DEPRESSION ALWAYS
TO BE FOUND ELSEWHERE
During the past month the Sentinel
editor has been in the southern part
of the state, at Grant« Pass, Medford,
and over to Crescent City, and in
the north at Portland, Woodburn, Sa­
lem and Eugene. We made it a point
to ask about business conditions and
the depression. And in each case the
’ - answer was practically the same,
“Yes, business is quiet, but it’s bet­
ter here than it is in other places.”
And speaking for Coquille, we know
there are towns and cities much worse
off than this county .seat
And that leads to the query: Is it
,on]y in the east that tinies are bad,
or is it all a mental condition, as
those English writer« say who have
told bhe United States that this coun­
try does not know what hard times
are?
An optimistic outlook and the
kicking out of old man gloom would
do mu6h in bringing about a return
of prosperity
THESE BOYS GOT JOBS
Here’s a story from Iowa: Two sons
of a Methodist minister came home
from college. Their father told them
he would not be able to supply all the
money they would need to continue
their college work, and since there
were so many unemployed he feared
they would have to drop out for a
year, They said all right, but they
would look around. As a result of
looking around they got jobs in a big
poultry house, one at $150 and the
other at $200 a month. Their father
was so much surprised that he went
to the poultry man to inquire about
it, and the man told him he could em­
ploy a dozen men if they were like
shin boys, able to do the work and
didn't have to be watched all the time.
And here’«, a story from Kansas:
Again two brothers, half way through
college, asked their father if he could
get them jobs in the harvest field. He
told them there would be more men
than jobs and wages would be low.
• The next he heard from them they
were driving tractors in a western
Kansas wheat field. The work lasted
five weeks and paid them $3.00 a
day and board. That job finished they
bought a Ford for $20.00, drove to
Granby, Colorado, where they went
to work in the lettuce fields the day
they arrived at 50 cent« an hour,
They are there yet, at 50 cent» an

vention honored itself in the “no” vote
Rufus Holman, state treasurer, this
week enjoyed the unique experience
of outvoting himself as a member of
the board of control. Holman, it hap­
pened, was the only member of the
board present when the matter of the
purchase of 25 new automobiles for
the state police came up for consider­
ation. The state treasurer favored a
light car of popular make. Both Gov­
ernor Meier and Secretary of State
Ho«« were inclined to follow the
recommendation of the police super­
intendent who wanted another make
of car. Although both the governor
and secretary of atate were absent
from the meeting they had left with
the understanding that their vote was
to be cast for the superinendent’s
choice and so Holman, although sit­
ting alone on the board, had no
choice other than to cast the votes
of his absent colleagues in opposition
to his own.
For the first time in 20 years an
officer of the Oregon national guard
was relieved of his commission aa the
result of a court martial, when Cap­
tain Louis N. Hendricks, Portland,
was permitted to resign as command­
er of the service company of the 162nd
infantry.
Captain Hendricks was
tried before a court composed of
guard officers on charges of misap­
propriating military funds which had
been entrusted to his keeping.

Seven hundred and forty arrests

The fire demon took a toll of 86
human lives in Oregon during 1980
while 101 others were injured in fires,
it was pointed out by Governor Meier
in a proclamation urging the people
of the state to join in the observance
of fire prevention week October 4 to
10. Fires in the state during 1930,
on the demand for more cash bonus.
But its cries, “We want beeer, we
want beer,” and the vote sustaining
those cries cause me to feel that the
shield of honor was tarnished for the
large majority of the men who hon­
ored themselves by military service
for the United States of America in
the defense of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness for ourselves and
for the world. That cry and vote is
not the voice of the thousands and ten
, thousands and millions of men and
women who gave equally in their
country’s service by keeping the sup­
ply bins full and the “home fires burn­
ing."
A corrupted vote does not
frighten me. General Hines warned
the convention that a vote for more
cash bonus might cause the Legion to
loae its most valuable asset, “good
will.” I am inclined to the opinion
that the cry of the American Legion
convention gallery, “We want beer,
we want beer,” and the vote attain­
ing that cry has not increased respect
for American Legion conventions.
Press dispatches quote Henry I. Stev­
ens, new commander of the American
Legion as saying, "The convention
was the most sober in the history of
the organization.” We may all be
thankful that the convention was the
"most sober,” for that means the in­
creasing growth of sobriety at the
American Legion conventions is the
effect of prohibition.
The people of the Dora school dis­
trict will be interested in a letter
Mrs. Easton received from Mrs. Grace
B. Hunter, a teacher in the state
training school at Chehalis, Wash.:
“Fulfilling the wishes of-your friend,
Mrs. Maud Weatherby, I am writing
to tell you that Sept. 23, at 11:30 a.
m. she wae taken by death. She was
in the hospital nearly three weeks.
Her funeral was Friday at three p.
m. Boys from the school were her
pall bearers and her room of boys
were honorary pallbearers. Mr. Pax­
ton, a Presbyterian minister, came
from Seattle. She gave me a list of
friends and asked me if she never
came back would I write them and tell
them. I packed her trunk and went
through everything with her.
She
surely was brave and fought till the
end with her whole heart.”
Mrs. Weatherby was a real woman
and knew her job as a teacher. She
has been a teacher in the training
school at Chehalis ever since she
taught at Dora and that is ten or
more years ago.

Hunting fatalities are increasing so
rapidly that immediate action is to be
taken to enforce the laws. Captain
Charles H. MoClees of the Oregon
State Police, informed the game de­
partment this week. One of the laws
is to the effect that no person who
has killed a person while hunting
may ever hunt again in Oregon, and
possession of a hunting license does
not reinstate the right to carry fire­
arms.
Records of the state game depart­
ment are being checked to see that
no hunting licenses are issued to per­
sons who have killed others while
hunting, but even if a license is is­
sued, these persons are violating sec­
tion 72-103 Oregon Code 1930, which
prohibits them from carrying" fire­
arms.

A FORD
W hen you buy a Ford there are two things you
to worry about. One is reliability. The other is long life.
Here’s an interesting letter from a Ford owner in North
Carolina:
“My Ford was purchased May 8, 1928, and has been nm 121,767
miles. It has never stopped on the road for repairs of any kind what­
soever eacept punctures.
“The brakes were relined at lOLOOO miles. My gas -“ ngt ever-
aged 21 miles to the gallon, and on tires, 19JMX) miles per tire. I travel
over all kinds of road conditions—mountainous and fiat.
“I consider this a wonderful record and I assure yon rev next see
will also be a Ford.”
This is just one of many tributes to the reliability and
long life of the Ford. A Ford owner in Iowa tells of driving
his Ford 73,000 miles in a single year. Another writes ci
120,000 miles of good service.
Think ahead when you are considering the purchase at
kn automobile and consider what it will be like after thw
sands of miles of driving. Will you still be satisfied? Will
you still say “it’s a great car”?
If it’s a Ford, you know everything will be O. KL It will
be taking you there and back in good style, just ss it has
always done. And you will hsve saved many important,
worth-while dollars in cost of operation and up-keep and
low yearly depreciation.
