HARD LUCK LEADS TO JAIL TWO YOUTHS GET 9 0 AXO 6 0 DAYS FOR THEFT OF COATS. Money Lost in Walla Walla Pool Hall Poker Game, Pair Ride Blinds to Portland. Hard luck and the.raiiyr weather combined brought two boys, Walter Smith. 22, and Fay Stoffer, 20, to grief in municipal court yesterday when they were sentenced by Mu niclpal Judge Rossman to- 90 and 60 days respectively for larceny of two overcoats. The boys told the judge that they had been- working in the harvest fields in eastern Oregon and Wash ington, but while in Walla Walla they sat in on a pool hall poker game which reduced their finances almost to zero. Arriving in Pendleton, their financial straits were such that the older boy, Smith, was forced to sell his only coat to obtain the necessaj-y funds to eat, and when they journeyed to Portland via the "blind baggage" route. Smith was in his shirt sleeves. In Portland the boys wandered through the streets penniless and Job less. It was raining, and Smith was coatless. They passed a car parked on Fifth and Stark streets Friday in which reposed two overcoats, the property of C. C. Emil and his son of 653 Kerby street, who were visiting a doctor's office. Smith admitted in court that he had taken the overcoats at that time, but they were not missed by the owners until the next day, when the police were notified. Both coats have been recovered. One was in a pawnshop and the oth er was in the hands of Stoffer when he was arrested after visiting several pawnshops, according to the police.

THEKazelcDObd v QJ C0NFECTI0NERY &RESTMJRAN1 127 Broadway 388 Washington Q Provision in Oregon Act Is Consid ercd Improvement -Abuses AVill Be Minimized, 'Belief. That the market commission bill which will be passed upon by the voters of Oregon at the general elec tion this fall, is substantially the same as the market commisssion act of California is the statement made by Colonel Harris Weinstock, former market director of that 'state, in. a letter which has been received at the headquarters of the State Taxpayers' league in Portland. Colonel Weinstock states that the only difference in the two measures is a provision In the proposed Oregon law placing all co-operative associa tions existing under state laws under the direction of the state market commission. He adds that he consid ers this provision an improvement over the California law in that it will tend to minimize any abuses and keep co-operative marketing associations on a safe basis, thus insuring a higher, degree of success and minimizing pos sible failures. "Statements that have been made by opponents of the measure that the Oregon law will not do for the farm ers of this state what the market commission has done for the farmers of California because no similarity exists between the two acts are ab surd." he said. "The framers of the Oregon bill had but one thing in mind In drafting their measure, and that was to adhere In every possible way to the California act. so that the same measure of success might be secured in this state as had been achieved there."

Indoor Workers' Eyes! The writer of this mes sage, up to a certain day some years ago, had appar ently perfect eyes. Since that day he has worn glasses and still has far from good eyesight. The damage was done before he even had a warning. Those, who work indoors under conditions which strain the eyes can often be fitted with glasses which need only be worn at work, thus adding years to the efficiency, of the eye. But it must be done in time. Do not wait for a warning. We will be glad to make an examination and give you a dependable report on their condition. COLUMBIAN Optical Company; Floyd F.
