at the Ashland, Oregon Poatoffice as Second Clam Man Matter
JUDGE THOMAS
The many friends of Judge C. M. Thomas, circuit
judge of the First Judicial District of Oregon, com­
prising Jackson and Josephine counties, are urging
that he accept the appointment to the Federal Bench
at Portland, to snceed the late Judge Charles E. Wol­
verton. No expression has yet been obtained from
Judge Thomas as to lus desire in the m atter; though
.many feel that he would be reluctant to, leave South­
ern Oregon, and the host of friend« he has made here.
It is the contention of those friends who want to
see Judge Thomas prompted, that, lie is the best
qualified man in the state for this important judicial
position, based not only on the fact that he is a very
able jurist, and a man whose integrity is -beyond
question, but upon the further fact that during his
incumbcncv • on the bench in this district,
which is the
#
heaviest individual district in the state from/ the
standpoint of volume of business through the courts,
for one judge to handle, Judge Thomas has displayed
an ability as an “ executive** which lias been nothing
short of amazing to those who realize the enormity
of the task he undertook when he accepted the office
of circuit judge.
A t the time Judge Thomas took office the court
dockets of the two eountios contained in the.neigh-
lxtrhood of two thousand eases, many of which had
remained there untried for years.. Seizing the work
with a determination and ability, only given to those
men who have the full courage of their convictions,
and without fear or favor, this mass of accumulated
cases began to crumble, until today there is not fifty
active eases in the two counties, and no cases that
have been filed for any length of time. Throughout
hi« work Judge Thomas has taken the position that
it became his duty under his oath of.office fd see
that all business in the court was dispatched with
the least possible delay, that the litigent might have
his m atters adjusted promptly and in this undertak­
ing he has had the full co-operation of all attorneys.
In fact, the district bar association has worked with
such harmony, not only between themselves, but with
the court, that tf is admitted throughout the state that
the bar association of the first judicial district is the
best organized, most progressive and strongest dis­
trict bar association in the entire Stfltb.
F o r purely selfish reasons we .do not like to see
Southern Oregon lose Judge Thomas, for he has been
always one of progress, and we would keenly feel his
absence, but we do feel that he has fully earned this
promotion, and that the entire state of Oregon will
greatly benefit by his appointment to the Federal
Bench.

BEHOLD THE CRIMINAL
Recently, so the story runs in the publication
‘‘Safeguarding America Against F ire,” while a for­
est fire raged about his house, a youth of Egg Harbor,
New Jersey, sat in a rocking chair and played his
ukulele, watching tho blaze. Qommataded by the
Mayor to assist the fire fighters, the boy only laugh­
ed, observed that fire fighting was not his business,
and kept on strumming his instrument. He was a r­
rested and fined ten dollars for disorderly conduct.
Suppose, says the Insurance Field, he had l»een

accumulations and other fire hazards, eapnblc at any

HAVE A HEART
A Hindu scientist, by the use of a delicate re­
cording apparatus, dem onstrate for his learned con-
fereres of Great Britain the heart beats of a snap­
dragon.
I t seems to be a logical conclusion that, if snap­
dragons have heart lieats, they must have hearts. A
step further brings one to the conclusion that, if snap­
dragons have hearts, then other plants must likewise
have hearts.
This much having been established what we
should like to know is what kind of a heart docs
poison ivy possess.
SOLVING THE FARM PROBLEM
In four years there has been a jump in Idaho
farm production that is phenomenal.
In 1921, carload shipments over the Union Paci­
fic from the farms of Southern Idaho totaled 151. In
1925, they totaled 1213. They included 434 carloads
of butter, 455 carloads of cheese. 208 carloRds of eggs
and 136 carloads of poultry. It will be noticed that
the shipments were butter or eggs or poultry, rather
than hay or other bulky commodities.
The Idaho farmers have found that to reduce
feed to the higher valuek of dairy nnd poultry pro­
ducts, results in products for which there is readier
demand in the markets.

Leopard’a Compliment
"I have Just received a compli­
ment,” said the Leopard.
“Indeed,” said some of the other
animals in the soo, “and what was
the compliment?”
“What la a compliment?” some
of the others asked, for they did
not know what the word meant.
“A compliment,” said the Leop­
ard proudly and haughtily, “la a
sentence or speech of praise.
“If anyone compliments you, it
means that that person la saying
or has said, fine, praising, compli­
mentary, pleasant, flattering things
about you.

“Oh,” said the animals In their
different laflguages.
“Now," said the ones who ha<fc>
known what the word meant but
wanted to hear about the compli­
ment, “now,” they repeated, “tell
us the compliment”
“I will tell It to you gladly," said
the Leopard, as he paced up and
down his yard.
“We’re glad that you’re glad to
tell It,” said the other animals.
“Pray begin."
“The keeper,” said the Leopard,
“was speaking to a person a few
moments ago.

“You all know what a person Is,

“A creature with two legs and
two arms and who talks a lot of
funny words, and who laughs In a

“Yes, we all know what a per­

“Well,” continued the Leopard,
