a little while mfo, when we had a sort
of notion that the profiteers would go?

Where's that movement, do you know?
Where are now the learned attorneys
whom ve often used to meet, as they
made their frantic Journeys to the

used to roar and thunder, how they'd
stamp the price hogs under, and de
prive them of their plunder, in the

Odds arid Ends
NO BETTER work has been done by Senator Chamber
lain than his exposure of the inhumanity and autoc
racy ruling the United States army. The cruelty to pris
oners guilty of minor offenses, the favoritism shown of
fending officers, and the rigid rules of caste governing,
show that Prussian ideals rather than American, rule the
army. For months the senior Oregon senator has val
iently contended for reform within the army. -
That this un-American system is due directly to
General March, is the charge made by Colonel James A.
Moss, a West Point graduate, veteran of three wars, an
officer of the A. E. F. and an author of note on military
topics, who has -resigned after 29 years of continuous
army service, rather than go to a school of line as a stud
ent where he was instructor for four years, because the
course would ruin his failing eyesight, and because he
did not see the necessity of making an officer of his age,
experience and standing go to school again.
"We hear of 'democratizing' the army," writes Colon
el Moss.- "What we ought to do is to humanize the army.
During the war the fundamental basic mistake has been
treating officers and men like so many 'numbers' entirely
ignoring the human element. As a result there exists to
day a spirit of discontent and resentment that borders on
bolshevism. The American people have no idea of the
amount of discontent, dissatisfaction and unrest in the
army, due to the high-handed, autocratic way. in which
the army has been administered, the pace having been set
by the chief of staff, General March, himself."
An autocrat, such as General March has proved him
self to be, has no business as chief of the armies of the
republic. General Pershing openly disobeyed March's
silly orders against wearing the Sam Browne beltbut
woe to the soldier of lesser rank who shows his inborn
democratic indifference to red tape hi the presence of the
haughty Poo-Bah of the army.
To reform the army, it will evidently be necessary to
begin at the top.

COMMENTING upon the Portland business men's ex
cursion to southern Oregon, the Portland Telegram
says: "The chief purpose is to convey t6 the people of the
invaded sections an assurance of actual, practical help. It
is incumbent upon Portland to give such assurance.
In the case of the construction of the Klamath Falls-Bend
railroad, for example, there is a chance for an excellent
beginning, but it demands cash rather than an uncertain
interchange of pleasantries and vague promises."
This is the whole issue ih a nutshell. Portland is long
on talk but short in cash when it comes to developing the
state. Portland has had such excursions before, social
junkets of jobbers for trade, but no Portland cash follow
ed to aid in upbuilding the communities visited.
Portland cash has been reserved for Portland pro
jects or Portland skyscrapers. The promoter of builder
from a distance was informed that the subject was one for
local investors and local banks to firance and passed up
by Portland Bank. And the projects have died abornin'
or been financed elsewhere. 4 -
The people of Oregon will have a chance now to see
whether Portland has at last awakened to her opportun
ities and duties as a state metropolis, or whether it is the
same old glad-hand bluff. If Portland finances the Klam
ath Falls-Bend railroad, we will know that cash has re
placed talk and Portland is becoming worth while.

a srurc WAY TO

,!,
There ia one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff t
once, and that is t dissolve it, then
you destroy it enth-ely. To-do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, com
mon liquid arvon from any drug store
(this Is all you will need), apply it
at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the tinner tips.
By morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
everyjringle sign and trnco of it, no
nmtter how much dandruff you may
have. 1 ,
You will find all Itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, luntrous,
glossy, silky aud soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better. (Adv)
Sage Tea Darkens "
Hair To Any Shade
Don't stay gray! Here's a simple
....rm-liie that anybody ran apply
tvltli a hulr brush .
The use . of Sage aud Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmoth
er's time. She used it to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and at
tractive. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect.
But -brewing at home Is mussy and
out of date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of "Wy
eth'a Sage and Sulphur Compound,"
you will get this famous old prepa
ration, improved by the addition of
other Ingredients, which can be de
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell H has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with It and
draw this through your hair taking
oho strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy. (Adv)

HowMuch Profit
Do You Pay Us?
The United States Department of
Agriculture informs us that you as an
average American Citizen, eat about one.
hundred and eighty-two pounds of meat
(181.83 lbs.) in a year.
Based on these figures, if you had purchased all .
of your meat foods from us, Swift & Company would
have profited to the extent of 48V& cents during the
first eight months of our present fiscal year.
In that eight months we averaged to make two
fifths of a cent on each pound of meat and all other
products sold.
I This profit you paid us equals 6 cents a month
or just about one street car fare!
j More than 30,000 shareholders looking to us as
trustees of their invested money, had to be paid a
reasonable return out of your 6 cents a month.
Volume alone made this possible.
Now figure for yourself how Government inter
