COURT FINES FOR 1921 SHOW LARGE INCREASE SherifPs Office Arrests Are Double Number Made Here During Year Just Ended. Arrests by the sheriffs office dur ing the year of 1921, more than doubled over the records for the past year, according to a report compiled by Sheriff W. J. Wilson. During 1921 there were 184 cases handled, outside of traffic violations, state arrests and minor charges. In 1920 there were 81 arrests. The re port shows that during 1921 there were 184 arrests. The report shows that during 1921 there were 52 arrests for manufacturing liquor, 30 for ille gal possession of liquor, 23 for bur glary, 13 for drunkenness, four for reckless driving, seven for nonsup port, two for desertion, three for hav ing stolen property in their posses sion, three for passing bad checks, two for petty larceny five for lar ceny, two for felony, two for threats of murder, one for assult with a dead ly weapon and eight for statutory of fenses. INSANE CASES LISTED Nineteen insanity cases required confinement in the jail during the year, and eight men were held for the state officers. The records of the sheriff's ofifce give no official count of the traffic violations, as these are made to the Justices of the peace us ually without the arrest and confine ment in the county jail. ' The record also does not show the number of In sanity cases handled where the sub jects have not been confined here. The total fines collected by the sheriff's office for the offenses listed in the report amounted to $8,405 du?V ing the year. An additional $750 in fines was served out in jail sentences at $2 a day. Justice of the Peace E. J. Noble's report to the treasurer for the year of 1921 shows fines and forfeitures for the year of 1921 to amount to $8,932.10 The greater portion of this is repre sented in fines coming from the sher iff's office arrests, but includes also traffic cases. The figures of the two offices do not check together for the reason that some of the justice's fines are not on the sheriffs books, and some of the receipts credited to the sheriff's office go through the circuit or other courts. NOVEMBER FINES BIG The largest month which Judge Noble reports for the year was No vember, when fines ran more than $1700. May and December both to taled over $1,000. The individual fi gures are: January $575; February, $593.50; March, $395; April, $515.25; May, $1138.65; June, $543.20; July, $920.80; August, $721: September, $285; October, $469.15; November, $1748.55; December, $1030. The justice court estimated receipts for 1921 were set in the budget made out December, 1920, as approximately $4300. Reports from justices over the county have been received by the treasurers office, but have not yet been tabulat ed. ' The total fines collected over the - entire county cannot be ascertained until these records are completed. Civil War Veteran Has Hip Fractured George Wendover, G. A. R. veteran who fell at his home 412 Duane St., Friday and injured his hip, was taken to Portland Monday for x-ray to as certain the nature of the fracture. He had just come from town and had a dizzy spell and fell. He is 85 years old, and served in the Civil war from beginning to end. He was with Sherman in his march to the sea. Man Is Arrested Here On Bad Check Charge J. B- Way, wanted in Marion county for passing of what is alleged to have been a worthless check, was arrested at Sunnyside Monday by Deputy Sheriff Long. Way is charged with giving a check of $10 to the Ladd and Busch bank at Salem, which was not backed by any funds. He was taken to Salem, where he is to be tried this coming Thursday. He says that he has funds to cover the paper. PACTS MAY BE APPROVED WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 A meeting of the five powers naval committee of tne arms conrerence was called for this afternoon. It was considered possible that both the submarine reg ulation proposals and the draft of the naval treaty would be presented for approval to. this meeting. KRASSIG & HERNS DENTISTS Specialize in Extraction of Teeth Crown and Bridge Work "Plates That Fit" 10-11-12 Andresen Bldg. Oregon City, Ore. county taxpayers budget meeting read , with interest and partial endorsement. However much as I disagree with a I great many of the results of the meet ing, if I believed as Judge Campbell, (I 'assume you do, because you quot ed him in opening your article) that "Budget meetings are fast becoming a farce" I would take such legal steps ; to bring about a restoration of laws by kings and judges. For the budget meetings are the very essence of de mocracy. If the rank and file of the people are not given the power to govern themselves, or rather the abil ity, then stops should be taken to bring about despotism thru kings and judges. It is generall yacknowledged that kings and judges know more about government and what Is right and wrong than the common herd, yet it is the work of centuries and centuries that the people themselves are and should be supreme. While it may be true that the types named are superior in intelligence and ability, history shows they have failed so much that the people have gradually struggled to obtain these powers themselves. And at a terrific cost in blood and treasure. Every tax payer has a right and civic duty to be preasent. Without a public hearing it would easily be pos sible that a levying board thru vari ous motives might bring in a budget wholly incompatible with the wishes of the people, would you suggest then that a board to say, an editor, a judge and a preacher determine what is good, for the people. These three parties would not be demagogues in your opin ion, so should be o. k. Remember your people of superior intellect and ability were not dema gogues when they put over all of the biz tax and bond issues thru referen dums etc. Their knowledge of psy chology should have told them, that after piling up the terrific tax burdens thru bonds, etc., that as natural re ui and reaction, the masses would turn to the other extreme. The most significant feature of the meeting is that of its being a guide to who ever desires to represent Clack-1 amas county in state legislature, or j hold public office in the state must take steps to reduce taxes. Most of tho big items in budget were fixed by statute, so the people could not' touch them, so your statement that hey were brushed aside easily was not entirely fair. In my opinion the majority were wrong in disallowing the extra traf- ! fic police, after spending so many thousands in creating so many roads. Bu 'tis only the comeback of the pendu lum. The cut in salaries was not a cut to my understanding. Only declin ing to raise them. I know nothing about the merits or demerits of cutting out certain clerkships. Thats likely as much as most of the voters knew. Its difficult to get at, too. It would seem all we can do is to depend on the moral honesty of the chief of each department. To me the amusing part was the preacher telling the farm bureau pro ponents of the club leader that you do not need club leader to raise your pigs, if you do not need a nurse to raise your children. Then to see the society ladies slaughter the club leader. Had the county agent followed promptly, he too would have been butchered be cause the same faction lost the nurse. Very truly, R. E.

The steamer Lewiston will probably take to water today. Oswego has now a daily mail ser vice, but it is all on one side like a jug handle. Between Portland and the Pittsburg only. A line has been located for a tele graph between Portland and Dallas City. The services on Christmas at the St. Paul's Episcopal church Rev. John W. Sellwood, rector, preached an. instruc tive discourse. His subject was "The Birth of Our Savior."" The chants were beautifully executed, and the church handsomely decorated. One of the enjoyable events of the Christmas season was the party at the court house given by L. Diller, who absolutely excelled himself. The Good Templers also had a feast in their hall, to which many outsiders were invited. Only two men were found drunk in Oregon City during the holidays one of these had his head split almost from ear to ear, and the other ran away.

This is a work that requires no "plant" nor equip ment and does not taken one out of her home except on shopping tours. By advertising in the magazines or daily papers one makes it known that the will make purchases for patrons. This is the chief expense except car fare to the shops and the correspond ence necessary. It is a business which might grow indefinitely as one per formed the work well and gained con fidence of patrons and the advertising that their recommendation would give her, but it will take time to work it up to a point of much prosperity. The Professional Shopper must know styles, the markets, the prices which are right and where to get the best bargains. She must have tact in dealing with people and be able to judge well of what they want by their descriptions. She should prepare a detailed questionaire which will give her definite knowledge of the articles dosired, and must have a safe way of making collections, as well as rules ttating when unsatisfactory articles may be returned or exchanged. To have clerked in stores is good training for this business. Woman Organizations Mri Winter and Mrs. Park Joint Letter. Write In order that women's efforts foi rood may not conflict, nor over-lap. the Presidents of the two larges: women's organizations have addressed i joint letter to their organization; irging co-operation. Mrs. Thomas G. Vinter of the General Federation of Women's Clubs and Mrs. Maud Wood 'ark of the National League of Wo- nen Voters are thus aiming to knit to- ion constituents. The joint letter calls attention to he fact that both organizations are f "progressive women interested in :he right development and right con servation of the nation's resources." ?oth are organized in each of the orty-eight states and are working for ;imilar, and often the same, legislation n both state and nation. The Federation "is primarily socio ogical and edlucaticf aJJ" while the ..eague "concerns itself with women .s voting citizens." But the Federa tion has always done legislative work .nd the League is educational. Both Presidents announce thei nutual understanding of the value o both organizations and their earnes lesire that the most cordial relation jf co-operation shall exist in "all state nd local branches, "to the end tha he work in which we are interested may be forwarded with the least pos sible waste of effort." - ' 'V ? 4 t v 8 HAPPY THOUGHT $ S 8 8 ? -'s i !' We often confuse saving with thrift. It it not always that. It is often more economical to spend our good cash for equipment, or even for beautiful knick-knacks if they make us more "peppy", and efficient by brightening our lives It takes a wise head to distinguish saving from thrift. The thrifty house wife, for instance, will not waste time using and egg beater with single whip pers when for thirtyfive cents she can gt the double kind and shorten lur labor many hours a year.

What Will Happen in 1922? Three-tfiundred-sixty-five opportuni ties will dawn before New Year's morn, 1923. What, oh what, will these lay at the feet of 1923 We can fore cast a bit: More than half a million babies will be born in the United States. How many in the world, who can estimate? Laws affecting children will be im proved in all civilized countries. Skirts will grow longer. Women wil be given rights before the law more nearly equal to those enjoyed by men. We will all be one year older. Women will take such active part in the world affairs as can scarcely be imagined. Women's Organizations will become more widespread, more International, and more co-operative, thus extending their power and hastening the realiza tion to women's ideals. Ten thousand American mothers and fifteen thousand American babies will be here on New Year's day, 1923, who had died were it not for our re cently enacted Maternity-Infancy bill. The same old "eternal feminine" in stincts which Eve brought out of the Garden of Eden will still be as keen and sweet as ever the eternal wifely, the eternal motherly. The Dove of Peace will increase and its coo-ing to audible above tha scream of the American eagle the roar of the British lion, the grunt of the Russian bear, or the call of the other birds and beasts. Education will "march"; physical education will be emphasized, and play be more universal. i The world will- become re-stocked on manufactured products. Thousands of dwellings wiH be built. Invention will add to the efficiency and the pleasure of life. The aeroplane will become of more practical use. Rural life will become socialized, more interesting, and satisfying, and remunerative, and less arduous. Business will become "normal." Dream on dream on . . . your own rosy dreams! You have 365 chances that they will come true. "Thine own wish, wish I thee!" Visit the Green Grocer In the winter the housewife is like ly to feed her family too much on cooked foods, on meat and potatoes and deserts, and to neglect the fresh fruits and vegetables, the regulating foods, and food containing vitamines and mineral substances. Vegetables and fruits are more dif ficult to obtain. They cannot be or dered over the phone as their condi tion so varies that they must be seen by the thrifty purchaser to be judged. Their purchase generally calls for a trip to market and that is sometimes a nuisance. Then, too, the purchaser must frequently carry them home her self for the green-grocer does not de- gance, but they are not, considered in the light of doctor bills or failure of the body to grow and function aright. A dish of fruit or an attractive vege table salad adds piquancy to the meal and permits other very simple foods to be used reguarly, when the eaters would revolt again these unless renev- ed by the pleasant fresh foods.

But give bim .celery, carrots, cabbage, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and all the other raw vegetables he will eat. The body suffers greatly from the lack of the vitamines and the mineral salts which fresh fruits and vege tables contain. The gums will become spongy; eczema and rickits, and de generate teeth, bones and skin will re sult. Some think it is a cause of pre maturely gray hair. Many people think too much acid in the system is because of eating fruit acids. By some mysterious pro cess fruit acids neutralize body acids which are a poison. It is the body acid, a result of indigestion or a slow ing of bodily functions, which causes sour stomach and the more dangerous, though less nojticeable, consuming of tissues. Fruits acids are the cure. Many people, get crates of oranges or grape fruit, and frequently neigh bors combine to do this. They keep well in the winter ad with lemons are our most valuable source of food acids and minerals and vitamines. Toma toes, raw and canned come next, then the green leaf, the growing parts of plants, the humble carrot, raisins and prunes. , Cooking or long storing tends to spoil the vital value. When you cook vegetables, be. sure to- save the water in which they are cooked, add butter and milk and serve as soup. Most of the mineral salts are dissolved in this water.

During Mr. Moehnke's activities in that district, it was gen erally known by his name. Mr. Moehnke, as a- county commis sioner in the early 80's was one of the first exponents of permanent roads. His advocation of lasting improve ments met with considerable opposi tion. In order to demonstrate his theory he built what is believed to be one of the first experimental roads in the west. On a stretch a mile long from Mountain View to the crossing of the Highland ' road, he constructed a "pavement" by laying large rock and filling in with screening. The road is still in use.
