PAGE TEST HONOR MRS. FISKE, Ulnnl. Maddern Flske puxd away two months ego after a life devoted equally to the stage and the hu mane field. Thle week her prle wilt be sting over the radio. In the theatre, the preaa and wherever or ganized gathering! are held. April 18 was Minnie Madder Flake Day and April 17 to 23 1 be kind to ani mals anniversary. During that period in the same of every humane society In the United states and In the name of Minnie Maddern Flske, pleas will be Issued for a more kindly considera tion of all animals for the ensuing year. 6o outstanding were her efforts to alleviate suffering among dumb animals that she waa mode director of the American Humane assocla tlon. with which the Jackson County Humane association Is affiliated. Her first notable campaign was In behalf of the cattle of the west ern ranges. In her travels from ooaat to coast she saw the range horror at Its worst the carcasses of cattla, sheep and horses mangled beside the railroad tracks or bloated from starvation. She Instituted re forms that were effective. The outcast dog and cat on the street were her concern, Bhe turned them over to local humane societies or found homes for them. Bull fighting was an obsession with her. The mention of a suggested bull fight brought her hurried protest to newspapers, senators and con gressmen. For many years In her later life, Mrs. Flske was an indefatlguable crusader against the use of the steel-Jawed trap in the taking of furs. She worked Incessantly to abol ish the cruelties In trapping wild life. So sincere wss she in her be lief that unnecessary cruelty was Inflicted In the trapping of furs, he wore only Imitations when her stage roles called for fur wraps. s , IS REP . The Jackson County Humane soc iety realltes from the numerous In quiries made that the animal lovers of Jackson county are very Inter ested In the present condition of Rough, the IHtle terrier who was so eerlously burned by sulphuric acid a few days ago. Rough la stilt under the skillful care of Dr. Horr at the Humane soc iety shelter Just north of Medford. Dr. Horr reports that although there la still some doubt as to the little dog's recovery he la doing nicely. His wounds are slbwly healing and If his physical health can be maintained his complete recovery Is probable. However even the highest degree of medical skill cannot prevent the scars which Rough will alwaya carry on his little back aa a result of the burns. As this la "Be Kind to Animals" week It aeema appropriate to caution everyone .again to remember that If you or your neighbor has an animal which la an annoyance to you It la wiser to call and ask the Humane oclety to take care of- the animal end adjust the matter than to In flict a thoughtless punishment which Is unnecessarily cruel.

Salem, Marsh field. LaQrande and The Dalles come next In order, and then comes Port land, which In most llnea of retail business leads the state lrj per capita Eastern Oregon's rural population buys mora through retail furniture stores than does the rural popula tion of western Oregon. In propor tion to numbers. Willamette valley fa -mers are the most backward In the state In purchasing new fur nishings for their homes. In most of the cities where a large retail furniture business Is done, ft Is due to the enterprts of Individual dealers. Some dealers have succeed ed in making a community fashion out of having fine furniture, Rapid growth of a community also Is a factor. The degree tu which com munities buy furniture by mall or from department stores has a pro found effect on the volume of the retail furniture dealers. This habit Is highly developed In Portland and probably la a major reason why the retail furniture business In the me tropolis is relatively low despite the considerable volume of purchasing In Portland furniture stores by people living outside of Portland. Figures as to oluma of business, from which we r.ade foregoing de ductions, are In preliminary estimates by the U. S. eensue of distribution. Oregon Voter. CLASS PLAY CENTERS AS (Ry Chas. P. ChampUn.
