Temperature: Highest yesterday ea Loweat this morning . 411 Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. AH unidentified automobile races through the picket llnea estab lished by "striking" farmers near Cherokee, Iowa. Ouna blaze from Its Interior, and 14 of the ptcketera are wounded. Rumora fly about that ten thou sand angry men will Irmlt Cherokee county to avenge -the wounding of thise men. MILO RENO, president of the Na tional Farmers' Holiday associ ation, which la sponsoring the strike, rises from a sickbed to declare: "This movement will go on. It arises from the unrest of stricken far mers. They are going to win. I ex pect to see a blockade all over the nation. It can't be atopped." If there la a blockade all over the nation, there will be other shootings and probably many deathe. THIS writer, who sympathises keen ly with the plight of farmers all over the nation and regards Im provement In farm conditions as essential to the recovery of business, DOESN'T, believe that the farmer's Ills can be cured by strikes and blockades and the violence that un avoidably accompanies such enter prises. IN California, as ' these words are written, Tallant Tubbs Is leading Senator Shortrldge for the Republi can senatorial nomination by what looks at the moment to be a rather impressive lead, although the friends of Shortrldge assert that he will win out In the final counting Tubbs is an ope,i and avowed wet, and campaigned on that Issue. Short rldge. on the other hand, Is the In cumbent, and so hss suffered under the handicap which ALL Incumbents In office suffer under In political years of discontent such as this. So you may draw your own conclu sions as to the deciding factor In this particular contest. CHICKENS really do go to roost " during total eclipses of the sun. This statement Is vouched for by Mrs. I. E. Raymond, of 358 Hillside street, Klamath Falls, who tells this writer that when she was a child In Wisconsin, more than 70 years ago, there was a total eclipse of the sun and the chickens went to their roosts under the Impression that night had eome. THE wife of Captain J. A. Molltson. who recently flew the Atlantic from east to west, announces that he will NOT fly back, thus completing the round trip, as he had planned, but will return to England by steamer. Observe that It Is his wife who makes the announcement. They hsd been married only three weeks be fore he left on his westbound flight. Apparently she ressons that It Is bet ter to have a live husband who Is reasonably famous than a dead one who Is EXCEEDINGLY famous. NBSERVE, by the way, that the announcement Is given out by "Amy Johnson," rather than by "Mrs. Molltson." Generally speakln;. It Is wives who are more famous than their husbands who keep their own names. 8o perhaps the lady, who It a filer herself, hss hopes of fsme on her own account. K - JIWAJOR James H. Doollttle, flying his racing plane over a meas ured course above the great Cleve land airport, attains a speed of a little better than 393 miles an hour, which Is faster than any man ever traveled before. This was his average speed over the entire distance. On one lap of his course he reached a speed of 208 miles an hour, or nearly FIVE MILES a MINUTE. It's getting to be a fast age, Isn't It? OOMETHINO like seven months was required for the ox team pioneers to travel from the Missouri river to the Oregon country, back In the days when the West was In the making. If Majrr Doollttle could sustain the speed he made yesterday at Cleve land, he could cover the samo dis tance in about seven hour. The world la surely mo'.lng.
