For Action Use Tribune Want AdslFor Action 1 Begins on farm products-and their effect on the cost of living, we thought he needed to be en lightened. Just before reading his clev erly worded "dig" at farmers, we had noticed at the break fast table a package of 40 per cent bran flakes, the net weight was given as 14V2 oz. and the price 30 cents. The price farmers here get for No 1 hard wheat, support and all, is $1.71 a bushel, or 2.8 cents a pound. If we call it even 3 cents and say the 14 ounce package of bran flakes weighs a pound, the farmer would have only 3 cents in it. In other-words, if you took all the wheat out, it' would still cost 27 cents. The picturesque package is nice to look at, but would it furnish much nourishment if eaten. Mr. J. evidently thinks the 3 cents is too much for the farmer. The percentage of the sell ing price the farmer gets for many of his other products figures about the same as wheat, but when his machin ery is worn out, he can sell it for $12 a ton, and later buy it back in a tractor or combine at close to $1,000 a ton. A county road crew is work ing on the curve near the Ta ble Top ranch. This curve, scene of several accidents, one of which took the lives of 3 soldiers, is being lengthened so as to make it more gradual. A man from Utah was here Tuesday looking over, and in quiring about the Table Top ranch. He is interested in dut- chasing a large acreage in this vaney , sunaoie ior a came ranch that could be operated by him and his sons. Every thing, including the price, seemed to be O.K. with him, but wasn t sure he and his boys could handle such a large enterprise. This we overheard in a Medford store recently: "Well, we are through shopping, had n't we better be going?" Well, I suppose so, but I hate to go before I've used all. my meter time." ( Mrs. Agnes Dunlap Zim merman, teacher at a Wash ington junior high school, was chosen teacher of the year by the Washington State Federa tion of women's clubs, according-to a story in a Yakima paper.

The man who measures our wheat acreage, of which we haven't any, was here the oth er day, and seemed surprised that we didn't know him.

A relative of the Bert Pierce's in the poultry busi ness back in Iowa writes that they have turned their hens out to russle their own feed, as eggs there are 18 cents a dozen, and fat hens are seven cents a pound.

Ralph Ellis was elected a member of the board of direc tors of the Antioch Cemetery association at their annual meeting May 30. Many plans for improving the grounds were suggested and discussed This cemetery, situated as it is with the type of soil, dram- age, natural scenery, and trees, could be made one of the most beautiful burial places in the county. A small membership fee from all in terested could go a long way toward doing this. Guests at the R. E. Nealon home Saturday night were the Bert Pierce, Don Wheeler, and Norman Matteson fami lies, who were shown several reels of home made movies, among them being some sent by the William Bishops from their .Kansas City home.

Use Tribune Want Ads " Buried Treasure Indian Artifacts Hold Great Collector Interest Even if they are broken, some of the Indian arrow heads, spear points and toma hawk heads may still have a substantial value. It all de pends on how good the piece was originally and whether, you have all the pieces. A case in point is that of a spear "head which the. son of a friend of mine found recent ly. In its. original state, it was a little over six inches long, but as found, in a small de pression where the earth had been washed away by a vio lent rain, it w a s in three pieces. How the piece had been broken is anybody's guess. The tnree pieces oi Hint nxxea so neatly together it was almost impossible to tell that the dark colored, tapering sliver of chipped stone had been broken in two places. The jointure, even at the edge of the sharp blade, was almost perfect. At first, the youngster was tempted to throw the pieces away, but fortunately he de MILK-WHITE MUG MADE FOR CENTENNIAL EXHIBIT There isn't such a variety of design in mugs as in other types of drinking vessels, for the simple reason that not so many of them are made. None theless, there is variety enough so that some of them are highly interesting collect or's items. One that I saw recently is a good example. It was a small one, of milk white glass. Its shape was that of a Liberty Bell and the handle was mold ed in the form of a snake. I held it up for a closer look at the base. Inscribed along it were the . words Manufactured at the Centen nial Exhibition by Gillinger & Sons." The niece was one of those madeat the firm's concession oh the grounds of the Phila delphia Centennial in 1876. Most of those turned out there and sold to the public RARITY OF COIN WILL OFFSET ITS MUTILATION As a general rule, the bor ing of a hole through a coin so that it can be strung or used for jewelry greatly de creases its value. But that rule is highly rela tive, for if the coin so used is rare enough, the fact that it has been treated in that way won't make so very much of a difference. An example is one that I saw involving an 1830 five- dollar piece of Georgia gold. A small hole had been bored through it so it could be hung on a chain as a pendant, and the hole had been so placed that it didn't destroy any of the lettering on the coin. The coin, catalogued at $3,500 by some dealers, pro vided it is in near perfect condition, is of exceptional value not only because of its rarity but also because it is one of the earliest privately minted gold coins after the founding of the republic. ; On the obverse side it has the words TEMPLETON REID -ASSAYER surrounding $5. On the reverse are the words GEORGIA GOLD $5 and the date 1830. The coin was struct by Reid, in Lumpkin county, Lra., and during the same year he issued three others: a two-and-a-half-dollar niece and two of the ten-dollar denom ination, one with a date and one without. Because there are so few of these five-dollar pieces to be found today, the holing of one otherwise m excellent condition, did not make a Wendt Resigns as CD Supervisor County Commissioner Ches ter Wendt has resigned effec tive June 15 as cer-all su pervisor of Jackson county civil defense. Wendt has an nounced. , He had served as super visor for 2V2 of the 4x2 years he has been a county com missioner. Press of business makes the resignation neces sary, Vendt said. He added that he has enjoyed working with Maj. Gen. J. H. Hicks, director of Jackson county civil defense. Wendt said that the lease on his 162 acre farm has ex pired and he now has to take over the entire responsibility himself. This plus his duties as ' county commissioner would make it impossible to continue with civil defense, Wendt explained. Ocean water Is saltiest near the surface and less so at greater depths. f"""rrnmffmi cided to fit them together with an' application of color less cement. It worked so well that when he showed it to his father, the owner of a sta tionary store, he offered . to sell it for him as a letter open er. . It sold readily enough, as a repaired spearhead, bringing $35 without any difficulty. Impressed with the speed at which the piece sold, the youngster began to study the sales possibiliteis in, other In dian artifacts. Those with the arrowheads seemed especially interesting. Since large cufflinks were fashionable -for men, ' the youngster decided that cuff links made out of arrowheads would have a good t appeal. Arrowheads of the proper size were obtainable at 35 cents each, and with the applica tion of "findings," the metal link part available at about the same price, the young ster was soon turning out a product that sold fairly well at $5 the pair. as a means of letting them see the actual manufacturing pro cesses of the firm were in clear glass. Only a small num ber were turned out in milk white, and since I have seen one other in a blue glass, there were undoubtedly a few made in still other colors. Even those in clear glass, however, are rare today -commanding a price of $10 to $25. As for the milk white one, the owner told me she had to pay $30 for it and felt herself lucky to get it at that price. Regarding the value of those in other colors, who ever has one would be most ill advised to let it go for anything less than $50 or $60. They are' so very rare that any advanced collector would feel quite, justified in paying such a price. major difference in its value. When the piece was appraised for purposes of settling ah estate, the appraiser found that the coin could be sold for $2,250 to one dealer and $2,500 to another, despite its mutilation. And since they would obviously have resold it for a profit, the rarity of the piece well offset its mutil ation. (Released by McClure Newspaper Syndicate) If You're Thinking About ...
