If the proper amount of ! money were spent for such dairy products, more than three million men would be put to work permanently.

Warning members against liquor advertising, she accused liquor Interests of attempting to win over country -newspaper edi tors by means of advertising con tracts. As to the future of the temper ance campaign, Mrs. Smith de clared that "unless we rise now to attack the liquor trade, It will 4 grow ever stronger.

MclSary Boom Promises Colorful State Primary By PAUL W. HARVEY, JR. Associated Press Staff Writer When Governor Sprague started Senator McNary's pres idential boom two weeks ago, the most colorful primaries in Next May Oregonians will men presiueuuai nominees, ana me eyes oi uie nation Will be on the Beaver state for an indication as to what the coun try wants. O On tbe democratic side, former Governor Charles H. Martin will be leading the fight in behalf of Vice-President Garner, while Wil lis Mahoney, former Klamath Falls mayor who has been defeat ed by Martin. McNary and US Sen ator Ruf us Holman, will be at the head of the Roosevelt forces. But on the republican half of the ticket there will be the name of a favorite son Charles L. Mc Nary. Now senate leader of the re publican party, he has been in the upper house since 1917. Opposing him may be Senator Taft of Ohio, Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, and District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey of New York City. However, Oregon republican leaders don't think that McNary will be nominated by the republi can convention next summer. Ore gon has only five electoral votes out of 531, whereas presidential nominees nsuallyxcome from states which have more influence . The object in pledging Oregon's republican delegation to McNary is to give this state some "bargain ing power" at the convention. A state pledged to a favorite son al ways is in a better strategical po sition that one pledged to an out sider. If the favorite son doesn't get any place, that state is wooed and courted by the camps of the lead ing contenders. Sometimes such a state gets major political rewards, such as a vice-presidential nomin ation. This really is what McNary's supporters are angling for. State Representative C. C. Chap man of Portland, a republican who publishes the Oregon Voter, warns people not to belittle McNary be cause he's a local man. Chapman asks "shall we sneer at our own native ton merely because he has been one of us all the years?" Senator Holman, although dis appointed because he didn't get the first chance to throw McNary's hat In the .ring, also got on the bandwagon, while several other senators agreed McNary would be a good candidate. Republican state officials also thought it was a good idea. And speaking ot the primary 2 Miles North of Independence v ; with TOrjr.IIE - ' A 10-Piece Sweet-Swing Band Admission 25c ' Clft ESERj'i'II the side ot the .British Lion in raids Gets 75-Year Pin was made before 400 state Masons lodge at Hollister, first ever held he assured Oregon of one of history. decide whom they want for next May, there will be several other Important races. State Treas urer Walter E. Pearson, a demo crat, and Attorney General I. H. Van Winkle, a republican who has served for 19 years, will face re- nomination. Chief Justice John L. Rand and Justice George Rossman will be before the voters again, as well as all three congressmen, 13 circuit judges, 25 district attorneys, all GO state representatives and 15 of the 30 state senators. As far as getting control ot the legislature is concerned, it doesn't make much difference whom the democrats nominate. Republicans now control the senate 22 to 8. They have 13 hold overs, so they need to elect only three senators to retain -a major ity. And some of the contests will be in districts that haven't elected a democrat since the year oz tne blue snow. The democrats have only two holdovers while six democratic senators will be up for renomln- ation. In the house, the republicans lead 46 to 13. Only a democratic landslide could change the situa tion there, but a landslide in the opposite direction last election put the republicans firmly in tbe sad dle in the lower body. Capitol Sidelights: Governor Sprague is puzzled over the oppo sition to his "plan" to provide re tirement pensions for state em ployes. He hasn't even submitted any plan, and all he did was to ap point a committee to study the idea. . . . We asked Supreme Court Clerk Arthur S. Benson why the court was hearing so few crimin al cases this fall. He answered "either the criminals are finding that crime doesn't pay, or they aren't getting caught. . . A lead ing candidate for state banking superintendent didn t get the Job because he threatened the bank ers for not endorsing him. He told them he would get revenge when he was appointed. So,- the banking board crossed his name oft the list.

If, in the future, the fund drops below the reserve determined nec essary by the commission,' the commission may spread the ben efits by reducing the amount of benefits paid, increase the waiting period or by some other method. Officials said this condition could happen only in event of a serious and extended general depression. Although the determination is not required by law until the end of 1939, the commissioners said they thought action should be tak en within a reasonable time. The necessity for the early hearing was not urgent, they declared, for the reason there has been a grad ual Increase in the fund since June of 1938 when it reached the low of approximately $4,900,000.

Silver Describes Parole System Assistant Officer Speaks to Local Retail Credit Body Oregon's new parole system was explained by Joseph R. Sil ver, assistant parole officer, at a meeting of the Salem Retail Credit association yesterday noon at the Argo hotel. "This is not just in experiment in parole," he told the group "The law was patterned after similar laws in effect in other states which are far beyond the experimental stage." The purpose of parole, he said, Is to bridge the gap between pri son routine and release to make the period of readjustment easier. It Is not a pardon nor an allow ance for good behavior, but mere ly a part of the prisoner's time served out of the penitentiary un der the supervision of authori ties. "Ninety-seven per cent of all who go into the penitentiary will be released, and parole, where It is adequately administered and supported, is the most successful method of release," Silver said.

Mice. It looks like we could rest on the laurels of the past with a show like we had last Saturday. It was a good show, I think you'll admit, and ev erybody had a lot of fun. We hope to do the same for you this week. MMC On last week's show we had two members of the regular gang. They were Betty Severn, the Bea Wain of Mickey Mouse, and Eileen Fisher, our little "South American Way" girl. Also a newcomer in our midst, Gertrude Shaw who thrilled us with the dulcet tones of the Harmonica with "Mountain Music" in the key ot G. Those other sterling performers, who to gether made for a good show last Saturday, were Marjorie Tucker, and Sally Terril whom we hope to see and hear again soon. MMC Also, last week Mr. Rick, the assistant manager, broached the subject bt a bigger and better show, the first plans of which are being laid out now. Now, all of you Mice who are interested in singing in a chorus, dancing in a group, or in a dramatic club should be down this morning at rehearsal and see me, so we can formulate plans. MMC For our show this week, we have a friend known to all of you high school students, one Fred Andrews (one is enough) who is going to sing a little ditty of some kind, and I think he has In mind the "Jumpin Jive." Also, one you received so well some time ago. Miss Leontine Lebold. At the time of this writing, she was undecided as to what she would sing, but whatever It is she'll turn out a sterling performance and one which all of you will enjoy. One of the highlights of the program, though, is the VFW Clown band. Most of the members ot this or ganization are high school stu dents and most ot you know them. They're! a swell bunch of fellows and they can put on an act which will really slay you. Ton have as much idea as I do about what they have in mind for the show but It'll be worth coming down to see. MMC You'll get a lot ot excitement and suspense out of the screen bill on today's show as well as a lot ot laughs Its really a big show. You'll have a guilty conscience If you let your friends miss this, so come on down and bring your friends with you. Don't forget the serial, the third chapter of which THROUGH TUESDAY! '?
