I am the regularly nominated candidate for the office, on the Demo cratic ticket. In laying my case before you I am not con cerned with party politics, as this is purely a local office and, more than any other of fice, should be divorced from politics. I am relying on the intelli gence of the voters to make their choice on purely person al qualifications; to pick the man who can render the most efficient and dependable ser vice. Io this end 1 invite the most rigid scrutiny of my past record. My life in Astoria has been an open book; here 1 have lived, reared my family and practiced law for over 12 years. During that time I have al so served as U. S. Commission er for 8 years, and my support of strict enforcement of our federal laws in that office is a matter of public record. During the same period I serv ed for almost 5 years as city attorney for Astoria. I took that office shortly after the destruction of the city by fire in 1922; and so had charge of the entire reconstruction pro gram. My record there shows less litigation for the city than almost any like period of time, with many times more public works carried on than in any like period of time. In fact onlv one lawsuit grew out of ail these public works, and that was decided in favor of the city. The above record speaks for itself. HOWARD K.

Explains Best Caponizing Method Caponizing fowls by means of but one slit reduces the ’tendency to "wind puffs” which frequently result from this operation, reports W. T. Johnson, poultry pathologist at the Oregon station, in answer to a question from a poultryman. These wind puffs also follow jagg’d incisions made in an operation. They are more or less harmless unless so big as to cause the fowl incon venience in which case they may be stopped by making a three-cor nered skin incision to release the air. Joy Theatre Sophomores Initiating Freshmen This Week EDITORIAL NOTES The sophomores are making this week an enjoyable one for the poor freshmen. We seniors still have very vivid recollections of how we were treated during freshman week of our first year in the high school.
