There seems to be considerable life left In, the Republican party of the nation, Judging by the merciless manner In which the Columbus, Ohio speech of Franklin D.

The motorist instead of riding along the cliffs and looking down on the river, rides along the river and looks up at the cliffs. It is a very pretty drive, through fer tile peaceful country, not a hill to go up or go down, just a winding concrete highway, along the bank of Rock river, with limestope bluffs here and there covered with luxurious oaks and elms and maples, and now and then views of Rock river from the car, very much as if one were in a boat floating down its placid and muddy surface. This isn't the land of the big red apple, but it IS the land of the big red barn. Why all barns in the middlewest or almost all of them are painted red we don't know, and haven't been able to find out. One suggestion is, red paint is ch japer than any other, but the barns were red when farm land here was selling for $200 an acre instead of $20 as at pres ent. Another is red comes nearest the farmer's heart, and so does his barn. Perhaps that's it. At any rate the last part of the statement ib correct. In this country the house may be sad and dumpy, but the barn is, always GRAND I The only farm without a red barn between here and Rook ford is the farm of Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, former co i gressman from Illinois, the daughter of Mark Hanna, the wifo of the late JTedill McCor mick, and the woman whom the usually chivalrous J. Ham Lewis, treated unchivalrously and gave a terrible beating in the race for the senate. The barns on the McCormick estate are not red but a light yellow with white trimmings, and tin cupalos that look like Korean peasant hats. A huge estate, over 2000 aores, largely woodland, although there are small olearings for fields of corn and grain and pasture. A sign at the entrance informs the motoring publio .this is Rock River Farms, producing certified (raw) milk and (non fertile) eggs, the owner MRS. ALFRED SIMMS 1 According to our informa tion Ruth Hanna McCormick was delighted to have her name painted out and Mrs. Simms painted in, but no one else in the Rock River valley was. Mrs. Simms (Ah, yes, and Mr, Simms) are enjoying an exten sive honeymoon abroad, and the hard working proletariat of the Rock River valley don't like that. They may not stop here on their return but go di rectly to their new ranch in New Mexico, and the proletari at of the R. R. valley like that less. This dislike incidentally is shared by the bourgeosie, and the nobility, for Mrs. Al fred Simms, nee Ruth Hanna (post-nee Mrs. Mcdill McCor mick) has been a very good angel for this part of Illinois, and a very gonerous bencfao- tor. When the Rockford news papers got iuto difficulties Bhe came to their rescue, bought them out and consolidated them, placing the various and sundry former owners on easy street. Then she built a fine new building in Rockford (the only one constructed in 1932 by the way, with the ex ception of the new post office) and she offered to save three banks by buying them out be fore the crash came, but a stuf fed shirt in one of them, who said he wouldn't sell his bank to any woman, saved Mrs. Simms considerable money. - But this Rock River farm of Ruth Hanna s has been a gold mine for the people of the Rock River valley, NOT for MfS. McCornuck, ZvfSX. ?w new improvements have been put in, regardless of expense not hundreds of dollars, but literally hundreds of thous ands. And that helps. It helps any time, but it would spell sal vation for many business men in the valley this year. Rumor has it Mrs. Simms no longer loves her Rock River home and considering what the people of that section did to her election day, who can blame her! And she DOES like New Mexico, and her New Mexico ranch, and her New Mexico husband and that is where she is going to live most of the time hereafter. And in a year or so this continues to be rumor she intends to elect her husband senator from New Mexico (he is or has been con gressman from that state). So Ruth Hanna that was will dem onstrate she is a true daughter of her father, who had a repu tation for getting most things he went after. The next thing to being in the senate yourself, would be to have your "better half" there. A person from the Pacific coast visiting the Mid West for the first time would be amazed at the rivers and creeks in this part of the world. They are as full of mud, as an orange is full of juice. Such a thing as a clear river or stream is un known. The far westerner wouldn't like it but the mid westerners don't mind. They are used to it and they know the condition that causes mud dy streams is the condition that makes this the greatest farm ing district in the world. That mud is rich soil, the rivers don't run through mountains and rocks, they run through deep loam and fields. For cen turies these rivers have been flowing to the Mississipi and to the gulf with tons and tons of soil. Perhaps Brother Brisbane can figure out how long that can last before the Middle West gets down to bed rock. R. W. R. i. Ye Poet's Corner OUT OF WORK (By Bertha Qerneaux Woods.)

Bonfils Has a Mammoth, Copyright King Features Synd., Ino SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Aug. 22. This is written on the Union Pacific "Los Angeles Limited, Number 8." On the way from California to New York. Since last night the train has crossed California from the Pa cifio, running over Santa Fe tracks to Barstow, then on Union Pacific tracks through Nevada, and on through Utah. When the train arrives at Salt Lake City at 5:15 p. m. this copy will go to the telegraph office, and the writer will stop off to call upon Senator Smoot, whom the republican party in Utah, has wisely renominated by acclamation. Fortunate Utah la represented by a man whose mind la concentrated on UTAH and THE UNITED STATES. He does not worry about Esqui maux, ladlea and gentlemen of Cape Town, Czecho-Slovaklana, or the Brit ish or French. He believes In pro tection, because that mean better Uvlng for the men and women of Utah and all of the United 8tatea.

You welcome such an Intelligent visitor. . She quotes Martin Luther, and Ooethe, and Schiller's "du blst lmmed waa du blst." "Thou art al ways what thou art." She rebukes young people of our d&y unsuc cessfully trying to be something they are not. She la ft widow, her name la Mrs. Elisabeth Beauchell, and she Uvea In Beverly Hills, while her daughter at tends the University of Southern Cali fornia. The daughter does not quite know what she will do when she leaves the university, teach school perhaps, Cut she Is quite certain that ahe will NOT marry. She Is mistaken about that.

BELLYACHE PROPER IS NOT ONLY EMBARRASSING BUT ALSO MISLEADING None of the organs or other struc tures contained in the upper body cavity (chest) or lower body cavity (abdomen) has sensation. There are no sensory nerves supplying these organs. The pain you think you feel In your stomach, appen dix, colon, heart or lung Is actu ally felt In the Intercostal nerve, a sensory aplnal nerve which supplies the skin and muscles of the body wall. Any pain you feel below the diaphragm Is bellache proper, tor tt la actuaUy felt In the abdominal wau. The Internal organs- are entirely without ordinary sensation to pain or discomfort, even the brain. If the abdominal, chest or ekull -wall be anesthetized, any necessary operation may be done on the organ or on the brain without producing pain. But neverthelesa the utmost care and gentleness In han dling these insensible structures, es pecially the avoidance of all stretch ing, tearing or pinching of tissues, Is essential In any such operation, un der local or surface anesthesia as well aa In operations under general anes thesia, lest the patient suffer danger ous or fatal shock. Anesthetics be numb only ordinary tactile sense and sense of pain but do not affect the autonomic, sympathetic nervous sys tem which preside over all Internal organs and their functions. But that Is physiology and path ology, and before you can learn such things you must know a little ele mentary anatomy. Here In the In terest of better education I must de plore once again the failure of our common schools to give every child a course In human anatomy aa a neces sary foundation for the next year's course In physiology, both subjects being the minimum essential prepara tion for a fair, understanding of a high school course in hygiene. Communicating flbera connect the sympathetic ganglions or substations. which are situated In front of the head of the ribs close to the spine, w.th the spinal nerves, the nerves of ordinary tactile and pain sensations. This connection account for the sense of pain In the body wall when the source of the trouble la In the Interior where there la no ordinary tactile or pain sensation. Close under each rib one of the spinal nerves extends around the body wall, giving branches to the muscles or skin of chest or abdomen. These are called Intercostal nerves (between the ribs). Pain In one or more cf these nerves la caused Intercostal neu ralgia, and more than once such pain ha led to grave error In diagnosis, even to operation for What proves to be only phantom "appendicitis." Where the signs elicited by examin ation of the patient are not con sistent with the complaint of pain, the careful physician endeavors to exclude Intercostal neuralgia before through the cold wln.jr months.

This unpleasant new Item sent by the International News Service, cornea from New York: "The murdered bod ies of two more men, bearing the trade mark of the national murder syndicate were found today." Our word "thug" comes from ft murder organization that terrorized India for a long time. Our word "as sassin" cornea from the name of Has aan, contemporary of Omah the tent maker, who made assassination his business. Among certain savages, as the "American Weekly" telle you you travel In danger of the "leopard men" that wear skins from the real leopard, spring out and tear you to pieces be cause they enjoy it. If bootleg crime really haa pro duced a "national murder syndicate" It la time for the authorttlea to do something about' It. , Communications Iverson Point Remedy. To the Editor: I Just have got to answer that com munication tn last night's paper en titled "Tonic of Confidence Needed." I think I know exactly what Is wrong with Medtord. At least, here Is my Idea. In fact, them are ft num ber of thing wrong and perhape I had better letter them, so here goes: A. We had perfect orgy of spend. Ing for a few years, both as Individ uals and aa a community, and lots of the spending waa very unwise: some of It waa unnecessary and some of It was spent like we built one of our local churches. W built a forty thousand dollar building tor eighty thousand dollars. B. Credit was too free and we bought on time or on the monthly payment plan and loaded ourselves down with such heavy pajtnenta that we are none of us able to pay. This spplles to Individuals and community alike. The consequence la that every last thing we own la plastered with a mortgage or contract or a bill owing and every cent we can possibly scrape together has to be paid out on past activities or bmlneu and we cannot do any new business, and most of this money la Immediately sent out ol town and Inst to us; and as a conse quence of that our credit (that la ft Uite factor tn business la all snot full of holes, ani owing to the fact that we are all unable to psj our oommltttlng himself. One teat Is palpitation while the patient bal loons the belly and holds It si physician will understand the sig nificance of this test; laymen will not. A mild pinching of a liberal fold of akin and fat In the affected area causes a normal person or one with aerloua trouble no particular discomfort, but Is painful to one with Intercostal neuralgia. Anemic women often complain of pain "In the heart" which Is In fact only Intercoatal neuralgia. Pain felt now In the belly, now In the back, la usually Intercostal neu ralgia. Pain felt In only one half and exactly one half of the belly is always neuralgia. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Irish Moss.

Mix with the morning cer eal, before cooking, some Irish moss. officially called Chondrus" In the Pharmacopoeia, and known as carra gheen In the Ould Country. A tea spoonful or two may be taken with the morning cereal regularly, or cook ed or raw by Itself. Makes a pleasant cn&nge from whole naxseeda as a nat ural lubricant. Childbirth. I have four children and am ex pecting the fifth. I dread childbirth terribly. My doctor never uses any anesthetics. Do you advise twilight sleep? Mrs. F. 8. L. , Answer No, twilight sleep la a stu por produced by hypodermic Injec tions of morphine and scopolamine, and la impossible to control, once the dose has been Injected. I think chloroform la the Ideal anesthetic. I suggest that you give your old fogy doctor the air and engage a doctor who believes in newfangled notions. A well trained physician can give you sufficient chloroform to make the ordeal quite endurable, with abso lute safety to you and the baby. A woman is foolish to suffer needlessly under the crude care of auoh a hoes doctor. Insulin. Would appreciate It If you wUl give the name and address of a physician of repute who understand the giving of Insulin as an aid to gaining weight . . . (Mrs. a. D. K. Answer Any up to date physician understands that. Not So Bald As Denuded. Pardon me if I am mistaken, but I have the Impression from a remark Dr. Brady made on the radio that he may be a little bald ... I want to pas along a remedy which was given me by a friend: Equal parts of lemon Juice and castor oil well rubbed into the scalp at night. Yours for Good Health. Answer Thank you. but I'd rather let the denudation go on. However, fresh castor oil Is one of the best oils to use on scalp or hair, when either la too dry. Copyright, John F. Dllle Co.) debts, as contracted and because of the Inability to do new business, every one that haa money coming to them Is hot on the trail of the debtor and will soon precipitate a real panic. What we must do Is for all of us to realize these past mistakes and each one of us try to help the other fellow out of his "Jam." We are all In a real "Jam." and It Is going to take real Intelligent leadership to pull us out of It. C. The unemployment problem Is a factor at present, but not as serious as we are made to believe, this class wlU be taken care of; no one la going to starve, and a great percentage of them are Irresponsible, do not own property and pay no taxes. D. There has been a persistent "panic raid" on rentals; the tenants have conducted a definite raid on rental until they have beat them down to a point below the cost of operation. Statistics and economy shows that the tenant who shoulders his Juat burden, pays one-fourth of hi income In maintaining hi home as rental. E. The lack of a payroll Is a serious problem and one that Is the easiest to remedy If we really want It bad enough; merely let Industry operate partly tax free and give them other tnducementa to come In. F. Taxes are excessive and must be partly borne by other source than real property. Taxes are Just aa high now as they were In the daya of high price. urely the cost of operation must have been greatly reduced and there la a lot of operation that Is not necessary. O. The hue and cry against public officials Is due to what Is mentioned In "A" and I think they see their light. We have a class of officials known as "inspectors" that are still going "hog wild." and should be held down by a firm hand. What I see Is the need of an organi zation of the real backbone of the community, the responsible Individ ual, the real tax payer, the real prop erty owner; a real responsible organi zation of the real responsible people could do a great real ot real work right now. I have heard quite ft tew demands for this and I would sugsest that a meeting of all property owners be held In the new court house soon after September 1 and see If some plans cannot be formulated that can be of great benefit to Medtord. Now, let's hop to It and do some thing. Respectfully. GEO. IVXRSON. Italian Lake Gulps Land. LEPRIONANO.
