Sips for Supper By DON UPJOHN Mother Nature is working her hardest to kill off the depression.

Big Shot Delaney pretty near evacuated Salem last night with his excursion to the dog races at Port land. From what reports we could gather around among the boys to daynot being In on the races our selves, a dog's racing is worse than either its bark or its bite. The Kentucky court of appeals just ruled that beer Is a soft drink. So in light of the ruling we were interested In seeing the following analysis of .lust what beer Is: In addition to its alcoholic content, the scientists say It is from 5 to 7 per cent of solid matter or extract; from 0.5 to 0.7 per cent of nitrogen ous substances, some of which are protein; from 1 to 2.5 per cent of sugar as maltose; from 2 to 4 per cent of gums and dextrine; from 0.16 to 0.4 per cent of acid as lactic acid, and from 0.15 to 0.36 per cent of ash. Fat, as such, may be con sidered absent. A pint of beer will provide approximately 250 calories. Cut the foregoing out and paste In your hat. The next time you drink a pint of beer you 11 know ex actly what you got in your system by so doing. And you may also know that the calories are derived from protein or organic nitrogen com pounds, 12 calories; carbohydrates, 70; organic acids, 6, and alcohol, 108. Yum! Yum!

C, Camp Maury, Post, Ore Dear Sips: It is with pleasure that five members of the civilian conser vation corps write to your column. We are stationed only 60 miles from the nearest town, which is pnnc- ville. We indulge In all sorts of sports out here including hunting (women being our biggest game). But, unfortunately, they don t in habit this section of Oregon. So we have to be content with wood- ticks and they happen to be plen tiful. They are harmless little creatures, unless hungry, and then they really are boring. With our best from Joe Slaby, Cecil Bartruff Ted Russell, Martin Weidinger. Lester Vickers." Glad to hear from you boys and hope all the trees you plant will some day grow into big ones to make fine houses for your grandchildren. The result in Iowa must convince even the most radical dry that the noble experiment is about over. JONES TAKES STAND DENIES ALL CHARGES Medford, June 21 (JP) Walter J.

"A reasonable doubt," Judge God dard said slowly, explaining the law to the jury, "does not mean re luctance to perform an unpleasant duty. "Few tax laws are popular," he continued, adding that congress In passing the income tax law "un-1 doubtedly had in mind that men of extensive property should pay proportionately." With regard to the stock sales, the Judge pointed out that a sale would not be genuine, even if form al documents were exchanged, If the intention of the participants was not to make It so. Mitchell sat up-right in his chair at the counsel table, watching the judge and listening intently. "You have the right to determine what the defendant's intent really was," the jurist told the jury. "The problem for you to decide is whether or not that was a bona fide sale."

We need sell on ly 250,000 kilowatts. "Some say there Is more power being produced now than we can sell. Of course there is, and why?

"It looks like a rather general re trenchment in essential agricultural activities." Stelwer told newspaper men in discussing his letter to Wal lace. He said he had told Wallace if the country could provide $500,000, 000 for unemployment relief and three billion for public works it ought to be able to find $1,300,000 to maintain "a highly essential service to the farmers who have their backs to the wall." month, when the southern states of Oklahoma, Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee ballot.
