Highest yesterday 'm Lowest thla morning at e Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS I ERE la a good depression story. related to this writer yesterday: Up at Pullman, when the Wash ington agricultural college U locat ed, a man showed up one day re cently and applied for a Job. "I need It," he explained; need it bad. I haven't had a day's work In eight months. "I've sent my wife back to her folks, and I've put the children In . an orphan asylum. Why, d n It all, I'm even about to lose my carl" SPEAKING of depressions, here Is a new way to tell whether times are good or bad comparative sales of tailor-made cigarettes and the kind of tobacco out of which you roll your own; About a couple of years ago, a rather well known figure In the bus iness World acquired something of a reputation by beating t by several weeks the government's estimates of business activity In various parts of, the country, and his figures were surprisingly accurate. Asked how he did It, he explained: I merely take the record of sales of factory-made cigarettes and the tobscco out of which cigarettes are rolled by hand. Where sales of fac tory-made cigarettes are up, business Is spt to be more active and employ ment fairly good. ' "But where sales of tobacco and cigarette papers are up, business Is Inclined to be slower and employ ment less abundant." ' If ERE Is the way he explains' It: "When business Is reasonably good and employment fair, people are Inclined to buy factory-made clg- " arettes. But when business A. not so good and more people are out of work, they economize by rolling their own." f HERE Is a tip If you are touchy about your age, dont let anybody try these new age cards on you. They are simply uncanny. The owner of the cards hands them to you. They are covered with fig ures and you tell him whether the figure corresponding to your age Is on this card or that, and zlpt he tells you how old you are Just like that. The way science Is progressing, there won't be any secrets left be fore long.

Goodman'a recovery shots and brtl Uant putting repeatedly aaved htm as he waged a give-and-take struggle wtfi the title holder. Goodman's beat two shots were recovery from thick bushes on the short 13th, to save a half ss he got his bsll out of the green from an almost unplayable lie, and an explo sion shot to within a foot of the 16th pin. This saved him another half and on the 18t,h he got down an eight-footer to stay even. Except for his erratic putting on several holes, Ouimet was steadier, but could not shake off his younger rival. Somervllle's fine golf . emphasized the Csnsdlan's title threat besides forecasting the first lnternstlonal final since Bobby Jones defeated Phil Perkins, British champion. In 1828 at Brae Burn.

He took the last three holes In a row to double his margin. Somerville ahot the morning round in 73 strokes to Guilford's 78 and was always In the lead after the third hole. WASH I NGTON. Sept. 18.

In Its Issue today, saya: "Earl H. Fehl. candidate for county Judge, spoke at Medford last Frldsy evening In one of a . series of cam paign speeches. Mr. Fehl made mucn of the recall against Judge Norton, and told how he, himself, had been wronged by the Judge In the libel case against htm lsst spring. "In sll of Mr. Fehl's speeches, we have found, the word 'I' is rather prominent. But It la used not In telling what T will do If elected Judge, but In what 'I' have suffered at the hands of county officers. If elected, Fehl would go Into office with a big grievance which, so far, has ovsrshadowed his campaign, and which, we believe would overshadow his conduct of the office. "Last spring Fehl made a campaign speech in Gold Hill and put up very similar line of aympathy talk, stating that his paper had been taken from him, and his business de stroyed. "At that meeting, many people were Inclined to feel aorry for him- and their aympathy wss reflected In the primary vote In May, when he carried thla and the Rogue River preclncta. "Since that time, people have found that perhapa Fehl didn't need so much sympathy, after all. He Is still publishing his Pacific Record-Herald, snd Is still finding fault with every thing and everybody. And It la not hard to reason that thla la not the kind of man who can handle Jackson county affaire for the next alx years In a sane manner. "It la noticeable here In Gold Hill that his popularity Is on the wsne. And. we believe It is because people are beginning to realise that It takes more than hollering to run a county It takes common sense, straight thinking and a willingness to co operate. Instead of a know-lt-all pol icy. "Judge Alex Sparrow's shoes are going to be hard for any man to fill. So why start out with a handicap by electing a man that has so much of hti own troubles thst he has no time to give to the affairs of the county."

Speaking on the question, "It De mocracy Safe?" Dr. Wilbur answered: 'Democracy la aafe. It has leaks and abvloua faults, but It functioned in war and Is now functioning in the midst of the worst depression we have had. The big problem Is to devise the means of passing Information to the whole people ao they can make wise decisions." Dr. Wilbur said the chief problem In making people take an active In terest In government Is to mske them realize they have a selfish Interest in the government. "A great work Is being done among the children of the nation and I am convinced the coming generation will not be so apathetlo when matters of government are concerned "Thla present generstlon la being aroused by the tax burden.
