The Universalists Of Portland are
keeping their big central church at
Congress Square open through the
summer and are appealing to the au-
toist, both native and tourist. by
holding the service at $50 in the
morning. The enthusiasm and en-
dorsement for this scheme has cheered
the board of control. People want to
go to church and they want to go to
the country. Both are healthy and
both are necessary. Congress Square
church believes in both. The plan
this year provides for both.

seeds of discOrd in contented and

than Honorable Robert Underwood
Johnson, former American Ambas-
sador to ITALY, states that we appear
to be on the eve of new upheaVals
in many countries of the globe. He
says that unrest has been fomented
in India, Afganistan, Persia, China,
Morocco, and Mexico. All the great
powers, England, Germany, Italy,
France and Japan, have burnt
their fingers at this nephitic flame.
Only the United States, with pru-
dence and a foresight almost
amounting to clairvoyance, has re-
sisted this advance. Honorable
Charles Evans Hughes, when Secre-
tary of State, openly denounced any
recognition of the Soviet Govern
ment. Secretary of State Kellogg
takes the same position.
Mexico has within her borders to-

ERADICATING SCRUB BULLS

Scrub bull eradication campaigns
are rapidly gaining the favor of en-
terprising county agents as a means
of improving the cattle of their
counties, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Fifteen
dairy bulls of quality were added re-
Gently to the bovine population of
Hopkins County, Ky. Prior to the
campaign in this county two COM
mitteemen from each community
made a survey of their school dis
trict to determine the number of
bulls. COWS, and heifers on the farms
what breed they were, and whe-
ther scrub or purebred. The survey
covered $50 farms and showed a
dairy-cattle population of 1924 ma
ture grade COWS, 536 grade heifers,
1O1 mature purebred cows, and 81
purebred heifers; also that more
than 80 per cent of the farm herds
were being bred to scrub or grade
bulls and only about 10 per cent to
purebred bulls.
For the organization meeting the
Hopkins County Farm Bureau ar
ranged a banquet for the community
committeeman and business men.
One hundred and fourteen attended.
An executive committee of five men
was selected. During the week of the
campaign 80 meetings were held i'll
all sections of the county with to-
tai attendance of 1882, averaging
about 54 persons at each meeting.
The bulls were selected by the pur-
chasing committee in Christian and
Todd Counties, KY, and brought to a
local garage for exhibition and sale
during the campaign. Fifteen bulls
were sold by the end of the week.
The majority of the bulls purchased
were from dams with advanced reg
istry records.
The stimulating influence for bet
ter bulls never ends with the close
of the campaign week. In Buncombe
County, N. c.. where a similar cam
paign was conducted early last fall,
at which time 12 bulls were placed
during the week of the campaign,
the county agent reports total of
20 bulls being placed, II after the
close of the campaign.
A campaign was also held in Ches-
ter County, S. c., where 16 bulls
were placed durin gthe week. The
county agent reports that he has
more prospects for pure
bred bulls, also that a number of
communities have pledged them
selves to eliminate the scrub bull.

SUMMER NEWS WORTH READING
(By National Press servieel

Washington, D. c., July 15-Sever-
al weeks ago Secretary of State Kel-
lOgg, in an address to a Minnesota
audience, warned against foreign
propaganda which has for it's direct
aim the injury of the United States,
That this warning was most time
ly is evidenced by the fact that the
Government has learned that the
Soviet Government has fully
equipped, we'll supplied with money,
organization in operation in Wash
| ington. The headquarters of the So
Wet in the United States are located
on Connecticut Avenue, one of
Washington's fashionable sections of
the city, and, while those in charge
blandly disaVow any intention of
trying to influence the people of the
United States in favor of the Soviet
form of Government; it is most un-
likely that this headquarters has, or
will confine, itself merely to the
sending out of formal trade re-
ports"
The establishment of this head
quarters was evidently selected by
the Soviet leaders at time when
they thought they could sow seeds of
dissention in the minds of the citi-
zens of this country, but they had
reckoned without advance knOwl-
edge of what the Supreme Court of
the United States was going to do in
the matter of upholding the New
York state law against the preach
ment of anarchy. The decision of
this, our highest legal body, will
strengthen the operation of existing
statutes and will no doubt result in !
the passage of new laws in many
states,-laws that will be aimed at |
communistic doctrines.
The average citizen is too busy
with his own personal affairs to in
vestigate the object of bolshevistic
activities to any great extent, but if |
one takes the time they will find
that the men who scout the exist
ence of God, who advocate free love,
common law marriages and $1.40 di-
vorces, are industriously spreading
their doctrines, not only in the Unit
ed States but throughout the world.

HOW INVESTMENTS AFFECT
WAGES

Less than twenty-five years age
the average mechanic worked for 25
cents an hour, Sc hours a week. To
day in the manufacturing industries
the average mechanic works A
hours a week at an hourly rate of
Sc cents to 80 cents. In a quarter of
a century the hourly wage rate for
mechanics has increased 244 per
cent, while their hours of work de-
creased 27 per cent. Similar illus
trations might be found in any typi-
cal American industry. In 1914 the
manufacturing industries of this
country paid O67,719,OOO in wages.
In 1928 their total pay roll was $1O,-
9S5, 5,S95,OO0. This year the total will
probably be even somewhat larger.
In almost all the trades wages
have more than doubled since 1914.
The present high standard of wages
in the United States is made possible
because money capital has been
converted into producing capital in
the form of modern machinery. This
means increased efficiency that has
made enormous production possible.
Workers in the shoe industry, for
example, are receiving twice the
wage scale of 1900, simply because
100 pairs of shoes, that 25 years ago
required 236 hours of man labor,
can now be made in 1853 hours.
AS workers save portion Of their
earnings and put them to work in
sound enterprise they are helping to
cut the cost of production upon
which wage increases depend. EV-
cry dollar safely invested and used
for industrial expansion, to acquire
more efficient machinery and larger
factories, works to cut production
costs. Thus the dollar placed in
honest, capable business, besides as
surfing the investor steady income,
is helping the worker gain shorter
hours, better working conditions,
improved products and higher
wages. And equally, on the other
hand, the dollar used to finance wild
cat schemes cripples honest indus
try and keeps wages down.

in building and maintaining the

pie of Latvia is to be commended
when it is taken into consideration
that in the territory occupied by the
new country the loss in population
was 40 per cent.
The people of the United States
must not, however, get the idea that
any of the nations that have agreed
to pay their debts are going to be
able to complete the payments in a
few years, because to do so would
be financial suicide. The payments
will extend over a period of years
and, of course, interest will be paid
on the deferred payments.
