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

borrowing in anticipation of the
paycheck which is duo in Septem

The couple was married Junuary
28, 1915.
Hamilton, 45-year-old attorney,
became chairman of the republican
nutlonal committee in June, 193(i,
after the Cleveland convention,
which nominated Alf M. Lamlon,
then governor of Kansas, for presi

Movement From Freezers
Faster Than Ever, Says
Manager of Co-Op.
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.

New System Would Place
Heavier Share of Cost
on Roseburg, Void
Bond Election.
Prospects are not good for
PWA cooperation in tho proposed
school building program recently
authorized at a special election by
Roseburg taxpayers, tho school
hoard reported today. 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. The present sys
tem for projects requires the spon
sor to finance 100 per cent of-the
entire program, but tho PWA re
pays the -cost of all relief labor
used, plus 15 per cent of the re
lief labor cost;
Under this system the noseburg
school district would he unable to
proceed under authority given by
the voters. Tho election resulted
iu uutborl.atlon for bonds In the
sum of 54,000, contingent on co
operation of the PWA by a grant
of $44,000. .
U. 6. Would Pay Less
. .;The system of credit for. reliof.
labor, plus 15 per cont; "would not
provide more than $25,000 or $30,
000 federal contribution, it is be
lieved, although no definite esti
mate has been made. 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.

use the $08,000 in the reconstruc
