PAYING' PLAN EXTOLLED GEORGE W. RIDDLE, WINNER OF COJTTEST, OX AUTO TOUR. ' Assertion Made That Grangers of Doug las Count j- Are Largely in , Favor of Road Bonds. ROSEBURQ. Or., June 2. (Special.) Enthusiastic over the paved roads on which he traveled from Medford to the California line. George W. Riddle, pioneer resident of Riddle and winner of the good roads essay contest con ducted here recently by Representative Brand, of Garden Valley, returned to day with the declaration that he would support any measure which had for its purpose the improvement- of the high ways of this state. I have traveled over the road from Medford to the California line many times during the past 65 years," said Mr. Riddle, "and I want to say that the road improvement work done there dur ing the past few years is a revelation. The road is hard surfaced and is adapted to all kinds of traffic during all times of the year. This roaa demonstrates beyond a doubt .the difference between perma nent and scientific road construction and the patchwork which is so no ticeable in many other sections of the state." It is predicted here that the grang ers of Douglas County will vote heavily in favor of the bonds. GRAIN NEED IS HUGE Allies and Neutrals Would Use 971,000,000 Bushels. SUPPLY CANNOT BE MET Hoover, In Estimating Minimum De mands, Says Tbat Only 600, 000,000 or 800,000,000 Bushels Can lie Exported. WASHINGTON. June 2. The grain requirements of the allies and the European neutrals wers put at 971. 000,000 bushels, a total much greater than the United States cart supply, la a statement by Herbert C. Hoover to day. Hating the minimum needs of each nation for human consumption and for feed. "It will, of course, be Impossible, said Mr. Hoover, "for North America to furnish all of this quantity, although LESS INCREASE EXPECTED West Makes Showing In Freight Rate Hearing. SALEM. Or., June 2. (Special.) That the West will see freight In creases less than the 15 per cent hori zontal rise asked by the railroads now being heard by the interstate Com merce Commission, and that there will be a suspension of the advances in lumber and fruit rates, are hopes ex pressed by Commissioner H. H. Corey, of the Public Service Commission of this state, who is in Washington at tending the hearings. He so tele graphed the Oregon Commission today. "I believe the good showing made will be reflected in a decision to the benefit of the West in lesser Increases than other sections," he telegraphed. GOVERNOR WITHYCOYM.BE SAYSi "The road bond bill Is tha greatest measure ever contem plated by the state of Oregon. It means more to this state than any measure in its history, not barring the constitution, because the one thing we need is high ways in Oregon. It is time for us to get out of the mud. There should be no sectional interest. We need and must have good roads. They add to the wealth, thrift and happiness of our peo ple and our state. This measure does not add one farthing to our. taxes. It simply capitalizes 1 waste. It is a most splendid measure. No sane man or woman should ' offer a single word of opposition to this movement." will be established as soon as the food bills and the export limitations act become laws. At present the allies and neutral countries are purchasing in large quantities for future delivery. There is no guarantee that all these deliveries will be made, as this Gov ernment may hold up contracts to as sure an adequate food supply at home. Mr. Hoover denied a report today that the food administration will buy the country s grain crop for dlatrlbu tlon. There Is no Intention, he said. of going into the grain business. More than a dozen women home economic experts called on Mr. Hoover today to learn how they might assist In the food conservation. Most of them are teachers of home economics in women's colleges.

"Jacksonville l.- Its Palmy days" will ba reproduced in the spacious quarters of the club. It is especially hoped that the wives of active and associate members will prod the remembrance rib of hubby and remind him that from 8 to 12 each night the merry dance will be on, the little balls will be spinning and the croupiers will be paying out thousands of phony dollars to the winners. Attractive prizes will be awarded to those players who are able to accumulate the largest bales of the paper money. Out-of-town visitors to the Rose Fes tival will be made special guests of the club, the only qualification required be ing the evidence of the presence of some of the wealth that the wheat and cattle growers of the state have been accu mulating for the past year or two. NEW VIM PUT INTO SALE (Continued From First Page.) for Injury or death, the Government cannot subject a man to more risk than he encounters in his usual oc cupation and not make compensation if he is wounded or killed. War Rtslc Bureau Is ' Success. The success of the Government War Risk Bureau, which has paid out large sams for ship losses, is pointed to as an argument that the Government it self can bear the risk. The Govern ment, free of overhead charges, can carry extra insurance on soldiers and sailors at a much smaller cost than can corporations. Of course, the $4000 in surance given free would be a direct loss, but pensions, it is argued, would be much more costly In the long run. ' Mr. Sweet will see heads of Insur ance companies in New York within the next few days to discuss the plans. Alaska Gets Military Instructor. OREGONI AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. June 2. Major Peter W. DavlT son, paymaster of the Alaska Road Commission, has been selected by the War Department to be Adjutant-Gen eral and instructor of the Alaska Na tional Guard, which is to. be organized under a recent act of . the Territorial Legislature. 'Alaska now has no Na tional Guard. the major load must fall on us. In any event It emphasizes the necessity for control of exports In order to con trol prices and protect our supply and the necessity for conservation and elimination of waste in order to in crease the volume of our exports." Mr. Hoover believes the United States and Canada can 'export this year at least 600,000,000 bushels of grain. If the Winter wheat crop Im proves and the Spring crop is larger than normal, he believes this may be Increased to 800,000,000. Shipment of that much grain, much of it wheat, however, will force American . con sumers to eat less wheat than usual and eat more of other cereals.
