HEBE la a curloua and rather hu

of the day: "Chicago Milkmen In

What It means la the Chicago Milk
Drivers1 union will pay to the lamliy
of any of lta offlcera who are mur
dered by hoodlums, or gangsters, or
whatever you choose to call aucn
gentry, the sum of 15,000.
That la a curious situation because
auch things aren't done generally,
and It la humiliating because It 1
terrible reflection on the state 01
organized society In these modern
pdays In our great cities.
HARRY AMSLEY, of Amarlllo, Tex.,
author of an article entitled: "I,
Like the Depression," which has had
rather wide circulation, la hit by an
automobile to the street and dies as
result of his Injuries.
He DIDN'T like the depression. No
one does. So he told an untruth
when he said he did.
Jf you are superstitious, or believe
In retribution, you may draw the
conclusion that he was hit by an
automobile and killed because he
trifled with the truth.
' -
STILL, If everybody who trifles with
the truth were killed, the popula
tion would be sadly decimated In a
little while, wouldn't It?
HORACE M. ALBRIGHT, director
of the national parks, Is author
ity for this rather Interesting state
ment: '
California Is the only state In the
union that requires visitors to the
national parks to buy a etate fishing
license. If they want to fish.
That Is Interesting for two reasons:
I. Because no one supposed that Cali
fornia, of all the states, would dis
criminate against paying guests, and
8, because relatively few of us knew
that we could fish- Ik? Crater Lake,
here In Oregon, without buying
license. 1
Still, don't refrain from buying a
license Just because you can fish In
Craler Lake without one. It wouldn't
pay, If you like to fish.
RATR. ALBRIGHT, by the way, re
1VI gards Crater Lake as one of the
most Important of the nation's parks,
and has elaborate plans for Its de
velopment. If national park appro
priations are maintained on a scale
permitting future development.
Lassen also, he says, la a more Im
portant park than most people real
ize, and when Its development Is com
plete will attract thousands of people
every year where now It attracts only
hundreds.
We of Southern Oregon are glsd
to hear that, because Lassen National
park la In Northern California, and
the Interests of Northern California
and Southern Oregon are Identical.
Whatever benefits one benefits the
other.
ANOTHER Interesting statement
msde by Mr. Albright during his
recent visit In Southern Oregon:
At the Orand Canyon, they are now
sending out guide-conducted airplane
parties to view the wonders of the
canyon at esse and with speed.
The rubberneck wagon system, you
see, has been extended to the alr
plsne. ' '
DEPARTING somewhat from the
national parks. Mr. Albright made
this surprising statement:
'There la much complaint of the
high coet of the national government.
But of the approximate four billion
dollars spent annually by the federal
government only a little better than
800 millions go for actual govern
mental functions.
"About a billion dollars goes for
veteran relief. Another billion goes
for Interest and principal on the na
tional debt. Something like unother
billion goes for the army and navy,
So three billions of the four are ac
counted for by wars, past and future.
"Another half billion Is represented
by such cspltsl expenditures as high
ways and by the postal deficit. leav
ing only around a half billion for the
actual maintenance of governmental
functions.
Rather surprising. Isn't It?

tary Raises New Theory
EXECUTIVE CHAMBERS. ALBANY,
N. Y., Aug. 16. (AP) The name or
Betty Compton, the actress, was un
officially linked with the "unknown
person" of the Walker Investigation
today when Mayor Walker, answering
reporters' Inquiries if It were Miss
Compton, replied :
"Who do you suppose It was7"
"You told some reporters during the
noon recess that the 'unknown per
son' was Betty Compton, did you
not?" the mayor was anked by a re
porter. "I was asked," the mayor replied.
"If it were not Miss Betty Compton
and I answered 'who do you suppose
It was?' "
The mayor said he was restrained
from any further comment by the
ouster hearing procedure before Gov
ernor Roosevelt, which has not re
corded the identity of the "unknown
person." ('
Was Woman Friend.
Mr. Walker, himself, testified that
the mysterious individual to whom
Russell T. Bherwood paid money, was
a woman, friend. Until he revealed
that much of the identity, the "un
known person" was officially known
only to Samuel Seabury, chief counsel
to the Hofstadter legislative commit
tee, and committee members.
The governor waa close to making
public the womans name when, ln
terrogratlng Walker about the trans
fer of Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit
stock by Sherwood, missing account
ant, to the unnamed person, he in
quired: "I ask you if you know the name
of the person to whom the stock was
transferred."

Foots Creek," "without Investigating
lta truth or falsity," and that the
same was "maliciously false and de
grading," and "Incited and Inflamed
the lawless element, in the neighbor
hood of where the plaintiff lived."
The plaintiff alleges that the arti
cle accused him of "Bobbing sluice
boxes," and "dynamiting mine dams",
and that blackmail threats were both
written and spoken, and alleges fur
ther that threats, were made against
him and his family.
The suit today is the fourth to be

SIOUX CITY, la., Aug. 18. (AP)
Armed forces of the law were organ
laed today to maintain order In Iowa's
farm strike, while leaders of the
movement sought lta spread to other
states.
Officials and civic leaders called
for the deputizing of 100 unemployed
men to guard the highway against
any outbreaks of violence. Their de
cision followed rejection of a plan to
ask for declaration of martial law to
deal with the situation, which has
been marked by picketing, boycotting
and threats designed to withhold pro
duce from the farms until production
costs, plus a fair profit, are assured.
Hlonx city Roads Blocked.
Sioux City bore the brunt of the
movement. All roads were blocked
by the ''strikers" and all trucks were
stopped.
At Leeds, near here, one milk truck
went through the farmers' lines, but
pickets smashed the windshield. Two
of the drivers suffered cute on their
faces.
Meanwhile reports came that almt-
lar strike movements were under way
In four other states South Dakota.
North Dakota, Illinois and Nebraska.
In Illinois the strike waa declared
effective by E. B. Kennedy, secretary
of the Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union of America, who said
the sale and delivery of farm products
by members of the "farmers' holt
day" would cease for 30 daya.
To Keep Roads Open.
Early today Sheriff John A. Daven
port said 60 of the 100 deputies had
been sworn in, with Instructions not
to attempt to Interfere with the strike
movement. Their duty, he added,
would he to preserve order, and pre
vent the blockading of roads leading
Into the city.
At Des Moines the Farmers' Holiday
association concluded a secret session
last night with the adoption of a
statement which reiterated the group's
demand for higher farm prices and
declared that any attempt to deny
the farmer a return covering the cost
of productions "Is an attempt to force
the farmer Into a condition of virtual
slavery and la contrary to the spirit of
the thirteenth amendment to the
contsltutlon. which prohibit Involun

MOTHER AND BOY
IN GOOD HEALTH
IS FIRSTREPORT
Little One Arrives Five
Months After Kidnaping
and Murder of First Tot
Betty Gow to Be Nurse
ENOLEWOOD, N. J., Aug. 16. (AP)
Another son was born to the Charles
A. Lindberghs today, bringing happi
ness back to a home long darkened
by deepest tragedy.
Five montha and 16 days after 20-
months-old Charles Augustua Lind-"
oergh, Jr., was stolen from his crib
to meet his death while all the world
sought him, the second baby was bora
at o:so a.m. (eastern atandard time).
Mother Doing Well.
Only the fact that the second son
had been born was immediately avail
able, but It was generally understood
the baby and Its mother were both
in good health.
The child waa understood to have
been born In the Dwight W. Morrow
home where the first baby was born,
and where Mrs. Lindbergh Is known
to have been, up to the past day or
two. Mrs. Morrow, Mrs. Lindbergh's
mother, waa present having recently
returned from Europe.
Although no statement was forth
coming on this point the probability
waa considered that the new baby's
nurse would be Betty Oow. the Scot- .
tlsh girl who was the first baby'i
nurse and who first discovered the
kidnaping.
Miss Gow waa questioned at length
after the kidnaping aa were all the
Lindbergh servants and her sailor
suitor, Henry Johnson, waa detained
and finally deported. The Lindberghs
always expressed complete., faith . in
her. She is at present on a visit to
her home In Scotland.
Silence From Home.
As the day wore on there waa com
plete silence concerning the baby and
hla mother from the Morrow home
and from the office of Dr. Edward
Hawkes, the specialist who baa at
tended Mrs, Lindbergh for both her
children.
At the Morrow home Arthur Spring
er, secret try to the late Senator Mor
row, said he could make no comment
and did not know where Col. Lind
bergh waa.
At the doctor's office a secretary
declined to call him to the telephone, '
ssld be had spoken to no one about
the case, and denied published re
ports attributed to the office In
which assistants to the doctor were
quoted as saying mother and child
were doing well.

15. 'Witnessed the closing of
the most impressive and sue-'
cessful Olympic games ever
held. Kvery part of our coun
try either contributed a runner,
jumper or a spectator. It was
the liest managed and attended
big affair you ever saw. Seeing
or reading about the exploits
of the youth of the whole world
for the last few weeks has beeo
a good thing for everybody.
Now we go from that into
three straight months of politi
cal "Hooey." Records will bs
broken there too. Tou will hear?
speeches that require mors
wind than the Marathon race.
Both sides will commit enough
fouls on each other that if they
were in a game of sportsman
ship they would be disqualified
before election. A politician
will never see the day he can
lose with as good grace as these
boys and girls did. Not an aliW
among 2000 athletes
