A broker Illuminating over the pros
and cons Of the bull and bear arguments
on Steel yesterday found much more
ammunition on the bull side than on the
bear. The best arguments which the
latter party could nah for a recession
in the price of the stock. he said. were
the possible temporary adverse effects
Of a railroad strike and the early ending
Of the var. On the bull side no one be-
iieves tina. there will be a serious rail-
road strike. II there Is one at all. while
there are no indications that the war
will end for another year at least. which
means increased profits for the Steel Cor
poration. Moreover. n week from yes
terday 2k per cent. In dividends comes
OF Steel m making 1t more at
tractive from a speculative viewpoint.
Aside from all these arguments is the
fact that t%wo-thirds Of the September
quarter IS nearly over. and It would
seem that the earnings for this quarter
will be Just as good II not better than
those for the June quarter.

Brokers' Loans Increase.

The recent activity in stocks. coupled
with the increased public participation
which II caused. Is said to have resulted
in a big jump in brokers' loans. In some
circles It is stated that they have reached
the highest figures for the year. which
means that they are higher than they
have been since the big bull market OF
part OF the summer there was 20 little
activity In the market that loans were
scaled down generously. Now the re-
verse Is said to be true. and owing to
the belief OF the public that II Ia only
a question Of time before another move
ment Is inausurated to put Steel across
par. loans are still on the Increase.

The Oregon Farmers Duty.

An Oregon Farmer contributor thus
states the purposes that should con-
troll the farmers of Oregon:
To grow as good fruit as can be
grown anywhere on earth, and bet
ter than most sections can grow.
To have roads so good that we
can haul as much at one load as we
now haul in two loads, and do it
with more comfort.
To encourage the preservation OF
the forests so that these forests will
hold the SHOWS that furnish water for
irrigation, and thus prevent floods in
the lower valleys by the sudden melt
ing of the SHOWS and rushing Of the
waters toward the seas.
To be broad enough to see the good
in all countries with no less love for
our own.
To be just enough to acknowledge
the rights of others, even when they
conflict with our own.
To become so well organized that
we can obtain our rights, if Others
fail to grant them.
To grow class of men and women
that will be as noted for their eX-
cellence Of character as our fruit is
noted for its beauty.
To make our homes places OF
health, happiness and love.
We know this can not be done in
day, month, or a year; but if we
hold the ideal steadily in mind we
will be surprised at the rapidity OF
approach toward it.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WE'LL.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Dallas People Know How to
Save It.

Many Dallas people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting the kid
neys when they know these organs
need help. Weak kidneys are respon
sible for vast amount OF suffering
and i'll health, but there is no need
to suffer nor to remain in danger.
Use Doan's Kidney Pills-a remedy
that has helped thousands OF kidney
sufferers.
The following statement leaves no
ground for doubt:
Mrs. F. W. Fairbanks, Airlie, Ore
gon, says: IT recommend Doan S
Kidney Pills just as highly today as
l did when I gave MY first recommen
dation in 1918, regarding the benefit
one of my family received from them.
Since then, I have taken Doan's Kid
ney Pills myself for tired, bear
ing-down feeling across my kidneys
and they have never failed to stop
that awful misery and put my kidneys
in good working order"

PRUNES FAIL
INSTEAD OF $4,000 TONS, 1916
CROP IS 1,100.
Foreign Demand Will Be Stronger
Growers Feel Confident Market
Will Go Up.

Two cables that filtered through the
French censor to the Call and Post
Of San Francisco give the 1916
French prune crop as LOO and 1000
tons respectively. The normal crop
is between 10000 and 27,5OO tons. A
few days ago the San Francisco pa
per published story that the French
crop was a failure and the southern
city's dealers Immediately became in
terested. In answer to query the
confirmation of the story was receiv-
ed in the following cable: "We have
investigated and agree with you. The
crop is a total loss - The first cable
received was from Paris, the second
from Bordeaux.
A. G. Peterson, manager of the To-
cal branch of the j: X. Armsby Pack
ing company, said today that the
knowledge that the French crop was
short had been known for some time
but he doubted whether the entire
crop was loss, despite the Call s
story.
''The French prune is the petite
prune, raised extensively in Califor-
MIA but very little in Oregon. If any
one is helped California growers will
be. But with the small foreign de-
mand, the difficulty of exchange and
the war it is not likely that the
French crop loss will react very ia
vorably in the United States.
"It is not question Of what
France would normally need but
what she will take. A loss of 24,OOO
tons might mean but very small
proportion of that amount ordered
here.
"However, it may help the Oregon
market. +"

fence, Paskert has been playing re-
markable game. He has always been
brilliant fielder, but this season he
is surprising anything he did before.
If the fan who does not know Paskert
personally could hear him talk and
see him going through the routine of
daily life he would marvel at the fine
showing Dode makes on the baseball
field.
Paskert is a pessimist of the most
malignant variety. He is never sat
isfied with anything. If he gets
base hit he is sure to mourn because
he did not make two, and he can al
most prove to you that he should be,
at least morally. credited with that
hit. As a rule persons with such Lon
don-fog dispositions make poor ath-
letes Dode is therefore an exception
His pessimism seems to spur him on
to greater efforts rather than to les
sen his desire to excel.

GREAT NORTHERN TO
OBEY ADAMSON LAW
Hintcd Santa Fe Chosen to Violate
Bill in order to Force Government
Action in Bringing About Test.

ST. PAUL, Sept. Sit is announc-
ed the Great Northern will obey the
Adamson eight hour law. 1t is hint
ed the Santa Fe was chosen to flag
rantly violate the bill and force gov
ernment action by bringing test
case before the supreme court. The
Santa Fe was chosen on account OF
it's strong legal department Z. T.
Riley, president of the santa re-
made the following statement:
Congress, hastily acting under a
threat Of four leaders of labor organ
izations, enacted a so-called eight
hour law, which is nothing more or
less than an advance of 20 to rs per
cent in the wages OF the best PAID
men in railway service. 1t is only
fair to the public and to our employees
to say that the Atcilison, Topeka ana
Santa Fe railway company does not
intend to comply with the law until
ordered to do so by the court of last
resort
There is no likelihood that any
class Of Sante Fe employees Will re-
ceive increased salary until the wage
trouble with the trainmen is settled,
Ar. Ripley said later.
Il have said, and still maintain,
that any other class Of railroad work
ers is entitled to more money than
the trainmen," MI. Riley explained
but by saying that other workers
than trainmen are entitled to more
money, l do not mean TO say that We
have in mind any advance in wages
for any of our employees.
Advances will certainly await the
outcome of the argument with the
brotherhoods."
