PORTLAND FOLK SAVINGS CHOKE! PREJUDICED BYjOREGON BANKS1 BOWLES' YARNS REPORT SHOWS1 i Motion for Change in Venue Cites Columns Devoted to Case in Newspapers Many Sign Plea. PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 30. (P) Supported by uffliluvits sinned by J 61100 persons 'Including banker, attorneys, .doctors, housew Ives, wnitresHes and teachers, a motion unking a change o( venuo In the murder case against Nelson C Howies, millionaire, and Irma ourks, his former secretary, was filed in circuit court tudiiy. Howies and .Miss Luucks are charged with murdering Mrs. Leone Bowles. The motion, filed by John Col lier of the defense, was based on the contention public sentiment Is such that the two could not be given a fair and Impartial trial in Multnomah county. Although no date was set tho motion is expected to be argued early next week. Lotus L. Langley, district attorney, said ho has made 1 no decision as to how ho will op pose tho change. Accompanying the document Is a complete filo of all l'ortlund newspapers issued between No. K when Mrs. Howies was stabbed to death, and Dec. 31, when tho first degree murder indictment was re turned by tho grand Jury. The file is said to contain 5000 column inches devoted to the case. Nevada beef owned by l-II Club boys brought from 2"i to 40 cents a pound at the junior livestock baby beef show in Snn Francisco. DOUGHNUTS ARE BETTER IF COOKED A FEW AT A TIME Likewise Coffee Has More Delicious FLavor When Roasted in Small Lots Experience, shows that if loo I many doughnuts arc put into the hot fat at once, the cooking process is. hindered. The temperature of the fat is reduced and the dough nuts become greasy. A similar situation occurs when coffee is roasted in bulk. It is diffi cult to apply tho heat evenly, and as a result some of tho coffee berries may be overdone and some underdone. Such variation in tho roast causes disappointing varia tion in flavor. Hills Bros, overcame this by in venting: and patenting a process controlled Koanting that roasts every coffee berry evenly. With ! automatic control of heat and speed of operation, a few pounds at a time pass through the roasters. Uniformity of roast and unequalcd flavor is the result. Hills Bros. Coffee is always fresh when you buy it because it is packed in vacuum. This process takes air, which destroys the flavor of cofTee, from the can and keeps it out. Coffco will not stay fresh in or dinary cans, even if nir-tiprht. Gro cers everywhere sell Hills Uros. p.ff.. a'. :i y,.. .,,., ,,,,,1 ,,if ' for the Arab on the can. j .....
