Farmers Gain
In Soil Saving
Oregon and far-western farm
ers and ranchers made record
gains during the past year in
putting conservation farming
practices on their lands, accord
ing to J. H. Christ, Pacific
coast regional conservator of the
United States soil conservation
service.
In his year's end review of
soil conservation developments
in Oregon, Christ cited the
growth of the soil conservation
district movement as a "trend of
the times."
Said Christ, "Good land care
is getting to be the rule rather
than the exception, among Ore
gon farmers and ranchers. There
is every indication that the days
of wide-scale soil loses are over
for those land owners who use
modern soil and water conserva
tion practices. And, the grow
ing movement by farmers to
conserve the state's soil and
water resources is a good sign
that a good part of Oregon soils
are in safe keeping for future
generations."
While farmers were setting
a new mark in the application
of conservation practices, in
terests in the farmer - voted,
farmer - "action" district pro
gram accelerated in the states
of Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
Nevada and California, and in
the Territories of Alaska and
Hawaii, Christ pointed out.
By mid-year, Oregon had 27
organized soil conservation dis
tricts. Six additional farming
communities have received dis
trict status during the last six
months. They are: Silver Creek
in Marion county; Sherman
county; Burnt River in Baker
county; Josephine county and
Illinois valley in the same coun
ty. The new districts put ap
proximately 2 million more
acres under the district tanner.
Three state farming areas are
in the process of organizing dis
tricts. A successful hearing has
been held by East Multnomah
county landowners while dis
trict forming petitions, submit
ted by North Marion and Jack
son county farmers have been
accepted by the Oregon soil con
servation district committee.
Charges Purge Rear Ad

navy admirals who testified
in the defense policy row is a
threat to democracy. Gallery,
48-year-old naval airman, said

candidates" for post of chief

Jilted 40 Years Ago,
Woman Is Now Bride
Los Angeles, Jan. 18 U.R) Dr.
Jacob A. Swisher took out a
license Tuesday to marry the
girl he jilted 40 years ago.
Swisher, 65, director of the
Iowa State Historical society,
and Mrs. Blanche E. Fletcher,
60, Costa Mesa, Cal., will be
married Saturday at the Little
Church of the Flowers.
"This time we'll go through
with it," they grinned.
In 1910, Mrs. Fletcher intro
duced Dr. Swisher to a friend,
Nora Anthony. He married Miss
Anthony, who died a year ago.
Raiders Crusade
Against Shimmy
Oklahoma City, Jan. 18 m
Bootleggers and night club
"take-it-off" shimmy ladies
those are the folks a growing
group of Oklahoma county per
sons figure shouldn't be in busi
ness. The raiders from the pulpits
already have touched five whis
key sellers two of them late
last night in constitutionally
dry Oklahoma.
Now, they say, the strippers
will get a generous helping of
their wrath. Their clothing, they
add, isn't in the proper propor
tion to the skm which shows.
A trio of preachers got to
gether with a constable Satur
day night, raided a couple of
rum-runners, and -had a look in
on some night clubs.
More than twice that many
did the raiding Monday after
noon. And about that same num
ber did last night's rerun.
In all, about 310 pints of the
hard stuff have been seized.
The girlie-girlie shows came
in for some real frowns yesterday.
The raids have been in the
city and the county. The scorned
shows are in both places, too,
Said the Rev. George Stone,
pastor of the First Baptist
church in nearby Bethany:
"Talk about sex crimes, it's no
wonder we have them when peo
ple see what they do in some of
our night clubs.
"I know that in some places
the entertainers strip down to
virtually nothing, while a mas
ter of ceremonies does his best
to make it look attractive to the
young ladies of the audience.'

The practice of medicine is being
constantly improved through this
interchange of the findings of re

Lives are being saved by these

published in Medical Journals, for
further study, and for the infor

This urge for improvement
that's the ingenuity and progress
of Medicine in America.
Opportunity and incentive to get

If you think your paper was
unduly late tonight, even con
sidering the ice and snow, don't
blame it all on your carrier boy.
His bundle of papers was prob
ably behind time in getting to
him, through no human fault.
Men in private cars deliver
hundreds of bundles to carriers
in communities and towns
far-flung as Lebanon, Aurora,
Detroit and Falls City. Getting
these bundles from the Capital
Journal building to the carriers'
homes presents all sorts of dif
ficulties.
Many times Capital Journal
cars are forced to plow their
way through side roads which
no one else attempts to use. Ice
may slow them down on other
roads.
Cases of cars freezing up,
axles breaking, cars becoming
stuck in snow banks, etc., all
add up in unprepared-for slow
ups in deliveries.
In some towns and rural dis
tricts, the blanket of snow on
roads is so deep that carrier
boys who normally deliver
papers by bicycles are forced to
walk. Delays are inevitable.
In areas where farm homes
receive delivery direct from
autos, the work of snow plows
actually tends to slow up news
paper deliveries. The plow
throws snow to the sides of the
road, surrounding Capital Jour
nal newspaper boxes with snow,
The driver of the auto route
is then forced to get out of his
car, wade through the churned
up snow, place the paper in the
box, then wade through snow
back to his car.
Multiply that operation by the
number of stops on each driver's
route, and the answer is that the
fellow near the end of the line
is going to get his paper be
hind normal schedule.
The "arms" of the Capital
Journal are bucking these hard
ships in good spirits, and vow
that your paper will continue
its daily trek to your door.
Come rain, sleet or snow, the
news will go through.
Craftsmanship in stained glass
reached its highest level among
European monks in the 14th and
15th centuries.
