Humph Hitler!"
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.

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.

GOOD crops at good prices . . . isn't that the
kind of farm relief that farmers really want?
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.

brewers' program of direct action? Address:
