FARM LABOR SHORTAGE

Portland, Ore, May 31.-The
seriousness of the farm labor
shortage in Oregon is empha-
sized in a statement made today
by Ralph d. Hetzel, in charge of
the food preparedness drive.
Hetzel said it might be neces-
sary to close all stores four days
week to provide workers for
the fields. Even such drastic
action as this may not solve the
farm labor problem, and ar
rangements are under way to
call women into the fields as
well as men.
Sawmills, shipyards and 9TH
er enterprises are competing
with the farms for men, Hetzel
declared.

mysterious orderly.
Adams resisted his opponent stub
bornly and valiantly, but by trick

his fall and the sound Of pistol shot
occurred simultaneously. He lay for
moment stunned. When he strug-

horse and rider speeding toward cover
