Use Of Makeup.

Letters frequently come to me from
young girls who want to know what
makeup is and how 1t can be used.
and how much is permissible. I sup
pose the strict moralists would say that
I should condemn the use Of all make
up. And yet can't quite do that because
there are times when just little arti-
ficial color in the cheeks makes such
a difference in ones personal appear
ance, and in the feeling about ones
self. that surely no one could call it
wicked.
Makeup Is more than using rouge. Of
course. Though rouge may be an occa-
sional necessity. the rest Of these make
up articles are quite superhuous. l be-
lieve in tinting the cheeks a wee bit
when one is III or tired. and when the
color takes away from the ghastly ef-
feet Of a dead-white face. Beyond
that 1t is a question. not SO much OF
morals as Of good taste.
But there are girls who are deter
mined to use makeup. That being the
case. l would much prefer to tell them
how. so that they can produce as good
an effect as possible.

the best that you can afford. II you

CLEANING UP COTTON FIELDS
Why and How Cotton Stalks Should
Be Destroyed

Clemson College, S. C. Jan. a.-"The
following are a few of many reasons
why the cotton fields should be clean
ed up and stalks destroyed" says Geo.
M. Anderson, assistant entoaologist,
in urging farmers to clean up fields
now to help keep the weevil in check
next season.
1. Hordss of adult weevils are kill
ed outright. 2. The immature stages
on the plant are killed. 8. The adult
weevils not killed will be weakened by
starvation, especially if stalks are de
stroyed two or three weeks before
frost, and will not have sufficient
strength to pass the winter alive. a.
The removal OF the stalks facilitates
fall and early winter plowing, which
makes possible an earlier crop next
season.
There are three principal methods
by which the stalks may be destroyed
Each method has advantages and dis
advantages.
1. Uprooting or cutting, piling OF
burning. 2. Turning under as deeply
as practicable. 8. Grazing the field
if a sufficient number of animals can
be had to clean the leaves, bolls and
squares off the stalks in few days
time.
If you would make good crop
next year, see that the staia. are
completely destroyed as early as pos
sible.

be money in the farmers pocket.
And above all that there must be
more foodstuffs. The food crops must
not be figured on in terms of what
their cost would be as compared with
cotton. Even when cotton was forty
cents the pound we urged that more
attention should be paid to food crops.
No matter if an acre of cotton would
buy more bushels of corn than could
be raised on the acre, the first essen
tial of the real farmer is to make suf-
ficient food to run his farm on and
then look after his cotton acreage.
Cotton is our chief money crop and
despite the impending danger from
the boil weevil we must continue to
plant cotton, but the drain on the
country for food and fertilizer must
stop unless general bankruptcy is de-
sired.
It is a mater Of general concern,
for as has been truly said, "the pros
perity of the farmer is basic and when
he is crushed fiat the whole country
suffers with him.

last wear the sum Of nfty-tw million
dollars for fertilize:. If we take an
average of thirty-seven dollars and a
half for each bale, for the State as
we pointed out some time ago, this
would mean that Greenwood County
spent for fertilizer hst year consider
ably over a million dollars, possibly
a million and a quarter.
A far bigger and less excusable item
is that for food fG man and beast.
The Columbia authorities estimate
that one hundred and ten million dol
lars was sent out Of the state last
year for this item. And if we take
the average by counties, it shows that
Greenwood County must have spent
almost double its fertilizer bill in food
last year, or approx inately two and .
half million dollars. II We add these
two amounts together it will be seen
that the crop of cotpn if sold at pres
ent prices would MT pay or much
more than pay fo, aese two items.
No account is taien Of the money
for automobiles and ,ther things which
will run the total W enormously.
This part Of the world depends so
largely on its agricultural products
that its entire PROSPERITY is bound up
in that industry.
It is not pleasat and not always
expedient to alwas be harping on
disagreeable featurls but it is some
times the only way to cure a trouble
that If not cured ril bring about
very serious conseqences.
The farms of tbs county must be
made self-sustainig. There must be
money spent for fstilizer but intelli-
gent farming will lessen the amount
to be spent for commercial fertilizer.
Cover crops, crop ptation and the use
of compost and faest litter will not
only be better for the land but will

owing to the fixing of bread prices by
the corporation. In some of the strikes
the public were the greatest sufferers,
as supplies of gas, water or electricity
were cut off.
But in the number of working days
wasted (s11, 1,S14,9s0 in the first half
Of 1920) that indicates more clearly
how each country's economic position
suffered by these often very unnec-
cessary strikes.
In two-thirds of the strikes record
ed the strikers failed to achieve their
objects, so that in only one-third of
these industrial wars did the attack
ers gain advantage.

LABOR STRIKES COSTLY
Million Work Days Lost BY World
In 1929

(From the Manchester Guardine)
A million work days have been lost
during 1920 on futile strikes. Ger
many heads the list; Italy follows;
France and Great Britain are next,
and the United States follows, with a
record of nearly a million persons af-
fected.
The following are the most note
worthy strikes that have lately taken
place:
The Strikes of miners in Australia,
Wales and the Northern Provinces of
France; the strike of the Sicily sui
phur mine workers and the strike in
the Italian chemical industry, which
spread all over the country, just as
did the strike of bakers and cooks in
that land; the general building strike
in Switzerland, the cotton workers
strike in Bergamo Qtaly), the strike
in the textile industry in Bombay, the
steel workers, fight in Pittsburgh, Pa,
U. S. A., the strike in the Swedish
machine industry, the dockers' strike
at Rotterdam, the glassblowers'
strike in Montlucon (France) ar the
tailor's strike in London and Vienna.
Among the more important strikes
in Germany may be mentioned the
generl strike in the Ruhr district,
which was the result of the Kapp re-
volt, th. miners strike in Gugaugel-
snitzen, The strike in the iron industry
Of Soline en-, the strike in the dock
yard of Binnen, the strike Of agricul-
tural workers in Mecklenburg and in
Porierania, the machinists' strike in
Berlin, the brewers strike in Berlin,
Hamburg and Stettin and so forth.
Few of these strikes were due to
economic conditions. Thus the ar
rest of an anarchist leader was the
cause of lengthy strike in the metal
industry in Livorno, Italy. In France
q number of extremists on the labor
side advocated strikes to bring about
a world-revolution. Such strikes have
taken place in Brest, Marseilles, Nan
tes, and so forth The violent strike
in the mercury industry in Almada,
Spain, was due to political reasons.
Political reasons also were the cause
of strikes in Ireland, Poland, Egypt
and other places. The workers.
strike which took place in the Ruhr
district at the beginning Of the year
originated in the refusal of the Gov-
ernment tc libera'e some political
Lrisoners.

against the presence of troops at Els
enach and Plauen, while at Adenau

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1921-05-14

WASHINGTON, May 4y-(U. P.)-
The Harding administration is using
"pitiless publicity as a club TO beat
down retail prices.
Regularly and almost UNANIMOUSLY
cabinet officers and others holding i'm
portant places declares that retail
prices are higherfhan the prices of
raw materials warrant and that the
unwillingness Of the taller to reduce
is contributing to industrial-$ stagna-
tion, These statements are made in
speeches. talks with newspapermen or
in other ways that will bring them be-
fore the consuming public.
The apparent aim of the effort is:
First, to convince the retailer that he
must reduce prices for his own go6d.
as well as for that Of other classes, and
second. to drive home to the buyers
that they can get lower prices If
they demand them often and force
fully.
President Harding himself started
the drive in his message to congress
when he declared retail prices were
too high and suggested a congressional
investigation.
Since then the federal trade commits
sion has issued report on which the
president based his statement. Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace, Secretary
of Commerce Hoover and D, r. Cris-
singer. comptroller of the currency,
