The tax savings effected for the 10,832 property holders this year amounted to $38,376. The aver age tax paid by each veteran was $114.55, compared to last year’s $106,24. I GEMS OF THOUGHT THANKSGIVING He who receives a benefit should never forget it; he who be stows should never remember it. —Pierre Charron Ingratitude is a mask of selfish ness. —Anonymous While no offering can liquidate one’s debt of gratitude to God, the fervent heart and willing hand are not unknown to nor un rewarded by Him. —Mary Baker Eddy Not every one who discharges his debts of gratitude can plum', himself on being grateful. —La Rochefoucauld One of the best things about a very little child is that he never thanks you for doing things for him—He is so sure you want to. —Maurice Harspool Many favors which God giv ’th us ravel out for want of hemming, through our own unthankfulness; for though prayer purchaseth blessings, giving praise doth keep quiet possession of them. —Thomas Fuller First hand knowledge of par ticular regulations is important in conducting business affairs. These questions answered by the State Bureau of Labor may be some you have been pondering. Q. Doesn’t Oregon have a mini mum wage law for women? A. Oregon does not have one overall minimum wage for wo men workers but sets specific minimums for individual occupa tions.

What are the minimum wages for women in (1) a store, (2) a factory, (3) a hospital, (4) an office, (5) a restaurant? A. (1) Mercantile 70c, (3) Manu facturing 65c, (3) Hospital 65c, (4) Office 75c, (5) Public House- keeping 65c. Q. May women be paid on a piece work or commission basis? A. A woman may be paid on such a basis if the average wage is equal to or exceeds the legal minimum for the particular oc cupation in which she is employ ed.

Macadam Portland, Oregon Heavy Damage Noted From Freeze on Shrubs Many of our horticultural plants were not completely* dor mant at the time of the recent freezing weather, or perhaps some of the species were not suf ficiently hardy to stand such weather. At any rate there is considerable damage showing up. The new growth on laurel has been killed, and this is also true on some of the latest leaves of t camelias. Instances of this kind point up the importance of delaying prun ing until the danger of severe winter is past. A certain amount of winter killing is not unusual, but if pruning is delayed, all such wood can be removed.
