Though the tonnage of this year was not larger than to supply the immediate Oregon demands, the Oregon . Growers' association, looking forward to increased ac reages, has started to develop marke3 to take care of the lar ger yields which are expected. Samples of the associations graded product were sent to var ious markets in the east and to Europe "resulting in orders for immediate shipment that swamo ed the organization. A single New Tork broker asked for six cars of graded Franquettes and inquiries came for car lots from be reduced by mutual agreement various parts of the country. A to avoid reducing forces.

Of course. itwas about what they wanted for Christmas. Mildred said "and then I'd like one more doll!" "What kind?" asked , Nancy. ' , "Kind? Why. I don't care so long as it is a doll. Maybe a baby doll or perhaps one with black curls or I think yellow hair is nice! I like big dolls but not too big and I like little ones, also! "Good gracious!" re torted Nancy. "You wob ble so nobody'd know WHAT to give YOU! I want a baby doll that has on a blue checked romper suit and It Rays 'Mama when you tip it frontways. It wiggles Us feet too so that when . you hold it by the hands you , can make it walk. It's got a white bonnet on it! It's at Shipley's! .1 know : what kind I . want!" , handling the Oregon product that he has already placed his order for the first car of the 1922 crop. English buyers are desirous of securing a substantial tonnage and they prefer the Oregon pro duct rather than the same varie ties from France because of the careful grading and sorting which the association is practising in handling the walnuts. A New York buyer says that they are of the finest quality that he has ever seen. While the quality Is of fore most importance It is probable the attractive character of the nuts as they appear uniformly graded and in neat appearing sacks has a great deal to do with the excellent demand which they are meeting. The experiences of this season's marketing gives indication that there is a much wider field for the production of walnuts in Ore gon and growers who are plan ning to make new plantings can do so with "a feeling that there will be a demand for their pro duct when the trees come into bearing. Oregon walnuts are unexcelled. IF BUI OR KIDNEYS BOTHER The supreme court in a unani mous decision handed down yes terday sustained the law. known as the bonus and loan act, for the benefit of Oregon men and women who served in the World war.

The commission will then be able to pay cash bonuses. It will ako be able to make lpans. not exceeding $3000 each on real estate security, to ex-service men and women. It is estimated that there are 35,000 ex-service men and women in Oregon entitled to the benefits of the act, and that it will ulti mately require $30, tiOO, .(. The loans will be repaid to the stato with interest. A total of 14,304 applications have already been received by the commission 8081 for cash bo nuses, 6223 for loans.
