trade commission that the Ameri
can Gas company of New Jersey
had "write-ups" amounting to $2,
821,435.10 on its books on December

bring about a better and more stable
price to both producers and deal
ers.
Thev were Instructed by George
N. Peck, chief administration of the

selves" and submit the result to
him.
If Peek and Secretary Wallace

legalize it and require its observance.
Meanwhile Peek conferred in
formally with several representa
tives of the cotton industry regard
ing the possibilities of working out

sition of the crop this year. No

TEXT-BOOK RULES
MAY BE CHANGED
Book changes ordered by the state
text book board may be modified
wnere school districts are both with-
out sufficient fund, and where there
are available ample supplies of old
books, State School Superintendent
u. a. Howard announced.
New text books for elementary ag
riculture, arithmetic, music and
spelling were ordered by the board
in December. Howard said that if it
is found that any class can be sun-
piled with present text books in
these courses, that it is permissable
to continue them for another year
as an economy measure.
New high school texts in algebra,
geometry, literature, composition
and commercial subjects were chos
en by the book board. Ordinarily
high school texts are not furnished
the school districts, but frequently
In a community there will be enough
used text books to supply a class.
Howard recommended that a text
book exchange be conducted In each
school at the beginning of the year,
so that students can buy, sell or ex
change used books.
Text book publishers are given
six-year contracts by the state
board. New contracts for a third
of the books in use are made every
year. Some times contracts are re
newed. "Changes in adoptions must
be made from time to time if chil
dren are to be taught by modern
mctnoas with material that is ac
curate and up-to-date," Howard
said. .

Budgets for departments included
wage reductions.

EYERLY TALKS
ABOUT AVIATION
AND AIRPORTS
Aviation in Salem and improve
ments in general were presented
members of the chamber of com
merce Monday noon by Lee U. Ey
erly, head of the Eyerly Aircraft
corporation, and Lieut. W. A. Scout
Hazelwood, chief pilot and Instruc
tor.
Visiting pilots declare the Salem
airport one of the finest landing
fields in the northwest, with the
department of commerce giving it a
high rating, Eyerly said. The rating
is based upon facilities offered, area
and possible hazards. The only thing
lacking are boundary lights, he add
ed. During the past year 49 Aero
planes, devised for training or
amusement, have been sold, bring
ing in $50,000, with more potential
business in sight. The company is
now manufacturing a new and
strictly amusement devise known as
the loopoplane, designed to carry
four people through looping maneu
vers. Travel by scheduled air lines is as
safe and comfortable as riding in an
expensive sedan or Pullman car,
Lieut. Hazelwood said in contrasting
present transportation with air tra
vel of a few years ago. More than
500,000 persons were passengers on
regular routes last year, a substan
tial gain over the previous year, he
said. Improvement in airplane
equipment, Including radio guidance,
"automatic" pilots and directing
beams enabling a pilot to safely
reach his airport in the dark or fog,
was described.

Continuation Of
Banks Trial
From Page One
rest Banks on a warrant charging
ballot theft.
Mayor Jones was in jail February
26 when he overheard Prescott and
Cave, who had been flayed in the
news and editorial columns of
Banks' newspaper, speak of killing
the Dublisher. Jones testified.
"Prescott said Banks knew too
much about their business and that
someone would have to do some
thing about It," declared Jories.
"Cave said if Banks didn't stop
talking about his killing DaHack he
would kill him. Prescott said if ne o
had that last warrant that was serv
ed on Banks hu would have resisted
and he'd have got him then."
Prosecution testimony had shown
that Prescott had not drawn his
gun when he was shot and killed by
Banks when he attempted to serve
an arrest warrant on the former
millionaire orchardist and publisher.
"I was in Medford on March 16
(the day prescott was killed)'
Wheeler testified.
"From the court house where I
went to apply for a feed and seed
loan, I went up to see Banks about
a job.
"As I came near the house," he
continued, while the crowded court
room listened, wondering what his
testimony would divulge, if any
thing, "I saw Prescott and another
officer walking up on the porch.
"I saw the door open and two
letters fall out. Then I heard a
shot. 1 saw Prescott fall, and a
gun dropped from his right hand."
A hushed silence spread over the
court room and every ear hung on
Wheeler s words.
He continued.
"I went down the street immedi
ately, and later I came back and
went up on the porch. An officer
down at cue corner of Banks prop
erty hollered at me to 'Get off
that porch. But, Mrs. Banks
opened the door and Invited me in
I stayed in the house until just
before the officers came to arrest
Banks. Then I went out by the
side door.
Wheeler was the mysterious "third
man" of whom Banks told Capt. Lee
Bown of the state police shortly
after he was arrested. Bown's
testimony indicated that Banks at
tempted to shunt the guilt to the
"other man ' and Banks himself tes
titled that he had referred to E
A. Fleming, who was arrested run
ning away from the Banks home.
Wheeler's testimony took the state
by complete surprise. His later
revelations were no lens surprising
than his statement that Prescott
was armed.
"One day, shortly after the News
(Medford Daily News) had been
sold," Wheeler said, "I was in town
shopping. X was standing on a cor
ner and I saw Prescott and a man
I did not know. The man said
" They've got Bonks silenced on
his paper.
" "They haven't got him silenced
yet Perscott answered him. 'He's
going over to Ferns building and
start another paper. The only way
to silence him is to shoot him and
I guess the Job is up to me.' "
Wheeler declared that he warned
Bnnks of his danger.
Ralph Moody, assistant attorney
general, appointed to head the pros
ecution when Will Levcns died, bore
into Wheeler's testimony with gimlet-like
thrusts to attempt to show
perjury.
Wheeler was unable to tell the
exact time he was at the Banks
home. He did not remember who
he saw around the house. He said
he did not see where Sergeant O'-
Brlen went after Prescott Was shot
He was unable to give an answer
to a question as to why he went in
the house while Prescott was lying
on the porch, and did nothing to
aid the wouded man, although he
said Prescott was his friend. He
said he did not see the pistol, which
ne previously testuied Prescott
dropped, when he returned to the
Janks porch.
Moody's Questions brought bitter
denunciation from Frank J. Lon
ergan.
Chief of the defense counsel, and

Milk Drinking Must
Be Done Right Way
School children, sipping milk from
bottles during lunch hours, fre
quently fail to drink the most nour
ishing portion of the milk.
Investigators found that in sip
ping the milk through straws, that
the children left an average of 5.03
per cent of the milk containing 16
per cent of the buttcrfat. This was
uttributed to the fact that the thin
milk was consumed before he chil
dren reached the creamy, rich por
tion. A thorough shaking of the bottle
before drinking, was recommended
as the best mnnner of fixing the
nutritious portion of the milk with
thin fluid.

water which contains all of the
cell-salts and minerals essential
to life in natural form, assim
ilated by the blood stream. Let
