It Is a very frequent experience of mine to be stopped on the etreet by an owner of rental property, and en ter Into a discussion of rental prob lem, and Invariably they make the remark that aomethlng ought to be done about It. Finally, a few of ui decided to get the use of the courthouse audito rium and see what we could do. We have met three times and only a handful out; we have had commit tees working and have reports to make along various lines, and are ready to take action that will put our business on a real business basis; we are ready to help the fellow who does not know the rental game; we have propositions that will save you thousands of dollars, but we will not take action unless there Is a good crowd of you out.

His name was Pucci, and he zave me a doubtful glance from his shining black eyes and sidled nearer, peering over my arm while I wrote, as if what he saw might confirm his suspicion. He cocked his head on one side, ruffled up the pale yellow feathers of his crest, and watched my pen in a knowing fashion while 1 filled out the card of arrival which the hotel clerk who was also the manager had handed me. The card had thoughtfully been printed in two lan guages, French and English, and I filled In the blanks rap idly. Date: November 29, 1931. Surname: Sundean. Chris :ian name: James. At place of residence I hesitated ; I wouldn't say Mos :ow, for I loathed the place, and as a matter of fact I had tot been In Moscow but north of lt 0 Mr thoughts hovered Indecisively over - various possibilities: New fork, Chicago, Denver. The card olalnly said "Permanent residence, ind permanent residence waa a thing I had not The cockatoo's waiting black eves, no lest than the consciousness that the swsxthj, tat manager across the desk was noting my brief hesitation, nudged ma to decision, and I wrote New York. Occupation: engineer. Arriving from: Berlin. The cockatoo scratched himself vigorously, bis eurved beak under tn wins; he withdrew It hurried ly to watch ma push the paper acrosa the desk and to writ my nam also In th open register which th manager waa holding to ward me. Th pag on which I wrote was entirely bar except for an Ink blot, and It gar m what, I later found, waa a quit correct Impres sion that In November there) war not many guests at th hotel. Thla Urn 1 did not heiltat at place ot residence. Th cockatoo was reassured only when 1 put down th pen; be ottered hoars mur mur which was ajitamilf lb: as to The Only Way JUDGE DUNCAN 's recommendation that Sheriff Sohermer ' horn be suspended from office is the only decision any competent jurist could reach, in view of the situation which exists. Such action should be taken not only in justice to the people of Jackson county, but as Judge Duncan says, in justice to the sheriff himself. That Sheriff Schermerhorn, in view of ALL THE CIRCUM STANCES, should wish to remain in office, still remains one of the major mysteries of the recent "unpleasantness." But that he not only wishes to remain, but intends to remain, until he is literally kicked put, now appears certain. Such an attitude not only shows a complete failure to grasp the proprieties of the case; but also a moral callousness, which if he hadewever been indicted for complicity in ballot cases, would in our judgment, disqualify Mr. Schermerhorn from holding the position of sheriff, at THE PRESENT TIME. a AS WE have frequently stated in this column," at such a critical time as this, with the process of cleaning up these cases of lawlessness just starting, the man at the head of local law enforcement should be above suspicion. The people of Jackson county are entitled to have as sheriff a man in no way connected, directly or indirectly, with the criminal cases which must be disposed of. If Sheriff Schermerhorn has was in no way involved, in the ballot pases, or any other eases, he can establish these facts in court. But until he does this, he and to the people he wau chosen to jicrve step out, and let some man, not implicated in any way, take over the administration of his office. An Admirable Idea COUNTY JUDGE PEHL continues to hold meetings in the country districts, where far from the scene of battle, he hopes to continue the aampnign of misrepresentation and dis tortion, which put him in office, and apparently believes, can keep him there. ' $ Judge Fehl doesn't want to everything possible to delay legal action. lie wants to try his case on the political stump, in the school houses and in the columns of his newspaper. . . These methods have been very have a pious idea they are not future. For oounty officials, particularly other members of the county court, are now attending these rural meetings. They are prepared to call the speaker when he makes false charges; they are demanding proof when he makes criminal accusations. At the Beagle meeting recently Commissioner Ncalon asked all those present to report to the of dishonesty, or charges bordering on dishonesty "so every body can get at the bottom of them," The county officials intend to inal and slanderous charges to and present their evidence in have no evidence. An admirable ideal Let this method be followed up, persistently, and these rural meetings will soon be abandoned by those who have found them so profitable politically. Once lot them become a medium of truth telling instead of the reverse, and the battle for clean politics, and integrity in public office. is won. $3.95 and 13.05 buys more Easier smartneas In Brownbllt Shoes.

Every five years or so the con ductor prints some mean little wise crack here about a reducing Joke . . . say reducing by putting some salts in your bath or by wear lng a magic gar ment or by hav ing some esoteric massage or elec tric or ray treat ment that melt the fat and dis poses of It while you read the funny paper. The bald assertion In variably brings a number of peppery letters, most of them more or lesa anonymous. The latest thrust In that direction brought a letter from a reader, and the yarn she spina wins for her the title above conferred, in cidentally, her narrative conveys ( good lieal t,H lesson if you can read between the lines. Hore Is the es sence of It: Dear Sir: Some time ago you made the statement that no reducing roll ers, etc., would really reduce flesh, and you said only diet and exercise could do so safely and effectively. Well, let me tell you my ex perience. All diets failed. Even Dr. Brady's whole wheat, flax seeds, etc., and walking two miles a day, eating frulte and vegetables, etc. I bought a reducing roller hav ing four rubber rolls each having suction cups ... I rolled my tummy and chest five minutes, also my hips, back, etc, five min utes, night and morning, and fi nally I rolled for twenty minutes night and morning. What la the result after two months? Need no diet, circulation bet ter than ever, waist slender and curves In naturally, hips slender, complexion clear and pink, pa tient always on her toes, ready to Jump over the moon . . . Right there was where I conferred the title of Baronesa Munchausen, when the lady's personality under went that sudden change. From first person to third In a line. Sounds as tho she were copying the description out of a folder, what? There Is more to come. The Bar oness la Just getting warmed up: My mother tried It on her left knee, that waa getting stiff and painful. Knee all better now, all gone, hurrah for the roller. Everybody should have one. Mas sage Is the only way to keep fit and well. Diets I think are no WONDER PLANES DINAJPUR, India, April 8. (AP) The airplane piloted by P. F. M.

For the next fifteen minutes the Baroness compares the fine sturdy children and men of Scotland with the puny specimens we have on this side of the Atlantic and ascribes the superiority of Scotch and English people to their tea drinking, bread and Jam, meat and potatoes and their scorn for such fada aa orange Juice, tomato Juice, overheated schools, vl tamlnes and the like. A certain large business concern sponsors some such gadget which, purports to break down the fat Into a fluid which is easily "eliminated from the body. Thla la plausible enough to the mind of one Ignorant of elementary physiology. The vigorous exercise the Baroness and her mother got from applying the roller so thoroly, no doubt con tributed much to the benefits both experienced. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Artichoke This Down. Please advise whether Jerusalem artichokes are beneficial for diabetic patients or whether the sugar In them la especially adapted for use In the diet of a person with diabetes. A. D.

Neither la the sugar In honey (levu lose) more suited to the needs of one with diabetes than is cane sugar. Price, What Is the usual price of serum? Is $300 too much to ask for a tube of serum about three Inches long and the thickness of a lead pencil? It Is to be used on a cancer patient. Mrs. L, E. AnswerThat la outrageous. There Is no serum, at any price, that will cure cancer Do not be humbugged by the serum fakers. Preserving Food. My friend maintains that aa long aa food tastes all right it la whole-; some to eat, regardless of whether It was cooked three or four days before. I think cooked food should be con sumed within 24 hours. For Instance, baked macaroni with tomatoes; would it be all right to eat suoh food five days after It was cooked, Just warm ing It up again to serve it? M. F. It. Answer Your friend's rule la a fair general rule. Of course, It depends on the character of the food and the efficiency of refrigeration If It la kept In refrigerator. Generally, any food Is fit to eat aa long aa it does not taste, look or smell "queer." (Copyright John F. DUle Co.) . over Mt, Everest Monday. Fellowes was not Injured.

Instructed to make an inspection of the pro posed Everglades National Park in Florida, found It convenient to go south shortly after a cold Christmas in Washington, and on December 30 reached the Florida sunshine. It im mediately hired two house-boats, the Windswept and the Chlco, and kept them for five days at an expense (for rental, not purchase) of $1687.00. That Included oil, gas. guide, pilot service and the Inevitable "Incidentals." The committee later hired a blimp and paid $7fi for a brief view of the pro posed park from the air.

It la a long and lean season, win ter In Armene, with tew tourists braving, for more than a night or two. its bitter, incessant wind, yet this manager waa apparently quite willing to see a paying guest walk out ot his hotel and go to another. It did not however, occur to me at the moment as being strange. I was preoccupied with another affair. Such small things decide one's destiny.
