Campaign Conjectures
II7iTIl only a triflo more
than
three weeks to go, this primary
campaign is a mlglny tame aiTair.
LWiuuately. perhaps, for the gen
eral political good of the state, the
Joseph campaign has been quiet
and gentlemauly. Fortunately, be
cause the possibility of the kind of
a campaign he usually puts on is
what keeps really big men out of
politics.
Tho present status seems to be
that Norblad and Corbelt are the
favorites and the winner is pre
dicted from these two only by
favoritism. In othor words, Norblad
supporters aro Bare of Norblad's
victory und I lie supporters of Cor
belt are positive he will win. Neith
er prediction Is made on a foundn
lion of facts largely because there
are no facts available. What ihe
composite public mind has decided
with respect to the vurious candi
dates, It anything, Is still a mys
tery. Unless something out of the
ordinary happens between now and
election time the mystery will re
uialn unsolved until then.
Some of tho old political heads
who are ardent Hull supporters
liuike an interesting prediction.
They cay that the political pendu
lum which seeniB to have nSw
Bwung widely away from Hall, has
ulready begun Us return swing and
by election time will have reached
the apex of tho upcurve expressed
by a general turning to Hall as the
solution of Ihe question: "Whom
shall I votu for?" While interest
ing, this prediction has no more
clement of fact than the others. It
la probably batted almost entirely
on the hope that such n thing will
occur.
Public imagination uud enthusi
asm jias not been fired by any one
ofjtio candidates which Is Ihe same
lis-ysuylng that there Isn't a really
(jo"od cam pulg ner in the lot.
The Carnival

tlitfpuppoHeU opposition to tills nn-tiuul--
utfiilt' liim melted quietly
away. The fact seems to have been
thufc people who were opposed to
tho .'carnival were opposed not to
the carnival Ideii but to the typo of
show that wits held lust year. Tho
committee which Is w orking on the
i-unilvnl plans for this year Is rep
rcsentutlvo of the entire commun
ity. II contains In fact, representa
tives front every Rervice organiza
tion In tho city. This committee
was selected by tho president of
the chumber of commerce, Maurice
Nenhind, nrtcr n mass meeting of
01'Kiinlzullou representatives voted
unanimously to ito ahead and give
a carnival, specifically asking that
such a carnival be given under the
auspices of the chamber of com
merce. The chamber directors
passed favorably upon the project
und so we have I lie present able
committee fiinctlonliiK under the
direction of Walter Fisher.
A new note appears In the plans
for the festival this year. It Is to
be a great "Dougla County Home

Douglas county will be Invlled to

There is a limit to what the Hewitt and N. Rice,

If this ratio is out or line prices

(Medford Mall Tribune)
For many years the Mail-Tribune
has urged the closing of Itoiriie riv

last the time has arrived to do it
to replace conversation with de
finite arid filial action.
It has been decided to leave the
matter to a vole of the people of
the state, which Is an entirely wise
decision. For, with a constitution
al nniendmeiit adopted, the entire
matter will not only lie taken nut
of politics where It belongs; but
will he definitely settled for all

ended.
This will no doubt be almost as

Like a stork on one leg."
Shadow Sayings.
One day Knarf came running
up in great excitement to 'Mij,
Elor, Hanld and Yam the other
little ' shadow-children with the
turned-about names.
"Do you want to buy some fresh
eggs?" be demanded.
"There they are," He Said.
They gazed at bitn In surprise.
"Fresh eggs!"
"Yes. I've just discovered thou
sands of them. I'm going into the
egg business. If you want to buy
some, I'll tell you where they are."
Now they weren't In the least
anxious to buy, since they never
bothered about buying anying but
ate with their masters and mis
tresses, as all shadows do. Never
theless, they were curious to see
them, so they begged Knarf to
take them where they were, prom
ising to find some customers for
him "if they really are fresh."
"Of course, they're fresh," he
said indignantly. "They were laid
this morning."

MISS PAT
&
By Elcnorc Meherin; Author of "Chickie and Other
Famous Serials
fcHAPTER 42 '
One throbbing moment Pat sat
before the radio. She stared at.
the paper where she had so careful
ly wrlten on five different lines,
with the symbols under each letter,
"SOS Patricia Dawn Grand
Canyon." Would someone pick up, the frnu
'tfc call?- Could aid reach this lost
cyclopean wilderness in time?
"Before sunrise tomorrow, if Ace
made sure of the trail, the two men
would he on their way, taking the
child with them. Long before this
the miracle of the rescue must be
wrought.
Pat knew that she dared not wait.
In a white-fire of realization, she
knew that her life and the little
boy's life would be saved only If she
had courage to take that mad, des
perate leap.
T will," she told herself with the
heart and eyes almost popping
from her body.
She pulled her flying suit and
parachute pack from the chest un
der the cabin seat. Hurry! Ace
might return. She grabbed these
up and without a second thought
went racing across the plateau.
Throbbing and every nerve
screaming with the violence of her
emotion, Pnt stuffed the pack un
der the loose rock at the base of
that great red shaft of sandstone.
No one would find them here. The
two men never came within 100
yards of the place. Why should
they? Nothing here by the abyss.
They'd never dream she might
jump.
For precious moments. Tat rest
ed her hot moist cheeks against
the stone.
"Lord. I forgot the straps to tie
Hilly to me, need food, need a
light."
In a calm that, was the high note
of hysteria, Pat stood srgatn In th
cabin. Her brain whirled' it
flashed with a hundred wild sug
gestions. Peter cut the straps from
the other two parachutes, the men
mt'iht try to jump after her. Why.
Slim wouldn't even trust the child
one hour to her care. Afraid she
might run away with him spoil
their plans now In the moment of
triumph. He was precious this
kidnaped boy. They must deliver
him safely to that other fellow
before they could collect the
"dough."
Fear that she might In some way
cheat them wan Sttm's only reason
for taking Billy on that difficult
trail to the spring. Her first dark
flurm passed. Pat knew , this.
They'd not care If she billed her
pelf; give a careless shrug, per
bans, if she leaped alone.
But If she snatched tho child
from them, robbed them of the
booty they were to receive, they'd
track her to the depths of hell.
Slim would dare that jump. He'd
dare anything.
Then cautiously, like a practiced
thief. Pat went through tho prnvls
Iwits. take as much as she could
noKsibly cram Into the pockets of
her flying suit; take It from the
bottom and set the things bark In
exnet order. They must"'! grow
susptelous before she made her
getaway.

cans of deviled meat, two cans of

t?;ee sunplles would keep them ,
until the door of, that blessed white
Urmhome. settled down then iu '

With ecstasy Pat envisioned her
self and her small companion arriv
them! Why, there aren't more than

rior couldul help remarking.

eggB.' ' Knart replied as he led
urem past ine garden, under tue
lence, around the maple uee lo
tue edge 01 the pond. He po.nted
to the burtace or tne water, where
tue reeas and cai-ialls irom last
jear were siill sucking out in
mams mat were just beginning to
tum green again, "iueie tney
are," lie said, "as many dozens as
you want."
They weren't hen's eggs. Oh no!
Each egg was as big as the end of
a pencu with a dark spot In the
center. Instead of shells they were
covered with jelly almoBt the same
color as the water. They were at
tached to eath other. In long
strings like a chain.
"What kind of eggs are they?"
they all asked.
"Duck-eggs. Who else would lay
eggs in the water?"
"But where are tho shells?" MIJ
wanted to know.
"Shells melt In the water and
turn Into jelly. Everybody knows
that. That only makes them bet
ter, for you can make jelly-omelets
out of them
without using any I
jelly."
This certainly seemed a great
advantage. Then, too, the fact
that they had no shells made it
quite impossible for them to break,
which was a good thing in eggs
Still
they were not so sure about
their being duck-eggs. Somehow 11
seemed to them, that duck-eggs
weren't laid In water.
"And now you must help me to
sell them," said Knarf, keeping
them to their promise.
Who could they sell them to?
They didn't know, especially as
they couldn't get them out of the
water since they were so slippery
that they always slipped back.
Down the road they saw Mrs.
Next-Door-Neighbor going to mar
ket with a large egg-basket on her
arm and they hurried after her.
"We'll make her buy them," said

threshold in radiant exhaustion.
Carefully she set the cabin to
rights, tied her provisions and the
straps that would bind the boy to
her in her sweater and started
again for the dizzying overhang

Her hands were almost without
power; they were clammy with ap

hardtack and cans in the pockets'

Now everything was ready. Now
all she needed was to await Billy's
return; seize the first chance to
wander off here with him. Once
behind these irregular rock piles,
yank on the flying suit, blindfold
the litle trusting youngster; strap
the pack to her back, and the boy
tight to her chest. All she needed
now was the time for this. And the
heart to use it the high unfalter

She walked out on the rock and
for a split second glanced down the
sheer, abysmal precipice.
She would open the parachute

ready? Sometimes a 'chute does

But If she spread It nil open he

just as she plunged.
"No! Foolish to open It," she
thought, stifled with the image of

She walked back toward the
plane. She paused every few feet,
and with vast, strained errort drew
air into her lungs. This kept her
from fainting; this kept her heart
from suffocating. She could her

Suddenly she felt her strength
collapse; felt her expanding heart

her head spinning around, very

She got into the cabin, got water
and drank greedily. Cooler now,
steadier now.
If they would only return; only

Suddenly she sprang to her feet.
Ace was coming across the stony
levels. He saw Pat and waved.
As he drew near, she perceived
his hot swaggering excitement. His
i face steamed, and his large, warm
black eyes accosted her boldly.
"Whersh Slim?"
"Gone for water."
Ace gave a thick, loudly joyous
laugh and swept an arm about Pat:
"Thash good sweetie thash

Horseshoes everywhere. Ha ha
horseshoes on the trail honesh "
"You found a trail out?" Pat
asked, standing quiet ignoring
his hot, pressing embrace. Any
moment Slim would return little

she could.
Ace was drunk. He'd taken &

from his pocket and with a leer
offered it to Pat.
"Lishen, lil one. You're all right.

"Whero will you hand Billy

"Queer egg named Dum-dum
