Opposes Inviting LabOrers to Oregon

University, Of Oregon, Eugene-Let-
ters that invite laboring men 10 come
and settle In Oregon should not be sent
by Oregonians 70 Eastern friends or
Eastern newspapers. This admonition
was given by O. P. Hof. state labor
commissioner, to students in the Uni
versity school Of commerce. Oregon
offers less opportunity for the laboring
man than any state In the Union. A
city the size Of Portland has five times
as hard work taking care Of a surplus
OF 10000 men as q city Of the same
size in Massachusetts, has, because
Portland does not have the great man
ufacturing establishments Of the
East, said Mr.. Hof.
The state labor commissioner thinks
that rs partial remedy for winter un-
employment the state should arrange
70 get needy men onto small tracts Of
stump land. s'No man can make q
profitable investment by buying such
land and putting all his time on Il, "
said Mr.. Hotf, "but by using his idle
time any man could build up a good
home in few years."
Mr.. Hoff said compulsory safeguards
would put an end to 80 per cent Of all
accidents In industrial plants in Ore
gon.

ADVICE TO HUNTERS
WHO WANT THE BEST
RESULTS FROM GUNS

When you go into the woods for
game take a clean gun.
Take a slant down the old left side
choke and the right side scatter and
see if the o. X. sign is in both barrels.
If not, take the old gatler down.
Hunt up the washtub, the washpan or
the bathtub, as you prefer, and make
some warm soapsuds and insert a
swab and a large amount of elbow
grease and go to it,
After you have given good bath to
the barrels, inside and out, rub it
hard and dry with dry rags, then
take another peek.
II she still looks spotted take your
wire swab and rub her good and hard
then work thu. uliskly with some
oil on q we'll saturated cloth, then
with dry cloth and the chances are
the job will be complete.
If the barrels are very bad from
lack of attention and show powder
rust and lead in them, stick cork in
each barrel and fill them to the nOz
zle with kerosene and let them stand
for twenty four hours, then 60 through
with the former process.
If everything comes out but the
lead from this treatment slap in &
goodly amount of nitro powder sol
vent on the loaded spots and let il
stand for another forty-eight hours
then finish it up as before stated.
Nitro solvent is the salvation of the
small bore rifle and is just as neces
cessary for the larger bores.
Run a well saturated rag OF the
solvent through the barrel, from the
chamber, until she works easy, ther
give her a nice brisk rub.
Finish up with dry cloth to see il
any dirt remains. If not, run another
saturated rag through and leave
plenty of the solvent in the barrel
Clean solvent from rifle and OF
from shotgun before shooting.-Ex.

SOME GOOD ADVICE

Kidney disease is too dangerous

Eat little meat, take things easier

them. Here's one of the many state

WHAT Is A KISS

All the thrills in THE Kiss are
mot registered on the screen at the
Casino theater where that Famous
ers-Paramount Picture is being
shown tonight. Owen Moore, who
is co-starring with Marguerite
'Courtot in this production, was in
formed by Director Del Henderson
that he was to make an aeroplane
flight. Proceeding to the United
States aviation training grounds on
Long Island, Moore donned the para
phernalia of the aeronaut and
climbed into an aeroplane beside the
pilot, without asking any questions
After they had been up in the air
for some time and had reached an
latitude of over thousand feet
Moore yelled to- his companion that
it was just like sitting in a rock
ing chair.
Have you taken many passen'
gers up?" shouted the star in order
to be heard above the roar of the
engine.
