The cornet player tried to blow the, occupants out of the front seats, i f - A LADY TALKS LWhat business has an old gal 40 years old got trying to spring a baby stare on a Portland drummer, anywny. She shut her eye and opened her mouth Oh; Lord, I can't toll you! but hon-st, I never waa bo naw-ahc-ated in all my born days, os I was with this she-Valentino. Tho Wbii Bang is rlghL It said the good girls go to Heaven, and tho bad girls go down to tho depot to son tho travelling men come In, She's got three girls, aad their Mother will beat 'om to the dance three out of every four Satur days In a month. Where did you glmn that necktie? It's becoming nil right. My Grandma l making a sofa pillow and Elsie's truckdrlvor gave her all tho ones ho didn't want, and believe me Ornnny wiib tickled. I got some respect for that man now, since he was kind to the old, ns wn all Ret that way sooner or lator, unless wo have some good luck. Kxcuno me, that cook is having one of his fits! 1 The) C or V, IS pniiMtniK new rnnii ; MCinborit. t, ' A' N EVEIiETT woman unci her brothcmirlaw were murdered Inst uitflit. ' To hide the crime tlio murdcrjer set fire to tho house and two little children of the murdetvd womuu were burned in the flumes, A few minutes Inter a few miles from EvMrctt, a train was hold up by masked bandits, and amid a volley of gun shots three men were se riously wounded. Yesterday a pretty irl was found dead in her bd in a New York apartment. According to the poliee she was poisoned by a former admirer. , ' From a news standpoint, there is nothing sensational about those crimes. Crimes today are so frequent, and horrors so common, that the chrouiellinK of crime has become a matter of rather tiresome rou tine. Xot a day passes, but somo shocking deed of violence is re ported. Uiuik robberies arc of daily, occurrence. The entire country m saturated',!:! lawlessness. ; . Some pe)lo blame this condition on the war. The war may have been a contributing factor, but it was scarcely the cause. One eastern newspaper cliiims that the freedom with which firearms may be pur chased Is largely responsible for the criruo wave. Another contribut ing factor, Uit nothing more. No, there' in probably no one distinguishable cause, but a multi tude of minor forces which may all be brought under one general head the sia.ll.len tmd mysterious disappearance of what have always been considered well established moral standards. In the country at large there necm to be no moral standards, no individual habits of restraint. The country seems not so immoral as uu-moral, not so de fiant of moral standards as without all moral standards. Probably a boot could be written oh the causes, but by a process o.f elimination there can be only one remedy.: That is in some way to not the world back to a vital and living spirhual faith. It is an easy thing to say. It is not so easy to sec any sign of real progress in that direction. - :. -- - - - .. - What th? New Farm Credit Bill Means to Jackson County Quill Points Life is just a slow and painful process of'gctting out of trouble. You can't covet' Americanism with a hood Without knocking it into a cocked hat. To tho man who gets no press notices, a clipping bureau seems shear nonsense. She isn't a vamp if she eats onions, sancitity." You might call it the odor of It wasn't so hard to keep a husband in the old days when women knew how to keep house. The economists tell iw that over development is dangerous, and this is especially true of the ego. Even the criminal says a reformer has inalienable rights, which, apparently, is liberty. . One of It isn't that peoplo no longer respect authority, but that there is so little authority to respect. , There is too much interest in the balance of power and too darned little in the balance of budgets. There was considerably less crime in the old daya when the pris oner and not the scnteuee was suspended. The cleverer tho book agent, tho longer he can stay without let ting you know his business. We may have lessened the density of Europe's population, but the survivors seem equally dense. Love may laugh at locksmiths, but wo judgo by their continued multiplication that it doesn't laugh at other Smiths. So far tho I'Vcnch effort in the Ruhr seems lo have done no moro than transform pick handlers into panhandlers. Correct this sentence : "Let the girls have their new frocks," said mother; "I don't need anything this spring." Few things aro more pathetic than the sight of a very small man compressing his lips and tryiug to look determined. The blood-nnd-iron combination niny build an empire, but the coal-and-iron combination docs n more permanent job. Paying for tho war might seem less painful if it required wear ing uniforms with gold-braid yardage in proportion to tho tax paid. RipplingRhucQs Wt Mason THE ORDEAL OVER. 1JUST have paid my iueonio tax for 19'J'J; I made no pessimis tic cracks, 1 raised no loud boo-hoo. Hut, sorely as I need tho dough, to buy me oil and gas, I made no vain parade of woe as I coughed up the brass. I blithely drove my team of yaks to the collector's door, and cried, "Here is my income tax, I would that it were more!" At times I thought with furtive tear, that I was squeezed too hurd i the government was too severe upon an old fat bard; it was distressing to outhaml the product of my lyres, to dig the kopecks I had planned to blow for rubber tires. Hut when I glanced around the world, considered other lands, where buttle fliius are seldom furled, and want forever stands, whero nothing's stable or secure, and money is a joke, I Raid, "Though taxes make ine poor, I shall not whine or eroak. We have -tho grandest land on earth, our bulwarks are a treat, our eaglo gives your money's worth, our banner can't be beat. And patriots in time of pence hIiouUI not in 7.eal relax, but put tlio coin in a va lise, and pay their income tax." So let the duleimer be played aud let the timbrel screech; the chore is done, my tax is paid, my conscience is n pcaeh. i as ILrmlly pnssed by congress and approvod by the president, Jinrth 0 tlio KO-eulled Kami Credits bill, Iti- Ntoad of being a composite bill as re ported out from tho banking and currency commlttoe of the house be came a dunl bill, providing two dis tinct and Hepuruto rural credit or Kanizntlona, namely, tho federnl In termediate credit banks and the na tional agricultural credit coroora- tlons. Tho former Is placed undor tho control and management of tho reaerui rami Loan Hoard and tho latter under tho supervision of tho Comptroller ot tho Currency. Whilo the two syHlems will furnish relief to tho agricultural interests of tho country, tho federal Interme diate credit bunks will moro particu larly take caro of tho needs of farm ers. fruitgrowers and livestock raisers of this section, while tho national agricultural credits corporation will como noaror takiig caro of tho larger co-operative livestock and marketing associations ttB now organized and may be,, trganlsed.

Somo eleven years apo the rendins of n very attractive booklet brought me. to Medford, and I have ever since been frrateful to those who were re sponNible for the publication and dis tribution of that piece of literature. Now that 1 am enjoying the won derful advantage possessed by Southern Oregon, it occurs to me that I would be extremely selfish if I did not assist the Chamber f Commerce with both service and funds, to publish a splendid booklet in order that others may be fortunate enough to have their attention called to thin delightful section of the Pa cific coast. JOHN C. MANX. III! Mi S3 Not a Christian Scientist To the Editor: My attention has been called to your account in the Tribune of March Sth of the testimony Klven that morning in tho Jackson county nightrlding cases, in which you report one of the three defendants, Howard A. Hill, as testifying that he "belonged to the Christian Science church." That Is evidently a mistake, for upon investigation I find he made no such statement in his testimony. He nriulnnltiiT . , , .

Tho farm loan act was amended in several essential, features 1- Providing for tho permanent rorgnnization of tho federal land banks, the farmer-borrowers aro al lowed to seloct 4 out of tho 7 di rectors. 2. The maximum umount of n loan through u Farm Loan usstieia lion is rained id :r..000. 3. 1 An additional provision is made as to tho purposes ot the farm loan. To liquidate! Indebtedness of th owner of the land moHgagG, Incurred for agricultural purposes, or Incurred prior to January 1, 1922." Tho provision to appoint agents uny nnd every plaeo at tho will of thc-lorm Loan board to solicit and muko unindorsed farm loans without any personal liability to tho borrower together with tho provision that the rnrm Loan associations could Volun tarily liquidate and tho borrowers be relieved ot the double liability on their slock which provisions would ultimately scrap or do away with the farm loan associations, were all de feated. All tho cooperative features of the farm loan net arc preserved. The only way to get a federal farm loan on land Is through cither a national farm loan association or a Joint stock land bank. It. Was claimed In the discussion In congress that the farm loan associations would not and did not glvo service to tho farmers in many sections of tho country. It was a very close vote in congress to save tho Farm Loan associations. It Is now up to tho Farm tonn associa tions and tho federnl land bunks to give Birvlcc to the farmers If the farm loan associations wish to con tinue as co-operutlvo organizations. As it was claimed that many fiocre-tury-treasurors wero engaged In the making of land-moi-tgngo loans other than federal farm Iouhb; section of the farm loan act is amended by adding thereto tho following: "No such secretary-lrcasurer shall en gage in the making of land-morlgnge loans eligible at a federal land bank through or for any other land-mortgage company or agencj. and the making of any Biich lean by any secretary-treasurer shall forthwith work forfeiture of his offlee." .
