Its Up to You, Now!
TIIE most important part of the N.R.A. drive is now on. The
manufacturers and merchants have done their part or are
doing it. They have formulated their codes, and the stores are
flying their blue eagles. Wages have been raised. More people
have been employed.
Now it is up to the party of the third part, to come forward
and do its bit. The party of the third part consists of the
consumers the buying public the rank and file of the people.
Obviously factories can't hire more men, and produce more
goods, if they are forced to pile up their products in storage.
Merchants csn't keep on buying those goods and employing
more salesmen, just to watch the goods accumulate on their
shelves.
The final goal of this entire movement is the consumer.
Unless the products reach him, the movement stops, the entire
N.R.A. structure falls.
Or to express it in another way, unless the increased buying
power thus created is IMMEDIATELY employed generally
ntilized this phase of the administration's New Plan, collapses
like a house of cards.
SO THE final "push" to put this N.R.A. campaign over, and
pull this country out of the worst depression in the world's
history, once and for all, is definitely and finally up to the
people. The people of the country alone can make this nation
wide drive a success they have their economic fate in their
own hands. To accomplish this they must no longer wait idly
by for "something to turn up" they must "BUY N0W1"
This doesn't mean an orgy of spending, of course. Nor does
it menn injudicious spending. It doesn't mean thnt those having
a hard time to make both ends meet, should throw discretion
to the winds, and spend more than they can afford.
But it DOES mean, putting an end to this buyer's strike. It
docs mean, that every one, who needs certain things, and IIAS
THE MONEY WITH WHICH TO PURCHASE THEM, should
buy them now. It DOES mean, an absolute end to the practice
of putting the family cash into the old sock, waiting supinely
for the rainy day, instead of putting that money to work
placing it in circulation.
WE CAN hoop up these N.R.A. codes until the cows come
home; we can plaster every store and residence with blue
eagles galore; but UNLESS the people themselves, do their part,
and support this campaign, with thoir own resources in a nation
wide buying drive, all that has been accomplished to date will
be so much wasted energy and effort.
SO THE final phase of the N.R.A. campaign rests, directly
under the slogan, "Buy, and Buy NOW I" The structure of
the N.R.A. is a triangle formed by the- manufacturer, the
retailer and the consumer. The manufacturer and retailer have
done their part. It is now up to the consumer to do his.
UNLESS he docs his part, the entire effort fails tho triangle
will 'never be completed.
So Buy Nowl Not as a gesture to hoop up business, but as a
patriotio duty to put this country back on its feet economically,
and save it from disaster.
Why Is It?
Following an audit which Is said to have cost the taxpayers of
Jackson county 12500, the office of county clerk, It la further aald,
waa found to be short 6 cent while -the sheriff's account waa
lacking In the ataggarlng amount of four-bits. And ao endeth an
other chapter In the turbulent affairs of our southern Oregon
neighbor.
It has alwaya been a source of wonder and curiosity to us why,
when the people of a county have willingly and cheerfully elected a
alaff of offlcera to conduct their affairs, so often react against
their own Judgment to cast suspicion and aspersion upon the
employees of their choice. It would seem that too often, merely
because they are publlo servants, employees of the county and atate
are subjected to criticism to which, more often than not, they are
not entitled. Most men are elected to office on their records aa
honest and conaclenclous citizens. Ninety-nine out of a hundred
carry thla principle Into their publlo services yet are continually
harassed with accusations of Inefficiency and sometimes actual
dishonesty. Why Is It? Dufer, (Ore.) Dispatch.
TI7IIILE our oontomporarys estimate of discrepancies is not
" strictly accurate, the query it poses is a pertinent one.
Why is itt Why are we bo disposed to believe ill of others,
particularly when they hold public office so ready to assume
the worst, so reluctant to believe the bestt
In short why do we behave like human beings t
Well, probably because we are I
As to the general distrust of publio officials, this as we
see it, is a heritage of the past. Government as a wholo, particu
larly local government in the larger oities, has been a record
of corruption and graft. There have been vast improvements
during the past few decades, but the tradition still lingers.
Government in southern Oregon has been, for nearly a gen
eration, exceptionally clean and honeRt. As such things go, our
local officials have been far above the national average.
But the inherited suspicion has remained. And this suspicion
has been worked upon by a small group of self-seeking and
unscrupulous politicians day in and day out for many years.
This has been done for one purpose alone to secure political
power and we regret to say the people at least many of them,
have fallen for it.
Given this ingrained suspicion, constant agitation stimulat
ing it and the peculiar situation our contemporary refers to,
follows as a natural result.
Eliminate the self-seeking politician the desire of the outs
to get in, and their determination to do so by fair means or
foul and there would soon be a return to normalcy, and an
attitude toward publio officials which would be reasonable and
sane.
Such an attitude would assume neither wrong doing nor
right doing, but would grant to the individual in publio life,
the same consideration granted to the individual in private life
a square deal. Such a square deal would involve a refusal to
believe wrong until evidence of wrong had been presented a
refusal to believe ono side of a ense until the other side had
been heard.

QUEER EFFECTS OF SHORTAGE IN BLOOD SUGAR,

times he seemed

duct on the part
of a man in al
most any field
soon puts him on Queer Street. In
this Instance a physician studied the
case and decided that the man bad
hysteria.
Oh, well, we doctora all make mis
takes. Sometimes we operate on
them. Sometlmee we Just bury them
quietly. The spells of "hysteria"
gradually grew worse. On several oc
casions the man lost consciousness
completely for an hour or two.
Then a physician with newfangled
ideas took it Into his head to give
the man a blood sugar test while he
was In one of the spells. This showed
that the poor fellow's blood sugar
wss way down to 20 m.g., whereas the
normal Is around 120 m.g. (If you
don't understand the Bymbols no
matter, you understand the numer
als). Doctora call such a low blood
sugar level "hypoglycemia," and I't
spells either grave starvation, com
pete exhaustion from prolonged or
unaccustomed muscular work, or Just
an excessive secretion of Insulin In the
pancreas. In thla case It was simple
to rule out starvation and overexer
tion. So then they operated. Might
aa well go In and see what you find,
as long as the patient la right there
in the clinic where you can have
scalpel Into him In two Jerka of

rather pleased at the prospect of hav

story for him to tell the folks back

with varlatlona to meet the circum

terior corroborated the diagnosis of
hypoglycemia or hypertnsuUnlsm. The
pancreas was found to be only one
half the size of a normal pancreas

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Rubber Soles.
Have received a great deal of good
from reading your column these many
years. My dentist admlta you are
rieht about brushing the teeth. One
thing you say I would note an ex
ception to. You aay crepe or com
position rubber soles are aa health
ful aa any others. I have found that
if I wear them when It la warm
enough to cause feet to perspire much
they cause my feet to acald and cracks
form between toes. Leatner eoies wm
not do this. E. W. M.
Answer Perhaps other readers with
experience will confirm or deny your
observation. When excessive sweat
ing of the feet la troublesome.
excellent remedy Is to pour a table
spoonful of diluted formaldehyde so
lution Into the shoe, so as to wet
the whole Insole and the lining, then
drain It out Into the next shoe, and
let the ehoes dry out 24 hours before
putting them on again. Such treat
ment about once a month will control
the trouble and prevent odor. For
this purpose mix the standard For
maldehyde solution with water, one
part to three or four.
Raw Egg.

in cases of stomach ulcer. If this Is
so kindly let me know how many
should be taken each day. J. Z.
Answer Egg white cooked Is always
more digestible than egg white raw.

A win and a loss were recorded by
Camp Kerby CCO baseball team over
the week-end. However, the loss was
of consequence while the win was
over a team Camp Kerby had defeated
twice before. They dropped a heart-
breaker to Applegate CCC for the
league championship, 8-7, on the
Jacksonville diamond Saturday, while
Sunday they traveled to Provolt and
were a 7-1 winner.
The game with the strong Applegate
squad was all that could be desired
In a ball game: good pitching, tight
fielding, and plenty of long poking.
The score was 2-2 at the end of the
third, 6-4 at the end of the fifth, but
the seventh Inning both teams went
on a spree and brought the total to
8-7 with Applegate on the long side.
Kerby'a pitcher, LaMear, allowed
8 hits, while Applegate's Concsnnon
wss nicked for ' 9. Errors showed 6
for Applegate and 2 for Kerby, but
the former's hits were longer and well
bunched.
The Sunday game with Provolt
proved the easiest of any of the three
gamea with them. Much of the sec
ond team waa used and this game
gave Captain Klncart a fine chance
to look over his reserve material. La

QUEEN HELEN'S DEFAULT
STIRS UP CONTROVERSY
FOREST HILLS, N. T Aug. 39
(UP) Miss Helen Jacobs, who Sat
urday siioeessfully defended her na
tional singles tennis title against her
townswoman, Mrs. Helen Wills Moody,
of Berkeley, Calif., today Insisted
that she harbored no resentment to
ward Mrs. Moody because of her de
fault In their match.
"Mrs. Moody's withdrawal was a
matter entirely for her own decision."
Miss Jacobs said. "If she felt that
her physical condition justified ber
withdrawal, then we should feel that
way too. She alone knew her own
condition."

NEW YORK, Aug. 39 ( UP) Helen
Wills Moody's default to Helen Jacobs
in the final of the national women's
tennis championship Saturday pro
vided the sports world today with Its
greatest controversy since Chicago's
famous "14 count" in the second
Tunney-Dempsey prizefight.
The controversy lost none of Its
heat because It dealt with the sup
posedly polite game of lawn tennis.
The incident was debated on subway
trains, on putting greens and between
sets of tennis wherever sports fans
gathered.
Mrs. Moody was seeking to tie Molla
Mai lory 'a all time record of eight
titles. To tie the Mallory mark she
had to beat her long time California
rival, Miss Jacobs, who won the
championship last year when Mrs.
Moody did not compete.
Miss Jacobs took the first set 8-6,

to the utmost. Mrs. Moody came back
to take the second set 8-3. From

Mrs. Moody walked over to the umpire

Miss Jacobs ran up and attempted

and water repeatedly during the
