O. Boyer. Increased cost of operating the poor farm was accounted for in part. It was shown, by the fact that the number of inmate days rose from 6320 in 1938 to 6418 in 1939, bnt analysis of ths In crease also showed a slight rise In the cost per inmate day for the institution from 90.01 cents In 1938 to 90.37 cents last year. Total cost of board for 1939 at the poor farm amounted to $4, 272.98 In 1939, as compared to $3327.93 during the year preced ing. Medical coats came down to $247.13 from $324 In 1938. The number of prisoner days In the county jail showed a re duction comparable to the In crease of Inmate days at ths poor farm, sine the number was 6838 In 1938 as compared to 5307 last year. Cost per prisoner day jump ed, however, from 67.4 cent In 1938 to 76.2 cents last year. Members of tho county court pointed out yesterday that the costs at the Jail and the poor farm could hardly he called commen surate, since certain administra tive charges are made against the poor farm and not the Jail, and the two Institutions differ significantly in Inmates and con ditions. .Easy Now-1 OLYMPIA, Jan. 1 7.-i?VFellow anglers' eyes popped wide open as Al Perkins, Olympla fisherman, drew two salmon out on one line.

He had Just begun to fight. Hsrrassed by debt, threat ened on every side, he would not even think of defeat. For defeat meant more than the loss of the rancho; it meant heartbreak to his aunt, it meant the death of all Lola's hopes; it meant defeat for Alison as well. And at thought there formed against the blackness of the night the pictured image of two faces Alison and Lola. Alison with her small boyish head and straight forward eyes; Lola with that childlike smile of hers, softer and more yielding. Each In their diverse ways so deeply a part of his daily living. Within the past months Alison had' become his staunchest ally, the very soul of quiet, unswerving courage. And yet his aunt was right. Just as the rancho was part of his very life, so was Lola a part. She was under his protection; Alison Neale was of another world. More clear ly than erer Douglas realized that a wall of responsibilities and of loyalties had been built up about him and could never be put aside. Miracle Mesa and the people of Miracle Mesa had their first im perious call' upon him more than ever now, surrounded by unknown enemies -and menaced from with in. His thoughts flashed back to Bodine he saw again that In sinuating hand on Lola's should er, and again he frowned Into the night's blackness. Yes, his aunt had been right. He would talk with Lola In the morning.

A student of the international relations of the far east, Norton will seek to analyze and to esti mate the political forces at work in China, and to clarify the Issues at stake In the current Slno-Jap-anese conflict. The son of a former Portland newspaper man, Norton spoke re cently before a business and pro fessional group in Portland under the auspices of the Chinese asso ciation of that city. At that time he declared that "China at the present time Is win ning on both the militsry and ec onomic fronts. The high point of Japan's offensive power was reached last summer wltn tho failure of the drive against Changsha, in the middle of China on the central plains. "Japan is unable to strike deep into the heart of China with her offensives, but can only hit at the rim. These coastal offensives are very showy, bnt cannot affect the ultimate outcome. The main Chi nese forces have been withdrawn intact into interior provinces ringed with mountains where Jap an's mechanized equipment can't go. Norton has also asserted that "Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek expects to be back in Nanking be fore the beginning of 1942. He may get there in a year and a half; his army has been estima ted to be as high as 2.000.000 men, ..."
