and flavors it all with a homely
touch of reminiscing and casual
philosophy. '
"The month of May gave us
one nice day," M. Petersen starts
out on hi weekly roundup. "We
need more like that, otherwise it
will leave us flat."
He tells about the editor of the
Sheridan Sun calling on M. Peter
sen (M. Petersen always refers
to himself in the third person)
and tells about Ches Mailer -of
Charleston wanting to rent a
truck farm.
"C. A. Temple of Portland
sent os religious literature, 'Is
Man Immortal,' n he chronicle.
"The caterpillars are with us
also. A serious pest. I remem
ber one year, 1901, when paint
ing Tom Davis barn in North
Plains, my paint was half cater
pillars." And M. Petersen doesn't mind
putting in a personal plug once
In a while. He writes: "M. Peter
sen has 1360 acres tor sale at
12 dollars per acre on highway.
Also some tracts at 10 per acre."
Later on he writes, "M. Petersen
is also a notary public."
Then M. Petersen advises his
readers to laugh and grow fat.
"Let all of us laugh more,' he
advises. "Let the gladness of. your
heart bubble up once in a while."
"Petersen baked his first loaves
of bread last Sunday, 8 S . years
old. Bud r Johnson of - Sheridan
took one loaf home.". A week
later M. Petersen is more ambi
tious with his baking and writes,
"Friday May 10t M. Petersen bak
ed seven smaU'Ioaves of bread and
seven 'round " coffee cakes, using
Maca yeast .said recipe."
Recipes are news to M. Pe
tersen and he tells that "a
bucket of water, 1 pint of
course salt and 1 pint of un
packed lime will keep eggs
fresh for a long time In a cool
place."
M. Petersen i chronicles that his
granddaughter, Barbara, will
graduate from Baker high school,
that Mr. and Mrs. Ed Ebner of
Mt. Angel called at Petersen's for
a honey locust tree, that Mrs. M
Petersen had a fairly good day
Sunday, and that M. Petersen be
lieves peeling onions is good . for
the eyes. "
M. Petersen reports an accident
and reports it well and then re
lates that "George Jones, our jo
vial shoemaker, 'is making many
friends. He has - two gas pumps.
He buy 8 fern tips. He is a brick
layer and carpenter. Busy from
morning till late at night.
Mr.- Petersen is happy, .to see
the Salmon River- cutoff b u lit.
"Mr. , Petersen T had- a r surprise

writes. ?'Wbat a bustle -of ; work

New Taxes to Pay Costs
; Hinted When Martin
Raises Question
WASHINGTON, May 20-JP)
The' RFC offered its credit fa
cilities to industries which, lack
capital for expansion necessitated
by the national defense program
today, while from a conference of
aircraft manufacturers came of
ficial. word that for the present
at least they needed no help.
Jesse Jones, the . RFC chair
man, issued a statement saying
his agency was ready to cooperate
with the banks in making secured
loans for national defense pur
poses, by. taking 75 per cent of
such , loans . or underwriting 75
per cent, leaving the bank car
rying 25 per cent of the advance.
After ; conferring ; with the na
tion's principal aircraft builders
in a hurriedly- summoned session
Secretary Morgenthau told re-
porters the industry had '-suffi
cient capital, and enough skilled
workers to meet the present den
mands of the defense situation
without' sacrificing' labor stanf
dards.
The development came as a
surprise to some officials - who
had been' discussing the possi-
hlllty of RFC loans for the pur
pose of building additional plant
capacity, or of having the gov
ernment build new plants direct
ly, retain ownership, and lease
them to private builders. This
possibility apparently remained
in the lflng-range picture.
