BRIDGE 'HORSEMEN ON TOUR fkfi ?M A'i nil I E PAY FULL ROAD TAX, CLAIM At the meeting of truck operators held in the Armory Wednesday night Mr. Richards, representative of the Farm Rate council, brought out facts on truck operations which he quoted as materially affecting the Interests of Rogue River valley. According to Mr. Richards, thor ough Investigation of the state rec ords at Salem shows that the trucks of Oregon are paying their full share of taxes for the maintenance of state highways. "It ii now a matter of record," he said, "that a law similar to the Freight Truck and Bus Bill, sponsor ed by ex-gcvernor Oswald West, was recently passed In Texas and soon after the passage of this new law the Texas railroad commission gave the Texas railroads permission to raise their rats to the level which they were before motor truck competition brought them down." Mr. Richards stated that If the Freight Truck and Bus Bill is passed In Oregon the private car owner s license will have to be Increased in order to raise enough money for the maintenance of ovir highway system, due to the "drastic reductions which will prohibit the trucks operating and helping to pay this cost of our high ways." It waa also announced that be ginning June 23 there will begin a series of radio talks over KXL at 8:15 p. m. bringing out other facts concerning truck operations which will be of Interest to the people of the valley.

Hal Sims, Howard Schenken and David Burnstlna Dry Leader Undecided On Support of Hoover PORTLAND, Ore.. June 24. (AP) Approval of the resubmission of the prohibition question In a "constitu tional way" but doubt concerning his support of Herbert Hoover for presi dent In the Impending campaign was expressed In an Interview here last night by Dr. Clarence True Wilson, head of the Methodist board of tem perance, prohibition and public morals. While Dr. Wilson was discussing national matters, the city attorney's office was preparing to try him next week on a charge of reckless driving, resulting from an accident here last February. The dry leader had noth ing to say concerning the trial, al though his Portland attorney. Bert E. Haney, had agreed earlier in the day to set the date for next Tuesday or Wednesday. "I do not know whether I will sup port Hoover this year." Dr. Wilson said. "During the campaign four years ago I have 06 addresses In his interests. this year I may be forced to speak again for Hoover If the democrats adopt a wet platform. He added that he expects the demo crats to do so. - Dr. Wilson expressed belief that Senator Borah of Idaho could "cut quite a figure" if he would head i third party movement on a dry plat form. He added however, that he does not advocate a third party. A warrant for the doctor's arrest has been on file here since February 23, two days after bis car collided with one driven by L. F.

It's so costly. And so terribly tedious! "I make all my prize-winning jellies and jams with Certo. And I would never think of doing it any other way. "In the first place, Certo reduces boiling time for crushed strawberry jam, for instance, to one minute. And, of course, that is how it saves me so much money. For, with so little boiling needed, not one bit of the fruit juice has time to boil away. And as a result I usually get fully S more glasses from the same amount of fruit ... and save as much as VA1 on every glass. "Of course, this 1 minute of hard boil ing also saves me lots of time, too. I n deed it takes me only 11 or 12 minutes from the time I put my fruit and sugar mixture on until the time my finished jam is cooling in the glasses. "And with Certo you get much better tasting jam or jelly, too.
