Closing Urns for Too Lat to Clas sify Ada Is 1:30 p. m- t pi eraits am AT OUR STORE WEDNESDAY JANUARY 3RD FREE LUNCH At noon, aerved by the FOUR H CLUB LEADERS' ASSOCIATION credited and an effort made to repeal them unless some house cleaning is conducted and the administrators replaced. C hief enemies of the laws are the ad ministrators. . TPO date wage-hour adminis- tration has been conducting its operations by rules and regulations, few of which have been tested in the courts. The wage-hour officials arc attempt ing to undertake what the NIRA (blue eagle) failed to do. Blue eagle , codes endeavored to tell every employer what he could do, but each code was admlnis tered by men covered by the code, such as lumbermen ad ministering the lumber code; furniture manufacturers polic ing their code. These code ad ministrators were familiar with their particular industry. Now contrast the code admin istrators who understood one business thoroughly with the wage-hour administration which does not know any one of the hundreds of industries, yet wage-hour officers are applying regulations regardless. If the codes had their troubles (and they did), imagine the mess when a central federal agency in the national capital is trying to run every business. LOOOERS In the woods of the Pacific northwest find they are malting less Income under the wage hour act than before this statute became law. In the Ponderosa pine belt, where snow, mud and bad roads prevent all-year operation, wage-hour officers have refused to recognize seasonal exemption as provided by law. There Is no fruit or vegetable cannery In Oregon or Washington that has not been affected by arbi trary regulations. Boiling up In the house of repre sentatives is a atorm of wrath which will one day break over the wage hour act and its administration Original objective of wage-hour ad vocates was to assist sweatshop work- en In the east; not Interfere where workers and boss are satisfied with houra. pay and conditions and not Interfere wltb farmers marketing their perishable crops. Admlntatra tors of wage-hour law recognize no Buch Inhibitions. ... BASED on national average, cash Income per farm In Washing ton and Oregon In 1839, was 1102. or 1238 per capita, but with govern ment payments added, the per capita is estimated at (259. of the 33.000. 000 people on the farms of the United States, the number who pay tncome tax la almost microscopic. Cash In come does not Include the domestic requirements raised on a farm which city dwellers must buy. HERE ta something some Repub lican may turn to campaign account: At bla formal, official re ception to the diplomatic corps last week, President Roosevelt, like the Mikado, King George, et al.t sat upon a throne and before him made obesl ance the foreign representatives In their brilliant uniforms. That was something new In the White House (President Tyler's young wife aat on a dais, causing gossip), for the presi dent always stands and shakes hands. It is a physical strain for Mr. Roose velt to stand for two hours, leaning upon a cane and giving handshakes, so he had a comfortable, high-back chair placed for him. Mrs. Roosevelt, however, stood. Life's darkest moment: One of the ambassadors was bending low when a seam In his trousers ripped.

SUGGESTION NO. 1 HOW TO RAISE CASH I - vk i i.tw. a taJfiT SELL THINGS YOU DON'T NEED FOR CASH Start looking through the Classified Ads today, for messages from folks who have what you want to telll It's the quickest way to raif cash without any obligation! Use the CLASSIFIED ADS This Is How We Financed Our Christmas Shopping... Less than a week ago Bob and I were having a sad case of doldrums! Reason? No ready cash with which to buy Christmas gifts, and we just couldn't let our selves get in debt. Then Bob thought of the Classified Ads and without telling me, he placed an ad mention ing the things like Mary's baby carriage and Brother's three wheel bicycle, our old gas heater and Bob's old golf clubs which we had no more use for. Sure enough, Bob sold everything and handed me the cash with which to Christmas-shop for the family. We're happy. And the folks who bought those former posses sions of ours at low cost will have a merrier Christmas too. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE iseWll 7
