Dollars take wings readily enough, but useless purchases may wipe out not only the individual's bank account but his credit rating as well. Goods are subject to the same menace of waste. The farmer stores his harvest for future use, but must look well to his granary. ' ' Let a hole appear in the corner and it will presently be the entrance for a mouse, greedily appreciative of the opportunity for a feast. His brethren will follow, larger rodents may en large the hole and when a few months have passed the owner of the granary will be aghast at the havoc they have wrought. Yet, to a large extent, he has himself to blame that his opera tion has become a failure rather than a success. Deschutes county has a granary of savings potentially available for the coming year. The county's budget makers the members of the county court and the members of the ad visory budget board are the custodians of these savings. For instance, in comparison with the 1940 budgetings, there is no requirement in 1941 for the $3500 needed this year for elections. With the county in its own courthouse, there is the possibility of a $2000 saving in the rent budget. Interest on the warrant debt now $96,711.22, but presumably larger at the end of the current year should be less by $4000 than the amount appropriated for this year. The court house levy of $25,000 will not appear again. The total of these amounts is $34,500 and there are doubt less others which may be added without resorting to payroll trimming and without overlooking the need for efficient opera tion of regularly constituted county offices, adequately equipped and adequately staffed. Through intelligent use of such savings, Deschutes county may provide for a warrant retirement fund of at least $25,000. No levy for this purpose has been made in the last two years. Through further intelligent use of such savings, Deschutes county may also provide for an actual tax reduction of at least $10,000. Taxes have been increasing steadily for years and home owners as well as business men are becoming rather wearied with it all.- These things will not be done if there are holes in the cor ners of the county's granaries. It is well known that there are funds available for next year's budgeting, funds which, conceivably, can be diverted to other purposes. If there are holes, the mice will find them, and the savings well, they will merely cease to be savings. Deschutes county needs these savings. It needs them to pay its debts (which can be done nicely on a three-year pro gram) ; it needs them to reduce the unconscionably high taxes which it has been levying and whiduta people have .been pay ing. : . .. . LOWER BRIDGE "POLYPS" Gradually, as we settle down to business in our new home after the confusion of moving, things we had stowed away for future reference are coming to light One of these is a clipping from the Oregon City Courier under the heading "Vale of Viola" and signed "Z. H." It is of local interest because it deals with a visit to the Lower Bridge diatomite quarry. "To get a good visual idea of the age of this world, one should visit the vicinity of Bend, Oregon," states the Courier correspondent, whose letter is signed "Z. H." "In this vast expanse of upheavals in times long past, where violent erup tions occurred to cover the land for miles in extent with solid lava, and where nature, seemingly, had destroyed every living thing, there lies one of the strangest formations in all the world, six milea in extent and of argonite, white as chalk." The Courier touched on the visit to the Lower Bridge locality, 'brilliant white as glaring as the snow," then attempted to inform folks of Oregon City relative to the nature of this strange deposit. It was described as a polyp formation. Polyps, as we understand them up here in the Central Ore gon highlands, have something to do with marine inverte brates. Sea anemones, hydroids and corals would, we fear, be entirely out of place in Central Oregon when the Lower Bridge formation was deposited. But "Z. H." continued : "Amid the forming of this earth, the heavy upheavals of nature, the forming of chasms and peaks, and all the cata clysms of nature that this country represents, these little crea tures worked quietly and steadily on." The interest of the Courier writer in the Lower Bridge beds is fully appreciated, but, we fear, "Z. H." slightly erred in indicating that the deposits were formed by the accumulated skeletons of polyps. The Lower Bridge beds are of .diatoma ceous earth, and diatoms are microscopic representatives of the world of plants. .

SERIAL STORY This Could Be Your Story BY MARGUERITE GAHAGAN All characters, organizations and incidents of this serial arc en tirely fictitious. a a a Yesterday: While the office searches for the' missing order, Sue Mary feels Vera knows about It. vera does. Miss lirant had given her the order to type, young Ross Clark had come in and she had shoved the order aside until morning. She explains its disap pearanse easily. Sue Mary won ders at Vera's self-assuranee. TWO LOVES NICK AND JOE CHAPTER XII "That one," Kitty said scorn fully, as she was powdering her nose before going home late that afternoon. She stared at Sue Mary In the washroom mirror. . "Of course she had that order. I saw you speak to her and I saw her go in the old man's office with those papers. And I can guess just how surprised she was to discover that they were hunting for that one in particular, and how inno cent she acted. I bet they ate her alibi up: about her being new and strange here. She's a cool number." Kitty pulled her ridic ulous excuse of a hat down over her black curls. "She's smart, but I bet she doesn't make the grade with young Ross Clark." Sue Mary hid her smile. She was glad Kitty was too engrossed with Vera and young Ross Clark to think more about Vera and the paper. That business had upset her more than she had thought. Her head ached and the walk home semed twice as long. She didn't want to go oat that evening, but Joe called. It had been a week since they had had a date and she couldn't refuse now. Once with him she found her self swinging back again to the other side. AU the problems at the office, all the enthusiasms of the YP group somehow seemed triv ial. Joe talked of vacation plans, of the simpler things that had once constituted her whole life. With the war talk, world prob lems, and politics on everyone's lips, Joe's plans for a camping trip up north, his attempts to paint the joys of fishing, and the pressure of his hands on hers when he spoke of the Veek's vaca tion seemed to give the world a different color. "Sue Mary," he said, "some times don't you get tired of work ing in that office, and playing around with fhat crazy outfit? Sometimes don't you think you'd like to get married and have a home of your own? "My Job's safe. At least I think it is, and I'm in a swell depart ment ; there's a future in research. I think we ought to plan on get ting married. "My work is going along swell," he went on earnestly. "Why don't we plan on a wedding and be like other people. We're living alone now and trying to pretend it's fun. Well, I don't think it is. I want you and hope you want me. .Al though sometimes I I sort of feel you find me pretty dull" ' "Oh, no, Joe. It's not that. I care for you." Sue Mary pulled his arm tighter about her. "I feel so safe, and sure of things when I'm with you, but then there's a whole week with time on my hands and what happens? I see other people and my own life seems drab. I want something to happen to me. X don't just want to Flood Wall COPIKtilHT. t Baft, NCA SCKVICC. INC work at the office, come home and sit and read all evening. "I don't think you're dull. After I'm with you I wonder about the others, because what you say is so , sane, so true. And I think I am in love with you but I'm not sure I want to gel married yet. Joe." "And you'll never be sure as long as you play around with those Reds," he said bitterly. "Something will have to wake you up to the fact that they're all phonies. But I don't know what it will be. You see. Sue Mary. I think you are hunting for adventure. . . And I think you believe you're half in love with this Nick." a a a He was going away for a week, so she wouldn't let anything pre cipitate a quarrel. But his words echoed in her mind. Hunting ad venture, believe you are half in love with Nick. She supposed that was the way it would look, and yet, she told herself, this is more than adven ture: working at something that is worth while, helping people my own age who have brains and charm, in a cause they are con vinced is right. . And as for Nick But that al ways left her confused. She tried to believe his attentions were the same with the others, but she couldn't ignore the look in his eyes, the sound of his voice saying her name the way he managed to take her home after the meetings. The next day Sue Mary went to Natalie's after woik. It was hot in the studio bedroom and the girls tied back the faded window drapes to catch the slightest pos sible breath of air. "I'd likq to get out of hen-," Natalie said in her low, husky voice. She was in her white slip with her thick, taffy-colored hair pinned in a knot high on her head. She wiped beads of water from the pitcher and poured Sue Mary a glass of lemonade. "I know where there's a grand apartment," she said, slouching in the chair near the window. "Big rooms and real windows not slits like these, and a view. But I can't afford it alone. "Sue Mary, why don't you move in with me? Heaven knows we'll be working together enough these next few months, with the elec tion coming along and the YP campaign in full swing. I think it would be a grand idea." It came as a surprise to Sue Mary. She looked a bit non -plugged. Natalie was all right. Sue Mary enjoyed working with her, enjoyed listening to her unceasing conversation that ranged from pictures to polities, but she had never considered living with her.

SKPTEMREK "You're stuck in that funny, old fashioned boarding house where (here isn't a soul you know or like. Half the time you're here anyway, with Vera and Nick com ing over to work or talk. We could have fun, a decent place to live and no more expenses than the way it is now." a a a Sue Mary tried to think. She supposed Natalie was right. Her own drab room was simply a place to escuie from where one wasn I sleeping Yet living with Natalie would be a strange experience. She look ed around the room, at the pic tures overflowing on the floor, books streaming from the table, clothes shoved in the closet and the door that never shut: the tiny kitchenet with dirty dishes ever present on the sink. Natalie laughed. "Yes. I know what you're thinking. You're so precise, so tidy, that this must bring horror to your neat little soul. Well, you can straighten up to your heart's content. "Why not try it anyway? I mean sharing an apartment. You won't hurt my feelings if you move when you can't take it any longer." And so it was arranged. They all had a hand in it: Vera packing pictures, records, papers, books, and Nick making endless trips between Natalie's old room. Sue Mary's, and the new apartment. And before she knew how It had been accomplished, they were set tled. She got a thrill out of being able to move about in a room that was more than a cupboard. The twin beds in the bedroom didn't even crowd the space, and the big shiny bath with the deep tub, the shower with, its funny curtain decorated with fantastic fishes, the tiny kitchenet with its com pact drawers, refrigerator and stove-all enchanted her so that she was content Just to stand and stare about her. "Weil proiiably never ec! her out." Natalie told Vera. "She goes around with a dustcloth all even ing shining things, and picking up after me. My clothes have never been hung up before and now I can't find anything. Sue Mary has them where they belong." To Be Continued) FRED A.

YOU, FBECK - taJ'ne my 21, 10-10 Catton's Washington Column By Brue Cation INKA Harvlva Suit l'arraHiuW4tll Washington Although It has leen moi or less lost sight of in the press of more spectacular happenings, the government's drive to i-eestabliah the rubber growing Industry In Latin Amer ica may eventually rata as one of the most Importunt events of the year. Launched as part of tl hemi sphere defense program, the ven ture Is really one which the agri culture detriment has been plug ging for l year. It completed along the lines now projected, it would not merely mean a stra tegically safe source for Uunlted States rubber imort; It would break the Anglo Dutch Kar East ern rubber monoxily and cut l'n cle Sam's annual rubber bill In hair. Incidentally, it would pitibably mean more exports for the 1'nlled States, by vastly Increasing Uitlu America's purchasing power. a a a I'EKKNMAL KKWKST t.KANTF.I) Every year for a long lime the agriculture department ha been asking congress to finance the experimental and research work which must be done before the In dustry can be re-established In the new world." Each year congress has turned the request down. This year, however, the request came up Just after the conquest of Holland, when congress was beginning to worry about the fti tine of the IHitrh at Indies and the Mulay ienlnsula, whence IN) per cent of the I'nlted States rub ber supply now comes. So $!VK),- 1)00 was voted, and the department went to work. Three research expeditions are now In the field: one along the Amaron and two ranging from Colombia to Yucatan. I jx-al gov ernments are chipping in to defray various local exMn.s-s. Keporls from the field expedition won't be ready until some time this win ter. If the war should choke off the existing rubber supply within the next year or so. none of this will be of any use In the emergency. What the expert have In mind I a long range program w hich prob ably couldn't begin to have an effect on the world rubber mar ket for eight or 10 years. a COXT WOt I.I) BE I.OWKKKI) What it could do then, however, would be plenty. British and Dutch grower, se. cure in their monopoly, have let thcmselvc get stuck wilh what industry would call an obsolete plant. Production on their far eastern plantations generally run between 200 and 400 pound per acre. New strains giving much greater yields have been devel oped, but since It takes a good five years to get a new plantation Into production, the far eastern growers have gone along with the old low-yield strains. In the new world, however, the story would be different. Onee the best soil and climate were found, and the proper dtease-rclianl varieties of rubber tree selected, the Latin American plantations could start from scratch with yields of around 1.200 pounds per acre. Best guess right now Is that the Latins could sell profitably at 10 cents a pound as compared with the current level of around 20 cents for the Far East. A good deal of research of new world rubber possibilities has al ready been done chiefly by (iood year, with stations in Costa Rica and Panama, and by Kord, with a plantation In Brazil. Until June the department of agriculture could do little more than keep In touch with what these privately employed experts were doing; now, however, with plenty of money available, It is really get ting to work.
