J., Press) Mosquitoes have prevented pectlng parties from becoming a problem In New Jersey, club women were assured here at a conference. Mrs. Charlea A. Frlckett, chairman of the com mittee on mosquito extermina tion of the New Jersey Pedera -tlon of Women Olubs, said: "Swarms of healthy, ambitious mosquitoes will see to It that there never lo an epldemlo of petting In New Jersey." President-elect Roosevelt has nam ed hit cabinet. He ignored all the local saviors of the nation. J. Prank Wortman of Phoenix ad vises one and all to laugh at their troubles. The trouble seems to be, people have been getting gay with their troubles. e . AIN'T OOVERNMENNT WONDERFUL (Oong. Record.) The same argument was made ln the case of Liberia, and the aame with some of the other matters. Somebody promised to lend money who had no authority to make any such promise. It la oald, "We have promised and we must lend It." If Liberia had won the war, if they bad done something to win the war. there might be something ot a, moral obligation. But I know and you know, Mr. President, and God knowa, that they did not do anything to win the war. It was easy enough for any set of men to go out and organise a new government, like that ot the Hodjas. Nobody knows where they were when they formed tt, or Just whta they had, but they organised a new government and declared war against Germany, and then they came to the United States federal treasury and got nearly all the money they wanted. Money was as cheap then as though every thousand-dollar bond waa a dry leaf and our forests were filled with dry leaves, and all we had to do waa to pick them. Anybody could borrow money from the United States If he would declare war against Germany. He did not have to do anything against Ger many. I presume Germany haa not i found out yet thrt Liberia declared j war agnii re ar, mun mm n : : It out, but Liberia got a little money, said now senatora are weeping and walling because she did not get more from the tolling masses of the United States who have to pay the taxes after all. MEETS FRIDAY NIGHT The regular meeting of the South ern Oregon Mining Association will be fheld ln the Chamber of Commerce rooms Friday night, March S, at 7:30 o'clock, It was announced today. A number of Important matters are to be taken up for discussion and the members hope to have their' leg islative matters so well In hand that George Barton, their special represen tative at Salem, will be able to re turn to hta home and be present at this meeting. Further details and the progress of the plana of the as sociation for the Unemployment Re lief will be discussed at this meet ing. . AU members and all others Inter ested ln development of Vie mining Industry of this section an urged to be present, "We Told 1 1 JuS is a funny world. Not Probably "strange" would be a better word. What impels this observation is another one of these anon' ymous communications. . ' The writer of this ONE fails to understand why the Mail Tribune didn't tell the people about Earl Fehl, BEFORE they elected him county judge, instead of "AFTER '. There certainly is a CLASSIC for the student investigating the brevity of the public memory. , rNTJDN'T tell the people about read over the files the week before the election, less than four months ago. Let him read to "befo' the wah!" If the Mail Tribune didn't name of common sense does the term meant We told them and told them and TOLD them I And during more city cam paigns than we care to recount, what we said was apparently believed. At least the present to get into the mayoralty chair. But at the last election what believed, we were only a mouthpiece of the gang, speaking as a representative of the privileged press trying to defeat, "a champion of law and order, the stalwart friend of the down trodden and the oppressed." It may be interesting to repeat what this paper said a few days before the November election: ' "Unless the people as a whole unite behind Pop Gates, Fehl . will be elected. Unless there Is concentration behind the strongest opposing candidate, unless the Fehl opposition Is not again scattered, three ways to breakfast, then take our tip Earl Fehl with his solid backing Is going to win. Don't be deceived. The 'Mall Tribune isn't. Unless there Is a last minute switch to the strongest csndldate, political hlatory ln the primaries wlU be repeated aaln." And again: "A vote for Fehl will keep this community disrupted and embroiled for an Indefinite period ln the future. Such a vote will be a publlo declaration that false charges are believed, that unscrupulous and unwarranted character assassination Is ap proved, and this fuss and fury will Indefinitely continue." "There Is nothing personal In our opposition to Fehl . . . we don't oppose Mr. Fehl In bis private capacity aa a citizen we do opose him as a candidate for public office, i "OUR OPPOSITION RESTS UPON OUR BELIEF THAT FEHL IS ENTIRELY UNQUALIFIED FOR PUBLIC OFFICE, AND IS PARTICULARLY UNQUALIFIED BY TEMPERAMENT AND CHARACTER FOR THE POSITION OF COUNTY JUDGE." There I Is that not telling the public about Mr. Fehl I . We dii nil we could do to defeat Fehl, for the reasons above stated. We leave it to our readers, as to whether or not our predictions both as to the RESULTS of the election, and what would FOLLOW, were true or Praise Where IN THE present state of the nnrtinnlnrlv nrflvnlflnr. and nresentincr bouauets is not.

THE GERMS WE CARS Long years ago, I gather from th attitude of the old-timer, there was complete accord, ln the profession ln reference to cold. tVll good doctors believed that ex posure to cold or chilling caused pneumonia, bron- ohltls, tore throat, tubercu losis, rheumatism, grip, distemper, catarrh or what had you. Then some radical freak, nut, fad ctist or cheap oensatlon seeker. Just to be different, conceived the notion that maybe something else might be concerned us the causation of colds, and this wild Idea seemed to stow as our knowledge of bactert- olotrr and pathology Increased, until eventually the profession aoceptea me theory that such limessea arc or in fectious character, that is, they are caused by the Invasion of the tissues by germs. With the general acceptance of this theory It became necessary to dispose of the original assumption that cold or chilling was the" essential cause of the Illnesses mentioned, so we pny- slclans, always resourceful, began to explain to the dumb laity that the exposure to cold or wet or tne enm lng mode the tissues more vulner able and then the germs hopped In and attacked. This amended theory served pretty well for a while. Then some more radicals, nuts, wild theorists, cheap publicity seekers or something began to ask how come the germs are al ways at hand to hop In and attack when the poor victim happens to get wet or chilled. so It became necessary to amena the amendment by just suggesting that everybody goes about with a complete assortment of all the more popular germs ln his nose or throat at all times, and thus cold draft or a low fog la all that is necessary to bring about the bacterial Invasion or Infection. This amended amendment Is still doing service for many of our comic opera health commissioners and oia Coast medical authorities. But there Is Just one little flaw ln tt which 1 beg to point out. The suggestion has no scientific support whatever. It is Just one of those funny notions. j Excepting well recognized "carrier- I w 4go S i HOW WE APPEAR IN EYES OF JHJTSIDERS TUB JACKSON COCNTV ROW The Jackson county row has reached the pitch where reason must return or martial law prevail. M It danger lives and property. Perhaps the court order taking the control of the Medford News from Lewellyn Banks on foreclosure proceedings will tend to restore pence and tranquility. It goes without saying that Banks' ownership of the news paper has not been In the Interest of harmony. The policy of the news paper has been Inflammatory; and It seems to have succeeded ln arraying neighbors against neighbors. As a matter of fact the causes underlying the Jackson county hysteria ore personal and political. There Is no fundamental Issue between tne people. There Is no reason why peace, cannot return If the responsible citizens of the county so will It, Jackson county's row Is an example of what a newspaper publisher ean accomplish, who puts prejudice rather than reason at the helm. (Albany Democtat Herald), TWO STATUES whether or not the state police other day they would be affairs seem to be approaching a showdown In Jackson county. And, from the looks of things, the state troopers will be about the onlv officers of the law outside the Jail or not under bond when the Investigation Is completed. The list of officers arrested now Includes the sheriff, a Jailor, the mayor of Rogue River, a Mcdrord policeman and the county Juilce. When Jackson county . troubles are finally all Ironed out, the people down there ought to erect two memorials one to the man or men found guilty of stealing the election ballots and the other to the state cops. The former monument will be merited because the ballot theft brought on tne Investigation and the second because the Investigation will have been efficiently carried out. (Eugene News). TITLE MISPLACED Antnrently the trouble through which Jackson county has been com piled to wnllow during these last The newspaper, edited by L. A. Banks during that time and which has been pretty largely responsible for the turmoil, Is to be turned back to Its former owners. At this distance, it Is pretty hard to discover Just what all the trouble was about. Perusal of the Banks newspaper during these last few weeks has not served to enlighten this writer. It seems that Hanks thought he had been Injured and mistreated In some manner or other but he teemed to fall to tet forth Just exactly wherein and whereby such alleged miscarriage of Justice had taken place. The newspaper fraternity need make no apology. "Editor" Banks Is an orcharrtlst who bought and ran a newspaper. The result has been not dissimilar to what might happen if a plumber were to take over and carry on the practice of a tkllled surgeon. The title of "editor" was misplaced. (Roseburg News Review). BETTER TIMES MAT BB COMING The newspaper phase of Jackson county's amailng controversial mess came to a climax Saturday when, through mortgage foreclosure, Uwellyn A. Banks lost the morning Medford company, founder of the News, resumed control with Lee Tuttle of Klam ath Falls assuming the editorship as oqo of the original editors and publishers. This development deprives Banks, print the tirades and Inflammatory articles through which he has con tributed to effectively to the unholy mess In our sister county. Whetner Banks stays out of print It a question, County Judge Fehl, publishes a weekly newspaper and H may be that Banks will resume his Journallstto activities there. Nevertheless, the steadiness of the diet will be broken time, cne news may do rtpecirn to and out of the change may come better That la sincerely to be hoped. has become to the rest of the state, Is not pleasantly viewed. Nearly every newspaper ln the state has deplored It. They have looked ln vain for real Issues to the outsider, tt appears that Jackson county has been permitting Itself to be whipped into discord over little more than personal animosities. Editor Banks has on one hand shouted about the breakdown of law and government In Jackson county, and on the other hand haa hurled defiance at the court and constituted oiricert. But those things do not last forever, and perhaps a change It coming. Perhaps the decent, balanced people of It Is within their power to set the house In order. (Klnmath Falls News.) Central Pt.

BY AROUND ABE TAME states, such as diphtheria carriers, we have no evidence and no reason to Imagine that anybody carries ln his nose or throat the germs of any know disease at any time, unless he is ill with It, coming down with, con valescent from or a "carrier" of the disease In question. On the other hand, everybody knows or should know that ln the cose of a known carrier of diphtheria the carrier himself Is Immune to the disease. I think It Is a fair and uncon- trovertlble conclusion that medical science does not recognize or ac knowledge any such universal and genera germ carrying as eminent old fogies In the health and' medical world would have the public imagine, Oh, we have plenty of germs, mi crobes, bacteria ln the mouth, nose and throat, but these are tame and harmless, at least to ourselves, even If they may sometimes be capable of causing disease when passed over to other persons.

Comment. on the D Ay's News By FRANK JENKINS It YOU'RE a full-grown man, with whiskers on your chin and the smell of pipe smoke on your breath, you probably tell yourself that you know what you want that nobody else makes YOUR decision for YOU. So listen to this: - "Eighty per cent of the men who come to this store to buy clothes for themselves bring their wives along, and It la toe wives who really do the picking." The apeaker la an outstanding clothing man of Southern Oregon. These men folks aren't so big and bold and self-reliant as they like to think, are they? M-p HERE isn't one man ln a bun 1 dred," this olothler continues, "who can walk right Into a store and pick out a hat tor himself, When It conies to buying hats, men Just simply haven't any confidence In themselves at all. "So they bring their wives along nearly always. And -ere'a a secret: About three times out of four, the man would get a better loklng bat li he left It up to the salesman In stead of leaving It up to his wife." Turn that over ln your minds, girls. t BUT If you're Inclined to be burned up about It, please don't take It out ot the clothing man. If you just have to Jump on somebody, jump on this writer for letting the cat out of the bag. And go right on picking out your husband's hats. You can do a bet ter Job of It than he can and be sides he's secretly glad to be able to push the responsibility oft onto you After you've done the picking, you see, you can't tell blm how terrible he looks ln it. TAKING K'a word for It and aa sumlng that some eight out of ten men are Influenced by their wives In the choice of their clothes, let's see It there's any suob thing as reciprocity In this busband and wife business. Do the men help pick out their wives' clothes? A big Southern Oregon ready-to- wear dealer says not. "Not one woman ln a hundred," he says, "brings her husband along to help pick out a dress." WHEN. It comes to clothes, at least, the. women know their own minds better than the men. This writer, by the way, has a notion that they know their own minds better ALL the time. This, of course. Is strictly confi dential, and for heavens sake don't mention It to a soul. A statement like this could get a fellow Into a lot of trouble. WHILE we're on the subject of buy ing and selling, here are some rather Interesting figures about milk: "At the present time, much 4 per cent milk Is being produced and sold at a price of $1.50 per 100 pounds. In eaclt hundred pounds, there are 46.4 quarts ot milk. Thus the pro ducer receives (leas hauling and oth er charges) and the distributor pays 3.33 cents per quart. Much of thla milk la sold at wholesale at S cents a quart. For pasteurizing, bottling, delivering, col lecting, loss of bottles, loss ot ac counts, overhead, wages and profit, the milk distributor receives -.77 cents per quart. "It Is very doubtful If 4 per cent milk can be produced at 8.33 cents per quart also It la very doubtful If any distributor can profitably deliver milk at a total return of 3.77 cents per quart. However, It la being done on several of Oregon's larger mar kets." These figures, by the wsy, are vouched for by Paul O. Adams, execu tive secretary of the Oregon Dairy Council. JUST for tun, iet'a make a Uttle comparison. For pasteurising, bottling, deliver ing, collecting, loss of bottles, loss of accounts, overhead, wages and profit on a quart ot milk, the distributors are getting 3.77 cents. For Just delivering a letter across town, the government of the United States gets THREE cents. Either the milk distributors are doing a marvelously good Job or the government Is doing a rotten Job. Anyway, it gives us a good slsnt on the relative efficiency ot govern ment ln business and private enter prise ln business. Communications Ashamed of Is Now.

(Associated Press Photo 10 Lewis Ulrlch, well known resident of the city and county, assumed charge of the county commissary to day, succeeding R. B. Griffin as com missary manager. The appointment of Ulrlch was approved by the coun ty court. Hamilton Patton contin ues as county relief manager. The change was made following the request of the citizen's commit tee of 100, that abuses ln the Issu ance of the food, allegedly prevail ing, be corrected, and that a closer check-up be Inaugurated. It was Lewis Ulrlch claimed that transient Indigents were waxing fat, and that newcom ers were "repeaters" at the counter. to the disadvantage of many worthy and long time residents. Flagrant evidence of Impositions on the char ity of the county were reported, and Investigated. The county commissioners a week ago, declared that no worthy resi dent of the county In need of as sistance would be slighted, but that steps would be taken to curb known evils. It was reported that a group of auto tourists, camped near the. city had mode frequent calls at the com missary and described Jackson coun ty, "as the sofest spot on the Pacific coast." Part of the group are said to have departed last Sunday and Monday. It was also claimed that the commissary and the local dis turbed conditions were attracting wanderers from nothern California and Klamath county. Chief of Polios McCredle reported yesterday, that requests for gasoline from transients the past two months, ln comparison with other years, has shown a marked decrease, and there are few applications. It has been the practice to give stranded indi gents with autoa gasoline, to speed them on their way. It is planned to establish a check ing system. In the distribution of funds, food, and work, as soon as the governor's relief commission named yesterday, starts to function. Each applicant . will be checked, as to his time of residence, his circum stances, whether or not he is a prop erty owner, or man of family, or haa dependents. The policy will be. It is understood, "to look after our own first." Dog Owners Rush , To Obtain License There was a general ruaft by mall and In person of dog owners to the county clerk's office today to pro cure dog licenses.

It was fixed by the county court recently at 25 cents for male dogs and 60 cents for female dogs. could find room for them. They all bore the Impressive placard "Thla Is a Great Country." Yes, I will admit that alogan was convincing. Now what hae come over that Big Uttle City If the headlines ln the Portland papers speak the truth? At first they spoke of the "gang," and now I am about to conclude "gang sters" have replaced the "gang." well, never before have I been ashamed of the place, but I must admit It looks too bad now. I hope Governor Meier la right ln his belief that the good people there will settle their troubles snd get back to normal. Why not bring out those old auto signs again, "This Is a Great Coun try"?

Limitations on Stock Losses. Certain new provisions are contain ed In the revenue act of 1932 under the above-mentioned heading limiting the deduction for losses sustained on the sale or exchange of stocks and bonds' which are not capital assets that la, which have not been held for a period of more than two years. : In accordance with the limitation, such losses may be deducted only against gains from similar transac tions for the year, although the amount of the excess of such loss disallowed as a deduction for the year 1932 may be carried forward and taken as a deduction against gains from similar transactions for the suc ceeding year to the extent of the taxpayer's net Income for the year . 132. It is also to be noted that such loss may not be ofset against capital gains. The above-mentioned limitation la : in general applicable to both corpora tions and individuals as well as otther taxpayers. By the terms of the statute, however, the limitation does not apply to dealers In securities aa to stocks and bonds acquired for re sale to customers or to banks or trust companies Incorporated under the laws of the United Htates or of any state or territory. In defining "stocks and bonds" for the purpose of such limitation th statute specifically excludes there- " from bonds issued oy a government or political subdivision thereof. Such exclusion not only Includes bonds Is- " sued by the government of the United ' States or a state or political eubdl- vision thereof but also includes bonds issued by a foreign country or for eign municipality. It therefore fol- lows that the deduction, for losses . sustained on the sale or exchange of such bonds Is not subject. to such limitation. : Rolph Appointee A. A.
