When the muscle grinders met a week ago the decision went to Hand on a referee’s decision. Wood has agreed that this time he will keep his feet from coming in contact with Hand’s chin and that he will wrestle a denn game, the only kind that meets the approval of local fans. Although it is admitted that Wood is a real wrestler, he was vociferously razzed upon bis initial appearance here because of his resort to tricks that do not appeal to Cottage Grove fans. It was the opinion that he does not need to resort to underhanded ways of winning a match. Hand, however, was a favorite writh the local fans and it was their opinion that he is fully capable of taking care of himself. PYROTOL IS ORDERED County Agent Distributes Govern ment Explosive to Fanners. I » An order for 18,750 pounds of pyrotol, government explosive that is cheaper and stronger than 20 per cent dynamite, has been placed with the government by O. 8. Fletcher, county agent, for Lane county farmers and the Lane county court. Of the amount, 10,000 pounds will be used by <he county in road work. The remainder will go to 24 farmers who have placed orders for from 50 to 1000 pounds. For those who have not placed orders, but who want to get some of the explosive, Mr. Fletcher proposes to order another carload on August 15. He hopes to dis- tribute a carload in western Lane, another at Junction City, another here and a second car in the Eu- gene area.

Meisner, has had removed from one of her legs a sliver which had been in it since Christmas time, nearly seven months ago.

McNary, The city has hail village delivery for a number of years and the growth of the gross receipts of the office during that time has been such that the department promptly granted the application for the new classifica tion, which is the same service ac corded all metropolitan cities, with the exception that the delivery of parcel pdst, under the present order, is restricted to the business dis trict. The application was made only a few weks ago. The order gives to Cottage Grove the highest classification of de livery service provided by the post office department and includes uniforms and increased pay for the carriers. In addition to the two carriers now employed a third will be employed five hours daily for the delivery of parcel post.

Following the loss of the match Wood immediately challenged Hand for a return match, winner to take all. Hand has accepted the chal- lenge. The date has not been set. The National Association of Farm Equipment Manufacturers makes us sit up and take notice when it reports that tractor manufacturers are behind with their orders; that i this heavy buying of tractors is to take up a slack in man and horse power and that tractors are rapidly passing out of the seasonal equipment class. There was a time when a statement that the horse was to disappear from the city would have been thought pre posterous. Now once in a while he creeps into and out of the city in the early jnorning hours with the milkman—and that is getting to be about all! There are dozens of competitors being shod with rubber shoes every day to one in the old-fashioned way. He ha? only had one line of retreat—to the country, and now we find him disappearing even there, A flivver is becoming far cheaper to own and maintain. It certainly can travel at a faster gait, Farm hands are more expensive and scarce. A motor needs little feeding or grooming. Roads are becoming better even in the most thinly settled communities. Certain kinds of work we have always figured the borne must do—yet we wonder more and more at man’s growing inge nuity. Ohl Dobbin is certainly facing the stiffest fight in his career and is becoming almost as much out of style-as long hair and full-length hose for girls It appears that the hog market must continue to rise. Last yea r 47,506,600 pigs were raised, com- pared with 59,000,000 in 1923. This year the spring survey estimates 31,000,000 of the little fellows and it is doubtful whether over 12,000,- 000 more will be raised in the fall.

Postmaster Smith does not be lieve that there is any likelihood that the poisonous reptile could have been purposely placed inside the paper. I Playgrounds Get Many.
