C. Bellinger, super­ intendent of the state tuberculosis hospitals. Many sufferer« from this disease who should be under treat­ ment in a hospital are being kept, away by the charge which the state is authorised to make against their retatives, Bellinger believes. Whereas a year ago more than 70 prospective patients were on the waiting list at this time the list has dwindled to 50, Bellinger points out. : E. F. Atchley, of Portland, who was bhe prime mover in the campaign against cigarettes in the election of 1930, is back again with another pro- posed amendment to the state con- stitution which would prohibit tbe »ale, manufacture, importation, pos- | session orixdvertising of cigarettes or cigarotte paper. In the 1980 elec­ tion the proposal was defeated by a vote of 64,231 to 156,265. State institutions generally report a severe shortage in their potato crops this year. The eastern Oregon state hospital at Pendleton will have to buy 1000 aacks of spuds while the state hospital at Salem will also have to buy a large supply. The state tu­ berculosis hospital alone reports a bumper crop of 166 bushels to the acre. The extremely dry summer is said to be responsible for the short­ age. There are only 90 boys actually in the state training school at Woodburn, according to a report by Sam Laugh­ lin, the new superintendent of that institution. The report shows 588 former inmates of the institution now out on parole. Alonso S. Hilton, of Cloquet, Minne­ sota, has indicated his willingness to serve his public as president of these United States. Hilton’s attempt to file in this state for the democratic nomination for president was returned by Secretary of State Hoss with ths information that he should first apply to the democratic central committee for approval. .. —.... A number of large utility corpora­ tions have been appearing before the state tax commission during the past week protesting against their assess­ ment, basing their arguments largely on reduced earnings. Sam Laughlin, new head of the state school for boys, is opposed to corporal punishment and hopes that he may be able to abolish the prac­ tice entirely at hie institution in the near future. State employees will do their bit toward the relief of the unemployed this winter by donating one day’s pay each month for the next five months. The plan was proposed by Governor Meier and has the endorsement of all department heads. The fund will be collected by department heads and its disbursement will be statewide, pro­ bably based upon the population of the various counties. Credit will be given employees for contributions to local charities. Based upon the pres­ ent payroll it is expected that the fund to be raised in this manner will approximate $50,000 for the five month period. CLOSING-OUT SALE ! !

Tuesday, in the interest of the Red Cross. We call it a pleasure, a joy, a privilege to be able to have a mem­ bership in the greatest relief society the the world has ever known. The Red Cross is the Good Samaritan that is the friend to those in need of the helping hand, regardless of race, color, creed or nationality. To be in on that with a dollar as a distributor of the “oil of gladness” gives one a fellowship with the cheerful givers not obtainable in any other way. This year ia the golden anniversary of not only the Red Cross but also of the Young People’s society of Chris­ tian Endeavor. They are both alike in this particular, they were each an acorn of small beginnings and each have grown into an international tree of good will to men bearing fruits of peace on earth. Here is where youth of today has the advantage of the youth of 70 years ago. Then it was not thought that youth had a part in the building up of life and character of a commun­ ity, state and nation; but now it is expected of youth to be part and par­ cel in the advancement of the kingdom of God, not only locally but national­ ly, and for yopth to be internationally minded ia the interest of the things of world righteousness ia not foolish­ ness.
