tutions do not count on the average
housewife stopping to reason the
business falsity Of their position.
They expect to get by on mere de-
olarations that they can save money
for their victims.
In the first place the most ex-
pensive method of doing business is
by personal canvassers. IL is ne
cessarily SO. The solicitor must
go from door to door. No one comes
to him. lie must stay at hotels,
must travel on trains, and the cost
OF all this must be charged up
against the goods he has to sell.
Since his individual orders must
be in the nature of the case, small,
the cost per order mounts. Then,
too, since he sells in broken lots the
cost of packing. unpacking and
shipment are proportlonately en-
larged.
All this certainly should, when
taken into account prove that either
the man is selling inferior goods, or
is charging a higher price than the
same goods can be secured at the
stores, or delivered at the door OF
the consumer.
Then tho folks who buy from such
a peddler have no way of determin.
ing the quality OF the goods they
are to receive. Like boy, they
are trading unsight-unseen. It IL
a mighty poor way TO buy groceries
Ior anything else. And what is more
II will not save any money, either

THE BUSINESS MEN AND DAIRY.
ING

In their effort TO provide capital so
that a loan company can be formed
from which the ranchers of this sec
tlon can secure the use OF war fin
ance money with which to enter the
dairy business, the business men Of
Ontario are not thus urging any
farmer to take advantage OF the op-
portunity.
In other words the business men
are not trying TO rush the farmer
into the dairy business. The farmer
must make his own decision. he
must consult his own desires, and his
own wishes. Just because the mon
ey is TO be made available II does
not follow that the ranchers must
take Il and must get a dairy herd
started, not at all.
All tho business men want to do Ia
TO assist in making II possible for
those farmers who want cattle. and
who are entitledNocredit TO secure Il
on as favorable terms as their neigh
bors. 90
Undoubtedly there are some Of
those who want cows who would be
better off without thom. for they are
not tompermentally adapted to the
routine Of dairying. and these, were
they 20 enter the business now and
later regretted their venture, might
feel like condemning those who ad
vocato the business as n good thlnp
for tho community in general.
These facts must be understood
Ono OF the principal reasons given by
some OF the closest students OF con
dltions for not subscribing 20 stock
was tho possibility OF n misundor'
standing OF the business mons posi-
tlon. Having witnessed similar en-
doavors which were not successful

that thoy were right, they did moi

THE FARMERS, CONFERENCE

II Is hard to predict what will
come from the conference in Wash
ington which has for It's subject
American agriculture. One almost
despairs OF conferences, we have 30
many Of them, and 80 much time is
spent In meeting and. discussions. II
soems TO be the most confirmed ha-
bit tho American people have be-
come the victims OF during the past
few years. =,
But, forgetting for the moment the
conference habit. and the fact that
very often action does not follow ad-
wise; still there II much room for
thoughtful encouragement In the
opening address which President
Harding made TO tho gathering. II
10 plain that the President has a
koon appreciation OF tho farmers'
needs. and that he proposes that
means be employed 20 supply them.
Ho declares among other things
that the farmers DO accorded the
same degree OF financial assistance
which business enjoys I. .. that
farming operations may be financed
on tho basis OF the turnover Just as
merchants and manufacturers are
Tho justice OF this Is self evident.
Farmers will take encourage
ment In the fact that men In high
places are giving their attention "a
their needs. and while Il Is perhaps
too much TO expect Immediate re-
suits, still II Is well known that II
takes tho American people, Congress
and other organizations Just so much
time and talk before real action
comes. The start has been made In
this conference.

 Students" of the college attend dur ing the winter months. In the sum mer they disperse to the harvest fields to otoher migratory seasonal occupa- tions, or to the hobo life.
 Three nights a week will be given to instructions this winter. Industrial law. economies and health are the courses offered, each handled by com petent instructors. There is also a box at favOrite operatic or theatrical at tractions-also, free meals certain eve nings. These meals can always be counted upon to swell attendance at the classes.
 The once successful man, the man highly educated who cannot seem to find his niche, the boy who never had a chance and the vagraft from choice all are enrolled at the college. Some find mental stimulus and a means Of becoming useful citizens again; others find in the institution it's comforts, free from "flop-house" atmosphere.

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-Chicagos Hobo College is just opening it's fall term.
 And judging from the hundreds of dOwn-and-outerS, panhandlerS, joblesS men and others out of luck who are pouring in from all parts of America, this years enrolment will set new rec ords.
 As an institution of learning for the man down and out, where he not only can study but be warm all winter, dis cuss his own problems and review his ramblings. the Hobo College was es- tablished 20 years ago by James Fades Howe. millionaire hobo" Since then, it has become a recognized institution in Chicago.

Fools Paradise" Wins Merited Praise

Cecil B. De Mile achieved tri- umph when his latest Paramount pro duction, "ools Paradise" was shown at the Central theatre last evening. The picture, which proved itself one of the best eXemplars of Mir De Miles directorial skill, is one of the most delightful screen creations ever pre- sented in this city. The story deals with an American soldier in France who loves d French dancing girl, but who later meets an American girl dancer in a Mexican cantina and be- comes the central figure of highly dramatic and thrilling episodes. In their interpretation are seen such not ed screen figures as Dorothy Dalton, Mildred Harris, Conrad Nagel, Theo-

 It appears that the female attracts the male with fascination he cannot resist, although it means death to him The male and female join claws and lie contemplating each other raptur- ously. This ecstacy of contemplation continues for two days. Then they kiss, and, with the kiss, the female starts eating the male and does not stop until she devours him.

There was little or no damage in

EDITORIAL
SUPREME COURT DECISION
WOULD WRECK THE S. P.

Fortunate, indeed, it Is for Oregon
that the Transportation Act OF 1920
provides the means whereby the state
may be saved the costly complications
that would ensue were the recent de-
cision Of the u S. Supreme Court to
be enforced literally by separation of
the Central Pacific properties in Ore
|gon from the Southern Pacific. Title
to various disjcinted portions of the
Southern Pacific lines in Oregon rests
in the Central Pacific. The Southern
Pac6ic portion would be separated
from its main line connection with
California and portions Of 1t would be
separated from each other in Oregon
To disjoint them would maroon dif-
ferent sections of the state from
through service by one company, ex-
|cept so far as joint and compo. ing op-
eration by two companies over the
same lines could be established, with
all or its extra expense and vexatious
traffic complications.
1t is inconceivable th,t the U. S.
Attorney Generals Office viii attempt
immediate and literal enforcement of
tne decision, especially as 1t is of an
oid case brought under the 1890 Sher.
man antitrust act, which in 1920 was

STATE GRANGE TO BE
HELD NEWPORT 1923

One Of the big things accomplished
by the delegates of this section Of the
country at the state grange meeting
held at McMinnvi,ie last week fas
the fact that Newport was chosen as
the place for the holding of the 1923
convention. Much credit is due John
Bradbury ]. w. Parrish and other
Lincoln County representatives for
the landing of the 1923 convention In
Lincoln county. Other counties were
strong contenders but Lincoln finally
won out by five to one.
Newport will be called on to ac
commodate 1000 delegates that viii
attend the convention next year fol
the period OF one week, and this fact
will serve to open this beach resort
early and will also necessitate the
opening Of the roads to auto travel.
