Thla can be done by the almple process of declaring a moratorium on hooey, (tailing, ana pounding the table till the little fin' ger busts, In a spasm of self-glorlfl-catlon. It Is claimed there la no way to tell the worthy poor from the un worthy poorof which there Is also too many and the home worker from the transient toller. It la as easy to distinguish the worthy poor from the unworthy poor as to tell night from day. The former la always trying to do something, and the latter Is al ways trying to make a speech, den- Bouncing all things. It la no more difficult to tell a home worker from a transient toller than It la to tell an African lion from an alley tom cat. Another thing: The worthy poor 1 not an artist at using the sym pathy gag, and never stoops to petty gyps to corral a dime. A liberal and sympathetic public stands ready to assist to Its limit the worthy poor. Now It Is giving signs of being weary of Impositions imposed upon thla class by those who through long ex perience with self-caused poverty, are slickers In the grabbing and the get ting. It should be no mighty task to take care of both classes amply, and In accordance with their de serts. That there should be poverty In a world that has too much of everything la the sad note. Michael Hanley and Thomas Far- low of Lake Crk. towned Wed. Mr, Hanley kept talking about the long and the short'of the depression, taxes, hay, cows, etc. A 2-man mob gathered suddenly late yesterday on the Main Stem, and by way of delightful ohange, blamed a portion of their personal, and the world's woes on the Oregonlan, In stead of Hoover. Blaming the Ore gonlan -was all the go at the tail end of the tantrum for free-electric-Ughts. e The Underling of one of the Older Olrla has announced his Intention of rushing to the rescue of the Older Olrls. He la not fooling any of the Older Qlrls, or your corr. except that the latter has no Idea which one of the Older Olrla he la trying to Im press with his heroics. The Older Olrla are aU able to take cue of themselves, it la claimed. The- aame wave of economy that wept over thla county, resulting In a net loss of S32.000 jn federal funds, hit the state board of agriculture square between the eyes, and as fruits thereof, the state fair will hold a bull fight Instead of stud horse races this fall, regarding which the atate fair head says: "There will be nothing objec tionable to the bull fights, and the bulls will not be Injured In the least. The whole purpose wUl be to teach the farmers how to dodge bulls something they ought to know for their own pro tection." To the above, the Salem Capital Journal subscribe, with the reserva tion "They are using the wrong kind of bull." So do we all. Pew farmers are ever able to beat the political buU to the fence and, during the last primary, many were severely gored by the bull and seemed to enjoy It. The farmers should be In structed on how to dodge the bull also, how to quit fooling himself. how to tell which la correct the of ficial figures on county affairs, cr those presented by a hungry candi date, and not to believe a He, be cause It aound sensational. In pass ing. It might be mentioned that a great number of city folks, supposed to pe smart, are poor hands at dodg ing the bull. Both city and country should be Instructed on how to dodge nutty notions, for Instance, free-eleo- trlc-llghU. e e There wiU be a "Oo-to-Church Sunday In October not that any body needs It.

Glorious weather air like a cool mountain spring. So we hasten to amend our judgment of the Middle West climate by admitting, good weather can be produced some of the time. Everyone is talking about the stock market again and newspapers are featuring the rise in stocks on their front pages. The universal inquiry is "what does it mean?" lias the market actually taken a turn for the better, or is this brief ascension to be followed by another crash! The best evidence that the worm has turned is the universal belief that it HASN'T. As so many experts have maintained, the depression is going to end, about three months before anyone realizes it. Perhaps when this is pub lished stocks and commodity prices will be in the doldrums again. But if not, if a steady upward climb . bas actually started then look out for Presi dent Hoover. IIo can say what he likes in his acceptance speech. We can argue as we wish, about issues prohibition, farm relief, for eign policy, tariff or what not with business on the upgrade until November, nothing can beat Hoover, and with business no better or going down, noth ing can elect him. Presidential elections are decided, not by what the people think, but how they feel. How they feel on the first Tuesday in November is going to deeido the political fate of this country, tha next four years. This will not pre vent the campaign orators how ever, from taking the credit to themselves. The Chicago Tribune makes a novel political suggestion It claims the supreme issue in this campaign is governmental expense i. e. taxes. It asks its readers to drop party lines in this campaign, and defeat all candidates for congress, who have voted for higher taxes, regardless of the party label. Tt asks its readers to support only those candidates who have opposed increasing federal ex penditures, or who are pledged to a program of stringent fed eral economy. Behind this movement it places the "National Organiza tion For The Reduction of Fed eral Expenditures" which it declares will place nil candi dates on record. No one denies federal expen ditures must be cut, so must stato, oounty and city expendi tures. Had President Hoover had his way, federal expendi tures would have been cut, far more than they have been. Theoretically the Tribune's suggestion is an excellent one, but practically it won't work. now many people of Oregon for example would vote against Jenkins' Comment (Continued from fags una ) milk, for butter and cheese making. The point Involved la that the or dinance requires all milk to be plain ly marked on the bottle cap with Ita proper grade. Thus the customer knows always Just what he Is get ting. Almost Invariably, oustomers come to demand Oracle A milk. IP YOU want to get an Idea of what modern milk Inspection means. Just recall the conditions under which milk was produced on the av erage farm a couple of decades ago and Vien compare these conditions with those prevailing In the dairies coming under inspection her In the Medford district. Then go out and visit some of these dairies, aa Mrs. Fahtlck's crew did yesterday. You will com back sat isfied that milk Inspection Is a mighty fin thing. - A FEW days ago a friend of thla writer was telling of the Illness of two of his three chlld.en. It was a serious Illness. V-iit gar bun much. JfEDFOTtD MAIL Senator Steiwer, for securing federal appropriations for his own state f How many people of Illinois would vote against Senator J. Ham Lewis for the same reason! We demand economy in local government for that is near home, but we don't demand economy in federal govern ment, for that is far away and foolish as it is, the fact remains, that by and large we still regard Uncle Sam, as a sort of liberal handed and feeble minded Santa Claus. We demand economy for other dis tricts, but never for our own. So candidates we fear will continue to point with pride to the money they have filched from Uncle Sam's pocketbook, to be spent for the folks back home. Yet every dollar secured means higher taxes, and with 48 states doing the same thing, the total assumes terrific pro portions. This attitude of the Ameri can people must radically change, before the Chicago Tri bune's organization for the re duction of federal expenditures can get half way to first base. Speaking of first base, the Corn Belt flaming youth or what's left of it listens to the big league baseball games while they drive io the country club or to the Junior League tennis tournament. Every sport road ster has a radio on the dash or steering post. At night o course they drive to crooning from New York or jazz from a Chicago night club. No doubt a sign of old age, but we would no more have a radio in our oar, than take a pair of danc ing pumps to a fishing trip on Rogue river. Did we say flaming youth! There's a lad next door, who on our last trip was a flamng youth, a junior in an Eastern college. He is a graduate now and like all members of the class of 1931 is a charter member of the unemployed. This is Monday wash .day. And at the house next door it IS wash day. As this is written this young college graduate, in rowing shirt and shorts, a fine speci men of athletic manhood too, with a cigaret in his mouth is carrying out a basket full of fresh wash, while his mother and sister 'are helping him hang them on the line. Who said there was no bright or cheering side to this depres sion. Only a few doors further south an ex-bank president his bank and five others failed six months ago is mowing his own lawn. Up the street, one of Rockford's ' leading archi tects, is not only his own gar dener but is selling flowers. Rockford has taken an awful rap, but the next generation and this one is going to profit by it I Experience is a hard teacher, but the lesson its pu pils learn, are never forgotten. R. W. R. mental suffering and cost a lot of money. , . Questioned as to the cause of It, he asnwered: "Oh, I got economical and started buying bootleg milk from an uninspected dairy. The doctor telle me this milk carried the Infection that started the trouble." N THAT experience, you have th whole atory of milk Inspection. Milk Inspection la designed to In sure pur milk to the consumer. Pure milk doesn't carry disease. Thus health Is protected and Uvea are sav ed especially the Uvea of babies. This writer, for one, believe firmly In rigidly Inspected milk. History Of Parks Will Be Compiled CRATKR LAfCK NATIONAL PARK. (Spl.)

TRTBUXE, MEDFORD, Today By Arthur Brisbane 'A Drive In L. A, People and Things, Two Watermelons, 25c, Will Rogers' Ranch- Copyright King Features Bynd., Ino LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10th. After a soul has Rpent a thousand years in paradise it probably forgets to wonder, and no longer mentons the marvels of the place, pave ments of gold, walls of jasper, that strange beasts talk, or the red, black, white and gray horsemen. So here in California, after one hundred visits, you take for granted that which amazed you and exhausted your adjec tive Rupply on the first few trips. The flowers, sunshine, sky, the beauty of the ocean and the mountains are not to be de scribed. You must see them. A drive through this city, out to Hollywood,' off to the right among the hills of Beverly, and on down to the ocean over those hills through one of the fine roads built along the can yon walls is, or ought to be, a part of every American's edu cation. You cannot possibly imagine what this country is. There !s "ogress, then a check, then further progress. But ALWAYS progress. There wilt be ten million people In Los Angelea and the little group of auburba around It before existing lives shall end. There will be fortunes made here, far beyond the dream of avarice, which Is saying a good deal In Amer ica. Come and see, remembering that In California the summer season Is the best season. -M- Here, Individuals and things, not dull news, Interest you. Los Angeles does everything In a determined, solemn and "big" way always. A famous picture opening here la aa serious a matter as the enthronement of an emperor In old Bysantlum. The other night' Lob Angelea gave a great opening FOR A BILL BOARD, a new kind of Wllahlre bou levard near Western avenue. There was muslo amplified and heard for miles, there were lights that made you blink, and thousands of auto mobiles blocking the roads. Two beautiful young Hollywood ladlea In Spanish costume turned the pages of the bill board which waa arranged to open like a book. , A Interesting aa the bill board were the watermelons displayed this morn ing on the road that leads to Carl Laemmle's office In Universal City. 1 Those, watermelons were really al most la big around aa old fashioned beer kegs, and you -could buy two for 3V cents. Carl Laemmle has made many great pictures and says pictures making now are better than ever. Hla health Is restored after a seven. Illness and he Is fortunate In having a son, Carl, Laemmle, Jr.. to carry the load. Carl Laemmle's career Interests young gentlemen who would like to succeed but would like to do it easily. Working Intensely for 11 years In a store In Wisconsin, he managed to savo 43300, exactly 300 a year. He Invested the sum In moving pictured, and haa since made one million dol lars In a year and more. But, young gentlemen, please ob serve that if he had not SAVED $300 a year for 11 years, he would never have made a million dollars In one year, would never have been In moving pictures. Next stop after Universal City la the Will Rogers ranch, rolling up and down over mountains that over look the Pacific. You meet Rogers leaving the Olympic exhibition of highly trained horses and overhear a sample of his real Oklahoma Eng lish as he addresses another cowboy: "0i, boy, 4hem's horses." You might say It In more stilted fashion but It would aound less convincing. Will Rogers haa turned his ranch. stables, exercising grounds and polo field over to the United State army horses, disposing of hla own half hundred horses elsewhere. Just out side hla door an expert la "barbecu ing" beef and mutton, cutting steaks shaped much Ilka a flat dress suit case. Many children axe disposing of the barbecue, assisted by army offi cers. Borne, well known, are there: Mlas Btllte Burke (Mrs, Zlegfeld) and her daughter, Mrs. Ned McClean. of the Washington Pnat; Mrs. Harriet Blaine Beale, daughter of James Q. Blaine, and some others.

Not that material modification of the diet 1 not advisable for many mature adults who have or are training for some such ill. But what do you expect for a dime, anyway? Older boys and girls who feet that they are a bit stale probably need an Iodln' Ration, and If they ask us to mall the Instructions for taking the Iodln Ration along with the rheumatism booklet It won't cost them any more. Speaking of diet and rheumatlz, the character of the diet haa some thing to do with those degenerative changes that occur In individuals Just past their prime. Now please do not push or shove folks.

Certainly It Is absurd Attack on Judge Norton Is Cited as Last Straw Under the caption, "Will This Cure the Medford Cancer?", the Bally Courier of Grants Pass carries the following editorial on the attempt to recoil Judge Norton: "Medford, once the metropolis of southern Oregon, of late has fallen from her high estate, but something haa happened In the Bear creek city that very likely will ring the knell of Medford's troubles and start her upward again. "That something la the unwaxrant d, asinine und probably suicidal at tack upon Circuit Judge H.

Will Rogers' career reminds you that we wast sympathy on the poor red man, supposed to have been de prived of his lands, his horses and hla position In America. Two Ameri cans, well known, are deacended from "Poor Lo," one, Mr. Curtla. Is vice president of the United States; the other, Will Rogers, has avenged hla Indian ancestors by getting together 50 ot the finest horses, hunters and polo ponies, tn this country, also uitto'.d areas of the most valuable real estate in America. He would not care to have you say how many millions that real estate Is worth. Mr. Rogers always haa some one thing that Interest him violently.

The wet-dry issue didn't cut any ice In Kansas at the primary. Three men running for high offices In this state on an avowed wet ' platform, failed to get anywhere. Joseph H. Brady of Kansas City, who made a lot of noise on a "Vote A You Drink" slogan; finished & bad third in the race for the Republican nom ination for governor. Tom Harley or Wichita, who la an able citizen In every way, was flfith In a field of seven for the Republican nomina tion for senator. Chauncey B. Little of Olathe saw George McGill double the vote on him for the Democratic nomination for senator. These were candidates who went out to capitalize wet sentiment in Kansas to their advantage. They found the voters strangely indiffer ent to their pleas. Nobody cared about the prohibition subject as re gards these offices, save that where ability was equal the majority vote went to the dry candidate. This should be a tip to aspiring office-seekers for awhile yet in Kan sas. If they want to get anywhere with the public, they should stick to the dry side. A state that has gone along with John P, St. John and prohibition iawa for 60 years isn't ready to flop over to the wet side even if the Democratic party did adopt a dripping plank at Chicago.
