We had 14 telephone calls Sunday
asking us to advise the public to
feed the birds.
And Governor Martin worrying
about how he is going to feed the
8000 birds who have asked him for

With the snow practically
gone now it looks In each In

the birds will have to take can

George Graves was showing us
Saturday the swell new car he's
added to the Grave's stables of high

threads his way over the perilous
pavements in his new machine.
Chuck Bier, Dave Adolph. and

The lady who writes recipes for
our favorite paper, the other night
Instructed her customers to "cut
beets into 14-inch strips" and then
do a lot of et cetera with them. Ah,
in what other country than ours
with Its famous Lablsh basin could
a lady recipe editor advise her read
ers to cut beets Into 14-lnch strips?
And coming from Lake Lablsh beets
such strips seem so small as to
hardly be noticeable.
The way to eat beets cut into 14
inch strips is to put them on a fork
and sort of slither them down, like
spaghetti, then the full flavor Is
found.
Three hop growers came to us, for
some reason, Saturday and asked
us what the proposed hop code is all
about. It's too bad, boys, but we've
been weaving around the streets for
a month or more trying to find
somebody who knew what the pro
posed hop code is all about and are
still weaving. In fact seven govern
ment officials are here for a couple
of days trying to find out what It's
all about and we're not so sure
they'll know much more about it
when they leave.
THE SOUND SUGGESTION
Stenographers in the senate and
house at Salem get $5 per day, while
their bosses get only $3. The legis

as much as their secretaries, even
if they don't get as much pay.

Frank Brown was worried today
because we called Chris Haight a
