PASADENA, Cal., Feb. 3. Motored down to Palm Springs
for lunch. Never have seen the mountains as beautiful aa they
are this year covered with snow half way down their massive
aides old San Jacinto rising straight from the desert floor to
the clouds. Thanks to the heavy rains the verbenas and scarlet
ocotillos are coming into bloom about six weeks ahead of
schedule. In the crystal clear air of the desert the panorama
was gorgeous.
Reports about Palm Springs
reports frequently are. 1929 prices in some of the larger hotels,
still prevail, but prices elsewhere have come down one can
get $300 apartments for $150 per
Nor is the place crowded. Over
thing is jammed, but it not being a week end, even the Desert
Inn seemed deserted, compared with a year ago. We fooled
the resort this time had our lunch in the desert outside bottle
of milk, graham crackers, oranges and honey 10 cents per.
Milk was 20 cents per quart in Palm Springs last year. Only
15 cents this which of course
price. That is Palm Sprijjgs, however, all down the line. Nothing
mysterious about it just the law
The same law works in Los

only charge 15 cents for the DAT. Shoe shines around Pershing
Square are 15 cents, four blocks away ten cents down on
Broadway near the Hall of Records five cents. Nothing myster
ious. Just supply and demand.
Met an orange grower in
Banning he was hoofing it. At
grower, but we have an idea he was an employee. He was dark
as a Mexican, and had the most beautiful white teeth a little
black mustache closely clipped, curving over his lip like a shoe
lace, and a charming smile. He said his car had broken down
and he couldn't afford to have it repaired, so he decided to
walk to Banning and see his brother-in-law who has an almond
orchard.
" Orange growers didn't make a dime this year," he ex
plained, "some of them broke even, but when you have a big
overhead, what good does breaking even do. I mean breaking
even on freight, icing and commission. I got 50 cents net on
some of my high quality stuff, but only about 10 per cent
was high quality. A low grade orange is just a total loss.
"If I ever get on my feet again I am going to get hold of a
good lemon ranch. Lemons don't require half the work, they
bear all year round, and they always demand a PAYING price.
Yes Sir if you have a good lemon ranch you are fixed for life.
But it has to be good and soil is the main thing. Almonds t
They are no better than oranges. Lemons they are the thing."
Mebbe" so. But you can see the answer. Our pedestrian
friend gets a lemon ranch and his friend gets one and so it
goes until EVERYONE IS GROWING LEMONS and once
more the goldon goose is dead. We don't oare what the business
qr economio problem may be it can be reduced fundamentally
to the law of supply and demand. Look up lemon production,
compare it with orange production, and you will see why lemons
pay this year and oranges don't. It's the same all down the line.
The orange growers down here are just as determined to
secure lower freight rates East as are the pear gowers in Med
ford. Yesterday a meeting was held with most of the big
railroad executives west of the Mississippi including offioials of
the S. P., Sante Fe, Union Pacifio and Western Pacific, and
representatives of the California Citrus League. Aocording to
our information the session was quite heated.
It shouldn't be. The railroads should be as interested in
redueing rates as the growers for unless the rates are reduced,
they will lose far more in total tonnage and therefore total
revenue than they could possibly gain by keeping rates up to
the price levels of 1928 and '29. How STUPID of the railroads
not to see that everything must eome down. R. W. R.

Husband and wife living together
may each make a separate return ot

Where separate returns are filed by
husband and wife, the exemption of

Editorial Comment
These Things Pass
As the latest of Its litigious fruits
the tempestuous teapot down In Jack
son county has brought forth since
one msy as well mix a metaphor In
treating of a altuatlon already thor
oughly scrambled a very Interesting
criminal libel case. That the action
la Instituted by a gentleman who but
lately wss partisan and employe of
the defendant serves only to Illus
trate how neighborly and entertain
ing such a community fracaa be-
oomea when the cats of Kilkenny are
going around and around.
It Is not good advertising for Jack
son county nor for Medford. By
standers at a aafe distance msy be
no end lifted and diverted, but they
are buying no chips In the gsme.
They prefer and who shsll blame
them? to enact the gsilery, and to
go elsewhere to settle down for a con
tented evening pipe and a session at
dominoes. Here In Portland, where
echoes of ths Internecine tumult oc
casionally are heard, nobody seems
to know what It Is all about. This
seems odd. Indeed, until advices from
Medford Inform us ss privily they
have Informed this newspsper that
we In the north are at no great dis
advantage. It seems that neither do
the combatanta know what It la all
about, for that matter.
But these things pass. They take
the devils own time In doing It, yet
nevertheless they psss. They enter
the local hlatorles and are at length
forgotten by all aava the loquacious
old-timers, who llks to argue their
Wsterloos and Chlckamaugss all over
again In the later years, when no
body else la Interested. Yes. Indeed,
these things psss. The thought Is
offered to Jackson county and to
Medford for the solace It may contsln.

Signed letters pertaining to personal beaJtb and hygiene, out to disease

sddressed envelupe is enclosed. Letters abould be brief snd errttten In Ink.
Owing to tbe large number of letters received only a few cap be answered
here. No reply can oe msde to queries not conforming to Instructions
address Dr. William Brady In cars of lbs UsU Tribune.
EASY FOB THE PATIENT. HARD FOR THE DOCTOR
In Isolated Motion. I gatvher, some
of tbe old timers la general practice
aa well aa old fogies In the none and
throat Held, are
stUl assuring their
trusting patrons
that the new
fangled "electric'
method of remov-
Ing Infected ton
sils la unsafe, un
satisfactory or un
accepted. That's Just too
bad for their pa
tients.
I have on my
desk eight letters,
all received from readers who have
had experience with the diathermy
method, all of them aa patients of
one physician to whom X had ad
vised them to go for this treatment.
It will give a fair Impression of the
method If I quote briefly from these
letters. But readers will please not
ask to be put In touch with other
correspondents. I am not privileged
to divulge the Identity of "v corres
pondent. However, I am always glad
to name a competent physician for
this or any other treatment I recom
mend, If a correspondent asks for
such information.
First Is a letter written by a boy
only seven years old! He says the
doctor had Just finished .hla tonsils,
and he likes it much better than the
operation he had three years ago.
That is not an uncommon experience.
the standard tonsillectomy leaves
much to be desired, and later the pa
tient finds relief In diathermy treat
ment. Not all physicians can suc
cessfully treat patients so young with
diathermy ,but this one happens to
.have the patience, tact and person
ality to manage children.
Next a man writes that he had his
tonsils removed by Doctor on my
recommendation and la pleased with
the result.
Third Is a woman, who says . . . .
'Even after the first two treatments
the relief was wonderful and I slept
aa I had not done In a year . . . well
on the road to recovery from a severe
case of actinomycosis . . " Actinomy
cosis Is a serious and most obstinate
type of Infection, and In this Instance
the diathermy treatment proved cur
ative. Fourth, a woman says 'I never
would have had my tonsils removed
In the ordinary way. I feared surgery
too much. Your articles about dia
thermy Interested me . . . found our
family physician himself had had his
tons removed by diathermy at the
hands of Doctor ." Three other
members of this woman's family
have had their tonsils satisfactorily
removed by the .same method and
the same man.
Fifth, a woman says her dentist
warned her she has ''thin blood" and
she feared the standard tonsillecto
Communications
. Debate. Not Essay, Wanted
To the Editor:
Bert Harr has agreed to meet me
In debate on the question: "Resolved,
that readers of the Medford Dally
News are suffering from an overdosa
of politics." But there Is a Joker in
Mr. Harr s acceptance of my chal
lenge he wants to conduct the de
bate through the columns of the
Mall Tribune. However, I absolutely
refuse to be party to a debate con
ducted in such manner, for several
reasons.
First: This challenge was to the
readers of the Dally News, many of
whom do not read the Mall Tribune
If they read the Tribune they
would not be like that.
Second: In order to show up the
foolish side of this political agitation
which has a bunch of farmers all
worked up Into a frenzy from listen
tng to a bunch squeal because they
are not on the county payroll the
people would have to hear the facts
and not the line of bunk peddled by
Banks.
Third: My Idea Is this. If giving a
chance to express It, I will picture
before the audience two new govern
ments that .are trying to be set up
here In Jackson county, one the Good
Government Congress, and the other
the Bur Association, and I think by
the time I show up the good qual
ities of these two new governments
that most of the audience will be
contented to stay with our present
form of government.
Fourth: The only way to show up
the funny aide of this political turm
oil to the Dally News readers la to
hold these debates In different parts
of ,the county.
Now If there la any community In
the county that wishes to sponsor
these- debates and quiet down this
political turmoil, let's hear from you.
first squeals are first to be fed.
I am afraid that my worthy op
ponent la getting cold feet. Now Burt
If It Is Impossible for you to meet me
In different parte of the county, why
turn your side or the question to one
or two of your loyal brothers or sis
ters of this good government congress
who wish to carry their spiritual side
of this direct to the voters, and gt
on the county payroll. If given a
chance I will give the low down on
who is entirely responsible for the
re-election of George Codding and
also what clique elected Earl Feb I.
Now come on let's go with these
debates and put this fire out that
makes this political pot boll over.
W. N. CARL.
FARMER BILL: froa Applegate.
A Contrast Prawn
To the Editor:
Both Banks and Judge Fehl have
accused Judge Norton of gmrnlshlng
Fehl'e salary as county Judge. There
la absolutely not one word of truth
to that statement. Parrs attorney
la wholly responsible for that garn
ishment. Now observe on the other hand the
charity, fatrnera and fine Judicial
temper of Judge Norton In the face
ol this vlUtficatlon and false accusa
my. Our old friend, Doctor , has
removed her extremely large tonsils
compleeely, and she never lost a drop
of blood.
Sixth, a man says Doctor com
pleted the extirpation of his tonsils
with 13 diathermy treatment at in
tervals of a week. He says no local
anesthetic was required, as he didn't
mind the application of the needle,
He never had enough sore throat to
prevent him from taking his regular
meals.
And so they run.
The old fossils ought to snap out
of it and give their patients a better
break.

The Houdini of Textiles
Science has perfected something brand new In textiles Lastex an
elastic fabric that can be made into everything from stretchable socks
to suspenders and bathing suits, and which should help ttie Textile
Industry out of the slump of hard times.
Chapter III.
But lately great advances have been
made by using the latex Itself for var
ious purposes. It Is not too much to
say that the use of latex opens up a
new world of possibilities for rubber;
bo much so that some rubber men
wonder whether the Industry did not
get off on the wrong foot In the first
place when It skimmed the cream off
the latex instead of using the whole
milk.
Rayon, as everybody knows. Is
made from cellulose, the cell-stuff
of plants. The cellulose Is made
from various sources: much of It Is
ground-up wood pulp. The ground
up cellulose Is chemically treated,
and In the form of a thick liquid It
Is forced through spinnerets tiny
holes from which it emerges as
thread, precisely as a spider makes
delicate strands of thread by forcing
certain raw ' materials in its body
through spinnerets. The Strang of
the spider hardens on coming In con
tact with air. The strands of rayon
must be hardened by further chemi
cal treatment.
I know nothing about the process
of making Lastex. It Is patented by
the United States Rubber company,
and closely guarded. But one need
not have much technical knowledge
to guess that It la roughly similar
to the making of rayon, possibly that
rayon suggested the Ideas In the first
place, by one of those Imaginative
leaps characteristic of Inventors. One
may guess that rubber milk or latex
is chemically treated and forced
through minute holes, coming out

POMONA GRANGE
Loynlty
Without a doubt the success of ev
ery constructive organized effort is
based upon faith, loyalty and work.
Without a doubt most of the ills
of the world are caused by untruth,
egotism, prejudice and maliciousness.
To be honest, to be fair, to be Just,
to be true, Is to win the respect and
confidence of all.
Without a doubt the wonderful suc
cess of the Grange In accomplishing
so many of the things (or which it
strives is due to the faith, loyalty
and work of its members, and with
out a doubt the high principles of
the Grange has developed a higher
and better manhood and womanhood
among Its members. "Honesty is in
culcated, education nurtured, tem
perance supported, brotherly love en
couraged and charity is an essential
characteristic. Thus are we bound to
gether In fraternity."
The fraternal spirit of charity and
brotherly love was much in evidence
at the meeting of the Pomona
Grange last .Saturday; for while there
waa a great diversity of opinion upon
the many questions brought before
the Grange, yet the fraternal spirit
was undaunted.
We have knowledge of but one ex
ception to this, and that was In the
conduct of that member who hand
ed out the publicity to the Mall Tri
bune which was published on Sunday
morning. Jan. 20.
We are not expreslng our opinion
of a member who will knowingly and
deliberately break the rules of the or
ganization, who will so Ignore the re
quest of the Worthy Master as to be
the one who furnished these state
ments to the press, contrary to the
rules of the Grange.
These are the facts on the matter.
A member (not a delegation) offered
a resolution to object to the audit
of the county books, because of the
expense to the county. This member
spoke quite lengthily upon the sub
ject. Victor Bursell spoke briefly, fa
voring the audit, two or three others
spoke briefly, for and against. Sever
al regretted that this question should
have come up before the Grange. A
motion came from a member (not a
delegation) to postpone Indefinitely,
(not to table. The motion carried by
a very great majority. They were not
napping. They knew what they were
doing. They said very plainly that
they did not believe the Grange
should act on any measure which ws
causing such a local political fer
ment.
The Grange Is an orderly organiza
tion, working only for constructive
measures. Harmony in the Grange Is
Important and It Is seldom lacking.
Lack of harmony and dissension
would have been the inevitable re
sult had the Orange taken action on
this matter, either for or against.
We regret very much that we have
this unauthorized, unfair and pre
judiced publicity after every Grange
meeting, as It will tend to bring dis
cord in the Grange. While we cannot
feel that any of our Pomona membe-s
who know the regular publicity
agent, would feel that we could ce
guilty of making such unfair and
prejudiced atatements. yet there are
some who do not know us so well.
might believe that we had author
ised such statements. Others who d3
not attend thee meetings take the
newspaper accounts for granted.
