True Farm Relief
SPAIN, the papers say, is preparing to expand its acreage
of cotton. It is a warm country; perhaps it can grow a
great deal of cotton, enough to supply its own needs with
some for export. Take this in conjunction with America's
program of enforced curtailment of cotton production and
what may be the outcome? The United States may lose its
great export market for cotton. How can a country any more
than an individual grow wealthy by losing its markets, by
dropping its customers? For some other country will step in
and get the business. This was demonstrated when Cuba cur
tailed her sugar production, and Java got the business;
: when Britain reduced rubber production in the far east ; and
the Dutch East Indies picked up the business; when Brazil
-adopted a valorization plan for coffee, and Colombia and
Central America answered by increasing production.
There is one formula for farm relief which has not been
tried : that is the expansion of our export markets. How may
.we expand our export markets? By increasing our purchases
abroad. This may not be done simply by slashing the tariff,
although that is an essential ; but through the efforts at rec
iprocity such as Pres. Roosevelt and Secretary Hull are pro
posing. ' But, it is replied, the increase of imports will put our
own manufacturers out of business. Not, if the matter is
handled intelligently. For the increased domestic demand
would be vastly greater than the amount of the imports. We
wish to quote in this connection from the statement of Dr.
Benjamin M. Anderson, jr., economist of Chase National
bank, to the commission of inquiry on our national policy in
international economic relations.
"Manufacturing activity is low. while agricultural produc
tion and raw material production, apart from mining, goes on on
a large scale. The low prices received by farmers and producers
of raw materials do not, however, enable them to buy even the
relatively scant output of the factories at prevailing prices in
adequate volume, and are far from being enough to enable them
to consume the output of which the factories are capable. Equi
librium could be quickly restored by a restoration of the foreign
market for our excess farm products, our excess raw materials,
giving the farmers and other producers of raw materials good
prices once more which would enable them to buy vastly greater
quantities of manufactured goods which, in turn, would permit
a great expansion of manufacturing.
"There are many who recognize this but who, none the less,
fear that the imports of manufactured goods which are needed to
make possible the exports of agricultural products would force
apon the factories themselves a painful readjustment. There are
many men who, fearing this, none the less propose to go on with
the restoration of the export trade for agriculture by the accept
ance of imports of manufactures, feeling that it is a matter of
Justice to farmers to do it, and feeling that in the long run it will
be good for the country, but who still fear that what is gained for
the farmers will, for a time at least, be taken away from the
manufacturers.
"I do not share these fears. I believe that both farmers and
manufacturers would gain enormously by the immense expansion
of total production in the United States, by the immense growth
in employment and the immense increase in the utilization of
plant and equipment in manufacturing which the restoration of
equilibrium would Involve.
- "This does not mean that all trade barriers should be swept
away. We should not go so far in our tariff reduction as to swing
the pendulum to an opposite extreme, in which American manu
facturing might be the overdone thing and agriculture be set to
expanding once more. But we should swing the pendulum from
the extreme left adequately and vigorously to dead center, so
that we are receiving sufficient volume of widely diversified
manufacturers to make a really adequate foreign market for the
10 of our cotton, 40 of our lard and the numerous other
high percentages of agricultural and other export commodities
which we need to get out. Such a reduction would still leave us
the protective tariff. What is called for Is not free trade but
moderate protection."
Americans and Books
WRITING in the New Republic Malcolm Cowley is en
deavoring to stimulate public interest in reading of
books, with particular reference to neglected books, those
off the list of the "six best sellers" and not included in offer
ings of "book-of-the-month club" or .the "literary guild".
Among recent publications Mr. Cowley lists several which
merit more general reading than they have received ; among
them: "Miss Lonely Hearts" by Nathaniel West; "Collected
Poems" by Hart Crane ; and Katherine Anne Porter's "Flow
erini? Judas". We must confess ourselves to not having heard
of them.
Americans are too much given to rushing to do much
book-reading. True, statistics of library withdrawals offer
amazing totals; but when the totals are divided among the
number of literates the per capita "consumption" is small.
Americans are not the book-buyers that other people are.
London papers for example publish many pages of book
news accompanied by large display advertisements of book
sellers and publishers. Here few books are advertised in
daily papers. Magazines, a few of the more select, run book
notices and ads ; but book sales are small in proportion to the
. literacy of the population and the intellectual level of the
people under our system of free schools.
Our people do their reading more in capsules. They read
the newspapers. Magazines have a big circulation. With other
appeals of motoring, movies, bridge, sports, we simply do
not take time to enjoy the treasures of literature, past or
present. Occasionally there is a work which will receive in
stant acclaim and prove a "best seller"; for in reading as in
voting, our people are swayed by the mass mind, and word of
a popular book starts a traffic jam in its direction, while
others, perhaps more worthy, are neglected because they fail
ed to get just the right cliche when first brought out.
Tastes change of course ; and under the system of great
er leisure perhaps the reading of books may come into its
own in this country. And there is no doubt, from the fig
ures given by the libraries, of the increased demand for
books for reading during the years of business stalemate.
Some low bids were submitted tor carrying: airmail yesterday.
Bat they ought to be lower than 1930 for aviation has made tremend
ous -strides since then and costs are very much lower. Under the old

Health

ABDOMINAL PAIN is a symptom
too frequently disregarded. Yet. this
is a sign that doctors consider sig
nificant. They always inquire about
it when examln-
i n g a patient
Most of us are
inclined to dis
miss this symp
tom, regarding it
merely as the re
sult of gas or
some trifling di
gestive disturb
ance. 'A perfect ly

ed as a definite
warning that
Dr. Copeland
something Is wrong. It should never
be disregarded. Negligence may
lead to disaster.
Don't Rely on Home Remedies
Abdominal pain accompanies ap
pendicitis, gall stone colic, kidney
stone, and ulcer of the stomach, aa
welt as inflammation of the gall blad
der, liver, stomach or Intestine. In
most instances, the pain la of a
chronic nature acd appears at more
or less regular Intervals. At first. It
may appear as something lnsig-nifi-cant
But when it Is neglected. Its
true meaning will be made clear but
often only after serious damage has
been done.
I want to warn you against neglect
of abdominal pain. Thousands of
lives are lost every year because of
carelessness In determining Its real
cause. Too often the sufferer resorts
to home remedies, or is advised by a
well meaning friend that what be
needs Is a good doe of castor oil or
calomel.
In their place these may be excel
lent remedies. But they should never
be used for the cure of abdominal
pain unless prescribed by a physi
cian. No doubt you will be surprised
to learn that many fatalities result
from the use of castor oil when taken
for the relief of abdominal pain
caused by acute appendicitis. It is
positively dangerous to take a strong
cathartic when the appendix or in
testine Is inflamed. This unwise pro
cedure aggravates the trouble and
may even lead to a rapture of the
appendix.
Heed Nature's Warning
In what I have said, 1 do not mean
to imply, of course, that In every
instance abdominal pain ts a sign of
some serious disturbance. But It is
nature's way of warning you that
something la wrong. Its presence
should send you to your physician to
determine the cause.
It majf be due to nothing worse
than a dietary indiscretion, or im
proper eating, habits. Faulty bowel
elimination or some other equally
simple disorder may cause It but in
that case the trouble Is quickly rem
edied. Do not trust to luck or blindly re
sort to treatment. The cause can
only be determined by a complete
physical examination. It may be
necessary to resort to special testa
and the X-ray. You will be well re
paid for this trouble and expense and
be assured of the true state of your
health. To neglect this precaution
may be a grave oversight.

to Get at the Bottom
Bits for Breakfast
By R. J. HENDRICKS
Many letters come to
desk of the Bits man:
Many, and a constantly increas
ing number, of letters come to the
desk of the Bits man. An attempt
is made to answer most of them,
in one way or another. Three sam
ples are cited in what follows:
m . S
Lucy E. Doughty of Bay City,
Oregon, R. F. D. 1, wrote to the
secretary of Willamette univer
sity, and her letter was relayed
to this desk. It reads in Dart:
"We are planning here to have
a little anniversary meeting in
our church. Our first minister was
named John Howard. He came in
1866 and remained three years. I
wrote the editor of the Pacific
Christian Advocate for a sketch of
the life of this man, but nothing
was known there, so I could get
nothing but remembrances from
one of his surviving converts.
However, today I learned bv
chance that there was a John
Howard in the party that came
with Hall J. Kelley to Oregon, and
also that a man of the same name
was one of the Americans at the
Champoeg 'wolf meetine.' Can
you inform me if these three John
Howards are one and the same
man?
"Our minister has written in
the old record book that he was
'taken into the conference' dur
ing his pastorate here, so he could
not have been sent as a mission
ary from the east, h lit ha TTllirht
have been converted here, and en
tered upon the life of a Methodist
minister in the wilderness."

not have been the John Howard of
whom you are inquiring. But he
was the John Howard who was at
the Champoeg meeting of May 2,
1843, and his name is (properly)
on the monument at Champoeg
state park. The official record of
that meeting has this paragraph:
mr. jonn nowara was chosen as
major.' It was an empty honor, as
no military organixation was pro
vided for. There is no record that
John Howard was at the 'wolf
meeting,' whlchwas at the Jospnh
Gervais house, the first Monday
iu marca, lais. no one has made
any further record of that John
Howard. There was no John How-
i . . . ..
aru among ine early missionaries.
uui mere was a Rev. John
Howard in the 1846 covered wa
gon immigration and he is evi-
aentiy the man you have in mind.
The Pacific Christian Advocate
printed the two following para-
grapns :
" 'Mrs. Cynthia Howard was
born in Kentucky Oct. 9, 1810, re
moved early in life to Illinois, and
was married In 1828 to R. R.
Howard, and with him crossed the
plains and settled in Oregon City,
where she resided the remainder
of her life. She was the mother of
10 children, two of whom were
Methodist ministers. She died
Aug. 20. 1877.'
" 'Rev. John Howard, son of
K. K. and Cynthia Howard, mar
ried Miss Jane E. Wingfield.
daughter of J. T. Wingfield, in
November, 1854. She was born in
Missouri July 19, 1840, and died
Jan. l, 1876, leaving four chil
dren.' "
s
The Bits man has a faint recol
lection of traditions concerning a
Rev. John Howard preaching in
the sixties in Polk and Yamhill
counties. The Bits man's mother
was Mary Jane Sherwood, pioneer
of those counties,' and she had a
sister named Cynthia Sherwood,
who married a Harvey. It is pos
sible that she was named for Cyn-'
thia Howard, mother of Rev. John
Howard. But this is only tradi
tional, and faintly so. Perhaps.

some reader can give to the Bits
man the additional facts Mrs.
Doughty is seeking, to be relayed
to ner.
s s
Another letter, lust received
comes from a man in Illinois who
nas been readmg what the Bits
man hag written lately about our
nax inausiry. He wants more par
ticulars. Especially, he wants to
know if there is an oneninc for a
good, honest organizer who may
am in pushing our flax and linen
industries forward ranldlv.
A third letter, only a few dam
old, wants from the Bits man
some articles on early Oregon his
tory.
The answers:
There is opportunity for an or
ganlzer of our flax and linen in
austnes. But he would need ona
lifications like these: He would
have to be able to convince' our
people of his knowledge, his abil
ity and his honesty, and he would
have to be a wizard. No ordinary
stranger could come up to these
specifications. He would have to
be extraordinary.
There is a letter dated April 4
on the Bits man's desk from our
Congressman James W. Mott. in
which he expresses the belief that
the earmarked money for our flax
and linen industries will be avail
able when the next P. W. A. ap
propriation is made, which will
be soon. News of the same kind
from Vancouver, Wash., and Ore
gon City, Oregon, has been filter
ing through, in press dispatches.
S S V
If this earmarked money is
made available, and through the
P. W. A., projects will no doubt
be invited and, the writer an
ticipates, they will have to hold
water.
As has been said and repeated
in this column, there will not be
flax seed available for much more
than 10,000 extra acres of flax in
1935, and this would not supply
more than two extra plants as
large as the one at the Oregon
state prison; and smaller ones
would not be sound. By 1936, seed
to produce flax to supply five of
six more such plants might be
available. And plants should be
owned and operated cooperatively,
by the growers.
Thus, a sound set-up, with the
earmarked federal funds, could
not be completed before two
years; not, in fact, fully operative
before the summer of 1937. The
explanation is too long for this ar
ticle. It has been repeatedly made
in this column.
S S
As to the third letter: The Bits
man cannot take the time for such
special articles. This column is
constantly filled with them has
been for five years. The Bits man
has only a 24 hour day, and one
life to live. Every hour is crowd
ed, and will be. The inquirer, or
any other person, is welcome to
use anything printed in this col
umn. Any question on a specific point
of history wiU be answered in thia
column, if of sufficient general in
terest to justify the space.
Let this be repeated: Salem is
certain to become the central
point of the greatest flax rrowinr
and linen manufacturing district
in the world, in good time. This
might come about in a very short
time, under proper federal back
ing, and not a cent of principal or
interest be lost, nor its use need
ed for a great number of years.
The good and sufficient rea
sons: There is not another spot on
the globe surrounded by anything
like SOO.OOO acres of available
fiber flax land, capable of produc

all within trucking distance and
almost within eyeshot of the fac
tories. And there is not a single

A lifted hand enjoined attention ;
and upon the hush that answered ft,
an instant of speechless suspense
stressed by the muffled rumor of en
gines choked down to half -speed or
less, and by a complete cessation of
the slough of water down the side,
the drone of an airplane fell like
long-drawn thunder.
"The mail-plane!" Tesa Boyce
started to her feet. "You mean he's
flying? What came over him all of a
sudden?"
"Does it matter, madame?"
"Why I suppose it doesn't" She
seemed to rrasp for the first time

to wonder. I was surprised, that s
all: it seemed so sudden
"I don't imagine Maurice would
mind my telling you what yon must
surmise for yourself as soon as you
know the name of the other air-passenger."
Lanyard kept close though
covert watch for an inkling of the
woman's ill-dissembled emotion, but
found it quite beyond his fathoming.
What the devil, the man mused. It
couldnt be that she was distressed
by any sentimental feeling. What
then in the name of reason?
"Mademoiselle Crosier, so Maurice
told me, wheedled her mother into
consenting to the adventure; and he
was enterprising enough to decide,
on the spar of the moment, to go

But the Rajah made no articulate
answer. Exasperation had him by
the throat and was visibly shaking
him. He stuttered and thrashed the
air in an attempt to express the un
speakable. And before he could re
find his tongue, one of his suite was
announcing:
"The Captain Sahib."
The tedious time that Lanyard
subsequently spent in limbo was re
lieved by nothing except the atten
tions of a taciturn steward till the
Navarre had made halt at Quaran
tine and gathered way for the short
last lap to her dock. Then, n earing
one end of his new quarters, whose
length he had taken to prowling for
want of a better way to work off
the ferment of pent temper, the man
heard a small noise behind him and
