ELSIE LETMING, Ralph Hill's teacher In hl senior year at the Henley high school, said jester day to this writer: "I'm as proud as anyone could be of the lame Ralph has won. But I do hope he will look for his future to his head, rather, than to his legs." HERE'S a lotofeound philosophy In that remark, ny a famous young athlete h ;otten that It Is what head that he for his achieve- long years after his have begun to go back on hen that happens, It Is a pity. 4 npHIS writer, however, has nigh hopes for Ralph Hill. A fine sense of sportsmanship us ually Indicates a good, clear-thlnklng brain a brain capable of separating the important from the unimportant and getting down to essentials. ' The very fine sportsmanship which Ralph Hill displayed In that trying moment when It seemed that one of the world's greatest athletic honors had been snatched from his grasp, perhaps unfa-rly, la pretty fair proof that he has that kind of brain. BPHE lumber Industry Is admltted- ly In bad shape. But this writer, who Is NOT an old timer In Oregon, has seen the lumber Industry In bad shape before. And every time It has been In bad shape It haa RECOVERED. It will recover again. The big days of the lumber Indus try are NOT over. FOR the past month, a large motor dealer has carried In one of Southern Oregon'a leading newspa pers EVERY DAT an advertisement offering a used car at a special and attractive price. As to the results of this campaign, he says: We have sold more than half of a a all the cars advertised, soma of them within an hour or so after opening up In Uie. morning, and In addition we've had hundreds of live inquiries ."om which we've sold many care not advertised. "There isn't any doubt that people read advertising and ACT on It." TJEOPLH have read this advertising for two reasons. 1. Because it haa contained newa of Interest to the general public. 3. Because it haa appeared every day, thua causing people to look foi It regularly. G V GOOD advertisements always con tain nircji. And don't forget this: News isn't luslvely concerned with murders sudden death and scandal. In- rrriatlon as to things that you want 'that that are for aale and the prices at which these things may be had is ALSO news. IP you wsnt to get results from your sdvertlslng, put NEWS Into your advertisements, advertise as often as you can afford, and carry your ad vertisements at regular Intervals, so that people will form the habit of looking for the news contained In them. 1JEPEATED aurveya prove that the comic strips are read more wide ly' than anything else that appear In the newspaper. This writer will risk & small bet that you look often er at the comic than at anything else appearing In this newspaper. And the comic strips, you will note, .appear EVERY DAT. Because they ap- kar every day, you get Into the habit looking for them. You know they 'ill be there. Th same principle holds good as to adrertlslng. T may interest you to know that next after the comic strips, In wspapers the size of this, comes the all, news ot the doings of local people, which In this newspaper Is eaded: "Local and Personal." That Is to say, people are more ln rested In PEOPLE than In anything .. and they are more Interested in eople they know than In people ney don't know. And It may surprise you to know -.at next after the comics, the local ews and the editorials, people read dvertlsements that appear EVERY and contain news ot Interest to people.

A few carload shipments of Bart letts made east the past week will be in cold' storage there until mark et conditions Justify v their offering. Three cars of Bartletts have been shipped this week to Portland for export shipment. The Bartlett picking and packing season will get under full swing this week in all orchards and plants of the valley. Packing plants will start at full capacity Monday with one or two getting undeway Tuesday. The Bartlett season is expected to last a couple of weeks. Local yard switch ing service has been Inaugurated by the Southern Pacific. Harry Moore, manager of the un employment bureau, said there will be further check of th packing plants for a census of California workers. Local state police heads had no comment to make on the tirade against the state department hurled Saturday. Captain Lee M. Bown left for the north Saturday on official business. Drivers of California li censed cars, engaged In gainful oc cupations were advised, as usual, to procure Oregon licenses or be sub ject to Oregon traffic regulations. Herbert Martin, 29, of Ruch, was arrested Saturday and charged with operating an auto without proper Ucens plates and with selling fish without a license. State police who made the arrest allege Martin was driving a car with California license- plates and making a house to house canvas. Local Workers Favored. In practically all of the packing houses of the city and valley, with one and possibly two exceptions, lo- cal labor predominated, with . fewer ! California workers than In several years. Signs have been posted In many of the plants serving notice that all applicants must show county work cards. Many of these cards are being checked to see that no deceit was practised in the procuring of the cards, or In the obtaining of the sig natures of two taxpayers, as re quired. Packers said Saturday that the labor supply exceeded the demand and that several of the plants were operating "100 per cent local labor." Yamhill Assessor Association Head COQIULLE. Ore., Aug. 13.

" "One is for modification; the other Is for repeal," he continued. "We favor neither." "Our major task as to the coming campaign," he said, "la clearly pre sented In the election of congress men, who In the last analysis have sole responsibility for amending the constitution. "We will support those candidates who stand definitely 'Committed' to opposition to either repeal or modi ftcatlon. "We will fight both repeal and modification In the next congress, and if by any chance the drys are de feated In congress, which Is the first line ot maintenance, we will fight on in the states and In congress at every turn of the way until the lin gering, lawless liquor traffic sur renders to the law and constitution."

The figures, giving totals by the year from 1910 to 1930, and reduced to a rate per population, were based upon reports from B5 cities of more than 2500 population In 1910, the number of municipalities reporting upward to 177 In 1929 and 170 in 1930. The statistics cited an Increase In the number of arrests per 10,000 of population from 173 In. 1910 to 190 in 1917. In 1818, 1920 and 1921 there were declines to 142, 101, 72 and 92 respectively. recall of our present circuit Judge, and under and by virtue of which comment and Interpretation you have so distorted the facts and circum stances ot the adop'ton of said reso lution, and so berated and endeav ored to discredit the legal profession and courts In general, that I feel disposed to accept your kind (?)

(AP) The mayor of New York will return Mon day to the "hall of governors" in Al bany, there to enter on the final phase of his vigorous fight for what he haa termed his "past, present and future." A day and a half Mayor Walker has spent so far answering the persistent, courteously put, questions of Gover nor Franklin D. Roosevelt, once his associate In the legislature. The mayor has still to explain to Governor Roosevelt what were his business relations with the missing Russell T. Sherwood, accountant of the law firm with which he was as sociated before he became mayor. Held Fiscal Agent Samuel Seabury, counsel to the Hofstadter legislature committee, has charged that Sherwood was the may or's fiscal agent. Included In the many volumes of Hofstadter committee records, which the governor has admitted as evl dence In the hearing. Is testimony indicating that in five ad one half years, ending with Sherwood's disap pearance a year ago, the obscure, 35- a-week bookkeeper handled stock transactions Involving nearly a million dollars. So far the governor has covered four main points of the "conclus ions," which Seabury offered with the record of the committee hearings, Bond Ownership t'nknown He asked the mayor about the $1,000 worth of Reliance Bronze and Steel bonds and If he knew he owned them when the company was award ed a $43,000 contract for traffic light standards on Fifth avenue. The may or replied he did not. He asked him how $26,000 worth of bonds, Including those of the Re liance company, came Into his pos session. The mayor replied the bonds rep-. resented his profit from a pool, of the character and Information of which he knew practically nothing. Asked About Bus Line Governor Roosevelt asked the may or about the Equitable bus franchise, what interest his friend, Senator John A. Hastings, had In It, and how it came about that J. Allan Smith. New York representative of the com pany, paid tor a $10,000 letter of credit and a $3,000 over-draft used by the mayor and his party on a European trip In 1927. Walker replied that, 'while he knew that Hastings was Interested In bus transportation, he did not know he shared an office with Smith, and that the letter of credit represented a pool turned over to the late Senator Ber nard Downing, who In turn had ask ed Hastings to handle It for him. Check of the suburban and rural points where petitions seeking the recall of Circuit Judge H. D. Norton had been left, showed the documents still sparsely signed Saturday or with no algnatures at all appended, appar ently Indicating that the scheme has collapsed of its own weight after meeting with disfavor among all class es of people In Jackson and Josephine counties. General condemnation of the abortive attempt was voiced wher ever opinion was sounded In the sur vey. As near as could be learned, the circulation of the petitions ceased as soon as publicity was given them. None of the petitions made their ap pearance in OranU Pass, or other Jo sephine county towns, It Is reported. The parentage of the petitions con tlnues a "mystery", and to date no one has come out flat rooted as sponsor of the recall, though favorable hints in Its behalf have been uttered E. E. Kelly of the Bar association at tributed It to "disgruntled litigants." Leading member? of the State bar, have written letter the past week expressing "smarement at the pro cedure," and "high confidence In the learning and Integrity of Judge Nor ton."
