With a week-end house recess

which is backed by the national
grange, the agricnlture committee
plugged along at its most aggra
vating problem today and heard

i "Representative Ketcham of
TV1" v M ichlgan , a republican member of
: '. "the agriculture committee said
. : tonight that hia export debenture
6111 would include two principal
7: .....
First, a provision for flexible
ieien lures to oe appuea according
T o each commodity situation and
i .-.econd, a surplus control clause to
provide automatic reduction in the
Jebenture rate based on the in
crease In production of any com
modity.
Plan Held Simple
Under the former, the minimum
debenture would be equivalent to
no allowance at all and the maxi
mum would be tariff, duty on the
commodity concerned. Under the
iatrer provision, production in
crease would be Judged by the
average acreage over five years.
"It is the simplest bat most ef
fective plan yet evolved," said
Ketcham, "and requires a cora-
f paratively insignificant appropria-
(I tlon to finance the little admlnis-
.trative work Involved."
The new plan which is similar
to that sponsored by Rep. Jones,
democrat, Texas, had been en
dorsed by Louis J. Taber, master
of the national grange on behalf
of his organization.
Explaining It, Taber said that It
- i't an arrangement whereby "lm-
V'Sl'-aprters of certain agricultural
tffoducta receive from the treas
ury certificates having a face val
ue established by congress and in
tended to represent the difference
in costs of production here and
' abroad, such certificates being ne
gotiable and good for their face
value In" the payment of import
tariffs on any articles later im
ported."
Many From Salem Attend
Methodist Men's Meeting
The exceptional strength of the
Methodist Men's council in this
district was shown by the large
attendance at the meeting held in
. Liallas Wednesday night. In ad-
L.titlon to numbers' from other
Ll- . cam ni unities, there were 110 men
, ,m rota Salem churches present.
It is claimed that the Salem
district Is one of the strongest In
the entire field of Methodism, in
its support of this particular fea
ture of the church program. Dr

This is a proved fact: the news
paper drama, "Man. Woman and
Sin," which ; is showing film
version for the last times today,
has been a success in Salem.
The proof lies in box office re
ceipts. The management gives Its
word that the showings of the
film have proved increasingly pop
ular. The crowd at one performance
is bigger, if not better, than the
one which witnessed the previous
showing.
Any theater man one whose
Integrity may not be questioned
will explain that such a condi
tion indicates at least one thing:
those who have seen "Man, Wom
an and Sin," have enjoyed it to
an extent that they have gone to
their friends and informed them
that something worthwhile is be
ing shown.
The film's title is not indica
tive of the picture's nature. It
is, to repeat, one of those most
fascinating stories of the news
paper world, and it features such
stars as Jeanne Eagels and John
Gilbert.

M FLUNK BIBLE
ONLY ABOUT HALF OF ASPIR
ANTS GET CREDITS
Since the establishment in 1917
of the Bible study course in Ore
gon high schools. 4115 students
have taken the examination In the
Old Testament and 4029 In the
New Testament.
Of these 1962 passed the Old
Testament examination and 2047
passed the New Testament exam
ination. Of the 8144 taking the
Bible study examinations since
1917 4009 were successful.
"That only 49 per cent of those
taking the examination made a
passing grade undoubtedly result
ed from the fact that many have
gone into the examination with
ittfe or no systematic prepara
tion," read a statement issued by
Charles A. Howard, state superin
tendent of.Bchools.
"Any high Bchool student will
profit greatly from a thorough
study of the Bible as outlined in
the coarse. While we wish to en
courage high school students in
larger and larger numbers to un
dertake this study, we are, at the
same time, inclined to discourage
students from taking the examin
ations without adequate prepara
tion." Examinations in both the Old
and New Testament are given in
January and May of each year in
all four year high schools that
maice application for the ques
tions. The manuscripts are graded
under the direction of the state
department of education. Each
pupil receiving a grade of 75 per
cent In either the Old or New tes
tament is recommended for a
semester's credit In any high
school in the state.

There Is Plenty of Room For
All, and There Are
Plenty of Prizes
How come? With The States
man putting up over $6,000.00 In
automobiles and prizes, the con
test has not seen Candida La es en
taring as they should.
Perhaps it is because the prizes
are so stupendous that no one can
believe It In time. Anyway, no
matter why. . someone, maybe
you, is losing a wonderful oppor
tunity. Awards will absolutely be
made. No matter whether there
are 100 candidates or a dozen can
didates.
Now, with few candidates en
tered, is the time to cash in to
get a lead. It is easy now. A
worker, one with real ambition
and pep, can take a lead that will
be hard to overcome on the home
stretch. More votes are given on
subscription now than later
That, too, helps.
The pessimist sees only the
hole in the doughnut, while the
optimist well, you know the rest.
Look for the beautiful If you
would have it cash in on the op
portunities that are offered you
if you would profit accordingly.
Anybody's Opportunity
Such an opportunity the
equal of which has never been of
fered you before is now being
presented to you. In a few short
weeks from now The Statesman
will reward the energetic hust
lers of this section and the op
portunity for more "live wire'
campaigners to enter the contest
and make themselves important
factors and probable winners of
the grand prize, is actually call
ing aloud. Why, it's anybody's
opportunity to get the automo
biles. Here is an opportunity, surely,
for the man or woman, boy or
girl who looks at a thing from a
business standpoint and who ar
rives at a conclusion as to its
merits by the way it appeals to
him as a business proposition.
How's That?
Some six persons will earn up
wards to $1000.00 or more a
month for the next few weeks.
How's that for a business propo
sition?
The competition, which is just
starting. Is open to any reputable
man, woman or child In this sec
tion. All that is necessary to en
ter the race is to clip the nomina
tion blank appearing In this issue,
fill in your name and address
and mail or bring it to the contest
headquarters of The Statesman.
This coupon entitles you or the
person whom yoi nominate to
60,000 free votes and gives you a
flying start on the road to suc
cess, upon receipt oi tne nomina
tion coupon at the office, a com
plete working outfit, together
with detailed information, will be
sent or given you.
Plenty of Room
Thus equipped, you have but to
yoor Mnto and neighbors.
I relatives and acquaintances, and
have them save the free voting
coupons from the papers and cast
their votes for you when they pay
up their subscriptions, whether
new or renewals. . . .
Thus far very few persons have
been nominated, considering the
number and value of the prizes to
be distributed. ThereTa plenty of
room and there are plenty of
prizes for more active candidates.
All candidates who have en
tered The Statesman's contest are
requested to turn in their sub
scriptions at once.
To those who are still contem
plating entering The Statesman's
prize distribution contest, your
nomination should be turned into
Contest Headquarters a once.
Still more prises than contestants.

COMPLETE JURY WHEN
EXAMINATION FINISHED

Defense counsel again today
drew from the bench repeated or
ders to speed up the examination
of talesmen, on several occasions
the judge took the Interrogation
out of their hands and himself
shot staccato question at the men
and women In the Jury box.
The procedure of the defense
was In striking contrast to that of
the prosecution.
Keyee Says Little
District Attorney Keyes and his
assistant, Forrest Murray, seemed
content to lean back In their
chairs and, except at rare inter
vals, permit the defense or the
court to Interrogate the talesmen.
Of thrills there were virtually
none throughout the day and the
crowd of spectators, among whom
was a sprinkling of motion pic
ture actresses, had to be content
with the level tones of lawyers
questioning talesmen, punctuated
by the sharp 'interjections of
Judge Trabucco.
At the afternoon session it was
evident that the drab legal pro
ceeding was more interesting to
women than men. More than half
of those in the spectator's section.
which was not nearly filled, were
members of the gentler sex.
The deleting power of the de
fense challenges struck heavily at
the tentative women jurors as the
afternoon wore on. Others were
accepted however, and the propor
tion of two men to one woman
carried along.
One man was seated despite the
fact that "he admitted being a
friend of Cantlllon. No objection
came from the state after a ques
tion or two had assured Keyes
that the talesman would forget his
friendship for the defender In the
light of fair Judgment.
As the allotted number of legal
mandates for defense and prosecu
tion dwindled, the hour for usual
adjournment was disregarded and
the selection process continued,
spurred on by the business-like
jurist (who permitted no untoward
delay.

The moment the plane came to a
standstill, it was encircled by a de

which protected it from the
crowds. As Lindbergh stepped
from his plane everyone seemed to

was cheered repeatedly during the
