HAND-TO-MOUTH BUYING Hand-to-mouth buying is here to stay, according to leading authorities in the world of commerce and indus­ try. By that it is meant that merchants no longer stock up on large quantities o f goods as they did in pre-war days. The same is true or purchasers of machinery and tools. Strange to say, it is held by these same authorities that careful and conservative buying is a good thing for business in the long run. There is less waste in mer­ chandise which goes out of style and in tools and ma­ chinery which become obsolete. Moderate stocks carried by local merchants make fi­ nancing easier and distribute the demand for money throughout the year, resulting in the economical and un interrupted use of a moderate volume of credit. Increased production and transportation facilities have made it easier for manufacturers to fill orders thus removing the necessity for placing large orders a long way ahead. In the matter of machinery and tools, the possibility o f new inventions and improvements tends against the accumulation of large surpli s production. E. F. DeBrul a leading manufacturer, recently said: “ So many superior designs have been brought out in the last five years that me' hanical experts agree that nearly every type of machine tool built up to 1021 is now definitely obsolete for fast production.” All these factors.have simplified the problems o f the consumer and retailer, but have correspondingly inereas ed the hazards o f manufacturing. STRAW IS VALUABLE According to George H. Harrison, a leading industrial chemist o f St. .Paul, a ton of good wheat or oat straw has a potential value o f $250. He is said to have obtain ed from a ton of straw about 1,600 pounds of useful pro ducts, including roofing and damp-proofing jiaiiit, a fly spray and a new germicide considered effective by the Mayo brothers, famed surgeons. Although not yet economically practical, it is possible to produce from straw a gas capable o f running auto mobiles, while many other products of value may be de­ rived from it by destructive distillation. Mr. Harrison believes that when the various process­ es for utilizing it have been perfected the straw will be more valuable to the farmer than the grain that grows with it. -x - f People will buy anything on installments savings account. except ? ä n ? i POWELL SERVICE STATION Who remembers when good ladies tried to reform old soaks by getting them to sign the pledge?

Davis, a practicing attorney o f Vale, Mal­ heur County, since 1911, former circuit judge of ninth judicial district which comprises Grant, iaurney and Mal­ heur counties, has been appointed corporation commis­ sioner by Governor I. L. Patterson. Judge Davis has represented Grant, Harney and Mal­ heur counties in the state senate for four years, serving in the 1925 and 1927 legislatures. He has resided in Ore­ gon since 1891, and was admitted to the bar o f this state in the same year, having previously received his legal education and first bar admission in Missouri. For sev­ en years, Judge Davis practiced law in Portland. While a resident of Vale, he served two terms as mayor of that city, also as president o f the Vale chamber of commerce, and at the time of his election to the state senate, Judge Davis was president o f the Malheur county bar associa­ tion. His judicial, legal and legislative experience have giv­ en Judge Davis a valuable understandng o f the Oregon laws that regulate the formation operation of corpora­ tions and issuance o f securities. As a member of the legislature particularly has he had an opportunity to pass upon measures proposed for the purpose of strengthening existing laws, and to analize the motives ; ; and purposes that animated the sponsors of remedial-leg­ islation. With this background of experience, to which can be rightfully added an unbiased conservatism and staunch honesty of purpose, Judge Davis takes up his duties exceptionally well equipped for the task of super­ vising the incorporation of business concerns and admin­ istering the state’s blue sky law in the interest of the in­ vesting public. Judge Davis has expressed his interest in the fact that there are no statutes regulating or specifically extending state supervision over the installment bond business as now, conducted in Oregon. There is need in his opinion for a more accurate definition o f the collateral that such companies can buy with the capital amassed by them through payments of bond installments, and a more ex­ I act specification of the liabilities o f the issuing compan­ ies under their bond contracts.— Oregon Voter.
