GET ALL RINDS DOE ONE HALF LESS DYE 6 GHOULS II OREGON Half of All Money Received From Forest Reserves Has Been Turned Over. WASHINGTON DOES LESS .Report From Neighboring Stato Shows That Amounts Have Been Largely Diverted? for Roads and Other Purposes. SALEM, Or., May 1. (Special.) Btate and county officials of Oregon are much more zealous than some neighboring states In guarding the school funas, according to J. A. Church Ill. State Superintendent of Public In struction, who said today that he had made an inquiry as to the manner In which the funds have been bandied in the state of Washington as compared with Oregon. Results of an investigation into the manner of handling the Washington school funds made recently by the leg islative committee of Washington, rep resenting the State Federation of Labor, the Farmers' Union and the state Grange, developed facts of a startling nature. Writing to Superintendent Churchill, the secretary of the legislative com mittee called attention to the fact that 25 per cent of the moneys derived from the sale of timber and the rentals of the forest reserves is paid by the Fed eral Government to the various states, the law providing that it shall by them be divided among the counties in which the forest reserves are situated, and the money expended for the benefit of the public schools and the public roads thereof, and not otherwise. Oregon' Schoola Get Most. In Washington, however, the legis lative committee has discovered that the varirous counties, except in four cases, have not divided the money equally, as in Oregon. In many counties in Washington all the money has been allotted for roads, and the schools have received nothing. In some counties, it appears that a very email amount has been spent for schools and roads, and the balance "otherwise" expended. Statements received by Superintend ent Churchill from nearlv every coun ty in Oregon show that the counties in this state have divided the money equally between the school and road funds as the law provides. Figures obtained from Washington show that for the last eight years the ' Moneys derived from the Government from the sale of timber and rentals of forest- reserves in that state have totaled J208.605.40. but in the appor tionment between the schools and roads the latter have received. the greatest portion of the money. Washington's schools have averaged but $5824.48 an nually from this fund during the sight years. Oregon Does Better. In striking comparison, Oregon has received in eight years from this fund a total of $350,480.03, of which amount one-half, or $175,240.01, has been ex pended, for the benefit of the schools in the different counties of the state. This is an average of $21,905 annually for the entire period, going for . the benefit of the schools. The following statement shows the reports trom a number of Oregon counties for 1915, of the way the fund was divided, as compared with the di vision in an equal number of counties in the state of Washington for eight years: Oregon.

Senator Cummins himself has been invited to come to Oregon and stump the sttte. but it Is believed that bla duties in Washington will not permit him to get away. It is probable, though,- that one or more of his promi nent supporters in the East-will come here to speak in his behalf. The Cummins people in Oregon have been conducting a quiet campaign, con sisting of personal canvasses in many of the counties. They propose, now. however, to assume an aggresive at titude in the hope of turning the tide favor of their candidate before the primaries. Senator Cummins will compete in the primaries with ex-Senator Burton of Ohio and Justice Hughes. The name of Justice Hughes will appear on the ballot despite his expressed Instruc tions to the contrary. The Supreme Court has mandamused Secretary of State Olcott to recognize the petition of Hughes supporters asking that his name be presented. Colonel Roosevelt's friends propose to write his name in on the ballot and it is probable an organized effort in this direction will be made by some of the Colonel's etaunchest supporters. oeiore the date or the primary.

Year', Supply I, at Haad. The Hawley Pulp & Paper Company, I of this city, has enough dye on hand to last a year, but is following out the International Paper Company's plan. The Hawley Company, however. Is not using dyes in any of its wrapping 'or I tissue papers, and the Crown Willam ette Company, with mills here and atl Camas, is putting dyes only In certain of the higher-class wrapping and tis-1 sue papers. The stock used by the four Portland dailies is made by this company, and I is about midway between the old white I paper and the new. Both of the companies operating In Oregon City have experimented with American-made dyes, which they find to be unsatisfactory. The Hawley Company finds that 27 pounds of do mestic dye was equal to one ounce of the German product. War Helps American Mill. "American-made dyes must be closely examined and thoroughly tested, said M. W. Hedden, chemist of the Crown Willamette Company. "Much of the dye offered ia of the lowest grade. A pa per maker must be careful in making a purchase, testing every bit ol it be fore closing a deal. German dyes that once sold for 39 i cents a pound now bring $15, and limit of the supply is In eight. From the standpoint of the paper manufacturer, the war has been both a benefit and an injury. It has shut out cheaply-made foreign pulp and pa per and enabled the American mills to supply the home market, a condition which Is forcing the plants to run nights and days and many of them on Sunday. On the other hand, the cost of chemi cals and dyes has mounted skyward. and at present the cost of paper of all! kinds is going upward rapidly.

Nearly all grocers strongly recommend Swastikas, and a big percentage handle no other biscuits. Could so many suc cessful merchants make the same mistake? The representative grocers of this city and region would rather sell Pacific Coast Biscuits than any other brand because they know that Swastika Biscuits are always crisp and fresh always a little better than the next best biscuits you can buy. You see, ladies, Swastika Biscuits are made of the purest ingredients in big, modern, sun-lit plants by men who have reduced the science of baking to a fine art. So, when you buy biscuits, tell your grocer that jtou want the best Swastika Biscuits. It matters not what your taste in biscuits may be, there's a Swastika made to suit you exactly. And all Swastikas fairly radiate goodness. Look for our famous trademark the seal of pros perity, on the end of the carton, when you buy biscuits if you want the best.
