Some fields which were Irrigated Just last night were frozen this morning. Ike Asks Up In Army Fund WASHINGTON, June 28 MV-Gen. Dwight D.

The remainder would become eligible after an un specified number of months with the firm. He said retirement age had not been agreed upon but probably would be set between 55 and 65. Africans Show Alaska Interest ; SEATTLE, June 28 (iPy Natives and residents of Africa's Gold Coast appear to be greaUy Interested In Alaska and there's a reason.

One Arm Bandits Still In Evidence, By HALE SCARBROUGH Slot machines, the colorful one armed gadgets Uiat somehow typify life in the Far West, are very much In evidence around Klamath Falls and Klamath county these summer days, but they don't seem to be get Ung Uie play Uiey were, say, a year ago. That's probably because the honeymoon of extra nickels, dimes and quarters is over. People are beginning to think at least once be fore Uiey slip their odd silver Into the slots. However, the machines are around in a lot of places, usually just in back of a small partition and out of sight of prying eyes, unless your eyes pry a trifle off the beaten path. In some places Uie ever-Illegal slot machines have been abandoned as too much trouble, and replaced by garish-looking lighted console models which operate on the same principle line up three plums or cherries for the payoff. But the payoff Is chalked up In automatical ly free games. Any combination of fruit lined up which starts with a lemon is just that, a lemon. ' A gadget with a variation of the theme is the one with three push buttons that add a measure of skill to the playing and also makes the nickel-spending a mite more inter esting. If you get a likely but non paying batch of fruit salad on your first nickel, you can push a button or two and hold the proper reel or reels. Maybe you can hit the item needed to fill out a winner, on the next go-round. Taking in as much loose money, possibly more, than the slots are the myriads of punch boards to be found all over town. Many bars don't have one-armed bandlta as a sideline, but a good four out of five have punch boards. Giving credit where credit is due, a few don't. The big majority of the boards are nickel and dime stuff punch ft winning number and win a box of candy.

Potato Disease Held Identified CORVALLIS, June 28 (P) A mys terious potato disease which ap peared late last season and was thought to be late breaking leaf roll actually seems to be an entirely separate disease: late breaking virus. , . ., That was the report of Dr. J . Milbrath and Dr. Horley English,. planf pathologists, to county agents and growers of certified seed pota toes at a field day here yesterday. "Experiments with the disease are still continuing, they said. But Profit Less so does the value of the prize, and Uie percentage of winning numbers comes down. It's possible to win a sporting rifle; a good fly reel, an outboard motor or a decorative elec tric clock on a punch board here In town. Some pay off In cash. The boards all work on the sams principle of pushing out a slip of paper with a winner on lt, but oc casionally the fertile brains of the designers have literally gone to town in devising ways to lure the chary coin. For instance, there's one that gives you a partial poker hand to start with. King, queen, Jack and 10 spot of one suit. Your object Is to draw one card and try to fill out a good hand. Anybody will draw, to a straight flush, open on both ends. The payoff is at good figures 4 for 1 on any pair up to 20 for 1 If you hit the right ace to make It a . royal flush. Of course, you never know how many slips the board coniHuia Deariug citrus uiub uuii u fit the hand. Looking at lt that way, Uie odds might not be so good. The fellow who wants to gamble can get a fair shake for his money at the horse parlors, where you can place a wager of SI or more on a horse running In most any race In the country. You can bet the horse to win, place or show and collect when the results of the race corns In over special racing service wires., "The payoff Is absolutely honest, on odds figured by the pari mutuel take at the track. One disad vantage Is that unless your horns finishes In the money first, second or third you don't know how hs ran. If you were at the track you could at least see what happened to the beetle. ' Card tables are okay here, li censed by the city and run openly and straightforwardly, albeit at good profit. No money shows on the table nd people who know card tricks aren't welcome around tn efrcle.
