Mor ris Dunne, chairman of the state unemployment eompsnsa tlon commission, tbat proposed amend ments to the compensation tut were for simplification. ; J. B. Krans and E. T. Rogers of the tax redaction and control bureau, an organization with headquarters here, has asserted the ' amendments would pool funds, "prevent stable employers from obtaining; redactions and cover up mismanagement. The . changes, Donne said, would eliminate phraseology in connection with reserve accounts since the accounts were non-ex-Istcnt in the "true sense." He de clared employers did not hare claim to a particular sum of mon ey paid to the commission. . Dunne said employers were per mitted 1 bookkeeping credits so that In 1941 credits for stable em ployers' : reductions would be available for the advisory commit tee.

The ad visory group would start work on the merit rating June 1, 1941, six months after it could have been made effective under federal law. uuone upiBioea me uic uw give the state authorities six months to compile data. Proposed amendments 'winded elimination of railroad contribu tions after June 30, changing the benefit year from Jan. 1 to April 1 establishing the calendar year for employer payments, limiting times for hearings and reviews and raising the lowest rite em- loyers pay In 1945 from H to 1 per cent, although the action would make little difference to ,the employer since per cent credited to pool accounts would be eliminated. . Railroads will be eliminated because of a private unemployment payment system. Prep Prattle By PATRICIA RYAN - John F.

TALMADGE War Up to our' ears we'll be in war Long 'bout twenty thirty-four. It does not hurt my feelings in the least to be called an old fogy. I trust that it is true. The world is wasting a tremendous amount of money to guard itself from old fogyism, and it causes an old pelter such as I to won der what the end will be. Well, of course I cannot change it. Right or wrong, the flood rages on. I have, I presume, had mucn the same experience in the mat ter of health as the average per son. I am now coming uncom fortably close to the three-quarter century mark. At present my eyes are refusing childishly to put up with type smaller than long primer, which modern ty pographi8ts refer to as 10 point. Years ago, before a definite standard was adopted, 10 point was anything from nine and a half to ten and a half. Those were great days for the boys who cleaned up the pi. The linotype did away with most of this an noyance. But I still carry a vivid memory of the old days. When I went back to Provi dence that was in the 80s there was but one linotype in the town. New York had three or four. There were newspaper as the club's candidate for car nival queen. A field trip to the Salem linen mill took the place of the regu lar meeting of the Commercial club. Helen Gwinn is the carnival queen candidate of the Junior Crescendo club. "The First Dress Suit," a one- act comedy, by Russel Medcraft, will be the annual play of the Mask and Dagger club, to be given March 9. Miss Margaret Burroughs, club adviser, announced the following cast: Jack Sullivan, Teddy Hard ing; Ruth Steinback, Betty Hard ing; Don arms, Johnny Drake, and Carol Cook, Mrs. Harding.

This year the Civics club car nival will incorporate many novel ideas. Club-operated concessio i will be open from 7 to 8 p. m. In the auditorium from 8 to 9 p. m., some of the clubs will pre sent short entertainments on the stage. These programs will . be judged, and the winning club will receive a 0 per cent cf the proceeds. Following this then will be dancing ins the gym for high school students.

Charles A. Dana, of the Sun. said that even though it came up to the promises of its inventor, it would produce more grief than good. Mr. Dana was a brilliant man, too. The Sun wa, how ever, the last of the New York dailies to install linotypes; Mr. Dana knew when be was licked. It was Mr. Tana's contention that the installation of every machine meant a loss of his job to all news compositors. Four out of every five were out. I reckon there are still news papers which are set by hand in the old way. It can be done But the machine has spoiled the fun. I still insist that the old glameur has gone. There are still a few of the old gang left, but we are few and far between. and when one of us is found he presents a sort of pitiful p'cture. The old-time printer is gone. He was distinctive. His place hasJjo r a n g e - scarlet flowers almost not been taken. I have caused to be written to the Woman's club at Stayton an apology for my absence from their meeting Thursday after noon. I have been looking for ward to this event for weeks yes, months and my intentions were of the most praiseworthy sort. But, as is so frequently the case In this life, the best laid plans went awry. My eyes took on a bad spell. I wanted to attend this meeting. And I am sure the occasion would have been well worth the effort on. my part. I shall somehow try to make amends to the dear ladies of Stayton later. I once had a school teacher, now an old woman in Connecti cut if she be still on earth, who accepted her pupil s excuses with out question. It worked out fairly well, I think. If the ex cuse was good it was soon or late proven so, and if it were not good it held within itself the necessary punishment. This wom an was known in her day as the best of disciplinarians. Figure it out for yourselves. Spring approaches. Dark glasses are making their appear ance on the streets. Tie the season for putting- the windows up And of putting them down again. Old winter still is In 'he air. Keep this in mind, my friend. Knights Meet Tuesday - STAYTON The regular meet ing of the Knights of Columbus will be Tuesday night at Sub limity.

SCDAEFER'S Drug Store 135N.'Com1 5197-7(123 Tor Every The 03E(&N STATESMAN, Sa! By LILLIB L. MADSEN Every gardener, large or small, should try oat some new variety each year. It you are particularly interested In roses, get at least one ' n w rose. It might be the pink Gloam ing, or the Rome Glory (which brings a rather good price; 11. S0 or $2.00, I believe,) or it might be tbe de- IP ' yfllghtfni pink Countess Van dalL It might even be one of the older roses the deep golden yellow. Golden Ophelia, or the two-tone Betty Up rlchard, or the long pointed pink budded Editor McFarland. . . Ev ery spring one sees some rose he wishes he had in his own garden. They should be planted at once. Soon It will be too late again, and one will be wishing for another season. It one prefers shrubs flower ing ones and want small ones, there is the white Bell Heather or the common heather with golden foliage, as well as the common heather with the green foliage. A number of the bush honeysuckles are attractive. There are always a number of azaleas that one does not have, or rhododendrons. There Is the Beauty Bush or you might try one of the newer Buddleias. The highbush cranberry (Vibur num Opulus) is especially attract ive for its berries in late summer. The little tree-like shrubs should be planted in the spring. There are some very lovely flowering Deutzlas. There are also the Weigelias in red and pink. For Perennial Garden In the perennial garden the An emone Japonica may be planted in the spring, as may also the columbine, the delphinium, the autumn asters, and a number of others. The Astilbe is always admired a lot in spring and is still one of those plants usually forgotten when . ordering new plants. You do remember it? The cream or rose feathery heads growing on stems a foot to two or three feet high with pretty foliage nearer the ground? You may want to add a few ferns. Ferns are not used enough, in my opinion. And yet what is nicer than a patch of cool, green ferns when the warmth of July nd early August arrives? You might choose one of the Maiden hair ferns, or the Mountain Holly fern (a rare one, very attractive). or one of the dwarf compact rock ferns such as Cheilanthes Graci! ima, or the wood fern. These with a number of other varieties may be purchased from a western Oregon grower. Rock Garden Shrubs If you are looking for a little shrub for the rock garden, try Daphne Cneorum. The dwarf Geum, Borisis, which supplies mruugnuui summer, is b nice au dition to the rockery if one has the right place for it The coral bells may be added to the rockery In the spring, also. There are a number of rock garden species of phlox which are being offered by Salem and Portland growers. The sedum list grows longer each year. f. L, 1 . m si a a?--:. -rrvr r.!ode!

Perhaps It does seem a little chilly and disagreeable, but unless some of these things are done almost at once. It will be too late; Yon remember I warned you to hurry up and finish the 'dor mant spraying? Did you remem ber the lone gooseberry bush, the crab apple tree, or the extra prune tree? I hope yon also remembered the grape vine and peach tree? In ornamentals, it Is very necessary to spray the flowering almond. Ton remember, last spring you complained about the flowering almond dying back? -The foliage withering? Entire branches dy ing? Well, spraying is the only thing s that will help that. And continuous spraying. Pruning Time a ears Have you cut off the branches that did die on the flowering al mond? Go over your trees and shrubs and cut back all broken and Injured branches. Real prun ing time Is Just around the cor ner. Often time we have finished our pruning by this time. I am be ing told It is still a little too early to prune the roses. However, the robins and meadowlarks are out in droves and I am having my pruning shears sharpened. I like my roses pruned as early as pos sible. It Isn't a bit too early to give your lawn the first feeding of bal anced fertilizer. You want the grass to grow vigorous and have ability to choke out the weeds. Weeds are a little more slow to start in spring than grass. A rainy day is a good time to scat ter the fertilizer. , Answers to Questions D. A. Hyacinths which have bloomed inside can te planted out successfully if the foliage is per mitted to mature properly. C. D. Yes, apricots and al monds will both grow here. I know of some almond trees which must be fully 20 years old and which bear each year. Golden Ju bilee is one of the best peaches for a one-tree orchard. South worth apricot is said to be one of the best apricots for the family lot. There are two or three varie ties of quince which are good here: the Champion, a very large, bright yellfiw, and the pineapple, which it is said may be eaten raw and is excellent for jelly. Winter Banana, Yellow Norton, the De licious, and the early Gravenstein are among the best varieties of apples for the single tree or so to be added to the house lot. The Red Siberian is perhaps the best red crabapple with the Hyslop among the best of the yellow. Of gooseberries, if I were only to have two bushes, I would chose Oregon Champions for variety. A. R. Horseradish is a peren nial. One can get plants from friends or purchase "crowns" for ten or fifteen cents. It is easily grown but not so pleasantly pre pared. IC. D. Thyme can be had very reasonably. It Is not difficult to grow and is a perennial. It comes with both golden leaves (lemon scented) and green leaves. You can get it with lavender pink flowers or scarlet flowers. There Is also a variety with white flow ers. W. F. There are several varie ties of mint offered by most grow ers. Perhaps the three most com LTT r.ev rrirULY 1 mon are the peppermint which must have a moist soil and which spreads rapidly; the requleni, dwarf, mint-scented plant which forms a thin mat: and spearmint, used chiefly tor flavoring meats or drinks. - - - - B. N. Grape hyacinths should not be planted, at this time of the year. However, as you had some given you, if you plant them at once, they may even surprise you and bloom this spring. The prop er time to plant the grape hya cinth is in autumn when you are planting tulips and narcissuses. F. N. Christmas Cactus may be started at almost anytime. Bd sure to take the cutting at a Joint. Place it in a mixture of good gar den soil and sharp sand and look to the drainage. Water when planting, and then do not water again until growth starts.. Do not fertilise your Christmas cactus. A little powdered charcoal added to the soil at planting time will do no harm. The Christmas cactus should be reported now if needed. Don't wait until late summer or autumn when the buds will begin to form. About Stamps Hello, Fellow Collectors: Fortunate indeed are those who already have the Mturitis Jubilee set of 1935. In May of that year they sold at 70c and soared up to $12.75 in 1936. There were only 19,960 sets printed, and many of these are now in the hands of large oper ators today.
