Oregon, under tne Act 01 nOHKIll HO. OHE . - SHARPERS AND TIlEIR PREY. . That pawnbrokers and other money lenders in Portland are "approaching ex-service men with tenders of ready money in ex change for an assignment of their bonus claims" under the new war veterans' said aid act, is a statement made by Henry Boyd, president of Post 1 of the American Legion, says the Portland Sunday Journal. . ' Mr Boyd relates one instance in which an ex-service man has already assigned his claim to a Portland pawnbroker in exchange for but 50 per cent of its value. It was in an effort to Pvent sharpers from preying upon ex-service men that Mr. Boyd laid the facts before Governor Olcott and Secretary of State Kozer, Thursday, and urged them, as members of the state aid board, to promulgate a rule whereby the commission would refuse to recog nize any assignments of bonus claims. Here is confirmation of the contention of the Journal that members of the American Legion would be steadfast in insisting that the law should be administered in a way to uphold the integ rity of the act and in a manner to uphold the honor of the Legion. President Boyd is leading the way, and it will be found that his hand will be upheld by the mass of Legion membership. Meanwhile, public sentiment will give short thrift to cormor ants who seek to prey upon the service men or to debauch and de moralize a law that was passed in a sacred cause and under mo tives of the highest patriotism. Service men and others should make public the proposals of these birds of prey, and nip in the bud all the practices for a cunning and parasitical abuse of the bonus law. The bonus act is the personification of a people's gratitude. Society has no parasites more degraded than those men who would make merchandise and coin disgusting dividends out of a people's honorable effort to recognize the young men who suffered and sacrificed. . 0 " OVERDOING CONSERVATION. . One of the most popular movements in this country was that for the conservation of resources. Back in President Roosevelt's term it was recognized that the American people had scattered their boundless wealth with spendthrift hands. They had slaught ered their forests with wasteful cutting, given away valuable lands for a song, etc. It was a fine and noble movement to stop this nrodicalitv. Yet it has often seemed as if the people had be come so afraid that someone would make a dollar, that they had , tied up many resources so no one could touch them. Take the case of Alaska. Here is a rich reserve of natural resources. But the people became so fearful that monopolists would get hold of these resources, that they have locked them up under government control. They there were 36,400 people in Alaska in 1910, the number had de creased to 27,883 in 1920. Of the 98 per cent belong to the government and only two per cent to private parties. People have not been willing to go up there to develop the country, because of 1J 1 . .... . . 0 4V wouiu matte Buiiie uiuiiey. ov 111c and products it might have. Such resources should be handled judiciously, so that monopo lists would not make exorbitant profits. But people will not pu funds into development, unless there is some return for enterprise and risk. The same condition exists in regard to natural resources in various states of the union. The people do not want their wealth squandered, but they want it developed so the present generation can have some good out of it. 0 The Cranford Club, of Cranford, Rhode Island, seems to have the right idea about promoting neatness. It has hired a man to pick up the litter in the streets. of houses to keep their yards and ' ' money to pay the cost of keeping erty in good order. A tenant disorderly place should be solicited by someone to keep it cleaned up. It is for the real estate owner's Interest to nttend to that, but some fail to do it. If the civic matter and offer prizes for the grounds, and urge those who keep disorderly places to co-operato a big improvement could be honies. , Some people have peculiar woman at Stayton, Oregon, swallowed a jack knife, five inches long with the, blade open. She concealed weapons. o An Ulinoisan regained his sanity when he had all his teeth pulled, but it is not believed having a tooth pulled will ever become a popular craze. o The soviet government is "the strongest in Europe,'' says Washington Vanderlip, thus confirming the suspicion that it needs a disinfectant. 0 The idea, it seems, is for Mr. Dempsey to land in such a way as to make Mr. Carpentier regret the day he landed. 0 The comet's tail failed to sweep the earth Sunday though the earth needed a cleaning in several spots. 0 Original magazine artists about now will begin putting pic tures of bathing girls on magazine covers. o None so blind as those who try to see through a stone wall. 0 A new dress makes a new woman. burly .$4.00 . 2.00 . -t0 . 2.00 17, 120. 1 th. nost ofllo at Kose- juarcu -.

Good Price For Douglas Heifer Some people still believe that the world is flat; others that it does not pay to advertise; others that money spent on education is wasted; some farmers and stockmen take the attitude that It does not pay to Im prove the breed of livestock. This Is not a general rule, however. In these Umtis. Among our local stockmen who believe in Improving the breed of their herds is Kmery T. Smith, who has proof positive that this practice pays. For several vears .Mr. Smith has been raising high class Jersey stock, and his herd has produced some fine specimens of this breed. At a recent Jersey sale one of Mr. Smith's heifers sold for tbOO. This animal has the poetical name of liuttercun of Sliver Hills. At the same stock show her daugh ter.

OTHERS SPLINTERED Discs of Other Wood, or of Marble llrokeil and Splintered I'litlcr Hoary 111mm, liut Myrtle ileiiialiia ltuct. (News-Review Washington Bureau.) WASHINGTON, Juue 27. Speak er Glllett and house members who preside over the committee of tat whole hare at lust found something which, will not crumble into frag ments under the powerful blows of the house gavel. The newly discovered treasure i; nothing less than a disc of hard wood from an Oregon forest the heart ol a Coos Bay myrtle tree. It was presented to Representa tive McArthur when he was speaker of the Oregon legislature In 1909 af ter he had smashed a score of marble slabs and oak blocks and was used during the latter part of that session and also during Mr. McArthur's sec ond term as speaker in 1913. It was presented by a Coos county, friend who also guve Mr. McArthur a beau tiful gavel of the same material. A few days ago when Mr. McAr thur was presiding over the house he wielded the gavel with such force as to split the walnut pounding block into a dozen pieces. He immediately thought- of the Oregon myrtle disc which was reposing in a bookcase at his Washington residence and on the following day presented It to Speaker Glllett. The speaker and several temporarily presiding officers have delivered countless sledge hammer blows upon the face of the disc with out making a dent and its resonant qualities are superior to ordinary wood or marble. Breaking and splintering the pounding boards and blocks'on the speaker's desk has become a habit with the presiding officers of the house, hut It looks as though the Coos Bay myrtle product has them guessing. Mr. McArthur says he hates to part with the disc, but feels that it was serving no useful pur nose until recentlv pressed into ser vice. His gavel, affectionately known as "Lizzie." is dearer to his heart than the disc and he wouldn't part who it for love or money. Father Attempts Take Own Life MYRTLE POINT. Ore., June 25. Bruno Lang-, rancher, attempted t o commit suicide at Myrtle Point dur ing the night while his wife was giv ing birth to a child at their farm home outside the city. Lang is in the hospital and may die as the re sult of losing blood from a deep gash he cut In his wrist with a razor. After calling a doctor after mid night to attend his wife Lang sud denly disappeared. The mystery cre ated a good deal of excitement and Lang was found about 0 o'clock this morning. Lang was taken to the Pemberton hospital. He had lost so much blood it Is questionable whether or not he will survive, though he has some chance. Once he regained conscious ness, but not sufficiently to talk of the attempted suicide. Apparently Lang had Inflicted the wound on himself shortly after leav ing the doctor's office. It was be lieved that he had lain in the brush all night. This morning Mrs. Lang had not vet been informed of the plight of 1.,.- V..l 1 11, -1 iiunutlliu. Goodrich Tire Service. A.

Corn Is beginning to grow nicely now and prunes, pears and, apples are coming strong.
