FILL CANS WITH FOOD

Gamers should fill their cans
as full of solid food as is prac-
ticable, if they wish to have their
product meet the requirements of
the pure food laws. says the Unit
ed State Department of Agricul-
ture, which has been giving con-
siderable attention to the matter
of slack-iilling on the part of man
ufacturers. Recently the Bureau
Of Chemistry issued Il schedule
of drained weights for certain
canned products for the guidance
OF the Gamers. In reply to in
quiries from Gamers who COM
plain that in some instances they
can not meet these requirements
the department gives this advice.
Fill the can as full of solid
food as is practicable by the best
commercial methods without i'm
pairment of the quality or appear
ance of the product. The can
that is as full of solid food as is
practicable and correctly labeled
will meet the requirements of the
pure food law with reference TO
fill, will promote fair trading
among Gamers, and will win the
confidence of the trade and the
consuming public"
1t is essential that the quantity
of food in the can be standardized
III order to promote fair trading,
food officials in the department
point out. Recently, it is said, 4
pack of peas that lacked per cent
of being properly filled was found !
In the quantity of the pack the I
slack-filling represented a differ /
ence of several Thousand dollars .
in the cost Of peas to the con-
public.

ALIEN BORN CITIZENS
MAY VOTE WITHOUT PROOF

SPOKANE, Wash.-It is un'
necessary for an alien-born either
to produce proof OF citizenship al
the time he registers to vote, ac-
cording to a decision handed down
by Judge Bruce Blake, of the SUI
perior bench.
The state law, which requires
production of citizenship papers
at the registration counter, is
knocked out and held unconstitu-
tional by the decision.
Hundreds of alien-born citizens,
heretofore unable to register be-
cause of loss of papers, will be al
lowed to get their names on the
books under the new ruling,
merely by affirming that they
have been naturalized.

100000 WANT
AUTO LICENSES

SALEM.-Withih a very shor
time Secretary of State Kozer will
have worked out 4 plan whereby
the task of handling the appli
cations for motor vehicle opera
tors licenses win be reduced tC
the minimum. Thus FAR approx
imately l65,00O applications fol
these licenses have been received
and by working night and day
the employees of the motor vehicle
department have succeeded in
sending out about three-fourths oil
the permits applied for.
The delay in sending out these
licenses is not due to any neglect
or inefficiency on the part Of the
secretary OF states office, but can
be traced directly TO the appli-
cants. From a survey of the APP
plications thus far received it is
evident that a large per cent of
the formal requests for permits
are defective.
To expedite the work of getting
cut these licenses the secretary
of state sent out printed applica-
tiOn cards on which to write the
information required by law. In
some instances the applicants have
failed to give their address, while
in other cases they made no eff
fort to set out the description
of the person desiring to drive.
The ages of a number of appli-
cants also were omitted.

INDIANS HOLD
WEIRD DANCE

POCATELLO, Idaho. - Every
year in midsummer the Bannocl;
Indians travel a little used trail
to their dancing grounds. Between
500 and 1000 OF them gather
yearly to worship the sun.
In the vast quiet of the even
ing, when the hush has fallen
over the sage brush and the sun
is a great ball of red fire sinking
behind the mountains, the dreary
beat OF their tom-toms and the
low ghostly chant of their song
can be heard for miles.
The sound grows in strength
as one approaches until with a
great burst of glaring camp fires
and seeming confusion the camp
ing grounds are reached. Indians
in their native garb are every
where, hideOus in their warpaints
and with glistening naked bod
les.
In the center of corral made
from limbs of trees stands pole.
Back against the walls are the
dancers and the chanters, and in
rythm to the beat of the tom
toms the dancer advances to the
pole, eyes uplifted in worship.
The young bucks who dance are
not permitted to eat or drink for
three days and are accompanied.
by the tom-toms beaten by the
squaws. The dance is a festival
of thanks to the gods for bounti-
tul crops and herbs, streams full
of fish and the sy full of fowls.
Now and then a dancer falls
to the ground from physical ex-
haustion and is carried to the side
to recover.

Wednesday marks the opening
of the hunting season in Oregon.
The season will run from Septem-
her l to October 81 in all dis
tricts of the state with the ex-
ception of Wallowa and Union
counties, where the season opens
September 10 and extends to No
yember 10.
Reports made to A. f. Burgh-
duff, state game warden, by his
deputies, indicate that deer will
be plentiful.
Just what effect the recent
rain will have on the deer hunt
ing is unknown, but there proba-
bly, was enough rain throughout
the state to be of some benefit to
hunters. Rain softens up the dry
leaves, twigs and underbrush and
makes it much easier for the hun
ter to move about.
Each year during the hunting
season many hunters have been
killed through carclessness. and
If the following instructions is
sued by the state game warden's
office are kept in mind accidents
of this nature may be prevented:
Think of the other fellow be
fore you shoot. DO not shoot un-
til you are positive your target ,
is not a human being. Be GER
tain your shots will not endanger
persons. cattle or horses.
Noises coming from within the
brush when the cause is not
known is not sufficient reason
'or a huntsman to commence
ihooting.
Hunters should wear colored
ieadgears or hats in order that
,thers may distinguish them.

NO OPEN SEASON
ON OREGON DOVES

1t is the general impression that
the open season on doves begins
Sept. 1st, but this Is wrong. The
season on doves is closed for ten
years. Game Wardens Ed Walker

wire which states that the fede-
raj migratory bird act closes the
season on doves for ten years and
supersedes and destroys the Ore
gon law which says the dove sea-
son opens September 1st. The
local game wardens will strictly
enforce this law.
The open season which begins
September lst is on deer and gray
squirrels.
