ter market. Likewise for prints
and for butterfat. In the east stor
age stock Is under' severe depres
sion. Weather conditions continue the
chief factor In the market for fresh
eggs. No change in the local price
Is shown and general conditions
throughout the country appear more
or less of steady character.
With continued weakness In the
market for turkeys, trade In live
chickens Is Inclined to show more
or less easiness. There was no
further change In the price for
the day.
While by no means general, sales
of country killed. lams were made
at a dime a pound for the day.

stuff which must quickly find a
home. General lamb market is in
bad shape with arrivals continued
on a liberal scale.

FLORIDA GIRL
ARE HEALTHIEST
Chicago ("i The healthiest girl
in the United States, as reckoned
by the Four-H club annual congress.
Is 17 years old, weighs 129 pounds,
stands 5 feet 4' Inches In her med
ium heel shoes, lives In Eustis. Lake
county, Florida and her name Is
Florence Smock.
Harold Ueatline, 18. of Morgan
county, Ind is the healthiest boy,
the congress decided. Botll Miss
Smock and Dcatllne were chosen
from a group of 28 state champions.
Deatline Is 5 feet 8 inches tall,
weighs 150 pounds, has broad shoul
ders and Is strong muscled because
of "plenty of good, hard work" on
his father's farm.
Miss Smock thought that perhnps
she was healthy because of "Flori
da sunshine and oranges;" but with
the sunshine and oranges went reg
ular hours, ten hours sleep, and
plenty of exercise.
The "healthiest girl" swims, danc
es and occasionally "has dates," she
said, but nine o'clock Is bedtime
every night, Just as 7 a.m. is "get
ting up time." Florence uses no
rouge nor lipstick but has rosy
cheeks, she is a senior life saver in
the Red Cross and has been in the
Four-H club wo;-k two and one-half
years, specializing In home improve
ment, nutrition and health.
The boy champion has been out
of hih school a year and Isn't sure
about college. He doesn't smoke nor
does he care for dancing or "gad
ding about.' For recreation he goes
hunting and fishing sometimes, but
for exerct'e he works on his father's
farm near Martinsville, Ind.

STOCK MARKET
CLOSES STRONG
GAINS GENERAL
New York fP Stock prices made
further recovery In Wednesday's
market under the leadership of the
public utilities, but waves of sell
?i nswept over the market at inter
vals and cut down some of the
gains.
Trading- was again on a broad
scale, with the ticker running a few
minutes behind the market.
Careful perusal of the president's
message to congress brought heavy
buying into several of the high
grade Issues at tl.e opening but this
was offset to some extent by sell
ing inspired by the Soviet govern
ment's brusque response to Ameri
can peace proposals in the far east.
The day's business news was
mixed in character. Announcement
of another series of "Christmas
dividends," and a further easing of
credit conditions stimulated some
buying. The demand for the public
utilities received considerable im
petus Irom a revival of merger ru
mors involving American Water
works, Columbia Gas and other
large power and light properties.
Aviation shares and an assort
ment of miscellaneous Issues, in
cluding merchandise, tobacco and
high priced utility stocks, moved
upward in the final hour. Colum
bian Carbon extended its advance
to 18 points, Detroit Edison to 10
and General Electric to 8. Gains
of 3 to S points were common. Unit
ed Aircraft, Wright Aero, and Ben
dix rose about 5 points each. The
close was strong, sales approximat
ing 4,100.000 shares.

tlon earns her salary nnd earns
it well. The county has no airr-ncy
such as the AJaoclatrd Charities
doing similar class of work. It col
lects no funds except what are
paid to it for poor work throuah

no clothing, does no nursing work
among the poor such as our secre
tary Is often called on to do: sorts
no'quantities of vegetables and In
numerous ways Its class of service
Is very distinct, from that done by
our organization. The work done
by the county Is wonderful, but it
falls In a different class. I repeat,
I would be glad to have the county
do It. It would be right that every
one pay through a tax for this
class of work. But It Is not done and
so far our organization Is the one
that meets n unfilled need. I
would be in the vanguard to have
this work done at county expense
and be glad to shed my share of
the burden. But so far no provision
Is made for It and until some sort
of provision is made we will func
tion for the sick, newly, distressed
and unemployed regardless of criti
cism or statements which are not
pertinent to the situation."

TREATMENT OF
STOCK PAYS IS
. PRIMA'S WORD
Dallas At a meeting of the live
stock owners at the Oak Point
;chool house, T. J. Primas made the
following statement :
"My stock Is In better condition
this fall than the were before I
began treating them for Intestinal
parasites."
Primas' flock was one of a group
for which tests were run in a sur
vey conducted by County Aeent J.
R. Beck. It was found that the
sheep had round-worms in com
mon with all but one of the flocks
so examined, and treatment was
recommended. Treating and diag
nosing of stomach worm trouble
was one of th? topics at the re
cent series of livestock meetings
held at Gold Creek, Oak Point and
Pedee.
Other live stock men present at
the Oak Point meeting brought out
the fact that some farmers are
pasturing their alfalfa too heavy
and too late In the fall. Serious
damage was predicted. R. W. Ho?g
& Sons Is a farm firm that is gath
ering Information r?garding the
pasturing of rheep and goats on
alfalfa, in preparation to making
seeding for their flock. Hogg
raised alfalfa In Nebraska and he
stated that he was afraid of bloat.
which Is constantly a factor in pas.
turing alfalfa, but so far very little
has shown up In Polk countv. H.
A. Lindgren, live stock specialist of
the college, stated that it is always
a good practice to have a trocar
handv for acute easel.
Beck advised th live stock men
that they might have the manure
of sheep or goats ln?p?cted if they
suspect the animals of having para
sites.
Lindgren showed a new instru
ment for castrating lambs that op
erates without loss of blood, which
Is particularly advantageous where
the flys are bad. In using this
instrument no tissue Is cut and
nothing is removed. The cord is
severed without breaking the skin.
Th average farm in the Willam
ette valley allows about 1H acres of
grass pasture per sheep and about
1-10 acre of rape pasture per year.
Then in addition It requires about
30 pounds of grain and 30 pounds
of hay per ewe each year. Lind
gren gives these figures as a re
sult of a study of sheep raising in
western Oregon:
The average income from wool is
$2.80 and from lamb It is $7.50.
The total expense of handling and
feeding a ewe for the season is
$9.95, with allowances made for
taxes, labor, depreciation, etc. Thus
there is a clesr profit which isn't

INTERFERENCE FELT
TO BE NOT FRIENDLY
(Continued from page 1
by mutual consent should take
upin themselves such a riht."
Prior to publication of the mem
orandum announcement was made
that plenipotentiaries of the Mas
cow and Mukden provincial gov
ernments, conferring at Nikolsk
Ussuriisky, a few miles north of
Vladivostok, had signed a protocol
reorganizing the administration of
the disputed Chinese Eastern rail
way in conformity with the treat
ies of 1924.
The view was taken in the Mos
cow memorandum, which was to be
forwarded to ParLs and Washing
ton, that the American note came
at a time when some conditions of
the negotiations already had been
agreed upon. "In view of this fact,'
the memorandum said: "The dec
laration cannot but be considered
unjustifiable pressure on the ne
gotiations and cannot therefore be
token as a friendly act."
The Russian memorandum to
Washington contained about "700
words, in English translation, and
in Its first paragraph protested
that the Soviet government "unlike
other powers has never resorted to
military action except as a neces
sory step for defense due to direct
attack on the Union or armed In
tervention In its internal affairs.
"The Soviet government had pur
sued this policy consistently and in
tends to pursue it independently of
the Paris pact for abolition of war."

tonishment and vigorous, if unof
ficial denial greeted the charge of
Soviet Russia that unfriendly mo
tives lay behind American efforts
to prevent warfare between the
Soviet Union and China.
Awaiting receipt of the Russian
memorandum, forwarded through
French diplomatic channels, gov
ernment officials studied the text
of the communication as transmit
ted by press correspondents and in
formally expressed complete sur
prise and amazement at the sever
ity of Its tone and the harshness
with which it criticized the action
of the United States in calling at
tention to commitments under the
Kellogg treaty for the renuncia
tion of war.
In this connection, they singled
out the passage asserting that this
step of the American government
could not "be taken as a friendly
set" In view of the progress of ne
gotiations with the Mukden provin
cial government of Manchuria for
a direct settlement of the dispute
over the Chinese Eastern railway,
the eontrovery which gave rise to
the Sino-Russian crisis.
President Hoover and Secretary
Stimson were informed of the Rus
sion response to" America's prace
proposals Tusday night but togeth-
er with other high officers of the
administration declined to comment
Subordinate officers of the state
department, however, mere not hes
itant about speaking their opinion
of the new turn in the Sino-Russian
situation. Wonder was expressed as
to how the Governments effort to
mobilize the public opinion of the
world in opposition to war in the
Orient and to remind China and
Russia of their treaty commitments
could be construed as other than
purely in the interest of peace.

BARRING OF VARE
DEBATED IN SENATE
(Continued from page 1
case before the senate, defending
the expenditure of $785,000 by his
ticket in the primary campaign as
necessary.
"I come before you," he said,
"with the honest conviction that
over three years a?o I was regular
ly, legally and honestly nominated
and elected by the people of Penn
sylvania as their representative in
the United States senate.
For fifteen years I sat as !
member of the lower house of con
gress. There was never a reflection
on my character or the sen-ice I
renderer! tn mv rountrv and mv con
stituents. During ail of my politi-
cal career, I have never been ac
cused of any crime."
Vare said the expenditures of his
ticket in the republican primary
were about one third of those of
his principal opponent.
When Vare concluded and took
his seat, Senator Reed, who has
been the sole representative in the
senate from the Keystone state for
the last three years, delivered a
vigorous denial or tne cnarne 01
Norris that the 1926 election "reek
ed with corruption."
The evidence before the elections
committee about to report on the
contest of Wilson. Reed said, did not
bear out the Wilson charges of
fraud and corruption. Th charges
by Norris that Vare's forces sptr
$785,000 to win the election. Reed
asserted, "intentionally Ignores tne
fact that that is the aggregate sum :
of campaign expenses of a very con
iderable ticket." :
Senator Wheeler, democrat, Mon
tana, said he realized that the Vare
machine in opposing the "Mellon
machine" in the 192 primary was
called upon to meet a similarly
great outlay of money and "fight an
organization probably as corrupt as
the Vare machine.
Contending that more motley was
spent in twenty states in the elec
tion last year than had been spent
in Pennsylvania in 1926 when Vare
was running, Reed cited Montana,
particularly. Wheeler immediately
questioned the accuracy of the fig
ures and inquired what Vare had
spent himself in t:. a campaign.
Reed hesitated momentarily, and
Vare interrupted to say the amount
was about $71,000.
Reed said that $203 000 had been
spent in the Montana election, or at
the rate of $1.06 a vote as compared
with M cents a vote tn the Penn
sylvania election.
"How can you apply one rule to
Mr. Vare. and another ru'e to the 30
who were elecicd last year?" he ask
ed. Late In the day Senator Reed
, sought a recess until Thursday. Sen
ator Norris pleaded for an imme
diate vote, but Reed asked that the
senate wait until the report is re
ceived from the elections committee
which decided late Wednesday
against William B. Wilson in his
contest aith Vare.
Resuming arguments In support
of his resolution to bar William S
Vare of Pennsylvania from a sen-1
at? feat. Senator Norris, republi
can, Nebwka. assert c-d that an
honest election in the City 01
Philadelphia Is unknown within
the memory o: any man."'
Norris faid the ' Vare maciune
in Philadelphia levied assessments
a?anist the salaries of city em
ployes for political purpats and
asserted he had inftrmation show
ing "how It Is done.
He read a letter from a city em
ploye stating that if the senate
seriously was interested in learning
where Thomas W. Cunningham,
sheriff of Philadelphia county pot
the $50,000 he contributed to tne
Vare 1926 primary fund "it could
very easily una out.
Norris did not name the employe.
savin? the man probably woud
lose his Job if he did.
The letter. Norris eontinuea. saia
that Vare "should be back driving
a slop cart," and that "Bill Camp
bell never contributed any such sum
as W0.000'' to Vare'a primary cam
paign. Norris then quoted from the rec
ord of the old Investigating commit
tee and said so much corruption
was evident that the committee
should be Instructed to make fur
ther Investigation of "those damn
able things."
Saying h? was only ''hitting the
high spots," Norris said there were
"volumes and volumes" of evidence
of corruption carried on by th?
"Vare machine" dating back for 25
years.
Compared with this machine, he
added, Tammany was a "white
robed angel."
Denouncing the employment of
watchers at the polls by Vare for
ces in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
Norris said he could not conceive
of "a man running for office spend
ing $100,000 to employ watchers in
one city alone unless he wanted to
buy the election."
The record showed, Norris went
on. that the $100,000 was spont in
Philadelphia and that $28,285 was
expended for the same purpose in
Pittsburgh, all of which, he assert
ed, was the same as "bribe money."

FIRST SCHOOL .
HEALTH CLUB
IS ORGANIZED
The first health club to be or
ganized in Marion county this year
under the direction of the 4H club
work will be started soon at the
Thomas school near Silverton, with
the 9 pupils in the school who are
above 9 years of ae as members
of the club. The health club will
be one of two organized in the
county this year to try out the new
project of the 4H club and to form
a demonstration far health club
work throughout the county. Miss
Lucy A. Case, extension specialist In
nutrition at Oregon Agricultural col
lege and in charge of growing and
health work for the 4H club, was in
Salem Wednesday to discuss the
founding of the club with William
Fox. rural school supervisor for
Marion county, and with officials at
the Marion county child health
demonstration.
The project will demand a def
inite program of health work from
the club members, including medi
cal examinations twice a year by a
recognized physician, attending to
diet, sleep, cleanliness, exercise and
other items. Health work was con
ducted under the 4H club work two
years auo. but failed through lack of
a definite program and other ex
tenuat ing circumstances.
Both Miss Case and Mr. Pox ex
pressed themselves as very opti
mistic over the club project and
the enthusiastic reception with
which the students at the Thomas
school are greeting it. The work
