Comment
on the
Day 9s Nezvs
By FRANK JENKINS
A FRIEND dropped Into thla office
Tuesday and found thla writer
Industriously pounding a typewriter.
"You and I," he remarked, "are the
two biggest fools In Southern Ore
gon." "How come?" was the answer.
"Because, Instead of being out
hunting, like regular human beings
ought to be on the opening day of
the season, we're at home working
like slaves.'," -
ppHERE'S cause lor thought In that
remark.
When the time comes for us to die,
as It will. Just how much better off
will those of us be who stayed at
home and worked on the opening day
of the season than those who got out
In the bright aunshlne and the glorl
oua hills of Oregon and hunted for
deer?
We'll be worse off, probably; be
cause we'll have missed something
vflne that we might have had.
HERE la a statement that Is not
without Interest out here In this
country where lumber la our most
Important manufactured product:
"The ateel Industry la planning an
aggressive publicity campaign to cre
ate new market for steel. Pressed
eteel houses offer a new development
which will be pushed If present plans
are followed through."
rjRESSED steel houscsl That makes
us laugh, out In this country.
Wouldn't a pressed steel house be a
dickens of a thing to live In?
But It Is no laughing matter. Press.
ed steel houses can be aold If they
have enough ADVEP.TISINO and
SELLING back of them.'
What lumber needs, If It Is to hold
its own, is more advertsllng and sell
ing. -
HERE Is another Interesting bit,
culled from the market pages:
There Is an Impending ahortage of
coffee In this country. Several of the
large distributors have only a few
weeks supply left.
It Is aald that a few large food com
panies are buying wheat In anticipa
tion of an Increasing demand for
cereal beverages later on, as the cof
fee shortage begins to make Itself
felt.
There waa recently an up In prices
of cocoa, and this also la said to be
due to the Impending coffee shortage.
WHY the shortage?
Well. It la an Interesting story.
There Is a, revolution on down In
Brazil, and It Is from Brazil that
most of the coffee cornea. Not only
that, but about 70 per cent of the
coffee we use In this country comes
from one state In Brazil the state of
Santos.
This state of Santos Is practically
blockaded as a result of the resolu
tion, and so coffee can't get out.
Hence, you see, the possibility of a
ahortage.
THIS was once a big world, with
many natlona and many peoples
whose lnteresta were far apart. What
one nation or one people did con
cerned other natlona and other peo
ples very little, as a rule.
Thla world that waa once so big
Is getting smaller and smaller. What
happens In one part of It Is apt to be
of the most acute concern In places
far removed.
This revolution In Brazil, for ex
ample. In which you may not be even
remotely Interested aa you read of It
in the papers or at least glance at
the headlines may affect the price
of your breakfast cup of coffee here
In southern Oregon.
The world, you see. reslly la a
rather small place. In these daya of
awlft communications, and what hap
pens In one part of it has echoes in
many other parts.

ROGER?
BEVERLY HILLS, Cal., Sept.
21. Say, 1 got a whole new
slant on this election racket
today. I run into a Republican.
Yon see on account of my low
social stnndinjr I haven't teen
able to meet anybody bnt Dem
ocrat. But this Republican
tells and shows me where this
tli ins is going to be a real race.
These windy Democrats had
led me to believe that the thing
was going by default.
Mr. Hoover made a move
yesterday that if I had been
one of his advisors I would
never have let him make it. He
wants "to put more orators in
the field." I think and hope
that it was a typographical
error. It should read we want
more orators under the field."
As I told you all before, I
seem to bo the only person in
America that has no idea who
will win this election, bnt I do
know one thing, it will be th
side with the fewest "orators"
or even speakers.
