The great, ana inevitable, changes

The thought involved in Wash
ington's farewell address in which
he pointed out the danger Of en-
tangling alliances with European
powers. was the best thought OF
that day" said Sen Hitchcock.
Then there were 100000 peo-
pie scattered through Is states hug
ging the coast Of the continent. II
was wisdom that they should be
free from foreign alliances. But a
great. and inevitable growth has
come about, so that now our IS
states spread across a continent, and
we call 100000 coo citizene of the
United States.
1T has become impossible that we
live by ourselves as Americans ex-
clusively. Our participation in the
World war is only one of the latest
world businesses" in which we have
taken part, and the invitation is
sued by our government TO other
governments TO meet at a disarma-
ment conference is the elimination
Of years Of growth and development.

Farewell Party rendered
Mr.. and Mrs. J. II. Wilt

As an expression of the high regard
felt for Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H. Wilt most of
the professional and business men of
lone, together with their wives, gather
ed last Monday evening at DR.. Walkers
spacious residence and lawn to bid them
farewell on the eve of their departure
for their new home at Grass Valley. The
affair was complete surprise to Mr.
and Mrs. Wilt, they having no intima-
ton of what was coming until they were
escorted from their home into the pres
ence of half hundred of their friends
and business associates. DR.. and Mrs.
Walker made everyone feel at home.
Music and song interspersed with games
on the lawn and light refreshments
caused the feeting hours to pass rapid
ly. While all regretted the near depart
ure of the guests of honor best wishes
were showered upon them with the hope
that the coming years would be as kind
to them as the past thirteen of their res
idence in lone. Both will be missed here,
where Mrs. Wilt has been prominent in
social affairs and Mr., Wilt active in bus
mess and public matters. Mrs. Wilt
leaves today for Grass Valley, where Mr.,

MORROW SEED WHEAT
IS CERTIFIED FOR 1922
&C. c .Calkins, County Agent

1t still is a noticeable fact that
large percentage of the fields would lack
much of passing the certifcation test
Over half of the fields inspected for GER
tifcation were rejected. No doubt there
are many other fields which might have
passed had they been reported in. How
ever, the fact that only the class A
wheat was passed this year eliminated
a good many fields which otherwise
ted to pass the inspection having over
would have passed. No field was permit
one half of one per cent mixture unless
a large percentage of the mixture hap
pened to be of the same color as the
wheat in question. Most of the fields
passing the test had less than quarter
of per cent mixture and few were
practically pure.
In addition to we'll prepared summer
fallow and early seeding you need good
seed. The list below is published in or
der that you may know where certified
seed can be secured. These fields were
all inspected by f. R. Jackman from

of Oregon,

Boy Scouts Enjoy Trip
To Camp In Mountains

Sixteen Boy Scouts, with Scoutmaster
Livingstone, three pack horses and two
saddle horses, left town on July A for
their annual encampment in the noun
tains. They left town at p. m. and
camped the first night at Kelley Spring
one mile beyond the forks of Willow
creek. Next morning they went on to
their camp at Herren mill. They spent
ten days of delightful camp life in six
small camps thoroughly organized. The
time was largely given over to work
with recreational period each day.
Practically all the boys at camp passed
into the second degree Scout work dur
ing that time. Bobbie Turner, the ten
year old mascot, kept pace with the
troop throughout, and is qualified for
second class Scout, though he cannot
become tenderfoot for two years yet.
The work consisted of camp cooking,
hiking, nature study, first aid, learn
ing to box the compass, and the Inter-
national Service code, tracking. The
boys were graded in all this work, and
the grades were exceptionally good
They proved themselves to be fine
Scouts in every way, and their obedience
and manliness were most commendable,
A number of visitors were at camp, es-
pecially on Sunday, The boys were at
camp ten days, returning on Thursday
last, tired, enthusiastic and happy.

MORE CARE N DRIVING
URGED BY sec. STATE
Travel on Highways in Oregon Heavy
Now and Great Need of Observance of
Road Laws and Caution on Part Of
Drivers Is Urged by State Official.

There is a great congestion Of traffic
over the highways of the state Of Ore
gon during the months of July and Aug
ust. This has been true in other years,
but il is doubly true this season, as
there is a continual stream Of automo-
biles coming and going. The need of
care in driving is therefore urgent that
accidents may be averted. Concerning
this question we desire to give the fol-
lowing letter received this week from
the office of the Secretary of State:
Salem, July 13, 1922.
Mr.. Vawter Crawford, Editor Gazette
Times.-In view of the fact that during
the months Of July and August travel
on the highways of Oregon is the heav-
lest and, as consequence, liability of
accident from the operation of motor
vehicles is greatly increased, | deem
it an opportune time to direct attention
to this condition and earnestly urge
upon car drivers in your locality greater
care in the operation of their cars. Cau-
ton on their part in this respect will
help in large measure in making the
highways reasonably safe for travel, ana
continued attention to a few simple
rules of the road will ultimately make
travel comparatively safe at all time of
the year.
There is no time in the year when
careful driving is not imperative. Dur
ing the summer months congestion of
traffic, which is greatly augmented by
thousands of tourist cars from other
states, necessitates closest attention to
the observance of road laws, while win
ter months demand, in addition, extreme
caution on the part of drivers on ac-
count of slippery pavements, obscured
vision, etc. A little thought on the part
Of operators will minimize the danger
and reduce the number of accidents, of
which it is said the greater percentage
is due to carelessness.
To this end / am, therefore, taking
the liberty of asking you, through the
columns of your newspaper, to urge
upon your readers who are car opera
tors, the real need, especially during the
current summer months, of the exercise
of added caution and discretion, so that
avoidable accidents, with consequent in
juries and possible fatalities may be
prevented.
/ feel quite sure that cooperation be-
tween the state press and the traffic di-
vision of the state department will tend
to direct the attention of all drivers
to the necessity of care on their part
and impress upon them their direct IL
ability and risk by failure to observe
certain rules of the roadway as well as
impose upon other vehicles unnecessary
dangers. Full cooperation will reduce
to great extent our record of viola
tions in this state and prevent many
accidents which are avoidable.
Approaching deeply your interest in
our efforts to make travel safe in Ore
gon, am,
Yours very truly,
SAM A. K0ZER,
Secretary of State.
