Woodburn May
Reorganize Old
Guard Company

Woodburn, Nov. 29.-Long be-
fore the war Woodburn had an
armory and was one of the few
small towns in the state who could
boast of that advantage. This build
ing was headquarters for company

the trouble broke out on the Mex

the first to respond to the call of
President Wilson for help. But to-
day the city is without a military
company Company l disbanded
after the boys were sent overseas,
some uniting with one company
and some with another. Since
their return there has been no ef-
fort to organize until recently.
Now it is proposed 10 organize
company in Woodburn and the
proposition is receiving consider
able encouragement on the part OF
business men and citizens.
In the days when Woodburn
could boast of militia, Independ-

Ban on Sales of
Hops Would Hurt
Market, Claim

Aurora. Ore, Nov. 29.--- From
1000 to 1000 bales of hops are
consumed in the United States an
nually, according to a statement
made recently by Henry l.. Bents
of this city. This quantity, ne
says, is almost large enough to
absorb the surplus after the Brit
ish market is supplied. But II the
ban placed upon home brewing
stands, said Mr.. Bents, the Ameri-
can market for hops, small as 1t is,
will be destroyed.
But even that outcome does not
necessarily mean the death OF the
hop industry in the Unred
States, the grower continued. Hops
can be grown SO much cheaper on
the coast than in Europe, and yet
Weld a fair profit, that it is idle
to predict the total extinction OF
the hops indsutry in Oregon unless
it comes through the efforts OF
the prohibitionists to outlaw the
growing Of the crop entirely.
Latest estimates place the un-
sold hops in Oregon, it is said, at
approximately 5000 bales. The
English crop is reported to have
been 100000 pounds. or about 140,-
900 bales. Nominal quotations are
from 80 to So cents, but there are
no transactions.

BELIEVED HIMSELF TO BE
BLIND IN BOTH EYES
Ex-Service Man Adjudged Eligible
For Retaining When Power
of Suggestion Restored
Sight

Among blinded ex-service men there
was a curious case of a negro who
seemed to be blind in both eyes.
Neither eye could perceive five fling
ers at any distance. He had faint
light perception and there was hope
for restoration of sight in one eye.
He kept his eyes shut.
The man was AuJudged eligible for
retraining under the Federal Board
for Vocational Education and was
about to be assigned to the Mary
land Workshop for the Blind, when
another physician managed to per-
suade the negro that he could see.
The physicians report reads as fol-
lows: n Exl
"He was suffering from psyche
neurosis hysteria giving rise to mark.
ed blepharospasm and photophobia
and amaurosis.' All physical find
ings negative. Treatment by sug-
gestion completely cured up all SYM
ptoms and l discharged this man
cured"
All Of which high-sounding language
means in everyday talk, that here was
a man who thought himself blind and
thought so hard that he made other
people think so. When the doctor
made him think he saw, he saw.

Information by telegraph and mail
to the Weather Bureau is to the eff
.sect', that during the past week. the
seasonal advance in temperature and
freedom from storms has been adj
vantageous to stock and generally to
ranges. In the northern sections
where soil moisture is most abundant
grass is coming on nicely and the wa
ter supply has suffered little diminu-
ton; near the Mexican border the ab-
sence of rain is maifesting itself in
the browning of range pasture but
stock, are maintaining a condition
ranging from good to excellent. In
The Prescott, Coconino and Coronado
National Forests the range is in good
condition and losses in the trying
month Of May are expected to be
small. In these Forests and adjacent
territory the calf crop is unusually
large and present indications point
to one of the largest brandings of re-
