Harry LAUDER, who maintains
that Scotchmen really arent
tight but Instead are the most gener
ous people on earth, inform us at
the same time that he has the only
sure cure for the depression.
. "Depression!" he snorts. "Why. J
make the folk smile, and when they
amlle there IS NO depression."
THERE Is no Vepreaelon for air
Harry, that is. when enough peo
ple pay admissions In order to give
him the chance to make them smile.
JANE ADDAMS,' talking, like Sir
Harry, for the benefit of the re
porters, sdvleee women who are
business to quit imitating men and
"be themselves."
That Is reasonably sound advice.
The men haven't made such an out
standing success of their handling of
buslnesgs In recent years ss to lead
women to WANT to Imitate them.
QPEAKER GARNER, who predicts
thst the house of representatives
will pass a beer bill at the short aes
'4s!on of congress, says that legalized
beer will bring In a revenue of 3S0,
000,000 to 300,000,000 annually to
the government.
Will ltt Or have too many people
learned to make their own beer at
home?
fVNE of th big questions eg th
day:
"Did Colonel Raymond Robins real
ly lose his memory, or did he Just
want to lose his Identity end make a
new start In life?"

THIS writer, who may be wrong,
believes he really did lose his
memory, and that the other story wss
started by the gossips who ust sim
ply lovs to think the worst of every
body. There are plenty of auch, you know.
IP you are wise VoiT will" think the
BEST of people. Instead of believ
ing the worst about them. It doesn't
cost any more, and In the long run
you will feel better because of It.
A FORMER Minneapolis policeman
meets a couple of sharpers In
Vancouver, Washington, and starts
matching coins with them, the odd
coin taking the money. They let him
win long enough to srouse his greed,
then resort to the ancient, moth
eaten trick of one showing a head and
the other a tall and take 1400 from
htm.
Don't ptty the victim too much.
The poor boob thought he had found
a sure way to take easy money away
from a couple of fools and went
after It.
It Is the greedy seekers for easy
money who sre the sharpers' meat.
CJENATOR Jamea J.
Davis, former
a: secretary of labor, says in a pub
' Ho address:
"Some people seem to think that
government. If It only would, could
give every man a Job. That Is one
of the many delusions that must be
guarded against. No government, not
even the richest, can perform the Im
possible." ,
k- '
I IB Is right. One of the things
wrong with us Is that of about
ch all persons In this country ONE
j an employee of government, which
means that the other five must work
Just that much harder In order to
support ths sixth.
If sverybody wss an employee of
government, there would be NOBODY
to do the supporting.
fVNE f t1 bls questions In Ore
gon Just now seems to be this:
"Shall we reduce automobile licenses
sharply?"
Here Is the answer: "We should Jf
e have all ths new roads we want or
ink we can pay for."
That Is the long and the short of It.
A UTOMOBILE Uqensee are burden-
some. There Is no denying that.
They are especially burdensome be
csuse they have to be paid all In one
lump.
This writer hss an Idea.' and has
had It for some time, that if soms

automobile licenses on the Install

TITLE TILT, 33-0,
TO MIGHTY JEFFS
Burghermeisters Fail to Play
Up to Form and Awed by
Big Crowd Victors Big,
Powerful and Classy
WELCOME HOME
All citizens of - Medford art
urged to be at the Southern Pa
cific depot tonight when the train
from the north comes in at 6:30,
bringing home the football play
ers from Portland. Business men
are organizing a, reception group
to give the boys the glad hand,
and ask all who can to Join the
party. A rousing reception is
planned.
The Medford high school football
team was defeated by Jefferson high,
at Portland, Thanksgiving day, 33 to
0. The game was for the mythical
state title. The Burghermeisters were
outclassed and outweighed, and bat
tled against these odds on a soggy,
slippery field that cut down their
speed. The scoring territory at each
goal was deep with mud.
No high school team In the state
has any business playing Jefferson.
They are In the Junior college class.
They sre big and fast, and coached
to the last fine point. They looked
like a, Calltson "wonder" team.
The Medford squad during the first
five minutes of play, had the "Jit
ters, snd was visibly awed by the
11,000 people In Multnomah stadium.
They were under a strain. The In
ability to relax affected their game.
and at no period of the struggle did
they relax and show their real form.
Nevertheless, they held the heavier
Jefferson crew to a, lone touchdown
during the first half, and began to
lose much of their nervousness In the
second quarter, when the two-team
battled on even terms.
Tackle Play Crushes,
Throughout the first half, Jeffer
son used a crushing tackle reverse,
with Fullback Pranaen carrying the
ball, that was unstoppable and a
consistent ground -gainer. The Bur
ghermeisters made gallant stands , on
three occasions In the shadow of their
own goal-posts, and were cheered
lustily.
At the start of the second half,
Medford showed a flash of Its real
form, and thrilled the crowd with
& sizzling forward pass, and gains
through the line. With a yard to
go. Medford missed by a foot, and
Jefferson regained possession. The
Burghermeisters were backed up
against their own goal again. Here
again the superior weight of the
Portland squad counted heavily, and
they ripped across.
Errors of Judgment also counted
against Medford in the final half,
when Jefferson Intercepted a forward
pass to score standing up. Recovery
of a funible by Olllnsky also resulted
in snother touchdown. The final
score oame In th 'nst quarter.
Tigers Form.
Medford pres: 1 Jefferson with
two of her toucdowns. The Bur
ghermeisters, under normal condi
tions and with no mental strain,
could have held Jefferson to three
touchdowns. It is no beilttlement of
the locals to ssy that three of Jeffer
son's scores were due not so much
to what Jerfersond did but what Med
ford did not do. They had an off
day and failed to "click"' up to stand
ard. It was evident throughout the game
that Jefferson had drilled In the Med
ford style of play. For Instance, Oll
lnsky, usually s, good punt returner.

PARIS, Prance, Nov. 30. (AP)
The American executive has no pow
er to grant postponement of the $20,
000,000 debt Installment due from
France on December ' 15, the state

give to the maintenance of exist
ing accords and to the payment of
December 15 such an Importance
that it Is greater than all reasons
submitted In favor of suspension.
"If payment Is made the chances
of a favorable examination of the
question In Its entirety would, In
my optnlpn, be greatly Increased.'
This note was the answer to the
French request for postponement of
the December payment pending re
consideration of the debts schedule.
The French request followed by a
day a similar proposal by England.
The memorandum emphasized that
the American government always had
maintained that the debts due from
the allies of the world war should be
treated as distinct from the repara
tions which grew out of the war.
"Tftia Insistence by the United
States, on this difference," lt said,
"is quite natural when one consid
ers her refusal after the war to ac
cept reparations for herself, and also
that her position as a creditor was
different from that of all other na
tions. "Not only did this government re
ceive no terrtorlal compensation, no
economlo privilege, no governmental
Indemnities at the end of the war,
but, since It had no obligations to
ward others, to treat the debts and
reparations as If they were linked
could only be to the disadvantage of
the United States."
The note said that a concession by
America would mean the inevitable
transfer of the burden of taxes from
the taxpayers of another country to
the taxpayers of the United States
without the possibility of finding a
compensation otherwise.

cottage under the pines, Franklin D.
Roosevelt settled down today to a
period ot rest before tackling the Job
of working out with Democratlo con
gressional leaders the program they
will support In this session ot con
gress. The broad outlines of the program
already have been talked over with
numerous Democratic members In the
round of conferences the president
elect held while he waa in Washing
ton esrly this week. They call for
enactment of measures toward gov-
c nmental economy to balance the
budget and farm relief legislation fol
lowing the general lines of Mr. Roose
velt's campaign speeches.
Among the first of the Democratic
leaders expected to call upon Mr.
Roosevelt early in the week Is Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic
leade:-. The last visit the senator had
with the president-elect waa at Hyde
Park several weeks ago when Robinson
said there would be no disposition on
the part of the Democrats to penalise
Republican Independents for support
ing the Democratic ticket.
This wss taken at the time aa an
Indication that the Democrats would
be disposed to deal leniently with
the Republican Independents who
supported the Roosevelt ticket in the
reorganiratlon that will come in tne
73rd congress. Several of them hold
Important committee chairmanships.
For today the presldent-eiecs prom

rest, broken only by a Journey down

There were no appointments on his
calling list.
Despite this, however, there waa
much work to be done. Hundreda of
letters were accumulating to be ans
wered, some from Job seekers, some
from friends wishing him a happy
sdmlnlstrstton. and othera from as
sociates dealing with plans for the

T
Rising Prices Past Week
Higher Than Seasonal and
Producers Get Profit
No Forecast for Future
SAN PRANCIISCO, Nov. 35. )
Being a "butter and egg man' on
the Pacific coast carries some of Its
old meaning today.
Prices that have gone up swiftly In
the
last week, on top of previous
gradual gains, spelled benefits above
me year's low levels of well over 80.-
000,000 on an annual basis.
Market prices are at the year's too
all along the coast. Portland quota
tions were the last to come into line
with a Jump of c a pound for but
ter, making it 30c a pound Whole
sale for best quality.
Beneflta for California, Oregon and
Washington were calculated on the
basis of production estimates furnish
ed by F. H. McCampbcll of the fed
eral department of agriculture. He
used 1933 records as approximate In-
dlcatora of thla year's output. San
rrancisco prices, typical of the coast
markets, were taken aa a measure of
income swings.
Butter rose from a low o 17'5o a
pound to 29c, and egga from 15V4 a
down to 35',c for the large size.
The butter sdvsnce of llc wss ap
plied to 350,000,000 pounds of but
ter, the estimated produce of 380.
000,000 pounds of butterfat. Thla
made M0.3S0.000. Eggs rose 30c a
dozen, and the 334.000,000 dozen add
ed 4fl.800,000 on an annual basis.
The figures aggregate 87.O50,0OO.
Whether the benefits actually
amount to the computed total with
in a year dependa of course on
whether the advance Is maintained
for that length of time. No forecast
of the future price movement has
been attempted in market circles. I
has been pointed out, however, that
the advances of late have been
greater, than the usual seasonal
gaina.
The significant thing about the'
ourrent situation, MoCampbell aald.
was that producers are getting re
turns that give them some profits
over produotlon costs.
Market advices on the Immediate
sltustlon continued today along re
cent lines that Is, tending to Indi
cate the upturn had neared lt crest.
In spite of such recent comments,
the markets have continued higher.
Market wires from New York Indi
cated butter uould be shipped from
the east Into California at a profit,
and thla would tend to bring prices
down here. In fact, more than a

Will
Rogers
"&nc
.Says:
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21
Log Angeles papers the other
day took what they thought
wag a terrible slam at my hon
orable old state with the fol
lowing :
Will Rogers' home state of
Oklahoma gold more buggy
whips last year than any
other."
Well, if it did, that means
that she is leading the U. S.
back out of the mesa. Put a
buggy whip in every man's
hands that's got no business
with a steering wheel. The
horse raises what the farmer
eats and eats what the farmer
raises, but you can't plow in
the ground and get gasoline.
You don't have to pay aorae fi
nance company 10 or 15 per
cent, to own s horse.
We have been moving awful
fast the last few years, but
when we stopped and checked
up we found we would have
gotten just as far if we had
walked and wouldn't have
owed anybody. So " Bravo, "
Oklahoma. Yours,
