JOIIRXAMHTIO TUIAF,8 (Avon, Mont,, Uei-uld) Last week, In a few copies of our paper, wo published n 1 story telling, of tho death of the Rev. John U. White. It ramn through reliable sources, but just us tlie wheels of tho press were turning we had a call stating that tho story wus unverified. Wo stopped tho press, pulled out the story, put in another story nnd proceed ed. But the regrettable part Is that wesmlssetl n big scoop, for when the Herald reached its readers, except for a half dnsen early few, Mr, White had passed away. Press dispatches state thnt Miss Vivian Duncan, of stage and film note. Is suffering from a black eye and a red nose, the result of not ducking a flurry of rlght-handod swings, flung by hn ardent admir er.

The nrdent admirer did not even get his hair musHed and, by his deeds, got his mime In the pupees. for the first time. There Is nothing timet, to be done almtit hint - the enveman- except to pray Ihul he will meet a lady with dynamite In her fists, nnd suffi cient gumption to strike buck, when the romance within his soul becomes rambunctious.

The owner's fin era are too pudgy to Jump from chromo to rhromn, causing his A DISGRACEFUL Til? opposition of the Semite' iiisurxfuU to tlie nuval reduc tion hill, is typical of 'this crowd of pestiferous trouble makers, who are consistent in only one tiling- to do everything in their power, to einhiirras iintl harass the President. Their demand for all the correspondence between this coun try and (Jreat Britain, rejjardinn the naval reduction bill, is just ns insincere, as tJieir op osition to the inuiisure, on the ground that it (fives nothing to the 1'nited Ktatcs and everythinu THEY pretend to want only the facts this correspondence contains, lint lliey don't give a rap for the facts, for they already have them. This was shown wheu Senator liced of Pennsylvania, offered to give any or all' of them these facts, if they were Welti in confidence. Senator .Johnson rose in typical demagogic wrath and scorned such an offer, fin the ground that the people of this country were entitled to know the truth concerning the pact. Naturally. For the facts are not what Senator Johnson wants, lie wants the privelege of broadcasting them, to gain some political prestige for himself, and embarass the adminis tration. . IT is an open secret in Washington that these facts, do not concern the naval treaty itself, but are indiscreet comments,, made by Ambassador Dawes', regarding certain prominent statesmen in Kngland. If these were broadcast to the' world, they would create such a furore in Kngland, that the signing of the nnval treaty would be impossible, Ambassador Dawes would probably be recalled, nnd President "Hoover would have an added burden to carry. ' ' .,... MOIlKOVlirt tlie insurgent senators know very well, that Prcuiilniit llniiver is under tin obliL'itl ion. direct or implied. lo make public this correspondence. Ever since the time of Washington, every American .President, has withheld facts con cerning the details of international agreements, whenever he regarded their publication as contrary to the public interest, anil the country's welfare. ': Hut Hie people of the country as it whole tM not. realize this. Husiness conditions are bad. There is widespread unrest and discontent.- Senator ,lohnsnii, nbl'ewd politician that he is, realize that in making this demand, he cannot lose. If the President grants the demand, the treaty is beaten; if he doesn't grant it, then he and bis unserupulous colleagues,, can make the welkin ring, about )iov: the President, refuses lo take the people of this country into his'ctrtil'idenee, regarding the secret committments-of this pact,, when no one realizes better than he, that there are none. ',..', ., , " ' ' '''it . '; A.- :';.. ' TII.K situation, wo repent, is perfectly typical of the Senate insurgent' group, and the low estate tO'.which tho Upper House of" congress has fallen. 'The! real statesmen in it, the members, sitieerely interested in what is, best for this country, rather than what is politically, advantageous to themselves, can be counted" on the fingers of ono hand. ' ','. SMALL wonder, PresiiJcukIooYcr. has decided .ho cannot, a: ford to take, his scheduled trip to this 'const, but must stay on the job through the summer on the liapidan. Conditions would be difficult enough under tho best circumstances. Hut when, lidded to unavoidable eco- noinio and political complications, tho President has a Senate that is dominated by a wilful minority, seeking his' political' downfall, and interested in' nothing else, to enjoy any real holiday is simply out of the question,. ' - "- '. ''.;'!. THKRli has been nothing more shameful and disgraceful in recent political history, than the tactics of this senate group toward President Hoover nnd particularly toward this naval reduction treaty. If their opposition were sincere, there would bo no just cause for complaint.- Honest differences, of opinion concerning the treaty, should he expected. 1 Hut tho plain truth is tho only honest opposition comes from the Hig Nuvy men, who want, some of that added billion dollars, that, the defeat of this measure will, force the taxpayers of this country to spend. ! ' ' The insurgents are supporting them, not because they also want' a big navy, but because they will support anything, or do anything, that w'ill directly tho President of tho United Stales, and rentier, his effort to further world peace nnd restore prosperity, more difficult.

(JI.'KSTIONS AMI- ANSWERS , WIlltrlclil'H Ollllllient III Liquid Form Many persons who have rlnar worm of (ho teot (athlete's Itch, (oe itch. tricophytoHis) find the now well known WliKfiold's oint ment nn effective remedy, but ob- hrclene. nut to dUetw. dlunoili or treatment Ject to" the, annoyance of using a greasY salve. Annoying it may be, but it Is mure efficacious than any liquid can be. However, 'hitfleld himself has given a formula for a liquid which may be used in the daytime, tho the salve is still best for use at night. The liquid for mula, is as follows: Benzoic acid...: i ..l drams Salicylic acid 1 dram Acetone 1 ounce Diluted alcohol, enough to make 4 ounces. This may be aifplled two or three times daily, taking care to let it dry thoroly before putting on tho Htockings again. Dr.' Fred Wise finds that whei'o patients are unable to use unsightly prepara tions, a plain solution of salicylic acid In alcohol, from 10 to 15 per cent strength. Is satisfactory, if applied three times a day. Now If I may put in a word of homely advice, I; think that if there is any difficulty about get ting the alcohol, one might still find considerable relief from the a ppll cation each night of plain Whitfield's ointment, or even plain salicylic acid ointment, say 25 to 30 grains of salicylic acid in one ounce of plain ointment base such as half lanolin ami half petrola tum. Caffeine Habit Kor the past' two years I have had the habit of drinking ono or two glasses of (a proprietary soda fountain beverage) every day. ' Have been told this Is injurious.' inasmuch as It contains "dope." Please advise me about It. (L.CJ.) Answer, I advise you to give It up and drink any plain fruit Juice beverage, such as lemonade, grape Juice, etc. However, the stuff con tains no "dope." It contains only 'a small dose of caffeine, about the same quantity as you get in a cup of this terrible concoction they .call "coffee" In the great American quids lunch. I should not "recom- mi end Indulging In even JweaJt ttt'a! or. coffee ns you take the 3roprie- tury beverage. Communications Tlie First Clock In Oregon, To the Editor: , Among the many show windows on the streets of Ashland on July 4th, wherein, pioneer relics were exhibited, rwas one showing relics of 18-13. . . Chief among these relics wus the. first clock ever brought to Oregon. Its history Is given in the following poster- which was shown with the clock while It was on exhibition: ' Jonathan Frost clock, mnde . In Boston, Mass., In 1841 nnd shipped (o Oregon by sailing vessel. Property originally of Jason l.ee, the first mission ary (o come to Oregon, com ing ns- early ns 1S34. In 184.1 this clock was purchased from Jason Lee by Lindsay Apple gate and hns been a cher ished possession of the Ap plegate family for 8.7 years. It Is still marking time. Strange ns it may nppear no mention has been mndo ot the 1843 window, which shows how slow people aro .to grasp or ap preciate tho real value of such relics. Tho great immigration of 1843 wns tho first to follow tho missionaries, and wns the imnil gVation which Americanized Ore gon. Surely relics of 18-13 are of eiiual. if not greater, value nnd Importance than relics brought to Oregon nine years -later. ' For real historic value, relics of 1843 should come first. CITIZEN.
