Ib it uny wuuUiT Abe Martin THE NEW MOTORS Each year in January there are unveilings, private views, open salons and formal "showjngs" of the newer niarvels of the American automobile industry. The new machines are in some ways different from all that have preceded' them. They are cars for a young, optimistic and joy-loving- nation. . There isn't any of them that doesn't look extraordinarily bright and cheerful. They sport plenty of gay color. The American motorcar has moved swiftly through three stages of development in the last twenty years. It, began us a sporting machine, with the temperament and the whims of a race horse and a tricky way of doing unexpected things. Perfection of mechanical detail was approximately a decade ago, and tljen, thg, nutomobjl.took; jts place Among; the recog nized utilities and assumed a sedate appearance. It invited your confidence. It became more docile and easier and easier to manage. It went about in dark and unobtrusive colors, and every one who had anything to do with its future frowned upon the earlier sporting character attributed to devil wagons in general. Now that automobiles are so finely developed in a mechanical way that they will do everything but mind the baby, their makers have again gone in for what you might call expressionism in color. The car of today is a really beautiful thing, and there are sophisticated and trained obsorvcrs who hold that it is actually a brilliant expression of an entirely new art sense in America. Europe at the present time produces nothing to compare with even the lower-priced American machines in outward grace and gen eral proportion, to say nothing of mechanical efficiency. . The drift in American automobile design is to fleetness with added ease of control. More efficient and powerful braking devices have naturally increased the essential safety factor to a point which permits faster driving on open roads. Steering devices have been improved, and engine designs have been in many ways altered to permit the quick pick-up which is compensated by the four-wheel braking systems. The belter grades of gasoline now being marketed permit the most efficient use of high speed, high-compression engines of the sort which for some years have performed most efficiently and economically in light cars of European make. Tho American car of today is lighter-fooled in pro portion to its weight than any car of European imunifncture. In the new models now being shown by the important American makers the efforts of designers to make driving easier even under traffic conditions that are becoming in creasingly difficult is always apparent. Some of the most powerful cars may be hail on shortened wheel bases. Altera tions in chassis design make for easier turning in narrow spaces. The woman driver seems never absent from the minds of ihe automobile engineers. Readjustment of Basis Of Oregon Taxation First Step, Calloway Sajs that many eUi:.ns ht- dev.

Drop In Prices Of Butter Hits Wallowa Farmer Hy G. C. Jleclc (Obnervor Correspondent) WALLOWA. Ore. (Special) The recent plunge downward in the prices of butterfat does not prevent a very encouraging pros pect for many of the dairy men of this community. Feed prices here during the past two years have remained at u fairly high figure, but while the prices Tor butterrut were running around 45c and due per pound there was a chance for a fairly good profit from the herds which were good producers. At present most of the classes of feed retain their standard of prices. In cluding hay and grains which are tho best adapted for feeding to dairy stock and when the feed sit uation is carefully figured there does not remain a v-y wide mar gin on which to figure a profit front the business. During the past two years lliero has been a gradual expansion of the dairy In dustry In this county, with the ex pansion being most general in the Irrigated areas. The decline in butterfat prices is looked upon as u hard slam by practically all farmers1, for- even those who did not make a practice or dairying ex tensively have depended to a large extent, on Income of a few cows In keeping up their "expenses. Colder weather and hard freea Ing of the ground in the timbered ureas during the past week has allo.w-cd logging operations to go forward In good shape. There is but little snow in the lower parts of the county and roads are still in excellent condition for hauling the Iocs In on wheeled outfits. The sii3W in the Maxville and Powwat ka districts is reported to be ubhut five inches deep with the ground frozen solid, giving loggers an ex cellent opportunity to do their skiddini.-. Several contractors who are enitagcd in logging in some of the smaller tracts of timber in this community are making an effort lo get as many of the logs In as pus-lhlr white roads and weather conditions are at their best. A eonshb rably larger amount of feed Is being fed livestock In this community now. Karim-rs and stockmen report their stock clean lllC the feed up in good shape and with but little waste since the last snow and colder weui her. WMh some feeding b ing neeessiry while the leather vas milder the slock did not eat the teed readily re sulting In a considerable waste by the feed being tramped down. The demand for hay Is reported to be uutte steady and prices are said to rtu.um at uuout tho muic fig ure as for the past six weeks, most of those buying recently say that around $15 per ton Is the cheap est they havo been able to secure. Hoy Ga.stln has been" working for John Couch of Leap during the past, two weeks. John Couch wus busy tho latter part of tho week hauling fOiuo chopped alfalfa hny from near Lost i ne to his home in the. Vp,,i community. j Sam Meek wag delivering some j cltickemi to the depot here the j first of the week, i Leroy Plass, of Knterprise. was visiting his father, Giles Plans, of ' Leap, tho first of the week. Airs. I Plass has been visit inc at Lerov Plass' during the past ten days and Is reported to be recovering rapidly from her recent sick spell. Cases of colds and flu nre re ported from various parts of the community, with sonto being con fined to the house for several days in recovering from the uttack. A rather sharp decline in egg prices has occurred in this section during the post week or two. with the prices at the local stores drop ping to 3(e per dozen. 4lc porta from many of the poultry raisers since the cold weather' has set in indicate that there has been n considerable drop off locally in faco of the slow-up in production. At no time during the fall and winter months has the egg produc tion been up to normal from the flocks of this community. .Many of those who are usually getting a heav; '-y from their flocks be fore t ne holiday season say that they havo nut been a bin to get more than a 2Urr production up to this time. PARIS HAS FIT OVER ENGLISH TALKING FILM Money back!" were cries that ilif i turbed several performances innl on one occasion started a small J riot. Police were called and some j spectators arrested.
