The olive branch extended by the demo cratic leaders and accepted by cans may wave for a day. called. leaders does not extend come early in the session, and an extra session may be forced in order to care for necessary public business. : Besides regular appropriation measures and decision as to a renewal of the one per cent cut in the income tax, there are numerous vexing questions demanding attention. One Is the Norris bill for abolishing the "lame duck" ses sions of congress by constitutional amendment changing the time when the new congress starts. The country is gener ally favorable to this change but political expediency has hitherto succeded in blocking the biU. Unemployment problems will be given a thorough air ing by congress ; but just what may, be accomplished is du bious. The old Wagner bills for setting up machinery to count the unemployed and extend labor bureaus may be pushed forward with the administration possibly more sym pathetic than it was when .they were first introduced a year ago. Congress may appropriate more money for road work, public buildings and rivers and harbors improvement than usual to provide additional employment. Progressives will push along the bill for government operation of Muscle Shoals- power plant. The dam was built in wartime but tHe plant has been idle ever since wait ing for congress to decide what to do with it. Private util ities want to lease the) plant, but the progressive -group wants the government to operate it and sell the power to southern municipalities. . The jolt the power trust got in the last election is regarded as enough to frighten the low- er house into approving the Norris bill which already passed the senate. Then anti-injunction legislation will be proposed which will seek to bar the use of injunctions in strikes and labor disputes. Labor unions have long contended for such leg islation, and will seek to get it at the coming session. V; The president's leadership having proved inadequate in the previous session of congress, it is not probable that Hoover will be able to control the situation at this time. In fact, with the sting of reversal in the last election, the pres ident may not tryto lay out any program or interfere with any .that congress may make for itself. Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving IN those far-off days the hofse was supposed to know the way to carry the sleigh over the white aad drifted snow to grandmother's house for Thanksgiving day. Yesterday was almost such an old-fashioned Thanksgiving day. For it was cold, unusually cold for was no snow for phantom horses to pull phantom sleighs upon in this motor age. But the ground waJ white with heavy hoar-frost. And the chilly temperatures reminded folk of the crisp, cold Thanksgiving mornings they had en joyed in the olden days "back home". Much of the remainder of the country, did have a gen uine old-fashioned Thanksgiving with plenty of snow for sleigh bells if they still use and Wyoming were emerging numerous deaths. because of Winter seems settinsr in early It is customaryvof course tosay how thankful we are that the Willamette valley is not like those benighted re ckons Where the -north pole blows his breath. But even here winter may play a mean gale to freeze our self -congratulations. The winter Is just beginning. We may get our full share of it before the vio lets bloom again. Cheap Coal OOME coal company in Utah O fered coal for the poor at.S2.60 per ton. That is very generous indeed! How many able to buy at that price? - There are many weary hundreds of miles between here and Utah. One might as well send a postal card to starving Chinese in Shansi province and offer flour at S1.59 a sack. T $2.60 and $2.75 a ton at the pit mouth is the usual cost for Utah coaL Getting it to Salem costs $6.65 more in freight. Unloading it, sacking it, delivering it in small lots adds a few dollars more to the cost until the best a dealer jean do is to sell it for $14 or $15 a ton and then pray hard he won't lose any money on bad accounts. This does bring to light one of Oregon's difficulties: its poverty in coal. Lacking both coal and iron it has been impossible for us to build up industries on the coal-iron base. Electricity will supply us with cheaper power than coal, but there are many uses for coal, including, heat, which makes it quite indispensable. We need to realize this when we study the problems in the way of Oregon's development. Brilliant Jurist Called fpHE death of Judge John H. Stevenson of Portland robs JL Oregon of one of its able jurists and brilliant intellects. A native of this state his education was largely self -acquired. Yet he became versed in the best literature, was apt in quotation and vivid in his use of language. He was one' judge who served a considerable period of time as a newspaper man, having been on the Portland Telegram at friendly interest in newspaper work and workers and was a frequent attendant on meetings of the Portland Press club, presiding on occasion at brilliance.

Sleeplessness or insomnia is largely a - mat ter of habit,, a bad habit. Ex cessive fatigue worry, lack of fresh- air and physical exer JUS cise are . the mI n causes leading; 'to in somnia. One should acquire, the haMt of absolutely dropping work and oaree at "bedtime. I have told yon of Mr. , Henry Clews who said be -made Four teenth Street the dividing line In his life. He wonld not permit himself to think of business when he reached that street on hlj way home at night. People resort to all sorts of methods to lndaee sleep. The counting of sheep and other such fantastic mental games bare been tried by all of ns bnt usu ally without beneficial results. If yon are restless and cannot sleep do not worry about it. Dwelling on the thought that you are having difficulty in sleeping wUl keep yon awake. Relax in bed, even If yon are awake, yon are affording rest to yonr body. Rest will come only with relaxation and that will be followed by sleep. . Sleep Is nature's way of re juvenating the body. Sleep should be sufficient in duration and tit should be uninterrupted. The av erage number of hours of sleep required by an adnlt is from seven to nine hours. Growing children require more sleep than adults. Sleep comes most readily when the stomach is practically empty. If the drinking of water induces bladder action during the night, it is better to avoid late drink ing. Where possible sleep out doors or in a room open to fresh air. Outdoor sleeping is more restfnl and beneficial than in door sleeping. Never take drugs for sleepless ness. Once you start relying on medicine for sleep, you begin, a habit that is often difficult to break. Plenty of exercise in the open during the day is essential for good sleep at night. Let. your ev ening meal be a wholesome one without spices snd condiments. Avoid all stimulants. Let me repeat make sure there is plenty of fresh air in your bedroom. Tou can be assur ed of this if all the windows of your sleeping chamber are open. ; A warm bath Just before going to bed is a great aid in relaxing the body and preparing for a good night's sleep. Sleep may be encouraged by drinking a glass of warm milk. If you are worried and cannot relax in bed, it H often a good plan to read something divert ing. Do not - read exciting : books In an attempt to relax. A book that requires concentration will help you quiet the mind and in duce sleep. If yen continue having insom nia in spite of these measures. consult with your physician. Con- tinned lack of sleep is injurious to the body. There are many nerve disorders that cause In somnia. Such disorders should be under the personal supervision of your physician. TODAY'S PROBLEM... A cube has a surface of 96 sq. in. What is lta volume? Today's answer tomorrow?

Nancy seised on the idea; "The Cralgs' beau tiful place and the same beauti ful mugs every year. Same girls. same men. Mat Tully is the only new one in three years and we're already discussed him. What good does it do us, going there? A little fun and then it's all over. With one decent trip we'd get more out of it than forty years at the Cragis.' Look at Alice Bulwlnkle with her piano legs.

We know the public too well. Ours shall be a one-price store, I mean an administration with but a single policy. "We shall not be content to do merely as little as our predeces sors did. Our achievement must be at least six per cent greater, at tained at a cost of at least six per cent less, as far as our com parison shoppers can find out.

The argument is set forth that Marion county may get along without a county agent because three Salem banks and at least one dealer In agricultural imple ments have maintained what have amounted to county (and intercounty) agents; performing the work of county agents.' : s V a The argument is one in favor of. a competent county agent. Why? Because it Is a. confession of the need for such Vork. The same argument -might bo made in behalf of the outstand ing cannery managers In ' Salam.

V These things, the money spent by our banks and agricultural Implement dealers and canning and packing concerns, have been, largely, the reason why Marion county has increased her number of farms, perhaps, more than any county in the United States In the past 10 years. But they are reasons, also, why all this work should be coordinated under the leadership of a good county agent; so the growth may be both kept up and speeded up. 1 Of course, the county agent would need) to be competent, else he would be useless, and worse than useless. V No man who would accept the highest salary that could be of fered could be aecured who would measure up in the special lines to some of our experts in the can ning and packing fields.
