BREAD FROM ALFALFA.

Alfalfa is great feed" said DR..
d. f. Luckey. state veterinarian of
Missouri. 1T will not be long until
the leaves and stems will be ground
into a meal and alfalfa bread made
from 1t. This bread will In a great
measure take the place OF milk in a
well-balanced diet. l know a man
will not think favorably of such food
for himself and family, but it can be
made very palatable. 1t may to some
extent take the place of corn bread.
IF for any reason a scarcity Of
bread stuffs should occur in the
United States and the price of flour
and meal should go up extremely
high, I believe that alfalfa bread
would be used pretty extensively, pro-
vided, Of course, that the alfalfa crop
were not a failure at the same time,
"The seeds could not be used, as
that would be too rich for persons
stomach. He would soon die upon
the meal made from the seeds. 1t is
the stem and the leaves that will be
used"

he said: "Are all these people going
to walk?" Receiving an affirmative
reply he said; Then l will walk"
and no amount of persuasion could
induce him to ride, but striding into
line he lead lhe long procession for
five miles through the hot streets, out
into the parks, over the old battle-
grounds and back to the starting
place.
When Roosevelt said he would
walk the firemen yelled themselves
hoarse and had it not been for urgent
protests from grand officers, they
would have carried the president the
entire distance on their shoulders.
Tennessee does not soon forget
such exhibitions of the democratic
spirit as this and it is likely that the
seed of the Endorsement yesterday
was sown in that simple act in 1902,

MORMoNISM IN PRACTICE.

As the people of Union and Baker
counties see more of the practical
workings of Mormonism, they are
more and more deeply impressed with
the attractive and helpful features of
that church.
The Mormons mingle their religion
all through their every day lives and
depend upon the church, or 1.-The
stake" as the local societies are call
ed, for much of their every day in
formation and help.
For instance, a monthly meeting is
held in which every member of the
local society is expected to be pres
ent. 1t is to the especial benefit of
each member to be there and take
part, for here is a part of the serv-
ice: After a few songs and a few
remarks of a religious nature by one
of the elders, the presiding officer
then arises and asks If any brother
has a COW or horse, or a wagon, or
dozen chickens or a half dozen
hogs for sale.
A new brother has just come into
the valley and needs a lot of farming
equipment and he expects to buy it
from his brethren, if they have it to
SELL If any brother has any of the
articles named, he arises to his feet
and says so, stating the price he ex-
poets to receive and guaranteeing its
merits upon the honor of the church.
Within a few days the new brother
is equipped for work, through the In
formation given out at the meeting.
In the harvest time or at any other
time when members have produce
for sale which has not been disposed
of at the stores, it is announced in
the meeting that Brother Smith has
10 sacks of Early Rose potatoes for
sale at 81 per sack; or that Sister
Jones has four dozen Plymouth Rock
pullets for sale at $3.50 per dozen;
or that Elder Johnson desires to buy
four heifer calves and a set Of chain
harness and other announcements Of
this kind are made in this meeting,
with the result that every Mormon
who wishes to buy or sell is placed
in touch with those having what he
desires or wishing what he has to
sell.
In this way the church enters into
the daily life of the members. Their
religion is not left in church during
the week, but goes out into their
fields and workshops, willing, capa-
Bile and cheerful handmaiden serving
them, helping them, cheering them.

GROWTH OF RURAL DELIVERY

1t is now only fourteen years since
an appropriation of $4,000 was made
for experiments with the project OF
rural free delivery. AS recently as
10 years ago the appropriation for
this new service amounted to only
$4,000; last year It was more than
$25,000,000, while this year rural
free delivery will cost SS7,000,00O.
Every route proposed must be in
spected before it is accepted by the
department more than 100000 rural
carriers must be watched and paid
and all the minute requirements OF
the laws and regulations must be en-
forced. 1t is a great undertaking, and
We in the cities should bear witt
some patience the shortcomings OF
the service which we get while this
necessity of rural development, this
boon to the toiling millions on the
farms, receives the attention it SO
well deserves. All the improvements
needed will come in good time.

GOOD AS GOLD.

Portland bankers who are familiar
with financial conditions in the north
west declare that Umatilla county
banks. with their hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars in wheat receipts,
have far better assets than any other
northwest banks.
Wheat is as good as gold and will
yield gold in large volumes as soon
as it can be realized upon in the mar
kets In fact. wheat is about the
only commodity upon which gold will
be advanced now, under any circum-
stances and this is only in small
quantities. Government bonds are
not so good as the wheat crop. None
of the big securities average up with
wheat receipts and so Umatilla
county is in pink of condition COM
pared to some counties.
Let us exercise common sense and
not oppress our banks. They have
carried the burden of the harvest;
they have paid and paid and paid all
through the season until they must
now get returns from the crop.
Let us not hamper them by with
drawing funds they now hold. They
are safe, sound, ready to carry you
again and again and it would be
crime to needlessly oppress any one
of them.

MILLIONS PROGRESS.

It is surprising to the opponents Of
prohibition to see Milton grow with
out any revenue whatever from liquor
licenses. This old idea of liquor IL
censes has been ground into people
so long and so thoroughly that many
now believe that this is. or should be,
the only source of public revenue.
Milton is now extending her water
system at a cost of about $4,000 and
is adding $500 worth of new equip
ment to her municipal light and pow
er plant and expects to be able to
sell enough of her electric light and
power to pay her municipal expenses
in full.
For IS years she has had no saloons
and so has turned her attention to
the development of other resources
and has admirably succeeded. She
owns her electric light and power
plant, has a gravity system of city
water and is building up a flour mill
ing and fruit packing industry in the
Milton -Freewater district which Is
not surpassed in any town of thai
size in the northwest.
And to think that all this has beer
done without any help from liquor
licenses! It is an unanswerable argu
ment.

TENNESSEE FOR TEDDY.

The editor Of the East Oregonian
remembers very distinctly one little
incident in which President Roose-
welt figured in Chattanooga, Tenn,
which perhaps had something to do
with his Endorsement for the presi-
dency by Tennessee republicans yes
terday.
In 1902 the grand lodge Of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen
met at Chattanooga and President
Roosevelt was there and Joined the
order at that time, partly in fun,
partly because Of his personal ac-
quaintance and friendship for It's then
grand master, Frank Sargent, who is
now United States commissioner of
immigration.
When the parade, consisting Of S5,-
900 people, a dozen bands, hundreds
OF banners carried by the 400 lodges
represented and leading citizens, was
formed. a carriage was brought for
the president in which he was to
head the procession.
When he looked back over the long
line Of firemen and citizens on foot,

If the present financial furry has
the effect Of bringing the values. Of
the country down to legitimate and
sane basis it will have accomplished
great good for the country Every
thing has been too high and 1t has
been brought about by the inflated
values of corporation stock. The in
flated values have demanded more
income to pay dividends upon water
ed stock and so a rise in the price of
every commodity has resulted, the
entire burden falling at last upon the
helpless consumer. Squeeze out the
water and the cost Of living will be
reduced by 40 to so per cent, and
investors will still enjoy fair divi-
dends without expressing legitimate
Industries.

Since the past is not?
If my voice from far away
Can but reach your ear,
Pause an instant, Love, and say
That the Far is Near.
Louise Chandler Moulton.
