o The Speakership
o Neighbor Week
o Occupation Quiz

Salem. While it is rather early in
the season to begin counting Speak
ership chickens at least three can
didacies for that top-flight House
job are already incubating.
Two candidates have already pub
licly announced their desire to wield
the Speaker's gavel. These are John
F. Steelhammer of Salem and H.
H. Chindgren of Molalla. Friends of
Wm, M. McAllister of Medford say
that he also has his sights set on
this honor. Both Steelhammer and
McAllister were active candidates
for the Speakership two years ago
when the honor went to Robert S.
Farrell, Jr., of Portland.
All three candidates for the
Speakership, of course, have two
hurdles to surmount before they can
start any serious campaigning for
the House chairmanship the pri
mary and general elections. In that
respect, however, McAllister has a
decided advantage over his two op
ponents as his legislative district is
entitled to two seats in the House
and there are only two candidates,
both Republicans. Steelhammer, on
the other handi is running in a field
of eight republican candidates for
the four Marion county House seats
and the Democrats have one candi
date in the field who is expected to
make some Republican a bit of trou
ble in the fall election. While Chind
gren is practically assured of the
Republican nomination, there be
ing only three candidates for the
three seats, the Democrats also have
a full ticket in the field in that
county.
Oregon's industrial payroll for the'

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."

The state bond commission has
invested $2,000,000 of surplus funds

the drain on the general fund will
begin to be felt with no more big
tax payments due again until next
spring.

Reclassification of Oregon's 111-A
men is making a number of married
men immediately available for mil
itary service, according to Colonel

selective service. Married men with
no children and whose wives are
capable of earning their own living
are no longer entitled to deferred
classification, Wooten said. Neither
is a job in a defense industry
grounds for deferment, Wooten said.
