THE MINIMUM PRICE

The food control law recently
enacted provides for a minimum
ice Of $500 per bushel for
wheat next year. This is a recog-
milton of an important fact, or,
rather a series of important
facts, 1t is an acknowledgment
that the business of farming is
precarious; that the farmer of
all people is engaged in an un-
dertaking whose profits are
doubtful. 1t is also a recognition
Of the necessity of assuring an
adequate production of food
supplies.
These things are recognized at
a time when the farmer is re-
ceiving the largest prices and
reaping the largest profits in
the history Of agriculture in
America. If this is true now.
how much more important is it
to recognize the same facts in
ordinary times when the farmer
is confronted by the prospects of
only ordinary prices.
What is true Of grain farming
is true Of other branches of agrl--
culture. We have recently seen
in the news dispatches complaints
that farmers are killing their
young calves for veal instead Of
raising them and thereby produc-
ing a larger quantity of meat.
Complaint is also made that
farmers are killing poultry at
young age instead of raising it
to a matured size. In neither of
these instances is the killing of
young animals or fowls due to
any desire on the part of the
farmer to relieve himself of la
Dor. If he kills young animals
or poultry, it is because he has

Black and Yellow A State Road

We have reasonable assurance
that the Black and Yellow trail
will be designated as a state road
is the statement of 0. NJ. Phelps
secretary of the Black and Yel-
low trail association. "No state
roads are designated yet, and
the highway commission has as
yet made no complete plans.
Engineer Peck of the commits
sion is at present travelling over
the state getting first-hand in
formation about the relative i'm
portance of roads in each county.
1T is expected that as a result
of this investigation the state
highway commission will formu-
ate a system of state roads to be
covered by a five year period of
road construction. OF course. it
is hoped that the system will be
made up of the great trunk lines
and branches extending into
each county.
According to the published
tentative plans of the highway
commission, it is their purpose to
district the state and begin this
year to improve the roads in
the first district, composed of
the counties along the eastern
edge of the state. Each county
must raise an amount equal to
the amount of state and federal
appropriation spent on the roads
in that county.

Big Production Cominp

Submarine warfare which with
all its terrors has been brought
TO the very gateway of America
by the underwater fighting craft
is wildly pictured in Thos. Fl.
Inces million dollar cinema spec
tacle which comes to the Gem
theatre for one day Aug. 29th

When Mr.. Ince produced the
wonderful spectacle showing a
submarine in action and the
sinking of a great ocean liner
loaded with women and children,
little did he dream that the
European powers would carry
this sensational method of sea
fighting almost to the shores of
this country.
Newspapers recently have been
filled with the details of sink
ing ships and submarines along
the Atlantic coast. In Civilization
this terrific war fare is pictured
in detail with hair-raising real
ism. The European countries by

he deducts the cost Of feed from
the price he receives for the
mature animal, he finds that he
has produced it at a loss. When
ever he finds that it will pay
to raise these food products,
there will be no complaint of
the wholesale slaughter of the
young.
Congress has attempted to
solve the problem of the grain
farmer by fixing a minimum
price. What will it do for the

stockman, the fruit grower. and

OLD '76 IN OREGON

Congressman Clifton N. Nc
Arthur, of Oregon, represents
the only congressional district in
the United States that was not
called upon to furnish soldiers un-
der the first selective draft. His
is the 3rd Oregon District and
includes the city Of Portland. So
large had the volunteer enlist
ments been in his district that
not one man was called by draft
and in the entire State only III
men were called. In one town,
Port Oxford, every man between
the ages Of 20 and 81 years vol
unfairly enlisted in some branch
Of the military service. Congress-
man Macarthur is satisfied that
no one will accuse the people of
Oregon of being "slackers.

rest, returned Friday from
Canada, where they have been
for some time, to their home

about 40 men were examined by
the board the first day.
According to statement made

Burned Mill;

The most welcome news in Be-

rebuilt.
Word has started to clean up the
debris on the site of the destroyed

menced.
The new mill will be a duplicate
of the one burned, which was the
second largest in the country, and
will cost approximately $25O,OOO.
The original mill cost approximately
100000 but the advance in the cost
of material and machinery is the
cause of the increase at present.
The mill will be ready for opera
