The motor ear makes jobs for millions of men and women and keeps thousands of factories and mines operating, and yet on top of all this, at a recent meeting of scientists the prediction was made that before long will be a development that will rival' the accomplishments, in an industrial way, that have resulted from the introduction of the automobile.

After the expenses, amounting to 8105.00, are taken from the gross income, the grower realizes a profit of 8505.00 per acre, or ap proximately $2,600.00 per five acres.

Jan. 22 VP) Em phasis was. made today by Senator Fess, Republican. Ohio, to the point - Herein is Jove, .not that we loved God, but that he loved usi . and sent his Son to be .the propitiation for our sins. Be loved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.' 1 John 4:10, 11. '' ' THE MAGIC INDUSTRY ' " ;; The older generation will recall when the' automobile be gan to take its place in the world about the year 1907. Busi ness conditions were in a quiet state about that time, but the sale and use of the automobile so changed condition's. that in. 1908 began an exceptionally prosperous period fpr all lines of industry. ,. At this time it is interesting to note what an important place the automobile occupies in the industrial world, and because of this observers watch carefully the gains or losses as reported by the industry for 1930, and note the prospects as predicted for the year 1931. ; This public interest is justified when it is learned that there is a motor vehicle registration of 26,718,000 for the United States and of 35,518,000 for the world, and that 4,700,000 persons are employed in motor vehicle and allied lines in the United States, that the American people paid $1,010,000,000 in automobile taxes and $515,000,000 in gaso line taxes last year, that $2,200,000,000 was spent for roads and streets last year, and that the automobile industry is the mother of 51,514 car and truck dealers, 50,000 public garages, 100,300 service stations and repair shops, 80,000 supply stores and 350,000 filling stations. From these figures it is apparent that the prosperity of the nation depends largely upon theprosperity of the automobile indus try, ana vice versa. , i Although the production of cars and trucks was less last year than in 1929, this industry alone consumed 82 per cent f)f the rubber, 55 per cent of the plate glass, 15 per cent of the iron and steel, 57 per cent of the upholstery leather, 30 per cent of the aluminum, 14 per cent of the copper, 15 per RUSSIAN LUMBER In a recent, issue of the Christian Science Monitor is a story based on the findings of an American investigator who visited a concentration camp near the Finnish frontier, in which he found 240 persons, who had escaped from the Rus sian lumber camps, and succeeded in reaching the boundary line and' by eluding the Finnish frontier guards located at the boundary, had entered Finland. -.The statement is made that from these refugees, corrobor ative stories are secured to the effect that most of . the workers in the lumber-camps are convicts and others work ing under compulsion; that a certain task is set for each ThTt pSeSr5c.v in objeTtiEg to worker, and if it is completed in the specified time, he is hndh'SSS: given an order for so many rubles' worth of goods on the Ith0 aoor to BU revlBion proposals.

No other team except Pendleton or Mac-Ill has gone to Salem from tho neighboring district for many years, and It Is unlikely that any dork horso will break In this year, as both tho Bucks and Pioneers have strong quintets.

La Grande's chance to mako a claim for an East ern Oregon title would bo to defeat both tho Pendleton and Mac-Ill teams, and then hope to win the lo cal district title. Thot Is on extreme ly large order, ond Is not at all likely, llowevcr. remote as the chance Is. the Tigers are the only team of tho four that has that cliance. as all of the other thrco havo lost a "big four" game.

A large number of men are selected, because oJ par ticular attention to duty, to one of the 67 different schools In the United States to learn a trade. He ls there from 36 weeks to six months, accord ing to the trade which he Is to fol low. Mr. Barker says that there are 2300 young men learning a trade in this manner in the &7 scnoois. The first enlistment is for four or six years, and If, at the end of that time. the sailor would rather return to the life of a civilian he is privileged to leave the navy and practice- his trade elsewhere, always armed with an hon orablo discharge certificate, which, Mr. Barker feels, Is one proof of character.
