Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1915 will
make or break most farmers in the
Cotton States. We are all facing a
crisis on cotton. Cotton credit is up
set. The supply merchant cannot ad-
vance supplies on 1915 cotton. You
must do your best to produce on your
own acres the food and grain supplies
that have made up most of your store
debt In the past.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. 1t will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres of cotton you
ever grew! But it must be real
garden, and not the mere one-plant-
Ing patch in the spring and fall.
Hastings 1915 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of a money-sav-
ing garden and the vegetables to put
In it. 1t tells about the field crops
as well and shows you the clear road
to real farm prosperity, comfort and
independence. IT'S FREE. Send for

ic leaders for what he characterized
as extravaganza.
"The appropriations OF this ses-
sion have shamefulry disregarded
\ the principles of sound business and
true economy. With revenues fall
II ing and precarious, with business
and commercial conditions furious
and unsteady, with a steady month
lily deficit and no assured prospects
of its relief, and with cash fund
reduced to point that has general
lily been deemed unsafe, the Admin
istration has recommended and the
Congress has authorized expendi-
lures on q larger scale than ever be-
fore, and no step has taken to meet
the prospective deficit
THAT is not the way the finances
of government should be admin
istered. There ought to be some
proportion between income and out
go and their relations ought not to
be ignored and their accommodation
left to chance. That seems to have
been the only fiscal policy of this
session.
The Executive has been more
reckless and improvident than Con-
gress and with less excuse. The
prevalent opinion that Congress is
mainly to blame is correct. 1t is
the Executive which is primarily at
fault. 1t ought to be vastly easier
for, the President and Cabinet,
small executive body, exempt from
the dangers of log rolling, to survey
the whole field, calculate the reve-
nues and cut the estimates to cor
respond. But they have been wholly
recreant in that duty. With the
evidence of falling revenues plainly
before them they have not hesitated
to demand increased expenditures,
and instead Of obeying the law and
guiding Congress to obvious and i'm
oerative economies, Congress has
oeen obliged to restrain and prune
heir reckless estimates.

CURRENT THINKING
SMALL TOWN OFFERS THE MOST

1--WE always been a believer in
young men getting out Of the city,
especially New York" said a Broad
street business man particularly
those who are educated and who
have been accustomed to some So
cial recognition. with salary small
for New York and not knowing the
kind Of people they have been accus-
toned to. they are mighty apt to
drift the wrong way.
"A year ago I knew here a young
fellow Of the kind I describe. He
was nice chap and had a fairly
good position as a mechanical
craftsman and designer He had an
offer to go to country town up
state as craftsman and designer
in factory and came to ask me
about it. There was no advance in
salary, the future didn't promise
much more than his New York place
and he liked the glamour of the
great city so well that he didn't want
to leave it, At once | began argu

GOLDEN DAYS

NAN HEREVER he may live
" the man who wrote the
following fanciful verse
knew something about eastern
Oregon weather in the fall
time:
" Autumn's on a shining throne
not preaching from a
place
Where winds that make the
music fear to run a mad
cap race;
The earth is all-delighting in
her merry, trickey ways
Melodious nights are singing
to the dawn of golden
days"
These are golden days in the
inland empire. There is gold
en- sunshine every day and
gold is Mother Natures color
in the autumn, There are
warehouses full of golden
grain and there is a golden
profit in selling that wheat at
.85 cents bushel and upwards
So there is joy for those who
love the beautiful for beauty's
sake and for those who love
the comforts that accrue tC
themselves and families wher
they reap the rewards of toi
and patience.
If there are any pessimistg
in eastern Oregon at this time
then all they need do is oper
their eyes and their fears viii
change to smiles.

other steps to take for success
tul beef raising. A glorious
picture is painted Of the profits
that may be made in the busi-
ness.
After they have gone into
the business, if they take the
advice offered, southerners
will learn there are difficulties
connected with the selling end
as we'll as the producing end of
the beef industry. Those who
raise fine beef are not always
able to realize the prices they
expect and seem to deserve.
They will find that the beef
packers have feeders of their
own which they are able to
throw into the market at favor
able times so as to depreSS the
price. Yet the farmer will
have to sell even under unfa-
vorable conditions because it
is expensive to feed his stock.
The beef industry is profit
able indeed, but the richest
haul is made by the packers,
not by the growers.

1T IS A PRIVATE AFFAIR

q ONE people will regret
80 the announcement of the
q presidents coming mar
riage, feeling that loyalty to
his first wife should have kept
him widower. Others will re-
joice at the affair feeling there
is need of a lady to preside
over the White House social
duties and that even a presi-
dent should not live alone.
AS a matter of fact the ques-
ton is immaterial. This is a
republic, not a monarchy. The
private affairs Of the president
ere his private affairs. The
real concern of the country is
not in the social life of the
White House but in the admin
istrative work of the president.
President Wilson has shown
himself exceedingly capable in
the duties that devolved upon
him. He has shaped legisla-
ton along helpful, progressive
lines, bringing about long need
ed Improvements, particularly
in the currency system. He
has followed a strong foreign
policy, forcing respect for Am
erican rights, yet keeping the
nation secure from the calam-
ity of war.
These are the matters in
which the country has a con-
Germ; the domestic affairs of
the president are his own. 1t
is silly to place much stress
upon White House social do
ings of any sort. 1t smacks of
royalty and is not in keeping

WHOLESALE

n HE scope of the fighting
V in Europe is said to be so
vast there is little room
for strategy or generalship. 1t
is chiefly a matter of guns,
ammunition, supplies, trench
eS and men. Before the recent
French advance in the west
there was a 60 hour lombard
ment of the German first line
of defense. 1t was literally
necessary to shoot the Ger
mans from their positions.
There we're no frills about the
fighting. No spectacular at
tackS or surprises in the night.
No crossing the Delaware
stunts or 20 mile rides like
Sheridan made. 1t was milli-
ons of men against millions Of
men. The forces move enmasse
and the individual soldier is
but a drop in the ocean. Bat
teries fire at forces they cam
not see, the positions being To-
Gated by mathematical calcu-
lation. Men die by hundreds
of thousands and little is
thought about it because those
who go to the front expect to
die.
This is a wholesale war not
a retail affair such as the world
has usually known.
