Fashions
Rivaling nature's fall colors this
week was Clara Adams in a grape,
wine sweater with small angora
strips resembling frost on the front,
worn with a forest green skirt.
Equally smart but along a different
line were the black velveteen jack
ets worn with white cotton blouses
sported by Jean Hays and Cora Scott.
The outtsanding fashion among the
boys this week was Francis Bailey's
dark green slip-over, fish-tail sweat
er with small zippered pockets, worn
with greenish - blue pin striped
trousers.
Heppner to Play Arlington
It has been debated the last two
days as to whether Heppner would
play Arlington. The reason for the
debate was due to reports of several
cases of infantile paralysis there,
News received from reliable sources,
however, report the rumors false.
In past years Arlington has been
a strong opponent for the Heppner
team. Last year they defeated the
Mustangs 6-0 on the Arlington field.
To counteract this defeat the Hepp
ner team took Arlington to the tune
of 25-0.
Heppner Downs Jackrabbits
Friday, Oct. 20, the Heppner Mus
tangs journeyed to Lexington and
engaged in six-man football combat
with the Lexington jackrabbits.
Heppner won 31-11. Coach Knox let
only the second-string boys play.
The touchdowns were chalked up
by Gilman, Moore and Snow. Gil
man accounted for the first one, and
pasesd to O'Donnell for the con
version. Moore made two touch
downs and Snow two. For Lexing
ton, Jackson made both touchdowns
on end sweeps. He also did most of
his team's passing.
STATE
CAPITAL
NEWS
o Rogers Appointed
P Guard to Work
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem Governor Charles A. Spra
gue this week appointed A. A. Rog
ers, a republican and former presi
dent of the First National Bank of
Eugene, to succeed Mark Skinner as
state banking superintendent. The
news of the appointment came as a
surprise to the capital political ob
servers, who had expected Fred S.
Lamport, Salem, former banker and
close personal friend of the govern
or, to get the $5,000-a -year job. The
move was looked on as a compro
mise measure because the inde
pendent bankers were known to hold
for the retention of Skinner, but,
on the other hand, republican pres
sure on the board was strong. Can
didates for the position were nu
merous and political gossip was vol
uminous since Skinner's term ex
pired October 1.
Next in line for the axe, it is be
lieved, is H.ugh Earle, state insurance
commissioner. He is one of the few
old-line democrats still holding down
one of the $5,000-a-year jobs and it
is felt that, republican replacements
having gone as far as they have
Earle will be replaced with little
compunction. Dan J. Fry, state pur
chasing agent and a democrat, holds
down one of the best jobs on the
state list. Fry is also secretary to the
republican board of control and
draws a $5,340-a-year salary which
should provide a fine target for re
publican office-seekers.
Indications that liquor establish
ments operating as private clubs
are in for some tough sledding
ahead were seen here this week
when Joseph J. Hague, liquor ad
ministrator, and Governor Sprague
had a long talk together. The day
following the conference Hague and
several Salem churchmen met on the
invitation of Cecil Edwards, private
secretary to the governor. Hague,
using a local private club-bar es
tablishment as the specific example,
said that as long as the establish'
ments refrained from selling liquor
they were outside the authority of
the Knox liquor law and that their
regulation was purely a local mat'
ter. Most of the clubs have the
"members" furnish their own liquor
and charge a fee for mixing drinks
and in some cases a cover or entrance
fee. The administrator's meeting
here was the first of a series thru
out the state all with the same pur
pose in mind. The day following the
meeting of the ministers and Hague,
Governor Sprague, addressing the
state W. C. T. U. convention here,
suggestetd that the members seek
closer regulation of 'establishments
that operate as private clubs as part
of their campaign against liquor,
They later passed a resolution to that
effect.
Under instructions from the war
department this week the Oregon
National guard was put on a double
training program. Instead of drilling
once a week as has been the prac
tice, the guardsmen will have two
nights of drill each week. In add!
tion a seven-day field training pro
gram will be sandwiched in some
time between now and the end of
January. So that guardsmen will
not be unduly inconvenienced in
their civilian occupations the field
training will be done on several suc
cessive week ends. Land will be
leased by the federal governmnt for
this field training close to the guard
home stations except in the case of
Portland where troops will train on
the Clackamas rifle range or at Van
couver barracks. Federal funds have
been provided to cover the added
expense.
Martin Clark, Christian minister,
started for the timber Monday to
remain until the season's close if
necessary to get himself a buck.
wf- -i ui" - -i
Washington, D. C, Oct 26 It is
practically all over but the shout
ing (most of which has been going
on for a month) enactment of the
so-called neutrality law. The admin
istration steam roller has crushed the
opposition. The advocates of retain
ing the embargo on war munitions
have known for weeks that their
case was hopeless, but sincerely be
lieving that the embargo was the
best plan to keep America out of
the war, they made their arguments.
Whether they are right or wrong the
next 18 months will telL
Lately the advocates of the plan
to sell munitions have indulged in a
"smear" campaign against any prom
inent individual who disagreed with
them. A group politically and finan
cially influential and in control of
three sources of communication
radio, moving pictures and a portion
of the press has featured senate
speeches for repeal and almost ig
nored senators who want the em
bargo retained, and accused any pri
vate person holding an opposite
view of being a booster for Hitler.
It has been high power propaganda
and makes the German bund prop
aganda look amateurish.
Some day someone will write the
story, naming names. In the national
capital the inside of how and why
the heat was turned on congress and
how the American public has been
"educated" is known, but the facts
are not put in type. Make no mis'
take, there is a "war party," a pow
erful group, in the United States.
Here is another development of
the war which affects the Pacific
northwest, the sheepmen this time.
Great Britain has contracted to buy
all of the Australian and New Zea
land wool during the war and in
tends dumping several million
pounds on the American domestic
market. Australian 1939-40 wool
clip is estimated at 1,005 million
poungls in the grease and the New
Zealand clip will be about 350 mil
lion pounds. British government is
paying 17.8 cents for Australian and
16.2 for New Zealand wool.
Unofficial reports are that a deal
is being negotiated between the Uni
ted States and Great Britain to take
250 million pounds from the Aus
tralian clip. The wool is to be auc
tioned and the state department has
been requested to have these auc
tions held in Portland and San Fran
cisco. Until Great Britain annonces
its plan for distribution the state
department is mum as an oyster.
Cold figures on world trade pre
sent a revealing picture of inescap
able results in the event of failure
to negotiate a new trade treaty with
Japan to succeed the 1911 agree
ment recently denounced by Secre
tary of State Cordell Hull. The sit
uation will be bad for Pacific north'
west lumber industry and especial
ly disastrous to American cotton
growers, with depressing influences
on many other lines of industry, ac
cording to students of world trade
conditions.
Until a few years ago Japan, which
now equals Great Britain in vol
ume of textile exports, obtained
most of its raw cotton from India,
but the larger part of its supply is
now purchased in the United States
and accounts for an impressive per
centage of the American cotton ex
port.
Despite the unfortunate China
"incident," Japan's foreign trade in
1938 was 14 per cent greater than
the previous five-year average, with
the United States its best customer
both in volume of Japanese exports
and imports. Last year the United
States was responsible for 34.4 per
cent in volume of Japanese imports
and 15.8 per cent of the exports, and
with definite prospect that com-J
merce between the two nations
would steadily increase. The normal
rate of increase would be enormos
ly multiplied by an early end of the
conflict between Japan and China.
Employes of the pulp and paper
industry of the northwest are urg
ing congress to curtail foreign com
petition. Since the war began im
ports have decreased, with a conse
quent activity in Oregon and Wash
ington plants and the reopening of
mills which had been closed for sev
eral years. Employes, as well as the
management, realize that the spurt
is only good for the duration of the
war unless congress takes action.
Democratic congressmen of the
Pacific northwest, who will recom
mend the district supervisors and
enumerators for the census, are al
ready realizing that patronage is no
blessing. Census patronage was a
concession made while the adminis
tration was rounding up votes in
the house of representatives for re
peal of the arms embargo. Under the
Hatch act no census worker can be
a member of a political organization
whether it is democratic or Com
monwealth Federation. Republicans
need not feel disturbed as few, if
any, will get these jobs.
Explanation why so many motion
picture stars are visiting the na
tional capital and being photographed
with lawmakers is this: Big shots of
the movie industry want to kill the
legislation which would abolish bloc
booking. It has passed the senate and
is now in the house. Bloc booking
compels an exhibitor to take punk
films in order to rent the features
which are popular. Every cinema
palace not owned by the producers
is interested in the measure.

and children visited over the week
end at Umatilla at the home of Mrs.
Baldwin's parents, Mr. and Mrs,
