U. S. District Judge Gus J.
Solomon imposed the fines late
Friday after the corporation en
tered a plea of "nolo contend
ere." Attorneys said the plea did
not constitute an admission of
guilt but was merely a state
ment that the defendant did not
desire to contest the case.
The action ended a hard
fought court case which included
one trial in which the jury fail
ed to agree.
The eight counts on which the
corporation was fined charged
that the firm sold meat over
OPS ceiling prices.
Actions against Ralph Persell
and H. Larsen, Fred Meyer meat
department managers, were dis
missed on request of government
attorneys.

Mastodon Biography
Table Rock The rain of Sun
day and Monday put a stop to the
seeding of spring crops here
which was just getting under
way after the long wait on
weather conditions.
' The many flu victims here are
slowly recovering from severe
attacks.
Kenny Wyatt and Ernest Ham
ilton and a friend, Glenn Cham
berlain, of Richland, . Ore., re
turned to their school duties at
Eugene Sunday night after
spending the week's vacation
here. Chamberlain was a guest
at the Orville Hamilton home
while here.
The Red Cross drive conduct
ed by letter here as going over
good according to Mrs. R. E.
Neslon who has charge of the
work. Some $65 have come in so
far.
The usual meeting of Table
Rock improvement company
(local irrigation ditch) held last
Saturday at the school house was
poorly attended. The outgoing
board was reelected, Elmer Hull,
Orville Hamilton- and Walter
Leverette. Some applications for
irrigation water were acted on.
Miss Grace Bigham returned
to her school duties in Howard
district Thursday after a three
day vacation at home with the
flu.
A party of local small girls
made a trip to the top of upper
Table Rock Saturday. All got a
touch of poison oak with Glenna
May Brown getting the lion's
share.
The flock of large white birds
a dozen in number which has
spent the winter in the Table
Top Ranch pastures has dwin
dled to three in number, the
others presumably having re
turned north to their summer
nesting grounds.
Our poultry house was raided
Wednesday night by a coon who
killed all the brood of baby
chicks of a small mother hen,
then, adding insult to injury,
took her up on the house and
ate her. If we knew who left
the two dead coons on our front
fence some time ago we might
make a deal with them if they
would deliver dead or alive our
latest visitor.
Owing to illness of members
of committees in charge the reg

Community club and Ladies club
have been skipped. Next meet
ings will be held on the month
of April dates. ..
Several heavy blasts of rock

day and were said to be the

tists here are putting together,
piece by piece, the biography of
a mastodon, believed to be be
tween 9,000 and 15,000 years old.
The fossil - remains were un
earthed, near Mechanicsburg, O.,
two years ago by workmen dig
ging for a drain tile.
Results of the studies by six
Ohio scientists, published in The
Ohio Journal of Science, show
the animal died in a shallow
pond or small lake which ex
isted after the last retreat of the
glacier from Ohio's Madison
county area.
Bones of other animals and a
spear point, probably dating be
fore 500 B. C, were found among
or near the mastodon remains
and suggest the site may have
been a favorite water-hole for
animals, to which early men
came in search of game.
mite a year ago in search of gold
thought to have been hidden by
Indians.
Mr. and Mrs. Larry Hull
drove to Redding Wednesday to
break in a new Chrysler car.
Clyde Halfhill who has been
spending a leave of absence
here with home folks left Sun
day to resume his duties with the
armed forces.
On account of having lived
here for quite some time many
new comers ask us what the
weather is going to do. We have
to admit to them that we don't
know any more about it than
the weather man not withstand
ing our long residence.
Miss Jean Hamilton arrived
home from Corvallis Sunday
and will spend a week's vaca
tion with home folks here.
Sam Glass left Monday for
Portland to be inducted into the
armed forces. Sam has worked
on Table Rock farms Aor several
years starting in when a mere
boy working during school vaca
tions. During this time he has
grown to be an efficient, trust
worthy hand with farm work
and one hard to replace. He was
not interested' in the hours he
put in but in getting the job
done. We know that for Uncle
Sam he will be in there doing
what ever is assigned to him to
the best of his ability, although
he war game is a far cry from
the occupation he would choose.
Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Richardson
and children Diane and Dennis
of Portland, arrived Thursday to
spend a few days at the J. S.
Richardson home here. Richard-
son, of the Green, Richardson
and Green law firm of Portland,
is here on business in connection
with an injunction hearing. ;
Why Spherical Shapes?
By J. HUGH PRUETT
Astronomer. Extension Dftrtsisa
Oregoa Hither Education System
Not only in the realm of the
immensities is a spherical shape
the general order, but also in
the world of small things, even
the infinitesimally minute, is
this tendency universal.
Everyone knows the sun and
moon are round. Almost as many
realize that our earth is a globe.
Those who use astronomical tele
scopes find that the principal
planets are spherical. Rain de
scending from the clouds, tiny
dewdrops on the leaves, and soap
bubbles floating in the breeze
invariably assume the globular
shape.
The writer recently encount
ered a striking example of this
principle. On a yellow lunch
tray there had fallen the tiniest
speck of rich-red fruit juice, like
ly no larger in volume than the
point of a pin. The color con
trast was- so charming that s
magnifying glass was brought
into use. Under Its power the
minute droplet became a most
beautiful ruddy sphere, a world
in miniature.
Why do not floating soap bub
bles and dew drops assume a
cubical form? And why are
planets not flat disks as some
of the ancients thought our
world to be?
As to the soap bubbles, we
are told by the physicists that
surface tension tends to make
the area of the surface as small
as possible. And it can be shown
mathematically that for a given
volume, a sphere has the small
est possible surface of any fig
ure. One cubic inch in volume
in the form of a cube has a sur
face of six square inches, in a
sphere, of only 4.84 square
inches.
With my tiny droplet of fruit
juice, the surface tension and
the forces of cohesion were
bringing all parts as near the
center as possible and minimiz
ing the surface. Had it been
somewhat larger ,the gravita
tional force of the earth would
have been greater and would
have spoiled the spherical tend
ency by flattening it out.
In the case of a sun, planet,
or satellite, each is so far away
from any other body that the
gravitational forces within itself
overpoweringly predominate. All
parts are drawn toward the cen
ter. There are so many theories
recently for the manner in which
the planets were formed that it
is confusing. If we accept the
one prevalent not many year?
ago that they, were originally
molten masses thrown off from
the sun, then they naturally as
sumed spherical forms so that
their surfaces would become as
small as possible and all parts be
as near the center as they could
be. The corners on a liquid cu
bical planet would flow toward
places nearer the center. The
huge fluid sun easily assumes
this shape.
Some of the smaller asteroids,
the hundreds of tiny planets
mostly between the orbits of
Mars and Jupiter, seem to have
irregular shapes. The prevailing
theory that they 'are remnants
from the break-up of a former
solidified planet would easily
account for their non-spherical
forms.
