IRS. ELSIE LETMING, Ralph Hill's
teacher In hl senior year at
the Henley high school, said jester
day to this writer:
"I'm as proud as anyone could be
of the lame Ralph has won. But I do
hope he will look for his future to
his head, rather, than to his legs."
HERE'S a lotofeound philosophy
In that remark,
ny a famous
young athlete h
;otten that It
Is what
head that he
for his achieve-
long years after his

hen that happens, It Is a pity.

npHIS writer, however, has nigh
hopes for Ralph Hill.
A fine sense of sportsmanship us
ually Indicates a good, clear-thlnklng
brain a brain capable of separating
the important from the unimportant
and getting down to essentials.
' The very fine sportsmanship which
Ralph Hill displayed In that trying
moment when It seemed that one of
the world's greatest athletic honors
had been snatched from his grasp,
perhaps unfa-rly, la pretty fair proof
that he has that kind of brain.
BPHE lumber Industry Is admltted-
ly In bad shape.
But this writer, who Is NOT an old
timer In Oregon, has seen the lumber
Industry In bad shape before. And
every time It has been In bad shape
It haa RECOVERED. It will recover
again.
The big days of the lumber Indus
try are NOT over.
FOR the past month, a large motor
dealer has carried In one of
Southern Oregon'a leading newspa
pers EVERY DAT an advertisement
offering a used car at a special and
attractive price. As to the results of
this campaign, he says:
We have sold more than half of
a
a
all the cars advertised, soma of them
within an hour or so after opening
up In Uie. morning, and In addition
we've had hundreds of live inquiries
."om which we've sold many care not
advertised.
"There isn't any doubt that people
read advertising and ACT on It."
TJEOPLH have read this advertising
for two reasons.
1. Because it haa contained newa
of Interest to the general public.
3. Because it haa appeared every
day, thua causing people to look foi
It regularly.
G
V
GOOD advertisements always con
tain nircji.
And don't forget this: News isn't
luslvely concerned with murders
sudden death and scandal. In-
rrriatlon as to things that you want
'that
that are for aale and the prices at
which these things may be had is
ALSO news.
IP you wsnt to get results from your
sdvertlslng, put NEWS Into your
advertisements, advertise as often as
you can afford, and carry your ad
vertisements at regular Intervals, so
that people will form the habit of
looking for the news contained In
them.
1JEPEATED aurveya prove that the
comic strips are read more wide
ly' than anything else that appear
In the newspaper. This writer will
risk & small bet that you look often
er at the comic than at anything
else appearing In this newspaper.
And the comic strips, you will note,
.appear EVERY DAT. Because they ap-
kar every day, you get Into the habit
looking for them. You know they
'ill be there.
Th same principle holds good as
to adrertlslng.
T may interest you to know that
next after the comic strips, In
wspapers the size of this, comes the
all, news ot the doings of local
people, which In this newspaper Is
eaded: "Local and Personal."
That Is to say, people are more ln
rested In PEOPLE than In anything
.. and they are more Interested in
eople they know than In people
ney don't know.
And It may surprise you to know
-.at next after the comics, the local
ews and the editorials, people read
dvertlsements that appear EVERY
and contain news ot Interest to
people.

Trainload of Bartletts Out
This Week As Peak of
Crop Nears Police No
tify Foreign Car Owners
The first trainload of 1933 Bart- I
letts from this valley Is expected to !
leave this city the end of the com- '
lng week for the New York city mark
et and Is expected to reach the east
after the California crop has been
exhausted.
A few carload shipments of Bart
letts made east the past week will
be in cold' storage there until mark
et conditions Justify v their offering.
Three cars of Bartletts have been
shipped this week to Portland for
export shipment.
The Bartlett picking and packing
season will get under full swing this
week in all orchards and plants of
the valley. Packing plants will start
at full capacity Monday with one or
two getting undeway Tuesday. The
Bartlett season is expected to last
a couple of weeks. Local yard switch
ing service has been Inaugurated by
the Southern Pacific.
Harry Moore, manager of the un
employment bureau, said there will
be further check of th packing plants
for a census of California workers.
Local state police heads had no
comment to make on the tirade
against the state department hurled
Saturday. Captain Lee M. Bown left
for the north Saturday on official
business. Drivers of California li
censed cars, engaged In gainful oc
cupations were advised, as usual, to
procure Oregon licenses or be sub
ject to Oregon traffic regulations.
Herbert Martin, 29, of Ruch, was
arrested Saturday and charged with
operating an auto without proper
Ucens plates and with selling fish
without a license. State police who
made the arrest allege Martin was
driving a car with California license-
plates and making a house to house
canvas.
Local Workers Favored.
In practically all of the packing
houses of the city and valley, with
one and possibly two exceptions, lo-
cal labor predominated, with . fewer !
California workers than In several
years. Signs have been posted In
many of the plants serving notice
that all applicants must show county
work cards. Many of these cards are
being checked to see that no deceit
was practised in the procuring of the
cards, or In the obtaining of the sig
natures of two taxpayers, as re
quired.
Packers said Saturday that the
labor supply exceeded the demand
and that several of the plants were
operating "100 per cent local labor."

F. Scott McBride. general superin

both presidential candidates "In their

attitude toward the continuance ot
the eighteenth amendment which we

"One is for modification; the other
Is for repeal," he continued. "We
favor neither."
"Our major task as to the coming
campaign," he said, "la clearly pre

men, who In the last analysis have
sole responsibility for amending the
constitution.
"We will support those candidates
who stand definitely 'Committed' to
opposition to either repeal or modi

"We will fight both repeal and
modification In the next congress,
and if by any chance the drys are de
feated In congress, which Is the first
line ot maintenance, we will fight
on in the states and In congress at
every turn of the way until the lin

A decline In arrests tor drunkenness

by Deets Ptckett, research secretary

on the basis of statistics which he
said were gathered by the govern
ment at the request of a member of
the senate.
The figures, giving totals by the
year from 1910 to 1930, and reduced
to a rate per population, were based
upon reports from B5 cities of more
than 2500 population In 1910, the
number of municipalities reporting
upward to 177 In 1929 and 170 in
1930.
The statistics cited an Increase In
the number of arrests per 10,000 of
population from 173 In. 1910 to 190
in 1917. In 1818, 1920 and 1921 there
were declines to 142, 101, 72 and 92
respectively.

WALKER YET TO
TELL RELAT
Missing Accountant Who
Handled Million in Stock
Transitions Seen As Im
portant Link in Quiz
By Lorena Hick ok
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
NEW YORK, Aug. 13. (AP) The
mayor of New York will return Mon
day to the "hall of governors" in Al
bany, there to enter on the final
phase of his vigorous fight for what
he haa termed his "past, present and
future."
A day and a half Mayor Walker has
spent so far answering the persistent,
courteously put, questions of Gover
nor Franklin D. Roosevelt, once his
associate In the legislature.
The mayor has still to explain to
Governor Roosevelt what were his
business relations with the missing
Russell T. Sherwood, accountant of
the law firm with which he was as
sociated before he became mayor.
Held Fiscal Agent
Samuel Seabury, counsel to the
Hofstadter legislature committee, has
charged that Sherwood was the may
or's fiscal agent.
Included In the many volumes of
Hofstadter committee records, which
the governor has admitted as evl
dence In the hearing. Is testimony
indicating that in five ad one half
years, ending with Sherwood's disap
pearance a year ago, the obscure, 35-
a-week bookkeeper handled stock
transactions Involving nearly a million
dollars.
So far the governor has covered
four main points of the "conclus
ions," which Seabury offered with the
record of the committee hearings,
Bond Ownership t'nknown
He asked the mayor about the
$1,000 worth of Reliance Bronze and
Steel bonds and If he knew he owned
them when the company was award
ed a $43,000 contract for traffic light
standards on Fifth avenue. The may
or replied he did not.
He asked him how $26,000 worth of
bonds, Including those of the Re
liance company, came Into his pos
session. The mayor replied the bonds rep-.
resented his profit from a pool, of
the character and Information of
which he knew practically nothing.
Asked About Bus Line
Governor Roosevelt asked the may
or about the Equitable bus franchise,
what interest his friend, Senator
John A. Hastings, had In It, and how
it came about that J. Allan Smith.
New York representative of the com
pany, paid tor a $10,000 letter of
credit and a $3,000 over-draft used
by the mayor and his party on a
European trip In 1927.
Walker replied that, 'while he knew
that Hastings was Interested In bus
transportation, he did not know he
shared an office with Smith, and that
the letter of credit represented a pool
turned over to the late Senator Ber
nard Downing, who In turn had ask
ed Hastings to handle It for him.
Check of the suburban and rural
points where petitions seeking the
recall of Circuit Judge H. D. Norton
had been left, showed the documents
still sparsely signed Saturday or with
no algnatures at all appended, appar
ently Indicating that the scheme has
collapsed of its own weight after
meeting with disfavor among all class
es of people In Jackson and Josephine
counties. General condemnation of
the abortive attempt was voiced wher
ever opinion was sounded In the sur
vey. As near as could be learned, the
circulation of the petitions ceased as
soon as publicity was given them.
None of the petitions made their ap
pearance in OranU Pass, or other Jo
sephine county towns, It Is reported.
The parentage of the petitions con
tlnues a "mystery", and to date no
one has come out flat rooted as
sponsor of the recall, though favorable
hints in Its behalf have been uttered
E. E. Kelly of the Bar association at
tributed It to "disgruntled litigants."
Leading member? of the State bar,
have written letter the past week
expressing "smarement at the pro
cedure," and "high confidence In the
learning and Integrity of Judge Nor
ton." Stork Hovering

cabin on Rogue river, whre they were
to be guents for a time of the Edwin

caused by a blow-out In the left
front tire of their auto. The car was
thrown Into the center of the high

south, was passing. The head-on
collision resulted.
Mr. Knapp and S. Sumptcr Smith,
accompanied by the Gilberts' young
son, Walter, were In an auto ahead,
leading the way to the Hamlin river

dren, when engine trouble developed.
She atopped the car, blocked it with
a atone, and had started to Investi
gate the trouble, when the brakes
gave way, sending the machine over
her. Her children were not Injured.
While Mrs. Gilbert was resting more
easily lnt night, her condition was
still considered critical. An opera
tion to correct Injuries to her kne

the practice of house to house beg

Considerable quantities of garden
truck has been stolen the past ten
days from gardens on the floor of the
valley and In some cases a substan
tial loss haa been sustained by hard
working people. The amount of loot,
indicates that the vegetabales are
stolen on a wholesale scale for sale
in nearby towns, or that some are
laying in a supply, In anticipation
of a hard winter.
With the Increased tomato acreage
of the valley ripening and with a
ready sale looming, the tomatoes are
predicted to be the chief target of
the racketeers the balance - of the
season. Many commercial and private
gardeners of the valley have their
shotguns loaded and handy.
' In one case a small man and a
large woman were seen prowling
around a garden at dr.wn, and an
other band comprised three full

and only a meaker description was se

12. Here is a good illustration
of how these market boosters
can pull a bad one. Farm ma
chinery went up on the stoek
market 'Wednesday. Now there
is not a farmer in the United
States that can pay his taxes,
or his groceries. Now how is he
going to buy any farm machin
ery! He has no more credit if
he wanted to. He couldn't get
a garden hoe, much less thresh
ing machine. He can plow with'
a forked stick and raise more
than he can sell. So that raise
don't look so hot. That's like
Christinas trees going up at
New Years.

they have to knowledge.
