PERKINS STAGES
 COMMUNITY FAIR

Perkins community fair, the first one planned in this county and prob ably the largest, is being held today at Perkins, about 30 miles north of Conway, with big crowd in attend ance. Exhibits in many departments had been entered for the fair, and competent judges secured to award the premiums offered. County Agent T. NJ. Williams, Supt. A. A. Parsons. Jr., Home Agent Mrs. c. D. Turner and Deputy Sheiff J. I. Summers are among the county officers there for the day. The state and district dem onstration forces are represented by Miss Frank M. Coopwood, district agent, and others, some of whom will serve as judges.
 Dr. K. E. Hudson, the Franklin county stock grower and diversified farmer, possibly pulled little fun at the expense of MT. Williams. Dr. Hudson wrote Mir. Williams that he had read how mosquitoes were throng- ing the south end of Conway. Not knowing what they carried in their bills, pr. Hudson in all seriousness informed the county agent it would be best for him to stay away from Conway. MT. Williams and some oth- CTS took his card seriously, and hence were much surprised when the doctor arrived last night, ready to start this for Perkins. He will speak on live stock growing.

GIANTS BAT } PITCHERS
 OUT OF BOX
(By the Associated PressJ

Polo Grounds, New York, Oct. T. Viciously swinging their war clubs
 McGraw's Giants today got sweet re- venge on the Yankees when they bat ted and battered three helpless Amer ican League pitchers out of the box.
 The score at the end of eighth inning stood 12 to for the Giants.
 The Yankees started off as if they were going to make it three straight victories, when in the fourth inning they hammered Toney and Barnes, who relieved him for enough hits to produce four runs. The National Leaguers, however, came right back and tied the score in their half of the same inning, fusillade of hits forcing Shawkey, who started for the Americans, to cover.
 The real fireworks were touched in the seventh, when the Giants batted entirely around and three men batted twice. Quinn was knocked out and Collins and Rogers were both rushed in by Manager Huggins in a vain eff fort to stop the Nationals barrage. The third out was finally made after eight Giants had crossed the pan.
 At the end of the eighth inning the Giants had accumulated IS hits against seven registered by the Yan- keeS

SHARPE GROVER. BEST SCOUT
 GOVERNMENT EVER HAD"

"The best scout the government ever lad" said some of the army officers tr whom Sharpe Grover secuted dur ing the Indian wars in Kansas in S7-6S, and more than once he showed l.imself worthy of the title. He had ,aarried Sioux woman, and lived ith the tribe for years. He could peak their language and knew their Nays. As trailer and reader of gns, Grover was without peer.
 He could tell how long since the tracks had meen made; whether they ere by horses or ponies, shod or un- sisod; how many were ridden, how liany were driven; whether 1t was a ar party or one moving from one ,amp to another.
 When the Sioux went Op the war lath in 1866, Grover left them and ,ined the army as scout for Custer. la August. 1868, with Billy Comstock. nother noted scout, he visited the imp of Chief Turkey Leg of the Chey- 'tines, whose warriors were supposed 10 be friendly. One of the Indians, a'yvever, saw the fine pearl-handled re- ,plver carried by Comstock and deter !. ined to have 1t. When the scouts eft the camp seven Cheyennes rode way with them.
 While engaged in friendly conversa- t:n, the Indians suddenly dropped to ite rear and opened fire. Comstock as killed instantly and Grover badly + ounded. but lying on the ground and .aking desperate defense of Com ,lock's body. he fought off the Indians til nightfall and escaped.
 The next month Grover joined Gen. q. A. Forsyths band of scouts and 'as with them at the celebrated 2 ,echer's Island fight AS Roman ,se's warriors shouted to each other, over understood everything they i'd, and told Forsyth what they were inning to do. After the biggest arge of the Sioux and Cheyennes d been turned back, Forsyth turned c. Grover and said: Gan they do bet IT than that, Groverr
 I have been on the plains. man and  7, for 90 years, and never saw such charge before.' was the scouts reply

The Phone Increases


Action of the Oregon hoemens association in demanding
rehearng of the telephone by the Public Service Com
to secure reduction of increases ordered and the
determination to tender payment at heod rates and to
through the courts any attempt of the to cut OIL
service until final settlement made shows how widespread
is the public revolt over the increased rates
AS for the hotemen themselves there is scant sympathy
for they pass the telephone tolls their guests Every
phone call originating at the hotel is paid for by the guests
and the assertion that the hotels forced to do the COM
panys business at their be taken with
grain of salt.
The Capital Journal believes that the Public Service Com
mission made mistake in granting the blanket increases
and nearly everyone else the commission itself and the
telephone company hold the WeW The increase entails
undue burden the people time they least afford
it, while at time in its history has the American Telephone
Telegraph company the of the operating
in Oregon been prosperous Quoting from It's annual
report we read:
The in 1920 after meeting operating charges and
payable and dividends
over similar Charges for 1918 While dividends paid
at the usual rate Of IS per share per year
and the remainder s8422 was carried
dividends at the rate Of at least $3.50 share each the
IS surplus 900
than 27 the invested in
property and on this amount is not necessary to pay
The telephone company is monopoly that scientifically
mucs the public through it's various subsidiaries Although
countless inventions have cheapened the cost Of rendering
telephone service there has been reduction in tolls
the public On the contrary they have continued to increase
with the volume of business and the company pockets the
profits The subsidiary companies shout calamity and con-
stanty clamor for increased tolls while the parent
brags of its extraordinary profits.
The public service commission created to protect the
people from the rapacy of public service corporations who
entitled only to fair return for service rendered But
the cost plus system has made the buwark of this
eton which by skiful juggling and manipulating state
against state continues to pile up hundreds of millions of
surplus for the parent and yet apparently
meets expenses for subsidiaries All Of which raises the
of whether national monopoly like the telephone
should not be regulated nationally instead of by states

Works Both WAYS

1t is poor rule that doesn't work both ways. Reputation
of long time contracts by when prices began
which nearly wrecked two of the basic industries of Salem
have been sustained by the court in time to benefit
the industries in question: leaving them free of contracts
at time of falling markets.
The growers who benefited temporarily by reputation
find themselves without assured market at time
they need most that in the long it will probably
be demonstrated that Reputation does not pay.
1t worked real hardship professors who had con-
aced produce at fixed basis to have the contracts treated
scraps of paper in boom market. It works real
hardship the grower to have the repudaton sustained
collapsed market.
To have assured market at a certain figure
term of years is better business for both grower and
acurer than open market for it sabzes the business
of both And after ALL it is the law of averages that
successful business not spasmodc getchquck profits
The growers interests and manufacturers interests
really identical and the prosperity of the hinges the
prosperity of the other and when each recognizes this
ta and harmony replaces dscord both will be upon
substantial basis,

70 the EditOr:-I would like to
unload" a few timely thoughts,
via your Open Forum concerning
our new president. To begin with,
I've noticed that he has started in
serving this country" by asking
assistance in alleviating the stress
caused by famine in China.
I'm not an agitator nor DO | be-
long to any organization either
directly or indirectly accused Of
agitating, but does it not seem to
you that the place to start is right
here in the United States? There
are plenty of poor people right
here in our own country who are
on the brink of starvation acd
who Il Think should be the re-
cipients of any sort of generosity,
philanthropy or anything you
care to call it.
China never did anything for
us-nor did any of it's subjects,
unless it was to help the traffic in
drugs, thereby necessitating the
organizing of what l think are
called Drug Squads" of city po-
licemen.
Any red blooded American will
stoOp to help his brother before he
will help another. If he does not
he's not worthy of the name
American"
There are thousands of locali-
ties in the United States where
the honorable president could
start right in doing his good
work. The good old Red Cross. |
am sure, will furnish him with a |
list that would take up quite a bit
Of his time attending to aud see
ing that the families were cared
for properly.
Our president may be a won
derful man, a good man and
man who has handled large propo-
Sitions, but he would make more
Of a "hit" with me if he would
adhere to that old proverb Char
Ity begins at home"

my dug into the ground the more
excited he grew. And he had
just decided that he had almost
reached the end of the tunnel,
and that a little more digging
would bring him inside of Mr..
/ Woodchuck's house, when he met
with an unexpected check.
To Tommy's dismay, Mr..
Woodchuck's tunnel led between
two roots of the big oak, and
Tommy could not squeeze be-
tween them. He reached his
paws though the narrow opening
and crowded his nose in as far
as it would go. But that Was all
he could do. He did not doubt
that somewhere in beyond, in
the darkness, Mr.. Woodchuck
was having a good laugh because
Tommy had done all that work
for nothing.
I am sorry to say that Tommy
Fox lost his temper. He called
after Mr.. Woodchuck. Yes-he
shouted some rather bad names
after him. But of course that
didn't do a bit of good. And
Tommy Fox put on his coat and
went home to think about what
he could do. He didn't care to
ask his mothers advice, because
he didn't want her to know that
Mr.. Woodchuck had got away
from him. But he hoped to find
some way in which he could
catch the old gentleman.
