FARMER ADMITS
BANK ROBBERY

Salem, Or. - Walter Brinsou, Linn
county rancher, confessed to Sheriff
Bower and other local officers that he
held up Lester Howell, bookkeeper OF
the Jefferson State bank, September
81, and looted the institution of $2940
Crimson was arrested at Albany by
Deputy Sheriff Morelock of Salem and
Sheriff Kendall of Linn county.
Brinson was first suspected in con,
nection with the bank robbery when
he paid to an Albany merchant 81
silver dollars in settlement of an ac'
count. 1t had been reported to the
officers that AL silver dollars were
taken from the bank and the incident
was telegraphed to Sheriff Bower OF
this city.
That same ambition which prompt
ed Crimson twice to mortgage his
chattels in violation of law, led him
also to rob the bank to pay off one
mortgage and save himself from the
penitentiary, according to an alleged
confession made by him in the Marion
county jail.

sion involving the entire railroad sit
uation, wage scales, depression in in
dustry aud finances, the interstate

Anticipated by statements in official

ricultural organizations.
The decision removes from wheat

other grains fixes the rates at 10 per
cent less than those on wheat. The
commission further ordered a new re-
lationship built up in the rates on
grain products, including flour and
other commodities, to agree with the
lower level on the raw material. The
increases given in 1920 gave the car
riers S5 per cent advance in the Mis-
sissippi valley and western territory;

tain and Pacific territory and 1913

Express Rate Increases
26 Per Cent April 2lst

Pierre, S. d., April 9.-Tbe South
Dakota board of railway commission
ers today announced a new basis for
determining express rates in this state
and at the same time issued an order
granting the request of the American
Railway Express company for a 26 per
cent increase. This increase, how
ever, was based on the new method of
rate determination and will actually
amount TO an increase of Is to 20 per
cent. The rates granted are to be
effective April 81, and remain in force
one year to test their fairness.
Nearly a year & the American
Railway Express company asked the
authority of the board to put into
effect a 20 per cent increase In the
state and at hearings in Sioux Falls
and here the board found such increas-
es under the old method Of rate de-
termination unjustifable and they also
found Inequalities between certain
towns, especially where the distance
was short. To remedy this and at the
same time provide a means for deter
mining rates for short distances the
new basis for rates was fixed.
The board admitted today that it
was influenced in a large degree by
the fact that the Interstate Commerce
commission authorized increases of 26
per cent and more than 20 states have
already conformed to these increases
for interstate traffic. The present
rates were put into effect during the
war by the direcetor-general OF rail
ways With the increases granted to-
day the intrastate rates will be approx
imately 100 per cent greater than the
pre-war standard while the rate for in
trastate trains will be SIS TO 60 per
cent higher.

Red Cross To Assist
Children OF Eastern Europe

Chicago, April 13.-Chapters in
the nine states in the Central DIVISION
OF the American Red Cross, compris-
ing the states of Iowa, Illinois, Ne
braska, North and South Dakota, Mon
tana, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Wy
oming, have been asked to contribute
282, 900 garments and $4,000 layettes as
their share of the $3.50 900 children's
garments for the needy children OF
Central and Eastern Europe.
This gigantic production campaign
is undertaken to supplement the child
feeding operations of the European
Relief Council, and has been heartily
endorsed by Secretary of Commerce
Herbert Hoover, Chairman of the Eu-
ropean Relief Council. Mr.. Hoover
states: Il understand that the Amer
lean Red Cross in connection with its
general child welfare program Is plan
ming TO undertake through its volun-
terri service in the United States the
production of certain essential gar
ments 10 clothe hundreds of thousands
of the UNDERGRAD children of Europe.
"This is indeed a splendid and most
essential service. The children as
well as the adult population, of Cen
trail and Eastern Europe in particular
are daily suffering from exposure and
from the diseases that follow in the
wake of an UNDERGRAD condition.
"The slow economic recuperation OF
these districts makes IL almost impos-
sibIe for the Governments concerned
to care adequately for this pressing
need of their populations and what
ever America can do to alleviate this
condition will be but another splendid
example of her desire to relieve real
wherever IL may be found.

seventeen.
This action was taken following an
address by j. M. Anderson of st. Paul,
member Of the committee of seventeen
and a member of the temporary board
of directors in the newly organized
farmers grain marketing body.
Mr.. Anderson said that in spite of
some differences as to compulsory
pooling, the l07 delegates at the Chi
cago meeting voted unanimously to
support the plan proposed by the com
mittee of seventeen. He said further
that already ten or fifteen million bus
hels of wheat were already pooled in
the Pacific Northwest in advance of
the organization work. The farmer
now has the option of pooling, straight
sale or consignment, but it is expected
that in the end the pooling arrange
ment will be found most satisfactory.
He gave the American Farm Bureau
federation the most credit for making
possible the development Of this plan
which he said is the most, important
advancement in agricultural progress

Bulletin-This week was a good one

day afternoon burned Mr.. Parsons
barn, some harness, five colts and
Mark Hannah" a priced stallion, who
was one of the fastest horses in the
county at one time. Monday evening
another fire northeast of town near
the DeGooyer farm was started by
lightning. Quite a quantity of hay
was burned. A high wind was blow
ing and made it exceedingly difficult
to fight the flames, but a timely rain
storm finally helped the fighters in
stopping the fire at about 1880 that
night. Another fire Sunday at Peno

stabilizing. Although II provides for

value of a truthful news service on
marketing and that legitimate hedging
would stand. With proper stabiliza-
ton the farmer would this year have
been receiving about 81 a bushel for
his wheat. The fact hat there are
about 40, 000, 900 bushels of wheat
still held on our farms, he said, is suf-
ficient testimonial that farmers will
pool voluntarily This grain is really
a pool. He urged farmers not to get
too impatient and expect everything to
be accomplished at once.
