The pretty victim of a ten cent claw hammer in the hands of a jealous woman, was buried at Los Angeles Tuesday, and the press dispatches say the minister spake a few words on gossips and gossiping, the evils there of, and the harvest. It was fitting at the bier of tha departed, for mayhap, some of the audience, paying the last homage, had been relay stations for the whispered scandal, while draped over backyard fences and apartment house bannisters. Hut the minister, It may be years, and it may be forever, ere he again discourses on gossIpB and gossiping, yet it It) a timely topic most anywhere, on any Sabbath. The cruel politicians wont let Charles Hall, who is in agony from a desire to be governor, have a recount of the votes in Klamath county, where he was so well known that even Gen eral White beat him.

It must be plain to nearly everyone that whoever wins, the people of In Incomparable climate and soil con Jackson county will lose. In fact in the last few days the sentiment jaltl0DI- " a Place to live, the valley ... "nil ii .1 -t ,11 from Grants Pass to beyond Ashland against the recall lias been prowing- so rapidly, thut it is probably ieaves little to be desired. true that many (jood people, who originally were for the recall, We are putting water for irrigation would now be grcatlv relieved if the entire performance could be ''TT8 n 6"eat deal of this land ' and the cost of the system and its abandoned, and the community return somehow to the status quo. maintenance will be heavy. How can Rogue River Valley and Prosperity tnte. ,' J ; It must be plain now to all unbiasiid people, that a recall election under any circumstances seldom is desirable '' Whether1 justified or unjustified it is, in plain Kn-rlish, a ini'y. 1'J,h a thing the people of any community with the best interests at that cflmmunity at heart, want to avoid. Only when conditions are so intolerable, when evi dence of corruption iiiid wrong doing is sot strongly supported, not by hearsay, gossip and suspicion, but by established facts, that the unavoidable evifs of a recall have any i-hiince of being overbalanced by the necessarily speculative benefits. No such condition exists in the present instance. Subject the evi dence thus far produced to the slightest judicial inquiry, and it falls of its own weight. Unless there is something far more tangible and damaging than the recall forces have presented, the campaign prom ises never to rise above the ltvel of an undignified and futile neigh borhood squabble Let's get out of it if we can, not for the benefit of this faction or that, but for the benefit of the community as n whole. One might smile at the ridiculous exhibition, if it were not so expensive. Hut this recall, if carried to a finish, will do far more than raise taxes. It will leave a divided and embittered county, until very recently one of the most progressive and united districts in the state, it will sow the seeds for further disturbances of the same kind, it will estrange men who should he good friends and separate families Who should he good neighbors. And what do the people get in return, not the people who are vio lently in favor of the recall or those who are violently against, but the vast majority, who have not taken sides one way or the other, but only wish there was some way to stop this strife and dissension, and return to peace and sanity and common sense. They get the rich privelege of paying out between $3000 and $'-4Q00 in cold cash for what comes close to being a public calamity! Not very much perhaps but enough to run several page ads in some eastern newspaper, proclaiming the fact that Southern Oregon has at last returned to normalcy, and has regained its shattered reputation 'if being one of the liest places on earth in which to live. Quill Points Artistic temperament seldom develops while the child is young enough to be spanked. Another thing that interferes with profits is the number of unem ployed on the pay roll. ' '. Perhaps you have observed that the nearer wrong a man is, tin more impatient he is of criticism.

That will cost you $7.50, sir." . If the brain leaves considerable parking space inside the skull, the germ of swellhead will find it sooner or later. A country where- fool drivers keep the population thinned out has no right to scold Ireland for an occasional honest killing. It is difficult to believe, however, that people fifty years from now will sigh for the old songs that were popular in 1922. Another fault of the times is too much birth control enough control of the youngsters after they are born. and not When a politician says the people are learning to think for them selves, they feel so flattered they let linn do their thinking. There's one thing about n milkshake. If you pay, for the first one, you don't feel obligated to have another on your friend. A normal man, as we understand it, is one who thinks Central is holding out on him in pure perversity when she says the line is busy. RippIingRlujraos HURRYING ON TIMK is skipping, time is hopping, with a haste I can't ex plain; soon we'll do our Christmas shopping iu the winter sleet and rain. I'reeious months are slipping- by us, and they never will come back, and we use some language pious when we view the almanac. Half the year is now departed, half the year is spent anil run, and I'm feeling broken hearted when I view the work undone. Vain and useless was my planning and I now take iu my sign; Father Time is always canning noble hopes and dreams of mine. I have scarcely done a quarter of the things I planned, I see; for the days and weeks are shorter than the blamed things ought to be. All the months are bob-tailed speeders, each the worst you ever saw; and I feel oh, gentle readers, that there ought to he a law. For we can get nothing finished, we can wind up nothing here, and our store of life's diminished every time we flap an ear; and the moments, never stopping, whisper that we're nearly through, and the time for Christ nuis shopping, will be .with us l II. q. WITH MEDFOPD TRADE IS MEDF0RD MADE. the farmers meet these charges togeth er with the already high taxes and remain solvent? This must be an swered, and answered now. In Texas where the cotton farmer was threatened with bankruptcy, the Farm Bureau with its Co-operative Commodity Organization solved the problem. Being confronted with a common problem, the bankers led the business men in helping the Farm Bureau organize and financed their commodity organization. They did not try to pass the buck by talking about how bank examiners would regard it. They found a way and did it. In Texas they realize that banks are in exis tence to serve business, industry and agriculture instead of these things ex isting to serve banks. All the com munity working together have solved the problem. In Other States In Oklahoma they have solved the same problem in the same way. In Virginia we have a striking illus tration. ' In Maryland there is no farm organi zation, no cooperation and no prosper ity just across the imaginary Btate line the farmers are organized. ." ; ', The Eastern Shore, of Virginia Pro duce Exchange, an institution similar to our Jackson County Farm Bureau and Co-operative Exchange, laut year handled 9,000,000 of fruit and veget ables cooperatively. How has this af fected the banking business? i, "We started business with deposits of $150,000. Today our deposits are J750.000. We had only 200 rural depo sitors. Now we have 1000 and their average deposit is (1000. Our bank was established because of the Ex change." So writes V. S. Burton, assis tant cashier of the Onley bank. Several miles from Onley is Ono mock, the home of the First National bank. "It herded organize and finance the exchange. Seventy-five per cent of our depositors are farmers," said G. H. Powell, vice president. "They number about 1600 and all have sav ings accounts averaging between $750 and $1000. Before the exchange start ed we had about 800 farm customers and their deposits averaged $200. The increase in our customers and deposits has been due to the profit growers now are able to make out of their busi ness. The price the exchange gets for their products permits this." Across the line in Maryland an offic ial of the People's Bank of Somerset county located at Princess Ann, Mary land, said: "We have -good, crops of fruits and vegetables. , but speculators buy them for what they, please. When prices are good our farmers don't ac cumulate much money, their expenses and debts of other years taking all they receive. I don't think our cus tomers ever have been entirely out of debt. The average debt this year, be cause of a bad crop in 1921, is from $400 to $500. We have accounts of 1500 of the 2500 farmers in our district. They run from $50 to $100 at most. As I see it, this means that there are a thousand farmers who do not have money enough to start an account. The co-oporattve Idea, however, is begin ning fo take hold, and conditions are bound to Improve." Contrast the coudition of the bank ers and farmers in Virginia with its Co-operative Exchange, with that in Maryland without the co-operation. Tills is tho story all over the world. Out of Date Bankers Co-oieratlon pays. The banker who is opposed to farm organization, who refuses to aid co-operative enterprises, who even In some cases, instead of aid ing farmers, calls their 8 per cent paper and invests his deposits in com mercial paper at a lower interest rate is not only out of date as a banker but is a menace to his community. Prosperity in the Rogue River val ley caji only come from the hearty support of the farmer by all our people including our business men and our bankers. We must organize not only to raise our produce but to market it. Our co-operative exchange must be financed so we can use all our grain at home and make it Into poultry, dairy and hog feed, and it must organ ize co-operating, with the county agent to develop the dairy, poultry and live stock industry. Our people must or ganize co-operatively to produce and RHEUMATISM LEAVES YOU FOREVER Deep Seated I'rlc Acid .

Every druggist In this county is authorized to say to every rheumatic sufferer that If a futl pint bottle of Allenrhu, the sure conqueror of rheumatism, does not show tho way to stop the agony, reduce swollen joints and do awny with even the slightest twinge of rneumntic pain, ho will gladly return your money without comment. Allenrhu has been tried and tested for years, and really marvelous re sults have been accomplished in the most severe cases where the suffer ing and agony was Intense and pite ous and where the patient was helpless. Mr. James -H. Allen of Rochester, N. Y., the discoverer of Allenrhu, who for many years suffered the torments of acute rheumatism, desires all suf ferers to know thnt he does not want a cent of anyone's money unless Allenrhu derisively conquers this worst of all diseases, and he has in structed druggists to guarantee It as above in every instance. All drug gists can supply you. Adv. handle cheese, milk and butter, can fruit and vegetables co-operatively, because this is the only way in which the producer can make a profit, and, unless he does, make good by pros perity. This can not be done unless our home banks co-operate. We have been told that the business of a banker is to sell money and credit. We think he has a higher mission, to perform ; but accepting the commercial view, then the case Is: Are tbey.ablq.,' as dealers In money and credit, to, do for the Rogue River valley what other bankers all over the United 'States have done?
