JfEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOKD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1935 PAGE TWO NEW POTATO LAW CALLS FOR TAX ON Retailers May Split Con tainers And Sell In Any Quantity After First Tax Paid Is New Regulation. WASHINGTON, Dec. 18. (AP) The AAA reported today that the work of setting up' machinery to administer the new potato control law la pro ceeding rapidly. Some time ago a national tax ex empt allotment of 326.600.000 bush els waa announced. Potatoes sold in excess of the allotment will be taxed of a cent a pound. The work of breaking this allot ment down Into quotas for Individual growers was started first In early producing states, auch as Florida, Texas and California. Already some potatoes bearing tax exemption sumps have been sold In Texas. Answering queries, officials said the law applies to all potatoes, whether sold In Interstate of Intra state commerce. The law says that potatoes must bear either a tax ex emptlon Btamp or a tax-paid stamp at the "first sale" and that the stamps must be placed on closed con tainers. Under AAA regulations, however, moat retailers can sell potatoes In bulk In large or small quantities and will not have to sell them In con tainers. The AAA says almost all commercial potatoes are sold by farm ers to wholesalers, and that the tax and container requirements apply only to this "first sole." Thus the retailer can split a con tainer of potatoes up Into email lots and sell them as usual. The ordi nary consumer, It was said, will not be aware of the mechanics of the control law. However, at public markets, to which farmers go to sell direct to consumers. It Is expected that pota toes will have to be sold In contain ers. The law provides fines up to ' 11.000 for violations. No set specifications have been Is sued for the containers, and It was Indicated that the usual sacks, crates or barrels would do. The stamps are Issued In many denomi nations, to cover sales from a few cents upward. SALEM, Dec. 18 (p) The much discussed question as to whether Sa lem, shall operate under a city man agership plan of government will be definitely decided at the January 31 special election. The city council voted 9 to 4 to submit the plan to the voters. New Clock Styles Ease Gift Selection Problem (By Janet Wrey Smith) How many of you have finished (or even started) your Christmas shop ping? To those of you, both men and women, who are still In quan dary, we would like to give a few more gift suggestions. We don't know whether you have noticed or not, but the prosaic clock has blossomed out In a number of new designs this year that are both decorative and unusual. You'll find all shapes, colors and sizes, many truly beautiful, and all a definite addition to rooms, whether boudlolr or kitchen. Newest of silver Is the Kensington ware, non-tarnlshable, non-corrosive and resistant - to fingerprints, which may be had in complete services or special pieces, very graceful In de sign, - We like the evening galoshes trim med In fur, which come under the head of an extravagance many women would not Indulge In for themselves, but would be delighted to have. It's It's always a good idea to buy for your friends what they wouldn't buy for themselves. If you give practical glfes, try to Include some small friv olity. Metal scarfs, collars and belts arfe being much used this year, and make a gift that Is both practical and festive. v An ageless gift are chromium coffee sets constructed particularly for breakfast In bed, In three sections that fit into each other to make one convenient place. Hanginj Ivy bowls make nice gifts, as do also lamps, of which you'll find a large variety white being the newest color. A very dainty gift la the large sachet ball we saw, made of silk yarn and fin ished with a long tassel, which may be hung In a closet or laid In draw ers. Also new are the desk or table sets, some of which contain compartments for powder puff and cigarettes, and others just for cigarettes and ash trays. These are made In combina tion of chromium and colored bake llte, with roll-top lids. A special compact we saw contain ed not only rouge, powder and lip stick, but complete eye makeup ma terials, all combined to make a com pact not larger than ordinary and of convenient shape. A ladies' traveling kit we saw In leather displayed a tooth brush, nail brush, complexion brush and comb all In matching composition finish In bright colors. Among lovely table decorations are mirrors and sliver ships or pea cocks, snd also crystal cigarette hold ers and ash trays for individual places. Speaking of tables, most pop ular In the line of crockery at the present time Is the vivid pottery ware, liked by almost everyone. Flower pot holders are becoming very popular with housewives, and may be found In groups of two or three, or even more, some to hang on the wall and others In bright enamel metal for table or window.

(P) Death In automobile accidents la the Christmas present In store fcr about 120 persons In the United States. R. L. Forney, statistician of the national safety council, said today hla figures showed that many would die on the year's happiest day. About 00' of the doomed have one chance to escape, Forney said as he scanned the national auto mobile death records. They may be spared by the weather. Abnormal cold, with Ice or snow drifts on the pavements, would save that many," the statistician said- When the roads are dangerous, the decrease In travel and the In crease In care cuts down the toil." Forney's grisly prediction was bas-, ed on the year's trend and the toll I of past Christmas day. The same cold, relentless figures show, Forney said, that auto acci dents will kill 850 In the seven shopping days before Christmas. This would bring the year's casualty total to roughly 36.000, equaling the 1934 toll. WILLIAMS CREEK LAD TRUDGES SEVEN MILE P WILLIAMS CREEK, Dec. 18-(Spl.)
