Watkins Drugstore : The Dangers of Continuing a Heavy Production Is Again Pointed Out. South Bend, Ind. A representative group of American bankers, spurred by the assertion of Chairman Alex ander Legge of the federal farm board, that many of them would fail if they allowed the farmers to con tinue their over-production, have plunged into the complexities of the world wheat situation. They listened to a description of the way in which Russia is growing more and more wheat; to prospects of a large increase in other countries; to a story of what mechanization has done to increase production here and abroad; to a prophesy that wheat prices will be generally lower in the next 25 years than in the last quarter century, and to an assertion that America must hold its crops to ap proximately home consumptaion. Legge told the conference of the agricultural commission of the Ameri can bankers association that bankers could not escape their responsibility in connection with the plight of the farmer. Country bankers have be come bo involved in agriculture prob lems, he said, financial ruin for the farmer would wipe out the banker. Large city institutions were criticiz ed by the farm board head for the attitude he said they had shown in re fusing farm paper. Legge asserted the farm marketing act had proved to be a very wise measure and that there was much promise of its ultimate success in putting agriculture on its feet. Dean H. L. Russell of the Univer sity of Wisconsin College of Agri culture, termed mechanization the greatest factor working against the farm board campaign for reduction in wheat.

Special Assembly "The people of China are always in great fear of spirits," said Miss Maiden, the missionary from China and India while talking to the stu dents of Athena. The Chinese make paper houses, boats and other paper things which they burn at the death of someone in the family. They be lieve that if this is not done, the de parted one's spirit will come back and cause a famine, another death or some other great disaster. The Chi nese never bury in the ground be cause they are afraid to disturb the ground spirits. Miss Maiden said that they put the coffins on the ground and cover them over. Miss Maiden gave a display of carved figures illustrat ing the ways of travel, what is used to cultivate their fields and how some of the houses of worship are built. The chairs which they ride in are carried, pushed or pulled by China men. Miss Maiden said that when carried, unless you can stand rocking, you are liable s to be seasick. The Chinese cultivate their fields with plows and harrows and use water buffalo. The buffalo is taken to graze by a little boy who rides on his back when the work is done. Some of the houses of worship are built with a spiral stairway and at each story figures of the gods and goddesses are lined around the wall. The Chjnese women wear long shirts and jackets which usually are beautifully em broidered. The children wear similar jackets and trousers. In India the men drape scarfs around them and wear their shirts on the outside of their trousers. Miss Maiden also showed a prayer rug from India. Miss Maiden is planning to go back to China next year to continue her work. - Student Body An assembly was held Monday in the auditorium. Songs were sung by the student body.

Warning against any raid on the treasury in an attempt to restore prosperity was given by Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, as congress prepared to speed to enactment this week of the emer gency unemployment and drought re lief measures. Senator Borah voiced no particular criticism of the $60,000,000 drought measure before the senate and the $110,000,000 public improvements bill before the house, but he repeated his demand for an increase In taxes if the $355,000,000 deficit in prospect for this year materializes. '1 have no desire to see taxes in creased," said the Idaho senator, who yesterday proposed a 2 per cent in crease to meet the prospective deficit. "But what I said and now say is this if these expenditures are to be made I see no way to avoid increasing taxes. "We certainly are not going to have j a bond issue. Our deficit is climbing towards $400,000,000. Where are you going to get the money ? There is no I place to get it except out of the tax payers' pocket. We will lose nothing by being candid with the public. "There seems to be a widespread belief that you can restore prosperity from the public treasury. , It is not only a false theory, but a vicious the ory. Dire emergencies may have to be met from the public treasury, but the idea that you can restore per manent prosperity by spending public money and thereby -necessitating the imposition of more taxes is unsound. "I favor, therefore, holding ex penditures down as much as possible and still meeting the actual emer gency. If there appears to be a deficit I am in favor of meeting it by in creasing income taxes, especially in the higher brackets." 8 A Free trial . . liberal terms if you buy hsf TTD A irK IT iris Oregon Nuts and Fruits Make Excelent Candies For Christmas Presents The making of home-made Christ mas candies gives Oregon homemak ers an excellent opportunity to make the best of confections using -reasonably priced Oregon grown fruits and nuts. ., The possibilities for attractive and healthful creations are as numerous as the kinds of nuts and fruits ob tainable, and many persons will en joy experimenting with .various com binations. The following recipes have been tried out and are recommended by Misses Lillian Taylor and Willetta Moore, instructors in foods and nutri tion on the home economics staff of Oregon State college. . Stuffed Prunes are handled just like stuffed dates, and are equally, de licious as a confection. The dried prunes are first steamed to soften them, and the' pits are removed. Then they are stuffed with nuts, fondant or anything else desired, and rolled in powdered sugar. . Fruit nut bars can be made from al most any kind of fruit or nuts, but the fruits most often used are prunes, dates, figs, or a combination of two or more of these, and a few candied cherries to add color. The fruit is put through the food grinder, and for each cup of dired fruit pulp one-half cup of ground walnuts, filberts, al monds (or a combination of these( is added. This is mixed well and put through the medium blade of the grinder. It may then be molded into any shape desired and dusted with powdered sugar, or coated with dip ping chocolate. This makes a most desirable confection, not too sweet, and healthful for both children and adults. Spiced walnuts call for 1 cup of walnuts, in halves or quarters, 1 cup of sugar, a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon of nutmeg, 3 tablespoons of water. Boil the sugar, water and salt until it spins a thread; then add butter, nutmeg, and nuts and stir until cold. t? f - ""DEL 1055 ii Idaho Deer Hunter Hurt, Is Saved By Searchers Orofino, Idaho Levi Inghram, 30, is recovering from his 28-hour bat tle with the elements Sunday when, after shooting a deer and trailing it through the mountains until darkness, he dislocated his hip.
