For more than 60 years a section line near Fort Scott, In the prohibi tion state of Kansas, haa been mark' H wJUekjf bottle, Another Way to End Depression THE announcement that Mrs. Carl Von der Hellen hag sold a story to the Ladies' Home Journal, and had been advised by the editor of that publication that she might sell a book to Houghton Mifflin company, deserves a few words of comment. In the first place, Mrs. Von der Hellen is to be congratu lated upon her suocess the result, as is usual in such cases, of HARD WORK AND PERSISTENT EFFORT IN THE FACE OF MANY DJSCOURAGEMENTS. . j In the second place, her success should encourage others hereabouts, who believe they have a story to tell, but who don't know how to go about it, think that some '.oecial training is needed before they can START. Mrs. , Von der Hellen had no special training, and there are soores of other successful writers who had no special training. In fact, special training is seldom needed. The best way to learn to write is SIMPLY TO WRITE, try one's hand at it and keep on trying. Disregarding the positive, geniuses which are few in number practically all successful authors are self-trained and solf made. ANOTHER item of encouragement is the undeniable fact that there is SOMETHING in the atmosphere of the Rogue River valley that is conducive to creative literary effort. Edison Marshall, of course, leads the local list, now recognized as one of the first half dozen of the most successful writers of roman tic fiction Aid adventure in the United States. There are oth ers. Brainerd Beckwith, for example, who started his early literary efforts here, and whose recent novel "Galloping Down" is one of the season's best sollers. Then there is Colonel C. G. Thompson, former Crater Lake director, and our own A. C. Allen and his son, Jim, all have added to their incomes simply by writing of their own experiences, and elaborating upon them. WHAT these individuals have done, others can do. AND . THERE IS NO BETTER TIME THAN THE PRESENT TO DO IT. For not only are a few added dollars especially welcome at the present time j but the literary market is one of the few not affected by this world-wide depression. In fact, there is reason to believe that when business is slack and un employment extensive, the people read more than at any other time. ' . ANOTHER point in favor of Nn nnnitnt investment ia pen (or a typewriter) the author needs nothing but WHAT IS IN HIS HEAD.. He can stay in his hall bedroom, or travel abroad de luxe, keep his regular difference. He is absolutely independent and sen surncient, as long as he has his ideas and has something to put them on. SO HOP to it, boys and girls, women and men.' But lust one word of warninti.

Then blow yourself for a 2-cent stamp and send the MSS to some eastern magazine. i " '' Don't expect a check the first time although that some times happens. Remember that Booth Tarkington had 89 re jotions before he rang' the bell. For, we repeat, the only way to learn to write IS TO WRITE j and the only way to write successfully, is never forsake that time-honored adage : "IF YOU DON'T AT FIRST SUCCEED, TRY, TRY AGAIN I" Birds and Boys and Girls WE WILL close today's disoonrso by commenting favorably unnn two recent communications. Today a "lover of birds" warns agaitist Bhooting meadow larks during the open season for game birds which will soon be here. We emphatically second the motion. The meadow lark is not only a thing of beauty and a joy forever, but a very ef fective pest eradicator. He and all other song birds should be proteoted at all times. And we might amend this motion by including pet dogs, fumily cows, front porches and garages these also should be exempt from the barrage of birdshot which always marks the opening of the hunting season. This should be particularly true within the oity limits. THE second oommunioation urged the people of Medford to assist in giving deserving young people, particularly from the rural districts, a High School education. Whatever doubts may exist about the necessity of a college education, none exist or should exist regarding the necessity of a High School education. Any boy or girl deprived of this, suffers a handicap throughout life which is seldom overoome. There are many girls and boys in the country districts, who ean't afford such an education, unless they can work for their room and board. No money is involved; merely a place to eat and sleep, in return for which the student assist in the per formance of necessary household duties. see, NO DOUBT the difficulty in finding places for such students has been the result of indifference rather than that no places for suoh employment exist. We gladly add our word to that of the communicant, in urg ing Modford residents to consider this matter, help deserving young people and also help themselves, by giving the former a chance to get an education, and securing assistance in household duties practically without cost.

Canada, Gold Mountain- Copyright King Feature Synd, Ino. Shooting of gangsters by gansters continues, and would make an - interesting added chapter for Kropotkin's "Mu tual Aid As a Factor in Evolu tion." Mutual destruction thins the gangster ranks, but the empty places are soon filled. Benjamin Meyerson of the Shapiro gang boasted that he was "the best dressed racket eer in Brownsville." His next costume, not fashionable, will be supplied by an undertaker. Jos. Grottali, another gang ster, was killed near, the spot on which Meyerson was placed. Both ex-convicts had been re leased or let out on bail after crimes that should have mads it impossible for them to do any harm for 20 years at least. The chief of their gang, Sha piro, recently killed, has pecul iarities. He was not afraid of bullets, and proved it. "But he would run, sobbing, if any body pulled a knife on him." Our Imagination and antecedents rule us. Our ancestors have seen knives and their work tor so many hundred of generations that we all dread them. Bullets are new and we hardly believe in them. India's natives,' under British law, must submit to modern methods of fighting the plague. They do not like thla and fight against It, insist ing on their right to swim In the "Holy Gangea" river, although corpsea of those dead of the plague may be floating upon It. Iowa'a state law compels testing cattle to make eure that they are not tubercular. A good Idea, since chU- dren get consumption from the milk of tubercular oows. But it seems a bad Idea to some Iowa farmera and It has been necessary to call out the mllltla to protect those ' that have been sent out to test the cattle. Discovery of Insulin, marvelous remedy for diabetes, becomes more Important and marvelous In view of recent scientific suggestions. A learned Briton says that insulin would enable the unemployed to hi' bernate as the groundhog, bear and other animals do In winter, curling up, taking In barely enough oxygen to keep the heart going and eating nothing. Interesting solution of the unemployment and dole problem, perhaps. But the thought of live or six mil lion workers and their families curled up In the dark, all winter, la un pleasant.

WHAT A DOCTOR SHOU Tha other day I told hefe about the practice of a physician who haa a large number of diabetes patients. He girts two lec tures a week, and Invites all h patients to i tend the lectures free of charge. That doctor's pa tients learn what every diabetes patient mu&t know in order to derive the great est beneftt from treatment. Fannie Benson Rogers, whose ar ticle "If i Had Known In the Be ginning What I Know Now," pub' llahed In the July. . 1931, issue of Journal of Outdoor Life, has attract ed so much attention, proposes that physicians who have many tubercu losis patients should conduct similar meetings, conferences - or lecture course for the benefit of their pati ents. The National iiiberculosls as soclatlon, 490 Seventh- avenue, New York, which publishes the magazine, should distribute Miss Rogers' article widely, for It Is the most practical and valuable bit of writing on tuber culosis that has been made available to the public since Mr. Stocker'a "How I Won the Battle with Tuber culosis In My Own Home," was pub lished In .the same magazine 10 years ago. This Idea advanced by Miss Rogers ought to meet with wide acceptance among physicians who deal largely with tuberculosis. In this disease even more than in diabetes It is of the utmost Importance that the patient have a fairly good understanding of the- nature of his trouble and the healing process, in order that he my give the physician that complete co operation which so greatly promotes recovery. ' Here In the article she contributed to the tuberculosis association's of ficial magazine, Miss Rogers tells how her own Inadequate understanding nf these essentials handicapped her and postponed recovery. If such lack "f education can hinder recovery of a patient with the obvious high order of Intelligence thk author shows, how much more harmful it must be for the general run of tuberculosis cure chasers. Now that Fannie Benson Rogeis suggests it, It seems, almost negli gent on the part of doctors who treat tuberculosis that they have not adopt ed, some such practical method of educating or Instructing their pati ents long ere this. I know one reason why they have not petty Jealousy and narrow mindedness. However, I ask any doc tor who is on the square and In good standing who can criticise a doctor for teaching his own patients how to get well? Of course nobody can. Heretofore, these doctors largely or exclusively engaged In the treatment of tuberculosis have resorted, to the comparatively Inefficient pamphlet, refrain from buying on margin. ' In this day of uncertainty, tbe ALL CASH plan means safety.. Our Important question Is "WHAT SFPUCT WILL BRITAIN'S ACTION HAVH ON SILVER AND ITS VALUE?" When an empire that reaches around the world aays: "I can get along without gold If I chooae," that Is encouraging for silver. But we are a long way from bl-metallsm. In the eyes of high finance, na tlona are divided Into two clasaes gold etandard and not gold standard. Britain will return to the gold stand ard, gold parity, ranks as soon as It can be done conveniently. M Japan admires the League of Na tions, theoretically, but In matters affecting Japan that country oarea aa little about advice or direction from the league as does Mussolini himself. League authorities are told that shooting Chinese and capturing a Chinese city by Japanese soldiers la a little matter with which they need not interfere. A Chinese-Japanese commission will attend to that. Sundown Stores SODAS. By Mary Graham Bonner. -Tou see," began the Little Black Clock.

Tomorrow "The Bird's Whisper." Communications Protect Meadow Larks. To the Editor: As the open season for birds ap proaches. It la apropos to state that some hunters, especially thoughtless boys, shoot at every bird that flies, even at our own state bird, the meadow lark. Many larks were not able to survive the last two or three cold winters, so they are not so plentiful as they were. Fewer of them glsdden vthe wintry days with their bllthsome music. Who so sor did or thoughtless aa to destroy any of those left? Even to those who have no mu sle In their souls, the meadow Urk should have a strong appeal as a utility. It eats no grain nor fruit, but Uvea on insects and the seeds of weeds and wild grass. It de stroys millions of grasshoppers and other harmful insects. Scientists state that man Is engaged In a battle for his life against the Insect world. Shall we destroy our allies, the birds? But for the birds in sects would gradually overrun the earth and destroy our crops, leaving us to perish. Of course, there Is a law against killing birds, but It should never have to be enforced. No one but a vandal will ever kill a harmless songbird. Keep those thoughts in mind, especially when larks fly up before you. A LOVXR OF THB LAPK.
