The Valley Democracy has trotted out Judge Kelly and Port Neff, two veteran orators, to challenge the Hooverltes to a debate on the politic al Issues. They are a formidable pair, and ought to give a Republican who never made -a speech In his life, a lively tussle, for a few minutes. The debate should be confined to the is sues, and, not wander afield, and argue over where Mose Barkdull, a downtrodden Democrat, got his new suit, or why the Red Cross haa not done lta duty and shaved off J. Frank Wortman'a primary whiskers. WILLAMETTE VALLBY NUTS HAVE WORMS (Salem Statesman) Same Here. ' A "Back To The Soli" movement has started here If the other fellow hu plowed and planted.

If you have col got the money to pay for them when they come, for Clod's sake and Humanity's sake stop getting them." The situation In Belott, Mich., is described by tho Dally News of that city as follows: "We are living In the mldt of a stench that disgusts every decent and honorable citizen. Shame sits upon our brows like a fresh crown of thorns. Our faces blush when ire think of the good men whom we as voters repudiated. Our fair city Is mocked In the market pdaces of our neighbors, decency Is outraged, and honorable men are embarrassed to explain how It came to be." The benighted Beloltera should move here, where they can Involun tarily wallow In the same mesa, but the climatic conditions are much bet ter.

The annual Institute of Poli ties is being held at Williams town, Mass. It is entirely a non partisan affair, devoted largely to lectures by experts. On Saturday last, the sub ject was the depression, its causes and cures. Two experts, professors of economics, gave their opinions; one Dr. Walter McLaren of Williams college; the other Professor John H. Williams of Harvard. They both agreed that the Hoover policies had been bene ficial and had they not been in force, conditions of .business and unemployment would have been much worse. Dr. McLaren said: "There is nothing new in the Hoover doctrine, it is as old as Alexander Hamilton. Namely that tho correct method of deal ing with a depression is to pour into the bands of the capital istic class funds which may be used for the stimulation of busi ness with tho hope that some of the funds will trickle down into tho hands of tho mass of the people. This plan unques tionably has taken us out of the red into the black." Said Professor Williams : "The usual theories of the business cycle no longer ap plied. The collapse of our bank ing machinery, of the bond market, the inability of busi ness even to get credit for its normal requirements, this and miich else created an emerg ency in which it was essential for government, the ultimate source of credit, to come to the rescue. "Under the circumstances the formation of the Recon struction Finance corporation, by President Hoover amounted to a stroke of genius. And, to express a personal conviction, I think President Hoover and his aides should be retnined to carry out tho program." We wish all our readers would remember that. But our guess is not one half of one per cent will. Most of them will see it is something about pro fessors and politics, and prob ably run their eye down tfie column to see if there isn't something snappy or amusing in the editorial correspondence today.

For the election of a President is mportant, the re turn of prosperity to this coun try is important, and the final decision rests with the people of this country in November. The people all of them should be interested in getting all the facts obtainable, and making their final decision in accordance with the facts in short interested in making their vote an intelligent one. The views of these two pro fessors should aid them mater ially, in this direction. For their opinions, are undoubtedly hon est opinions, free from political bias, and should have more weight than the common run of opinions, for the same reason that the diagnosis of a compe tent doctor regarding a sick person should have more weight than the opinion of a' layman, or idle gossip on the street corner. In short these opinions are expert opinions. They may not be right but there is more rea son to believe they ARE right, than to believe the opinions of either enemies of President Hoover, or his partisan friends. Here then is an answer to the familiar claim that things couldn't have been worse than they have been under Hoover, it also destroys the basis of the widespread feeling, that while a change in parties might not make conditions better, such a change, eould NOT make them any worse. So we are going to ask our readers once more to read over those two opinions and try to remember them. They should make far more votes for Hoo ver than party platforms, po litical promises, or harangues over the radio. "In fact if we had anything to do with the nn'tional Republican campaign we would have these opinions put in pamphlet form and dis tributed throughout the coun try. But we haven't, and dol lars to doughnuts, the views of Dr. McLaren of Williams and Professor Williams of Harvard, will never be heard of in the country at large, throughout the campaign. R. W. R.

Pox heard of experiment, conducted in Ohio, and tried them out thla year with aome of Oregon's producers, he told poultrymen today. He found that good year-old hena put on all-night lights will lay enough more egg. during the winter to make It profitable to use the extra electricity. There la a catch to It for the her however, aa they are hurried off to the butcher In tha spring when they tire of rapid egg-laylng. But pie-fs are higher when production la being forced.

Three days more of Olym pic games after tonight. v Today tho 14 year old Japan ese nchoolhoy Kitamura, show ed western people how to swim. "Buster" Crabbe of the Unit ed States who won the 400 meter championship yesterday and Jean Taris of France, won dered which of the two would win the first heat of the 1500 meter event, Kitamura ended their wondering by swimming ahead like a ical, leaving :hem to fight for second place. National pride was soothed by Miss Lenore Knight, Ameri can girl who established a new Olympic record, winning the thirdeat of the 400-meter free style championship and Miss Hclene Madison of Seattle, probably the best woman swim mer in the world. It la a pleasure to aee how Miss Madison puta on apeed when Mlas Maria Phlllpsen-Braun of Holland or some other lady trlea to overtake her.

I am finding out by visit ing these branchea what la th mat ter with ua at headquarters. If any part of a man's body doesn't work well, you know something is wrong in his head. If branches In a big or ganization don't work well, that showa something wrong, not with (he branches, but with headquarters. By visiting our branches I find what is the matter with my own methods, and with headqiiartera generally," Today Prosldent Hoover, was form ally notified of hla nomination and tomorrow you will read hla hopeful answer to the notification commit tee. Wall street and the grain mar ket did not wait for the official no tification and arranged something on their own account, that haa brought cheer to many. The President might celebrate the notification admirably by urging those In .charge of the reconstruc tion finance corporation to grant to Los Angeles and twelve other cities that make up this water district, a losn for construction of an aqueduct from Hoover dam to Los Angeles, and the other twelve cities, , This loan would put 10,000 men to work Immediately, here, and give work to thousands of others In fac tories all over the country. It would be difficult to Imagine any better use of publlo money than building this great aqueduct, and no loan could be safer. Mr. John O. Bullock, member of the water district board of dlrectora, composed of unselfish cttltena giv ing their time without compensation, haa prepared an Itemized list which has been sent to Washington of ma erlsls that would be purchased, en gineers, laborers and mechanics that would be employed, If this loan were made. This writing follows a awlft return trip to the writer's alfalfa ranch at Hodge on the Mojave desert, 134 miles to the east and 3000 feet up tn the air.

Ad dress Dr. William Brady In car ot The Mall Tribune, TREATMENT OK IVY POISONING, Poison Ivy leaves are always tn the form of three little leaves on one stem, the two opposite leaves hav-1 lng short stalks and the middle leaf a long stalls, all three being' on a long stem. The leaves are j usually c o v ered j with velvety hairs j underneath, and , bear one or two notches on one I side. The ivy I vine, shrub or bush bears amah yellow ish -green flowers In spring, and later In the summer small round smooth green fruits, which In autumn become Ivory or white and remain on the plant till winter. Kerosene sprayed on the Ivy will destroy It, often with one thorough wetting. If ycu suspect you have come in contact with poison Ivy, an excellent preventative remedy Is plain gaiine, used to sponge the exposed akin care fully, by means of pledgets of cotton or bits of cloth wet with 'the gas ; and mopped once or twice over the skin and discarded not re-apptled, for the gasoline dissolves the Irritant and would carry It back to the skin. One of the most popular first aid remedies for Ivy poisoning Is photog rapher's hypo hyposulphite of soda, formerly called thlosulphate. Dis solve one end one-half ounces of thlB In a pint of water, and use It to bathe the affected surfaces or appf It on compresses of cheesecloth or linen, which should be kept con stantly moistened with the solution all day or all night. Another first aid application which has been praised by many victims Is a solution of tincture of Iron chlo ride In water or rather a mixture, half and half, which should be used to bathe the exposed skin aa early as possible and may be repeatedly ap plied for the first day or two. There Is considerable evidence that the Internal use of a homeopathic dose of poison Ivy will render a sus ceptible person Immune. Indeed, many readers have assured me tnai mey have acquired immunity by actually chewing or eating a wee bit of poison Ivy leaf, or In some cases a poison Ivy berry two or three times In the sum mer. If any one Is disposed to try this I caution him or her that only a small fraction of a leaf should be taken the first time, say a piece the size of the head of a pin. If this cause no local reaction. In a week try a piece the size of a grain of rice. After another week try a whole leaf. The following formula haa been used with apparent success by many susceptible persons: Ten per cent Tincture Rhus Toxicodendron - 15 drops Qlycerln - 3 drams Syrup of Orange, enough to make 3 ounces Take one drop after each meal, In water. Increase the dose to two drops second day, three drops third day. etc., and after one week continue taking a teaspoon ful In water once a week till the season Is over. It Is only fair to say that I have had report of two cases In which severe Tou can buy good hay, a little coarser, in the Imperial Valley for $5 a ton. Trucks and trailers that haul the hay run day and nlgAit, two men on each truck, one sleeps while the other drlvea. Both work, load ing and unloading. One man re marked cheerfully that he had not had his shoes off In ten days. Men work for a living these days; many would be glad to work for their board, here aa in many other statea. You can .hire "servant girls" in Los An geles for $5 a month and board. This is not a place to come looking for a Job at high wages. Coming west, passing the biggest pea canning factory tn the world. Just east of Ogden, Utah, you learn that ordinary workers formerly paid 80 and 70 cents an hour now get 18 cents an hour, 91.80 for a 10-hour day. Skilled mechanics get 32 cents an hour. Don't come here booking for work, but tf you have a small Income and want to live economically, thla is the place; On the way1 to Hodge, you see "two large cantaloupe 1or S cents." You buy two pounds of string beans for 6 cents, peaches and plums for 1 and 3 cents a pound, lemons S cents a doz en, oranges el&nt dozen for 35 cents. One lady who Uvea at Hodge said: "You can fill the back of your auto mobile with vegetables and fruits of all kinds for 60 cents. It docs not pay to plant a garden. Wild animals that depend on no body to hire them are fortunate. On the fine concrete road east jf Vlctor vlUe you disturb a buzzard, peace fully eating the remains of a rabbit crushed by an automobile.

On the cool banks of the river Rogue, I while the hours away. As the river rushes to the sea. In endless hurry, day by day. The bending branchea touch the stream And swing and dance with glee, While the little fishes Jump and play To the tune of the humming bee. In mid of stream a fisherman stands And silently casta his line, While all about him Insects hum And seaweeds their arms entwine. I hear the call of the meadowlark, As It playfully beckons to Its mate, And the distant mooing of a cow. As she patle'ntly stands by the gate. The moon comes slowly over the hill. Led by a twinkling star; Fleecy white clouds go drifting by, Coming, It seems, from afar. Let me linger yet for a peaceful hour, Away from the rush and the stir; Let me breathe the air uo fresh and sweet, At the foot of this aged fir. Here let me alt and dream awhile. And forget all my worries and woes, And watch the moonbeams kiss the stream. As the birds go to quiet repose. Anna E. Wicklund Jenkins' Comment ("Continued from Ph&e One ) of the automobile Industry, where registrations fell off nearly 100,000 cars. These figures mean, plainly enough, that when people have money they buy cars, and when they don't have money they don't buy. In the city of Washington, which Is supported large ly by government payrolls, which didn't fall off last year, people went on buying. In Michigan, where the payrolls come from MAKING CARS, buying dropped, off more heavily than any where else In the United States.
