We have a good bunch of fellows

to Norfolk on the boat today, but we
are having a snowstorm which is very
unusual here. Ordinarily we are
outside in our shirt sleeves, but it is
too cold for that today. Yesterday
| got a letter from Mrs. Colgrove,
who lives in Washington, d. c., in
yiting me to come up there for a Wis

Thayer and used to live in Brookings.
Would like to go up there, but | don't
think l can get away as they are not
issuing any passes now.
We have not been paid yet and
think | better have Philip send me a
bank draft for SO in a registered

paid till some time in February.

GREAT IDEA FAILED TO WORK
Miuht Have Been All Right But for
Unfortunate Happening inventor
Could Not Foresee.

The poets and others. mainly others.
have sung Of the virtues and blessings
Of sleep. No class Of men guards
sleep as carefully as the doctors.
Some one. with all the wise theories
Of advertising. decided to mail his lit
tie call for business to the medical
men Of indianapolis. He-spent large
sum getting up some real snappy stun.
He figured out all the psychology and
personal appeal, with all Of the big
"I' stuff he could. and then some. He
laid plans to reap harvest. He did
not.
His good money went to the print
er. More went to Uncle Sam for
stamps. This wise ad writer put a
special delivery stamp on each Of his
letters.
Result: The doctors Of Indlanapo'
lIs were awakened about l a. m. to
sign for a bunch Of printed matter.
Every doctor seen says he tore up
the booklet and with curses deposited
the unread pieces In the waste paper
basket or elsewhere.

medical men went back 70 bed II

more lightly. but those who have
heretofore escaped their due obliga-
tion will be taxed more heavily.
The s per cent surtax on certain
OF earned incomes will remain. and
the rate on other incomes will be
leveled up with It. In the case Of
unearned incomes a still higher rate
may be imposed. Corporations that
have escaped paying excess profit
taxes through the device Of over-cap-
italization and nominally low rate
OF income will be taxed according to
their earnings on actual investment.
"Profiteering" in general will be
handled without gloves; congress
may tax war profits nearly as high
as England. which collects 80 per
cent. As much as so or 80 per cent
of our largest personal incomes may
be taken.
Congress has an unusual oppor-
tunity to do big. statesmaniike Job.
It's progress win be watched with In
terest by a nation which is willing
to pay any number of billions to win
the war. provided the taxes are ap-
portioned wisely and equitably.

lOGANBERRY P|CKERS
ARE MUCH NEEDED

The Country Club orchards near
Merlin. have 20 acres OF Loganper-
ries from which good crop win be-
gin TO ripen during the early part OF
July and at least 100 pickers will b,
needed. Women and young folk
find loganberry picking profitable
and pleasant work. The wages paid
for this season are tho highest ever
offered for this kind OF work.
Tho berry vines are trellised on
wires. so there Is no need OF much
STOPPING as In picking Strawberries.
The berry field Is keep as clean as
garden and everything Is to be
done to contribute to the comfort
and pleasure OF those who aid In the
picking. Many OF the pickers are
arranging to camp along the creek
which skirts one side OF the berry
held. Others will live In the several
houses which the company has
thrown open and provided with
eook-stoves. tables. wood, water and
other convenlences.
Several parties are arranging to
club together and 10 out and re
turn In an automobile to be furnish
ed by one OF the party. but tho ex-
pense to be borne by all. A truck
has been engaged TO carry those who
must return to their homes In the
city each evening. A very small
charge Is to be asked for this truck
transportation. to be deducted from
the earnings OF the several pickers.
This Is said to be the largest To-
cranberry field In southern Oregon.
and the women and young folks are
much needed to insure the saving OF
the berry crop. Those who can ar
range to spend two or three weeks
In the berry field should pnone or
write to J. F. Ferry at once address
Ing him at Merlin. or phoning him
over 600-F-2.
Those who volunteer for this work
will not only be assured a fair pay
ment for their services, but will en-.
Joy a pleasant outing. and can feel
that they are playing a very useful
and patriotic part in saving the
berry crop. which is so much needed

fields were drying out and Others

but very poor on dry farms.

ally all cut In Morrow and Umatilla
counties. cutting has begun In Nal.

ably be general during the coming
week. with poor to fair yields ex'

are beginning to show the effects OF

well.
The strawberry season Is nearl,
over In the lower Hood River valley
early cherries are ripening in many
localities and picking is under way
in wasco county. with some or
chards showing fair crops. The out
look is favorable for an excellent
crop OF loganberries, and picker'
are urgently needed to assist In har'
vesting this crop.
Under the favorable temperature
conditions corn made rapid advance

are still promising but still need
moisture to insure satisfactory re,
suits. Many gardens are infested

worked great injury to peas ant

WEEKLY SUMMARY Of

Portland. June 20.-Neea OF rain
still is the keynote OF the crop sit
uation, according to the weekly sum
mary Of weather and crop conditions
issued by the weather bureau here
Beneficial showers fell In few scat
tered localities, mostly east OF the
Cascade mountains, but drought con-
tinued generally throughout the
state and a majority Of the staple
crops, where not irrigated, we're suf-
fering from lack Of rain. says the
report. With unusually hign day
and night temperatures crops under
irrigation made rapid growth and at
the close Of the week we're In a sat
isfactory condition. Aphis were
still numerous In the Willamette val
ley and had made their appearance
In Wasco county, while complaints
were received Of damage by grass
hoppers in Umatilla and klamath
counties.
Some injury to winter wheat in
Umatilla county resulted from the
hot winds Of the early part Of the
week and this crop was also begin
ming to fire in other districts On ac-
count Of the drought. Rye was poor
to good, in some places having been
cut for hay, while in others 1t re-
ceived some benefit from local
showers and was in better condition.

MEN WHO LAUGH

Stories from the front in these big
days testify that our soldiers are
fighting like demons" and laugh
ing demons at that. Their zeal for
combat is matched by their high
spirits. They go into battle eagerly.
with song and Jest. They WELD bay
onst and grenade with laugh. They
return shouting II they are unhurt
and smiling II they are wounded.
THE 'front.'" writes a correspon-
dent. "is probably the most cheerful
place on earth. Where shells fly
and life isn't worth a nickle, moth
ing matters to anybody"
other nations, generally speaking,
fight grimly. Even Tommy. the most
exuberant Of our allies, is somewhat
sobered now. But the American,
who has always what Kipling calls
"the cynic devil in his blood" and
what most of us call simply Keen
sense Of humor, grows merry where
others grow gloomy.
Il have heard more funny stories
and more laughter among our men
In the line in one night" says a
veteran correspondent, that I have
heard in all the rest Of the time 1
have been in Europe"
1t is not flippancy. as our Sam
mics heroic record attests. It is the
flight touch" of strong, confident
men, who know exactly what they
are doing and how they are going
to do II. Their apparent frivolous
ness is the foam that covers strong
deep current. II is by-product Of
tremendous energies in action.
Beware OF fighters who laugh. Our
boys laughter Is the death knell of
Prussianism.

BIGGER AND BETTER TAXES

BIGGER AND BETTER TAXES
Now congress has settled down to
serious consideration Of the taxation
problem, there is reason to hope that
We shall have tax legislation worthy
Of the time and occasion. The pres
ent intention is to rewrite the pres
emit revenue act, doing away with its
confusions and inequalities. There
will be a single comprehensive and,
let us hope, ineligible law, instead
Of one crude law superimposed on
another to the perplexity and des-
pair Of taxpayer and tax collector
alike.
This simplification in itself will
be I great gain II the work is well
done. Still more important is the
elimination Of oversights and injus-
tices inherent in the present system.
Nobody apparently is to be taxed
