3:30 o'clock, after a triree weeks' ill
ness. Mr. Paddock was stricken with
a severe cold after attending the reg
ular pension day dinner in Oregon
City three weeks ago, and which ter
minated in heart disease.
Mr. Paddock was born at Burling
ton, Iowa, November 10, 1842, and was
the son of" Jonathan and Nancy Wat
son Paddock. He was among the first
to answer his country's call during the
Civil war, enlisting from Hannibal,
Missouri, as a private in Company F,
21st Regiment Missouri Volunteer In
fantry, with Colonel David Moore as
commanding officer. This regiment
was formed by the consolidation of
two battalions, previously known as
the First Northeast Missouri Regi
ment, under Colonel H. M. Woodyard,
and was - mustered into the United
States service as the 21st Missouri
Militia Infantry February 1, 1862, at
Canton, Mo. The 21st was the first
regiment to have its flag successfully
planted on the works of Fort Blakely,
Alabama.
Army Record Was Ntabie
Mr. Paddock, when entering the
service, joined his regiment at Mem
phis and was soon promoted to cor
poral. He received hia honorable dis
charge at Washington on the 19th day
of April, 1866. After his return to
his home he was commissioned by
Governor Fletcher, of Missouri, as
lieutenant of Company K, 59th Mis
souri State Militia, and recruited for
the state militia. Mr. Paddock came
from a patriotic family. His grand
father, Joseph Paddock, served as
colonel of a regiment in the war of
1812, and his great-grandfather, Wat
son and six brothers of the latter
served in the war of the Revolution.
One of Mr. Paddock's brothers, Wil
liam, served in the First Oregon Cav
alry, and another, Henry, served in
Company B. 59th Illinois.
Thirty-five years ago Mr. Paddock
came to Clackamas county, first set
tling near Clackamas Station, where
he engaged in prune growing. Twenty-
five years later he moved with his fam
ily to Gladstone, where lie lived until
his death. It was while residing
there that he and his wife celebrated,
their golden wedding anniversary on
December 12, 1917.
Had Been Active In Politics
Mr. Paddock had always taken an
active interest in the county's affairs,
and was a staunch Republican, serv- j
ing as county treasurer for four and
one-half years, from 1900. He was a
member of the I. O. O. F. Lodge for
many years.
Deceased is survived by three chil
dren, Arthur D. Paddock, Miss Lura
Paddock and Miss Jessie Paddock.
His wife died on June 17, 1918, and a
son, Harry Paddock, died at Glad
stone on December 22, 1918. Mr. Pad
dock also leaves two grandchildren,
Hal and Willis Paddock, of Marsh-
field.

Christian church at Gladstone, Mon
day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. G.
E. Williams, of- Foster, officiating.

Webster, Miss Fayne Nurdon, Garland
Holloweli and Victor Gault, sang

anda was the accompanist.

Howell. William Rivers, M. C. Cald
well, Guy Dwiggins and T. J. B. Wil
liams, local Oddfellows. Honorary
pallbearers were members of the
Meade Post, G. A. R.
The floral tributes were beautiful
and in great profusion.
Interment was in the family lot in
Clackamas cemetery.
A new movement faces one of two fates. Either,
like a Parisian fashion, it is hurridly adopted, or it is
branded as bolshevistic and reactionary and hastily con
demned. The Ford Motor Company's five-day week has
been instantly catalogued by a large portion of the press
and people as in the latter classification, something to be
disapproved of and characterized as unsound and injuri
ous to industry.
But is it ? A little investigation into the psychology
of the wage earner certainly presents some ground for a
shorter week enough to warrant its being tried by a
concern which has in the past proven that its labor theo
ries were workable.
The average laborer who works sx days a week has
comparatively little time of his own. Economists main
tain that production alone is the basis of just return.
True, but should production be limited merely to the out
put of goods? A man's labor, whether it be for his em
ployer, or in improving himself and his condition, mental
or physical, is entitled to recognition from society. The
five-day week gives the man, as an individual, the privil
ege to decide for himself what this extra activity is to be.
There may be some few who would employ it to little
good, but the majority would find in the additional per
iod time for personal activities, beneficial to himself and
hence to society, hitherto denied.
It is true that no man who has confined work for
himself to five eight-hour days has risen to a captainship
of industry. But the work was his choice. Shorter hours
of labor give the individual that right of self-determination,
the opportunity to make of himself a better citizen
and a more useful man.
The objection to the five-day week is the same type
that was raised against the $5 minimum day wage at the
Ford factories. The increased output and the added effi
ciency in the Detroit factories is evidence of the success
of that plan. The agitation for the reduction of the
. work day from 1 0 to eight hours met a similar argument.
But the world, though far from Utopian, is better for the
shorter schedule. There is a point of diminishing utility
of labor which has not yet been determined, and the ex
periment of the Ford plant should be welcomed rather
than upon hasty consideration regarded as an industrial
menace.

The King's Daughters of the St.
Paul's Episcopal church met at the
home of Mrs. C. G- Miller Wednesday
afternoon, when the time was devoted
to needlework.
Refreshments were served by the

More Dogs Killed by
Poison; Action Taken
URGE INCREASE SHOWN
IN AUTO REGISTRATION
Oregon, according to a survey made
by the B. F- Goodrick Rubber com
pany, ranks 27th in the number of cars
registered in the United States, with
an increase of 14.3 percent over 1920.
In 1921 there were 118,615 as against
103,783.
The statistics compiled give a to
tal of 10,524,395 cars and trucks regis
tered In the country during 1921. This
is an increase of 1,229,023 or 13.2
over 1920 when there were 9,295,372
motor vehicles registered.
The gain made during the past year
warrants the consideration of the au
tomotive pessimist. The automobile
business has gone through its supreme
test. It has emerged victorious and
there is no longer any room for pes
simism. Authorities concede that over
one-third of the cars running are own
ed by farmers. Despite the fact that
six large agricultural states show a
decrease over the previous year, the
industry has forged ahead. It is re
markable that so few states show a
decrese.. Wheat and corn in 1921 sold
at extremely low prices, frequently
far below the actual cost of produc
tion. This of itself would tend to re
strict the use of automobiles by farm
ers yet in such states as Kansas, Ne
braska and Iowa where the agricultur
al depression was most acute, the num
ber of cars increased. Motor vehicles
are becoming as essential as farm
implements.
New York Leads in Autos.
!
New York again leads the field
with 816,010 cars and trucks, an in
crease of 123,836, the largest made in
any state over the previous year. Ohio
is second with 726,700, a gain of 108,
700 over 1920 Pennsylvania clings to
third place with 689,589, while Illinois
is close on its heels with 670,434.
The largest percentage gain was
made by West Virginia where an in
crease of 38.1 is recorded over 1920.
California and Florida reflect the popu
larity of their climate and roads with
respective gains of 19.5 and 24.8.
It, is interesting; to note that six
states account for over one-third of
the year's increase in registrations.
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York.jl
unio ana Pennsylvania accompiisn
this with a combined gain of 573,437
cars. Any one of these states has
more cars than the entire European
continent. Their aggregate total of
3,781,849 is greater than the total reg
istration of the country in 1916, and
greater than the present world regis
trations excluding the United States.
Nevada is on the bottom rung of the
ladder with 10,800 cars. Delaware is
only one step above with 21,413. By
comparison these states are not as bad
ly mired as it seems, for either one of
them has more cars than the entire
Chinese Empire.
Number of Cars Per Capita Shown
There was one motor vehicle for
every ten people in the country in 1921
as compared with one for 11.8' in 1920.
If this average were maintained
throughout the world there would be
170,000,000 cars in use. The world

The practice of poisoning dogs in
this city is still going on, the latest
victim being "Jack," a handsome pet
dog and constant playmate of little
Paul Smallwood, son of Mr. and Mrs.
B. E. Smallwood, of Twelfth and Cen
ter streets.
The owners of the poisoned dogs
are so incensed over the matter that
immediate action will be takn
with the state humane society at Sa
lem, in order to see if something can
be done.
This makes seven dogs and a num
ber of cats, killed within the last few
weeks in the vicinity extending from
