rud, chairman, presiding. Rev. J.
M. Jensen opened the session with
devotionals.
The organization committee ap
pointed at the previous meeting, of
which H. N. Kiev is chairman, re
ported the finding of sentiment
strongly In favor of one united
Brotherhood for Silverton. The
committee recommended that the
organization act on this phase of

son is director.
ROT RESISTED BY
STRAIN OF CLOVER
Willamette sweet clover, a new
stem-rot resistant strain, is now on
th market, the result of 10 years
of testing and development at Ore
gon State college, according to re
ports of the experimenters received
here.
Led by Harry A. Schoth, federal
agronomist at the college, and ag
ricultural scientists succeeded in
producing approximately 50,000
pounds of the seed, all from one
stalk which, 10 years ago, was found
to have resisted the stem-rot dis
ease. It took five generations to
grow and purify the strain.
Inquiries about the new product
have been coming in from many
eastern and midwestern states,
where stem-rot has caused much
damage. Willamette sweet clover
Is expected to give green summer
, pasture and serve as a preventative
of soil erosion.
Disabled Veterans
Now Making Poppies
Thousands of disabled World war
veterans are already hard at work
In hospitals and workrooms through
out the country manufacturing the
10.000,000 little red paper poppies
which will be sold by the American
Legion on May 25 on the annual
benefit Poppy day.
Only disabled men receiving little
or no federal compensation, or those
with dependent families are allow
ed to earn money by making the
little mementoes of Flanders Flenx
Workers are restricted to making
300 flowers per day at one cent each.
The lump earnings of the nation's
veterans will total approximately
$100,000.
Waconda Roy Jones who under
went a mnjor operation at the St.
Vincent hospital in Portland at the
hands of Dr. Jones, is reported as
progressing nicely. His daughter,
Mrs. Cotter Gould and small son,
Cotter Ray of Eugene, and Miss
Florence Swingler has charge of the
Jones home during his absence.
Pre-Shrunk Label
Said To Mean Little
The "pre-shrunk" label on many
types of textiles actually means
little, warned the federal bureau !
cf home economics.
Although some excellent processes
for reducing the shrinkage of cloth
ing have been developed, said the
bureau, the labels on a large pro
portion of textiles are unfortunately
indefinite and sometimes actually
misleading.
The New York board of trade.
working under the sponsorship of
the American Standards associa
tion, recently recommended that no
woven frabric be permitted on the
market with the label "pre-shrunk"
if it would shrink more than three
per cent when subjected to normal
washing. It further recommended
that the exact percentage of shrink
age be stated on the label of gar
ments marked "pre-shrunk."
ELEVEN-MONTH LAW
USED IN FORECAST
An "eleven -month law" of weath
er forecasting has been established
wth a considerable degree of cer
tainty by cllmatologists of the fed
eral weather bureau, reported the
United States department of agriculture.
Worked out primarily in the mid
west, It was discovered that a hot
June was followed by an abnormally
hot May the next year. Thus, May
this year is predicted to be warm
and dry throughout the Missouri
and upper Mississippi valleys, the
aftermath of the phenomenal drouth
last summer. No drought is pre
dicted this year, however.
While the rule has not yet been
perfected for world-wide use, cer
tain mid-oceanic regions are found
to respond to the forecasts on the
eleven-month rule, particularly in
Bermuda.
Several baffling aspects have aris
en, however. Abnormaltles of tem
perature do not necessarily occur
in all parts of the world at the
same time, even though each area
may follow its own eleven-month
cycle.
Further, between Bermuda and
the midwest lies a large area which
refuses to behave, and shows no
such sequence. Again in Siberia.
the rules goes exactly Into reverse,
hot Junes being followed by cold
Mays. Cllmatologists hope, how
ever, to perfect the system for use
in the United States.
LEGION WOMEN
HELP WELFARE
' Monmouth The American Legion
auxi'iary Is carrying on a com
mendable relief and welfare pro
gram in Monmouth and vicinity.
tor the Christmas season, 15 fam
ilies were given Christmas baskets,
valued at (10 each, containing food
for Christmas dinner, toys, clothing
and candy.
Generous donations by some of
the Monmouth business men were
received at that time, consisting of
toys and cards from the Morlan
store; flour from the L. B. Howard
grocery and the mill; a cash dona
tion from Mr. Hendron, engineer at
the Normal school, and $10 from
the local Red Cross organization
Members of the unit furnished sup
plies of food and clothing and the
balance was bought from local merchants.
Last month a family In need was
reported to the unit and a box of
groceries valued at $7.50 was dis
patched to them. Shoes have been
bought for some needy children
and the auxiliary maintains a relief
department in charge of Mrs. Verde
Shrunk, where used clothing and
shoes may be obtained by those in
need.
Practically all of the money taken
in by the auxiliary Is used in this
comunlty and the organization feels
that It la doing a worthy work
which should merit the support and
good will of the citizens of Mon
mouth.
"WESTWARD HO" IS
SLOGAN FOR MOVERS
Westward, Hoi" Is once again
the cry as the pioneers of 1935,
refugees of the drought, move and
are moved to Oregon.
Aided by the federal "coloniza
tion" program, families are con
stantly flocking westward to settle
in the Pacific northwest's fertile
and comparatively sparsely popu
lated lands.
Prom the drought-ravaged areas
of the midwest have come and are
still coming hundreds of families.
The United States government will
loan each family between $2000 and
$3000 to assist In establishing them
selves In their new homes.
One example of the new move
ment westward Is the group from
North Dakota which will come to
Oregon this spring. Three hundred
and fifty families will be moved
from that state and settled around
Eugene, Roseburg and Tillamook.
Oregontans constantly report get
ting letters from midwestern farm
ers ruined by the rainless siege of
1934 which turned their fertile, pros
perous lands Into worthless, sub
marginal dust neaps, "is mere
plenty of rain in the Willamette
valley?", "Would a lamuy need
much land to make a decent living
there?" and "Could we buy improved
land or only logged-off stump
land?" are typical of the queries
directed by the midwesterners
West Stayton Mrs. Lester Dow
and children of Brooks are visiting
with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Comstock.
LODGE GROUP CALLS
Independence A group of mem
bers from Salem Royal Arch chap
ter of Masons assisted Independ

ferring the M.M. degree upon three
candidates. Refreshmntse were
served at the close.
SOCIAL DISEASE
SERIOUS IN STATE
More than eight per cent of the
population of Oregon is afflicted
with some sort of venereal disease,
reported the state board of health.
Only a third of this number Is
under treatment, and less than a
quarter of the cases are never re
ported to the health authorities,
said the board.
"It Is definitely known," said
State Health Officer Frederick D.
Strieker, M.D.. in a report, "that
from 10 to 35 per cent of all cases
of Insanity Is due to syphilis. The
disease also causes 30 per cent of
heart diseases. Gonorrhea causes
00 per cent of blindness of the new
born and 10 per cent of all blind
ness." Venereal diseases cost the state
POPCORN PRICES
ARE POPPING NOW
Popcorn prices are popping.
Where farmers throughout the
country were selling their popcorn
a year ago for a cent a pound, the
price has now gone to five and eight
cents a pound, with eastern dealers
asking 12 to 15 cents, reported the
United States department of agriculture.
The phenomenal rise was caused
by the midwestern drought last
summer. The entire Iowa, Nebras
ka and Kansas crop was almost a
complete failure. Usually these
states produce 75 per cent of the
entire amount.
Farmers are warned, however,
that any attempt to rush the mar
ket can easily cause an oversupply
and low prices again, as the demand
for popcorn is quite small. Once
the leading American confection.
pop-corn has run into stiff com
petition In the last few years Irom
candy bars and frozen confections,
said the department.
Oregon Dog Owners
Pay $19,585 Taxes
Oregon's dog-owners paid taxes
on $19,585 worth of dogs in the
1933-34 blennlum, reported the state
tax commission.
-A total of 1430 dogs were consid
ered worth putting on the tax rolls.
They had an average value 01 $13.70.
Umatilla, with 422 dogs, is the
"doggiest" county In the state, the
average dog being worth $9.94. Lane
county is second with 388, but had
to count foxes as dogs. Washing
ton county also counted Its foxes
to get in with 325. Not quits half
the counties placed dogs on
rolls.
$1,000,000 a year, half the amount
in medical treatment and the other
half In loss of wages. They rank
next to measles and common colds
as the leading communicable diseases.

States are being eaten In Rome.

London's Hat Modes
Leave Pillbox Behind
London (IP) The "Marina pill
box" hat, reportedly still the rage
in Paris and the United States, al
ready has been forgotten here.
In swift succession, the style set
by the new Duchess of Kent last
winter has given way to the "shovel
hat," the "alengarry," the "halo,"
the masculine Homburg, and now
the "chocolate box" the last a
dark brown square not unlike a

cruise to start yet another mode.
