This may he a correct diagnosis but, we fear, places too irrcat a responsibility on the weather man. J'rohably the political heat, which Mr. Lfnue cncininlcied in the wheat belt, contributed more to his physical debility and verbal extravagance, than the climatic product. Like most men of affairs who enter polities for the first time, .Mr. Jjcgcc undoubtedly finds the going rather rough, lie is familiar with opposition, and accustomed to overcoming it. but being "damned if he, does and damned if he doesn't," is in all likelihood a new and somewhat exasperating experience. W11KN he entered Chicago from Kansas, Chairman l.egge was met by a telegraphic demand from the Wichita Jiea eon that as head of Kami Kclicl' he immediately order the pur chase of lll(l,ll(ll),IHI0 bushels of wheat, and save the Kansas wheat farmers from ruin. This demand was backed up by Senator Capper from the same state. Small wonder that the chairman's oral reaction was not strictly parliamentary. For last fall when the Kami Hoard did make such a puuehasc at $1.1H a bushel, anil the price proceeded to drop below !I0 cents, his Kansas opponents flayed hini for pulling the government into the wheat pegging business, and forcing the overburdened taxpayers to hold the sack.

Sure of himself and perfectly at home in the business world, Mr. Leggc can hardly be blamed for being pretty much at sea, and profoundly irritated in the confusing arena of practical pol ities. Ill placing all his troubles upon polities he is liudoubl cdly correct. Hut that docs not alter the fact that when one en ters politics, one must bear the burdens that polities impose. TTllH only thing Chairman Legge can do, is to do T1IK liKST UK. CAN, and take the hammering he gets regardless of what he does, as only a part of the game. Jf wheat prices im prove he will win, if they don't he will lose. In polities, as in other affairs of life, nothing succeeds like success; and, regard less of the excellence of one's intentions, there is no alibi for failure. So we trust I he Farm Hoard leader will waste no more en ergy in lambasting his political foes, or trying to make politics conform to the rules of either business or common sense. Kar better to just plug along, do the immediate job before him, as he believes it should be done, and follow tho example of another liig Husiness Man who entered polities, keep sawing wood, devole his spare momcntaj like Ambassador Morrow, to a study of the (ircek philosophers.

American labor should not be asked under any circumstances to competo with Itusxlan convict Improved workers. Ill the dispatch above conies the answer. What does this mean' Jt means a grcaf; many things, all of them o tremendous and portcntious import. IT means first, that Soviet Russia, with its system of commun- ism, the elimination of private profit, and, practically speak ing, the elimination of wages, can, with its unlimited natural re sources, compter not only the lumber markets of this country but of the world. As everyone knows, 30 per cent of the total cost of timber logging and manufacturing is paid to labor di rectly in wages. Soviet Russia eliminates this cost at the outset. More than that, it can ship the lumber from Archangel to Xew York for 8 a thousand feet, whereas the Oregon manufacturer has to pay from $10 to .14 to reach the same market through the Panama Canal. "VK needs only a pencil and paper to see that, unless this - Russian competition is destroyed, the chief industry in this northwest is doomed. Hut in the tariff bill so generally con demned no adequate protection is that as far as such competition is concerned no adequate tar iff protection could be given, except by a tariff aimed at Rus sia alone. Hut the Treasury prohibits ground that the wood pulp js produced by convict labor! This will no" doubt please the sweet-tempered Comrade Stalin very much! And it will please, the other Soviet leaders just as much. "We can't compete with arc convicts.' If that isn't, diplomatically speaking, a caustis belli we don't know the meaning of the term. So to repeat, unless Russian OK WJCAKX1CSSS1CS IXIIICRIC.NT IN T11IC SYSTEM, then its conflict with what we know as American capitalism, is as cer tain as the sunset this evening, or sunrise tomorrow. It is in all seriousness the "irrepressible conflict between opposing and enduring forces." Personal Health Service By William Brady, M. D.

Communications Itcgardliig Pear Valuations To tho Kdltor: As one of the oldest fruit grow ers In the valley from the' stand point' of experience and as the president of tho Med ford Pear Growers association, which organi zation controls some threo hundred and fifty cars of fruit this season, and which experienced no difficul ty in contracting its packing ami selling at the figures which I shall uso as a basis for comparison, I wish to object strenuously to the Table of Pear Valuations as pub lished In your paper of July 23 for the "benefit" ( ?) of the pear growers oh erroneous, misleading and entirely unjustified by facta or good business practice. In view of this some analysis of tlio table might be timely. I tako it that tho table contemplates "a sixty cent packing charge, a ten per cent commission nnd an over weight of at least five per cent. Now sixty cents is entirely too much for the packing operation at any time nnd more especially this year because of business condi tions. Supplies nro cheaper, labor is not so expensive nnd far more efficient and several houses are now contracting packing at fifty cents and fhe owners have given me to understand that they expect to make a dime profit at this price. Ten percent on f. o. b. sales is too ! high. Tho eastern brokers work for twenty-five dollars per car or less and tho local packer and ship per can certainly do the same. At one dollar nnd fifty cents per box (this would save five cents and at three dollars would mean a saving of twenty cents per box or over one hundred dollars per car. Tho majority of the boxes sold f.o.b. from this valley nro marked "minimum net weight when pack ed 42 lbs." The buyers understand this and buy on tills basis and any weight In excess of this Is plain waste of growers fruit nnd is the one factor that has tho must to do In determining the nack out of the crop.

It was a city tt n like anything they had ever seen, and the Little Black Clock explained t h a t he had turned the t i m e way ahead.- Thero had been a time when John arid Peggy had visited a very large city with their mother and father and they had seen tho . tall buildings. It had seemed then as though they wero looking at ' canyons between huge cliffs ot ' stone. At tho far end they could wo tho sky just a narrow bit of tho . sky. .' The buildings were so very tall on either side that this city looked liko a tremendous series' of can yons. Through ench street that they went they would look up . from time to time and see a llttlo nar row strip of sky, and sometimes a tiny glow from the sun would light up the buildings and a, ray. nf sunlight would try to play "catch" with nnothor ray of sun- light. If they tried to look up to tho tops of these buildings they al most fell over backward nnd when they took a ride in a very won derful automobile they went on " driveways made right through buildings. In fact almost all the buildings were made so that thero wero driveways going through them and sometimes they would Kn through building nfter building and hardly see anything of tho streets.

As it drew dark they saw some big dirigibles going slowly over the city, with gleam ing lights shining from . their sil very forms.
