Many oaks were cut down during the war, as the wood was ur gently needed. Said a botanist: "The wood of an oak is not really any good until the tree is four hundred years old, and people today cannot afford to grow oaks for posterity. Originally large parts of England were covered with oaks. The tree is almost a rarity now In some places. It is said that an oak takes 400 years to grow to full size, Is mature for another 400 years, and takes 400 years more to decay. In some cases I should say this is 1 true." ... CROP SURPLUS DISCUSSED TOPIC AT SPOKANE MEETING Farmers of eastern and central Washington and northern Idaho, in cluding officers of several cooperat ive organizations, meeting at Spok ane, discussed the problem of sur plus crops and decided to call a meeting of Washington and Idaho farmers in March to form an agency to dispose of their crops. The group asked that wheat farm ers throughout the United States withhold their wheat from the mark et until such time as the industry can be put on a "paying basis." They requested Washington State college to collect information as to the ef fect of surpluses on prices for the last ten years and give this informa tion to farmers. The policy of Washington Stata college of encouraging production in the face of "national over-production and resulting low prices," was at tacked and defended, by different speakers. - Golf'Dulba Little Jonn lind been promoted to a garden of her own, nml Joan's father had been using strange oaths about the diminution on Ins stock of golf balls. He wns prrambulutins the gar den when lie noticed a curious whitish protuberance in Joan's section, and In vestigated. The culprit was sum moned. "Well," she said, "you did say that you wished you could grow golf balls in the garden 'cos they're so dear, so' I thought I'd try for a sur prise. And I've watered them every day, and now you've gone and spoiled everything." And Joan's father, re garding half a dozen muddy objects, tole away with a sense of guilt to buy more balls and to find a hiding place for them. London Chronicle. Two Oregon Towns -May Consolidate.

League's Aid Asked in Border Dispute Geneva. Following closely upon the action of Greece in appealing to the league of nations to settle a boundary dispute between Greece and Turkey, a conflict in the Baltic suddenly loomed on the league horizon when Lithuania filed a vigorous protest against Poland, alleging that the re cent Polibh frontier actions consti tuted a "new invasion of Lithuanian territory by Polish troops." Ihu haVe got to ti have a moW I j. 'The pick and shovel never built up a country; you have got to have a plow." . " The wagon train divides in the desert. One branch hearing of gold in California rushes southwest across the mountains; the main train continues northwestward to Oregon. At this dramatic point in the film version of Emerson Hough's great story "The Covered Wagon," the"old leader of the ' Oregon train gazes fondly upon his plow which he hopes soon to sink into Oregon soiL He is not distracted bjr thoughts of California gold. "The pick and shovel never built up a country," he says. "You have got to have a plow.". Since the days of the pioneers of "The Covered Wagon" Oliver plows have been helping build op this country. Sturdy and practical, three generations of American farmers have depended on them to prepare the iand. As new methods in construction and improved methods of agri culture were discovered, Oliver quickly put them to the test and passed on to users of Oliver plows the most up to date implem'ents. You have got to have a plow. This is just as true today as in the days cf which Emerson Hough wrote in "The Covered Wagon." Modern Oliver plows and tillage tools assure their users today largest possible yields as did their predecessors of an earlier day. 19 B 2-base 16 inch Chilled. . .'. . 19 B 2-base 16 inch Steel 19 B 3-base 16 inch Chilled. 19 B 3-base 16 inch Steel.
