This particular family had been
accustomed to servants, but finds
that it is easy to live without
them. The feeling of independ-
,nce and security more than
compensates for the absence OF
servants.
These pioneers of 1889 have
gone back to the principles which
established this country and
made il great. They are find
ing that the same effort Will
nroduce the same result that It
did when the country was new.

Spending a weekend on the
peninsula. we wandered Sunday
morning into a little church at
Gig Harbor. The preacher was
the Rev. George w. Frame, who
in the past 40 years or so has
held important pastorates in the
Methodist church in Western
Washington. He retired a few
years ago, but like the old fire
horse hearing the gong, he can't
resist a call for service. He is
keeping the Gig Harbor church
going while the congregation fig
ures out ways and means to pro-
vide for a resident pastor.
The sermon Sunday morning
was typical of George Frame-a
simple, straightforward spplica-
cation of the gospel to everyday
living. 1t was interesting to note
also that the soloist Sunday
morning was Mrs. G. A. Reeves,
a member of the peninsula sum-
mer colony who sang at a service
conducted by Mr.. Frame 81 years

In the light of these agree
ments, published reports that

Russia can fill her needs for

cheaply from Germany than
from the United States. More
over, she can do this on a barter

that the Russo German decker

country in an embarrassing
dilemma.

CONDITIONS NOT SAME,

ISOLATIONISTS

Editor, The Times: With i'm
pressvely persistent perversity
our isolationist friends continue
TO quote Washington's advice
against inducements with other
nations as though conditions OBJ
tanning practically 200 years ago
and those of today are identical,
and Washington's casual obser-
walton in his day was the last
word. It is as though time, con-
ditions and circumstances could
evolve no alterations and what
might have been wise enough
temporary expediency becomes
an irrevocahle law for all time.
A week. periodical of nation
al circulation which cherishes
the isolation notion most ardent
ly, advances the contention that
Washington was nearer to for
eign interests and influences and
dangers than we are today be-
cause Spain and France and
England had substantial terri
torial holdings in the western
hemisphere in his time. But
title to the French holdings was
on the point of passing out Of
existence and coming TO us. The
Territory under Spanish influ-
ence was a thousand times as
far away in point of communica-
ton as the remotest place on
the globe today. We had no
business with them, no common
interests. Those on the North
American continent under the
British crown. settled down be-
side US in peace and concord and
have been brothers with US and
mutually helpful patrons ever
since. II does not appear that
this close Internationally has
been harmful or dangerous.
In Washington's day we were
a weak little half-united handful
holding by q slender thread
great territory which any sub
stantial and determined Euro
pean nation could have wrested
from US easily, notwithstanding
the CORVALLIS surrender. We
were in no sense dependent upon
large foreign trade. Foreign
relations were of little moment
TO US then and might be fraught
with dangers.
At that time We could know
little or nothing Of what was
going on IN the rest Of the
world. Practically three months
were required to communicate
with any Of our ambassadors
abroad and receive reply. To-
day IT is q matter Of seconds or

TT might not work everywhere,
but in the township of Rhine
beck. New York, a lot of people
have turned the pages back to
the DAYS when every man obtain
ed part of his living from the
soil. The story is told by VIII
liam A. Seabrook, newspaper
reporter, adventurer, soldier OF
fortune and writer.
The population of Rhinebeck Is
about 5000. Out of that num-
Der there are only about 70
ablebodied persons who have
been compelled to apply for
WPA work relief.
More than a hundred families
live in small houses on Few
acres of land. They produce
enough so that their cash re-
ouirements for a year do not ex-
coed $3.50.
These people do not live In
poverty. They raise their fruit
and vegetables or obtain them
by exchange with their neigh
bors. They raise chickens,
rabbits, pigs and keep a COW
or two. The surplus Is sent to
Ne city and produces part OF
the cash income.
There is no worry about now
they are going to get through
the winter. Every cellar is filled
with canned fruits and vegeta-
bles. There is salt pork in the
brine and hams and bacon hang
ing from the rafters.
1t is true that all of these fami-
lies do not have all the luxuries.
Some families do not have cars
nor electric lights nor modern
plumbing; but, says Seabeck,
neither did our pioneer ancestors.
They do have security and free
dom from anxiety over how they
shall obtain their food or cloth
ing. They have freedom from
the desperate driving haste Of the
cities.
Some of the homes are log
cabins. Few of them represent
an investment of more than $500
for material and labor. The in
