Yesterday we spent our dollars; today we spend { grandchildren’s ehtire bank accounts, | Here is a typical contrast: In the °50's Oregon pioneers built a wagon road for 30 on the upper Columbia, over and around some rocky buttes between Hood river The Dalles. That 30 miles of road cost $5,000 and ‘except for its sharp curves steep pitches, it is as good a road today as many a new highway. Right now Oregon is opening a new highway along the upper Columbia. The cost less than seven miles of this boulevard, that parallels the old wagon road, will be 600,000. The difference between 30 miles for $5,000 and six and a half miles for $600,000 s the difference between the nation of today and yesterday. | There is, however, another difference. That $5,000 the old road cost was all it 3 this $600,000 is but the start, for bonds are issued bearing 6 per cent interest without paying a cent on the cost of the highway, the state will pay $36,000 interest on this bit of road. is a nice road, a beautiful road. It opened a new empire. It probably was hon- ly built, and will render many a speeding tourist happy for as much as 12 min- but nevertheless it is only six miles and it costs $36,000 a year; or more than times as much as the 30-mile road did for its entire life. by TT F 7 E : i t t 3 f if jt Tes [ti i i H F z ie dear Miss Grey, you have the on what I want to know, I # because for years I've wished} if it is really, truly so, or | yarn that they have spun, “two can live as cheap as one.” VI tried it out a while ago, but yet cannot say I know; for what [ 2 on shows and booze, I lost on | hats and shoes, and every I save a roll, I blow it in for and coal. | ly money always seems to roam, | Never wants to stay at home;:| snd when my money all is spent, I) inot figure where it went, #0 all) seems I do today, is blow it in a) it way. whether it is false or #0, something else I'd like to ; for | was always pretty thick ‘working out arithmetic; the pres- problem I must do, is “four can as cheap as two.” that’s a tough one, T admit, "t believe it's true a bit; if four live as cheap as two, and two cheap as one gin do, the proposi- seems to/fun, that “four can fas cheap as one.” is it likely, furthermore, that tht can live ag cheap as four; but | Me close the question here, with @ little word of cheer—I dp not We to calculate, “can sixteen live cheap as eight?"

Mexico is as quiet as a successful man. mere than all the sous of men te this date have been able te da; the mereffact thal as president of Mexico he announces sach a pol fey as a state program is potent for world progress. In the rest of the world, aside from Russia that is still insane, civilization has about concluded that private development of nat- ural resources is the proper sys tem, and only when private en- terprise breaks down do govern- ments take hold. All this has nothing to do with socialism, with the traditions of anarchy, with single tax, er “re- form.” The program of Obregon is to retain for the people the natural treasure of the country, and to have the government ad- minister this treasure for the com- mon weal. The other idea is to dispose of this treasure trove to private enterprise and let “busi ness” do the job. Of course, governments have monkeyed with various jobs and have sometimes succeeded and sometimes have failed. Uncle Sam did right well with the Panama canal, but he fizaled with the merchant marine and with the railroads. Had Uncle Sam from the beginning been in the rall- road business, and had he kept all the lands and mines and forests and harbors and townsites and city terminals that ¢he railreedés were given for their privale ma perhaps Uncle Sam weuld have succeeded better in showing ao profit from transportation. And it does seem sort of funny, when you come to think of it, that Uncle Sam today hes to pay $100,000 for a quarter of an acro of land on which to build a post office, when a generation age he was giving away tens of thou- sands of aeres of such land, Leaving politics aside there are two theories of communal develop ment; Obregon is trying out one; the rest of the world the other; what happens in Mexico will be of vital importance to the world a thousand years hence, There bave been real demoe racies on earth but they perished. ‘There have been real communes where all the real property was kept in the name of the state and given to the people as they needed it; ancient Israel redivid- ed the land every 99 years and many of the early states had no such thing as private property, especially private ownership of land.

And for a whole waffles, waffles that start the day off right. For waffle success every time, use the recipe below:— - e m FAIRCO WAFFLES ~ year she had failed. 234 cups flour 3 134 teaspoons salt 2 eggs P 3 5 teaspoons baking powder 2 cupe milk 4 tablespoons melted FAIRCO Eleanor mixed the waffle batter, and worried, and a peak Sift four, baking powder and salt together. Add milk, well-beaten eggs and FAIRCO. Miz well. Bake on a hot, greased waffle iron. Serve with butter and sirup. All measurements are level puckered her brow for the thousandth time. But it was just the same old story—she could not bear to carry them into the breakfast room where her husband sat waiting. FAIRCO is a glistening white fat of creamy consistency. Wholly vegetable, it has no odor or flavor of its own, but how it does bring out and develop the flavor of everything for which it is used! It does not absorb food flavors or odors, and so may be strained and used over and over again. The kitchen remains free from smoke, because FAIRCO does not smoke at the usual frying tempera- tures. “Don’t you 4worry,” he comforted her, “You're a miracle at pies!” “But why can’t I make waffles?” she stormed to herself. Everything else was as easy as counting one two three. The Way Out Waffles are sometimes failures because there is too little fat in the batter. This lack of shortening makes them tough and flabby instead of crisp and tender. Again, the waffle irons are not sufficiently greased with a pure, sweet fat to prevent the waffles from sticking to them and become blackened in spots before they are done in the middle. FAIRCO guarantees crisp and tender golden brown Even the can in which FAIRCO comes is different—a sanitary container with a clean friction cover which can be removed and replaced at will without using a can opener. Order FAIRCO today and make the best thing you cook! everything you cook 4
