I notice that there hits been
same criticism recently of tho gas
situation, particularly of the fact
that the deficit on the new husl
ncBB department Is charged against
the regular consumer. 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

n-n and on and the) company, which
is trying so . hard to reduce the
price of gas. Instead of receiving

Tii is is in harmony with Jackson Comity reputation, of
leading tho' state in every progressive movement. Jackson
County led the good roads movement in Oregon,' construct in),',
at its own expense, the first unit of the Pacific Highway.
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

lloth city and county officials are insisting that local labor

This is a wise policy. Meanwhile there are two local events

interest Adding immeasurably1 to out' enjoyment in finding our

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.

hardly considered croup sufficient

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

that conjecture is not quite satis

factor is the newer knowledge of
vitamins perhaps children who

factor is the increasing intelligonce

children from undue exposure to

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

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

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. ' .

This fashion, however, has fallen
largely into disuse, since it Is reo
ognized as a means of makim?
children self-conscious and vain.
But parents who no longer mak
tho mistake of definitely tralninc
their children to perform still in

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.

vantages we give our children

own creative enthusiasms.
