You're in for the surprise of your life when
you see and drive the John Deere Model "H"
the sensational new small tractor that handles
two-row equipment and completely replaces
animal power on small and large farms every
where, cutting costs 'way below their former
level, and making farming more profitable.
And when you learn the price, you'll wonder
how John Deere can give you so much in a tractor
that sells for so little.
In addition, the Model "H" not only burns low
cost fuel but it uses only 13 to 12 as much fuel
on the many jobs within its power range, as would
larger tractors handling the same load.
Come in, see it, and get "the surprise of your
life."

A total of 68,779 Oregon regis
trants have been given deferred
classification because of dependents.
This figure represents two-thirds of
the number coming within the draft
age.
The city of Baker has offered to
turn over the public natatorium in
that city to the state for use as an
armony. Lt. Col. Elmer V. Wooten,
acting adjutant general, estimates
that it will cost approximately $20,
000 to remodel the building to suit
the needs of an armory. This mon
ey is available in an appropriation
set aside by the last legislature if
the gift is accepted by the board of
control as it is expected to be.
Fewer than one-third of the in
dustries in this state which are eli
gible for an experience rate are
paying penalty rates above the nor
mal 2.7 under the new system which
went into effect July 1, according
to a report of the Oregon Unem
ployment Compensation commission.
The penalized firms are largely those
in the logging and lumbering indus
try, building and general contract
ors. Under the experience rating
plan which rewards as well as pen
alizes industries, dependent upon
the employment experience of each
firm, 70 firms now contribute on a
basis of one per cent, 615 contribute
on a basis of 1.5 per cent; 1344 pay
at the rate of two per cent; 1857
still pay the normal rate of 2.7 per
cent; 567 pay 3 per cent; 422 pay 3.5
per cent and 1209 firms pay the
maximum rate of four per cent.
Governor Sprague this week re
ceived a check for $1000 from the
sisters of the late Miss Harriett
Long, former state librarian. The
money will be invested by the state
treasurer and the income from the
investment will be used in the pur
chase of books for the library for
which funds are not available, in
conformity with a request made by
5,500 tons of walnuts
this year by the department of ag
riculture. The department also says
there is a brisk demand for pickers
to harvest the nuts. Owing to war
conditions, the tonnage will be con
sumed in this country.
OPM has notified a timber con
tractor in the northwest that . he
must produce heavily of spruce for
airplanes in December, January and
February, the worst months in the
year for logging. The operator is
now seeking lend-lease funds, as
the spruce is to be used by the
British, to cut the logs before bad
weather starts. No funds are yet
available, and the operator is be
coming anxious.
