Burroughs and Miss Clara Turner, both of the Tribune of fice, were married by Judge LaDow. Mr. John Watson Is building himself a new house Just back and overlooking the planing mill. As he Is a bachelor and the .new house Is an extensive one, It looke rather suspicious. ' (50 Yrs. Ago Ool.) The nation Is on the brink of a Democratic administration, and a Democratic president In the White House. The event Is somewhat sha dowed locally by ohronlo cusoedneas and continuous horse-play. In the shuffle of the New Deal, new post masters will be dealt. In the hub bub, the new postmaster has been ' lost sight of It he ever was In sight. It Is doubtful If the community will ever get around to fighting about who will read the postcards, and put the end of the month duns In the wrong box.

If a quint Is defested, 37 to 4, the sport scribes say: "The game was much clceer than the score Indicates," or, "the loser was a better team than the core Indicates." A 47-4 score Indi cates that the game was net close, and that the grand Jury shouM launch an lnvstlgatlon to find out If any crtms was committed In the losera getting the 4 points. As to the second allegation, It doth appear that the loser was a worse team than the score Indicates. HORRORS OF MATRIMONY (Stafford. Kan., Alliance) They had met, loved and were here to have their love given the legal aanctlon necessary to their happiness, and were not long In finding their way to Judge Kirks office, where In lil usual dignified styls he tied the silken cord of Hymen which no man dares put asunder. The bride was besutlful, lovely and as llmld aa ths first blushes of the morn. The bride groom was a handsome and manly young fellow, and a type of those among the mountaineers who have Crowned Colorado with the glory she wears. Both seemed Impatient at delay and when the judge had Joined their hands and sloquently pro nounced the mman and wife a blush of Joy crimsoned the chaeka of both bride and bridegroom. Like two un caged birds In the early springtime full of aong they flew to our f Ity and weremated in aa atmosphere of Joy, leaving on tha 4 o'clock Broncho Limited for their horns near Oay Hill, looking as supremely happy aa If they were sauntering down the stead of the regular rates for corn flower lined paths of never-ending , putlng the normal tax and surtax on Joy. HOW WE APPEAR IN EYES OF OUTSIDERS ILL WINDS BLOW. Unbridled hstreds and continued expressions of violent passion and tlireati. coupled with the hurling of charged, founded and unfounded, have brought Jackioii county Into auch a itate of turmoil, that It will be many months before her harassed courts can clean up the mess. . After listening to and reading the virulent effusions of Editor Llewellyn Banks for a year or so, the entire community apparently has taken sides and Is drawn up In bitterly hostile camps. Latest news reports from the district Indicate that empty rantlngs about alleged corruption and threats of extra legal action, hare apparently taken root and produced actual accomplishment, ' It Is time that the more sane and took matters Into their own hands and brought some degree of reason and common sense Into action. It Is hard enough for a peaceful and united com munity to get along these days without Indulging In exhibitions of actiTely hostile and futUe dissension. A reading between the lines of the story of the present Jackson county squabble Indicates that a disagreement of minor proportions and little, If any, public Import has been fanned to large proportions by blasts of un bridled passion. The sober people down there should tneir own thinking for a while (Astoria Budget,) Arrest of the Jackson county sheriff and county Judge and some of their lackeys Is said to hare had a sobering effect on many members of the so called good government league.

Rich children In England are four times as likely to be subjected to re moval of tonsils as are poor children, rjs according to i inougnuui ausiy sis of the tonsil lectomy situs tlon by Olovsr snd Wilson In the British Medi cal Journal. This Is Just another r a a a p n why It Is lucky for a kid to be poor. After all It Is not ths poor little rich kid that gets all the breaks. These English physicians csll atten. tlon to the fact that tonsillitis Is at least as frequent among the poor as It la among tha rich. Reading between the lines, as some of us lowllfe scoundrels do, It would seem that the doctors over there pre fer to operate when the outlook . Is bright for a good lee. But you can't get the right view of the situation that way. You must take Into con sideration also the fact that rich chil dren aie pampered more than poor children are, with excess of olothing, over-heated abodes, pap or refined food, and hence they are more sus- ceptfble to overgrowth of adenoid tissues, so that their tonsils appear more abnormal to casual Inspection. These Investigators report that the effects of tonsillectomy on rheuma tism, chorea and heart trouble are doubtful and they declare there la no sufficient causa for the routine re moval of tonsils In a rheumatlo or potentially rheumatlo child, simply as measure of prophylaxta against rheumatism. (In ye olde countree the doctors "still stolidly call it rheu matism, the weather and. climate being what It la over, there, and It never oocura to anybody to remark "Indeed? And what la the nature of thla rheumatism, Doctor?") Then the English Investigators de scribe observations made on the rela tive Incidence of upper respiratory In fections among children of moderately well-to-do people In boarding aohools, some 14,000 children In their early 'teens, some of them still having their tonsils Intact, more than half having hud tonsils removed. They could see no advantage from the operation In this respect, Including the ques tion of susceptibility to diphtheria and sosrlet fever, middle ear Inflam mation, and mastoiditis. Their ob servations .confirm and support the Your Income Tax A series of dally articles bated on revenue act of 1031 and designed to aid those required to file in come tax returns for year 193V NO. IT Losses on Stock Transactions. No gain or loss la recognised for Income-tax purposes as a result of the exchange of stock or securities In a oorporaUon solely tor stock or securi ties In another corporation In pursu snce of a plan of reorganisation to which both corporations are parties or as a result of the exchange of stock or securities in a corporation solely for stock or seourlttee In the same corporation In connection with a recapitalisation. Where money or other property Is received along with such erchangea, no loss Is reoognleed, although a taxable gain may result. Ths statue also prohibits the deduc tion for any loss from the esle or other disposition-of stock or securi ties where the taxpayer, within a period of 30 days before or after the date of sale or other disposition, ac quires or entera Into a contract or option to acquire substantially iden tical stock or securities. The treatment of gains and losses resulting from the sale or exchange of capital assets undr the revenue act of 1033 remains the same aslt was under the revenue act of 1023. The term "capital assets" means with eertsln exceptions property held by the taxpayer for a period of more than two years, and such property, of course. Includes stocks and securi ties. In the case of an Individual, any loss sustained In respect or capl tal assets la first oafset against any stains from such source. A capltsl net gain may, at the election of the taxpayer other than s oorooratlon. na taxed at tnt rate of law per cent In- 'ordinary Income.

Cunning ham In respect to the effects of ton sillectomy In a similar number of col lege women. We told of Dr. Cunning ham's distinguished contribution here some time ago. The final opinion of Drs. Glover, und Wilson Is that a large proportion of the tonsillectomies now done In children are unnecessary, entail some risk, and give little or no return. I am not sufficiently familiar with the status of medicine In England to say whether they have brass spec lallata over there, but they have Har ley street, and If the country can tol erate a bit. of hokum like that It Is quite likely that the specialist evil prevails nearly as extensively aa It does here. At any rate It I no credit to English good sense or hardheaded nesa that more than half of 14,000 children In boarding schools hove been subjected to tonsillectomy. Not that removal of tonsils la wrong; It Is often quite necessary for the child's well-being. But It Is surely absurd to think that more than half of the well-to-do class children require such an operation. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Deafness From Hardened Cerumen. Recently, I became deaf suddenly, Went to doctor. He removed some accumulations of hardened wax, Hearing perfect now. Is there any thing I can do to prevent recurrence of this trouble? M. L. S.

Never Insert anything In ear canal, unless under physician's direction. Hydrophobia-phobia. Daughter, aged 3. scratched on cheek by dog's toeth. I painted It Immediately with mercurocnrome. Is there much danger? How can I find If the dog has rabies? Mrs. B. K. Answer Best course Is to have dog confined two weeks under observa tion of veterinary physician. If at the end of that time the veterinary certifies the dog Is well, forget It. Your treatment was sufficient in any circumstance, I think. Consult a Flzztr-lan. Is carbonio water a healthful drink? What effect has It on the kidneys? J. . D. Answer Carbonated water la whole some and refreshing for occasional use. I do not recommend habitual drinking of It. It has no other effect than that of tap water on the kidneys. (Copyright John F.

That looks like strict Impartiality, but apparently ISN'T, because the Japs manufacture their own ammu nition and the Chinese don't. So It la the -Chinese that are hurt. DDT, If your sympathy la wl'Jj D china, don't worry. If she can find the money, she can buy the guns and ammunition. When there la money to buy, some body will always be found to sell, Prohibition has taught us. R U6SIA, we are hearing again, la and may decide to get Into It. If she does, It will be on the side of the Chinese. If she does that, there will be something to read about, for Russia has the biggest army In the world. How good the Russian army Is of course, nobody knows. AaV IF RUS3IA should get In and make a real war of It, what would be the effect on us? Again It Is hard to say, but one result would probably be higher prices for wheat. If Russia goes to war, she'll con sume all .her own wheat Instead of selling It abroad at low prices. W HAT will WE do about this war? tight and do nothing at all, selling anybody who wants It anything he can pay for, but refusing to get drawn Into the fighting. If we had followed that policy back In 1017, wVd be a lot better off today. THE legislature of Oregon Is talk ing old age pensions. The old age pension system means, In effect, that when you get too old to work the state will keep you. If you are a normal person, you will say: "Why, If. the state is go ing to keep me when I get old, should I work and save NOW In or der to provide ft competence for my self In my old age?" W,hy, indeed? EANWHILEltyou want an old ATI age pension and don't want to wait for the state to provide It preferring, like a good American, to PROVIDE FOR YOURSELF go to some good life Insurance agent and in a few minutes he will show you how to get Just what you want r I w YOU think Southern Oregon's weather hasn't been what it really ought to be In the past month, read this paragraph from a Portland news paper: "February produced only 46.8 hours of sunshine out of a possible 30.S hours, and Viere were only two clear days, according to the monthly re port of Edward S.
