CROP FAKING A LOST ART
THANKS TO DAVID LUBIN

When David Lubin died the other
day In Rome, where he was Americas
representative In the International
Institute OF Agriculture, the farmers
OF the whole world lost friend,
prophet and leader.
Years ago Lubin quit dollar hunt
Ing In California mercantile os-
tablishment. to give his life, his
brains and his effort that the produce
er of food might maize. an honest
profit. He was one of the first
Americans to see that the time
worn method OF food distribution and
transportation was wrong, and that
the unnecessary middleman must be
eliminated before the farmer could
get a fair price In the market.
Lubin declared war on the crop
report fakir, who spread false stories
of reproduction abroad to bring
down prices when the American
farmers were selling, and who de-
luged the markets with untruths
concerning reported crop failures
later on to give excuse for high
prices to consumers. To correct this
evil Lubin suggested the formation
OF an international crop reporting
agency, and our Warrington politi-
clans promptly rejected the idea.
Then Lubin laid his plan before the
king OF Italy, and secured govern
mental assistance In establishing tho
International Institute OF Agricul-
ture In Rome. Immediately Lubin
turned the spotlight of publicity aud
knowledge upon the food crops OF
the world. even into the remotest
corners. the smallest countries.
For the first time In history
thanks to David Lubin--the world
knew how much food II produced
and where that food was. Naturally
food spectators disliked Lubin and
his spotlight, And as naturally
they tried to discredit him and the
institution. But now the world
knows the benefit Of accurate and
early knowledge as to crop condi-
tions and statistics In Siam. Russia

And while keeping HIS eyes upon
the farm fields OF both hemispheres,

First National Bank OF Prlneville,
Ore, and past grand master of the
Masonic Grand Lodge of Oregon,
was found dead In his room at the
Hotel Imperial yesterday noon by his
daughter, Mrs. Il. S. Dixon. Examin-
ing physicians state that death oc-
cured at least eight or nine hours
earlier, and that II was undoubtedly
due to heart trouble.
For the past week Mr.. Baldwin
had been In Portland as a delegate to
the Oregon Irrigation Congress. For
several days he had complained OF
heart attacks.
MIR. Baldwin was one OF the most
widely known of Eastern OREGON
business men and financiers, and for
40 years had been a resident OF
prineville. where he was Identified
with many community enterprises.
The widow, Mrs T. M. Baldwin, IL
expected to arrive from Prlnevllle
this morning.
He was SO years of age, and was
born at Cedar Bluffs, la.
He leaveS his widow, one son,
Harold Baldwin, cashier of the First
National Bank OF Prineville, and two
daughters, Miss Bertha Baldwin and
Mrs. Il. S. Dixon. both of Prlneviile.
Mrs. Dixon has been in Portland
during the past fortnight, visiting
her husband, who has been stationed
at Camp Lewis.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Baldwin was for
many years prominently and actively
identified with Masonic affairs IN
Oregon. the funeral services will be
conducted under charge OF the
grand lodge of the order, probably In
Portland. at a time to be announced
today. The body is now at the Fin

JUST AS THE TwIG Is BENT"

Asked TO define the years OF
education we should probably. With
out giving much thought to the ques-
tion, place the earlier limit at six
years, the age when the child gem
orally enters public school.
Further thought will not bear ont
this assertion. The first six years Of
a child's life are all-important to his
education. During these his habits
OF thought and conduct are establish
ed. and his happiness and success In
life are either assured or made diff
ficult OF attainment.
The child trained to selfcontrol
and obedience has advanced long
way on his preparation for life. He
accus:oms himself readily to the
routine of the schoolroom, and lears
easily TO concentrate his mind on
study. In other words. he IL prepared
to gain the greatest advantage from
his school work
The child used to over-indulgehce
the spoiled child, Is handicapped
from the start. II will require time
to overcome the lack OF training-If
indeed It can be overcome-and. to
TT him to the conditions of life.
Our little citIzens-in-the-ma making
deserve the best possible introduc-
ton OF life and 10 education. And
THIS can only come TO them by In
stllllng !ato them IN their early years
submission to the laws of well-rc-
gulated home.
