Wages and Babies

When wage-earning fathers earn
under $3.50 year they may expect
to see their babies die in large num-
bers; if they earn $3.50 and over
they may expect to see them live.
The fathers Of SS per cent of the
babies studied by the U, S. Chill
dren's Bureau earned less than ST.
250 a year; 27 per cent earned less
than $3.50; few earned under $3.50
In this last group the infant mortal
ity rate is almost 10, an appalling
figure, and the rate ranges from this
down to approximately Us in the
group earning less than $3.50 but
not under $3.50. The infant mortal
ity rate in the $3.50 and over"
group is approximately SO. As the
income doubled the mortality rate
was more than cut in two
Under present conditions the
public protection Of mothers and ba-
bies is needed, for the loss of mother
and infant life is nationwide and
needs nationwide attention. The
maternity bill
would help the states bear the neces-
sary expenses for providing adequate
medical and nursing care and proper
instruction to mothers, and would
leave the states free to carry on this
work according to their various
needs.

Wear Denim Move
ment Said To Have
Started in Alabama

The 'nyear denim" movement to
bring down the high cost Of woolen
clothing is said to have originated
with bunch OF cotton growers down
in Alabama. The public fell for the
Movement" at once, believing that
it would result in suits taking a big
fall, Ii has already resulted in a
strong demand for khaki, denim and
overallS. which is just what the cot
ton grOwers wanted. Thos. B. Kay.
woolen cloth manufacturer of Salem
and former state treasurer, told wool
men in Portland this week that he
had paid as high as IS cents per
pound for cotton long staple in bales.
There is certain cloth manufactured
in the Kay mills in which cotton is
used, With the average price of wool
at 60 cents per pound, who will say
that cotton is cheaper than wool
Maybe after all its the cotton going
into the cloth and not the wool. that
is making clothing expensive.

The Potato Situation

There IS potato strike on The
housewives and restaurants in the
large cities and to some degree in
the smaller places, are protesting
that the piebean spud is becoming
too aristocratic. and that he must
come down from his high state.
The cheapest food of the past is
the highest priced food Of the pre-
sent Whoever supposed that the
Irish Lemon would occupy the
place Of the piece de resistance on
the tables Of the land?
The amusing part Of the contro-
yersy lies in the prevailing notion
that the potato IS an essential article
Of food In fact there is very little
nutriment in il, and what there is is
starch We are 50 much creatures
Of habit, however, that we think that
it is hardship 10 get through a meal
without the vegetable.
Bread, rice and numerous men,
bers Of the vegetable kingdom will
do quite as well, and most Of them
better, in the economy Of living.
The people Of this country do not yet
know the value Of rice, hominy and
the various varieties Of maccaroni.
Is it not time that the lesson began
to be learned?
Probably there is a measure Of
profteering in the spud market, but
it is still the fact that there is a
marked shortage in the supply. The
speculator, the commission man, and
the storage people are probably
making money while the making is
good, but who is not in this orgy Of
spending?
Some day there will be wisdom
enough in the nation 10 establish
simple transportation systems, and
an intimate relation between the
producer and the consumer. Then
there will never be an oyersupply
and ordinarily there will not be an
under Supply.--Pendleton Tribune.

Show Them We re Awake

There is vey practical side on
establishing advertising as a part
Of the operation of government. Ad-
yertising means an appropriation,
ana an appropriation means that our
Senators and congressman must be
convinced that the people want the
government to talk 10 them. II
these officials are allowed TO believe
the people are apathetic they will
ignore the subject, but if they are
made to feel the people are in earn
est they will soon begin to take &C
ton.
From the Federal Department of
Labor and the Health Departments
of the various cities comes statistics
Of the very great loss of life in child
birth. More women Of child-bearing
age die in the United States from
causes incident to child-bearing than
from any other cause except tuber-
culoSis, and almost half the number
Of infant deaths are preventable.
Quite apart from its human aspect
this involves a serious economic loss
to the nation, and it is every man 5
duV and every womans dutuy to
help put an end to such a condition
of affairs.
We are spending thousands of
dollars every year for our Health
Department, which holds in its ar
chiyes in Washington the results Of
research that mean life or death to
thousands Of mothers and children.
What a blesSinng it would be, partic-
ularly in the country where We lack
the great hospital facilities of the
great cities and the presence of the
worlds great specialists, if the gov
ernment would talk 10 and advise
the mothers and the prospective mo-
thers of the nation The govern
ment has special information Of vital
moment, Why not advertise and let
the prospective mothers know where
this information may be obtained?
Ninety-nine women out of hundred |
do not even know such information
is at their disposal. There is only
one answer TO this-government ad- |
yertising. Let the citizens of this
community spare a little time to stir
up our Senators and Congressman
along this line. Write to them. |
There are a thousand reasons why |
the government should give its in |
formation to the people.
The publisher Of this newspaper
has written many such letters, but, !
Of course, letters from a publisher
may be improperly thought to be
written with a selfish motive, III
the people are to have the benefit of
government information the people
must help bring it about.

Farmers and the Nation S
Councils

Dr. Buuer6eld. the clever and pep
full president Of Massachusetts Agri-
cultural College, has Just published
a book on rural community problems
IN the United states which is attract
ING attention on both sides of the
water
One great difficulty in this coun-
TN, saws DR.. Butterheld, is that the
farmers are not, and rarely have
been, prominent in the councils Of
the nation; consequently others have
devised policies for them,
Exactly 1t is a worldwide diff
Guilty but particularly in America be-
cause of the very superior education
and intelligence of our farming ele-
ment. The American farmers are the
backbone of the nation yet their re-
preSentativeS in Congress and in
many Legislatures are lawyers, who
a very small item in the
population and who act, when seat
ed, from the convictions of lawyers,
not from the convictions of farmers,
or of patriots.
We don't think it is going to last
long. Already there is evidence of a
strong get-together spirit among ag-
as evidenced BY the farm
bureaus, the grange and other or
ganizationS.
Tens of thousands of the young
men and young women of the farm
are entering the nations agricultural
