WASHINGTON AND " GREGON PREPARE Fighting Local Issnes as Elec- tion Day Nears Seattle, Wash., Oct. 19 (P—Re- publican chieftains in Washington are confident their party’s presiden- tial candidate will profit by their ‘normal” overwhelming majority. but in the neighboring state to the south, Oregon, democratic leaders are pinning hopes to a considerable, if not exceptionally strong, Smith sentiment. Washington republicanism, how- ever, Is experiencing party friction within the state, and the leaders confidence with respect to the na- tional ticket does not extend to the state line-up, in which the nomina- tion of Gov. Roland H. Hartley to succeed himself is said caused widespread resentment and even, in some cases, an opem bolt to the standard of the democratic hope, Scott Bullitt. The democratic vote in Washing- ton is ordinarily so small that pre- cinct election officials sometimes fail to copy the democratic results on the unofficial returns blanks. Even 8mith leaders admit that the New York governor has a microscopically small chance of winning. 1t would take a landslide in the big cities to give Smith Washington's seven elec- toral votes, as in so-called normal | years there are about five republi- cans in the state to one democrat. Nevertheless, the wet-dry ques- tion is a wedge which may split the vote of both parties. Washington went dry before national prohibition and democrats are not banking too much on wet sentiment. Smith fol- lowers, however, point out that in the September primaries candidates who had been endorsed by the state anti-saloon league were squelched, and some political prognosticators estimated that the vote ratio was 60 per cent wet. But it is the fight In their own backyard that has been taking the minds of republicans off the na- tional situation. It began with the election of Governor Hartley four years ago. [First the legislature, then each of the important state elective officers, became involved in a statehouse elimination con- test. Both the governor and his politi- cal enemies intended the Septem- ber primary as a deciding bout to settle the issue. The governor pro- posed an entire slate of elective of- ficlals who he said would work in harmony with him. The opposition backed a “harmony” candidate for governor to oust Hartley. When the election was over things were still muddled, for the voters rejected all the harmony candidates. A vallant effort was made by members of the republican state committee to restore harmony in the _party after the smoke had cleared from the primary battle. The popularity of Hoover with the rank and file of the voters was ex- pected to ald all the candidates, but many of the lead- ers opposed to Governor Hartley were openly advocating a scratch ticket to support Scott Bullitt, the democratic gubernatorial nominee. Smith leaders in the state are pot seeking to tie up democratic | candidates for state offices with the national campaign. C. C. Dill, democrutic senator from Washing- ton, has been given a free hand to fight his own battle for re-election. Dill is a dry and has never shown enthusiasm when Smith's name ‘was mentioned. Republican votes elected him six years ago when he sent: Miles Poindexter, republican, into political retirement as ambas- sador to Peru. Dill's republican opponent this year is Kenneth Mackintosh, court justice, who will give democrat a hard battle. Mackin- tosh has tied up his campaign with the Hoover forces. The republican representatives in congress from Washington expect to be reelected without much of n‘ struggle. In Oregon, though considerable | Smith sentiment oxists, republican generalissimos do not believe the democrats can overcome their tra- ditional majoriily and the general sentiment in favor of Hoover as Oregon's “favorite son.” IT TAKES ALL-BRAN T0 RELIEVE CONSTIPATION More and more people are eating bran for “health’s sake” these days. And it's & fine thing. But not every- realizes whata difference thero is in so-called “brans.” Doctors say it takes 100% bran to supply enough roughage to relieve consti- pation. Part-bran products, at best, can only be partly effective, Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN iz 100% bran. It furnishes roughage in effective quantities—and in the most effective form: cocked and krumbled. It does a work part-bran products cannot hope to equal. Two h_l;lhupoontnll daily—chronic cases, with every meal—are ranteed to relieve oonnipltian.m Serve ALL-BRAN often. With milk or cream—fruits or honey added. Be sure you get genuino Kellogg’s though—in the red-and- green package. Use it in cooking. Sprinkle into soups. ALL-BRAN is sold by all grocers. Served every- where, Made by Kellogg in Battle to hn\ei republican | former state supreme | the | Jt was in Oregon that Hoover spent his boyhood and youthful school days at Newberg. Later he worked for his uncle as a messen- ger boy at Salem, the state capital. There seems to be only one chance that Smith will get Oregon —that is for Multnomah county, which includes Portland, to start a landslide for the New Yorker. Multnomah county has about one-third of the votes in Oregon, fand of these only about one-third are normally democratic. Political experts point out that 8mith would have to hold every democrat jn the county and grab off one out of every three republicans. But not |all the democrats appear to favor their party’s nominee and wet sen- timent among the republicans has not yet crystalized to thaa extent in Smith's favor. Oregon is not clecting a governor this year.

C., Oct. 19.—Ger- many, France or Japan—to which shall 4 man with a bad cold look for help? Ten years ago when one wanted camphor to. check a cold, to frus- trate a moth, to banish a fever blister, there was only one place to get it—Japan. But some years ago chemists learned to make camphor synthetic- ally. After the war German lab- oratories began producing it and ate into Japan's market until the Japanese introduced new economies, enabling them to cut prices. Now news comes from France of still another new synthetic process which may disturb the camphor balance of trade. Of the six mil. lion pounds of pungent camphor im- ported last year a third was bought from chemists’ retorts and two- thirds from crude stills in the depths of Formosan forests. Millilons for Camphor The United States’ camphor bill for the year ending June, 1928, was $2,684.000. “Camphor collecting in Formosa is a hazardous trade,” says a bulle- tin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geo- graphic Society. “All outdoor work; chopping down trees, chipping chips, tending camphor stills—it scems as healthy as lumberjacking. And it would be if the Chinese camphor collectors did not lose their heads. Literally they lose their heads, because the camphor trees grow in the wild Formosa highlands where live the most dangerous of souvenir hunters. Not autographs, not nails from a famous house, not bits of cloth from a fallen airplane; but human heads these savages collect. Row on row of whitened skulls form a frieze under the eves of the pagan temples. It is this skull cult which has led Japan to assign armed military guards over the advanced camphor camps to protet the Chinese laborers. Tree an Evergreen “The camphor tree is an ever- green, but similar in appearance to the linden. Collectors seek only the biggest; trees which are more than fifty years old with fat trunks as thick through as a man is tall. Once the camphor is down, the cutters attack it. Like beavers they gouge at it, using a crook-handled chisel with a curved edge. The cutters burrow into the trunk chip- ping the heart wood until only the bark shell remains. “Meanwhile the chips are placed in a crude retort over boiling water. The camphor vaporizes and passes through & bamboo pipe to a vat cooled by water from a moun- | tain spring. White camphor blocks from which camphor oil drains are produced. The yield is very heavy. One tree of average size will give 6,600 pounds of camphor worth about $5,000. 135,00 Satisfied Customers PRINCETON CLOTHES AreFar Above Ary at the Same Price They outstyle, outwear, outlast any garment pro- duced to sell anywhere near our price—in fact they are frequently in $35 corpany.
