HOGG SERVING .
AS PRESIDENT
SECOND TERM
Dallas Ronald Hogg will again
serve the Polk county corn-hog con
trol association as president with
L. F. McKee of Perrydale as vice
president. The board of directors
met in the courthouse and organ
ised, adopted a budget and laid
plans for carrying on the year's
business.
Saturday was the closing date for
the sign-up of 1035 applications. Ac
cording to J. R. Beck, who was re
elected secretary of the association,
80 per cent of the hogs represented
in the 1034 association are again
signed up. In almost every case
the only contracts that were drop
ped were those representing a small
number of hogs, according to the
officers of the association.
L. V. Seeley, representing the In
dependence district, will be the third
member of the county allotment
committee with J, L. Palmer of
Lew is vi He as the alternate.
Field appraisal of the 12 corn
contracts was completed early this
week. Listing of the applications
for the state board of review Is
being completed and will be sent
to Portland probably by the last
of this week, in the opinion of the
secretary.
Charles Smith, representing the
state corn-hog committee, was pres
ent and told the local directors
that they had conducted their busi
ness In an economical manner in
1S34 and as a result the costs to
the local association were among
the lowest in the state. The bud
get for 1035 is considerably lower
than the one drawn up for 1034
which should result in still further
savings. In keeping with this policy
of economy, Mrs. Beatrice Hieben-
thal, secretary in the county agent's
office, will serve as .treasurer this
year, thus eliminating travel ex
pense for the treasurer.

the play, actresses on the dark
stage made a scramble for higher
places and women in the audience
removed their feet from the floor.

LINN RESTRICTS
SINGLE WORKERS
Albany Relief work In Linn
county is to be restricted to men
with dependents, it was announced
Tuesday by the county relief com
mittee. Members of the committee stated
that farmers are now having diffi
culty in getting help, due to the
preference on the part of many sin
gle men to remain in town and sub
sist on the SERA rather than accept
work out of town, even though It
would pay more than the SERA.
Announcement of this policy is
in conformity with the previous an.
nouncement that SERA relief will
be tapered off as weather conditions
improve and more Jobs under civil
ian employers are available.
It was also revealed at the meet
ing that Linn county Is running
short of acceptable projects with
which to employ SERA labor. The
county has already used up its quo
ta of road renovation projects and
can get approval hereafter on new
construction.
