SILVERTON FOILED AGAIN
The F. A. McClanatnans at Silver
ton, including their daughter Jean,
are in a sadly dejected state. It all
came about through our great holly
hock contest which the Mc's had ov
erlooked. They live at the old Luth
eran parsonage place in Silverton, a
place alive with flowers. They had
some fine hollyhocks, but they'd got
past their prime so Papa Mc a few
days ago cut them down, broke up
the stalks into bits, an heaved them
into a trash pile for later burning.
Then a friend informed him of the
great hollyhock contest, that the fair
fame of Silverton was at stake, and
that a chap from Saiem had pro
duced a hollyhock four inches higher
than Silverton's marvel hollyhock,
Mc, if anything, is loyal to Silver
ton. He remembered his poor busted
hollyhocks. As a civil engineer he
had taken their altitude with his eye
and knew they were 1?. fret high if
an inch, nearly four feet higher than
the nearest contender. Jt just busted
Mc's heard to think what he had
done, and that Silverton must suf
fer because of his brash rush to cut
down his hollyhocks. He couldn't
sleep. His meals didn't taste good. He
began to mope and his wife and
daughter worried. Then early the
other -morning he sneaked out of
bed, pulled on his yaid clothes, got
out his surveyor s tape line, sneaked
out to the brush pile and began sort
ing out bits of busted hollyhock. It
took quite a time to piece the holly
hock stalks together. In fact he
missed breakfast and his family
missed him. But at last the job was
completed. He trotten out his tape,
measured the reconstructed holly
hock stalk, and found it measured
10 feet and 2 inches, or about four
feet short of the mark And that's
why the McClanath&ns, including
their daughter Jean, are dejected.
But Mrs, McClanathan is a little
sprier than the rest on account of a
gourd in her garden that measures
15 by 14 inches anu you can beat
that, if you can, will and may.
We happened to have a chance
yesterday to look at a state diploma
awarded to a young lady for passing
the test to become a professional
hairdresser. The lady with state au
thority granting the diploma signed
herself as Martha Archibald. We
didn't hear whether this lady was
subject of the clinic at which the
novitiate took her exam to become
a hairdresser, but if so, it sounds
like a cinch.
We read of a woman vacationist
who painted her toe nails before go
ing into the water and a bass bit off
one of the toes, charmed by the
crawfish hue of the nails. The imi
tation toe nail hand painted may re
place the well known wooden min
now now used as a bass lure. What
bass could refrain from succumbing
to a chance to take a bite out of mi
lady's toe nail, properly adorned?

A new method of repayment of

A resolution asking a federal ap

reclamation congress members or

rigation association districts.
The annual congress ended here
yesterday, but many members re

At the closing session the con
gress thanked the government for
postponing payment demands from
settlers, but recommended that an
optional crop basis repayment plan
be adopted to obviate any further
moratoria,. ,
The optional method of repaying
construction loans calls for pledg
ing five per cent of the annua! crop
value instead of a flat amount,
"thus preventing need of future
moratoria based on crop failure or
low price."
Other resolutions urged an an
nual federal appropriation of $15.-

minor dams by the works progress
administration for conservation of
water; immediate surveys of de
signs and sites for the propose?

London, Aug, 21 Seven leaders of
the British cabinet today tentatively
approved a policy demanding finan
cial and economic action against
Italy if that country attacks Eth
iopia.
The ministers had been called in
to a special, informal session by
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin.
They conferred two hours.
Their decision, although tentative,
calls for a strong British stand at
Geneva, in the forthcoming League
of Nations sessions, for financial
and economic sanctions.
This idea will be taken up by the
full cabinet tomorrow in an emer

Throughout the day there were
indications Great Britain might
seek American cooperation outside
Geneva for a solution of the liaio-
Ethiopian crisis.
While Washington is being kept
informed ol developments, an au
thoritative source said, no appeal to
America to review lis policy on the
Italo-Kthiopian situation has been
made through regular diplomatic
channels.
It was Indicated, however, that
Britain would welcome an invoca

industrial peace of the Pacific coast
waterfront apparently in the bal
ance, members of the International
Longshoremen's association today
cast first ballots in two important
coastwise labor referendums.
The first question to be decided
was whether union dock workers de
sire renewal of their working agree
ment with employers as set forth In
the longshoremen's board sward,
peace pact which evolved from last
summer's paralysing maritime strike.
Vitally important to this issue as
Ihe second ballot which was to de
termine whether the union will lift
an embargo on cargo transported
to and from strike bound British
Columbia ports.
The longshoremen's award expires
September 30. Employers have sig
nified their willingness to renew the
pact, provided the I. L, A. purges its
ranks of asserted communist and
radical influences and leader?,
which the San Francisco waterfront
employers association repeatedly
lias charged are responsible for re
current minor strikes and sporadic
disorders. m
Employers of the coast's four ma
jor ports met here two days ago
and permitted a union request for
an extension of time in which to
determine whether the union de
sired to renew the agreement.
