Kay, state treasurer, the Warm springs irrigation district, which is in process of reorganization, has received a substantial profit on investments of certain irriga tion funds made in behalf of the project. Thi3 was Announced at the state treasury department Thursday. As a result of a sale to the United States reclamation serv ice of 85.000 acre-feet of surplus water of the Warmsprings irri gation1 district for $680,000, part of which was represented by con struction work and part by cash, the federal government in Au gust, 1929, paid to the district $325,000. This money was de posited with the state treasurer, mad was later supplemented by payments from the state engi neer aggregating $62,993.41. be tween the dates of August 16 and October 16. 1929. District Funds Draw Interest , Upon receipt of the iirst 1325,000 payment, the state treasurer, acting in accordance with an agreement between the irrigation district, bondholders committee and the state reclama tion commission, purchased at a discount of $300, United States treasury "certificates due Septem ber 15, 1929, amounting to $320,000. These certificates drew 4 per cent interest. The cost of the investment lncld1" accrued interest vas $325, 502.17. When these certificates ma tured they were exchanged at par for $300,000 worth of 4 7-8 per cent treasury certificates due June 15, 1330. on uciuurr 1929, a total of $50,000 of 4 3-4 per cent certificates were pur chased at $100.03 per $100 par value with the money turned over on that date by the state engineer. On November 8. 1929. a total of $200,000 of 4 7-8 per cent treasury certificates were sold at a profit of $1,312.50. and the proceeds invested in 4 U certifi cates due December 13, 1929. On December 2. 1929. all of the treasury certificates were sold at an additional profit of $1067.78 and the proceeds were then in vested In $320,000 of 3 1-8 treasury notes callable in 1930 and due in 1932, and in $64,000 of 4 3-4 Fourth Liberty Loan bonds. Profit Amounts To Over S7O0O Through investment, reinvest mest and sales of government se curities, the state treasurer has obtained for the Warmsprings irrigation district, and indirectly for the bondholders and property owners of the district, a total profit of $7043.05, and still holds in the investment accounts of the- district $24,000 of 4 4 Fourth Liberty Loan bonds bousht at a price of $101.22 per $100 par value compared with the present market sale value of $103.30. The present increase in value of these bonds over cost represents a further poten tial profit of $500. In addition to these profits, a total of $12,911.92 was realized as interest on investments, mak ing a total return already re ceived of $19,934.97. Of the to tal amount realized through sales of treasury certificates and bonds purchased for the district $378,550 has been distributed to the bondholders as a cash settle ment of 25 per cent of the bonds of the district which they liold. SCHOOLBOY PtM IS House Cleaning Proves Profitable To Jake Bingham GERVAIS, Oct. 23. It pays to clean up one's place once in a while, or at least it paid Jake Bingham this week. While going through some old papers and clean ing up around his pool hall, Mr. Bingham found a roll of bills amounting to exactly f lOO which he had hidden away about 16 years ago. There was no bank In Gervais at that time and Mr. Bingham was accustomed to hiding his money in various places about bis building so that if ho was robbed or held up the thieTes would not get all he had. This money was rolled op 'and put in a box and put away back of some old papers. Mr. Bingham came very near throwing the box and .all on a bonfire be had started in the back yard, but he saw the roll just in time to save it.

Warnings against the menace to health found In veneral dis eases are given in the weekly bul letin from the state board of health. Inasmuch as the county health unit has been stressing particularly this year veneral dis ease control, the health board's warning is particularly timely for this county. Since the health unit started to emphasize this phase of health problems, there has been a marked improvement in report ing and many new cases in the city and county have been brought to light. These diseases are curable during early stages. Fallowing is what the state health board has to say: "The two diseases that are usu ally classed as venereal are gon orrhea and syphilis. A third one of less Importance is chancroid. The specific micro-organisms of these diseases are given off from open lesions upon the skin or mucous membranes. Each dis ease is produced by the entrance of discharge from an Infected person directly into an open wound upon the skin or mucous membrane of an orifice of the body. "There has been a popular be lief that a venereal disease is of merely temporary importance, and concerns only the person who is infected. There la often little discomfort or gross evidence of disease. The severer symptoms often subside promptly, and the patient may be able to mingle with society without exciting sus picion. But the specific germs remain in unhealed and unnoticed lesions and are transmitted to in nocent persons, especially to a wife of an uncured husband. Apparent Recovery Often but Temporary "The germ3 mat remain in the body may produce severe forms of the disease months or years af ter apparent recovery. Many cases of rheumatism and bone diseases, a fourth of all cases of insanity, many severe gynecologic conditions, and all cases of loco motor ataxia and paresis are later manifestations of uncured vener eal disease. Grave effects are left in probably ten per cent of all cases. Venereal diseases are plagues which rank with tubercu losis in their prevalence and in their evil effects on individuals and society. "Gonorrhea is entirely too pre valent. It affects all ages and all classes of society. It is the cause of blindness of the newborn and many surgical operations on the female genital organs. It causes sterility in both men and women and is the cause of many chronic diseases of the Joints, bladder and generative organs. "Syphilis is said to affect over five per cent of the total popula tion and affects all ages and all classes of society throughout the world. It Is responsible for the birth of diseased children 85 per cent of these children die. Syphilis causes diseases of the liver, spinal cord, heart, blood vessels and other vital organs. Venereal diseases decrease the length of life about one third and greatly decrease efficiency. "Gonorrhea and syphilis are both preventable and curable dur ing their early stage. They can be (fured by any physician who is informed on modern treatment."
