Portland's electric light and power plant shows a profit of $23,000 the first five months of this year and they claim to lie manufacturing the juice now at a cost of 1.18 per kw, which is lower than the lager plants and if they can do that this year they certainly have a big problem rather well whipped.

The trouble right now is that the treasuries of the rich are filled with gold but just how can the ordinary citizen get at it legally? President Hoover may not make any speeches on his western trip but if he stands still a few minutes lie will have to tell the wheat tanners out there something and he may have to explain his theory of a high tariff that makes Canada so mad they are retaliating. If this is farm relief most folks don't approve of it. It's easy to drift down stream but wh< n you are pulling up current you test your ability and your worth.

That business is better is reNow watch Canada make the same mistake this country has made, enactment of a tariff so high as to make other nations retaliate in every way possible.

WARNS AGAINST ROAD BLOCKING Indianapolis, Ind., July 31 —(Special)—The slate highway commission took a positive stand today a ■gainst the temporary blocking of arterial highways in small towns by band stands, carnival outfits, atm the like, announcing that it will not consent to detour traffic for such purposes. Each year several small towns stage carnivals or shows of somesort. and generally wish to place the outfits on their main street, which in most cases Is the route of travel of the state road through the town. Promoters ask permission to dt tptir traffic for a few days or a week and when it is not granted, occasionally will establish a blockade regardless of commission approval. The result is much confusion and inconvieuce for through traffic until the commission hears of it and adjusts matters. Last year such an occasion arose on State Dd. 34, handling a large amount of Illinois traffic to Indianapolis and other points and last week a similar situation developed on Rd. 37, at Paoli, which city also is the junction of such important cross and diagonal roads as United States Highway 150 and State Rd. 56. Here, traffic was detoured only at night and but for a short distance yet the highway department officials were beseiged with letters of protest from indignant travelers. Similar instances have occurred on some of the Northern Indiana state highways it is said. Unusually heavy traffic on all state highways make such a procedure impossible, it is pointed out. and promoters of street fairs and other amusements using the streets for show grounds should, in the interest of safety, likewise Io expedite traffic, set up their outfits on side streets. The unofficial closing of state roads through small towns for such enterprises as aforementioned, has more than any other reason ad-

vanced, caused the motoring public to request the commission to reroute important highways lo the edge of the town. A. H. Hinkle, maintenance superintendent, says. - —o — Crops Month Ahead Green Bay Wls., _(UP)~€orn crops were reported nearly a month ahead of lust year in this section, while rye. wheat, barley oats and sugar beets showed marked Improvement after a setback occasioned by spring drouth. Farmers reported that general crop conditions und prospects were satisfactory foi this time of the year. —O' 1 , """ Woman Made Sheriff Akron. Colo., -(UP)-Mrs. Mae Justice, widow of the late W. B. Justice, has been appointed sheriff of Washington county. She will serve until a new sheriff is elected this fall. — LOSE FAT Safely and Quickly Kruschen Salts—(a perfect combination of the six mineral salts your body must have every day to function properly) purify your blood of harmful adds, and aid the kidneys and bowels to throw off waste material the continual formation of which is probably the’ cause of your fat.
