TUB DEDICATION
The new county courthouse wu
dedicated today, without any blood
shed. There was no dearth of ora
tory. The itately structure coat 1266,000.
This Is a respectable sum of money,
and was obtained via the O.-O. tax
refund. Many people could use, this
money to better advantage than the
oounty, for things they really need
worse than a courthouse. There Is
some talk of an O.-O. If-you-csn't?
get-me a tax refund bill. If those
who want all the money back they
ever paid for taxes got It back, they
would spend It like they spent what
they now have: for taxes..
The courthouse Is located at a
prominent corner, whereby an ap
proaching autolst has to be possssaed
of television and be able to. look
through a candy store to see If he Is
going to hit an Invisible 4d. The
average speed by this point after dark
Is 69.8 miles per hour, and nothing
Is going to be done about It.
Tho building Is located where It
fills a cavity In the skyline. A tourist
to see it will nave to drive about
nine blocks off his course, going north
or south. 80 nobody will ever know
what the tourists think about It, and
what they really think does not mat
ter. The exterior Is composed of Indiana
limestone, and looks pretty. The sides
are smoother, which will stop 'any
human fly who happens along shin
ning up It, first pawing the hat. The
limestone Is the covering for concrete
walls, which rest upon a firm foun
dation of bedrock. A fool notion can
butt the courthouse and not shake
Jackson oounty to Its very founda
tion. The foundation shaker will be
lucky In the future to ram a goot
through a basement window.
The steps ars wide, and anybody
falling down the same will have
plenty of room, and slim grounds
upon which to sue the county for
physical pain and mental anguish,
and Inability to make it back to Ohio
to see relatives,
The dedication of the courthouse
Is the first event of any consequnce
In local history that did not taper
off with a dance.
The Jail Is located on the roof, and
Is supposed to be very difficult to
get out of, without a good lawyer. In
the summer It will be quite hot for
the Inmates, but It Is their own fault,
as most of them caught themselves.
They knew where the Jail was. lo
cated before they started making the
mash, or kicking In the' back door.
Besides the Inconvenience of being
locked up, unjustly, and the summor
heat, the Incarcerated martyrs and
angels-whsn-caught will have to eat
grub prepared by one of their own
kind. Instead of sentencing an in
nocent man to thirty days in the
county basttle, the court will solemn
ly say: "I hereby sentence you to DO
mesls In the hoosegow, and may your
digestive system hold out.1 The Jail
Is built of the usual Iron bars and

Editorial Correspondence
ROCKFOED, 111., Aug. 27.
Two more men on an Atlantic
flight missing, a family of four
attempting one. As has been
advocated before in this column
there should be some interna
tional law regulating such
flights, or if that is legally im
practical, aroused public opin
ion should be directed to dis
courage them.
Every airplane disaster at
sea, injures aviation. Very few
ocean flights today serve any
useful purpose. In practically
all cases, they are attempted
for PERSONAL PUBLICITY
PURPOSES, . alone, and many
times neither the planes nor
the fliers are fitted for tests of
such danger and severity. In
our judgment no planes should
be allowed to attempt ocean
flights until they have passed
rigjd examinations, both as to
the condition of the plane, and
the competence of the fliers.
Aviation is having hard enough
sledding, without bearing tho
burden of mere publicity seek
ers, whose failures further dis
credit it.
Probably no law could pre
vent single men from attempt
ing ocean flights, but if a gov
ernmental O.K. should be re
quired, even without legal
force, withholding such an
0, K. might discourage many
ill-advised attempts.
BUT ONE THING IS CER
TAIN, children should not be
drawn into "this sort of busi
ness, and UNTIL the risks at
tending ocean flights are
greatly reduced, such stunts as
this one by the "flying family"
should be prevented by law
and backed up to the last notch
by public opinion. Mature in
dividuals attempting ocean
flights iai one thing, parents
risking their own lives and
those of their dofenseless chil

The political metamorphosis
of President Hoover is nothing
short of sensational. Since the
first of May, more noticeably
since the first of July, his po
litical status has undergone a
complete transformation.
From the time of his inaug

months ago the president was
in the position of a political

VALLEY SHE
SALEM. 8ept. 1. (P) A voluntary
strike was declared by 160 prune
growers of Marlon and Folk counties
at a meeting her lost night, when
they unanimously agreed to either
dry their prunes or "let them rot"
on the trees before accepting the $6
a ton offers being made by canneries.
Following discussion, the group vot
ed to hold out for 1,10 a ton as a
minimum selling prloe.
w. O. Wlnslow, chslrman of he
group, said that so far as a 'strike"
wss concerned, he would not coun
tensnce any violence or Interference
with any person, as such action
would do more harm than good.
Wlnslow atated that It was "steM
Ing" to buy prunes at tlS a ton.
Ths growers mslntaln that eft a ton.
which Is being offered by the. can
neries, would barely cover the Fak
ing and delivery cost.
It was brought out at the meeting
that for s, two-pound csn the coat
of the tin Is four cents and nt io
a ton the cost of prunes to till It
is only one cent.
The dried prune market la said to
be "looking up" and severt.1 Urge
growers present stated thut they
planned to dry their crop.
Railroads Featuve
Oregon Products
During Convention
PORTLAND (Spl.) Three rail,
roads which will carry legionnaires
to the nstlonal convention in Port
land this month have sheady agreed
to co-operate with the American Le
gion Oregon Product committee by
featuring Oregon products on their
dining csr menus during September.
The Northern Psclflc, Orest North
ern, and Southern Paclflo have al
ready conceded to the suggestion of
Kenneth O. Miller's, secretary-treas
urer of the committee,
To have high quality Oregon pro
duct used In all ths hotels, restau
rant and dining cars Is the primary
purpos g lieglof, commute,
on all sides, cut off from his
communications, hard pressed
to prevent complete annihila
tion. Everything went wrong.
One defeat followed another.
There seemed to be no way out,
hut to raise the white flag and
surrender.
Then the political conven
tions were held. President
Hoover received renomination.
Franklin Roosevelt was select
ed as his opponent. That was
the first break for the presi
dent in nearly three years, for
the governor of New York was
undoubtedly the weakest man
the Democrats could have
selected.
That was the first turning
point. The second was Presi
dent Hoover's splendid accep
tance speech. Since then not
only has President Hoover com
pletely changed, but the politi
cal situation with it.
For since then President
Hoover, as leader of the politi
cal "Lost Battalion," on the
defensive for three long years
and hopelessly so suddenly
ASSUMED THE OFFENSIVE.
With a self confidence and an
aggressive leadership which
surprised even his ardent sup
porters, he led his forces over
the top, in a brilliant counter
attack, which to date has swept
everything before it.
Regardless of what the final
outcome may be, there is no
doubt that from now until elec
tion President Hoover will
have a moral advantage almost
incalculable in its political
benefits. He will have the same
advantage in this political war,
that a commander has in actual
war, the advantage of the de
fender that has become the ag
gressor; the underdog that has
suddenly sprung a surprise at
tack and for the first time sinco
the struggle startod secured a
strangle hold on the top of the
heap. "
With political parties as with
armies, the one that changes
from the defensive to the of
fensive, has a tremendous
advantage over the one forced
to drop the offensive, and go
back to the defensive.
If President Hoover can
"hold it," (and that's a BIG
if) there is little doubt he will
win the final battle in Novem-

Eclipse, the Yak.
Are We Going Downhill? '
Atlanta Says No.
Copyright King Features Synd., Inc
In New York City, where
this is written, overlooking the
East river, Brooklyn bridge
and some skyscrapers, the
eclipse did its best against
clouds and haze, and office
boys, printers, pressmen, re
porters and odds and ends of
editors on the roof looking thru
smoked glass were satisfied
with the performance.
Then appreciate health when
sickness comes. Many, yester
day, appreciated the sunlight
when it suddenly departed,
IcaVing darkness that made it
difficult to Bign a payroll.
Human beings, thanks to the
power of advertising, knew
what was coming. Some look
ed, some did not, all went about
their business calmly, in the
brief, comparative darkness.
In the Bronx zoological darkness
there was more excitement. Birds
stopped their cftatterlngs and prepar
ed for sleep. The owl opened his
eyes, hooted and was, presumably,
embarrassed when the sun came back
and silenced him. The sea Hons, reg
ularly fed at the time of the eclipse,
forgot to bark when the darkness
came, concluding, perhaps, that they
had had dinner and forgotten It.
Beavers rose from their underground
holes to repair their house.. It had
been purposely damaged, to see what
they woum do. They soon went be
low, much puzzled' by the shortness
of the night.
A baby yak, born' while the. eclipse
was on, will go through life celled
"Eclipse." In .Tibet, home of his
mother, where yak butter mixed with
yak hair may be found In every cup of
tea, such an eclipse would cause wild
excitement, and Immensely generous
contributions to the thousands of
Buddhist monasteries. The latter
would get "11 the credit for bringing
back the' sun.
The "Apostle of Doom," real name
Robert Reldt, and of Freeport, Long
Island, Is disappointed today. Like
the owl and the beaver, he took the
eclipse too seriously, predtctd an ac
companying earthquake that would
destroy New York, and tacked on to
one of his other prophecies the itlem,
"Europe will demolish the United
States In war."
Seven years ago this same prophet
predicted the end of the world. He
was sure of It yesterday, but the
little moon passed In front of the
big lamp and that . was all.
More ssd news concerning our fate
comes from an important German
magazine called "Querschnltt." It
says: "We don't believe In America
any more."
"Querschnltt" agrees with othor
European authorities that we have
lost our energy, our resources are
limited, we ,have become conserva
tive and are on the 'road, to decad
ence. -e-
As for our resources, when you con
sider that this country within a few
years will have paid out twenty-one
thousand million dollars to war vet
erans, alone, you realize that we have
some resources.
And when you consider further that
our oil Is practically Inexhaustible,
while our gold and silver supplies
have been barely tapped, you are
Inclined to assure "Querschnltt" thst
we shall probably go along as "the
land of opportunity" for some time
to come.
One day Europe tells us: "You are
so Ticfi that you ought not to ask
payment of ten thousand millions
that we owe you." Next day we are
told that we are decadent, on the
down grade, "we have lost confidence
In you."
Atlsnta, Oa., reports more cheerful
days In the south, with cotton and
tobacco recently rising In value "on
paper" by five hundred million dol
lars. President Hoover Is told by Impor
tant steel men that recovery In the
steel Industry Is Just around the
corner. Cold, cynical Mr. "Bugs"
Boer says the difficulty 1 to find the
corner. It seems certsln, however,
that conditions are getting better,
perhaps because they could not get
much worse.

GRANDMA REVEALS HOW SHE KEEPS HER
GIRLIS H FORM
Stout women, she says, should keep
their feet on the floor while fasten
lng their shoes and they should make
a practice of pick
ing up everything
they drop by bend
ing at the waist. I
am a grandmother,
but it Is as easy
for me to stand
with the palms of
my bands resting
on the floor as It
Is to stand erect.
Many years ago I
read that a stout
woman could slenderize by tearing
paper Into bits, scattering it over the
floor and then pick it -up. bending
from the waist for each piece of pa
per. I didn't tear the paper but I
have made It a practice to bend from
the waist. I have free hip action, or
as they say nowadays, I have no hips.
Another little habit X believe has kept
my ankles slender and flexible Is ris
ing on the toes, wnat you call heel
and toe drill, I believe. I do this for
a few minutes every morning and
every evening. W.hen I see young
girls with flabby large ankles and a
tendency to run over the shoes I wish
I could tell thm about tftts exercise,
for I am sure It helps one to carry
herself lightly and gracefully.
I regret the young woman does not
mention corsets. Corsets, foundations,
girdles or whatever they call the
braces, supports or splints which on
one pretext or another are foisted
upon girls In the teens .hasten the
development of the dreaded dumpi
ness or uncouthness which this lis
som grandmother has so well fended
off. Such accouterment much dis
courages the activities described.
In spite of the universal experience
of modern times, the quaint fancy
still prevails that it Is necessary or
advisable that the girl budding Into
womanhood wear some such harness
to mold or restrain Jier natural
growth to the lines prescribed by
fashion. Fortuntely, as faint glim
merings of physiology peneterate the
benighted feminine mind this legend
is fading away.
Young women who desire more
definite Instructions for exercises to
keep supple may find the Third Brady
Symphony helpful. A copy will be
mailed on receipt of your request,
with a dime and stamped envelope
bearing your address.
Besides bending at the. hips to
touch the floor with the fingers, or if
possible with the palms, other help
ful exercises are lifting the legs

ber his great energy and those that
saw him recently, when he overcame
the booing galleries In the Democrat
ic convention In Chicago, know that
be still has plenty of energy left for
his work.
Bandits with deadly weapons tn au
tomobiles have appeared near London
and that old fashioned city Is excited.
Scotland Yard puts a ring of detect
ives and policemen around the big
city, examines cars on bridges and
highways, really shows Interest in the
fact that crime Is organising Itself.
We don't take things as seriously

slowly to vertical as you lie on your

Sucvh exercises should be done only
two or three times at a seance at

morning.
The heel and toe drill Is valuable
not only to keep the ankles strong
and slender but to prevent pronated
feet and flat feet. Pronated feet are
weak feet which turn In at the an
kles; this is the early stage of falling
arches or flat feet. The heel arid toe
drill should be done with bare or In
stocking feet. First rise on toes, as
high as you can, then slowly down
and pull the toes up so that you
stand on heels, then slowly down and
repeat. Always toeing In, rocking to

Kerosene Cured Collie's Cooties
Our collie caught fleas a year ago.
We tried many expensive remedies
without success. Finally we applied
coal oil after It had stood in an open
vessel for three days. (On standing
exposed to the air the kerosene seems
to lose gas and Its property of Irri
tating or burning the skin). One ap
plication cured the dog of his fleas.
(D. J.)
Answer. Thank you. But what I
asked for la reports of experiences of
people who have found kerosene (coal
oil) a satisfactory remedy for their
own ailments. When a dog or cat
has fleas It Is Important to treat the
cracks of the floor or the bedding of
the kennel to destroy flea larvae.
Flake naphathalene Is good for this,
especially If the room or kennel can
be kept tightly closed over night. The
naphthalene may be swept up next
morning and used over again as
needed.

ROGUE RIVER AREA
COLD FOR RECALL
Circulators of the petitions seeking
the recall of Circuit Judge H. D,
Norton, continue to seek signatures
throughout the county, with scant
success. Stockmen of the county
were a special point of contact, the
past week the six months' sentences
meted to Kirch Peile and Victor Go
ble. Trail cow thieves, being a talk
ing point, along with the usual sym
pathy plea.
In the Rogue River district, pur
ported a hotbed of the recall senti
ment, 29 names were secured, after
an Intensive drive in the Wlmer and
Evans creek districts, according to
reports.
Claims of backers of recall plot,
that the petitions contain more than
1000 names, 'do not coincide with
the known sentiment against it. The
recall Is now generally regarded as a
political revenge maneuver, with dis
gruntled litigants as the circulators.
The claim that 200 names had been
secured In Josephine county was also
regarded as propaganda.
