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.
Spears Denies Talk

Eugene. Dr. Clarence W. Spears,
head football coach at the University
of Oregon, told the Eugene Register
Guard over long distance telephone
from Los Angeles he had not con
sidered succeeding ' Nebs Price as
coach at the University of California.
Spe'ars denied he had met with the
California graduate manager to dis
cuss a schedule for next year, as in
timated by Roland Robnett, assistant
graduate manager at Oregon.
"There's nothing to it, positively.
Dr. Spears told the Register-Guard. "I
have been driving from San Francisco
to Los Angeles since the game last
Thursday and I know nothing of what
has been in the papers. Don't put
any stock in what they say. I haven't
had any meeting with the California
people on this or any other matter."

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. -

Use of Public Funds to Re
store Prosperity Is a
Vicious Theory.
Washington, D. C. 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."

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.

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.
All Sunday night he lay under a
ledge while his' clothing froze to his
body and he could not light a fire be
cause his matches were wet. , Inghram
whose right lower leg is artificial,
was able to pull his right hip back
to place by wedging the knee be
tween two large rocks, he told res
cuers. When found by searchers at 10 a.
m. Monday in the wilderness, 18 miles
from Orofino, his right thumb and the
toes of his left foot were frozen. He
was lying in a thicket, exhausted af
ter crawling along on his stomach for
two miles.
Inghram was a member of a hunt
ing party of three. They migrated in
to the Dick creek country along sepa
rate trails, disbanding at 7 a. m. Sun
day. It was the last day to hunt for
the season. ,
