MUST AMEND STATE LAWS FOR FARMERS CREDI1 ' (By Associated Preset Washington,' Noveber 16.—'The of a number of states will have to amended to enable their farmers to takofull advantage of intermediate credits provided.by Congress in th> agricultural (credits net Secretary **•••'***•• of -httfeuitwr * announced. Off!(*p of farm organisation t h • said should examine their state fc.w s LET US "JUST BE KIND" Wouldn’t this be • nice world if people made only speeches to one another instead of indulging in ill tempered remarks and mean criti cism T Even the bravest of us, the most self-reliant the ones of us who are most liberally endowed with com mon sense, have our moments of yearnings for sympathy the periods when we want some one to tell us that we are just the nicest creatures that ever happened. Of course we dont believe it any of us but it makes us feel good just the same, and it help us to work a little harder and to be a little more diligent and to postpone for a little longer the day that just seems to end everything. Families often indulge in unkind ly criticisms of one another. Kind remarks are as unheard of in some as two Sundays in a week, and na tures that would blossom into new beauties and broader development under the Influence of praise are starved and dwarfed and stunted for its lack. A pleasant feeling for yourself helps you to get thru your given work more easily; things glide along on wheels devoid of friction, the duties that looked mountain high dwindle down to hil-like' proportion and ail because some one has been nice enough to say a word that made you feel at peace with the world and yourself. And since unkindly criticism hurt 40 much and since praise leaves such a pleasant impression let us all turn over a new leaf commencing with this Thanksgiving season and be nice to each other as we journey along. What doe sit matter if some one accuses us of jollying? We are big and strong and can stand having that said to us when we know that we are infusing a little cheer and gladness into sone one’s life. So let us from now on as James Whitcomb Riley says in his familiar poem, “Just Be Kind.” The Oregon State Federation of Labor refuses to follow the lead of Samuel Gompers who demands light wines and beer exempted in the liq uor law. The Oregon federation un animously adopted a resolution de daring for strict enforcement of the law as it stands.

In the past the University authoi ies have sent out on trips of th ort an organization consisting of jombination of three groups—Oh blub, Orchestra, and Mandolin Clu This has always meant that each 01 if these three organizations was f, he most part so small that it w rot representative of the work do n the campus and that it was i iiudieoppid that it could not give logram of a very high type, i :.utra.-,t v.,th this the organizatic enl out this year consists entire t' the glee club, the men havii eSn chosen primarily from tl ndpolnt of their singing abilit be result is that the glee club ot only much stronger numerical ;ut that it contains the best void n the campus and is capable < inch fintr work than ever befon he other attractions scheduled fo he program are • all provided t men who are members of the gle club proper. wmet among mose m interest t he general public is the the Care ■inn Club Orchestra which has durin ■he last two years made a -name to tself as the most clever group 6. jazz artists in the state.

With the sea*’ on’s average to date approximately. .1 cents per pound and one third aC ne crop sold it may be safely as-: umed that the crop will average 23 ents. O nthis basis our present an imated crop although 105,000,000 uunds more than last year will ag gregate in value onlf about the same; s last year’s crop according to the Government estimate of 30 cents per' ound for that crop. While the quality averages low, the1 ield per acre is 110 pounds more ban last year’s production of 590 iounds. This was due largely to the' ilants being closer in the row and; uore leaves left per plant rather’ nan to the quality factor. There is .Iso some doubt as to the acreage ■s ocmpared with last year, which, reliminary figures show to be 99 percent. Wilson has the distinct lead in the 24.70 as compared with lnnt j nsd*ir verage of (31.04' per hundred .-eight. Winston Salefn and Green ilel each sold between nine and ten nilllon pounds wit haverages res pectively of (18.28 and (23.32 per undred pounds.
