 sudden and so tragic that his friends, especially those who met him every day, have scarcely come to the reali- zation that he has passed from Us for. ever. He went forth strong and viz. orous and in rloc.ent, ere the laughter and childish glee ot the chill dren with whom he had been but shortly before laughing and playing had died away in his ears, almost in the very twinklinz of an eye they say he was no more. The concourse of his friends at his home, the hushed voices there and signs of sorrow and grief the long procession winding it's way to the cemetery, the voice of the minister over his funeral bier and at last the grave. are All indisputab.e evidences that his life Is ended and that his course here is forever run The instability of what seems so sta hle, the sudden stopping forever of heart that beats. the quick change from life to death causes mankind to pause and pausing realize the great truth of mortality; and yet. the h1 man heart is so constituted that hope springs up until belief fills the elind that what we call death" is not in fact thu end of all and that today our Brother peacefully awaits our coming in that Grand Lodge of the universe where the tasks placed upon the 'tressel board" by the omnipotent hand of the Grand Master" of us all. nsver becomes tiresome or unpleas. ant
 No greater or more honest tribute could be paid to the life and character of good man than that shown by the mighty concourse of friends from this and adjoining counties that jour neyed to the cemetery on that quiet Sabbath afternoon to pay their tribute of respect to the memory of Brother McElroy-a tribute well earned and deserved by life well lived
 When such man as this is taken from our midss it's but mete and proper that some memorial of his lifa and death be made and preserved.

The Rent Question

We. the farmers of Ahx. have presented our demads for the renting of land to the various landlords for the year 1922. We demand that ali land should rent on the cale of third and fourth, half of each tenants crop to be planted ln cotton and onehalf in corn and feedstutf. We also contend that the landlord has no right to rent land over a tenant when hls only excuse IS to sell and old run down team of mules al an eXorbition price. Under the past system- of renting of land q farmer never knew from one ear to another whether or not he would get his land back and H many instances he would have to sell his team and buy one from the landlord at a double price. We sincerely believe these conditions are unAmerican and should not be tolerated in a country that sacrificed so much in the late war to make the world safe for democracy.
 The landlords contend for the farmers 10 plant three-fourths in cotton and one fourth corn, one fourth If the cotton for rent and SS 5O for corn land. They offer a substitute proposition for us. to plant 1-2 in cotton and 1-2 in corn, l-4 of the cotton for rent and $11.50 for corn land. It IS impossible for US to accept either of these propositions as we have lost two years work. and as there is nothing in the future as We can see for cotton to sell above the production cost
 We have offered everything that is fair in this controversy and as we are still living in "a free country we take this method of informing our Feudai Lords that We are not vet ready to submit to involuntary servitude in order that they might live in luxury.
 We have exhausted our patience in trying to negotiate an agree able rent scale and as there is no higher authority to whom we may appeal, we, the farmers of Local 2772 located at Alix. agree to close work until a satisfactory agreement Is reached, or until such times as the landlords find out that the European War is over and we are now living in a state of normalcy." /"

FEEDING HOGS BY WHOLESALE
On California Ranch Five Thousand
Of the Animals Are Accommo.
dated at the Same Time.

A miniature railroad system consist
Ing of five miles of standard gage
track, an 18-ton steam locomotive, an
auxiliary and emergency gasoline loco
motive and fleet of 80 specially ar
ranged feeding cars Is used on the
Diamond Bar ranch In California to
feed 5000 hogs. And 1t takes two men
less than one hour to do the job.
The mechanical equipment Is the
most ingenious and unique Of any In
use.
Feeding yards are arranged so they
front on both sides Of the track. At
the front Of each yard is large hog
trough. Directly over each trough Is
a gate, hinged at the top, operated by
a trip release which causes the gate
to swing outward SO that the porkers
may have access to their feed when
the dinner gong sounds.
A 1,500-gallon tank has been mount
ed on fiat car and series of aglta-
tor paddles. operated by small gaso-
line engine, have been installed inside
this huge vat. These paddles stir the
feed constantly and keep 1t mixed thor
oughly.
There Is cutoff delivery spout at
the bottom Of the tank which is so ar
ranged with hood that 1t can be ex-
tended directly over the rows of
troughs as the locomotive hauling the
feed car steams slowly down the feed
Ing alley.
One attendant operates the cutoff
valve and fills each trough with feed,
while the other releases the gates aft
er the feed is deposited.-Cincinnati

HEARST VS.. McNARY

The Seattle -Intelligencer ha
issued and is distributing to the pres
Of Oregon circular letter reproduc
ing an editorial attack in its col
umns upon Senator McNary for hi
decision to support the four-powel
treaty.
The gist of this typical Brisbane
TRADE is that McNary has betrayed
the Pacific Coast for accepting the
presidents assurances that the treaty
means peace in the Pacific without
committing our government to an en-
tangling alliance, against the assur-
ance of the Hearst newspapers that
it really means war in the Pacific
and does commit our government to
an entangling alliance.
Let us quote Article 2 Of the treaty,
upon which the jingoistic Hearst bal
derdash is based:
"If the said rights are threatened
by the aggressive action of any other
power, the high contracting parties
shall communicate with one another
to arrive at an understanding as to
the most efficient measures to be
taken, jointly and separately, to meet
the exigencies Of the particular stu
ation."
To anyone who isn't suffering from
mental arrangement due to reading
the Hearst newspapers, this pact
among nations amounts to virtually
the same thing as "gentlemen's
agreement" among individuals. In
dustrial magnates confer to avoid
the disastrous fruits Of throat-cut-
ting competition. These four powers
will confer to avoid the disastrous
effects of friction resulting from rival
Far East policies.
The United States is bound by this
article to nothing but a friendly ex
change Of views in order to clear up
possible MISUNDERSTANDING. Presi
dent Harding says so, and we believe
him. Senator McNary thinks SO, ant
we support him in his attitude. We
are confident that nine-tenths of the
people Of Oregon will support him in
his attitude.
Confirmed in the habit of batting
the English and batting the Japanese,
the Hearst newspapers are angered
because peaceful solution of Pacific
problems deprives them of ammuni-
tion for their laundering blunderbus.
That's all the P. rs pitiful plea for
concerted action among Oregon news
papers against McNary, amounts to.
During and after the war these rabid
Hearst sheets have been as thorns in
the flesh of the United States gov
ernment, and their poisonous drooling
should be recognized for what it is.

That astute political writer, Mark
Sullivan, pays the following tribute
to an ex-president whose work will be
better appreciated in history, we
think, than by his cotemporaries:
"Who could have foretold that an adj
ministration in power with an cleo
tion facing it in few months would
have had the courage to begin defla-
tion with all its pains and unpopu-
larity? This and other aspects Of
the management of our postwar
finance on the part Of President Will
son and Secretaries Glass and Hous-
ton constituted one Of the finest ex-
amples of intellectual integrity and
political courage in our history. 1t
is chiefly this we shall have to thank
If we get through without serious
contest with financial heresies."
