Drive the Rascals Out!
IF there is, and has been, a gang in Medford which haa been
guilty of '.'depredations", of larceny, petty or grand, and
which now "threatens the .lives and property" of peaceful and
law-abiding citizens, then the people of Medford and Jackson
county are certainly entitled to know it.
They are entitled to know who ARE, and who HAVE been,
its leaders; who ARE and HAVE been its members. They arc
also entitled to know procisely what crimes have been commit
ted, and by whom.
. When these crooks and boodle snatchers are named, the
Mail Tribune pledges itself to do everything in its power to
bring them to justice, and if they are now in public life, DRIVE
THEM OUT I
"PIUS paper believes it is as interested in honest government,
A as strongly opposed to dishonest government, as anyone

The columns of the Mail Tribune are open now, and always

authentic information, leading to the identification and convic
tion of the leaders or members of this, or any other gang, guilty
of crimes, at any time, or in any way.
SO by all means let's have the facts, the NAMES AND THE
CHARGES And then let's get busy at once, clearing up this
mess, and disposing of these charges of gang rule, vice and
corruption ONCE AND FOR ALL !

During the past few years for example, thanks to improved
methods and facilities, ORIGINATED BY LOCAL GROWERS,
a total saving of 46J4 oents per box, in getting pears to the
consumer, has been effected.
Soma idea of the monetary value of this reduction, to the
industry, may be gained, from the fact that on our present
estimated tonnage, the total would bo approximately $1,000,000
$940,000 on 2 million boxes, to be exact. .
These reductions may be listed roughly as follows:
Packing 12
Pre-cooling ................. .03
Storing - 03
Refrigeration and Handling............... .16
Freight .IV,
Icing 01
Total A6y,
'T'HINK of that I Nearly a million dollars taken from produc-
tion costs in two or throe years, and by far the greatest
proportion in the past year. And we repeat, not due to outside
conditions or outside aid, but due entirely to the enterprise and
effioienoy of looal fruit growers individually and through their
various organizations.
It is interesting to noto in this direotion that the tremendous
saving in packing charges announced a short time ago, was
mado by the Southorn Oregon Sales company (S. O. S.), which
is not only controlled entirely by local fruit growers, but was
financed and is being operated by them a 100 MEDFORD
ORGANIZATION I
CO thanks to the high ability we have here, a million dollars
has been saved. And there are other things to do which
the local growers through their organizations are determined to
accomplish.
Every effort is being made, for example, to secure another
freight rato reduction on pears, the same rate now enjoyed
on apples. It is believed this can be done by shipping the same
number of pear boxes in a car as apple boxes, and showing the
railroad companies, that charging $1.73 a hundred for pears and
$1.50 for apples is not justified. If the local growers are as
successful in this direction as they have been in others, this
will moan an added saving of 23 cents per cwt.
Further efforts toward improving the quality of fruit,
standardizing both quality and pack, through the elimination
of inferior grades in tho Eastern market will also be made.
This will go far toward raising and stabilizing the eastern price.
a e e e
IN other words, in view of what has been done, and what local
A growers plan to do, it is no exaggeration to state, that when
it oomes to the production and sale of pears, Medford and the
Rogue River valley, literally lead the world, very much, as in
egg and chicken production, the little town of rctaluma, Cali
fornia, leads the world.
This achievement, which means so much to the development
and prosperity of Southern Oregon now, and will mean even
more in the future, we repeat can be attributed DIRECTLY
to the high quality of citizenship the fine and able type of
men which this section of the state enjoys.

TRIBUNE, MEDFORD,

All Except Punishment.
Birthday at 60 Wall St,
The Dead and Half Dead.
How to Be Democratic.
Copyright King Pasture, 8ynd Ino
The Lindbergh case is ended,
except for punishment, and
that will come. President Hoov
er Friday issued the following
statement:
"I have directed the law en
forcement agencies and the sev
eral secret services of the fed
eral government to make the
kidnaping and murder of the
Lindbergh baby a live and
never to be forgotten case,
never to be relaxed until these
criminals are implacably
brought to justice."
The government's secret ser
vice agencies are efficient.
They make counterfeiting dan
gerous for criminals. Let us
hope that in this case and here
after they will make kidnaping
children as dangerous as coun
terfeiting money.
Our civilization haa always been
efficient In punishing Crimea against
money. Forgers go to prison, coun
terfeiters of unusual ability from all
over the world, find themselves no
match for government detectivea.
But thla country has been slow In
suppressing offenses against human
belnga, murdera in public streets,
"putting on the epot" racketeering,
taking men "for a ride" and throw
ing them out murdered, and all the
other Crimea that hare been devel
oped In thla prohibition-bootleg age.
It la good newa that the national
government hereafter will take the
stealing of a child aa seriously as
It hsa alwaya taken the counterfeit
ing of a ten dollar bill.
Interesting birthday party at 00
Wall Street Friday, and typical of
modern times waa the starter's di
rection' "luncheon on the 50th floor."
Friends were giving Henry L. Doherty,
who organizes companlea and builds
them up, a party on his 62nd birth
day. There were all kinds of Ameri
cans that had done aomethtng, Kent
Cooper, who understands news; John
F. Curry, leader, leader of New York'e
Democratic party'; Owen D. Young,
sitting next but one to Mayor
Walker; Postmaster General Brown;
Walter C. Teagle, head of New Jer
sey Standard OH; B. C. Forbes, who
knows about money and those that
have It; M. H. Aylesworth, boss of
broadcasting: Gerard Swope, who
makea electric, light bulbs, refriger
ators and turblnea for a living, as
prealdent of General Electrlo, and
dozens of others Including little Roy
W. Howard, who alwaya la brave
and amllea.
He la the man, daring all for sci
ence, who grafted the dead New York
Evening onto the half dead New
York Evening Telegram, and aald to
the world: "Now watch It run." It
doesn't exactly run, but when you
oonalder everything Mr. Howard haa
done well. All hla friends hope that
circulation will Improve, and that
New York merchants will change
their mlnda and advertise In It. Cour
age ahould be rewarded.
Great mlnda unconsciously work
along similar lines. In Washington
one of our deepest congressional
thlnkera decides that no American
ought to make more than 17J.0OO a
year. From anything you earn above
that aa the income tax law now
stands, you must give 80 per cent to
the government. And any corpora
tion paying any American more than
79,000 a year is not allowed to de
duct the excess amount in Income
tax account. If you Inherit your
Income and don't work for it, you
need not pay the tax.
That la going far in a country sup
posed to encourage especial ability.
but tho wood Wurtemburghera of
Stuttgardt think It Isn't going far
enough. The Stuttgardt municipal
council resolves that nobody In Ger

DOCTORS HAVE TO
Dr. Thorndyke, Dr. Hailey and the
others msy be good, but they're out
classed by a good many medical de
. tectlves whose ex
ploits are not de
scribed In books.
Remember the
case .we reported
here, of the
young benedict
who auffered
with 'a kind of
pseudo hay fever,
an out of season
affection? The
doctor did what
I call keen de
tective work in that case, for sfter
a ahort Intensive study of the data
he found the young man waa aen
aitlzed to orris root and then In
vestigated the young wife's vsntty
equipment and discovered she used
a powder containing orrla root. She
changed her brand, and friend bus
band got Immediate relief.
Then there was the case of the
Washington man who had auffered
almost constantly from alleged hay
fever for two or three yeara. with all
the characteristic symptoms except
seasonal periodicity. The only re
lief he enjoyed waa when he apent
a vacation at Atlantic City, or In
New York city. As soon as he re
turned home his trouble recurred. His
doctor tried nesrly a hundred tests
on the patient and he seemed to be
immune to everything. Then one
day in casual conversation the doc
tor learned the patient kept a par
rot at home. On making a akin test
with parrot feather tbe doctor found
that thla waa the cause of the trou
ble. Folly went away on a long Jour
ney and aa aoon aa all tracea of her
feathera were cleaned - out of the
house the patient found complete
and permanent relief.
There are a lot of similar stories
In which cats, dogs, canarlea, geese,
horses, camera, or their hair or feath
era or "dander" have been found
responsible for the asthma, alleged
hay fever or hyperesthetlo rhinitis.
Pittsburgh physician reports a case
of dermatltla of the right upper eye
lid of a married woman. After six
weeks the left upper eyelid became
affected too. Much Itching and burn
ing with the rash, worse mornings.
Lady aald she alwaya alept on her
right aide with her head burled In
a long bolster. On the ssme bolster
her husband's head lay beside her.
The lady had recently tried a pro
prietary "hair tonic." but ehe applied
It only a few tlmea and then gave up
in good spirits, the decision of the
people.
Beating a man la not admirable.
Word comes of the serious Illness
of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, who has
suffered an attack of paralysis. Many
women, who don't know It, have rea
son to" hope for Mrs. Belmont's
prompt recovery and long life. In her
prime, possessing unlimited money
and opportunity for enjoying idle
ness, Mrs. Belmont began her "votes
for women" and never oeased con
tributing energy, enthusiasm and
money until the fight waa won.
Men continue their attack on dis
tance, the law of gravitation and the
Atlantlo ocean. Lou P. Relchera, of
Arlington, N. J., la on hla way, as
thla la written, across the ocean,
bound from Newark to Paris. He
started, hoping to make the 3500
mile trip In 17 hours.
Msny do not realize It now, but
this and other flights mean that the
regular, commonplace traveling time
between Now York and Paris will be
leas than 13 hours long before ta
day'a bablea are grown men.
If you got through Friday success
fully, you have, according to the su
perstitious, not much to worry about
for the rest of the year.
Friday, the thirteenth, waa a com
bination that wont occur again dur
ing 1933. On such a day, all the
queer thlnga that have no existence,
but have been much more real In
the minds of millions than nlne
tentha of all the realltlea, are aup
posed to come out and do their work.

factory. But her husband, being a
thrifty man, began using It on his
head and be waa atlll using It reg
ularly. According to analyses of the prep
aration made yeara ago by Dr. Wiley
It contained a quantity of arsenic
and also a phenol derivative, prob
ably resorcln. A later examination
of the atuff by one of the etate
agriculture departments ahowed It
still contained considerable araenlc.
The doctor therefore advised both
husband and wife to take a thorough
shampoo, to discontinue the use of
the bolster and the "hair tonic." This
brought about prompt recovery of
the patient.
The murder atory writers say the
perfect crime la the one nobody dla

ious medical casea escape recogni

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Ear Wax
What do you recommend to soften
ear wax so It can be easily washed
out? (N. L. A.)
Answer Better leave that little op
eration to your physician's skill. Gen
erally agreeably warm water contain
ing a tablespoonful of soda (salera
tus) to the plr.t is used. This must
be allowed to run from a blunt noz
zle into the ear canal, from a reser
voir not more than a foot above
the ear, and the flow from the ear
canal caught In a receptacle,, held
under the ear.
Eye Bath
Kindly let me know what Is best
to use for an eyebath. should one
bathe the eyes twice dally? (Mrs. W.)
Answer External washing Is suf
ficient. If any eyewash la used, bet
ter use normal salt solution.
Cryptorchidism
I have a son 6 years of age with
undescended gland. When Is the best
time to operate for this? (S. S.)
Answer If the gland la In the In
guinal canal, now la tbe time to
operate. If it la retained In the ab
domen, wait until some acute symp
toms Indicate operation your phy
sician ahould Judge that.
Plantar Wart
Please Inform me whst causes
plantar wart, a foot Infection, what
precautions ahould be taken, and how
it should be remedied. (H. V. H.)
Answer Warta on the sole of the
foot are no more infectloue than
warta elsewhere and require almllar
treatment. Do not confuse plantar
wart with a patch of tricophytosls
(ringworm or "athlete's Itch.") X
ray gives excellent results.
the convention will be that acquired
by a apeclea of opportunism, such as
is possible in Oregon, if the Ore

for France they will have the atatua
of maverick delegates at Chicago. For
Oregon delegatea to the national
convention are under formal pledge
to support the preference for presi
dent aa expressed by their psrty'a
members.
This la one occasion when ' party
votera ahould understand their prer
ogative. They are not bound to vote
aolely for candidates whose namea
are printed on the ballot. The name
that la written In has the same
standing in the count as haa the
printed name that la given the ap

FIRE & AUTOMOTIVE
INSURANCE
ON A
BUDGET PLAN
Thla agency has realized for some time th great need of a plan whereby property'
owners would be able to pay for their fire Insurance on a budget plan. After considering
several plana we discovered this plan which haa the very features we have been looking for
safety, dependability and reasonable cost.
In fact, the finance chargea for he budget plan are almost nil. So low that you wtU
hardly believe that it la possible. The examplea below wlU prove this to you. '
NO HIGH CHARGES ONLY
6 ft Simple Interest
Based on Simple 6 Iutcrest, the Flat Charges are as Follows:
20 DOWN, BALANCE IN FIVE EQUAL PAYMENTS : The charge '
for budget plan only one-half of l1 of total premium.
Example: Premium $40.00 Total Finance Charge, 20c.
Down payment, $3.00 Note for five payment of $6.40 each.
20 DOWN, BALANCE IN EIGHT EQUAL PAYMENTS: The charge
for budget plan is only 1 of the total premium.
Example : Premium, $200.00 Total Finance Charge, $2.00.
Down payment, $40.00 Note for eight payments of $20.00 each.

Albert hates and fears hla father,

Albert likes his mother. She Is

to make thlnga easier for htm.
And Albert himself? At 18 he la

of boys with personalities more posi

makes it Impossible tor his son to
emulate him In any way. If tbe
father la a highly successful profes

If the father la athletic and strong
his son will have no Interest In sports

pointed out the fact that the law did'
not permit pubUo schools to teach
horticulture and that we had no
funds for that purpose. I also sug.
geated that these boys might be In
duced to help their parents In grow
ing gardens at home.
Mrs. Schelffelln plainly ahowed aha
did not like my action In thla mat
ter, and I presume ahe atlll holds It
against me.
