WILL Be HOME X.
FOR CHRISTMAS
Many Henry County Boys In
Army Will Be Demo
bolized Very Soon

Parents, relatives and friends are
anxiously awaiting and expectantly
anticipating the early home coming
of the boys in that portion of the big
army that has not gone over seas.
Many will reach home for Christ
mas, and, the tension is relieved this
week by the announcement of Gen.
March, chief-of-staff, in his formal
advice that orders already issued will
send 100000 men back to civil life
within two weeks, and that when the
program was in full swing about 30,z
900 would quit the army daily ~
Fighting divisions of General Per-
shing's army in France will be de-
modified as fast as possible in their
home communities. The Chief-of-
staff would make no predictions as
to when the first divisions would
start home. 1t appears probable,
however, that the flow of returning
troops can be in full tide before Feb
ruary.

NEW SHIPS RAISE WHEAT PRICE

dispatch from Food Administrator Hoover yester-
day partially cleared up the puzzle to the price Of wheat
at Portland Under the proclamation of the president the
price was fixed at $205 bushe This caused some dis
satisfaction contended the price should be the
same as at Chicago While there is considerable differ
of opinion that point the Hoover telegram states
that the shipping board has undertaken to give the Pa
cific northwest rate Of $3.50 ton by water to New
York This the board expects to accomplish by using the
new tonnage for carrying the grain crop Of the northwest
through the canal and to New York if not to Europe
Seattle has already turned out thirteen ships which are
rapidly being made ready for service and the yards at
Portland are running vessel off the ways every week
In another month such matter launching some
where in the northwest will be almost daily occurrence
and the new ships should be able to carry all of Oregons
grain crops and much besides to the eastern markets If
Hoover carry out his program it will make the price
of wheat at Portland about $218 the price at New
York $28 and the $3.50 rate would amount to about 10
cents bushe Now if Mr.. Hoover can do something to-
ward equazing the price of that the northwest
will not be throted by the profiteersmen, his work will
be appreciated. He should remember that poultry own
es forbidden to sell their hens to feed them wheat
and yet the spectators allowed to hold prices
at prohibtive figure. Corn worth $125 at Chicago is
worth about double that in the northwest This would
allow freight rate Of about $45 ton from Chicago to
Pacific coast points, than ten times much
is to be charged for carrying the wheat crop east

in this battle9 In our shipyards it Is
Stacking in most shameful and dis
graceful manner.
Declaring that everything connected
with the Hog Island shipyard from
the time of the purchase of the land
on which it is located down to the
present time exemplified the hog ma
ture of man," McCumber continued:
'After the land had been purchased
and the foundation laidd upon graft, 1t
was but natural that the superstruc'
ture should be in harmony with the
foundation and every act, every con-
tract. every expenditure for material
or labor has been wildly eXtravagant.
"The hard earned dollars Of the in,
dustrious people Of America, eXacted
bv the heaviest burden of taxation
have been burned in a wild Saturnalla
of extravaganza.
Turning to labor, McCumber charg-
ed that labor in specific shipyards, par
ticularly riveters, were claeking. He
asserted that where it used to cost
the government $400 to get ten thous-
and rivets driven, it was now costing
$2175.
Samuel Gompers, he declared, was
unable to handle the men. They were
in the grasp of unscrupulous leaders,
he said.
"Every man who holds up the gov
ernment in this time of danger com
mits a crime and every government Of
ficial who stands by, armed with pow
er to prevent such acts and allows
them to continue, is a participant IN
that crime McCumber said
HJust how long the American peo-
pie will submit to being robbed, first
by the material man, then by the la
borer and then to having both robber-
les encouraged and aequiesced in the
government, the Lord only knows. "
He asserted that this plundering
element constituted about one tenth Of
the American people.
owe are facing the supreme test of
democracy, he said "Cannot self
governing people impose upon itself
that labor, that sacrifice, that sub
version to the necessities of war which
an autocratic government can enforce
by mere word of command? If it can
not, it is doomed. l have faith that ~
can.
