HOSE are big words, dealing in big subjects and with big sums, and so, unless we take the time to go over them carefully, they are apt to go over our heads. Hut what they mean is this: The government is DRAWING AHEAD on its paycheck. It is really worse than that, for the government isn't merely draw ing ahead on its NEXT paycheck, : which is due in June. It is skip ping clear over that one, and is borrowing in anticipation of the paycheck which is duo in Septem ber.

While slorago holdings' of tur keys are largeu than in any re cent year, birds are moving out of freezers faster than ever be fore, according to J. C. Loedy, manager of the Oregon Turkey Co operatives, who Is spending a few days In Ilosehurg. Mr. Leedy, for mer Douglas county agricultural agent, states that there were 40 million pounds of turkeys In stor age February 1. Three million pounds moved out of storage in February, while the March inove mnnt of seven million pounds was three times greater (ban for the same period of time in any for mer year. The rate of movement of stor age birds held by the Northwest ern Turkey Growers association, however, has been even better than the general average, as the organization has moved 2,750,000 pounds out of the four million pounds in storage February 1. This, Mr. Loedy states, is believed to be due to tho fact that the coope rative is the only agency that has continued an advertising campaign outside the marketing period. During I ho past month, he re ports, the price has advanced enough to pay Interest charges and storage costs. The rnte of movement of birds out of freezers 1b expected to slow down considerably as a result of the marketing pf breeder liens in Oregon and California. Efforts ,will be made, however, to continue- the reduction of storage stocks, ns a large holdover will depress the market for the coming season, It Is feared.

PWASGHDOL GRANTCHANGE IS New System Would Place Heavier Share of Cost on Roseburg, Void Bond Election.

Word from PWA headquarters at Washington indicates that whllo no action has yet been taken upon the district's application for a grant of' $44,000, the project Is being considered up on tho new system of aid offered by . the PWA.

However, the material cost, It is believed, would amount to at least one-half the to tal expense, while the type of work to be done would require n large percentage of skilled labor not available from relief rolls. - Oregon congressmen, it Is stal ed, are still working with the WPA in an effort to secure endorsement of the project on tho 45 per cent straight grant basis, but- pros pects of approval are not good, ac cording to word recoived.
