.CRANBERR|ES MAY Be
CANNED AND USED BY
UNITED STATES NAVY
This Action Provides New Out
let for This Already Fa-
nous Oregon Product.

ASTORIA. Or, Oct. 25.-Through
the efforts of Senator r. N. Stanfielo'
the navy has made a ruling to the Ell
1ect tnat canned cranberrles may De
placed on the ration list of the Navy.
Previous to this time, cranberries hao
been listed only in fresh form, anu III
consequence no canned crannerrles
could be offered for sale for use Oh
the Navy. The action of senator
Stanfield provides a new outlet Tor thls
already famous oregon product. IhiS
announcement comes as a welcome OF
der to the personnel of the Paclflc
Fleet. for at holiday time many Ot the
officers and men may be away in dis
tant stations or in Asiatic waters far
from that patriotic combination turkey
and cranberry sauce.
Late Pacific Coast cranberries are
now appearing on the markets. The
local berries are readily distingushable
from their Atlantic cousin, the eastern
cranberry, by the lighter color OF the
local fruit. This lighter color is now
recognized as a distinct asset, as IL
gives the cooked product much
brighter red hue, and also creates
sitter jelly. No cranberry could pro-
| duce sauce or jelly of finer quality
| than those grown in our own state.
The entire crop is now harvested,
and the growers are now devoting
their attention to the quality of their
pack. Fine weather during September
and the first part of october has per-
mitted the fruit to be picked dry, and
the growers are well pleased with the
fact that they had such favorable
weather during their harvest, as the
keeping quality of their product decid-
edly improved thereby. The crop Is
fully up to earlier expectations, and
with an acute shortage of the eastern
cranberry, the oregon cranberry is al
ready in great demand.
In the great cranberry district at the
mouth of the Columbia River Is the
bulk of Pacific Coast cranberries
grown. Oregon and Washington have
Joined forces in o marketing cam

LONDON, Oct. 25.-'T cried and

ing the last flower that she gave me,
breathing a little of the perfume which
remained to me.
These were the last words of Paul
Torlot, a year-old Belgian
hoy, who hanged himself in a pictur-
esque Kentish wood on account of his
hopeless infatuation for an actress
much older than himself,
They were written to his parents,
an art site Belgian couple. resident in
Brussels. Paul, q boy of sensitive and
somewhat morbid disposition, old for
his years, was studying in England
for commercial career.
He became acquainted with the girl,
who was acting in a touring company.
Completely obsessed with her, al
thonoh she id everything to discour-
age him, he became imbued with the
.uea OF becoming an actor IN order to
be near her. In this he was unsuccess-
full, the following letter, written just
before his tragic end, eXemplifles his
state Of mind:
| MY dear Mamma and my dear Papa:
fThts time is the last | write you,
and when YOU read the lines that fol-
low your poor Paul will be dead.
But before I die I wish to have
good time for the last week. Anyone

furnished myself with ninety-six shil-
lngs. My watch and chain, pawned,

some old clothes, shirts and shoes. [

to spend.
Then l went up TO SEQ, think
ing to marry her, and although that
was mot to he, I fell more madly in
love with her than ever and think
she liked me, too because she never
asked me for money.

she began to chide me for being silly.

PLENTY Of BEETS AND
PLENTY OF WINE, TOO

SHARPSBURG, Md, Oct. 25.-This
may be a small town, but the resi-
dents are full Of big ideas.
Sharpsburg is famous for its heets.
This year the beet crop was so great
that the residents were completely
overstocked with the vegetable They
were in quandary as to how they
could usefully dispose of the large sur
plus.
While this momentous question was
being pondered over by Sharpsburgers,
one of the residents came to the front
with the announcement that he was
going to make wine out of his surplus
stock Of beets.
But another obstacle presented itself
in the carrying out of this plan in US
ing the beets. His surplus stock of
beets was so enormous that there was
nothing available to hold the huge
amount Of wine the beets would pro-
duce.
Then another bright idea struck
him.
He is now digging a cistern in which
the wine will be stored.

NOT ISOLATION.

Some Of the critics Of President
Harding pretend to see inconsistency
between his performances and preach
ments in relation to our course in for
eign affairs, declaring that his action
in responding to the request OF the
allies to send representative to the
meetings of the reparatiOns commits
sion is a departure from the policy OF
isolation that the president had prom
Used. But Mr.. Harding never promised
isolation. There is vast difference
between entangling alliance and rea'
sOnable participation in foreign affairs
that interest us. The United States
even under Washington, though firmly
opposed to all entangling alliances
never for a moment practiced OF
preached isolation. One of the very
first acts Of the colonial congress was
to send representatives to foreign
countries and that policy has been ad.
hered to ever since. Why, the United
States government took the initiative
in inducing Japan to abandon her pol
icy Of isolation and to open up com
mercial and diplomatic relations will
the balance of the world.
Not only in his inaugural address
but in his later address to congress
President Harding made it clear that
we stand ready now, as we have al
ways stood ready in the past, to ne
gOtiate with other nations, to cooperate
with them, and to aid in every way
in our power to promote international
welfare; but he also made it equally
clear that the United States must be
absolutely free to act in each particu
lar instance upon its own judgment as
to its duty and the wise course for il
to pursue in promoting its own inter.
ests and Of the rest of the world.
The vital principle for which Presi
dent Harding conte1lded was independ
ence Of action. and that independence
is fully maintained in his acceptance
of the invitation to send representa-
tives to the allied conferences.

EXAGGERATING HARD TINES.

Farm Life: Mortgages have. been
foreclosed before; tenants have given
up their leases; farmers have been
busted. There have been forced sales
and bankruptcy ever year. But there
are more of these failure now than in
normal years. Men tried to 80 into
high priced farming on short capital.
They were not prepared for disastrous
price break. They could not finance the
deferred payments on their contracts
for the expensive lands they had
bought.
Conditions have been much worse in
different sections and ut different pc
RODS in the past within the memory of
men now living. But we have forgotten
the old troubles, and we are In the
mood now to notice and agoniZe over
matters that we would not pay much
attention to in normal times.

bushel of wheat, but real money in
Russia will buy wheat at reasonable
prices.
The per capita circulation of money
in the United States April l, 1920, ac-
cording to statement just issued by
the Iowa chamber of commerce, was
5000. That is high per capital cir
culation and gentlemen who adhere
tenaciously to the cumulative theory OF
money said at the time that this large
per capita circulation was responsible
for the extraordinary high prices then
prevailing. But on April l, 1921, our
per capita circulation was $57.73, ac-
cording to the chamber of commerce.
Hence, although our per capita cir
culation was SLAB greater in April
this year than in April last year, prices
were approximately, according to a
recent statement issued by the labor
bureau at Washington, 2s per cent
lower than a year ago. The deflation
of credit, which stopped the reckless
and extravagant buying mania which
had taken possession of the people, is
largely responsible for the slump in
prices.

There appears to be no question but
that nine-tenths of the people OF the
United States are in favor of a dis
armament agreement with Great Brit
ain and Japan, but we believe large
majority are opposed to naval con
struction holiday INDUCED in alone by
this country. Can we afford to lay off
in the face of the activity of Japan in
this respect? 1t costs a mint of money
as all realize and admit, to keep up
the pace we are now going, but
wouldn't it be very likely to cost us
more in the long run if we permitted
our means of defense to deteriOrate and
become obsolete? Nobody is expecting
war. Nobody is wanting war, but we
can never tell what is going to happen
Eight years ago if anybody had pre-
dicted that we would be in war with
Germany inside of ten years he would
have been put down as a peSsimiSt

aginatiOn. No matter what the cost
this country cannot afford to fall be

ments, even if it were a foolish race tC

"THE TAX BUGABOO."

Lars Bladine, now officiating as col
lectOr of internal revenue with head
quarters at Dubuque, is Of the OpiOn-
ion that many taxpayers have wrong
impressions of. the real motives that
govern the transaction Of business in
the revenue collecting department of
the government. That NJ. Bladine
senses the situation is made plain in
a recent editorial from his pen in the
Cedar Falls Record, under the caption
at the head of this article. There is
no question but the feeling as he pOr-
trays it exists or has existed. SO far
as the personal relations Of the writer
with the revenue department are con-
ceriied there is no occasion for conf
plant of discOurteSy or OF an exhibi-
ton of over-officiousness on the part
Of the officers engaged in the not
very pleasant, task of collecting the
tax. However, the Freeman-J Journal
has heard so many complaints from
other taxpayers of the treatment to
which they have been subjected by
some Of the deputies or clerks who
have been in Webster City that it is
convinced that all taxpayers have not
been given diplomatic consideration
at all times.
No doubt many things that harass
and annoy the collector arise during
the course of his experience and being
only human, unquestiOnably some of
| them are at times vexed to the point
of evaporation. Probably many tax
payers exhibit what appears to the
collector amazing stupidity in making
out tax returns. but they must remem-
Der that the average man is not an ac-
cOuntant and things that appear plain
| to those who have studied the law,
have had considerable experience in
clerical work and have had the adj
vantages of instruction by competent
instructors, do not appear so to him.
AS rule, the taxpayer wants to pay
his taxes according to law, and very
few of them undertake to cover up
anything. AS Mr.. Bladine intimates,
many of these are aprehensive lest
they make mistakes and in their des-
perAtiOn see visions of prosecutions
that will hold them up to the scorn
of the public and result in the collec'
ton of penalties. This class Of taxpay-

raised that would reach to the skies.
The difference is that the unions are
