GOVERNOR WITHYCOMBE
ENDORSES CONVENTION
Thinks Representatives Of wheat IN
Uerests should Accomplish
Much Good.

CORVALLIS, Ore, 16.-''Wheat
growers of oregon, Washington and
Idaho are practically the only large
producers in the country who handle
grain in bags rather than in bulk,
says Governor James Withycombe in
letter to the governors Of Washing
ton and idaho, inviting them to be
present or send Representatives to the
annual grain growers convention.
This convention will be held in Cor
wallis January 8, and 5, during Far
mers' Week. Both governors have
announced their intention to semi
personal representatives as well as
two special delegates from their state
representing the wheat interests.
The advantages of adopting the
bulk system continues Governor
Withycombe, are patent to any one
who has given the subject painstak-
ing consideration but TO make any
such far reaching reform as would in
volve changing the system is OF
course extremely difficult Not only
has the natural prejudice born of
long practice to be overcome but al
so economic problems of considerable
scope has to be met. The tidewater
movement would have to be provided
for the new method of handling grain
at considerable expense. The farmers
machinery for storage facilities, the
railroads carrying, facilities, the ex.
porters' equipment. must all be.
changed to a considerable degree.
''In the past think it can be said
fairly men of large interests and con-
servative vision have not always iden-
titled themselves with meetings to
consider this matter. In this COM
ing convention a program of very
great worth has been prepared and
perhaps for the first time in this con-
vention representatives of every in
tarest involved will participate"

LITTLE BOYS, CIRCUS CRAZY,
LOST FOR NEARLY A YEAR

BLUFFTON, Ind, Feb. 10
Somewhere in the United States two
lost little boys are wandering around
looking for the circus they dreamed
and read and played about so much
on the home place OF John Wolver-
ton, near here. Ever since early IN
June last year the boys, Abner, 10
and Russell, 10, have been gone.
Their father and older brother Ar
chic have spent a great deal OF time
and money running down vague ru-
mors of lost little boys in cities all
over the middle west. 1t Is almost
year since they ran away ana the
little boys have not been found.
John Wolverton is not a rich man
He has a pretty good farm ana
works hard to keep it up IN the
