CLEVELAND. (UP) Baby chick
rasing, no more a sideline of the
farmer's wife, was a 565,000,000 busi
ness In the United States last year,
J. A. Hannah, president of the Inter
national Baby Chick association, said
at the group'a 17th annual conven
tion held here.
And that sum, Hannah aald, does
not count the thouaanda of dollars
exchanging hands from Incubator
manufacturers and other Industrial,
lots dealing In hatching and brood'
lng equipment.
The NRA code haa curtailed pro
duction by 100.000.000 thla year, but
even so, 750.000,000 have been pro
duced," Hannah pointed out. Ohio,
he said, leads the nation in chick
hatching. There are 858 hatcheries
operating under the code with a ca
pacity of 65,000.000 a season.

THE hour la noon. The day Is
Wednesday, August IS. The place
la the banquet room of a prominent
Southern Oregon hotel.
The occasion la the campaign Tie It
of Oeneral Charles H. Martin, Demo
cratic candidate for governor, to the
Southern Oregon country.
GENERAL MARTIN, ruddy-faced,
white-haired, with clipped white
mustache, sits at the head table,
flanked by campaign assistants, local
Democratic leaders and prominent cit
izens. Mrs. Martin sits beside him, smil
ing, attractive and perfectly at ease
looking, the ladles in the audience
agree, quite as a governor's wife
should look.
THE large room la filled almost to
capacity, with the tables set
closely, In order to make as much
room as possible.
It Is a well-dressed, comfortable,
well-to-do audience aa well-being
goes In these fag end of the depres
sion days. The men, undoubtedly,
are carrying a heavy burden of re
sponslblllty, and their business wor
ries are numerous aid acute. The
women know what curtailment of
household expenses means.
But no one In the audience 1 wor
ried about where his next meal Is
to come from, and no one misses so
small a sum as the fifty cent the
luncheon cost.
HHHE meal Is served, deftly and effl-
1 clently no clattering of dishes
and no confusion. There Is pleasant
chat, but no loud talking. Glances
of curiosity are cast, naturally
enough, at General and Mrs. Martin,
who are distinguished guests, but
they are well-bred glances there Is
no curious staring.
It Is a wholly pleasant affair.
B,
O. Lipscombe. of Portland,
member of the campaign party,
speaks briefly but glowingly of the
reception accorded the general
the present tour.
The chairman of the Democratic
county central committee Introduces
General Martin as "the next governor
of Oregon.
The audience, rising spontaneously
In a cordial gesture of greeting, ap
plauds enthusiastically.
THE applause Is genuine. There
can be no doubting that. If the
election were to be decided exclu
sively by people such as the pleas
ant, well-bred people In attendance,
Oeneral Martin would be the next
governor of Oregon.
THE general rises, smiles, speaks
briefly briefly because his time
on this tour Is limited and he la al
ready behind his schedule.
He praises the Roosevelt adminis
tration, and points out that under
this administration Oregon has re
ceived more from the national gov
ernment, probably, than In all the
previous yeara lines rt became a
state.
The new deal, he says, Is bringing
back prosperity, In spite of all Its
crtlcs may say, and In spite of se
vere handicaps such aa drought and
strikes.
E SQUARES hla shoulders and
says;
"In thla campaign, I'm my own
man, I'm taking nobody's orders.
I'm making no promises. If I'm
elected governor, I'll be governor of
Oregon In my own right.
He means It. The audience rec
ognizes his sincerity, and applauds
again. Its Impression of the speaker
Is favorable.
THE luncheon begins a few mln
Utea after 13. and bv 1 It ! over
a brief, businesslike affair for busy
people.
General Martin takes his place by
the door, and as the audience files
out he shakes each person by the
hand and extends a pleasant word of
greeting. There are little Informal
gatherings In the lobby for com
ment and appraisal, and the party
breaks up.

Our newlywed friends are happy;

there always. Two pay-cuts have been
annoying, but the only thing he

comforts, "I can always go back to

Every week they wrestle with that

"I'd been driving my car for nearly four years and
I had put more than 75,000 miles on it. Then things
got a little better with me and I figured I could afford
a new car. 'Let's look over the Ford V-8,' I said to
my wife.
"So we took it out on the road and gave it a good,
stiff work-out. Tried it in traffic, on hills, and the
roughest roads we could find. Put it to every test I
knew. Even went so far as to drain the tank and see
how many miles it would go on a gallon of gasoline.
"I want to tell you I had the biggest surprise of
my life. I knew the Ford V-8 was better than my
former car, but I hadn't any idea it was so much
better.
"The Ford name Is on It and it has the same reli
ability and economy that you always expect in a
Ford. But what a difference that V- 8 engine makes!
'. It's so smooth and powerful that you just glide
along. After you drive a V-8 you just can't be satis
fied with anything leas.
"My wife was In the back seat and she said It
was the quietest, most restful ride she'd ever had.
And was she delighted with the finish of the carl
Before we got home she'd decided, on that green
body with cream wheels and mohair upholstery.
And then could hardly wait until she could show it
off to her friends.
"I'll tell you frankly we've had more real fun
driving this Ford V-8 than any other car we've ever
owned and we've had a good many makes in the
last fifteen years.
"As for economy I'm finding that this Ford V-8
costs less to run than a four-cylinder car. No guess
ing about that, either, because I'm one of those
bookkeeping fellows who keeps a careful record.
Henry Ford was right when he said the V-8 is the
most economical Ford car ever built."
