Ocean Grove is a New Jersey beach resort peopled by iome 40,000 residents during- the summer months, Jt is in ;tie ntrth temperate zone, but there's something about the air there that isn't temperate .at For instance, there was a -noiinds the oilier day to the effect that a bather had donned 3us swimming clothes, put on his street suit over them and Igone to the beach whore he disrobed without even going first tb a bathhouse. Modesty must have wept for this! J An iceman appeared on the streets there one day with tjut an outer shirt. He had on one of those barbarous "sweat jsfhirta" which most likely the devil personally prompted some jitlle hands to invent. Well, the law caught him, all right! , ' Ocean Grove, New Jersey, is a ' place wjicre'. messenger ;boys have to push their bicycles through the streets on Sun--days. To ride them would be in Ocean Grove an pJ'feijKo leomparablc to stabbing the mayor in. Chicago. And as for Iihding in automobiles on Sunday well, just as sure as you ;Jo Satan will bob right up' out of the back seat somewhere Jilnd tote you away. ' ' ,' Ocean Grove! Saddled by a charter decades old, and tiges behind the times. But more important than the chnr Iter is the camp meeting group that rules under this yellow ed document. Can't it bo tihown to ' them somehow that "dinrity is one of the real essentials-of Christianity? Can't it be shown that intolerance kills itself with its own poisoij ? V - If jt can't, let us weep for Ocean Grove. And hope that Jnobody slips on a banana peel' there on Sundny. Such a .breach of moral tone might give somebody a laugh. :; o - "Approximately two-thirds of the 200,349 miles of high Viiy.pn the federal aid system have been improved. Accord ling to 1925 figures, the total cost to the federal government Ho .improve one mile of highway averaged $9850.. This Jnioans that in the fiscal year of 1927, 1928 and 1929 an ad ditioual 22,500 miles of road should be added to the system. ll the states continue to improve' roads on the federal aid Isystem at their own expense as they have done in the past, Ithey will, during that period, add another 30,000 miles, co Jfliat at the close of 1929 we should have about 50,000 more ' jmiles of improved roads. At the ..most, it should not take more than five years to improve all'the roads on the system." .The above statement of the American Automobile associu Itioi'i indicates the extent of federal road progress, connect JCliB road systems within the slates to make up a national Jijystem. , It was the aim when the revised federal aid high way act became effective five years' ago to bring the system "to completion in about ten years. If state co-operation con Itinues, the aim will be reali'.ed. :: o ... . J American diplomats and statesmen mixing in foreign lafi'airs have done much to spread the prestige of these Unit "Vd States, but the gospel of Americanism, whatever that is, '"has best been propagated by gum shoe salesmen. Recent " news that the first' American soda fountain in Czscho-Slova-kia'had been opened in the city of Prague was therefore im "portant, whether you believe it or not. Visit any of the high ways and byways on this globe,' and you will find in sod houses, igloos, and palm leaf huts, surprisingly largo num .. hers of American phonographs, sewing machines, safety razors, jack knives, movies, fountain pens, cosmetics, type writors, and patent medicines. Every one of those .articles got there through the efforts of an American drummer, 'i hey, as much as the diplomats, have put the United States ....hi the forefront of world esteem. ' o . .,,., When the baseball season opened the Chicago Cubs were " ' hailed most generally as a crowd of misfits. They might win ' a game now and then, the majority of sport scribes conced- cd, but nothing very good could come of this outfit. Now - the Cubs are out in the lead and fighting like the very blazes ,to keep it. They stand an excellent chance of taking the flag '".'and meeting the New York Yankees iii the world series. An' the Cubs have no Kutlis or Gelirigs either. When a fair ball ' club catches the old fighting fire, great things result. And - that seems to be what the Cubs have caught, aided by Man- ugpr Joe McCarthy and led by one good pitcher, Charley Root. Jt seems to be jolly pennant weather when misfits get together. Writers are discussing various jobs for Coolidge after - his term ends. It is unreliably reported that several movie .firms have offered him handsome contracts to play we.st- Z cr.ns. ; - The v:r in China has interfered with production of - frozen uggs and dried eggs.

The judge shouted a warning to Saunders from his canoe, and two of the swimmers echoed his cry. Buke, driving ahead at full speed, didn't seem to hear them. Jack, seeing the Indian, also lifted his voice in warning.' Stooping, Hatchet picked up a rock. Saunders was now close to the bare face of the great ledgo that rose straight up from the water.

Organization Formed Following the decision to create a pool it was decided to perfect tho organization.

Mr. Norton takes exception to the statements made and writes uh fol- j(,WH August 19, 1927. AU,iutaii uuU i portland Oreeoul .. ... ' uear sirs: An article wits released by you on August 17lli in legard to the canning situation. This is so far from the truth that we take excep tion to it. Thu story would have bee n all right in Fo bt ua r y or March but at this lute date it .would look as though an organization such us yours would have Informa tion which coVers the sit tuition accurately. While the situation was serious in the beginning of the year the packers have cut- tho acreuKti lietfvy, for Instance the tomato acreage of 1U27 is 250,990, in it ti arnn wu qci r.nn in j 1995 the acreage was 349,930. The corn acreage Hi iu7 Is 211,440, in llti, 311.U4U, in 1915, 393,910. The peak pack of the country has been practically finished and shows it shortage of approximately six million cases less Uiun last year. In regard to com the pros pecLs are the lowest in 26 years, and tho tomato and also the corn crop uro depending ou whether there is an early frost. A frost in the middle east around the 15th of September would cut these crops thirty to rorty per cent on a very low acreage Those fig ures are furnished by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, and It would look to us as though you people would have this informa tion available before broadcasting an article such as you did.

MYSTERY METAL TESTS ARE TO BE CONTINUED (Continued from page 1.) tion but that southern Oregon will bo developed in a remarkable man ner if the presence of tin or other valuable mineral is proven, and wo hope to be able to establish the l';ict one way or another in a very dtCnlt.e manner soon." Laboratory Authorized Mr. Spry, ex-governor of Utah, now commissioner of the general land office at Washington, D. C, came to Oregon ou his regular trip of inspection of government: laud )ffices. He became interested in the white metal situation and in company with Mr. Boyer made a trip to southern Oregon for two lays, and at Grunts Pass and Can-y-ouviilo witnessed tests in whidi metal was extracted from various types of rock, will to metal being found in nearly every tos;. He was well pleasod with the vork already done by tho men oi the interior department and auth orized the purchase of equipment necessary for the establishment of i government laboratory where the work may be carriod on to a Jefinite conclusion. W. S. Buyer, district, inspector, who has been very nctlvo in tho investigations concerning the 'met al, is today ordering tho equip ment necesary to complete the lests. Mr. Boyer is perhaps one of me. best informed men in the country on tho soul horn .Oregon; situation and he is confident that he presence of metal in the rock, Heretofore deemed to be of no value, will be definitely proven. "1 am satisfied from the tests I nave made that there does exist a tvhite metal that Is in large quan tities. In much of tho rock of .lose- nhinn nnd Hontrlns cniinlffs" Mr."' Boyer insisted. "While nemo per i 5ons have tried to dUcredit this 1 metal 1 nm positive that v can prove positively that too mcMl is there and can be extracted and w. are now working in an of fort lo establish this proof. Our olnctiic furnace is being rebuilt and we hope it will enable us to watch the rock as the metal is extraced." Commissioner Spry has author ized a thorough investigation of the situation and tho mineral In spectors will remain at work until definite proof of the mineral is es tablished.
