often during other periods of the year.
The older people, who are left behind,

The postal department is using
every effort to encourage Christmas

Christmas, of course. does not fall on

make presents during the American
HOLIDAYS as we'll as their own

come in for good share OF the
Christmas money orders. Most OF

given each and every boy this year in

will be given by Prof. Virgil Fendall
of the department of agriculture, who
has held high offices in the military
department of the oregon Agricutur-
al College. Park seemed to favor
cadet corps which would not be an
swerable to the call of the president

boys of the seventh grade and con-
tinues throughout the high school.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.--Railroad and
grain men here said the proposed
strike would certainly paralyze CEN
tral western states and work great
hardships. Grain and cattle move
ments would practically cease. The
grain now stored in eastern milling
cCnters is totally inadequate to with
stand a prolonged blockade. Ex-
tremely high prices and food shortage
would probably result. Big eastern
cities would be nearer to starvation
than at any other time in American
history.
