PAGE SIX Work of Ranger Not All Joy; Routine Told By F. F. WEHMEYER, District Ranger. Scarcely a day passes but some one will remark or pass the time of day with me in such a manner as would lead one to believe that they think the work in the Forest Serv ice is a sort of a paid vacation. I don't exactly resent it, but realize that my wages are paid by the pub lic. They have -a right to expect value in return. I have worked for the Forest Ser vice in capacity of guard and rang er since 1912 and think I have as good an idea of the field end of the work as any man in the service and better than anyone unfamiliar with the details of its administration. The job is not so soft one becomes flabby physically, neither do we be come bowlegged from carrying our money it is probably due to excess horse-back riding. Anyone who actively supervises and administers the work covering several different activities over an area half as large as some eastern states doesn't find much time hang ing heavily on his hands. From March 15 to the following November 15 is what we class as the active season. The past active season I got exactly four days off, including Sundays. Figuring an eight hour day as a fair basis of work, I av eraged 37 days per month. I am subject to call any time day or night for duty and during fire season the telephone bell will often jingle at any time between 4 a. m. and 11 p. m. From November 15 to the fol lowing March 15 is the inactive sea son. We then catch up with much correspondence and many reports that have been shelved or for which we gathered data during the open or active season. There is some time for study. The service has un dergone tremendous changes in the past twenty years. It is improving and expanding, everything has speeded up, all of which calls for many and rapid changes in proced ure and regulations. An official has to study to keep posted and be up to date in order to hold the job. During the winter, in addition to catching up with many reports for which the data was gathered dur ing the active season, we outline our work plans for a full year in ad vance. At first glance this might seem of little value but last winter when we made an analysis of the time needed we found it would take nearly 700 eight-hour work days to accomplish the work of supervis ion by the ranger of the Heppner district. This was with no allow ance for the many unexpected things that have the annoying habit of cropping up and demanding at tention. By planning in advance we got the work accomplished. We correlated all the work possible, de tailed jobs here and there to others and put in some mighty long days. But the work was done. These plans take several days but have proved their worth. We have a few miscellaneous small sales, some stock to count, as we try to visit each permittee run ning cattle during the winter months. We have various meetings with stock associations, then there is a detail to the supervisor's office for a few days. Here past work is reviewed. One seldom leaves feel ing at all flattereck Various forth coming field programs are discussed so there will be no misunderstand ing of one's responsibilities and also that one may become somewhat ac quainted with the official. LIONS PUT DRIVE OVER TOP WITH $72 (Continued from First Page.) County Creamery company, the club gave unanimous endorsement to the 10-cent tax on oleomargarine, the coloring of "oleo" green, and the cream grading regulation, bills for the provision of which were be fore the legislature Monday. Author ization was given the secretary to wire this action to eastern Oregon representatives, asking their sup port of the measures, and the wires were sent immediately. This action was taken in line with an establish ed policy of the club to lend every support possible to the basic indus tries of the state and county. Many Phases Cited. Mr. Shuirman, defining education as "preparation for future life," de picted the Important part physical education plays in the scheme of education generally. Physical ed ucation prepares the child for fu ture life by building up health, fos tering immunity from disease and correcting defaults in posture. Em phasis was placed more strongly, however, on its bearing on mental training. It plays an important part In control of emotions, the overcom ing of shyness, dissolution of wor ry, and coordination of the senses and actions. Important social as pects were also cited, in that chil dren of all social stations meet on a common plane in the playing of games, and also an outlet for the fighting instinct is provided through the hard playing of friendly games. That physical education also tends to moderate the sex problem, Mr. Shuirman said, is also being gener ally accepted, the belief being that exercise takes up much surplus sex energy. Committee Continued. M. L. Case, reporting for the Lions' cemetery committee, said the committee recommended that the city take over supervision of the cemetery, and that steps be taken to provide proper fencing and to secure such additional land as may be needed. The commimittee did not deem It feasible to attempt to get water for irrigation there at the presen.t time. President Sweek con tinued the committee to work fur ther on the matter. Lions gave warm reception to the announcement that their president, C. L. Sweek, had recently been ap pointed district deputy governor of Lions International, representing Jack Ferris of La Grande in this district Lions also gave a warm' welcome to the Sigma Delta Chi loving cup displayed at the meeting bv the Gazette Times. S. E. Notson announced a meet ing to be held at Alpine on the 16th when representatives of the Colum bia Valley .ssociation and the In land Waterways association will tell of the progress of river transporta tion activities. He urged attention to the meeting as one of importance to the entire county. LOAN MACHINERY GETS IN MOTION (Continued from First Fae.) mers Seed lxian urhce, Urand Forks, N. Dak. On receipt of the completed docu ments and approval of the applica tion by the designated representa tive of the Secretary of Agriculture at the Farmers' Seed Loan office, in itial payment of the loan will be made. The right is reserved to make payment of the loan in instal ments, the amount of each instal ment to be determined by the Secre tary of Agriculture through a desig nated representative. Initial pay ment will be made at the time the loan is approved and subsequent in stalments will follow at stated in tervals only if the expenditure of the initial payment is shown to be properly made through the submis sion of a report on a card furnished by the Department of Agriculture. Interest on the several instalments from the date of payment to the maturity date of the notes will be deducted from the last instalment. Interest at the rate of 5 per cent will be charged on all loans. ASK 10-CENT RAISE FOR OREGON WHEAT (Continued from First Page.) as compared with Chicago were re sponsible for the abnormal spread which existed when buying was started here. Before the buying started in Chicago, the spread was only 3c, now it is 13Hc "Correction of the present price discrimination will greatly help the cooperative movement. Ask Immediate Action. "In view of these facts we believe that in the name of justice the Pa cific Northwest pegged prices should be raised to the point in re relation with Chicago where they stood when stabilization was start ed; namely, about 3c under Chicago. To be effective, such action should be taken at once, as plowing has now started in this area, taxes are assessed March 1, and it is likely that much wheat will be sold with in the next thirty days." Revival Meet Continues With Increased Interest By REV. GLEN P. WHITE The special revival services open ed at the Methodist church on Sun day morning, and are scheduled to continue throughout the month. The meetings are in charge of Rev. Rob Brymer, evangelist, and open ed with good attendance all day Sunday, with indications pointing to increased interest as the meet ings go on. REV. ROB BRYMER, Evangelist. Friday night will be high school night, and an appropriate address will be made to the young people. The choir is singing popular negro spirituals in addition to the usual revival hymns, and they are well received by the people. The evan gelist sings a special solo each eve ning, and other singers are to take part. Some of the subject titles of ser mons being used are "A Great De tective," "A Bad Bargain," "What Is a Christian? "Scarcely Saved," "Life's Failure," "Daring for God," "Heroes and Cowards." Well at tended Bible readings on vital sub jects are being held in the, parson age each afternoon at 3 o'clock, last ing one hour only, to which all are cordially invited. The evangelist has for many years conducted meet ings of this nature in California and the northwest and is well rec ommended by church leaders every where, by whom he Is constantly employed. Helen Twclvetrees in HER MAN, Star Theater Sunday and Monday. The church night midweek service of the Church of Christ was held at the church parlors on Wednesflay evening, with a good attendance of the membership. At this meeting it was decided to change the time to Thursday, and hereafter this will be the permanent date for the mid week Bervice of the church. Joel R.

Rcbcrt Jarmon of EXPERTS UPSET COOKING IDEAS Tests Show Quick Cooking of Meat Is Not Best Method; Other Kitchen Hints Given. Age-old culinary lore to the con trary notwithstanding, it is now known that searing a roast before putting it in the oven does not con tribute to the development or reten tion of the flavor nor lessen the loss es in cooking. This statement was made by Miss Agnes Kolshorn, pro fessor of foods and nutrition at Or egon State college, in speaking be fore a group of women registered for the annual Household Equip ment short course last week. Shattering other custom-sanctioned ideas in meat cookery, Miss Kol shorn also said that better results are obtained by cooking a roast in an uncovered than in a covered pan, and that there is little difference be tween a roast started in a cold oven and one put in after the oven is heated. The roast put in the heat ed oven may be a trifle better browned, but other factors will not be affected, said Miss Kolshorn. Culinary authorities have former ly believed that quick cooking at high temperature was not detrimen tal to the tender cuts of meat, Miss Kolshorn said. But this idea, too, has changed, and the concensus now is that slower cooking at lower temperatures will improve even the tenderest cuts of meat. Making of mayonnaise also came in for discussion, and Miss Kol shorn pointed out that, contrary to former opinion, temperature, with in ordinary limits, has little effect on the process or the product, and that chilling of the oil and bowl Is unnecessary. Another idea brought out was that while many home makers know that an unsatisfac tory mayonnaise mixture can be re deemed by beating It into another egg, this can be accomplished just as effectively by beating the mix ture into a teaspoonful of cold wa ter. At present egg priced, how ever, there is little inducement to forego uso of the egg. Other States Bothered By Tax Problems Also Evidently both the states of Washington and Idaho are having acute tax problems as well as our own state of Oregon. By the Ore gonlan of yesterday, it is noted that the Idaho legislature has passed an Income tax bill, and hopes to relieve the burden of taxation In that state by this means. From the same pa per, under date of February 9 Is a dispatch from Caldwell, which Bays that the Nampa Valley grange on that date issued a call for a state meeting of farmers In Boise on the Wednesday following for the pur pose of bringing pressure upon the legislature to enact farm tax relief. The grange was favoring a graduat ed income tax law, the abolishment of commissioner of education, a tax on mines, a state-wide equalization school tax, and also a hydro-eloctric tax was favored. It is presumed that this action may have had some r- .-- 4 i Echo, general chairman, has been assisted by the following commit tee heads: Donoval Kuhl, Prairie City, social events; Paul Mahoney, Monrovia, Cal., housing; Frank Mil ler, Palo Alto, traffic; and Wjaldo Taylor, Portland, publicity. Heads of school committees pre paring exhibits are Eugene Gross, Halfway, agriculture; Herbert Staples, Corvallis, forestry; Marga ret Coats, Albany, home economics; Nadine Millhollen, Corvallis, libra effect on the passage by the Idaho legislature of the income tax bill. Washington farmers are also aroused over the burdensome real estate taxes in that state. Accord ing to the Oregon Farmer a large body of farmers in Eastern Wash ington have agreed to refuse to pay their 1931 taxes unless a law is passed in the present session cor recting the unequal levy against land. They demand a 50 per cent cut on property, pointing out that now 32 per cent of the peopleof Washington pay 85 per cent of the taxes and that this condition must be corrected with an income or sales tax, or combination of both. Unless action is taken at Olympia soon, they threaten to charter a train and go to the state capitol in a body, wearing their "every-day" clothes, and give the legislature a first-hand ultimatum.

Breakfast is Important Says Nutrition Teacher Trying to start the day's work without breakfast is like trying to start the flivver without fuel you qan't get away with it, says Miss Lillian Taylor, professor of foods and nutrition at Oregon State col lege. The human machine, like any oth er, needs energy to make it go. Twelve or 14 hours after the eve ning meal the stomach" is empty, and "refueling" is necessary if the body ia to function efficiently. This means a good breakfast one that furnishes at least a fourth of the day's food, something that many thousands of Americans, especially working girls, school children and overweight parents try to get along Without, says Miss Taylor. Going without breakfast Is poor practice for the fat person as well as the thin, Miss Taylor points out, Overweight persons, she says, often go without the morning meal and sometimes without lunch, with the result that they have an uncontrol lable appetite at night They eat, go to sleep, and become fatter. For thin persons, going without breakfast means missing one of the three chances during the day to ob tain building materials and food supplies for the body. They run a great risk of being undernourished, a condition which may cause sus ceptibility to disease, nervousness, poor teeth, early old age, and other disorders. "The fact is," says Miss Taylor, "that three meals a day are not DR. J. P.
