The Pathos of Distance
 E. T. MEREDITH Mission Britan From Nations Bun)

In England and France I have seen things which wish could be burned in- to the conscience of every business man in the United States. I have seen factories in ruins, office buildings blown to bits, commercial districts, miles in extent, lying deserted and silent, grass growing in the streets like places of dead-everything that years, perhaps hundreds of years of patient industry had built up and passed on as heritage from father to son-all vanished.
 We in America have known nothing like this. We can know nothing like it. Thanks to our Allies, these ex- periences will be kept from us1 That factory of yours in New England, that mine of your neighbours in Michigan, that farm I own in Iowa-they are being protected today by the untold sacrifices of the soldiers, the business men, the women of England and of France.
 Why then should we complain? Why should we protest that our business is ruined? Why should we bewail lessened profits, cavil at high prices, inconvenience, hard conditions? Why should we rage at the disaster that overtakes our business?
 Our business! Let me tell you something more of what "our busi- ness" means in England and France as I have seen it. I talked with busi- ness executives, past their prime, men so old and weary that they would be glad to stop a bit and rest before they die. Yet they carry on. They, like those famed old legionaries of France, "have no time to die." They battle with conditions which in month, a week, day, may sweep everything out of existence. I saw a great ship builder, a fine old Briton at his work all three of his sons gone. At his side stood the grandfather, now in his eightleth year, doing what he could. I talked to a barberthe sole survivor of four brothers. I was chauffeured by a one-time British capitalist-it was his own car-and one of his legs, soldiers reward, was made in the United States!
 These business men overseas, our Allies, are war weary. The strain is great, the enemy strong. Bitter is their lot. But they do not protest? Do they despair? No! Grimly they carry on. Again and again they send their sons to battle front. Their daughters-they see them rise at six in the morning to search the casulty lists for the name of a brother or

Reports emanating from Washing ton have been telling us of the riot ous ramblings of the cost of living, the decrease in the size of the dollar, how little dollar will buy, and they have been giving us a bewildering array of figures which would tend to make one believe how much warse off he is now than he was in 1914.
 One report states that a dollar has shrunk to 54 cents in Washington and Baltimore to 75 cents in Philadelphia, to 59 cents in New York and 65 cents in San Francisco. A report issued by the National Industrial Conference Board shows that there has been an in crease of from 50 to 55 per cent in the cost of living since 1914, itemized as follows:
 Food ...............62 .62 per cent Rent ................. .15 per cent Clothing IT per cent Fuel and light .......... .45 per cent Sundries ............... 50 per cent Ahho SiNCo tiC oNSA dSC lhSASeoS, betoSu upon an apportionment of these re- spective items in the family budget of 50 to 55 per cent.
 All of these figures are given, how ever, without consideration of the in creased size of the dollar. To be ac- curate, this should be measured by the number of days that man has to work to pay his bills. Statistics bas- ed on the study of 12,OOO families by the U. S. Department of Labor Sta tistics show that 43 per cent of the daily income goes for food, IS per cent for rent, 13 per cent for clothing and per cent for fuel and light. This leaves a balance of 20 per cent for insurance, savings, taxes, doctors bills, gifts and charity, lodge and club dues, vacations, recreations and in- vestments.
 It must be remembered that this balance of 20 per cent has risen in the same proportion that wages have in-

TREATMENT OF AMERICANS
 IN GERMAN PRISON CAMPS

The American Red Cross authorizes the following:
 A statement recently appeared in the Official U. S. Bulletin that anything written by American prisoners of war in Germany must be taken as of slight value, because prisoners are compelled to say their food and accommodations are good. This statement, which is per fectly true when taken literally, and in it's narrowest interpretation as refer ing to German supplies, has caused un- necessary anxiety to the families of American prisoners. The occasional ly enthusiastic letter which depicts a German prison camp as something very like an American country club is German propaganda, pure and sim pie. We know only too we'll how false it is. Ocassoianlly letters slip through proving this. For example one man wrote, Absolutely dependent on Red Cross food parcels sent," and another, "Food parcels absolutely nec- essary to prevent slow starvation"
 Parcels Reaching Prisoners
 We have the best possible evidence that the food, clothing and money sent to American prisoners by the Red Cross actually reaches them and makes their condition endurable. It is not only that the men acknowledge the parcels, the Spanish inspectors who visit the camps report to the State Department that the parcels are be- ing received. Furthermore, the few prisoners who have escaped and the thousands of British and French pris- oners now interned in Switzerland say that their parcels reached them and that they were in consequence compar- atively comfortable. The statement in The Official U. S. Bulletin was not intended to throw doubt on this fact, and the public should not, therefore, read into it an interpretation which was never meant to be there.

sweetheart, then depart for a long days work in factory, field or office. They themselves-even their nights are not given them for rest. When evening comes they report for spec ial duties. In the British capital thirty thousand of them-bankers, lawyers lords and sirs, the shop keepers of London, men tod old, too crippled, too sick to serve at the front police the darkened streets.
 l was in London when sons of these men gave their lives to plug up the neck of Zeebrugge Harbor. l felt then, as l know nowJ that by that heroic deed, they defended not only the Thames and the coast of Kent, but the harbors of Boston, New York, Charleston. Those lads over there stand on guard before our mills, our stores, our homes. Their spirit Their will to win at any cost-is en- ulated by their business elders at home.
 Our business? Our profits? Our lives? Good God, will we never open our eyes to see the truth? Can we ever repay the debt we owe? The time has come for us the commercial men of this country, to relieve our French and British Allies overseas of their appalling burden. Their sol- diers are now our soldiers, as truly as if they wore our uniform; and our boys are theirs. Business over there, too, is American business. It is fight ing the battle that will save us, along with the people of England and France from destruction. A British or French plant wiped out is an American plant wiped out. A French town bombed is an American town bombed. Blood drawn there-we bleed also. We are one allied people in this fight. And united we stand-on both sides of the sea!

NEW PROBLEMS

One of the problems recently arising in connection with the camp near Deming, N. M., is that of girls and young women who come to Deming to be near someone" in the camp. They often come with little money, expect ing to find work, and then find that Deming is so small there is no work to be had. The Y. w. c. A. is' aiding these girls as fast as they arrive, often assisting them in getting back home again.

As part of its war work, the Y. w. c, A. has undertaken to lend its ex- perience in housing and group organi- zation in communities employing agri- cultural units made up of girls. A Land Service department to handle this work has been organized.

AGED Citizen Passes

Jesse Reeves, 81 years old and
for % years a well-known and re-
spected citizen of Weston. died
Monday night at his home in this
city, after a long illness.
= MIR. Reeves was u native of Tenn
essee. born in 1924. and during his
early manhood lived for a number
of years in Missouri. He served
during the Civil War in the Con-
federate army. He came to Ore
gon 40 years ago and located in the
south end of this county, near Uki-
ah. Later he moved to Weston
with his family.
He was twice married. his first
wife having preceded him 10 the
grave in early years. His second
wife survives him. Two sons and
two daughters are also left in be-
reavement. They are James Reeves
and Ollie Reeves Of Camp Purdy,
Arizona; Mrs. Mary z. Miller Of
Salem, Oregon; Mrs. Xantippe Fem
nimore of Canyon, Washington.
He left twenty-one grand children
and ten great grand children.
Mr.. Reeves was man Of iateg-
rity and Of marked industry. AL
though bent with the weight Of
years, he seemed to find enjoyment
in constant occupation.
The funeral services were held

church, with sermon by the pastor

The Barley Crop Fizzles

Reports from the harvest fields
continue to confirm the early sea-
son predictions that the barley crop
would be "fiivver." Barley
fields are thin and scant and grown
up TO weeds, even on the best
conducted farms. While Of fair
quality, the cereal is invariably
yielding poorly - sometimes not
more than a few sacks to the acre.
In a section which has produced
ninety-bushel crops, this showing is
very unusual and may not occur
again. Of course, in a score Of
years. Some Observers blame the
green aphis, but the theory most
commonly advanced is that cold
nights early in the spring were re.
sponsible. The same discouraging
returns are reported from around
Dayton, ordinarily famous for its
barley. There is said to be no good
spring-sown barley in that neigh
borhood. Fair crops Of fall-sown
barley are had, however, in the
Tukannon district north Of Dayton.

Gcoi News for Bird Hunters

In the period beginning Sgptem-
Der at sunrise and ending Sept
ember Z at sunset Chinese pheas-
ants may be killed by securing per-
mits from the state warden. The
bag limit is five male birds in sew
en- days.
Permits will be issued wherever
licenses are sold and will be etfec.
tive during the first seven days of
September. They will be issued
only to persons holding hunting
licenses, except in the case of farm
ers who desire to shoot on their
own property. These will require
no license, but will require a per-
nit.
George Tonkin, district game
warden, who visited Athena and
Weston Wednesday for the pur-
pose of explaining the new open
season for Chinese pheasants, in
formed the Leader that the follow
ing sections of the state law would
be rigidly enforced:
1T shall be unlawful at any time
in the State of Oregon to shoot or
discharge any gun at any game bird
or game animal from or while upon
any railroad right of way, or any
public road or highway"
mo person shall hunt with dog
or gun upon the cultivated or en-
closed land of another without first
obtaining permission from the own
er, occupant or agent thereof. No
prosecution shall be commenced un-
der this section except upon com
plant of owner, occupant or agent
of such cultivated or enclosed
land"

Prior TO her return to Portland,

That Hcrmiston beats the state

exemplifed, boasts the Herald,
when George Struhm. king of the
local producers of prime porkerS,
secured the highest price ever paid
on the Portland market for n ship
ment of lS7 extra quality black
hogs. He thereby carried back with
him this much priced honor and
likewise check for S7S95.46. The
high record price of Sl9,l5 per
hundred live weight for pork has
scared beyond the dreams Of the
most sanguine local producers, says
the Herald with fond hopes, evil
