both production and carryover.
Figures in the report show that
the United States and the south
ern hemisphere wheat countries
are tending to decrease acreage,
but wheat production is on the
increase in Russia and the Dan
ube countries.
The supply in the United States
considering both carryover and
production is estimated at 1,200
million bushels, or 55 million
more than a year ago and 144
million more than two years ago.
Although wheat consumption is
expected to increase somewhat,
the report says that the domestic
carryover next year is likely to
be burdensome unless exports in
crease very substantially.

Unfortunately, Of
ficers Healea and Parsons of the
state police had other ideas, so
when they found the three men in
possession of some venison last
Friday, they took them before
Judge Hill of Vernonia.
The judge started in in a mild
fashion by fining each man $150
and giving him 60 days in jail.
When he learned that none of
them had a hunting license, he
changed his mind and doubled the
amounts, giving each man $300
and a jail term of 120 days.

PORTLAND GUNMAN
ONCE W1LARK RESIDENT
Albert Gould, who died in
Portland Saturday following a
gun battle with Portland police,
was a former Columbia county
man, having been for some time
in the employ of the Clark and
Wilson camp at Wilark. Gould,
who was an experienced crane
man, had charge of the big crane
at the camp, but was discharged
early in the summer. He was said
by other men employed with him
to be of a “hardboiled” dispo
sition.
Gould, an ex-convict from San
Quentin, was wounded while re
sisting an attempted search of his
apartment by Officers Kellar and
Talley. He was later found and
taken to a hospital where his
death occurred.

yet fully learned a lesson from him that it will have to
learn some day to preserve its very existence—that great
reforms can no longer be gained by the brute force of guns,
bombs, torpedoes and poison gas, but by the use of peaceful
means. In the hesitating, but clearly enunciated words of
his radio address Sunday he said, “I feel in the inner
most recesses of my heart, after a political experience of
35 years, that the world is sick unto death of blood spilling.
The world is seeking a way out and I flatter myself that
perhaps it will be the privilege of the ancient land of India
to show the way out to the hungry world.”

Lowden Urges Cow Testing
Ex-governor Frank O. Lowden »aid recently, “If dairy farm
er» all belonged to cow testing associations there would not
be the slightest danger from over-production for as prices de
clined the farmer could make a further elimination of the
least profitable cows and in this way production would be cur
tailed until prices rose again."
In its efforts to encourage better breeding, the 21st An
nual Pacific International Livestock Exposition, Portland,
Oregon. October 24-31, will exhibit thousands of pure-bred
Beef and Dairy Cattle. Horses, Sheep. Hogs, Goats, Poultry
and Rabbits. Premiums offered total $100,000.
Every indication points to a most comprehensive Expo
sition this year. For that reason the Bank of Vernonia re
commends attendance by every one in this community.
