "free press bv that term meaning freedom of publica tion for pamphlets and books as well as newspapers and magazines. . Any attempt to limit this treeaom must oe made cautiously and wisely, lest stupid or over-zealous officials do more harm than good. But some limitation there must be. ' " . !s - In normal times we might properly permit the free circulation of any sort of reading matter, except the mor allv indecent, as we did before the war. But in view of the present world-wide danger from Bolshevism, this sort of poison oecomes intolerable, especially wnen it is circulated with deliberate purpose by alien interests- Prompt steps should be taken against it by congress and the department of justice. A certain amount of con trol can be exercised through the postoffice. Beyond that it may be necessary to place bookstores under super vision, until such time as the peril shall have passed. Joseph W. Bailey, who quit the United States senate by request because his connection with the Standard Oil payroll was exposed, has just renounced the democratic party. His reasons are that the modern followers of Thomas Jefferson are too prone to flirt vHth woman suf frage and prohibition. Just where Joseph will land now he does not state, but it is safe to say that none of the existing political parties is preparing a warm welcome into its ranks for him. His reputation is anything but an asset. LIFT OFF CORNS! Freezone is magic! Corns lift off with fingers without pain - Senator Jim Reed, ex-criminal lawyer of shady notor iety and a gift of gab, refuses to resign from the high na tional legislative body at the request of large numbers of his Missouri constituents. Of course, Reed, Borah, Lodge, Chamberlain and all the rest of these peanut politicians will hold on until the "people have an opportunity to kick them out at a general election. Such men never resign. 3B8B8B8B8B8B8B8B RIPPLIMG RHYMES By Walt Mason THE CALLING VOICE. "Somewhere a voice is calling," I hear the plaintive lay, when evening 'shades are falling, and dusk is dim and gray; it's sung by youth and maiden, who lightly bear their years, who are not heavy laden, and worn by toil and tears. I see my daughter dolling herself ,in costly frills; somewhere a voice is calling on me to pay the bills; somewhere a voice is saying, "Your stand-offs gone to seed; come hither and be paying the money that we need." My folks are always falling for rugs and drug-gets nice; somewhere a voice is calling on me to raise the price. I sit and brood and ponder beneath my fig and vine, and long to be up yonder where all the planets shine. For life is sad and bitter, a long and weary road, and one who's not a quitter must always bear a load. There is no tune for stalling, no pause for rest or fun; somewhere a voice is calling for mon and still more mon. The good sport bears his burden, and hopes that when he dies he will receive rs guerdon a free pass to the' skies. Where silver streams are brawling by Eden's verdant hills, he'll hear no voices calling on him to pay the bills.

Troezone is the mysterious ether discovery of a Cincinnati genius. That ' Trip coffee and toast." I told him thru the closed door, then quickly disarranged the bed, and 'slipped into negligeo. All night long I had sat in my dinner gown, never thinking it uncomfortable because of the other thoughts which so filled my mind. , But les convenances must be ob served. Servants must not be given cause for gossip; though my heart ached and more than anything In tno world did I want to shut myself away from their prying eyes. But when the maid brought the tray I received her as usual And detained her a moment upon some trivial matter. So do we women hide our emotions so must We hide them. To my surprise, about ah hour later Mr. Frederick's card was brought 'to me. "Tell him I will be down in a few moments," I said, thon hurried into a suitable gown. 1 ' This is a surprise after the way you talked yesterday," I said to him after wo had exchanged greetings, "I reaiiy never expected to see you. again." "As bad as that?" his gray. eyes hold a twinkle. " Just as ba-d as that! " '1 had a few spare moments this morning and I could think of nothing better to do with them, nothing I so longed to do, as to spend thom with you. So I took my courage in both hands and made & call at this unearthly . ! hour for New York." "OU, but I am so glad you did! I was just wondering what I should do to pass the timo. I woke with a cead-j ache" I was afraid ho would notice i how tired I looked "and was just' thinking I would order the c&r and take a ride. I am so glad you came be fore I did so." "I have my car outside. Won't you let me take you for a-ridel We can tuik just as well, and the air may do you good." The idea appealed to me anu 4. iiur ricd to put 011 my wraps. For a iuuu, iu the car, we did not speak. The air was delightfully fresh and It blew so refreshingly upon my achinj; head and tired eyes that I was glad to just lean buk and enjoy the ease it gave mo.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too , much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and beats the mosrt expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can got this at any drug store, and a few ounc es will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required.-It 'makes an abund ance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,- Ibright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
