Usually, when backing up to a drawn im ple m ent, you go a little too far—then, standing on the ground, you use the hand clutch lever to bring your tractor far enough forward for an easy coupling—i t ’s a one-man job. Now that you're all set to go. you’ll say: “ What wonderful vision, how easy it is to steer, how comfortable is this bucket-type seat—say, this is a treat, as compared with that horse- drawn outfit I ’ve been using.’’ Why don’t you stop in and let us point out the many other outstanding John Deere fea tures. Braden-Bell Traeter & Equipment Co. PENDLETON • PHONE 518 YOUR FUEL DOLLAR G OES FA RTH ER IN A JOHN DEERE At Parkland hospital in Dallas, Texas, there’s a small, prosaic-look ing department where physicians, harnessing the mysteries of the Roentgen rays, are battling cancer, locating bullets and knife blades in pain-wracked bodies, finding unsus pected fractures, treating boils and in general making life easier for some 14,300 Dallasites each year. It’s the X-ray department, where more than 35 persons, most of them unable to pay, go each day with a cross-section of life’s ills. There were, for example, the re cent cases of the two middle-aged men with indigestion. Both appeared at the hospital within a few days of each other, with unmistakable symp toms of indigestion and were re ferred to the X-ray department for study. Examination in each case showed a large lump, bigger than a man’s fist, in the stomach. On ques tioning, both men said they had eat en green persimmons in December. As there is no digestive juice to dissolve green persimmons, they simply stayed where they landed, collected other food particles and started to cause trouble. Operations promptly ' restored the patients’ health. Their films show the location of bullets which must be removed by in tricate operations. Sometimes their findings, because of the vagaries of the human body, go for naught, as in the case of the man and the moving slug. This patient was admitted with a bullet lodged in his stomach. The X-ray department determined its ex act location and an operation was decided on for the next morning. When the hour drew near, doctors again examined the patient but no trace of the bullet could they find. The man watched them closely. Finally, “Looking for this?” he asked, picking up the bullet from a bedside table. He had spat it up during the night. SHORT COURSE GWEN FOR CANNERYMEN Nineteen years ago Oregon State college drew nation-wide attention by holding the first short course for com mercial cannerymen, who were invit ed to leave their own businesses long enough to come to college and “brush up” on newest methods. Every year since, a similar and enlarged course has been given, and now the twenti eth annual Canners and Frozen Food Packers school is announced for Feb ruary 3 to 15, inclusive. The course is offered in the food industries department, which is rec ognized as one of the outstanding re search centers in the country in the field of food processing. Courses of fered will include instruction in hand ling frozen fruits and vegetables, a course for food industry field men, a course dealing with fruit and vege table canning, and a mechanical course in handling modern cannery machinery. Raw Food Craze The raw-food craze is a form of the roughage fad. The average, nor mal individual may well eat some raw food daily. But in spite of oc- I casional “ freak” cases, the use of an exclusively raw-food diet is not i conducive to the best state of nu trition. Many foods are more com pletely and easily absorbed if cooked. Vegetables are not only made more appetizing by cooking, but what is still more important, the starch cells under the influence of heat burst and permit the diges tive juices to reach the contained starch. The words of the wise man, “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose,” may well be applied to the use of foods. There is a place in the diet for concentrat ed foods as well as for moderate amounts of roughage. Difficulties result from the overuse of either. insurance policy that is backed by A W only a m inim um o i q uick assets cannot give yon 100% protection against financial loss.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF HERMISTON B F B. SW AYZE. P re sid e n t Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation DOES FORD PAY GOOD WAGES? H ere are some facts about Ford Labor. During the year ended November 30th, 1940, the Ford Payroll throughout the United States averaged 113,628 hourly wage earners, not including office em ployes, students, or executives. They were paid $185,105,639.12. On this basis, the average annual wage was $1,629.05. According to the latest available govern ment figures, the annual average wage of all workers in employment covered by old age insurance law was $841.00. If the 45,000,000 workers of this country received the same average wage as Ford employes, they would have had additional wages of more than $35,000,000,000, thus increasing the national income about 50%. Think what such an increase would mean to the workers of this country and to the American farmer, whose prices are based on the national income. Wage scales in the Ford Rouge plants are divided into three classifications: Unskilled . . . Minimum hiring wage . 75c per hour Semi-skilled . . . Minimum hiring wage . 80c per hour Skilled . . . Minimum hiring wage . 90c per hour Higher wages are in consideration of ability and years of service. Minimum wage scales for unskilled labor at the Rouge plant are the highest in the industry. Top wages for skilled labor compare favorably with, or are higher than, wages in other automobile plants. Now some facts on Ford labor conditions; Water Samples Hobby A liner on its way to America once carried in its hold a number of large crates, each packed tight with bot tles containing discolored water. This was a collection amassed over a number of years by an enthusi astic American, who claimed to have samples of water from all the big ports of the world and also of many of the lakes and inland seas. It is doubtful whether a collection of this sort can have any value, scien tific or otherwise, but the man re sponsible was most proud of it. Queer cargoes of this type are some- times heavily insured as this one happened to be. f DESCHUTES OUTLOOK MEET STARTS SERI ES Committees named at the recent county farm outlook meeting at Red mond, Oregon, are now at work pre paring tentative reports to be sub mitted to another county-wide meet ing January 22, according to E. H. Young of Redmond, chairman of the meeting. The Deschutes county meet ing held in December served as a trial gathering for a series of 36 , meetings sponsored by the extension service at Oregon State college on the general theme of “The Agricultural Outlook and Its Relationship to Nat-! ional Preparedness.” Extension officials were highly pleased at the interest shown in this ‘H ot D og S tand’ O w ner first meeting, and at the enthusiasm Sets U p Business Creed of the the farm and home leaders in Bushy Barnes read in the paper taking up the committee work. that the U. S. Chamber of Com merce “thinks every business ought to have a creed”—some kind of a motto or declaration of independ ence—something you hang on the wall. So he wrote himself one, one that he means to live up to and “maybe some other hot-dog stands will be interested.” Here it is; There’s nothing scrubby about a well-scrubbed joint. Hungry people have short tem pers. If you gotta growl at ’em, feed ’em well first. The way I get rid of loafers is to keep bumming them for ciga rettes. It s a funny thing about making change. You lose a customer if you shortchange him, and if you short change yourself, he won’t come back eithe’-—for fear he’ll be recognized. Don’t talk as much as you listen. If you gotta have noise, turn on the radio. Better do a cash business. Most of the folks who come in busted got that way from trusting some other strangers. People are nice if you’ll give ’em a chance to be. And you have to have a sourpuss come in occasional ly to remind you how nice most peo ple really are. A ''. Not only are sanitation and other health conditions the best in the industry, but Ford also leads in safety devices for the protection of employes. Proof of this is found in the following com- j F O R D M O T O parison of compensation insurance costs: The national average rate in automotive manufacturing plants as computed by the National Association of Underwriters is in excess of $1.50 premium on each $100 payroll. The Ford cost of workmen’s compensation is less than 50c. This indicates that the chance of injury in a Ford plant is much less than in the average automobile plant. The Ford Motor Company has no age limit for labor, and in fact deliberately attempts to keep older workers working. The average age of Ford workers at the Rouge and nearby plants is 38.7. A recent check-up shows that nearly one- half the workers at these Ford plants were 40 or over, falling into these age groups: 25,819 14,731 3,377 417 12 between between between between between 40 50 60 70 80 and 50 and 60 and 70 and 80 and 90 In addition to the so-called regular em ployes, the Ford Motor Company has hired, and now has on the payroll, at the same regular hourly wage, thousands of workers who are blind, crippled or other wise incapacitated for normal productive work. They are not selected for their ability to build cars or to maintain the plant. They are on the payroll because of Henry Ford’s belief that the responsibility of a large company to labor goes be yond the point at which the unfortunate worker can no longer produce profitably. The above are facts. They are open to anyone who really wants to deal in facts. Anyone who wants to get a job . . . buy a car . . . or place a national defense con tract on the basis of fair labor treat ment must place Ford at the top of his eligible list. CO M P AW ¥ j ! | Icing on Planes Airplanes passing through clouds frequently gather coats of ice, some times to the extent of half a ton. Among protective devices to prevent icing of airships, the most success ful are rubber bags that extend along the leading edges of wings and steering fins; alternately blown up and collapsed by a pump, they break the sheets of ice that form on these edges. The propellers are kept ice- free by anti-freeze solution aliiag from their axle. Rohrman Motor Co. Authorized D e a le r Hermiston, Oregon
