In six months the revolution will be laughable, but why wait el months, when. It will never be so tunny ss right now. The rest of the state Is not waiting to laugh. Teach us not to take things so serious, and deliver us from all tricks committed In the name of Righteous ness and helping the poor, Something out to. happen sometime, because somebody wants to get his feet In the pubtlo trough. Oreat Is the Muss, but the valley don't need a Mussolini. If Saviour of the County has made, a flnl of everything he ever tackled, he ought to be a dandy to handle the public spondulicks. Abolish the cute little trick of quoting St. Luke, 4:14, on the eve of threatening to break the baok of somebody we don't like. The county books are all wrong. A man whose td broke down a mile south of Ashland last October saya so, and he should know, aa he has been here more than three months. What does It profit, to fill a tren. slant hellralaer full of county beans. whilst the Worthy Poor suffer because they are not loud-mouthed, and be have themselves. They were here when skies were sunny, and auto gadding the habit, but are getting t'l worst of It now and howl Inspire us to pray and mean It. A , counterfeit prayer is worse than no ' prayer at all, and, furthermore, the prayers of politicians are never an ewered. And the situation will not be helped any, by shaking the motn balls out of Klan nightgowns. And, If aa charged, the current unholy hullabaloo la due to Thinking, for Heaven's sake make one and all top trying to Think. And, In conclusion, give us back Peace, but In small doses for a starter, as a sudden return to Normalcy would be too much of a shock, civic battling has become a habit, so give us the Keeley oure.

Once upon a time, greens fees at the Montesito golf course were $3 per day over week ends, $2.50 at other times. Now they are $1 at any time. Ca the hill there still stands a typically splendiferous club house with dining rooms, ball rooms, locker rooms, tennis courts and gardens adjoining. Membership and initiation fees were from $2000 up, when the club house opened. The memberships gave golfing privileges and club privileges, but hard times came, memberships were assessed, so many members dropped out that this magnificent private club is now virtually a public golf course, and just bow the organization is coming out no one seems to know, A disaster for the club and its members; bat a blessing to the golfing rank and file, who can play over a wonderful 18 hole course, with marvellous greens, get a cheap luncheon if they wish, and also if they wish play without a caddy and in their suspenders. So the world wags on and great changes come. Penhaps this ifontecito golf course is a symbol of what the world is going thru, and vAet the future has in store. Undoubt edly the original investment voill be a loss,' a wealthy minority will have to take that loss, but the net outcome will be better golf at less expense for more people. T trust that such a symbol, doesn't ivolve a prophecy that is unduly optitoistic, In our last offering we declared that in our opinion the only revolution this country is going, to suffer, has already started, and it is essentially a revolution in thought, and ideas. No one is thinking tbu way they did two and three years ago; current ideas are expressed in entirely For example here in Santa people have started a building They have decided to remodel their homes and in some instances build new ones, spending approximately $500,000. They don't need new homes, nor remodelled homes, but they can use them, they can get the work done at reduced cost,' and they regard the investment as a duty of good citizenship, giving work to those who need it, reducing unemployment, and delaying what ever benefit they may derive until some fature time. These same people we venture to say, would have met such a suggestion in 1029, as entirely preposterous. This is an ex tremely mild exnmplo of the change in the point of view, but It is an example. Those who read a recent article by Colonel House in Liberty are familiar with another example. Colonel House makes statements there and offers suggestions, which ten years ago would have classified him as a radical and a Bolshe vik. Now radical ohanges are accepted as a matter of course. Tonight in Los Angeles ocours a debate on Technocracy be tween Lincolun Steffens, and the editor of the Los Angeles tabloid, the News. Believe it or not Mr. Steffens, a few years ago regarded and rightly so, as a Liberal with a capital "L" is taking the conservative side of the argnmont. He is opposing Technocracy, the editor is supporting it. Certainly a striking example of the distance we have covered in two or three years, in this peaceful and to many imperceptible revolution. Tho radical of 1929 is the conservative of 1932. So get ready for big changes politically and economically in the next few years. They are coming coming soon and com ing with s bang. Only stupid or cowardly people, will bemoan rthis development. Sensible and glad that the revolution should form adopted in so many other larly in Russia. ' Communications ; An Idea for Prosperity. To the Editor: As I read In the papers about that big word they call "Technocracy," it naturally gives all of us an Idea, and that Idea, coming from ever so humble a source, may have some. bearing In solving this problem. I contend that If a man can cradle five acres of wheat a day and bind It In another day, he has placed five acres In the sheaf in two days, so by making a machine that wlU do the ssme work In two hours, to bal ance things we must shorten the la. bor day, with the same pay, just as we would feel If we Co any Job sr-und the place In a shorter time Just as well as we used to do It In a long time. Of course all these things have done their part toward depression Oasollne power brought into pro duction about one-quarter more produce as It took that much to feed the horses. Then when stocks were- boomed' so high they had to fall, or they did In 1930. Then there comes what p com monly term a shortage of motfey. Really there la Just as much cur rency as ever, but valuee have gone down and as there Is eompsratlvely very little currency changing, -hsads-l In business, transfers' more being. In the form of notes, mbfttgages; bonds, etc. It makes, aa we commonly speak, less money In circulation, when It Is only values that have lost.' So I oontend the way to hetp our financial Ills, at least for the present, la .a shorter work day t the same wage: also inflatlor? of currency.

TJse Common Sense. TOfsre Is danger In the situation which has been the outgrowth of the controversy In the county court. Without passing any Judgment a to who g right or who Is wrong in the situation, In the final analysis, this fsct is paranfount: Earl H.cFehl and Ralph ntlllnt were unquestlonsbly elected by voters of Jackson county to act as JudRS and county commissioner respectively to aid In transacting (he affairs of Jackeon" county. It. E. Nealon was an appointee. Cntll the courts pass on the le gality of his appointment, a seems necessary at present, the duly and unquestionably elected members of the court mnst not let his appointment throw Jark ton county Into further disorder nor further hinder the eoonty coort In It regular functions. County Judge Earl Fehl and Com missioner Ralph Billings at least should meet, transact the business of tn county and fulfill the pledge they took when they aasumed office Courtesy should prompt them to give every consideration to Mr. Nealon during the period when hi appoint ment might be questioned. And Mr. Nealon ehould weigh carefully hia re sponsibility In this matter and. If necesssry. until the court establish the legality of his appointment, step aside temporarily.

WHEN A COUOB Before we get Into a dispute about the subject let's be sure you know as much about the function or pur pose of the dia phragm as I do right now I have every reason to doubt you know enough, about this to under stand what we're talking about. Briefly, then. the diaphragm Is an Important muscle, voluntary muscle but chief ly under auto. under automatlo (autonomic sym pathetic) control, elastic, dome- shaped, placed like a tarpaulin be tween the abdomen and the thorax. When the diaphragm contract it pushes, or squeezes down on the stomsch, liver and other organs and pushes out or expends the belly. At the same time It tends to enlarge the capacity of the chest cavity and that causes air to enter the lungs. So when the diaphragm contract we inspire or take In. air. Then the dia phragm relaxes, rests, and the air rushes out of the lungs or Is expired, wholly through the elastlo recoil of diaphragm, lungs, chest wall, belly and not from any muscular effort. When you sigh you relax everything and enjoy a grand rest for a moment but unconsciously Just before the sigh you exert yourself to draw In a deeper, longer breath to elgb with. Hiccough or hiccup Is a peculiar modification of Inspiration. It Is spasmodic contraction of the dia phragm accompanied with epasmodto contraction of the larynx. It is no more a cough than a gasp Is a yell. Ten years sgo Dr. Brian Sword (an anethetlst, not a surgeon) follow ing a suggestion msde by Prof. Tan- dell Henderson found that the ad ministration of Inhalations of csr bon dloxid gss with air or with oxy gen, gave much relief to patients suffering from the abdominal dis tention that follows many operations. Prof. Henderson had also shown that carbon dloxid stimulates peristalsis the rythmic wave motions by whlcn the content of the alimentary tract are propelled. Retarded peristalsis seems to arouse or stimulate or Irri tate the phrenic nerve which controls the action of the diaphragm. Peris talsis 1 tremendously retarded by the business and control this difficulty which has developed, else they are net equipped to transact the county business. Jsckson county want no more plain old "horse-play." The voters are becoming disgusted with somebody or other nobody seems to know exactly who It Is though and they want ac tion, not mob action, but court ac tion. Let th T'lrta pass as quickly aa possible on .the Nealon appointment, If this is desired. Though 111-advlsed. It no doubt is legal. However, the two Mgularly elected court members must devote their at tention to county business and each must recognize the authority and right of the other without discord snd showmanship. County affaire need this attention. Mob or marchers should remain at home until the legality and status of the county court personnel la estab- llahed and until the members duly qualified or duly appointed thereto demonstrate whether or not tbey In tend to transact county business or whether they consider internal frlo tton and Inaction more Important than the regular routine of county business.

Then carbon dloxid Inhalations nguid ut in. ut. owora louna mat they did, and thus the Inhalations became, a conventional means of re lief for not only post-operative dis tention, but also post-operative hic cup. The administration of from 5 to 10 per cent carbon dloxid and 90 to m per cent oxygen or air mixture by Inhalation has proved perhsps the most effective treatment we have for obstinate Intractable hiccups Often it stops the spasms within half a dozen breaths. As a simple home treatment, where the condition Is not alarming or where no physician la available or where no Inhalator and gas tank Is at hand, the paper bag method will bring re lief in most cases. Hold an ordinary paper bag such as grocers use contslners, over the mouth and nose and breathe and rebreathe Into the bag for several minutes. If the open.

The whole story told by the picture is sn absurd and pernicious misrepresentation which no intelli gent community should tolerate. Freezing Freckles. Plesse advise the best and aafest treatment for freckles on the face. R. O. T. Answer The let-alone treatment Is safest. Bleaches and chemicals that cause peeling of the ekln are dlssp pnlntlng and painful. Freezing with carbon dioxide snow Is almost pain less and gives satisfactory result In the bands of the skilled physician. None but a skilled and RESPONSIBLE physician can give such treatment successfully. One hundred freckles msy be disposed of at a sitting, every eight or 10 days. (Copyright, John F. Dills Co.)

For 15 minute he expounded to the silent Mr. Coolldge on the neces sity for action. He pleaded and ex horted but could atrtke no fire. Pin ally Mr, coolldge Interrupted him by asking: "Do you like doggies?" When Mr. Morrow recovered hi equilibrium he said yea he liked dog all right, but that this was a prob lem which had to be dealt with, etc., etc. He waa almost oratorical for another IS minutes. Then Mr.. Cool ldge Inquired: "Do you like Chow doggiea?" It dawned on Mr. Morrow that he was making no headway. Ha drop ped the subject and z.ever returned to It in his three-day visit. ' Subsequent events apparently jus-, tlfled Mr. Coolldge's subtle refusal to go Into the matter. There is another one that should not be lost to poster! ty-r-how Mr. Coolldge taught management of grasshoppers to a secret service man In the Black Hills. It tu the secret service man's duty to keep the grass hoppers and to bait the President's hook with them. He used a cigar box. Every time he opened It to get one grasshopper, two or three other escaped. The President watched the excitement in silence for some days. Then he said tersely: "Get a sock." The secret service man was doubt ful hut he got a sock a silk one. It worked beautifully. When he opened the top of the sock the grass hoppers remained down In the thin silk area where the light was. He extracted thorn one by one with no waste. - There was a good reason why rail stocks went down when Mr, coolldge died. He was one man whose name car ried sufficient weight with a large section of the public to promote con fldence In a plan for railroad adjust ments. HI associates on ths com mission can put out the same plan. but his prestige will be lacking. When prominent men die their friends always say It was great loss to the country. In this case It is true. The state department was barely able to control Itself when Japanese Ambassador Debucht called to say japan had no Intention of Invading China proper. Debuchl made a similar call when the first Invasion of Manchuria was started. He looked at the heavens and said Japan had no ambitions In Manchuria. He promised she would go no further. When the invasion spread to Tsltslhar he also called to say that waa the end and occupa tion would not expand. When It ex panded to Chlnchow he again called to say positively, etc. When It took In all of Manchuria he neglected to call.
