SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.

Human nature is pretty much alike

are paying at the time We get it-but
in the long run we find we have to

BOYS PROVE TO FATHERS
THAT PORK RAISING PAYS

Farmers in Contra Costa County.
Calf, in the past have not raised
pigs. When the Government asked
last year for increased pork produc-
ton in every section. difficulty was
found in getting farmers interested.
for they maintained that pig raising
in their part Of the country could be
conducted only at a loss. The county
farm bureau directors then decided
to appeal to the boys and girls who
belonged to the clubs organized by
the Department OF Agriculture and
the State college. The invitation
was accepted enthusiastically. and
with the assistance of the leader,
seven pig clubs with total men,

county. Each member pledged him.

with complete records to back up
their success, were conducted on AZ
farms in the county. and fathers
have been shown that pig raising
can be made to pay.

HOW TO CRUSH BOLsHEvIsN

In Russia the peasants decline TO
accept money for their products.
They want plows, harrows, boots,
cloth and a thousand other actual
things for the product Of their toll.
They have no use for bales OF cheap
ly printed papen Some Of the in
dustrial population OF the cities is
not producing plows, harrows, cloth
and boots. the peasants are forced
to do their own work with primitive
wooden tools, to scour, card and
spin their own cloth, to make their
own leather and shoes, all OF which
reduces the surplus that can be ship
ped from the farm to the city. Add
TO this condition the breakdown in
transportation. prolong II for ten
or fifteen years and what is the re-
suit The population must go back
to the level OF two hundred years
ago. to the primitive period before
large-scale industry and steam trans
portation made possible the modern
subdivision of labor with its trench
dously increased output.
4 similar process is now going on
in Germany. II will sweep all over
the world wherever Bolshevik theory
is put into practice. Everywhere pro-
duction will decrease at least forty
per cent under Bolshevism. Since the
world must have 1o0-percent pro-
duction. 1t follows that under Boil
shevism half the population OF the
industrial countries must be wiped
out. Everybody will try to resist this
wiping-out process. The weakest
will go first; the strongest win fight
tooth and nail against extinction. AS
in Russia. a savage war for mere ex-
istence will commence, civilization
will revert back to feudal times
when the weaker ones become volun-
tary slaves of the stronger men in
order to preserve their miserable
lives.

hesitate one second to use machine

EXEMPTION MADE FROM
ACCIDENT COMMISSION

The announcement by the indus
trial accident commission that en-
ployers and employees operating un-
der the workmen's compensation law
will be exempt from payment into
the fund for the months Of April,
May and June comes at a most op-
perfume time. Il relieves Oregon in
dusury from a burden during the re-
adjustment period. The exemp-
ton is possible because Of surplus
that accumulated in the fund during
the past year The exempting OF
this three-months' period will mean
that no payments will have been
made into the fund by employers and
employees for seven of twelve months
of the fiscal year ending June 80.
The effect OF these exempted months
is TO reduce the rate OF payment
made by employers upon their pay
rolls to five-twelfths of the base
rate. The exemption just declared
by the commission viii relieve en-
ployers from the payment of approx
imately s6OO.O0O.O0 into the fund
for the months of April. May and
June. the commission having suffi-
cient funds on hand to pay all claims
during that period.
