The ex ploits of famous and fabulous . birds of history bid fair, to become eclipsed by the parrot of Mrs. Christina Stauffer, of Hubbard. Rex, viho is somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 years old, has consistently sustained his reputa- tion as a confirmed, though talk ative old bachelor during the 21 years he has been in Mrs. Stauf fer's possession. However, a few days ago "he" electrified the household by laying an egg. The cage which Rex occupies was carefully covered as usual the night before the egg was-. discov ered by Mrs. Ida Garland, daugh ter of Mrs. Stauffer. There be ing no other members in the household and the doors having been seeurely locked for the night discounts any theory of a practical Joker's work. The egg which is about half as large as the ordin ary hen egg, is perfectly formed. One end was broken when it was discovered, apparently caused by lack of a nest to receive it, ao it - was necessary to remove the con tents from the shell. Both yolk and white were perfectly normal. The egg shell is being carefully preserved by Mrs. Stauffer, who has sent an account of the occur rence to, "Believe it or not" Rip ley.

"Lie Detector" X- X 2, Professor Keeier The "lie detector" in bT ., .i .mi,, lln,min, ; t t. jGerald Thompson - giafsa Professor Leonard Keeler's "lie detector" Is being used to an in creasing extent by criminologists in Chicago and elsewhere in an effort to onmask suspects and knowa criminals. It is estimated that . more than 4,000 individuals-in Chicago alone have been subjected to the mechanical device invented by the Northwestern university pro fessor. Two recent girl slayers were given the test, and both, ac cording to inquisitors, broke under the "spell" of the "lie detector", or polygraph, as it is also called. The two slayers were Mills Red mond and Gerald Thompson. The "lie detector" supposedly detects lies through the reflections of the patient's blood pressure, breath ing and muscular reflexes while being asked questions. Its reactions, however, are not admissible as evidence in court. Critics say that innocent persons could develop a nervousness that would indicate they were guilty, when they are not. Stamp Collector Paper Answer to Depression; Success Forces Expansion MILL CITY, Aug. 24 Mill City is losing another industry with the removal of the Western Stamp Collector by the publish ers, Al and Arlene VanDahl, to Albany this weekend. While they are taking their entire staff with them, the mailing of the paper will not only take an income de rived from the families of the em ployes, but will make a big dif ference in the receipts of the local post office. With the ceasing of activities by the Hammond Lumber company the office re ceipts were cut greatly as the com pany received and sent many par cels by mail, but this was greatly offset by the vast amount of mail business done by the stamp paper. Approximately 6000 copies of the paper were mailed out twice a week and in addition to this was the mail order job work and the letters sent out. The latter num bered close to 100 many days. The VanDahls came to Mill City in December 1930, from Salem where they had been employed as linotype operators on both The Statesman and the Capital Journal at various times. They bought the Mill City Logue from H. F. & A. A. Lake and continued to run the publication as a local paper. How ever the depression was getting a good running start and continued to keep In advance of the new publishers to such an extent that it finally became almost Impos sible to meet the payments on the plant from the meagre receipts of the advertising and support a family. Start Paper as Side Issue In 1932 the VanDahle com menced as a. side issue a stamp supplement to the regular weekly news edition and this proved to be a success almost from the start After at few months they ceased publication, of the local news sheet, changing the name from the Mill City Logue to the West ern Stamp Collector, but continu ed to use the same size paper. In this, the Western Stamp Collector is the only newspaper of the kind published in the world, and it is MILLS REOPEN. ADD TO LUMBER OUTPUT SEATTLE, Aug. 24. A total of 211 down and operating mills in Oregon and Washington which re ported to the West Coast Lumber men's association for the week ending August 7, produced 193, 888,731 board feet of lumber. This 'was approximately 8,000,000 feet over the preceding week, or 9 per cent. The average weekly production of this group of saw mills in f935 has been 68,005.643 feet, during the same period in 1934 their weekly average was 67,056,529. Twelve mills, eleven la Washington and one in Oregon, went into production during the period. Five mills recently ac tive reported no production daring the week. -J -i The new business reported last week by 211 mills was 10,m,16O board feet against a production of 93.88S.7S2 feet, and shipments of 107,783,135 feet. Their shipmenta were over production by 14.8 per cent and their current Bales were over production by 7.1 per cent The orders booked last week by this group of identical mills were over the total in the preceding week hy about 14,000,000 feet, or approximately 1 per cent. A group of 211 identical mills whose records are complete for both periods show total orders of 1935 to date of 2,559,177,671 Aids Police m - Mxr: Mills Redmond not stretching the truth when one says that it goes all over the world. Last November the pub lishers changed from a weekly to a twice-a-week, in response to the wish of its many patrons. Now the subscription list, which Is entirely a paid-in-advance one has reached around 6000 to the issue. Up until now the paper has been gotten out on a small Diamond press, necessitating much presswork. The publishers feel that the paper has outgrown the present equipment, and as much of their advertising and stamp news comes by airplane, they decided to move to a per manent location before installing new machinery. After looking over the field they decided on Albany as an ideal location and have .bought a residence property and office building adjoining on East First street. The office building is of hollow tile and concrete and has a floor space large enough to enable the installation of a larger press at a future date If it becomes necessary. New Equipment Has Been Ordered In addition to the new news press, a folder, and another job ber are being installed, new ma gazines are being ordered for the linotype now in use and new job type is being added. The present office force Is com posed of Mrs. VanDahl, who han dles the subscription work, Roy Chance, linotype operator, H. F. Lake, Job foreman. Charles Wach ter pressman, and Alberta Van Dahl mailing clerk and assistant pressman In addition Jennie Van Dahl assists in the mailing de partment. At least one new man will be added to the force later and will assist Mr. VanDahl in the stamp and correspondence de partment. ' The paper Is devoted exclusive ly to stamp dealers and news con cerning philatelists and carries ad vertisements from all parts of the world as well as news relat ing to stamps, covers, and other items of Interest to philatelists. board feet compared with 2,144, 723,301 board feet for the same period in 1934, an increase of 19.3 per Cent.

Phone 7114 The Safety Valve Letters from Statesman Readers PRAYER FOR TEMPERANCE Editor Statesman: In recent months the challenge has been hurled at us "what are the temperanee people f doing?" There is also much discussion, from various sources, of the need for temperance education. This letter is written to draw attention to one of the points, namely deep ening of the spiritual life, em bodied in our five-point education al program. "If my people, which are called by My name, shall humble them selves and pray and seek My face, and tnrn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2nd Chron. 7:14. The National Woman's Chris tian Temperance union calls its membership to a day of definite, intercessory prayer in this time of spiritual, social and national cri sis. We urge to unite with us all Christian people whose hearts are burdened because of the evidence everywhere apparent that the na tion . has f orgotten. God and that healing for our land can come on ly by meeting God's conditions. Therefore we designate Thursday, August 29, 1935, as Buch. a day of prayer. Let us pray: 1. For deepening of the spirit ual life of our people and for a rekindling of the civic conscience. 2. For millions of youth, forced to be idle, now subjected to the allurement of 400,000 relegalized liquor selling places. 3. For thousands of employes of the liquor business, most of them youth, many under .voting age, whose livelihood now depends upon the money wrested from the victims of the drink trade. 4. For thousands of homes, where because of drink, children are deprived of necessities and of the very opportunity for life, true liberty and the happiness which is their inalienable right. -5. For. officials, legislative and administrative, that they may re move temptations instead of plac ing stumbling blocks in the path way of the people. 6. For the nomination and elec tion in 1936 of officials of local. state and federal administrations, who owe no allegiance to the li quor traffic or its allied evils. 7. For the national convention of the Woman's Christian Temper ance union at Atlantic City, that it may he a Pentecost of power, sending the organization out, pre pared of God, to help overcome the evils which threaten the na tion, the home and the child. "Men ought always to pray and not to faint." Luke 18:1. "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." Gal. 6:9. IDA B. WISE SMITH, National President WCTU SAFETY FROM TRUCKS To The Statesman: I do not want to be classed with the usual writer "To the Editor" with many words and few thoughts. I merely want to endorse most heartily your edi torial "Another Fatality" in to day's Statesman, as it applies to large and overloaded trucks. If the legislature cannot or will not give ns safe and satis factory laws governing trucks let us try initiative again, and I think that method is often over worked but we should keep as a safety-valve.
