Another brief motor trip to southern Wisconsin and lunch eon with some friends who have been forced, by the de- pression, to become "dirt far mers." What a meal and what sweet corn! (Here is one product by the way in which the Midwest is supreme, and this tribute is from an ardent Pacific Coaster who raises his own.) Even more interesting than the meal was the talk and we believe the latter will be inter esting to our readers. At any rate we are going to condense it in the shape of an interview with the host, as follows: "I bought this farm over 25 years aeo and as you know have used it as a country place Had a farmer and his family on it, all the time, operated on shares, never paid expenses, usually wag in the Ted, but I could afford it. Then CAME THE DAWN! But I won't go into thut. I am 'tired of this calamity talk and imagine you are. Suffice to say the factory shut down, I not only lost my shirt but my plus fours and my job, so we took our children out of school, closed the Chi cago house, and moved bag and baggage tip here. Hated to turn dut Carl (that's the farmer) and his wife, but it had to be done. Didn't open our big bouse here, just moved into his. Here we have been ever since, and believe it or not, we not only like it, we are making money. "Just a minute .before you call me a liar. I keep books and can supply the evidence. I have been here nearly three years and have made money EVERY YEAR. Susan has helped (his wife), so have the children, even Skippy, the baby, has had bis chores to do. But we have had outside help', too, a big orew during the harvest. a man to milk the cows and wash the dishes all the time (we all hate dish washing for some reason) and of course we have electrio ice boxes, washing machines and thnt sort of thing. Nor do I mean I am making money as I used to make money, but I DO MEAN, I am not only making a good living for myself and fsmily, but a little over have money in the bank at the end of the year, and look at me, the misses and the kids, never so full of health and ateam. I even play golf now and then over the week end, but I find handling a pitchfork has ruined my wrist aotion and flexibility. "One thing I can give you straight. For ten years I lis tened to the farmer on this place ouss and moan about the farmer's lot and all that sort of thing, trying to explain why this farm was a luxury instead of a paying proposition, and maintaining us slick city fellers had all the beat of it. Alibi, alibi, alibi 1 "NEVER AGAIN! If I ever leave here and go back to my desk at the pump factory AND I HOPE I CAN, SOME DAY the next farmer that tries to spring that wheei on me is going to get something he won't be looking for, and in a place he least expeots to, I am going to show him there is ona slick eity feller who has been a farmer himself, and ean hit out from tha shoulder, not only with his raw, but with facts and figures. 'THE BAXKKUTT FAR MER MY EYE! Look at the corn, and wheat, the pigs and chickens and cows I have around here. And look at the prices butterfat that was 13 is now 21oi ggi that wera 9 cent are now 17; hogs that were 12.56 are now $4.35 i As for fryers and slaughter stock, Ihe prices never. h.ave. beog bad ! MEDFORD MAIL "The lucky city feller, eh J: LOOK AT MY PUMP. FAC TORY! Not a wheel turning.' You couldn't sell a pump if you put a five dollar bill in every; valve cup. "But you CAN sell bogs;! you CAN sell corn and wheat you CAN' sell butterfat and fryers, every day in the year and for cash money. The mar ket, I tell you, never fails. Prices may be low, but farm upkeep is low if you run it yourself, and remember this, there is ALWAYS a cash buy er. I "don't pretend to be--a natural born farmer, but think I am a fairly good busi ness man, and I claim that is all any decent farm needs. I admit it can't be done without working and being on the job perhaps I couldn't have done it if Iliad had a big mortgage to meet but under any normal conditons it CAN be done, and I have my figures to prove it. Furthermore, I will make this declaration, and challenge any one to dispute it, the farmer in this section to day, with good land who knows his job, is better off, FINAN CIALLY, in every way than any other business or profes sional man in the country! 'Put that in your pipe and smoke it!" We did. We have been smoking" icver it ever aince, and while there must be a catch in it SOMEWHERE, we don't know just where it is. No doubt we shall have to wait, until w talk to Charley Hoov er about it he is the-master mind in fmding flies in the agricultural ointment. In fact, nothing we would like better, than to take this "gentleman farmer" home with us and lock hira in a room with Signor Poa Bulbosa. We wouldn't wager more than a six months snb scription on Charloy coming out first ! Hope our former pump mag nate friend IS right. For if he is, thon American agriculture is fundamentally sound; whioh means the country is funda mentally sound, which also means, the pump business will immediately start to "come bck." R. W. R. Communications Truth About U. 8. Army Air Corns. To the Editor: In an article by Arthur Brisbane, which appeared In the Mall Tribune some weeks ago, ha made the state ment that America's airplanes were poor and defective and that there were none having a speed of over 00 miles an hour. I!e gave aa his au thority for this statement a letter from General Mitchell. Knowlnjt this statement to be Incorrect, I wrote to Washington, asking for the number of plsnee available at the present time, and any Information concornr Ing our country's air forces thst could be obtslned. I give ae authority for the Infor. matlon herein contained, a letter from the adjutant general, Mitjor-Cleneral O. H. Bridges. In which he enclosed a statement from Asslitsnt Secretary of War P. Trubee Davidson. Here are the facte: America's air corps has at the nree- ent time 1.47S serviceable plsnee. The purault plsnee, whjeh are the fight ers, have a speed of well over arm mllee an hour: observation and at tack planes hsve a speed of S00 miles an hour, while bombing planes, the slsweet of all, ee they have to carry 4,000 pounds of bombs end hesvy armament, have a apeed of las miles an hour. One of the most import ant requirements in the fighting plsne Is speed. Planes are being Imoroved. aael. aente are beoomlni less freouent pilots are being trained and the war department Is doln; all It ean to In crease the number of planes, but mon ey Is scarce.

' Earth's Greatest N&ws. Copyright King Features Synd., Ino HEARST RANCH, San Sim eon, Cal., Aug. 15. Helene Madison, of Seattle, champion woman swimmer of the world is at present, four p. ,m., swim ming and diving in the pool on this ranch. She flew up from Los Angeles, this morning, with Royal Brougham of the Seattle Post Intelligencer, and tall, young Mr. Schwegler saw the pool and said "I want to swim." . The London omnibus driver, spent his one holiday in the year, ridjng over his own route, beside another bus driver, en joying the fact that h,e was not driving. Helene Madison en joys the fact that she is swim ming, but not racing. In train ing, she is not allowed t dive, for that stiffens'the ankles that must be absolutely loose and relaxed, for the crawl stroke. You would travel a long way to see that girl champion swim fifty yards at top speed, or dive "swan" fashion, and rise with half her body out of water. Mr. Schwegler, young Seattle giant, feet 4, 310 pounds, swam against Miss Madison, and did not, win, al though he had two seconds start In so yards, and she seemed not anxious to best him. It would -have delighted any eu- genlat to see that young couple. Her last race of the Olymplce did not seem to satisfy Miss Madison. "I could not seem to get going, In the 400 meters," said she. However, she got going weU enough to win the race'egalnst the best women swim mers of the world, and set' a new world record. Canada's agreements with Great Britain on tariff and business prefer ences are published and show that the "trade within the empire" plan has reality back of It. Canada sells to this country more than to all the British empire, and must have considered csrefully, the probable oonsequencea of making ours a decidedly lew favored nation. Production of white paper from quick growing pine in the south, needing only 11 years for regrowth, against 30 yeara f t northern forests, la one of tl.e tM.igs to bo considered. Baby Kangaroos, born here this aprlng, are learning how some of our best stock speculators have felt, since Idas. At first, the little kangaroo Uvea In a pouclt ' on Its mother'a front, Just below the forelegs. As time psases, the baby gets bigger, the pouch does not, and finally the kangaroo baby flnda that he can no longer climb Into the pouch. His struggles are pathetlo, something like a specu- lstor trying to even up; Finally he decides to be a kangaroo on his own account. The apeculator must do the same. In Cannea, on the edge of the blue little Mediterranean, a monkey es caped from a Gypsy camp, went to a fashionable tennis club and Imme dlately bit ' Miss Roeleka Dolly, one of the famous dancing twins and Mlaa Peggy Joyce, alao well known.

PARALYSIS Xf the mild attack or crl, grip, sore If the mild sttack of crl, grip, sore throst or, If you must show your p a r a 1 y sis, you hsve the satisfac tion of knowing at any rate that you have done the best thing for the oh I Id, that Is. if you follow my advice about the man agement of all a u c h Ulnesses and aend the child to bed fr 34 hours at the very first sign of the crl. . It la an excellent rule to confine the patient to bed for 10 days In any case of poliomyelitis, no matter whether there is much or Uttle pa- ralysla or paresis evident at the end of the first week. Incidentally, the paralysis or psresls (weskenlng) of the affected muscles gener&lly does not appear until from 34 to 4S 'hours after the onset of the Illness, and In some cases the paresis Is eo slight as to escape notice, or lasts only a few days snd then clears up entirely snd the patient makes a complete recovery within two weeks. REST Is the sovereign remedy wherever there la even a suspicion of suoh paralysis or paresis. Not only rest In bed for the patient, but physiological rest for the affected muscle group, so far ae this la at tainable. If a limb Is Involved, a suitable padded splint which will support the limb In a comfortsble position of half-flexion,, will give the best REST. Only after the acute feverish atage Is over (it lasts less than 10 days) Is there Justification for any kind of exercise, massage, manipulation, pas sive movements, electric treatment or other measure directed toward res toration of function to the para lysed muscles. Exercise is a good thing 'to pre serve the health. Well oik should have exercise dally. Invalids had bet ter have a care how they Indulge in exercise. Even a Uttle bit of exer cise at the wrong time or under the wrong circumstances may do Irre parable harm, and this Is particu larly true of the management of the paralysis or paresis thst remains after an attack of poliomyelitis. When the time cornea for carefully performed exercise, pssslve or active, then by all mean give the patient the benefit of the special skill and Republicans, because Republican vic tory "will safeguard some of the gains made under the 18th amendment." Let us hope It will not safeguard the gains In bootlegging, racketeering, gangster crime ' and drunkenness among children. .

Communications America's Future Railroad, To the Editor: In your paper of Tuesday, August S, 1932, you published an article about the German-Rall-Zeppelln, a mono rail, gyroscopic balanced construction of a speed of more than 175 miles per hour. Of course the German, Idolizing their Zeppellne, wUl construct, to keep their railroad up to date, a com bination of the Zeppellne airship and the present railroad system. We. as Americana Idolizing our airplanes and automobiles, also see the new era In railroading dawning, and we con struct not only the most up to date, but also the best possible system. We are going to aurpass the speed of airplanea and have our minimum speed at 200 miles per hour, We em body a safety Into the construction to be- trusted by the faintest pf hearts, combined with a comfort un surpassed. A cost of construction and operation low enough to enable the present railroad company to change to thla system, and a fare reduced yet bringing increased returns to the stockholders of the rosd. Busses and trucks will be. as the railroads of the present system are now, without fares and freight and the hlghwiyr will revert to the uses of the private driver, hence taxes for highway up keep will be reduced to the mini mum.- The triple A. double R, will not have a track laid on ties on the ground. Nevertheless, It will not be trackless, nor Is It that Impractical Idea, a monorail or overhead con struction. The main wheels will be of a new type, the proverbial wheel goes and a wheel without a center axle takea Its place, saving from 23 to 40 per cent of power. The weight of car, passengers and freight is no longer a dead weight to be laboriously hsuled from place to place, but win come to Ufa and help transport Itself to It destination. The driving power of the car merely cheers on the weight to do it duty. Special Men's Suits Cleaned and Pressed. . Trousers Cleaned and Pressed White Flannel Trousers ..
