Meanwhile
Tho Japs report they're within
12 jnllcs of the Burma-India bor
der. This claim Is unconfirmed
by' our sitic, but the news from
down there has been none too re
assuring lately.
THE point is that this is world
war, with many fronts, and a
victory on ONE front doesn't
mean that tho WAR has been
.won. ' : ' ' :'
IVON'T draw wrong conclusions
II from the way the Germans
are surrendering in Tunisia. Re
cent dispatches tell us they're
fighting coolly, stubbornly and
effectively at Novorosslsk.
It's all over In Tunisia, and
reason-tells- them they mlghtias
well give up. It Isn't all over yet
in Jhe Kuban. Although the Rus
sians are pressing thorn hard,
they're getting In reinforcements
and still have n chance. So they
fight on.
It would be nice to be able to
beilcvo that the morale of the
German army Is breaking, but us
yet the OVER ALL signs don't
point . that way. The Germans
were decisively licked In Tunisia,
but their morale didn't break un
til AFTER the licking.
SWISS dispatches (reported via j
khc Moscow radio) say that
Guoring and Hlmmler have been
sent to Italy Gocring to reor-
ganizc the Italian army ami j
Hlrhmler to "reorganize" the !
Italian people. ' ,
Hlmmler is the brutal head of

V Reuters British news agen- i
cyl quotes the Budapest radio as
saying that telephone communi
cation between Bulgaria and Tur
key has been discontinued.
Keep your fingers crossed, but
this might be Important.
Bulgaria lies next-door to Eu
ropean Turkey. Turkey has bo-en
leaning steadily toward our side
ever since Russia stnpcd Hitler

One ot the gateways to the

GOOD YEAR FOR TURKEYS

western Turkey Growers cooperative. Salt Lake City, reported
here Tuesday. Mr. Beyers bases his prediction upon informa
tion gained at Washington, D, C, where he has spent consider
able time in recent months on behalf of western turkey grow
ers. The concern he heads is a central marketing agency for
a number of cooperative organizations of turkey raisers, in
cluding the Oregon Turkey Growers Cooperative, of which Mr.
Beyers was manager for a number of years. Because of his
long residence here and his part in the organization of the Ore
gon cooperative, which had its inception in Douglas county, he
is particularly interested in local prospects.
His contacts with Washington bureaus, he states, causes him
to believe there will be little, if any, change in the price ceiling
as it affects growers. New regulations may be issued govern
ing wholesale and retail profits,
ceiling price approximately the
This is welcome news, not only to turkey growers but to the
county as a whole, for the turkey industry is one of the princi
pal income producers. Profits
general stimulation of all types
as closely knit as the Umpqua
group cannot help but affect
a whole. Therefore, we can all join in pleasure over the pros
pects for a good year for turkey growers.
A very considerable increase in the volume of the turkey
crop for this year indicates that growers, too, are anticipating
profitable operation.
Current meat shortages are increasing consumer demand for
all poultry. . Freezer stocks of turkeys are at extremely low
level, Beyers states, and birds are moved into retail trade as
rapidly as received.
Incidentally, the Northwest Turkey Growers publish a maga
zine, Norbest Turkey News, from which we take the following
story, previously published in the Eastern Chronicle, New
Glasgow: '
A Dollar-a-Year man came down from 'Ottawa to show the
local farmers what they needed. He had never been on a farm
nnd was. shown a cow with a large udder. Being nn efficiency
expert he began asking questions.
"What are those things hanging down?" he asked.
The farmer told him the milk came from them.
"But why docB she need four? That is a waste effort."
The farmer smiled and took the Ottawa boy for a walk.
"One," he said, "is for milk, another for cream, the next is for
ice cream and the fourth for buttermilk."
"That's too many," said the Ottawa mnn. "I'll issue an
order freezing the cream, ice cream and buttermilk faucets,
nnd lenve the milk one. The cow can then concentrate on the
one, give more and eat less. What's the big animal over there?"
r- "That's a bull," replied the
thesauuitry." ' v '
'Til buy him." said the man
the civil service, "and shoot him. I was told
capital the more bull 1 could shoot the better."
a certain point, but when disaster
strikes and the TRUTH has to
come out, the home front reac
tion to Buch a policy can be
dangerous.

Ellsworth Heard
In Argument for
Grant Land Bill
By JOHN F- CRAMER
(Special Correspondent, The
Oregonian)
WASHINGTON, May 12.
United States Representative
Harris Ellsworth went before a
senate committee last week to
argue for a bill which would sub
stantially . increase the revenue
which southwestern Oregon coun
ties receive from Oregon and Cali
fornia grant lands.
The committee was the com
mittee on public lands and sur
veys. The bill was one whicn
Ellsworth himself Introduced
shortly after his arrival here In
January.
Some Lands Yield Less
Here is the situation:
Most of the O. & C. lands
lands originally granted to a
lailroad but later reclaimed by
Ihe government yield the ad
ioining counties 50 per cent of
the revenue from all timber sales.
In time, they will yield 75 per
cent.
However, an estimated 465000
acres yield nothing whatever.
These lands have always been
considered part of the grant. It
is only because of a technicality
that they contribute nothing to
'rom
Almost everybody's figuring
what thlngs'U be like after the
war. I talked about that today
with Jeb Crowell. Job-he's a
veteran of the last War-says:
"One thing's sure, Joe. Tho
boys this time won't return anil
find what wo camo back to."
Then he went on to mention
Prohibition . . . and I ought to
say right here that Jeb's a man
of moderation ... a glass of beer
or two is all he'll ever take. It
was the principle of the tiling
that bothered him.

the counties in which they lie.
Logging Wear Roads
Ellsworth's bill would put
them on the same basis as other
O. 0. lands.
In his statement to the com
mittee, Ellsworth pointed out
that more than three-fourths
of the O- & C. grants lie in his
congressional district; that mod
ern logging methods . had in
creased highway use and wear
and that other burdens had
been Imposed on the counties.
Old Packing Plant at
Goble Raxed by Fire
ST. HELENS, Ore., May 13
Fire of undetermined origin last
night destroyed tho old cold stor
age, and fish-packing plant, and
'two tool houses of the S. P. &
S. railroad at Goble, Ore., on the
Columbia river, about 15 miles
north of here.
Favorable wind saved the wood
Steamboat, S. S. Culburra, an
chored hearby. A coastguard
crew from Longvlew saved tho
adjoining docks.
Ernest Fisher, custodian of the
building which was owned by A.
L. Goldschmidt of Tacoma, esti
mated the loss at $12,000, par
tially covered by Insurance. The
building has not been used since
1925. It was built about 50 years
ago.

"Passing k law behind our
backs," he says, "was vlolatln'
Just what wo were fightlu' for.
The very principles we fought
for in 1776. Law-makln' without
representation Is one of the most
undemocratic things we call do."
I guess we're all agreed on
that. Most folks admit we made
a mistake "once . . . but the boys
who are fighting this war can be
pretty sure we won't pull any
thing like that again! ....
