In their time, they have suffered from agitation of some consequence, but it never reach ed the paranolcal heights of the local hubbub. When they got through fighting, they stopped quarreling.

Its Up to THE Chamber of Commerce work, in its effort to organize local growers of small fruits, and thus stabilize their market. Only by organization and consequent stabilization can red ink be prevented, in the stone fruit industry in Southern Oregon. But the Chamber of Commerce can't do it ALL. It must have the support and cooperation of the individual peach and apricot growers. And each individual grower must be willing to sacrifice SOMETHING for the good of the industry as a whole. X7 E can't have our cake and " independence and market LESS, and also expect to receive benefits of organization and stabilization. In such an organization there there must be sufficient loyalty secure UNANIMOUS SUPPORT Unless the individual growers the proposition is a failure before TPHE situation is critical for the growers of small fruits. The Chamber of Commerce has generously offered its services to help them out of the emergency, and toward this end have received the support of local retailers. It's a question of the growers, as a unit getting behind the chamber and receiving SOMETHING for their fruit or letting inner dissensions and unwarranted suspicions, defeat their course, and getting NOTHING. . As usual in such matters, it is" up to the individuals chiefly interested to decide. In our judgment they have everything to gain and nothing to lose by giving this cooperative plan a thor ough trial. Roosevelt Is 117E have received a letter from Burton Palmer, secretary of the state reconstruction advisory board, from which we quote as follows: I am inclosing a press release which I feel will explain the position of the governor, and nla state advisory board, upon the Importance of the various communities authorising by their vote the expenditure of money under the Public Works Act. The federal government has taken this method as the means ot breaking the back of the depression, but in order for this to be accomplished each community must assume its fair share , of the responsibility. I know that when the people realise the Importance ot this work, viewing It from the light of a return to prosperity Instead of a mere voting of bonds for public Improvement, we shall find a safe majority of the sound thinkers in every community backing the president in his campaign. The president has done well in his efforts towards our" good, and this Is one way in which the citizens of the country may express approval of hla methods. The press release in question emphasizes the fact that the government will reduce its appropriations for direct charity, perhaps by 50 percent and leave it up to the various communi ties to secure such relief, by voting bonds for needed publio works. . ' . The sewage disposal bonds to be voted on in Medford a week from today come under this classification. The proposition has been endorsed by the state, and President Roosevelt now urges the voting of such bonds, for the purpose of reducing unemploy ment, and breaking the back of the depression. While the government approval has not been secured, that it will be secured if the bonds are voted, is as certain as any thing can be. It is scarcely conceivable that the government would urge such action, and then when its advice had been fol: lowed, would refuse to sanction it. 1 ""PHIS means that if these bonds are voted, they will be taken over by the government at a low interest charge, to run 20 or 30 years, and that in addition the government will make Medford an outright cash gift of $30,000. And this for a publio improvement that from every stand point is sorely needed. We are sure the more the people of Medford look into this sewage disposal proposition, the more strongly they will favor it. It will menn better community health for all time, and an added payroll in Medford, during the season when payrolls are most needed. Equally important, it will mean Medford getting behind President Roosevelt's reconstruction program, and doing its bit to assist him in placing the country upon its financial feet again. The Stock Market Crashes 'T'lIE stock market crashes on Wednesday and Thursday, merely show that Wall Street as usual, had advance infor mation on what was going to happen in Washington. President Roosevelt's announcement of a nation-wide drive, for shorter working hours and higher wages, for the purpose of increasing the purchasing power of the American people, was released after the stock exchange closed Thursday afternoon. Such a program means ah end or at least a radical readjust mentof the bull market that has been roaring along since April. Tho cornerstone of this bull market was the determina tion of industry, as a whole, to take advantage of low labor costs, and rising prices, to lay aside a surplus of goods, and make a killing later on. In other words, the increase In all line of manufacturing, was NOT due to increased demand, based upon increased buying power; but upon the belief that prices were certain to inorease later on. The obvious danger of such a program was overpro duction, and sooner or later a major crash, that might haw approached the disaster of 1929. "THERE is no question whatever that the administration keenly realized this. Nor is there much question, that the president's announcement, was timed, to force a readjustment NOW, instead of waiting until serious harm had been done. As evidence kindly note General Johnson's comment! "The Wall Street crash wasn't so unfortunate, after all." ' It wasn't from the standpoint of real financial health, and permanent prosperity, although as usual it was from ths stand point of the poor little lambs who were caught, t e ' e e e TT1IE entire situation merely demonstrates again, that this Now Deal is no cam pniwu catch-word, or empty political gesture it means just what it says a New Deal is what this the Growers ii doing a rery commendable eat it. We can't enjoy absolute fruit as we wish REGARD' must be a definite plan, and and discipline in the ranks, to of the plan. are willing to grant this, then it starts. Behind It country is going to get, if President Roosevelt has his way about it. Wall Street's eyes were opened to that fact, when the news trickled out from the White House Wednesday. That, rather than any change in the fundamental business situation was the reason for the Wednesday and Thursday crashes.

We can nott enlarge on this here; It is explained only concisely In. the booklet what would you expect for a dime and a atamped envel ope bearing your address? Fear Is the prlmsry emotion which gives rise to anger, rage. worry, anxiety, lrritabiuty, sorrow, melancholia and all the other sec ondary emotional states that harass the "nervous." Before you ean go further in this course.- children, you must hsve a fair conception of evolution, and you can't get that from any critic. The instinctive or natural reaction to fear Is fight or flight. It is only when or because either or both of these natural reactions are restrained or repressed that "nervousness" oc curs. Actual combat or running away Is always the best preventive of "ner vousness" of any kind. Fortunately there are various good substitutes for fight or night, all physical, none mental. Dismiss sll thought of "self control" or "power to mask emo tions" or "the ability to preserve nonchalance or to keep bla temper under extreme annoyance." Far bet ter for your own health and wel fare NOT to strive for such unnat ural effects. , Athletics is the great auccedaneum for combat or escape. Athletics is the art of training by exercise for excellence in contests or gamea of skill, strength, sglllty or endurance. it la necessary to distinguish clear ly athletics from sport. Athletics is Individual. Sport la social or com mercial. American college football Is sport; so Is the imitation staged by precocious high school children. Every school boy or school girl, even me cripple, has some game or some stunt or physical act In which he excela or at least finds enjoyment. svery ooy or girl should have the chance to cultivate the accomplish ment in which he or she finds pleas ure or shows special aptitude, wheth er it be gymnastic dancing, sprint ing, boxing, target shooting or rid ing. Enthusiasm for playing check ers is far better for anyone than Is love of footbaU or other commer cialised sport.

The world needs more such contests aa the Olympics provide. It is strange that with all the bla-bla over sport in this country there are so few national contests that offer oppor tunities for individuals to test (heir abilities.

A apurloua sophistication, usually envenomed around the Algonquin, hoots at poetry by Eddie Guest and literature in the Saturday Evening Post, That Guest's poems are read dally by more people than all the poems yearly by the sophisticates and that the prose of the same sneerers never appears In the Post, of course, hss nothing to do with it. It's coincidence. On Fifty-seventh street near Third avenue: A taxi swings to the curb and a young woman with a cigar ette hanging from her lips 'Jumps out. She held a basket, like those we used to bring wood to the tire place, carrying a sleeping Infant. A doorman took the basket and went back Into the building. She skipped off again into the taxi. And life went on. At 19 and in the grip of a grand literary passion I once touched oft a short story with this: "Rosrk Des mond, pausing for a moment to light a cigarette on the steps of the Cos mopolls club, was startled to see a rather beautiful young woman dash from a carriage with an Infant. Be fore he could toss away his match she placed .the bundle in hla arms." It got even worse ss it went along -and came back In a Jiffy. But the paragraph above la proof that it might have happened. That's something. Over on Third avenue, by the way. I came upon the last of the van ishing drug stores of another day. There waa a cigar counter with a clipper and ruckle wheel ot fortune alwaya your money's worth but a chance to triple purchasing power. On a shelf, too, I beheld Father Finch's Febrifuge. Mexican Mustang Liniment, Swift 8. S. and Conway's Cobalt Pills. But what turned back the years more than anything waa a huge Jar of rock candy on a string.
