"Tetaaas Antitoxin Senue
Fortunately tetanus can be pre

report of the department of health
of the 'city of Now Tork conflnna
this. It states that all victims of an
Injury In which there may be a pos
sibility of tetanus infection should
receive an Injection of 1.000 units of
tetanus antitoxin. In addition, it Is
advised that all deep and jagged
rounds be widely opened and thor

cautions are taken there is tttae

In . case of aeddant, my advice Is
to seek Immediate medical attention.
Never overlook, a. simple and .seem
ingly harmless bruise or break caused
by a firecracker. Burns, poisoning
and Injury can be prevented by
avoiding dangerous explosives. '
Let us have a glorious Fourth, but
let us be sensible about It. I recall

no knowledge of the bidden menace

Market Reporting
fTlHE federal daily market reporting service may look like
JL a needless expense to the general public. Market news
is broadcast so promptly and so accurately by the daily
newspapers, that the federal service may seem to be a du
plication. However in this day of specialty crops - there is
need for daily information about markets and carlot move
ments for the intelligent marketing of perishable crops. The
federal' service is of little added value in the case of the
great staples like wheat; and hogs and cotton and corn. The
value is great however in the miscellaneous crops which now
enter largely into national trade. ;
Take cantelopes for an example. This crop ripens at a
particular season and must be moved to early consumption.
Different districts market at different times, but when the
bulk of the crop comes on there are many districts compet
I ing. The problem then is one of moving cantelopes on an
intelligent oasis so uiai mere wm uc no giut ui iiuir&eu m
one city and a dearth in another part of the country. Mar-
keting associations and concerns in '.. cooperation- with the
federal reporting service keep daily check on cars rolling
and their destination. Thus when danger of a glut appears
. in Louisville or Omaha, shippers divert to other cities.
Other perishable crops are handled the same way; and
many of these specialty crops have proven profitable even
; in times of depression because of the .better marketing sys-
. tem provided. '
Duplication, and unessential material may well be drop
ped from federal reporting. But growers and marketers of
; fruits and vegetables in particular will want the continuance
of the federal xeporting seivice which has come, to be quite
necessary ior their, success. - , , ., , .

The public ltfdolng considerable hollering because the price
of gas has shot up indecent weeks. But they must remember that
six and a half cents of the price are for federal and state taxes.
Even take the price as it is, and deduct the taxes,-deduct the three
cents differential to the retailer, deduct the freight for moving the
crude to the refinery and the gas to the retail outlet, and the
amount left Is probably less than 10 cents a gallon to pay for the
drilling, pumping, and refining. The oil companies are now doubt
less on a profitable basis; but the first four months of the year
their deficits were tremendous.
The whole state of Oregon regrets to see George lu Baker re

He proved one of the ablest mayors of a large city which the coun

the citizens of Portland and of the state. Few men hare such capa
