County Agent ()kerstrom Shows
Kiwanians Problems Of
Agriculture Here
A brief glimpse of the farmer
problem in Mason County was giv-
en the Kiwanis Club today by
Clinton Okerstrom. county agent,
who exhibited plats showing how
the prices of basic farm products.
and butterfai
seemed to follow the same course
through the years, with the probj
lem for the nation growing more
acute since great surplus is pro-
duced in some lines while all ex-
port is cut off due to world war
troubles and prices hold low.
In Mason County the area of
cultivated lands is low, less than
two per cent. of the whole, while
at least ten per cent. of the lands
are cultivable, and the individual
farm tracts at the average of
eleven acres to the farm, is much
too small to make general farm-
ing profitable. In too many cases
the farm is merely incidental to
.a job in industry, and until some
way of financing larger clearing
of lands is found. the growth into
more profitable farming will be
slow; present farms are too small
to provide hay and feed, and much
of the profit of stock and dairy
goes to outside products which
shbuld be raised at home. In his
opinion, there is’ a future for ber-
ries, poultry, stock and dairy in
Mason County, and more atten—
tion should be turned to the lands
for the future as the lumber in-
dustry wanes.

Questionnaires Placed At 4 (Ion-
, venient Spots For Voluntary
‘ Registration For Home
Emergency Defense
Fresh off the press in Indian-
?lapolis. Ind, a shipment of ques-
tionnaires for local registration of
‘members of The American Legion
and other World War veterans
Ihere, for national defense purpos-
has reached Fred B. \Vivell
fpost and have been placed with
'Ed Faubert at the Shelton Hotel,
iwith Harold E. Lakeburg, Herbert
1G. Angle, and Cliff VVivell at Wi-
Tvell's Texaco Service.
Post Commander John Eliason
:announced that all arrangements
‘have been completed to register
levery local Legionnaire and World
iWar veteran if possible. The lo-
:cal registration is part of the na-
jtionwide program of- The Ameri-
1can Legion to catalog the qualifi-
ications and talents for future pos-
lsible home defense service of all
iLegionnaires and war veter-
ians. The registration is to be
entirely voluntary. There is no-
thing compulsory about it.
The registration will provide 10-
cal posts everywhere, their de-
partment headquarters, and na-
tional headquarters of The Ameri-
Ican Legion with complete indexes
of the qualifications, experience,
education and special training or
every member, and war veterans
in general. These indexes will
constitute a vast pool of Ameri-
can Legion resources in manpow-
er and potential abilities that
will enable the government to
draw upon it for national defense
purposes according to its needs.
For instance, if the government
requires the services of some sort
of a technician of proved loyalty
in a certain locality it can locate
such an individual without delay
by appealing to The American Le—
gion in that community. The post
hopes to have a complete index
of every local World War veter-
an, showing his capabilities, and
thus will be “athlete, produce quick-
ly the man with thespeelnc quali-
fications for the specific job. Sim-
lilarly department and national
headquarters will have indexes, on-
ly on larger scales.
“The registration will be entire<
ly voluntary on the part of local
Legionnaires and World War vet-
erans,“ said Commander Eliason.
“We must not lose sight of the
fact that the national constitution
of The American Legion specifical-
ly provides that the Legion is a
civilian organization. Member-
ship in The American Legion
does not affect nor increase lia-
lbility for military or police ser-
vice. _
“Accordingly the duty which
might conceivably be requested of
the Legionnaire or. World War vet-
eran as a result of his filling out
The American Legion national de-
fense questionnaire will always
lbe voluntary in character upon his
part.
“We know that practically un-
animously American World War
veterans will welcome this oppor-
tunity of placing themselves in
a position of serving their coun-
try and community in case of an
existing emergency's requiring
such service.
i “It is considered that the vast
reservoir of practical experience
existing within the membership of
The American Legion and the po-
tential utilization of this experi-
ence, Should be cataloged in such
a manner that the information
contained therein will be readily
available to the leadership of The
American Legion, should the need
for our services be made evident
by the constituted authorities of
the Federal, State and Local gov-
ernments.
"We appreciate that the volun-
tary accomplishment of the regis-
tration provided by the use of
the questionnaire forms will be
a task of great magnitude and
that its completeness will be. de-
Pendent upon the loyal coopera-
tion of every local Legionnaire and
World War veteran.”

en this morning to the $156,140

Old Timer Writes
For Shelton History
W. J. Countryrnan, of Route 6,
BOX)- 568, Tacoma, writing for one
of :the Shelton Booklets recalls
having landed at Kamilchc in Ma-
son County in February, 1890,
just 51 years ago, and that he
first met Arthur Govey, at the
old “Y” on the Port Blakaly Rail-
road; that he had one of Pete
Peterson’s bib: overalls and was
greasing skids at camp. His over-
alls fitted from the ground right
up under his chin, and looked odd
to me, a tenderfoot fresh from
Kansas. He sends best wishes to
all old friends.
RAYONIER EARNINCS CLIMB
SHARPLY DURING PAST YEAR;
PROFIT DOUBLE PRTOR TERM
San Francisco, Feb. 25th.——Ray-
onier Incorporated reports for the
nine months ended January 31,
1941, first nine months of its cur-
rent fiscal year, consolidated net
profit of $3,031,953, equal, after
allowing for regular dividend re-
quirements on the $2.00 Cumula-
tive Preferred stock, to $2.17 a
share on 963,871 shares of com-
mon stock outstanding. This
compares with $1,425,193, or 50
cents a share of common stock,
(for the corresponding period of the
preceding fiscal year.
During the first nine months of
the current fiscal year the com-
pany actually paid dividends on
the preferred stock in the amount
of $2,504,820, or $4.00 a share,
thereby clearing all accruals and
placing the preferred stock on a
current dividend basis. In addi-
tion to paying these preferred divi-
dends, the company prepaid $1,-
000,000 of its long-term bank
loans during the nine months, and
a further prepayment ’of $500,000
,was made as of February 10, 1941.

This reduced the outstanding long-

The company's provisions for

taxes for the first nine months of
the current fiscal year amounted
to $2,655,279, :is against a provis-
ion of $281,170 for federal income
tax in the corresponding period a
year ago.
The sharp imcrease in the com-
pany’s net profit during the cur-
rent year, in f cc of the spectacu-
lar.“ rise in fe‘eral taxes,"- has re-
sulted from substantially larger
tonnage sales' of pulps, together
with the higher average pulp pric-
es prevailing during the period.
Sales of pulps to domestic cus~
tomers during the nine months
ended January 31, 1941, totaled
154,396 tons and were the largest
for any similar period in the his-
tory of the company. The pulp
and paper tonnage sold in various

and during the corresponding per-
iod of the preceding fiscal year, is

CREAMERT ETTOYS
SOLID UPTREND lN
111 news for Skokomish Valley
residents was received by the
county board yesterday when the
state highway department refused
to sanction the $8000 repair and
renovation project on the Skoko—
mish River bridge over the old
highway which the commission-
ers had mapped out last week. The
state’s disapproval of the project
said the work was “unwarranted.”
However, approval of the state
highway department was received
on the purchase of a new tractor
for road district three and a new
motor patrol grader for road dis-
trict one.
The county board passed a reso-
lution to set aside $1000 from the
county road fund to widen and
improve generally the Satsop-Clo-
quallum road connecting the Sat-
sop River road with the Cloqual-
lum Creek road.
The ninth in the series of pub-
lic auction sales of county-held tax
title lands sponsored by the coun—
ty board was set for April 12 with
applications for purchases of land
at that sale to be accepted up to
and including March 6.
A motion was passed to call for
bids on a super deluxe sedan car
in the low price class for road
district one but no date on when
the bids are to be opened was
set.

This airplane plunged into Hood
lCanal near Hoodsport, the body
,of Charley Stevens of Bremerton,
ywas being sought today by search-
Ters directed by Sheriff Gene Mar-

State Patrolman Cliff Aden. A
,shrimp boat was assisting in the
Edragging operations.
I The plane fell into the Canal
yesterday about two or three hun-

,from Hoorlsport. Numerous parts
lot the plane were picked up in
{the canal by persons who went
Tout to the scene in boats.
1 Although the flier was not
‘dz‘finitely known to be Stevens,
1the fact that he was flying over
Tthc art-a at the time and had not
1 returned to Bremerton, pointed
.to his being the victim.
Stevens, a Bremerton Navy

$112,000 to $137,000, a 23 per cent,
gain, for the Mason Coun ty
Creamery Association, the annual
report made to the stockholders of
the association last Saturday
showed. '
The annual gathering of stock-
holders was well attended and re—
sulted in the re-election by unani-T

association. Mervyn Wivell was
returned as president, Al Huerby ,

The tremendous gains of last’
year are continuing over into the
current year’s business, too, Man-
ager Emil Lauber informed the
stockholders, for duringthe first
quarter (the association’s fiscal
year ends November 30) business
is 25 per cent ahead of the same
quarter of last year while the
month of January alone is 331—3,
per cent ahead of January of 1940, l
Lauber said.
The increased business comesl
from general up trends in the
sales of all the numerous pro-i|

scattered like shrapnel when it
hit and the salt water spray flew
100 feet into the air.

Shelton Goes To Port
Townsend Tonight
Refusing to quit when things
went bad, the Pantorium Pirates
of Shelton picked themselves off
the floor to hand the Sons of Nor-
way of Poulst a 38 to 32 knock-
out in the first round of the A.
A.U. sub-district elimination Fri-
day night at Poulsbo.
The victory sent the Pirates in-
to the second round of the elim-
ina’tions against Port Townsend
tonight at Port Townsend with
the winner of that game meeting
Renton Friday night on the home
floor of the Shelton-Port Town-
send victor.
The Pirates showed their comb
age at Poulsbo by coming from
behind to snatch the verdict in a
game which looked like it was all
sewed up for the Norwegians 'at
the opening of the third quarter.
After the two clubs had finish-
ed the first half in 3. 19-1111 dead-
lock, Poulst came out for the
second period like it was going
to make short work of the Pi-
rates, and when the Sons flipped
-lll four baskets in the first four
minutes while the Pirates got only
a solitary foul shot it looked like
curtains for the Sheltonians.
, But Bill Levett and Bill Somers
fired a couple of true ones, Pat
Smith added a basket and a free
toss, and Bill McComb nipped the
threads with a beauty which sent
the Pirates out in front at the
third quarter rest period, 29 to
28. From that point on the Pirates
never were worse than even with
the Norwegians, but with three
minutes to go the Shelton edge

was only 34—32 and it was still
anybody‘s game until Bill Tay—
lor connected from far out to
ease the situation, then Bill Lev-
ett picked a missed setup off the
rim and dumped it through with
the clincher in the last minute to
end a spine-ticklcr.
Both teams Were pressing hand
and it showed in their erratic
shooting. but the Pirates played
the better defensive ball and were
a shade steadier than their Nor-
wegian rivals. ,
The defensive work of Somers
and Taylor was outstanding while
Taylor and Levett were the only
Pirates who were up to par on
offense.
