PALMER


(Written expressly for the L n. Servtee9
WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.-To the
Women OF America: Nearly every time
big campaign such as the one inaug-
erated by the department OF Justice TO
reduce the cost Of living is started. We
turn to the American woman ana put
a big share OF the burden ON her
shoulders. During the war woman
proved herself capable of extreme sac
glace. loyalty and patriotism and now
man feels more than ever that he can
depend on her.
So quite naturally in this national
emergency, the women Of the land
must come to her rescue.
PRODUCTION COSTS HIGHER
why has the cost OF living. jumped
QUE OF all reason? Production costs
are being boosted every cay by the in
sstent demands for higher wages and
shorter hours. Higher wages add
materially to the cost Of production
and fewer hours OF work lessen the
mount Of production without in any
way decreasing demands. An increas-
"a demand and decreased production
mean higher prices sure as night fol
.aws day.
WOMEN DO THE BUYING
Statistics show that nine-tenths o.
the buying of necessities in this coun-
t-y IS done by women so that the mat

n their hands: it is especially import

A WHEATLEY MERCHANT
WRITES A LETTER.

We are all aware of the fact
that the present prices are very
high, not only in the Hardware,
Furniture and Machinery lines,
but everything has gone sky
high including Groceries, Wear
ing Apparel, Coal, Wood and
everything we. need in a mater
iaI way. On the other hand the
farmer is getting more at pres
ent for his Cotton, Rice, POta-
toes, Corn, Wheat and every
thing that grows in the ground,
and the man working for a sal
airy is being better paid for his
services at this time than ever
before. But why should we wor-
ry 3bout High Prices? The
point we should watch is that
we do not pay a higher price
for what we buy than does our
neighbor. Therefore we wish to
convey to you the fact that we
mark our goods in plain figures,
figures that every customer can
himself read. We do not use a

mistake. The new Bankhead
Road which makes the Simpson
Farm Home only about 10 or 20
minutes from the Brinkley post
office will be finished now in few

declare that madness is usually directly
traceable to nervous shock, generally

|NNE dollar out of every 800
raised in Umatilla county to-
wards the five liberty loans was
subscribed by a red skinned man or
woman. The county contributed
slightly in excess of $4,000. 900 to the
national war chest and figures in the
office of the Indian agent show that
the Umatela reservation Indians
purchased sss.150 of this amount.
They actually reached this goal in
four loans, for no drive was carried
on to sell bonds of the first loan am
ong the Indians and few, If any.
bought the bonds.
The record of the Indian subscrip-
tions to the various loans looks differ
ent than the general record through
out the county, state or nation. The
heaviest subscriptions were made to
the second loan, the first in which
any concerted effort was made to in
terest the natives. Their record of
s3O,50O in this loan was never again
reached. nor approximated, in sue
ceeding loans.
The Indians were not slow to un-
derstand the meaning of liberty
bonds and their value, as we'll. for
the Indian is a shrewd business man.

parting for the training camps also
