Good Evening!
, Sips for Supper
By DON UPJOHN
While candidates for the presi
dency are beginning to hop up like
flies on a honeycomb we wish to
recall to the people of this county
and the country that at last presi
dential election this county gave
Sips for Supper four more votes for
the presidency than It gave to
Andrew Gump. This paragraph can't
be exactly construed as our throwing
our hat Into the ring. But duty's
duty in no matter what guise you
find it and if the call gets too press
ing a good citizen is apt to give In.
Incidentally we may remind the
electorate that we were ahead of
Mr. Gump on both the republican
and democratic sides of the ledger
so we won't be too particular from
which side the call comes.
The grand sunny day yesterday,
we're pleased to report, brought out
some yearning souls practicing up
for softball. We noted some of our
favorite pitchers were out playing
catch. Some pitchers we know get
so adept at this game they can hit
the batter's bat darned near every
time they throw a ball.

FD APPROVES
FARM PROGRAM
Washington, Jan. 21 (IF) Details
of a new two-year farm program
were agreed upon today by Presi

leaders. Bills providing necessary
amendments to the sou conserva

problem presented by AAA's death,
The two year limitation on the
new program was not explained im

upon the late Senator Huey P.

attorney and chairman of the legal
committee of "home rule" or anti
Long ticket, withdrew from the
arbitration committee, named to
settle election disputes.
"It could not get a fair election,
he said.
The entire force of "home rule
arbitrators withdrew with Stanley
and asserted that their action was
based on the refusal of the Long
machine to permit them to make a
record of complaints.
Hugh M. Wilkinson, former law
partner of Long, charged the ad
mlnistratlonlsts sought to make a
record only of complaints filed
against the state machine.
But Stanley denied this charge
and declared he had offered to
furnish stenographic help to place
all complaints made by both sides
In the records of the committee.

Veterans' organizations have passed

SAFE CRACKED
AT WILLAMETTE
Considerably over $100 possibly
as much as $150 in cash, and about
$200 in school warrants were taken
from the office of Willamette uni
versity last night by a burglar who
broke open the safe.
Plenty of finger prints were found
by city and state police who are de
tailed to the case, and photographs
of the prints were made today.
The burglary was discovered about
8:30 this morning by Edward A
Beach, janitor at the university, and
the police were immediately notified
It was unusual that so large an
amount of money was in the safe.
Often not over $20 is left in the safe
at night. The larger amount was
because of registrations for the sec
ond semester. The school warrants
had been taken In on tuition pay
ments. To break open the safe the burg
lar or burglars used a pick and a
sledgehammer, both of which were
left at the office. The pick was
without a handle and the hammer
1 ad a short handle. Entrance into the
building was made by breaking a
window and unfastening a window
lock. In a spruce tree on the cam
pus the burglar left a quantity of
student records and notes that were
also taken from the safe.
This was the second burglary of
the university office In recent years.
The last was six or seven years ago.
The loss was completely covered
by insurance.
