How ever, there Is no argument over what nation will pay the hall rent and furnish the whiskey and grub, for a lengthy series of banquets. Spring Is still tardy here abouts, and there Is some con cern about its whereabouts, and official arrival, Spring will be activated here, when the mer cury suddenly Jumps to 78 and Juvenile autoists start speeding that fast. People can rest as sured Spring will eventually get here, if It takes all summer. ' ... A medical authority reports drinking causes enlargement of the Adam's apple of the fair sex.

Thursday, April 8. 1845 Letter From Washington Bt HARRIS ELLSWORTH Member ot Congress From Oregon HOUSE IN RECESS. April 10 will bring to an end the pres ent series of three-day recesses for the house, which began March 28. The house will then take up further appropriation measures reported from com mittee, extension of the Recipro cal Trades Agreement, renego tiation of contracts, the Bretton Woods Agreement, and federal aid to education legislation, which has been pending for sev eral months. Marines before house committees will be started or resumed on the above meas ures, beginning about April 11 and some of these bills will be gin to reach the House for de bate probably about the first Oi May. The Senate has continued Its regular sessions to bring Its calendar up to date and there ts some talk that the senate may recess during the San Francisco United Nations Conference. ... . FOOD INVESTIGATION. The newly authorized special food study committee of the house will be very active during the house recess. Hearings will be held In Washington and prob ably other cities where the food situation Is acute and the meat supoly particularly .hort. House and senate have already heard testimony from . packers con cerning their problems. With the 1043 meat supply consider ably lower than the per capita supply in 1044, special empha sis will be placed upon the mat News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington. April B The diplomatic news is warming up to the pitch of pressure politics petore me war. The British press started a few days back to taur mur that the B r 1 1 1 sh For eign 1 Minister Anthony Eden might not come to San Francisco eith er. At the same time the Rus Paul Mallnn sian dispatches told of the re ception given Mrs, Churchill in Moscow. Those two public events were read with more significance than the public may have at tached to them, by those who have heard Inside the senate for some weeks that the British were inclining more and more to the Russian viewpoint. ... yHE trip of Bernard Baruch to London, as a special pres idential emissary , on some 'un disclosed mission, . has inspired new talk that Mr. Roosevelt is trying to draw the British back into line. The plain fact behind the matter Is that the whole preten tious concept of our Idealism for postwar continues to break up, knick by knick, upon the rocks of solid earth. These recent in ternational developments are leading us Into the same old pressure game, and we look rather weak at It. Yet we thought we held the big chips food ind money. We financed the war and are practically proposing to finance the peace. Everyone should be coming to us, yet we do not seem to be getting our way In anything. We are holding a party at which the honor guests are sending regrets. ... WHAT Russia ts up to at any " time is always a censored guess. Complete bafflement Is an essential quality ot her di plomacy. But bchl.id her unco operative piny is the strength of her position. Possession Is nine tenths of any law any where and a glance at any war map shows the world what she has in Europe, Hers are blue chips. THE British ostensibly are In a weak pod'.Iun, but they are always winning from weak posi tions. They are accustomed from long experience to follow a balance of power policy, piny Ing one side against another and back again. What they both knew was that Mr. Roosevelt wanted a certain kind of world peace and they also knew they could mnk) Tired Kidneys .

At the present time, and over a period of months, there have been some areas of the country where the meat supply was abundant, while in other sections supplies were low. The committee will endeav or to find a remedy for this sit uation If it is at all possible. ... V-E DAY RUMORS. With the rapid advance of United Na tions armies in Europe, and the expectation of V-E Day at an early date, rumors are more and more frequent around Washing ton. Within the past ten days. no less than four such rumors were started to the effect that sneclal radio announcements would be made at a particular time, or that the president is preparing to make some import ant statement, or that cnurcnui is releasing some startling news of developments In Germany All of these originated from misinterpretations of statements, or misreading of teletype an nouncements, but are indicative of the temper and anticipation here. The more conservative ex perts on military affairs feel that, while there is a possibility of developments which would bring the war to a sudden close the probabilities are that it will be some weeks yet before the heavy combat In Germany will end. him pay for It. They have both played him for some years against his peace hopes and lately they have done it with in creasing audacity. Propaganda was built up In this country (but not in theirs) for the type of world co-operation he favored. They trapped him in his own propaganda. ... REPORT this without any critical intent, as it is now too late for criticism, although If criticism had been allowed to run a little more freely in the ist Mr. Roosevelt would not be in the defective technical position he now occupies in dealing with Churchill and Stalin. Officialdom will be right In saying there Is no particular new cause for "alarm." There is no more cause than there was a month, a year or two years ago, except among those who deluded themselves about the facts of life from, the beginning. If the game is going this way It is time for us to get some new chips or to play them with greater strength. If I were Mr. Roosevelt I would no longer let them play me against an estab lished position, which is weak for doing business, no matter what it may be ideallstically. I would drop the policy of keep ing lend-lease, credits, Bretton Woods agreements and what not separate from the peace. Under that arrangement they can hold back on the peace and take the money. If hey want to dIav thnt WAV I would postpone San Francisco and not only face the facts my self, but make the people face wiem, ana quit pretense. And I would make them come to me for every nickel they get.

S. C. Extension Service Oregon Hybrid Wins Cora Yield Vests Oregon hybrid No. 529 con tinues to be the highest ylelder among all field corn varieties at the central experiment sta tion at Oregon State College, according to latest figures com piled by Dr. R. E. Fore in charge of corn breeding and production work for the farm crops depart ment. Thia hybrid, obtained first from Wisconsin, Is now known as Oregon 523 because the seed is produced in this state. Sev eral tests, the latest made last season, show there is no signi ficant difference in yield wheth er the seed is grown in Wiscon sin or Oregon. For western Oregon hill lands, such as predominate in Clackamas county, Oregon hy brid 355 has given the best yields. For the warmer sections of the state with longer seasons. such as southern Oregon, Ore gon hybrid 695 is a later matur ing variety which gives heaviest yields under those conditions. following are the avern an yields for seven years at Cor- vams tor the three leading hy brids and the leading open pol linated variety. Minnesota 13; Oregon 525, 55.2 bu. per acre; Oregon 570. 54.8 bu.: Oreson 355, 4R.8 bu.; Minn. 13, 44.5 bu. a wree-year average is nnw available for Oregon 100, a ne-v hybrid actually developed at the Oregon station. It is now the earliest maturing hybrid avail able for this region, says Dr Fore, and is proving popular with growers who desire extra early maturity. Its three-year average yield at Corvallis is 50.6 bushels. Last year's tests on seed source showed that Oregon grown seed of hybrid 525 yield ed 61.4 bu. per acre compared with 60.8 bushels from seed obtained in Wisconsin. Other hybrids showed similar varia tions one way or the other so slight as to be not significant. Minnesota 13 seed from Wash ington county, however, pro duced 49 bushels per acre com pared with only 38.8 bushels from Idaho seed of the same variety.

S. Dept. of Agriculture shows the largest demand for turkey poults on record. Although commercial hatcheries hatched more than twice as many poults In February this year as during February last year, the number booked for delivery after March 1 was 40 per cent more than a year previous. A considerable proportion of turkey eggs are still hatched by hens and the information on this part of the business is not available. R. G. FOWLER, County Agent, Chairmen Named For '4-H Committees J.

And, In addition to iron richness, this nut brown, crunchy breakfast cereal is an important natural source of calcium, phosphorus, and vita mins Bi, Bi and niacin. That's because all-bran, produced by Kellogg's in Battle Creek, is made from the vital outer layers of finest wheat. KELLOGG'S All-Bran is made from the VITAL OUTER LAYERS of finest wheat Tou know that the skin of a potato and the pee of an apple are richest in vitamins and minerals. In the vital outer layers of wheat, too, Nature stores some of the grain's most important nutrients, ALL-BRAN is made of these vital outer layers and is more abundant in many food elemanta than whola wheat itself. ' America's Great Regulating Cereal And, In addition to being a storehouse of iron and other Important elements, famous KELLOGG'S all-bran is Nature's great regulating cereal.
