EGGS LOWER;
BUTTER STEADY
POULTRY FIRM
Portland, Ore., Jan. 21 WP) All
grade of eggs except peewees were
lower today on the local dairy ex
change with quotations a cent low
er on standard and medium extras
and medium firsts, and Vic lower on
standard firsts. Today's quotations
bring both grades of standards
down to 34 cents while both grades
of mediums are 32 cents. Butter
receipts yesterday were 16.830
pounds, while 2478 cases of eggs
came In. Butter prices are un
changed. Supplies on the poultry market
here were fairly cleaned up and
prices were steady and firm In all
divisions. Receipts during the past
week have been sufficient to satis
fy demand but nothing to speak of
has been accumulating. Better de
mand for turkeys than usual at this
season was reported but prices
were steady and reasonable.
Throughout the week the country
dressed meats market has held firm
and dealers and commission men
look forward to similar conditions
next week with probable slight In
creases In prices.
Trading on the wholesale fruit
and produce markets continues
light with prices for the most part
easy and supplies or most commodi
ties plentiful.
Practically no onions were mov
ing as buyers were slow to pay the
growers asking prices. Wholesale
prices to the trade were around
three to 314 cents. ' Onion sets were
offered at seven to eight cents.

Wool Industry Must Make
Organization Efforts That
Will Raise Market Values
Ogden. Utah, Jan. 20. UP) De-
daring that the failure of the wool
Industry to share In the prosperity
of the nation was a "confession of
short-sightedness and Inefficiency."
Frank J. Hagenbarth, president ol
the National Wool Growers asso
ciation has called upon the wool
growers and manufacturers for In
creased cooperation and a readjust
ment within the Industry.
In his annual address before the
association, In convention here
President Hagenbarth said wool
prices In the past two years have
been stagnant or on the decrease,
notwithstanding higher wool prices
abroad and great prosperity In
other industries of the country.
He charged that the grower has
mado his own low value market
through his failure to know world
market conditions and demands,
and pointed to cooperative, orderly
marketing as the remedy.
An agreement among the larger
wool units to curtail production of
standard staple lines would help re
lieve the situation, he said. "A
generally prosperous public should
be made to pay that price for goods
which Is warranted by their pros-
pcrity, which will enable mills to
maintain the American standard of
living and scale of wages and pay a
fair return on mill investment and
overhead," he declared.
President Hagenbarth lauded the
organization of pools to bring wool
selling Into fewer hands and In
larger units as a means of evading
disastrous competition, but asserted
that there were still too many
competitive selling agencies In the
Held.
"Moves are now under way to
combine these numerous competi
tive pools and selling domains un
der one competent marketing
agency," : i added. "Concrete plans
will be submitted for your consider
ation for the marketing of the 1929
clip. This movement contemplates
tne perfection of a national wool
NUT PLANTINGS
INCREASED IN POLK
Dallas, Jan. 21. Filberts and
walnuts .ire being used on many
fruit farms of Polk county for re
placements and also for new acre
age. It has been variously estimated
that there will be some 3000 to 8000
filberts set out In that county alone
and many hundreds of walnuts.
These plants in many cases are re
placing dead prune trees or entire
blocks of prune trees that owners
have pulled out while In other cases
additional acreages are being set
out to these mils trees.
Quite a fe" cherries are also be
ing set out this winter, according
to County Agent J. R. Beck, but
most new planting Is confined to
the nut trees. Borne small areas
of prunes are being removed and
not reset to any trees. Outside of
these changes Interest In fruit and
and nut trees Is rather stable.

science, General Goethols reported
to the congress of the United States
and to the world that his life work
was completed, and that the two
American continent at last wen
separated by a navigable waterway.
General Ooethals was born In
Brooklyn, N. Y. June 29, 1858. His
early education was obtained there
and also In the City College of New
York, following which he was ap
pointed tothe United States military
academy at West Point, where he
was graduated In 1880 as a second
lieutenant In the engineering corps.
From then on his promotion was
rapid until he received In 1915 the
rank of major general. In the mcan
Ime he had been honored with the
degree of I.L. D. from Princeton and
also from the University of Pennsyl
vania. INTERFERENCE IN
AFFAIRS PROTESTED

Specific points are not mentioned

prohibition of Internal Interven
tion Is one of them.

world court at The Hague M a

He said he strongly disapproved
of any move for the establishment
of a Pan-American court for such
arbitration, declaring that such -.
board could only be obtained at
xrcat expense and useless, compar

ready existed with ample facilities.
The Hague court, too, he said,

could never attain because a Pan

of the producers In harmony with
the Capper-Volstead act."
The speaker appealed to members
of the association to combine
against efforts to lower or abolish
the wool tariff. He warned the
growers they would "now have to
face a new menace from that small
but powerful group of International
bankers who have conceived the
brilliant plan of loaning millions to
the armed camps of Europe and
then so maneuvering affairs that
the American people shall repay
their European loans."
"Their plan Is simple," he said.
"Loan the money to Europe and
then lower or abolish the tariff so
that Europe may Invade the Amer
ican market and make repayment
with American money.
"A full knowledge of the actual
condition will convince congress
and the country at large that the
present agricultural tariffs must be
maintained ..nd In some Instances
Increased," he continued.
Hagenbarth reviewed the work ol
the association In securing the wool
and lamb tariffs, safeguarding the
industry's freight rates, and In
building up a system ot credits
through the Intermediate credit
banks for the benefits of the grow
ers. All this, he declared, has been
accomplished at almost negligible
cost to the producers. I
Tijuana On Graves List
Of Favorite Haunts In
Jaunt Thru Sunny South
By GEO. II. GRAVES
San Diego, Cal., Jan. 7, 1928.
This Is the place. It Is wonderful
here, the weather Is beautiful, the
sun has been shining bright and
warm all day and yesterday the
thermometer stood at 80 degrees In
the shade. It does not seem possible
this Is winter. Of all the places I
like best In California Is San Diego,
Coronado and Tijuana, Mexico. I
do not want you to forget that I
am still very fond of lemon pie and
my friends at Santa Ana supplied
me with plenty. That reminds me
that when I retuned from my na
tion wide trip and saw my friend
Hal Patton almost the first thing
he said to me was "George we are
going to have you up to dinner and
have some wonderful lemon pie for
you." That was three years ago and
I am still waiting.
Before my arrival at Santa Ana
I had been looking forward to en-
Joying myself with a young lady, I
had met there three year ago, my
friends had written that she was
still single and what do you suppose
happened. She was married Just
half an hour before my arrival.
At Santa Ana, my friends Intro
duced me to a little black haired.
black-eyed girl, she had the black
est hair I have ever seen. She did
not impress me particularly; but
as I was going to the tournament
ot roses In Pasadena and I had two
Ucketa for the football game, they
wanted me to take her with me.
She wanted to go too, so I took her
for company. She was the worst
dumbell I had ever met. She could
not hold a conversation on any sub
ject, I do not bolle'e she spoke ten
words all day long. Upon our re
turn she even let me get lost In the
city of Snnta Ana, her hovie town.
Leaving her at her home she thank
ed me for the pleasant day she had
spent with me, said she had had
a fine time. Then asked me It I had
had a good time and I do not be
lieve that I ever told a bigger lie
when I said yes.
We attended the tournament of
roses at Pasadena on New Year's
day. It wns a beautiful day, but very
warm, so much so that I took off
my coat. The paper said the parade
was witnessed by 80.000 people. We
drove in from Santa Ana, arriving
at 8:30 drove in on Coronado street
as far as we could and parked the
car, and at that early hour had to
park a m'i from the center of the
town and congratulated myself on
finding a parking place. At that
hour the curbs of the streets were
lined with people waiting for the
parade. Intended buying a scat in
one of the grand stands, bu'. when 1
asked the price of the scats and was
told they were 330 each, $6 60 for
two, I walked right on. I came to a
rhurch with an elevated lawn In
front, here they had chairs, I asked
the price of them and was told they
could not charge tor them, but that
I could contribute what I wished.
I asked what was customary and
he said about a dollar, so I handed
him one dollar and took two chairs.
There we sat for nearly three, hours
waiting for that parade. In the
meantime a woman who said her
age was 83 took r. seat next to this
little dumbell of mine. Now she was
some conversationist. She was very
young for her age, told us all about
herself and how many pies and
cakes she had made the previous
day and I reminded her of the fact
that I like lemon pie. I had to do
the talking for my party. Then
came the parade. Irad by Governor
Young of California, followed by
3000 bandsmen, 100 floats with a
grand compliment of 600 pretty
rrlrls and 200 cowgirls and cowboys.
The Beverly Hills winning creation.
"The Kingdom of Paradise." was a
floral masterpiece of surpassing
splendor. The float was a mammoth
peacock In a doren hues, the
"queen," the prettiest rkl In the
Tleverly Hills high school, occupied
the queen'e throne, and at her feet
two ladles In waiting and at the
back of the throne seen only from
Uie rear was the third lady In wait
ing. The queens throne was flanked
by the sweep of the tall of tills
mammoth peacock, the features of
which turned, each on Its own axis.
to reveal the colors hidden within.
BUCKLES HEADS
FOR NEW YEAR
Officers of Hal Hlbbard camp No.
5, Spanish American war veterans,
were Installed this week with the
auxiliary special guests at a 7 o'
clock dinner In the veterans' room
at the armory. Lee A. Hurst, of Al
bany, department commander, and
his wife were special guests while
Commander Hurst acted as lnstal
ling officer.
New officers of the camp are E.
E. Buckles, commander; W. E. Han
sen, senior vice-commander; Fran'
els Welch, junior vice-commander:
John Bertelson, adjutant;. A. Tyner
wooipert, quartermaster; H. C.
Sammons, trustee for three years:
E. J. Raymond, chaplain; Arthur
Glrod, officer of the day; William
r. Barrett, olticer of the guard:
John Seymour, senior color ser
geant and R. E. Horn, Junior color
sergeant.
Following the Installation a short
program of music and readings
was offered, with the C. C. trio
giving Instrumental selections; E.
J. Crary comic readings; selections
by a camp quartet, composed of
O. J. Hull, C. J. Lisle, R. O. Chur
chill and E. J. Raymond. A picture,
"The battle of San Juan Hill" was
presented the camp by T. O. Harris,
O. A. R. of McNabb, I1L, H. O.
Miller making the presentation.
John Seymour, camp cook, was as
sisted by a kitchen squad composed
or comrades Thompson, Walcher,
and Lisle.
The approach tc the throne, the
step and floor vas made of pink
and yellow roses (but not to be
compared with the kind you see In
Oregon), the rays were made of a
solid mass of sweet peas. The
queen's robe was made of lilies of
the valley, faced down the front
with orchids. Tills float won first
prize although I thought It should
have gone to Glendale, a dragon.
85 feet long, mounted on two trucks,
the body swinging from side ot side,
whose smoke-spouting nostrils be
lied the rainbow patterns of Its
hide. Its rose-tipped claws swung to
the curb lines on each side of the
street and its body writhed In time
to the Glendale band clad In Chi
nese costumes. Red Hadley roses
formed the mouth, white carnations
the teeth and Cecil brur.ner roses
the eyes, roses violets, smllax and
maiden hair fern formed the head,
corn flowers and violets the horns.
The Portland rose festival. Inc.,
had a float. I would call It an en
try, In fact I would not call It that.
It was nothing. I was so ashamed
of It that I was glad when It had
gone past. I had said so much to
the group of people standing around
me about the Portland rose festival
that I never felt so small and so
cheap when that thing loomed up.
I will not attempt to describe It,
there was nothing to describe.
It was a beautiful parade but
I do not believe it compares to the
one held In Portland. They haven t
the flowers.
After the parade we made for the
Rose Bowl to attend the big foot
ball game between the east and the
west Stanford and Pittsburg. The
Jam of automobiles was terrible. I
only had a mile and a half to drive
and although I started an hour be
fore the commencement of the
game, I did not get there until after
the first quarter had been played
and as I had paid ten dollars for
two seats, I was anxious to get my
money's worth. It was not an In
teresting game from a spectator's
standpoint. Each side made a touch
down on a fumble and Stanford
kicked through goal and won the
game The bowl was not full, al
though there were probably 55.090
people there. It seems that every
year they keep boosting the prices
until the people refuse to pay It. As
there seemed to be no way of get
ting to the bowl excepting by auto
mobile, you can Imagine thi num
ber of automobiles that surrounded
that bowl, and they all wanted to
get out at once. The bowl Is located
in a hollow, and you have to climb
up a narrow street to get out. three
abreast. The man In the car behind
me kept continually bumping me.
I was getting pretty sore about It.
until I pulled up as far as I could
and went back with a bang Into his
car. He did better after that. It was
dark before I go out of there and
then went to see the decorated
Christmas trees. You know how the
tree on the lawn of the court house
at Salem is lighted up at Christmas
time. Well, there was a mile of
them on both sides of a street The
trees were 80 feet high and 40 feet
wide, decorated with colored elec
tric lights. Tills street Is on a down
grade, so you enter at the top, put
out all lights -id I Just coasted
down, using the car ahead for a
brake. Then we started on the re
turn trip to Santa Ana. 32 miles and
that little dumbell could not assist
me at all to find the way back. I
passed through so many small
towns, In fact It seems to me as
though I was going through one
town all the time. I came to four
comers, time after time, boulevard
alter boulevard and It seems to me
I stopped 500 tunes to Inquire the
way. I read the sign boards but I
could not find one that said Santa
Ana and that was the one I was
looking for all the time, and even
when I got Inside the city limits
that little dumbell let me come in a
dirt rood. Anyway making those 32
miles I traveled 44.
From San:a Ana I drove do-
here, making the 98 miles In two
hours and five minutes. It was a
beautiful drive, over good roads,
through oranxe troves and along
the ocean and I enjoyed It more
than any drive since leaving home.
There they have what Is called a
Rapid auto laundry. As my car was
dirty after a weeks rain decided tc
have It washed nad I sure found
out the laundry was well named be'
cause It took Just 18 minutes to
wash it and the charge was one
dollar and fifty cents. That seems
hardly possible. The car Is run on
to a moving conveyor and It comes
out at the other end washed. As
soon as the car goes on to the con
veyor four men with a hose wash
the car, one man Jumps inside and
washes the windows, another on ar
elevated platform with a long nan
died brush washes the top, then
four more men blow off the sur
plus water with air, then two men
with vacuum cleaners clean the In
side of the car and the upholstery,
and then the car Is passed along
to the men with the chamois skins
and then to the men with the
cheese cloth and the Job Is com
pleted. There were probably 100
cars there to be washed when I
drove up. They employ 50 car wash
ers and twice a day the bell rings
and the men stop five minutes to
smoke. The proprietor told me he
opened up the business last May
and up to date they had washed
23.500 cars.
Some friends from Coronado
took me to Tijuana, Mexico, the
Mrs. said she would make some
sandwiches and take them with us.
and eat them there with beer. We
drove down the Uilver Strand, stop
ped at a farm house. As it was
in the shade I remarked to the
farmer, it must be awful warm here
in the summer months. "Oh! not
so warm, a man died here lost sum
mer and went to hell and he had
not been there long when he sent
back for his overcoat." Here is an
other. A Chinaman's wife had given
birth to a boy, the Chinaman told
a friend he was going to name him
Lindbergh. Why name him Lind
bergh that is not a Chinese name?
I'm not going to name him Lind-
berg. I name him "One Big Hop."
On the way we passed through some
farm land owned by Jackie Coogan.
It seems they are selling It off for
chicken ranches, five dollars down
and five dollars monthly.
Well, after an Interesting drive
of 18 miles we arrived at the boun
dary line, passed the government
officials, then went to a private
home, friends of my friends, sat
around a large table with a bottle
of Ice cold beer before each of us
and then made use of those sand
wiches. I had forgotten that it was
possible for sandwiches to taste
so good. Gee, I felt so good, I do
not know when I have been so hap
py, it seemed as though I had just
gotten out of Jail, the freedom
seemed wonderful. Then they took
me to visit the 106 saloons In Tijua
na. I had another beer, then an
other and finally had to say I do
not care for any more (safety first)
as I did not care to go to Jail where
all Intoxicated drivers go. The Mex
ican Jail Is a place where everyone
wants to stay shy of, they all fear
It: there's no fooling with the Mex
ican authorities, In you go and
there you stay and when you try
to explain to a Mexican policeman,
it's the time when he docs not un
derstand English. The jail Is Just
one large cage, no beds, no chairs.
you sit and sleep on the cement
floor.
I was surprised how orderly ev
erything Is at Tijuana, how well po
liced it is. I didn't see one intoxicat
ed person the many times I was
there, or anything rough or rowdy.
Two policemen to a block walk up
and down in the street guarding the
parked cars. No one ever steals any
thing on account of that Jail. I was
told there has not been a holdup In
Tijuana for ten years.
One saloon I was in the fixtures
cost $100,000. another had a bar 24?
feet long. Most of the saloons have
dance floors and orchestras. They
pay license according to the amount
of business they do. The dance halls
are very orderly, they have a good
looking American girl who parades
on the dance floor and sings, but
wherever they have an American
girl they must employ a Mexican
girl also. The Mexican government
seems to protect their citizens. If
the orchestra consists of six pieces.
three of them must be Mexicans. If
a saloon has ten bartenders, five of
them must be Mexicans, and so It
Is with everything.
On last Labor Day there were
75.000 cars In Tijuana and 175.000
people and the gambling houses
took in $185,000. I lost a few dollars
on the gambling wheel and then
quit, for I know enough not to play
another man's game.
A funnv thing happened to me, I
do not know how It happened, but
I do know what you will all think.
I parked my car In the hot sun, for
got to shut of the Ignition, went
away and left It. and when I return
ed two hours later the engine was
still running. Was it not I I would
say so. just boiling that's all.
When returning to tne united
States the government official at
the border stopped me, looked into
my car and askr 1 mc If I was bring
anything back from Mexico and I
said no. and allowed me to proceed.
I thought how easy It would be for
me to bring a bottle, but It would
not be so easy at that because If he
looked straight into my eye, as they
do, he certainly would know It, so
I took no chances. Am about ready
to start home, so If anything hap
pens on the return trip, shall write
you one more letter.

SHORTAGE OF
FRANQUETTES
There Is a marked shortage of
Oregon franquettes on the local
market with buying and retail prices
showing a steady advance. Recent
purchases In small amounts have
been made at 22 cents with some re
ports as high as 24 cents for top
grades.
Most of the pre-Christmas sales
went at 18c and 20c with the great
share of the crop disposed of.
Nut growers are working over their
orchards In preparation for Febru
ary cultivation which will probably
be underway within a month. Very
few trees except weak grafts were
injured by the recent cold snap
which caused considerable worry for
a few days. The mantle of snow
offered enough protection to ward
off damaging frost-kill in most cases.
The demand for franquettes will
be higher in the coming season ac
cording to indications now. Califor
nia growers were left In many cases
with a 50 per cent surplus of small
grade nuts which will not affect the
Oregon market.

the evitable result
of thrift is inde-

It would be dif

practiced thrift.
Thrift is a habit and every effort
to get people to practice thrift Is a
public service.
NEW YORK-PARIS
POSTAL PLANNED
Paris Fast 48 hour postal
service from Paris to New York,
at SO cents a letter, looks like a
solution of the transatlantic air
problem to the French aeronautic

ably on that basis, as a commence
ment. Twenty government air bureaus,
all over the world, It Is said, are
working on long distance aerial ser
vice and France, like other count
ries, has its plans.
An 13 ton airship, that would car
ry 12 passengers to New York for
a $2,000 fare and freight at $8 a

possible at the Bermudas, in 45
