At present we have three congressional districts as follows: Multnomah county, all counties west of the Cascade mountains except Multnomah, and ull counties east of the Cas cades. The division Is a fairly reasonable and natural one. The Interests Qf western Oregon citi zens are somewhat different from the Interests and needs of those east of the mountains, and the metropolitan aron of Mult nomah has even a different set of problems. The great fault with tho dis tricting that has been in force many years - though It could not easily be helped -lies in the fact that lite tll'sl, or western Oregon district Is so large and so well populated throughout that the task of running for office In the district Is a hard one- and, in cldentally, an undertaking that requires considerable money. To campaign over it a candidate must travel the entire north and south distance of tin- state and a considerable distance east and west. As has been pointed out In this column before, a reasonable di vision for a fourth district would be to divide the large first dis tilid (western Orogoni some where near the middle north and south, leaving the northern and Columbia river counties of the present district in one district, and putting southern Oregon in hi the new district, nils piau won again observe the dllference In Interests of the southwestern portion of Oregon from the northwestern portion. II is not presumed to set mil !... Inst where the east and west line should be. 1'opulation ( would be an Important factor in such a decision. I Ull the politicians are busy on the problem while I be rest of us take little inlciosl. We will wail long and loud alter the d I Is done but we sit by like dolts While It II Is In the doing. Klchard Nouhcrgcr, the Orson j Welles or the Oregon legislature, ! has come forward with a redis Iricting bill that Is truely a , honey- politically. If the press; reports concerning it are correct nnd it Impiions that both the , Associated Press and I'nlted ; Press stories agree on nils mini - Josephine '! 'arkMin ciiun lies are eliminated (nun the stale entirely. As this Is written a copy of the printed bill Is not yet i.v.-iilahlc. It may be assumed, however, that the two couiuics WILL lie put back In the state although from the distribution of the other counties it Is any- one's guess as to whnt district they will be in. Briefly, the Neu borgrr if districting plan Is this: City of Portland Population 1"' tween Cascade and Coast ranges ..population east of Cascade range -population wesi oi i u.im range plus Mullnomah outside oi Pol l land. Counly Hues tire Ig nored o far as Lane and Kotig- las are concerned. The iKilllical plot ol the Ore pin Orson Is that the Oregon coast counties nil! ofllmes demo cratichence there would lie a demociallc representative In congress from Oregon. That's It. No matter how absurd It would be to make a narrow string of counties 450 miles long and U0 miles wide Into a new dis trictthat is the scheme. Folks here In Douglas should write Senator C. W. Clark and Repre sentatives Bob Gilo and Carl Hill about this reapportioning nrnhlpm. Those men would doubtless amircclato getting some advice from the home folks not only on this but concern ing other legislative problems as well. Editorials on News (Continued from page 1.) Hitler by what has been going on. MEANWHILE from London r'Mmoe tills rllKn.'itph "Britain's armed services have been ordered to close ranks in preparation to meet an all-out Invasion attempt against these Is lands In the spring. 'The army guarding these shores the most powerful force ever assembled by Britain al ready Is carrying out dress re hearsals to meet the anticipated blow." rrilE British are not deceived by the present period of rela tive calm, knowing by all the rules of probability that It must be the lull that precedes the storm. N the American (economic) front, Pun & Bradstrect re ports vigorous buying activity among wholesalers and manulac- lurers during the past week, add ing: "Producers frequently re ported orders In excess of cur rent production, although opera- lions were being pushed to new record high levels." IN peacetime, that would he the best of all news, Indicating in creased consumer buying power with resulting wider distribution among all the people of the bene fits of an advancing civilization. NOW it causes APPREHEN SION rather than Joy, leading to the fear that too much produc-1 lion of consumer goods miv I hamper the production of vitally needed weapons of war. .Such Is I lie disruptive effect of war upon the normal processes of human living. Down-Gruding Causes Shown Cream Producers Nearly 8,(100 farm calls were made by cream graders working the stale department of agricul ture's phase of the Oregon dairy products quality Improvement urogram in 1(110, reports A. W. Melzger, foods and dairies divi sion chief. Karni calls were made to those producers whose cream did mil meet the highest grade in order to help I hem obtain a higher price lor the raw product. In son, localities second grade cream brought as much as five ccnls per pound hullei'tat less than premium cre.-im. In other words, premium cream is worth approximately SI Ml more for each lOgallon can of cream testing about -1(1 per cent hutlcnat. Main causes for grading down cream are mailers which the producer generally can remedy without any material financial out lay. Two of these causes are lailure to see that separator is proiierlv cleaned and failure to ;c.iol cream immediately after j milking. Also, in many cases .warm cream is separated Into a can miilfiining cream which has already been cooled. Mother of A. L.

OUT OUR WAY Wider Trade For Oregon's Products Purpose of Bill SALEM, Jan. 27. (Al')-A measure designed to oxpanff"fiic market for Oregon's agricultural products by improving their qual ify has been prepared by the ag ricultural sub-committee of Gov ernor Spraguo's Oregon ecomonlc council for Introduction in the legislature. Participation by any commod ity group would lie voluntary, ttte group to come under the act only when GO per cent of the growers petition to do so. If the growers of any one prod net asked to come tinder the law, they would he taxed up to two per cent on their products. Com mittees would supervise the mar keting of each commodity, giving slate seals of quality to the best products. These seals, Hie committee said, would increase the 'side of the commodities by assuring the pur chaser he is getting the best prod ucts of Oregon. "This would not only give rec ognition to highest quality but would pnl the slate of Oregon di rectly behind an aggressive at tempt to broaden the agrictil. tural market for Oregon prod ucts and to Increase the income of the agricultural producers of Oregon," the committee said. The marketing committees al so would have control over sales promotion, which would include advertising over the nation. Argentine Will Restrict Pear Shipments to U. S. WASHINGTON. Jan. 27. (API The agriculliire department has received notice that the Argentine government would restrict ship ments of pears to the United Slales to .100,0011 boxes during the current season ending April I. Above Uliri.OOO boxes were ex ported to this country last season. tiflicials said that without this limitation by the Argentine gov ernment, shipments might have been much greater 111. in .'100,000 boxes. A large pail ol Argentine's markets tor pears have been clos ed becaus ol olh Kuropcan war. Commenting on the export limi tation, the Argentine department said: "This action on the part of the 'Argentine government seems cer tain lo conl lilmle strongly to the stabilization of the pear market in the I'nlted Slates during the next-few months and will, there lore, le a mutual benefit to the pe.u glowers in both countries." Hen: With Spectacles Ouit Pecking Each Other TAMPA, Via. iAP Poullry i man Lawrence P. Harlow's hens ! wear red opaque glass spectacles on their beaks lo keep them Iroin tnlui ing each other. The chickens couldn't get exer cise any other way so they start ed fighting. Several were pocked to deal It, Harlow said. So he devised the spectacles, which prohibit (orward vision but do not hamper side vision. The hens soon got used to wearing the glasses and lived peacefully together. Roosters were heller behaved Ih. in the hens, and didn't have to wear glasses.

(AP) A resolution adopted by the Na tional Woolgrowers association charged reports "emanating from Washington" hinted at unwar ranted advances In woo! prices due to the national preparedness program. "Tho charge that wool prices are now out of line Is indefens ible and represents an unfor tunate effort to obtain political notoriety at the expense .of an important part of our agricul tural industry," said the resolu tion, adding that the sheep Indus try was ready "to make any needed sacrifice to achieve the great purposes for which the na tion now labors." Other resolutions requested tho government to use the years 1921-30 instead of 1909-14) as bases for parity prices on wool; reaffirmed confidence In "the ef ficiency of a protective tariff," and charged the Wagner labor re lations act was "an Ill-concealed attempt to destroy the ownership of property."

SUZANNE THREATENS CHAPTER XV T'MnM.i niiai- that vnirilplv unsatisfactory visit, Martha Marshall rinclried that from now on she would take the train to camp. She would engage a room in the little hotel In town every week-end, and spend Saturday nights and Sundays with Bill. That would cost a great deal. Wrinkling her brow over the problem, she came to the conclu sion that the only way to swing it was to give up tnc aparime.u. "I dnn't hood a whole three- room apartment to myself ar.y- way. It s JUSI a lot ot cleaning, llnht hlllc nhnnp bills, and grief." She would find a room, live the way she naa uvea Deiore she married Bill. The only prob lem was Butch. She hated the thought of boarding him out in the country, yet that was the only solution. The night she drove him out to the farm, she felt like a trai tor. Butch regarded her with .nn mniii.nfnl ovps. For all her admonishing to "be a good dog," Butch nowiea aismany wneu me man put him in the back yard runway. He thrust his nose through the wire lencing Him continued to wall as Martha walked to the car. "The family's breaking up," she murmured sadly. "First Bill, now Butch." Packing the furniture for stor age was a wrench, too. A nvrtvpfl. and he stuck things expertly into bar rels; put the mattress into an enormous carton; sheeted the sofa and chairs. He had no pa tience for the way sho dawdled over the little things. The clock from Bill's jewelry store; the pictures he had selected; the lamp that had rjcen a wcuuing present. Once she retired into a closet to cry. The man grunt ed. "Women!" The room she found, at tno other end of town, was close to Air Transport. The landlady was a comfortably stout matron who assured her there was "continu ous hot water and a refined at mosphere." But she was puzzled by the fact that Mrs. Marshall wore a wedding ring and had no husband. "He's in the army," said Mar tha. "Oh." Martha told Paul in the office, "The refined atmosphere ap pears to moan positively no vis itors, except in the downstairs parlor. The parlor has a com plete gallery of Mrs. Larkln's en tiro family, including her deceas ed husband. He had handlebar mustaches. "Cheerful." said Paul. "What- over gave you this crazzy no tion?" . . "Train fare to camp, and Ho tel tariff for week-ends." she an swered. "On what Air Transport pays mo, it takes close figuring." "I sec." She had been living in Mrs. Larkln's house nearly a week, and had finally mastered the nf alnnnitlS between tllO lumps In tho ancient bed, the day she met Suzanne Decker as she walked homo. Suzanne was exquisite, as al ways. Sno wore a violet velvet turban, and a slim coat witn a r..int winlnt oast. There was a lovely cascading collar of blue fox, into which nor emit was buried against the wind. "Going to pass me by?" Mar Ilia greeted her. "It's boon months since I've seen you!" Suzanne stopped, her eyes sud denly guarded. "Hello." "That s a stunning ouuii, Martha said. "You make me feel likn ininr straight home and dropping this thing I'm wearing right tnto tne asn can. in tone, there was no indication that sho remembered the pain ful scene between them, there in tho old apartment. But Suzanne was remember ing. Her eyes wore still guard ed, and she v.atched Martha tiar- nulv as sho said. "I played bridge with Madge Willis. She told me about the country ruin dance." Martha stiffened. "It was love ly. Whv didn't you come?" "Because Paul didn't ask me." Suzanne said bluntly. "Ho had other fish to fry- Look here, you weren't Tooling Madge any, or Mary Grace, either. They know what's been going on. After you told mo you wouldn't see Paul any more! You wore so naive, so Innocently surprised when I lint It up to you . . . Oh, you Just couldn't believe Paul was In love with you. and you never en couraged him! But you'iv still running around with him!" In sick dismay, Martha realiz ed that the same, uncontrollable excltment was shaking Suzanne again. People wvre looking back, In the w liner twilight. Suaniie rtihlied on. "Tliviv'a one thing you forgot! I said someone might tell Bill. Sup pose I drive up to camp myself you took Paul with you, I notice, when you went Tho dripwalk under Martha's feet seemed suddenly less solid than.before. Her heart missed a beat. It liasnea tnrougn net mlnri that ho had lied to Bill about the very country club dance which most iniuriateu ou zanne. "Suzanne, you wouldn't do a cheap trick like that! You can't do it! To go out of your way to ronoat fatso eossll) to Upset Bill for no reason" "For a very good reason, said cnlrllv She turned sud denly. "Think it over, Martha. I mean it." Then sne was warn ing rapidly away, her slim back very straight. In her room at Mrs. Larkln's, Martha threw herself on the bed and wondered bitterly how she could stop Suzanne from go ing to camp andVpouring garbled gossip into Bill's ears. It would be such a sickening blow to Bill! He had never dreamed there was anything between his wife and his best friend. And there wasn't, Martha thought, tossing restlessly. There wasn't a thing except that Paul did love her. But his love was his own business. He kept it under control, never once had he tried to tell her, or kiss her, or in any way at all depart from the self assumed role of brotherly com panion. She know, lying there, that if any of this had come up while Bill was at home, he would have -nai-nrl with lailffhtor. He WOUld- n't have believed a word of it. But while he was away, while he scarcely ever saw her and had .inihinir hut letters and brief visits to depend on, it was all too likely that any mani-ious word might sow the seed of sus picion. Night after night, he was confined to tho camp. Know ing that Martha was free to do as she pleased knowing that Paul saw her every day at the of fice . . . "What can I do to stop Su zanne? What can I do?" Sudtlenly she sat bolt upright. "Paul could stop her! I'll toll Paul first thine in the morn- 111111" Sho felt better, having reach ed that decision: She was brush ing her hair for bed, tho heavy load of dread somewnat ugnicr now, when someone banged on her door. "What is it?" "Mivi Marshall?" That was her landlady's voice. "A telegram just came for you." Martha throw the door open. Had something happened to Bill? Her fingers trembled as she ripped the envelope. Sho stared down at the yellow mess age while her landlady slood there, asking hopefully, "Any thing wrong?" Tho wire was not from Bill. It was from Eugene, her brother-in-law. And It said, "HELEN JN HOSPITAL CRITICALLY ILL. CAN YOU COME RIGHT AWAY?" (To bo continued! KRNR Mutual Broadcasting Syatem 1500 Kilocycle!

A. EDWARDS Epistles, or letters, usually portray the author's poise, af fection and attitude toward life. Letters, in the early church, wore frequently writ ten to introduce a Christian who came as a stranger to a local church society. Corinth, in that day, was considered a vory Immoral city, but Corin thian Christians transformed by the holy spirit, becaim nanny, welcome letters to their community. BecomiiiR Christians, drunkards became sober, wife-healers became senile and their homo com pared to former days, were as little corners of heaven. These genuine noble Christians were real, living epistles of their Master, and as such Introduc ed Christ like living t.i their lagan friends. What ot our world today? Does it l.o nepil and patiently wait fir such manifestations of Christllko ness? Could there h a great er challenge for all chinch members than to live so near to God that all wha come in touch wlih them, could road their lives as messages of the Christ of God? That as they go about many "askj and amid many friends they might Interpret God sincerely and honestly uno all. Amen.
