MARION HANSELL BUYS
THE NOSE TAYLOR FARM

One Of the largest deals ever
conSummated in Weston land has
lust been completed by Hey VIM
and Marion Hansell. we'll known
throughout the countryside as
among its most substantial and
successful farmers. Mr.. HanScll
buys from MIR. Winn the Moses
Taylor place. containing 600 acres
of choice land which he has been
handling under lease. He also
leases from Mr.. Winn for u term of
six years the Mcadowbrook farm
on Pine creek below town, contain
ing 6T3 acres. The consideration
covering both transactions is re.
ported to have been Sl5T, 900.
Mr.. Winn retains for his own use
a Rouse and garden ground on
Meadowbrook farm, and will tenn
porarily retire from the wheat.
growing activities he has followed
for S5 years.

Rejoicing at The Front.

The first soldier letter received
here since the German surrender
comes from Sergeant Sidney A.
Barnes, and is dated Somewhere in
France, November IL. He says;
II don't feel much like writing
today, but certainly cannot let this
day pass without line or two.
Last night was one Of the widest
nights recorded in my experience.
The French we're nearly crazy with
Joy and the Americans almost rs
bed. The program started withra
bunch of mad frogs parading on
the parade ground right after re-
treat. The band played The Mar
sellaise and the Star Spangled Ban
ner. After supper all the soldiers
went to town to complete the cele-
bration. The French joined hands
and danced around each other and
the Yanks, by the light Of bonfres.
Everybody had flag and cheered
for Wilson. Clemenceau, Poincaire,
Foch. Pershing. King George and
the bunch.
"And today the old grind con-
tinues. | certainly hope that Ger
many doesn't take the entire 80
days allotted. We've got no idea
what part we take in the last act,
but all are willing to do their bit
until the last bit is done happy in
the knowledge that the fighting is
suspended and the Allies are hold
ing the top hand. ! know you will
all be perfectly happy, but think
how much more so the French must
be after four long years Of war and
suffering"

Through increased production and

10 export seven times our prr-wRT
average exports Of pork products.
With the heavy demands added In car
ing for the millions who have bcca
freed from German oppression, tho
Department Of Agriculture and the
Food Administration nre Justified to-
day In our every action OF stimulation
OF hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage Will ba In

situation. The efficacy Of tho policy
of stimulated production has built up

tho fat deficiency OF the world. In
beef there must .be n shortage In Eu-
rope, duo largely 10 limited refrlgcrn'
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available. however. will be fillcd by
America. Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro.
ducers Of this country TO the war pro-
gram as applying particularly TO AMI
NAL food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the q. 3. Do
partment OF Agriculture indicate mn
Increase In cattle Of i0.23s,000 head
and i2,441 900 hogs. These figures
were complied 10 January last.
In this period there was decrease
In sheep OF $4,000 head. The indlcn.
tlons are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent Fe-
ports
Since January / unofficial informa-
tion indicates an increase 10 hogs OF
not less than per cent and not
more than 10 per cent as compared
with one year ago. with nn Increase In
the average weight
Following tho request Of the u. 8.
Food Administration for nn Increase
In hog production for marketing In the
full OF 1918 and tho spring OF 1910 the
increase may yield not less than 1,G00..
100000 pounds more Of pork products
than were available Inst year. With.
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an.
imnl food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 80,
1917, amounted to 0O3, ,t72, 900 pounds,
while for the corresponding months Of
1918 the dressed hog products totaied
1.277, $4,000, an Increase of over 374,.
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records Of inspected slaughter Of
dressed beef showed 1903, 100000
pounds as against 1,454, 600 600 pounds
for the three month period ending

RED CROSS ROLL CALL

Membership in Red Cross is dem
ocratie and universal.
Greatest emphasis is being laid
on 81 membership.
Wearing Red Cross 1919 button
is an evidence of loyalty and proof
of membership.
"Strong-arm" solicitation is abSo-
lutely barred.
Aim-To enroll every man, wo-
man and child in Umatilla county.
All the people of Oregon will be
asked to join the Red Gross or to
renew their membership during the
Christmas Roll Call, which will be
held the week before Christmas
December 1928.
Membership in the Red Cross
costs 81 year.
There will be no receipts given
this year. the proof of membership
being the signing of the Red Cross
Roll and the wearing of the 1919
button.
Red Cross leaders wish every
wearer of Red Gross 1919 button
to ask every non.wearer: Where's
your button?"
There are more than PAS. 900 Red
Gross members in Oregon. Every
one. it is expected, will renew men,
bership-while it is hoped to add
100000 new members.
Because of the campaign there
will be no public sale of Christmas
seals this year. Instead, every Red
Cross member will be given ten of
the seals, while 81. 500. 900 will be
devoted by the American Red Cross
for the 1919 tuberculosis work of
the National tuberculosis associa-
tion, this being about the total of
the sale of Christmas seals last year.

THE G. o. P. ANVIL CHORUS

Certain Republican leaders IN
Congress have been doing their
best to convince the country that
President Wilson knew what he was
about in asking for the election of
a Democratic majority in that
body.
They have criticised his admira-
bic message when they and the
country know full well they would
have praised it to the skies had it
come from Republican president,
They have condemned him for
going abroad to the peace confer
ence when they and the country
know full we'll that such course
was urged by our allies and was
practically unavoidable in view of
the world position the United
States has assumed.
They know and the country
knows that were Wilson a Repub-
lican they would lay not stone in
his path.
They have sneered at President
Wilson for frankly submitting the
railroad problem without definite
program, when they know and the
country knows that had he outlined
a policy they would have accused
him of trying to assume the role
of dictator in peace times and of
usurping the congressional prerog-
ative.
In brief, these purblind and Bit
ter partizans are seeking in every
way to hamstring and cripple the
Administration merely because it
happens to be a Democratic admin
istration. The country's good is to
them a matter of no concern.
Uncle Joe Cannon, whose vision
has broadened with age, differs
from his fatuous colleagues. He
says:
81 was pleased with the message.
1t followed the constitutional plan
of giving to the Congress informa-
ton of the state of the Union. and
left the information with orders for
it to consider in connection with
its legislative duties"
This is. just and rational view.
The Morning Oregonian also finds
in the message much to admire
which reminds US that this formerly
uncompromising Republican organ
has been commercially broad-mind-
ed throughout the war, in its edit
orial expressions.

the credit of the carriers Like
the railroads and the employees of
the railroads, the commission did
not relish the idea of government
ownership Before it was an appIi-
cation for is per cent increase to

modities not included in the June

gave the railroads some yeast. It
recommended that Congress remove
the antitrust laws against pooling,
allow the unification of the rail-
roads for the period of the war. and
possibly guarantee to them their
pre-war average of net earnings, so
that interest and dividends might
be maintained, whatever the for
tune of the particular road whose
traffic was disjointed 10 the COM
mon cause. Eight members of the
commission said these things, but
the ninth plainly told the railroads
that they were incompetent and
had not lived up to their oppor.
tunities. The blame of the one
had a greater reaction on Congress
than the side-stepping of the others

Railroad and the Coal Pile.

Whatever is to be the destiny of
the railroads of this country, it will
be bound up with the subject OF
coal. 1t was the rising coal bill of
the carriers that brought them be
fore the Intertate Commerce Com
mission with a plea for higher rates
1t was the fact that coal was not
being moved to the satisfaction of
the Fuel Administration in Wash
ineton that precipitated the agita-
ton for government authority over
the railroads and sent a chill over
the business and banking worlds
where government ownership spell.
ed losses of great size on invest
ments and brought up the picture
of the inefficiency of state-operated
roads in France and Italy.
The railroads had twice umbled
over the coal pile when the Inter.
state Commerce Commission did an
astonishing thing 1t leaned down
and tried to pick them up For
years it had been trying to see just
how little it could give, how far il
could take away. and still preserve
