Since the Pittsburgh Pirates ob tained Lloyd Waner at bargain rales chiefly on brother Paul's recommendation, major league teams have been scanning the fam ily connections of other stars. This research seems to have led to the Yanket-H signing Nick Moore, on the advice of his older brother, Wiley, whose good right arm had as much to do with the Hugmen's victory last year as any other fac tor. Nick is also a right-handed pitch-. He lias been working in semi- professional circles of Texas and Oklahoma where the Waners got their start along (lie road to fame. The story of Wiley's acquisition by the Yankees Is a historic piece of baseball lore.

He won something like 30 games in 1926 In the "Sully" league but was supposed to be a Ulg old for the majors. The scouts passed him up but not Ed Harrow, the eagle-eyed business mentor of the Yanks. "Any mun who can win .19 games in any league Is worth a tryout," said Harrow. Wiley got his trial and led the American league pitchers for 1027. So Harrow's pronouncement has become baseball policy.

The secret is now out. Jack Dempsey, tho New York Sun discovers, has bought a machine of the treadmill typo for Indoor exercise that will take the place of road work.

Stewart of Umpqua Post of the American Legion, who introduced tho speakers presenting the proposition on behalf of the post Guy Cordon, chairman of the aviation committee of Umpqua Post, spoke briefly on the subject. He pointed out that it is tho cities along tho lines of transnortntion that advance.

Some towns refused to meet tho requests of the railroads and as a result they furnish an example of the lack of foreslghted-ness. The same the speaker said, prevails wllh regard to aviation.

S. department of commerco and others whose knowledge of nvlntlon development mado their opinions important to tho committee in itfi senrch for a suitable field.

After carefully inspecting slto wlthki roach of the clly, he said, the field selected by tho post for consldorntion by (he city was tho only one that met every requirement and this field, If developed, offers a tract that will meet every need of aviation for the future.

Roseburg, he said, has in the past been lax in grasping opportunity and has, as a result, seen many Important Industries slip away mat tne city snouiu nave obtained. This Is another opportunity of extreme importance, he said. and is one that the city should grasp at once. Dr.

Stewart, commenting on the talks, called attention to the fact that many of the big cities of the country are seeing the need for suitable aviation fields and the benefits to be received and are spending millions of dollars to buy and equip fields. San Francisco, he said, has advised the aviators to decide what they need in the way of a field and the city will pay for it and it will cost millions. New York is spending ten million dol lars for a field. Roseburg is bo sit- can bo procured at a very small cost. The meeting was thrown open for a general discussion, which had to be halted it ran over the time for adjournment.

John Ewell, who operates Camp View, stated that while his property is outside the city limits he is perfectly willing to have it assessed on the same basis as city proper ly in connection with the bond is sue and will pay his share of tho tax the same as the citv residents.

Mrs. Hittta says she was a school mate of Meek and worked with him recently In an express office In the Oregon city.

After Gibson had been confronted hy Mrs. Butts and denied knowing her, she said to Chief Lafortune: That's John Meek. I know him. I went to school with him and I ought io know. If Is is not him it Is his twin brother." Meek has no twin brother.

The man answers every detailed description nt Meek sent from Klamath Falls. Meek has been sought since January 2, when Ansil was slain.

F. Thibodeau of the U. S. but who makes his I grand headquarters at Detroit. 1 Instead of there being an over- nlus of eggs being produced in the I Pacific slope states, and in the1 country generally, this noted au-; thorlty says that the demand is, growing even faster than the sup-; plv, at least for the Pacific slope offerings.

Mr. Thibodeau Bays that Pacific' coast eggs have the edge of the; demand In the bit? Eastern mar-! kets simply because of sheer qual-' ity. Even Ilostoi: bs surrendered; to the Pacific-slope white egg. For! years Boston has been known as I the one big city of the country that not only admired the brown egs most, but was willing to pay a premium for it over what white' egps were selling at. Today Hos-j ton's surrender to the whit egg is; complete, and an increasing BUp-ply will yearly move in that trade.

"Superiority of the Pacific coast egg," savs Mr. Thibodeau, who was a Portland visitor this week,) awaiting the opening of the con-i ventlon In a northern city, "Is due 0 the Tact that here egg produc-i ion Is a real business. In the East eggs are merely a by-product. The Paclfle slope egg Is uniform In size, color and quality, and that is a big factor In Its sale. In our country eges are good, bad and indifferent.

There is no uniformity. "The Extern markets demand a lighter yolk, and those that pro-! duce this class of stock are able to command the money. Chalk white Is the color of the shell demanded, Instead of cream. Light yolk eges can be produced with proper feed-1 ing. I A few yoars ago New York was really the big market for Western 1 eggs.

Today tho demand Is gain ing from the so-called smaller cities of ihe East and Midwest."

Feb. 10. The yenr 1928 perhaps may become as noteworthy in the religious history of the world for the solution of the "Roman question" ns is the year 1870 (or the fall of the Vatican's temporal power. It is possible that the figure of King Victor Emmanuel II, of that (lay, who transformed the apostolic palace of the Quirinal into the royal residence of the new king of united Italy, may be remembered throughout the centuries as con- trusted tn that nr Premipr Mnssn. lint as one who brought about con ciliation between church and state.

At the beginning of 1927 Pre mier Mussolini, speaking on the "Roman question," said: "It must be concluded and settled by next Easter." Obscure Jesuit Mediator TJnforseon circumstances have prevented this, nothwithstandlng willingness on both sides and the efforts and ability of the chief negotiator, who remains in the dark and Is almost unknown, the Rev. Tacchl-venturl. He Is a Jesuit, a scholar in history and literature. The Rev. Tacchl-Venturl know MussoUnl before the latter assumed office as premier, but their ac quaintance grew very close when Pius IX, a few months after the advent of (he Fasclsta regime, chose him to negotiate the purchase of the ancient library contained In the Chigl Palace, which was about to be bought by the Italian government The present Pope Pius thus resumed a project which he had already submitted to Pope Benedict XV, who did not carry It out because of lack of funds.

The Rev. Tacchl-Venturi went to see the Fasclsta premier, submitted to him the pope's proposal and concluded: "I am Instructed to, ask your excellency for what sum you would be willing to sell the Chlet library to his holiness." The premier responded promptly: "I self nothing to the pope. To uie noiy lamer I present the library." Thus the conversations for the conciliation between church and state began and they could scarcely have started under more favorable auspices.
