Unemployment Cost Down for Period Unemployment insurance pay ments for the month just past were less than half those of March, 1940, while a comparison for the entire first quarter shows a drop of 28.7 percent from last year. The monthly resume just issued by Aciministrator Silas Gaiser shows benefits of $419,163 paid to the un employed during March, bringing the total for the year to $1,170,812. These figures compare with $895,917 and $1,641,682 last year. Initial claims filed to date total 33,505, as compared with 41,000 for the same period of 1940, a drop of 18.3 percent. Last year 6,963 claim ants drew their entire benefits of $533,208 during the first quarter, while this year 4,086 workers drew $351,818 in maximum benefits. Employers' contributions paid to March 31, amounted to $1,813,667, an increase of nearly 3 per cent over last year's first quarter taxes. The unemployment trust fund in creased from $10,056,332 to $10, 701,773 during the first three months of 1941. This compares with $7, 934,070 a year ago and $6,086,531 in 1939. Despite recent legislative enact ments removing coverage on young news-carriers, sorority and frater nity employees and fruit packing workers, officials expect contribu tions to remain close to 1940 levels. New experience rates, which take effect July 1, also may cut taxes slightly, but the full effect probably will not be felt until 1942, when the fund "ceiling" of about $14,200,000 may be reached with its subsequent elimination of all penalty rates above 2.7 percent.

Herringbone, Diagonal, Check and Other Patterns WILSON'S MENS' WEAR The Store of Personal Service Some Profit in Cockerels Found In College Test Under normal economic conditions operators who have ample brooding equipment and favorable market outlets may convert surplus leghorn cockerels into a marketable product at a small profit per bird. Such is the conclusion reached by repre sentatives of the poultry and agri cultural engineering departments of the Oregon experiment station, who have been conducting experiments on cockerel rearing at the request of Oregon poultrymen. A new bulletin recording the re sults of the experiment was the development of an O. S. C. broiler ration. Because Oregon produces a surplus of grain as well as a surplus of leghorn day-old cockerels, at tempt was made to produce a satis factory ration which would consist of bulk grains which could be fed separately at less cost than where all-mash feeds were used. An O. S. C. broiler mas was de veloped which consists of a relative ly fast growing ration containing an efficient balance of quality pro teins that would permit the feeding of liberal amounts of lower priced grains. It was found that the best ration is the most efficient growing ration rather than a fattening one. Tests were made with rearing broilers in batteries as well as on floors. The battery-reared leghorn broilers were approximately a week ahead of the floor-reared birds at eight weeks, and the battery-reared Rhode Island reds made more effi cient gains than the leghorns for the same period. The authors add that rearing broil ers of any breed in commercial numbers with battery equipment is a hazardous undertaking unless housed in a well ceiled room where room temperature, ventilation, and humidity may be definitely controlled.

The great majority of beer retail estab lishments are clean wholesome places. Yet it is the once -in -a-while excep tionthe anti-social, law-violating tavern that everybody notices. Such undesirable retailers give beer a bad name it doesn't deserve. Further more, by arousing public indignation, retailing abuses endanger your right to enjoy good beer, the beverage of moder ation. They also endanger the benefits that beer has brought to Oregon 13,238 persons employed since re-legal ization, an annual payroll of $11,541,550 and $617,020.86 taxes paid last year. While it is the brewers' responsibility to brew good beer and the retailers' responsibility to sell it under wholesome conditions, nevertheless the brewing in dustry wants anti-social retailing elimi nated entirely. You can help us by (l) patronizing only the legal and reputable places where beer is sold and (2) by reporting any law violations you may observe to the duly constituted law enforcement authorities.
