"YOU can't boat the Mercury," says
this pretty miss, and engineer R. L.
Lorr agrees. Loir has Just com
pleted a test run with the now
ctroamllned "Mercury" train recent
ly placed In service by the New York
Contra! System between Detroit and
Chicago. The "Mercury" will make
the run In four hours, forty-five min
utes, or at an average speed of more
than a mile a minute. Including live
stops. Lorr's "Mercury" takes .con
siderably more muscle and skill to
handle, the young lady admits, than
her new Mercury fc with flngor-tlp
gearshift on steering column and
improved hydraulic brakes. But thirty-five
years In the cab have given
the veteran engineer a master touch
on throttle and air, enabling him to
draw that smooth and flashing per
formance from his train which make
the Mercury streamliner and the
Mercury car akin in brilliant action.

Condon, Ore., Dec. 9. (Pi
A.A.A. Administrator R. M.
Evans told the Eastern Oregon
Wheat league today he favored
restoration of a self-financing
plan to provide parity wheat
payments under the present
federal farm act.
He declared that whether the
certificate type of plan or some
other was finally worked out
"the ' farmers of the United
States are determined to hold
gains made after more than 20
years of effort. To do that they
must insure a permanent fi
nancing plan as an essential
part of the program."
A continuing plan for parity
payments is a farmers' tariff,
he went on. Such a plan is not
contrary to the interests of the
consumer, he said, so long as
the market price, plus tax, does
not exceed parity.
Evans flew here from yes
terday's hearing of the appro
priation committee in Washing
ton, D. C. He declared the farm
act the best piece of agricul
tural legislation ever enacted in
any country. Detailed applica
tion is up to the farmers, he
went on.
The league had already urged
some certificate plan, endorsing
the present farm law in gen
eral a fundamentally sound.
Evans addressed representatives
of 13 wheat producing states.
C. K. Barker of Condon was
elected president of the league;
Sim Culley, Weston, vice-president;
C. W. Smith, Corvallis,
secretary - treasurer. Pendleton
was awarded the 1940 convention.
Eugene, Dec. 9. (P) Final
complete official returns ended
the current campaign of Lane
county Grangers to form a peo
ple's utility power district in
defeat but rumblings were
heard tonight that "the fight
has only begun."
Although Master Allen Wheel
er would not be quoted on fu
ture plans, prominent members
of the Pomona Grange made no
secret that the PUD issue would
be on the ballot again in Lane
county In 1940.
Final figures showing that
the measure had lost in the 42
rural precincts by only 236 votes
cheered backers of the power
plan although five municipali
ties spurned the bill three to
one. ' '
Total ballots cast gave 2.890
against the PUD and 1.901 for
it. In the rural precincts the
tally was 1,886. to 1.450. The
count in the cities rejected the
proposal 1,204 to 451.
Eighteen rural areas voted In
favor of the plan and two dis
tricts reported ties.
