Fortune Missed Peddling Van AMSTERDAM (UP) A rag-and-bone-man named Couvreur from the town of Breda In southern Holland has revealed why so few canvasses of Vincent van Gogh have been found. This Dutch painter, who ended his tra'c life a lunatic, was a prolific producer during his younger years, although his fame Is based on the genius he showed during the latter years of his short life. Thirty-five years ago, Couvreur re lates, on a cobble-stoned, street of Breda, he was loading his handcart with odds and ends he had bought from a carpenter who asked him as a favor to take away some rubbish. He explained It was cluttering up his loft where he had stored It after it had been left behind by a painter who had lived there for some time. Couvreur obliged the carpenter and took away two cartloads of the "rub bish," chiefly paintings and drawings aU signed "Van Gogh" or "V.a." or sometimes only with a "V" or a "G." "I used to have a stand,' Couvreur told newspapermen, "a couple of days each week in the local market. I tried to sell the paintings. Nobody wanted them, although I offered ' them as cheaply as 10 Dutch cents apiece (about .05). I sometimes gave A miss is as good as a million miles WE'RE on out way back into Alaska jointly with two other California companies because the oil industry is not to be bluffed by experience. Experience says that Alaska may turn up gold for the sour dough but it's a land of dry holes to the oil prospector. We're headed for a spot not twenty miles from a place where this Company spent imposing money only a little over a dec ade ago without getting a smell of oil. Furthermore, we're going to a remote country, where even the native Kodiak bear develops such a cross-grained disposition he is no good to himself or any body else until made into a rug. Again men will face hardships, more money will be spent because the oil industry has learned never to give up. A joint geological expedi tion using knowledge, instru ments, methods unknown ten or fifteen years ago found good prospects a day's hike from the old failure. In the search for oil the dis tance between failure and suc cess need not be measured in anything so spectacular as miles. Twenty yards might make all the difference in the world even twenty feet. Besides, the oil industry was never one to hesitate at the jurnping-off place if the geologists said chances were good on the other side. Standard Oil Company of California PERSONAL Mrs. Smith Here Mrs. Sherman Smith of Grants Pass was a Medford visitor Saturday. She Is a sister tf Mrs. A. J. Hemstreet of this city. Fifth Sunday MaJ. and Mrs. George h. Owens and Capt. and Mrs. T. J. Melring fished on Big Butte creek above Trail yesterday with fair results. Leaves For Fresno Bernard Nel son, employe of the CCC district ex change at the fairgrounds, left yes terday for a week's vacation in Fres no, Calif. ' Holiday at Lake Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Crosby and Mr and Mrs. Hubert De Haas went to Fish lake Saturday for the Memorial Day week-end and will return to their homes here to night. Dr. Flndley Here Dr. M. O. Find ley of Salem arrived In the city this morning and will be the guest of his son and daughter-tn-law. Dr. and Mrs. Dwlght H. Flndley. He was ac companied by his grandson Linn Lochenour. Remodel at Fairgrounds The CCC district exchange building, formerly the women's building at the county fairgrounds, Is being remodelled to provide additional space for a subsis tence storehouse for the summer. In anticipation of the fire season, a large stock of food supplies Is being stored for emergency calls by the district quartermaster and larger storage space Is necessary. Since most of the head quarters Jobs are now held by civil ian employes, the enrolles'. barrack has been reduced. by Rag Picker Goghs for Nickel them to children to play with. It took me 30 years to get rid ol the stuff. Sometimes I traded them at local pubs for a glass of beer, altho the Innkeepers were not all keen about them. "A couple of years ago somebody must have heard about my paintings, because a local art dealer sent around a man to buy all I had left at 10 Dutch cents apiece. I had only six left. Somehow I sensed there was a demand for them and refused to sell them so cheaply, in the end I got 35 cents for each painting. "Now I realize I could have become a rich man had I known the meaning of the name Van Gogh. My son, however, has kept two of the print ings and probably he can make a little money out of them." Legionnaire Film On Rialto Program The army, navy and marines land ed last night and left the audience at the Rialto theatre completely out of hand. The merry military onslaught by all branches of the service, of course, was the robust and riotous "Battle of Broadway," which is based on the American Legion's "unconventional convention" in New York. Victor (Sez you) McLaglen and Brian (One punch) Denlevy arrive on the gay White Way In the Legion vanguard to see what makes the cosy little village on the Hudson river so pop ular. These bottle-scarred veterans know all the maneuvers . . . and when they lay siege to beautiful Louise Hovlck. "Battle of Broadway,'' like the Bat tle of the Marne, becomes nothing more than a whole collection of fights conveniently filed under one heading. "Arson Racket Squad" plays as the added feature with "Battle of Broad way," at the Rialto through Tues day. Strawberries Sold WOODBURN. May 30.

On the sides of tho commons were a home, a school, a church and a town assembly, each of which was distinguished by freedom, the speaker said.
