j Jimmy Walker and Tom Mooney
MAYOR JIMMY WALKER'S trip to California to inter
cede for Tom Mooney looks much like a publicity stunt
for the New York mayor. Jimmy seems to be most anxious
"for excuses to keep out of the city he is supposed to gov
jgrn. Part of the time he is at a desert resort in Southern
California, part of the time he is in Eurooe for the baths.
Now after reaching home he waits but a 'ew weeks before
grabbing his bags and starting outto California to tell
Got. Ralph what he ought to do.
What the California governor will do is up to that gen
tleman liimself. But we would like to make his speech for
him. We would suggest that the debonair Jimmy wash the
shirts in New York city's politics before coming west to
purge California. We'd ask him to explain how prominent
officials are able on meagre salaries to bank hundreds of
thousands of dollars. He might tell what Tammany hall is
doing to aid (?) the efforts of Lawyer Seabury in investi
gating the corruption which is showing up in official circles
in :New York City.
! What is Jimmy so nervous about himself? Why does he
jump like a flea from Hollywood to Carlsbad? Why not stick
to the job in Gotham and turn a hand at giving that city
an honest administration?
Tom Mooney may deserve release from San Quentin.
For our part if he is guilty he has suffered longer confine
ment than the average men who commits a murder; and
since there is a widespread doubt of his guilt we think it
would be all right to give him release through pardon. But
we do not think that Jimmy Walker knew much of anything
about the facts in the case, that his trip is chiefly a publicity
atunt, and that he will simply rehearse arguments which
have long before been related, without unfolding any "new
angle. .
International Visitation
PREMIER LAVAL is back home and counts his trip to
America a success, evidently thinking he has impressed
the French viewpoint on people on this side of the water. His
speech in the chamber of deputies shows rather a relentless
, attitude toward Germany. He reiterates the theme-song of
French post-war politics when he declaims no cut in repar
ations, without corresDondine cut in war debts. Not much
hope there, chiefly because of the stiff-necked attitude.
Now Premier Grandi goes back to Italy, and counts his
trip a success. What basis he has for optimism is not known
for Pres. Hoover has been reticent about his conversations
with each of his international visitors. Perhaps the parting
statements are but the gracious expressions of those who
have enjoyed our hospitality. We do not think any of these
foreign premiers have gotten away with any of the White
House prate, or the country's pledges.
The European situation, politically speaking, seems back
about where it was after this visitation and conferences
over the tea-cups. Meantime some of the economists and
bankers .have been working, and time has been working. And
there have been some indications that the critical conditions
of mid-summer have been partly ameliorated, so that when
Feb. 1st comes round the German position so far as its short
term obligations are concerned will be strengthened.
The United States is glad to have the notables of Europe
come over for tea and wafers. We are sociable. And we
want to cooperate in easing up the strain f tilings. But the
IT. S. A. cant be the goat and bear all the losses of all the
nations in the late war.

The number, of deaths front
heart disease in this country hat
Increased fit per cent within the
past Z9 years.
This statement
ia not a pleas
ing one, but it
warrants seri
ous considera
tion. When to use
the term "heart
disease, we re
fer to that con
dition in which
the power of
the heart is def
initely impair-
M Thia maw
Dr. CoDelaad occur from one
of a great many things.
The most common form of heart
disease is that due to infection.
The infection travels through the
body by way of the blood stream.
It reaches the inside of the heart
and locates there. Then follows a
condition that seriously interferes
with the normal action of the
heart.
The heart is divided into four
chambers; two upper and two low
er chambers. The upper chambers
are spoken ef as "auricles," the
left and right auricles: the lower
chambers are the "ventricles," the
right and left ventricles.
Between the left auricle and
the left ventricle is a valve called
the ."mitral valve." In heart dis
ease It Is this valve that Is most
commonly affected. It la In par
ticular danger of attack in cases
of acute rheumatic fever.
When the mltrol valve is in
volved, there is an interference
with Its normal working. In con
sequence, the blood Is permitted
to leak through. This is the rea
son why this trouble is spoken of
as a "leaking heart." The doctors
refer to It as "mitral heart dls
ease. When such a condition exists, it
produces a "murmur." This may
be heard by the physician who lis
tens through a stethoscope applied
to the heart. Ia a mild form of
heart trouble the murmur is of no
particular significance.
In the advanced form, as a re
sult of the changed function due
to the impaired valve, the heart
enlarges. As it increases in size, it
does not do its work' as well. In a
more pronounced case, where
there are impaired valvular ac
tion, enlarged heart and weak
muscle, there is a sluggish action,
with the result that the blood is
not passed on through the body as
snouia be.
In such individuals there is usu
ally a shortness of breath, the face
Is pale and the lips do not have
the normal reddish color but often
appear bluish A very common
symptom is swelling of the feet.
There are other valves, of
course, not as frequently Involved
as the mitral.
-Another form of heart disease
where there is no defect of the
valves, is spoken of as "myocard
itis. The myocardium is the mus
cle of the heart. Thia muscle may
become badly weakened from
overstrain, lack of nourishment or
physical disease. The action of the
heart depends entirely upon the"
strength and tone of this muscle.
Supplying the heart are numer
ous blood vessels which may be
come diseased, like any other
blood vessels in the body. A com
mon form of disease Is hardening
of the vessels, causing the condi
tion known as "arterio-sclerosls"
of the heart. This is rarely found
in youth but Is a sign of uncoming
age. -
Unfortunately, most people be
come alarmed when they are told
they have heart disease. Yet the
records show that many people,
with heart disease live to a good
old age. They are sure to do so if
they realize their shortcomings
and lire accordingly.
Quiet life, abundant rest, and
work that is not fatiguing, are im
perative. Periodic examinations by
the doctor should be the rule.
Where advised, rest in bed should
not be considered an ordeal, but
a way to health and long life.

"Acres of diamonds:'
S
The reader is no doubt famil
iar with the famous lecture of
Russell ConwelL delivered thous
ands of times, the proceeds of
which, running into hundreds of
thousands, went to charitable and
educational work. "Acres of Dia
monds" waa the subject.
' -
The story was that of a man
in South Africa who yearned tor
great wealth and traveled the
world over seeking to satisfy his
ambition and came back to the
farm where h was born, poorer
than when he left it. Then he
found on the home farm "acres
of diamonds" rendering him rich
beyond his early dreams. Conwell
applied the lesson eloquently in
his lecture to many opportunities
that lie all about us, giving num
erous illustrations.
a
He ranged the world and
searched the pages of history tor
the high points of his appealing
and glamorful story. He might
have extended bis illustrations
indefinitely. The Mayo .brothers
in Rochester, Minn., have built a
city on their father'a farm; now
the world center for medical re
search. P. G. Banting, discoverer
of insulin, was a poor farm boy
of Canada. Edison got his first
inspirations while a peanut
'butcher" boy on the train. West-
lnghouse was called a "damned
fool" by one of the first railroad
presidents to whom he sought to
explain his idea of the air brake.
The list is long. It contains the
names written large on the en
during scroll of fame of most
men who left the beaten track
and developed new Ideas in the
realms of science and religion
who dreamed dreams and saw
visions of better things for their
own and succeeding generations.
The writer has long contended
that "acres of diamonds" exist in
Oregon, in the Willamette val
ley. In the Salem district, in
greater profusion and promise
thin elsewhere In all the wide
world: that this comes from our
fortuitious -combination of soil,
sunshine and showers, and that
this is the land of diversity, the
country of opportunity.

Time was. not so long ago. as
any fnll grown man can recall,
when It was generally held that
our section was not well adapted
to poultry breeding. It was too
damp, said the local oracle, as he
stroked his beard and wagged
his head, between expectorations
of tobacco juice.
S
Now it is or ought to be com
mon knowledge that we "breed
here the most highly productive
and vigorous fowls known to all
poaKrydom, and that in over
head costs we are far below the
mean level of competition; fa a
distinctive class.

J. A. Hanson waa a student at
the Oregon Agricultural college.
He worked with the famous Prof.
James Drydeev in charge of the
poultry department there the
first man in the World to produce
a zoo-egg nanj a White Leghorn.

About 15 years ago. Mr. Han
son commenced poultry breeding
"on bis own", having secured a
four acre tracts about a mile west
of Corvallis. He has now SO acres

Mr. Hanson, tor three straight
years, has won first place hi the
10 en pen International laying
contest at Storrs, Connecticut,
with his Whits Leghorns. Last
year, and this year, every indi
vidual hen delivered over 199

v, N
Mr. Hanson has worked out
unique methods and rules of his
own; haa departed in numerous-
ways from the beaten track, after
original experimentation. He has
developed a Leghorn strain that
is bigger than the average, and
that produces larger and more
nearly 100 per cent white eggs.
He has raised the average weight
of cockerels from five pounds to
seven to seven and a half pounds,
and to five and six pounds for
hens. He has done this (which is
distinctive) without crossing
from a pure strain.
He haa a 40x2 Whita

His plant runs ll months in
the year. It is conducted on strict
business lines, like the most mod
ern factory. He has a large force
oi neipera, a bookkeeper, sten
ographer, etc., and he is one of
the busiest- men in Oregon. His
home farm is a little city in ap
pearance, and a busy one. Just,
now, his baby chicks and ears
and breeding stock are colnx
mostly to California. Florida, and
to other southern states.
s
He mixes his own feeds: is a
large buyer In the market of
grains, raising his own green
feeds. He makes constant net
profits; sella cockerels at $2S to
sioo each, and pens proportion

high class customers what they
demand that he has built a brick
house for each of his prize pens
of a year and two years ago. and
is erecting a similar one for this

"I don't." he replied, "expect

Although why," he went on,
"they should be as strong as they

son?" he added. Interrogatively.
Fanchon uodded. Had her life
depended upon it she could not
prevent the swift veiling of her
eyes, the hot tide of color, rising.'
"Ah!" said Tony and that was
alL He continued, "I would like
very much to to meet Mrs. Car
stairs. I understand that introduc
tions from her "
"Tony," she cried desperately,
"what is it you wish me to do?"
"Very little." he assured her,
"merely to permit Ceeare GUli to
call upon you ana your aunt -as
a very old friend has a right
to do. You met me." he reminded
her, "let us say, ia Hawaii. Or,
if you like, further back in your
interesting paL"
"That is impossible," she told
him, "to lend myself to such a
deception is out of the question."
"There used to be an old say
ing," he -remarked, "which I
learned in school. A proverb per
haps. Or from the Bible. Some
thing about straining at a gnat
and "swallowing a camel."
She asked frantically,
"And if 1 refuse? Oh. don't sit
there, smiling, and . . . quoting
proverbs! Tell me, frankly, if I
refuse?"
He answered amiably.
"Then I shall be forced te in
trude upon Mrs. Carstairs with
out an Introduction and explain
myself, to some extent, and ex
plain you . . ..quite fully."
She said scornfully,
"Your word against mine? You
have no proof. Or If you have. It
Is the sort of proof which would
place you, yourself, in the hands
of the police."
"I think." he told her. with a
certain deadly courtesy, "that
you don't mean that. Or haven't
thought ahead. For word of her
niece, Mra. Carstairs might be
quite willing to keep my presence
in New York from San Francisco
headquarters."
Fanchon said, fighting for time.
"But Evelyn out there in an
institution!"
"She isn't out there." he ttAA
her gently, "she Is here with me.
I was permitted to bring her here.

"What do you mean?" asked
Fanchon frantically.
'There is Just a chance of her

wits. A very faint chance. There
Is something at the base of the
brain, an abscess, I understand.
In all events, some pressure. It Is
a dangerous operation, and when

me that the best brain specialist,
the best brain surgeon, was in

not consulted him. Perhaps X nev

Fanchon said, slowly:
"You must. I must."
"Not so fast ... It is one
chance In a thousand. She might,
she is very likely to, die under
the operation. Better play the
game my way. Let me send in
Cesare Gilll's card to you. I ask
nothing more."
"But what is your game?" she
demanded, desolately.
"Of that." he smiled, I am not
so sure. But I am sure that un

suddenly. "Of course, strangers

She said, desperately:
"No . . . no. . . not that!" Then,
pulling herself together, she
thought, I must. I must go
through with It Part, I suppose,
of my punishment. She said,
aloud: "Yes, Tony . . ."
He looked at her and his dark
eyes flickered. He shrugged and
said:
"No, I have changed my mind.
Another time, perhaps."
She rose to her feet It was
growing late. She must get back
as soon as possible.
"Have ypu decided?" he asked
her.
There was no way out. She aaid
faintly:
"Very well."
There was a dark flash of tri
umph In the eyes holding her
own. He said:
Thank you." And bowed, with
a stilted, formal courtesy.
"When?" she asked, dimly.
"Let me see. I must, he look

shall come again."
He took her to the door, open

watched her down the steps.
When she had walked away from
the house, he laughed shortly and
turned indoors again.
