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.

amounting to 8105.00, are taken from

proximately $2,600.00 per five acres.

"DOOR OPEN," FESS SAYS .. ,
WASHINGTON. 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

only conceding tho Bulldogs an even
chance to win from La Grande. Coach
Scott said yesterday: "I consider our
chances of beating La Orande this
year as good as they were last year.
Although we have quit a new bunch
of boys playing they seem to have
basketball ability and If they don't
get nervous In the big game' they
will stand a good chance of winning.
They are not expected to go Into the
