The state highway road grader and truck is temporarily laid up pending arrival of a new truck. It was the intention of the highway engineers to replace the old truck with a new o ic. due this Saturday, but somehow the old standby became cognizant of its official demise and or. Tuesday re fused to function. At the time of the break down the outfit was busy scarifying the highway immediately south of Moro with the intention of resurfacing that portion of the high way. The new truck is due to arrive Saturday, after which the work will j roceed to completion. ported. ‘‘Most of the proposed imports of from six to nine million bushels of wheat with a possible maximum of twelve million bushels, will be in the form of flour,’* the department said. “In order to purchase this wheat and flour together with much needed supplies of cotton, textiles, machinery, rubber and other commod ities, Russia must build up a trade balance by exports of other commodi ties. In the first six months of 1924, soviet Russis had a large favorable balance of trade, but in this balance, bread grains constituted the largest item. It seem probable therefore that during 1925 the soviet govern ment will make a great effort to in crease exports of other products such as butter and eggs, forest products, furs, bristles,'petroleum products and minerals. ’’ Reports of, prospects for grain crops in Russia in 1926 are conflict ing. The International Institute of Agriculture reports thst Russian fall seedings are not larger than last year, and that in the Ukraine, according to the Institute, wheat seedings are larger than last year,but rye seeding* are smaller. Weather conditions in Russia have not been generally favorable for win ter cereals, and it is probable that winter killing will be heavy. In the important winter wheat areas of the southwest, however . weather con ditions were more favorable than elsewhere. The soviet government is urging the peasants to increase spring seedings in order to make good the loase* from winter killing, and it is reported that much of the foreign grain purchases will be distributed to the peasants for seed. ChiU Labor Amendment Rejected Somewhere from fifteen to twenty states, through their respective legis lative assemblie«, have rejected the federal child labor amendment; while some three or four have acted favor ably. The amendment is therefore A three-fourths hoplessly beaten, is vote necessary for ratification If obviously out of the question, any such proposal shall ever be adopted, it must be in greatly modi fied form. Oregon went definitely on record against the measure when the state senate voted it down, two to one. A tide-stepping proposal to refer the Vhole thing to the people was like wise rejected. The action of the people could only be advisory; it is the business of the legislature. Be tides, the matter haa been fully set tled elsewhere. Whatever one may think about the merits of child labor restriction by constitutor a I amendment, it is per fectly clear what defeated It. It was the general conviction 'that it took in too much territory. VahuMe Pirkat it Ceffi Fak Through the courtesy of Frank A.
