economy.

The local chautauqua committee
has received number of inquiries
as TO how there could be a deficit this
year when there were 400 season
tickets subscribed for last year at the
close of the chautauqua. This came
about simply because some people
who subscribed for season tickets did
not take them and pay for them. The
local committee signed the contract
on the strength of the subscriptions
for the season tickets. They expect
ed to do the work attendant upon
taking care of the local arrange
ments, and this is no small job. But
they did not expect to pay for tickets
which people did not take. The COM
mlttee is no more to blame for the
unreasonable date this year than are
those who signed the cards. The de-
felt this year is S26090, of which
the bureau assumed half, leaving
Sl30.45 for the local committee. The
collection taken at the last night Of
the chautauqua amounted TO a lit
tie over $4,000, leaving about Sl00I
yet to be made up. Seveal public
spirited citizens have indicated that
they will help the committee on this
deficit, for which the committee is
very grateful. The committee appre-
ciates the fine collection taken at the
tent. Some of those who did not
take the tickets they had signed up
for say they did not understand the
situation, but that they will now pay
for them rather than have the COM
mittee pay for them. This shows a
good spirit. We do not expect any
deficit next year.

Common Sense Will Prevail

The u. S. National Bank of Port
land has this common sense view in
its business digest just issued:
We are now paying prosperity S
debts. 1t was human nature to run
up bills during good times, and we
did It, Now We are paying our bills
under pressure. We borrowed So
cent dollars, SO to Speak,-now we
are repaying them with S5-cent dol
lars, and as prices continue to come
down, ii will be necessary to repay
additional dollars obtained in boom
times, with dollars which will be
twice as hard to earn. OF course il
is hard, and the worst is over.
Though prices have fallen greatly,
there is still further dehation to be
accomplished. We are paying the
penalty for violating economic laws,
and all are guilty from the Federal
Government down. Extravaganza,
perhaps justifable under the neces-
sity of winning the war was the or
der of the day. For several wears,
fguratively speaking We were bor-
rowing ourselves rich. Now we
suffer because We must pay back.
But our people are looking fac,s
in the face. The country is not
broke-it is merely bent. Common
sense and hard work-honest work
thrift and economy will pull us out
Of the hole. 1t is time to take off
our coats, 60 to work, take our med
icine no matter how bitter, suffer
our losses and benefit from our ex-
periences. There have been times
when financial conditions seemed
almost hopeless, but always common
sense has prevailed, and thus it will
be again"

Better grading, packing and as

The recognition of our national

and the first two weeks of July. It
was found that many farmers refused
to follow the scale set and were pay
ing wages ranging from 81 TO S.

This has caused a slight raise in
wages but every effort is being made
to keep the wages within reason Up

WHICH VARIETY is BEST?

1t is important that we raise the
variety Of wheat that will give us the
greatest yield. A difference Of two
bushels in yield is big factor 1t
isn't too early now to plan on the
fall seeding. There are many farm
ers who are still raising low yielding
varieties simply because they have
always raised that variety and think
that they can't do better Find out
which is the best yielding variety
for your section and plan on making
a start this fall with a small patch

There is proyerb. in a land
where it is always summer, that
says: 1t is easier to sit down than

than to sit.
The prevalence of that philosophy
means that the people of that land
are imperfectly civilized They are
in a state of arrested development
They are scratching flea-bites on
sleeping in the shade or imbibing
strong waters when they ought to be
planting, digging wells, making
roads and building houses.
A Swiss who visited these people
said: What they need is a winter.
Thoreau observed: "A man sits as
many risks as he runs"

OCEAN AND RAIL RATES

Ocean freight rates on wheat and
cotton moving from North Atlantic
ports of the United States to the
United Kingdom were approximately
so per cent lower on July /. 1921.
than on November /, 1920, according
to a statement compiled from data
received by the United States De
partment of Agriculture from the
United States Shipping Board. This
decline corresponds substantially TO
the price declines of those commod-
titles during the same period, SO that
the ratio between the freight rates
and prices remains relatively the
same.
On November /, 1920, No. Red
wheat was quoted in New York at
s2.34A a bushel, and the ocean
freight rate was 40 cents per 100
pounds, or at the. rate of "a cents a
bushel, which represented 1912 per
cent of the value of the wheat On
July /, 1921, with No. Red wheat
selling at $1.471a cents bushel, the
freight rate was 81 cents per 100
pounds-126 cents per bushel-or
S.5 per cent of the value of a bushel
of wheat Both the price of wheat
and the freight rate may be said to
represent a fair average for June.
The decline in the rates and prices
of other commodities was less mark
ed In the case Of butter and cheese
the wholesale prices have declined
approximately "A per cent since last
November while the ocean freight
rates on these commodities have
fallen only from 20 to 25 per
cent
While the cost of ocean transpor-
tation is an essential factor in the
marketing of agricultural products
in foreign countries, it is by no
means as important factor as is
the cost of rail transportation to the
seaboard.
