consciousness and indifference to

older brother played by Ray Rickey
no such concern need be felt.
Dave Adams, played by Harold Lo,

Ross has purchased envisions a much,
needed promotion. So does Charlie

GLOVER PLANTING
JAPANESE CHESTNUTS
Homer Glover o f Eaglo Creek is
planting on his farm some Japanese
chestnuts as an experiment in animal
feeding. Chestnuts are used in many
foreign countries as animal feed
where Americans will use corn. The
Japanese chestnuts are very heavy
bearers and heavy producers said to
produce a ton or two to the acre
when in production. They also are
late bloomers so that frost seldom
injures the crop. When the nuts fall
animals will harvest the crop them
selves if allowed to do so. Cows, pigs
chickens and turkeys feed upon the
nuts. .

water project. There are only 30
men now on the job whereas there
should be at least ninety or a hun

The WPA men who are on the job
are doing good work and there is no
fault to be found with them. How
ever with such a small number of
men on the job Estacada’s new water
system cannot possibly be completed
in less than two or three years.
Statistics show that there ha3 beeq
a drop o f 35 percent in W PA work

following letter:
‘ “ Dear Mr. Johnston.
We wish to express our sincere ap
preciation for the splendid writeup
of the NYA projects operating in the

one of the best that the state office

On each sunny d y you’ll see,

Do these lassies find their fun;
But rather on their bicycles
They ride till set o f sun.
And ‘tho we know the vitamins
Will sink into their soul,
And slender, figures, neat and trim;
Will be the destined goal.
We wonder, oh, we wonder,

If they have a real good liniment,
