This Is be cause of n laok of knowledge of the eoonomlcs of gas distribution. The company finds that It has a catinclty of 40 million cubic feet whercus It Is only1 selling 86 mil lion ruble feet, Ohrlounly, If II could Increase Its sales liy & million cubic feet, It could reduce the cost of handling per 1000 cubic feel find thereby make possible n lower price. Therefore, It engages In n campaign -for new huHlnc. Put, alas, the public buys too readlly aml the snlcn amount tti 42 million feet. There Is nothing left to do but Increase the capacity to fiO million cubic feet anil to put on another drive for new business, which again rauhcs miles to mount Hlmve u piicliy.

' Tii is is in harmony with Jackson Comity reputation, of leading tho' state in every progressive movement.

It lias consistently led the state in the public health move lnent, .establishing; the first comprehensive unit. It lias led in the sale of Christmas seals, for many years, it leads the common wealth in Orange activities.' It was one of the first counties to adopt apple selling as a help to the unemployed; there is not a progressive, constructive enterprise in the state in which it has not taken n leading part. ' ' . - The people of Southern Oregon can well be proud of being residents of Jackson County. For 20 years' it has been at the head of the procession, it is still at the. head, and promises to re tain that position indefinitely. The situation only calls attention once more to tho fact that while this section has many valuable resources, the greatest of all lies in the quality of its citizenship SOLVING THE LOCAL UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM WITH the overwhelming victory for the High School bonds, nwnrrlinir of the contract for the new Cottage street ridge, and the county road work serious unemployment problem lloth city and county officials are insisting that local labor be given the preference, married men or single men with de pendents, be engaged first, anil that floating labor receive the least consideration.

THE PEOPLE CAN'T AI'LKASDIlAIil.K event too nnua iiiirncoi'iiiort liv The those always brilliant nnd heretofore ever antagonistic contem poraries, the excellent Salem t'apital-Jmirnal and the eminent Salem Stateshiin, in complete liarinony on a matter of general interest Adding immeasurably1 to out' enjoyment in finding our able and distinguished friends in is the indubitable faut that they note by the following exeerptsl Salem Capital-Journal: Tho proposal of the trainmen's uniting to demand n six-hour day at present wages as n means of relieving unemployment and lOBtorlng prosperity Is about a futile a curo-ull for depression as -could be presented. In tho llrst, place, a six-hour shift Is probali y Improbable and would Involve n reorganisation of the entire ope.' ntliin and rate structure. It would necessitate n further Increase In freight rales already too high and react In decreasing traffic' nnd In stlinttlallnB anlomotlvo anil water competition, nnd ao re dut'o tho number of rail employes, ltallrond unions now hnvo', wages far ubove the uverage wage Bcale. Any liiercnso must como from tho pockets of the nenplo In Increased freight charges and enn hardly itiltl to tho prosperity or farmers, and its ultimate rosult would bo to lessen tho number of rail employes. Sulcm Statesman: With railroad rates at such high levels that traffic Is being lost to trucks and buses, and with general business falling off so that gross anil net earnings of the roatls are off around 30 per cent from lllStl, tho railroad unions seem to havo chosen tin inauspi cious time to start a campaign for n six-hour luy with eight-hour pay. The railway employes have the largest stako in the railroad business or tiny 'group. They get nearly one hair of every dollar taken In by the roads, nnd their proportion has been Increasing. The unions nve ill-advised in starting a campaign for n six-hour day wllh eight-hour pny on the railroads at the present tlmo. If the inllroods havo any gravy left over the shippers want lower freight rales. That might get business back to tho roatls nnd give more of the unemployed men Jobs.

Old - fashioned croup "catar rhal spasm of the! larynx, spnnmodfc croup com monly Htaod a threo-nlcht stand. The doctor ocassionnlly flaw the performance the second niRht. tlioitfih In many Instances people hardly considered croup sufficient oxcuho for contracting a doctor bin. 1 I cannot explain even to my own satisfaction why croup has chang ed in character in a few years. I'd like to believe it in les com mon and less severe now because people are less afraid of fresh cool air in sleeping room nights.. But that conjecture is not quite satis factory. Then another possible factor is the newer knowledge of vitamins perhaps children who get their vitamins are less suscop-, tH.ln i. fi'inm A rhli-H i,i,t-llitn ' factor is the increasing intelligonce of parents, even teachers, about the infcctlousm'sw of ft I 1 e g d "colds" nnd the effort to protect children from undue exposure to such infection. Whatever the rea sons may be, certain.it. is. that crou, today Is a milder ailment than It Wits SO years ago. The younger doctors who have never had experience with croup seem unduly exercised over the danger of confusing It with diph theria. There is in fact no dn ti ger of that.

In the-mltldlo. of the night the attack comes, on, a crow ing, wheezing intake of breath. which soon , wakens tho child nnd the "parents;. In severe ."cases this difficulty of 'breathing is distress ing to witness, and sometimes: the child becomes blue for want of air lips, fingernails; the child's voice is hoarse hut not lost; whore the breathing Is very difficult the child soon shows weakness or pros t rat ion. The attack uubside ALWAYS and th child nrcsentlv falls asleep. In the old rtifys he was generally pretty well next day and only .toward dark did ho be gin to get ready to commence to stage a repetition of the perform ance the second night. Here' is the great difference between spas modic simple croup nnd a grave illness like diphtheria a child with diphtheria Is sick, weak, pros trated from the beginning, and has no such .complete relief following a spell of distress. The child with croup Is scarcely 111 enough to go to bed; n Child with diphtheria is ill nnd no mistake. No child ever died of (croup When the spasm of the larynx Is so severe as to Imperil breathing the child becomes faint and re laxed, and that relieves the spasm and the breathing at once becomes normal. This is a crude nnd cruel way to euro croup, but It is Na ture's way. Syrup , of Ipecac is the time-honored medicine to produce a- similar effect relaxation of the spasm in fh Imrynx. For this purple n dose of a teaspoonful of syrup of Ipecac is given to a child a year; oid, atd repeuted after 15 minute. If It falls to induce vom iting. , I have always believed, from ex perience, that there was no better remedy to prevent and to relieve the - attack of .croup than1 cold, moist air. If the night is a cold one, wrap the child In blankets and sit with1 him In your arm In the Window or out of doors for n while. The soothing Influence uf clear cold air is remarkable. Another homely remedy which Is useful not only In th relief of croup but In the relief of any form of laryngitis r. tracheitis, - (wind pipe Inflammation) accompanied with much irritation or with hoarseness. Is the cold compress many folds of muslin wrung out of icecold water nnd kept on the front and sides of the neck for half an hour or longer, changing every few minutes. ' .

But parents who no longer mak tho mistake of definitely tralninc their children to perform still in directly develop nnd exploit their accomplishments for show pur poses. It Is such a temptation to let orto's child shine before others, that they cannot resist it, although they know better. Whenever children are encour aged to show off their accomplish-: ments the parents commit the error of causing them to think more about themselves and about eliciting admiration than about the thing which they are doing. The best results, both in terms of achievement and of chnrncter, are obtained when an Individual derives so much satisfaction from the thing ho is doing, that he is little aware of what other people are thinking of him at the time. The selection of the spcctal ad vantages we give our children should he governed, not by what will mnke them appear well before others, but by the lines of their own creative enthusiasms.
