THAT monomaniac Hitler has just grabbed off another slice of Eu rope. He did that after telling Messrs. Chamberlain and Daladier that he wouldn't do any such thing. And now the world is mad at Herr Hit ler. It is so mad that it will proba bly still be talking about the lost Czechs while Mr. Hitler takes a few more slices. The world is shaky over the little piece of humanity who wears an in verted glove brush grotesquely at tached to his upper lip. But while European neighbors are pondering his conquests as evidences of rees- tablishment of empire or as plain salve to egoism, we say ho, hum, let's go fishing. No it isn't time for the finny, brook inhabitants, yet. They must wait to get the mud out of their eyes so they can see the sparkling fly. But there's bass to be had down on the river, or, if not to be had, then there's the warm sun a' shining on the sands, and the shade of a tree close at hand where that nodding impdlse may be given vent to produce sound slumber. What if a buzzing fly does twitch the nose, or perhaps a crawling doodad take up abode inside the trousers. It's spring, and varmint, with man, will have his day. Right now the wheat is bursting through the steaming ground; the lambs are gamboling on the green hillsides, and (it always should be said) the crocuses are in bloom. Anyway, the lilac bushes are swell ing with buds, and varied trees are starting their new leaves, and cer tain it is conversation is turning more to fishing and baseball while the gait of the man about town has become noticeably more ambling. With this kind of a world about us and the zest for life that it brings, what do we care about Hitler? Ger mans may say "Heil" if they wish, but we say "Humph" to any dictator. Farm Security Loans Made Available Loans for necessary operating goods and cooperative facilities are available through the Farm Security administration to farmers unable to secure credit from other sources, announces R. S. Thompson, FSA su pervisor, Federal building, Pendle ton. All applications for financing of the present crop year should be submitted as soon as possible to fa cilitate purchase of needed livestock, feed, seed, farm equipment and other requirements. A farmer eligible for a rehabili tation loan must have satisfactory tenure of a farm large enough to provide a livelihood for his family if necessary operating goods are pro vided, Each farmer works out with the supervisor a practical farm and home plan that will provide a bal anced livestock and cropping pro gram as well as place the farm on a business-like basis. Loans for cooperative facilities such as equipment, purebred sires, and purchasing pools can be made where several farmers band togeth er to purchase facilities which are beyond the reach of the individual but can be economically used on a cooperative basis. Cooperative loans are usually made for the life of the facility with interest at three per cent. Two types of loans known as the master-borrower loan where other cooperators sign participating agreements, or a cooperative loan where all share responsibility joint ly, are available. Where debt burdens are beyond capacity of the operator to pay, ev ery effort is made to adjust the debts before a loan is made. Speed, Carelessness Bugbears to Safety Several sobering facts stood out last week as Oregon counted its 27 February traffic dead. First, that no one type of acci dent and no one locality can be at tacked as the chief offenders in causing loss of life on our highways. Seven distinct types of mishaps con tributed to the total, with five of the seven types accounting for two or more lives. Fatal accidents were widely scattered, with deaths in eastern Oregon, in Multnomah coun ty, on the coast and lower Colum bia, in southern Oregon and in the Willamette valley. Second, that speed and careless ness are still the bugbears of all who seek safety on the highways. Three drivers were killed in three differ ent accidents when their vehicles rammed into fixed objects. Three other persons were killed in a sin gle collision on the Lower Columbia River highway. Four were killed in non-collision accidents, which sel dom occurs except where excessive speed sends the automobile off the roadway. Third, that pedestrians, and par ticularly elderly pedestrians, must be more alert in crossing streets and highways, and drivers must be more cautious in passing them. Eight pe destrians, six of them past the age of 55, were on the traffic death roll last month. G. T. Want Ads bring results. IRRIGON NEWS Boy Chops Fingers While Splitting Wood By MRS. W. C.

Ewes With Twin Lambs Need More Grain Feed Twin lambs will make faster and more economical gains if the ewes are fed more grain with hay than is ordinarily the case, according to feeding tests conducted at the east ern Oregon livestock branch experi ment station at Union. When ewes with twin lambs were fed alfalfa without grain, they did not produce enough milk for the lambs, and these soon showed a stunted appearance. Twin lambs of ewes getting third cutting alfalfa hay and IV2 pounds of grain per day made an average daily gain of slight ly over one-half pound each, which meant a production of one pound of lamb per day for each ewe, besides supporting the wool crop she was growing. Third cutting alfalfa proved defin itely superior to second cutting for feeding ewes. Ewes with single lambs did well on one-half pound of grain with hay. "The rapid gains made by suck ling lambs are cheap gains," says D. E. Richards, superintendent. "Con sidering feeds consumed and gains made, a pound of gain was put on a nursing lamb for about one-half the cost of putting a pound of gain on a 60- to 70-pound feed lot lamb. Youngsters who break traffic laws in La Porte, Indiana, are accorded a unique type of trial. The judge who hears the case is 17 years old and the prosecuting attorney is 14 years old. Actions by this court have the full force of law and the de cisions are backed up by the city officials. Reports indicate that ju venile offenders learn the safety les sons much more quickly from their equals than from adult courts.

Since 1933, the brewing industry has bought 15 billion pounds of American farm products . . . paying good prices, too. Add to that, the million jobs that Beer has made . . . and the fact that Beer pays a mil lion dollars a day in taxes : local, state, national. To safeguard these advantages, the brew ing industry stands ready to cooperate fully with all law enforcement authorities. The brewers can enforce no laws . . . but they do insist that retail beer outlets should give no offense to anyone. Would you like a booklet that describes the brewers' program of direct action?
