Editorial Correspondence
OREGON, Ulinoii, August 16
-Here is the "Columbia River"
drive of Illinois. 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.

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.

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. In

Our word "thug" comes from ft

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

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.

gheen In the Ould Country. A tea

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

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

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.

Huge Deficit Would Be Re

Smaller Interest On Bonds
Issued During World War
By M. K. Whlteleather
PARIS (AP) Conversion of war
and subsequent loans which It Is
estimated will lighten the treasury
burden by about $48,000,000 annually
Is being prepared by the French gov-
ernment.
Louis Germain-Martin, minister of
finance, is handling the bill. He re
cently told the chamber of deputies
that the government esteemed con
version one of the necessary elements,
of the attempts to plug the holes,
which have been costing the national
treasury enormous sums.
Budget Dericlt Biff
Lucten Lamoureux. reporter of
the chamber budget committee, be
lieves an extra session could be called
In .September to authorize the act.
The government has forced thru
parliament a finance bill whtcn
makes a $102,000,000 stab at balanc
ing the budget left over by the Tar
dleu regime. The budget deficit for,
1932-33 was estimated at about
$160,000,000 before the new bill was
voted.
Four and one-half per cent Is men-,
tloned as a probable rate for the con-
version of loans which now pay 5,
6 and 7 per cent. Seven issues are
convertible, the 1915-16 war 5's, the
1920 victory 5's and 6's, two 1927
issues at 6. a 7 per cent 1927 Issue y.
and some 1928 5's.
The government is expected to al
low bondholders the choice of hold-'
ing what they have or taking new"
bonds at the lower rate.
Point To England ,
Financial experts have many times,
stated that the interest on state bor-.
rowings was too high for these days,
of reduced interest rates. Before the.,
war France borrowed money for 3 and'
3Vi per cent.
When Great Britain announced Its
conversion scheme from 6 to 3'j per
cent, the Herrlot government felt lts
could safely point to Its neighbor '
across the channel as an example of
what should be done. '
France converted its war loan after
1870. Others were reduced In 1894
and 1902.
