Salem. Oregon's machinery is all
set for the distribution of sugar ra
tioning books just as soon as the
office of price administration deter
mines the registration dates, accord
ing to Rex Putnam, state superin
tendent of education who has charge
of the big job. School houses all
over the state will serve as registra
tion centers and teachers will do the
registering and distribute the books.
The registration period is expected
to cover four days with registra
tion offices open from 4 to 6 p. m.
and 7 to 9 p. m.
Each of the ration books will con
tain 28 stamps and each member of
the family, regardless of age, will
be entitled to a book, but stamps
will be torn out of the books for
sugar on hand at the time of regis
tration. All community fetes, fairs, round
ups, regattas or other events at
tracting crowds of 5000 or more per
sons must have the approval of the
military commander of the Pacific
northwest area under new instruc
tions just received by Governor
Sprague from Lieutenant General
DeWitt. Even after receiving ap
proval these events are subject to
cancellation on short notice if later '
developments justify such action,
General DeWitt said.
C. H. Gram, state labor commis
sioner for the past 24 years, will
retire from public life at the expir
ation of his term next January. In
announcing his decision not to seek
re-election again Gram endorsed
the candidacy of W. E. Kimsey, dep
uty commissioner in charge of the
Portland branch of the labor bureau.
Before becoming labor commission
er in 1919 Gram served for 12 years
as deputy in the department under
O. P. Hoff. He has been elected to

Here's the answer to the world-wide cry for
low-cost horseless farming.
Whether you have a small farm or need
auxiliary power for a large farm, the smaller,
lower-priced Model "H" will handle your every
job at rock-bottom cost.
Delivers 3-way power. Cultivates 2 rows.
Fits all crops. Equipment for every need.
Powered with a simple 2-cylinder engine, the
Model "H" burns low-cost fuel and gives you
longer life, greater dependability.

the office six times.
Investors in revenue bonds issued
by Peoples Utility Districts must
depend upon revenues from the
power and light system for their in
terest and principal payments, ac
cording to Attorney General Van
Winkle. In an opinion to the State
Hydroelectric commission the at
torney general ruled that these ob
ligations could not be met through
tax levies but must be met from
reverhies of the district after oper
ating expenses and taxes of the
district have been paid.
With less than three weeks re
maining until the deadline on pri
mary filings Oregon Democrats are
scurrying about in a desperate ef
fort to find some candidate to op
pose Chas. L. McNary in his cam
paign for re-election to another term
in the U. S. senate. This, too, in
spite of the fact that Willis Mahoney
of Klamajth Falls, Portland and
Washington, D. C, who came so
near to beating McNary six years
ago has come out in support of the
Republican senate leader with a
declaration that his support of the
national administration's defense
program has earned for him the right
to retain his seat for another term.
Democratic leaders are trying to
persuade Carl C. Donaugh, United
States district attorney, to enter the
lists against McNary but so far Do
naugh has shown no inclination to
give uplhis present job for a chance
at the senatorship.
That Robert S. Faireil, Jr., repub
lican, is not to remain unopposed in
his race for secretary of state now
appears certain. At least two Democrats-are
now seriously eyeing this
job. These are Francis Lambert,
Mtiltnomah county treasurer, and
Wm. A. Delzell, who served
retary to Governor Walter Pierce.
There is also still a possibility that
Farrell may have opposition in his
own camp with George Flagg, pre
sent deputy under Secretary of
State Snell, still seriously consider
ing entering the race to succeed his
present boss who is now engaged' in
a campaign for the republican nom
ination for governor against the pre
sent incumbent Charles A. Sprague.
