HANDY DURING CAMPAIGNS (Publishers Weekly) A new note In Bible manufac ture has been Introduced by James Pott & Co., who announc ed last week a line of Bibles with zipper fasteners so made as to enclose completely the leaves of the Bible when the covers am fastened together. This, It Is claimed, preserves the good condition and shape of the Bible. The Democratlo party of Jackson county, expects to learn soon who will put the new pens In the post office penholders, once a year for the next four years. Times change. Everybody who , wanted to run on a dry plank, 14 years sgo, now desires to run oil a wet plank. Quite a few around here have an nounced ttiey will stand behind the governor. The governor should make them get around In front where he can watch 'em. Wrestling Is coming to the fore again. . Wrestling Is a terrible way to get pancakes, even In a good year, like 1928.

It begins to look like the wood dealers had been fooling with the weather again. . HYMN TO BUNK I am bunkum. I am bunkum the best friend of the book agent and the politician. Without my assistance few men would ever get married and even few would be able to keep out of the divorce court. I am the best friend of the boot legger. I am the first thing hesrd by the babe only then I ani not recog nised And the last thing said ' before mother earth claims you all al though then you are spared hearing me. I am the best friend of the pro fessional upllfter and the worst en emy of the "uplifted." Without me there would be no political campaign, no windy re formers, no lying demagogues. And 90 per cent of all the great "messages to humanity" would never have teen delivered. I am bunkum the last hope of the Inefficient, a soothing poultice on the wounds of the world and the panacea for the "misunderstood." In foot, I am Juit plain, everyday bunkum, the skeleton In every man's end every woman's closet. The Dubb Watson kid was a little gentleman Thurs. csuslng all con cerned to wonder what he was up to. . Indiana and Salem, Oregon, both voted "wet" this week. Indlann went crazy over prohibition and the Ku Klux Klan at the same time. Sslem being the "hop center of America." was reluctant to be helpful, to one of Its msln sources of prosperity, but Commonsense flnelly prevailed, however painful. To the Edltort To settle a dispute would you tell me whloh Is right regarding the proposed ssles tax ss It affects ths feruiCs. (A) rslsee berries and asparagus and sells them to grocery stores. He claims be would have to pay 3 on bis gross ssles. That Is If he sold (100 worth a season he would nave to pay a tax oi 2. (B) claims he would be a wholesaler silling to a retailer and Instead of paying 2 tax he would have to pay only 3-10 of one percent or only 30 cents. Which Is right? ' W. H.EATEN. Jun 7, Neither. The farmer in question, selling produce to a gro cery that is, selling any products for re-sale would have to pay NO TAX WHATEVER. The farmer is entirely exempt, on all such sales. If he is a retailer himself that is if he sells produce, eggs, milk, eto., DIRECTLY TO THE CONSUMER, then he would pay no tax until his gross sales per month equalled or exceeded $50. When they exceeded this sum, he would have to pay 2 per cent. The wholesale tax of 3-10 of 1 percent, applies not to original producers or growers, but only to jobbers middlemen those who buy from the producer and sell to the retailer. AS HAS been previously stated in this column the sales tax as passed by the last legislature, probably favors the farmers, more than any other one class in the state. The proceeds of the sales tax will be devoted to reduce the tax on his real property that is his FARM he will only pay the sales tax as it can be passed along to him by the merchant and then only in proportion to the purchases he makes. He is also relieved from taxes on his cattle, horses, hogs, implements and farm machinery, and he is relieved from having to make direct payments for state property tax, Only those farmers who don't understand what the sales tax really means who are deluded by the propaganda opposing it will vote against it. It is a farmers tax, if there ever was one. LIGHTNING BOLT WASHINGTON, Juno p.(AP) Shattering a panel from the private rfflc door, a bolt of lightning crashed Into the office of Senator Charles Mr Nary of Oregon here late yesterday during the height of a severe storm. No one of the several Oregonlsns In the office was hurt. Those with Mr Nary included Russell Hawkins.1 yesterday Dominated to be a member of the reeottAtructlon f justice corpo ration; Carl Shoemaker and John W. Kelly and Carl Smith, Oregon news paper correspondent., The Yanks Are Supreme AMERICAN supremacy in prize fighting is again demon strated. The Max from Germany is dethroned by the Max from California. With the exception of Bob Fitzsimmons who came from Australia, the heavyweight title has been held in this country, ever since the redoubtable John L. Sullivan. In the other departments of fisticuffs, Americans also have been supreme. The reason is probably temperamental rather than physical. Americans are "go-getters." Thir. trait applied in the squared ring, makes them " killers;" In the art of boxing Americans have no marked advantage. Nor in physical strength and stamina, are Americans superior. But in the business-like per formance of getting results, they lead the world. And in prize fighting the result desired is a knockout! rIS man Baer is no boxer. His methods of extermination are not strictly according to Hoyle. But he has the killing instinct, and once in the ring, everything is subordinated to getting results, which in the accepted American creed is all that counts. So Germany's "Dempsey" has to bow to Tankee superiority, along with Bombadier Wells of England, Carpentier of France, Firpo of Argentine, Uzcudun of Spain, Tom Heeney of New Zealand, ftud sooner or later Camera of Italy. It may be a doubtful compliment, bat in the K. O. business, the American breed is supreme. Change the Income Tax "PHOMAS S. IAMONT in 1930 paid no income tax. As a Morgan partner he had enjoyed on income of over $100,000, but he sold stook to his wife for about $114,000 less than he paid for it. In other words this capital loss exceeded his income, so he paid nothing to Uncle Sam. A few days later he bought back tlie same stock from, Mrs. Latnont, at the same price, so was just where he started from. Pretty soft. The other Morgan partners did practically the Bame thing, as did most of the wealthy men on Wall Street. There was nothing illegal in this. The law allowed deduc tions for capital losses. But morally the sale to Mrs. Lamont was an income tax evasion. For aotually no loss was sustained. The stock was simply transferred back again. That same stock may be held for a period of years, and Bold at the same price at which it was originally purchased. So there will be no aotual loss, whatever. Obviously a law which allows this sort of juggling is all wrong. Capital losses and capital gains snoum oe enminaiea from taxation entirely, the former leads to tax losses, the latter to stock aooumulations, which result in-bull markets, unwarranted by actual financial and business conditions invit ing inevitable reaction and probable collapse.

June 0 (UP) A pitch ed battle tn which furniture, cooking utensils and a butcher knife figured was being Investigated last night as ; police held Oeorge Dojkocvlh, 40, on ; a charge of slaying bis friend, Wll j Ham Wynne, 40. ! Dojkovlch told police Wynne came ' to his home for dinner and they quarreled, over a woman both were i fond of. Police said Dojkovlch told I j them he grabbed a large knife and Long ago I said here that the fe male fleams (ltc& mite) penetrates the akin, burrows along under the sutlcle and in the :oure of her eight rveeka engagement neposlte fifty eggs, c h ft eggs hatch Into lusty young I ml tea and these won develop Into the younger gen :aratlon and pres ently have little lourrows of their iswn. I explained Chat the Itch, cables, whether you call It Cuban, seven year or old fashioned Itch or ascribe Its mam testations to "uric acid" or "Impure blood" or buckwheat pancakes Is con veyed by clothing, towels, bedding, personal toilet articles and direct contact. One case is enougn to Keep any family busy. Prevention con sists in baking or boiling ever pos sible article which has been In con tact with the affected Individual. And of course avoiding actual bodily contact with the affected Individual. Then, being la an expansive mood, I offered some practical advice on treatment of the Itch. tvI said: "Plain sulphur ointment Is one of the most effective remedies, provided It Is thoroughly rubbed Into every bit of Involved 'skin after a complete and vigorous hot soap and water scrubbing. The scrubbing Is essential to soften hardened cuticle over the burrows. The parasiticide should ba rubbed In at night and the patient should retire well greas ed. Repeat the operation, bath and all, for three nights. Then a final bath, complete change of clothes and bed clothing and a rest for a few days. If the treat ment has been thorough the -seven year itch ceases right there In three days' time.' This was not halt bad for those days. But we live and learn, and I've Just caught up with the advanc ing knowledge of the Itch and how to treat It. The scientific treatment of Itch makes me feel pretty cheap, I can tell you. I am Indebted to "Practical Medicine Yearbook," edited by Dr. Bernard Fantus for this and possibly someone will remember the vulgar pun I made on this good teacher's name when I challenged this teaching about skin absorption. Well, old timers. I'm glad that I can now assure you It Is not neces sary to scrub within an Inch of your life in order to treat Itch success fully, and It Isn't even necessary to use sulphur ointment If you dislike the color or odor of It. In fact, any excessively vigorous or Irritating treatment does harm. It seems that the acarus or mite is accessible only at night when it comes up to feed and breed on the surface. A thin film of a wear pasasltlclda (parasite killing) ointment or oil applied to all parts except the head tor three nlgrhts successively la sufficient. No scrubbing is necessary, because no such remedy penetrated the skin anyhow. No baths are necessary In the course of the three nights' treat ment. Each batch of parasites will hatch out In 48 hours. So it follows that If all the adult mites on the surface are killed by the first, appli cation of medicine, only two genera tions remain unhatched In the bur rows, and these will perish In the second and third anointings. If you dislike plain sulphur oint ment, use 1 per cent B-naphthol ointment its gets the paraeltea as well as the sulprur ointment does, and Is rather lesa irritating to the skin. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Do Have Something to Eat When one's heart is weak one must eat to keep It beating? When one gets enough to keep up one's strength arteritis la encouraged. Isn't that a fine situation? (B. B.) Answer. No, it Is just a silly no tion. Who says food has anything to do with arthritis? That la a quack's game you are playing. Per haps in some cases of arthrlcls the patient would suffer less if he took more varied victuals and quit his fool avoiding of this and that at the behest of soma charlatan. Pure fresh raw milk or even any old pas teurized milk, and plenty of cheese, are the best foods, or rather the foods thi arthritis patient should consume most liberally. Chatter, Spatter, What's the Matter? I wish some slogan might be given publicly regarding the results of pro miscuous spray or droplet Infection. Our whole family was disabled tor a month, an expense we could not af ford. (T. H., Pastor). Ana. How about "Never mind wet feet, drafts or breezes? See that you cover your coughs and sneezes. If you have the crl you must also cover conversation, for the spray from that is mainly what peppers this nation.' The health authorities are willing to permit the education of the public about cough and sneeze spray, but try to tell people about conversation spray and see how lonely you will be. Probably the moisture spray given off when one talks (which carlea not more than five feet) Is the main means of Infection with crl, flu, grip or what .have you. and cough and sneeze spray get In their deadly work among the very Ignorant class.
