YEAR OP JUBILEE The city will celebrate next year Its Diamond Jubilee, upon attain ment of the ripe old age of 78 years. Bometlmes It looks like the burg was not that ripe, what wllh sovorni dis plays of clvlo greenness, In the past. Permitting a paranoiac to use the courthouse steps as a Jumplng-off place for a 1-man revolution Is an outstanding example. The Diamond Jubilee ought to be an event, and result In the discovery of diamond field, back of Jacksonville. The min eral possibilities of the region have produced everything else In the way of wealth hidden In the Inner re cessea of the earth. There waa a time when distinguished eltlsens appeared on state occasions with diamond ehlrt-atuds gleaming with the electric light, and making a vulgar display while listening to a Swedish soprano hit high 0. There has not been so much of such vulgarity since the De pression knocked the social Instincts cold, of late, optimism has recov ered sufficiently to wear agates, and by next June all will be back again to the glory of dlamonda the sire of hickory nuts. It is hoped, by the rank and file, that the Diamond Jubilee committee will not make It mandatory for all good cltlaena to raise whiskers, to prove that they are Jubilant or pos sess diamonds. It Is also felt that the Jubilee can stagger along without the Importation of a carnival, with a 83-horee. merry-go-round. The majordomo of the Jubilee Is Edison Jerome, who has a diamond. His supply of enthusiasm la Inex haustible, like the gasoline supply which he dispenses. He will make a go of it. He will be entirely sur rounded by committees. If any com mitteeman does not play his position correctly, he will not be allowed to attend the Jubilee. Edison states that the first task will be to aeparate the wheat from the chaff. That would be alright. If any agricultural fair waa in the making. He means that he Is going to gather up the pearls that have been cast before awlne. Mr. Jerome la an outstanding clvlo worker. For It he has received no reward not even being called Colonel by an ungrateful munclpal Uy. Under his capable management the Jubilee will be a howling success the howls being due to Joy and goodfellowshlp. and will have no political significance. ...

A Pear by-Product Plant ""PIIE 0. S. C. report on pear by-product research, which we promised our readers, will not be available until about the first of the year. This research hai been going on for several years however, and sufficient facts have been established, to show, that in the matter of by-products, pears offer a promising and lucrative field. While awaiting the official report, it can be stated, that a pear syrup has been developed of unusual flavor and high dietctio value. It can be easily assimilated by children and invalids, served as a substitute for sugar syrups, and be free from the dietetic dangers of the latter. "piIE sugar content of pears at certain stages, is very high in levulose, sometimes reaching 98 percent. Levulose as con trasted with cellulose, from cane sugar, is easily assimilated, and some even claim can be used safely by diabetics, although this fact has not been accepted generally by the medical pro fession. There is no doubt, however, that it is more readily assimilated by those who have digestive difficulty with ordinary sugar, and because of this quality and its scarcity now com mands the extraordinary price of $25.00 a pound. Of course, if it were readily manufactured on a larger scale, this price would automatically decline. But that the product even then would command a GOOD price and a ready sale, is certain. pXPERIlfENTS have also shown pears are high in copper salts. Best medical authorities now agree, that copper, not iron, is the element so valuable in enriching the blood and pre venting pernicious anaemia. There is every reason to believe therefore that pears will be accepted as a preferred fruit in the diet of anaemic people. UNTIL the 18th amendment has been repealed, experiments in thn field nf intnYipflnra nun nnf ha frnoltr nnpri.d nn But with this repeal generally conceded, it is interesting to learn that pears are adapted to the making of an excellent pear brandy, are already used abroad for the manufacture of stan dard champagnes, and there is no doubt cull pears could be utilized on a large scale in the manufacture of commercial alcohol. With alcohol taking a more and more prominent place in industrial economy, the future prospects in this direction are highly promising. TTHIS pear syrup moreover, when combined with canned pears, forms a dessert delioacy that is declared to be unsurpassed, and would allow the utilization of the winter varieties, particu larly Bosc and Nclis, in canning, which would probably do more than any other one thing to solve the present marketing prob lem of these two varieties. Finally a pear extract has been evolved, which has already been used in the manufacture of ice cream, and provides a now dish of the most distinctive and delioious flavor. Experiments to date in the matter of dried and evaporated pears, do not indicate there would be much of a field in this direction in southern Oregon. The demand is limited, and Cali fornia would enjoy a great advantage over this section, in econ omy of production, the sun doing the job there that would have to be largely done by artificial heat up here. TPHIS is a very sketchy outline of the by-product situation, and there is no protense it adequately reveals the practical possibilities ; but it does show, in the opinion of this paper, the desirability of investigating the matter at once, and preparing to secure financial support for a pear by-product plant in this valley. It is believed such a plant could be constructed for approxi mately 1)150,000, which with slight extra outlay, could oover the entire field, inoluding the manufacture of brandies and cham pagne. Were such a plant in operation here now there is no doubt it would pay its entire cost, this one year; and be a life saver as well for hundreds of orohardists. We can imagine no project more worthy of the serious study of the. Chamber of Commerce, community. The Milk THE best remedy for the immediate crisis of so-called milk AVArnrnHllrttinn Atmhl k- In,. v. J 1 iL.

The little that is now distribut ed in that way might be increased many fold. Mr. Wallace and his experts agreements between associations of dairymen and the companies that distribute fresh milk and other dairy products. These agreements and licenses have some apparent uses, but they do not touch fundamentals. The secretary is doins oreat tinners with commendable courage. some real plan, within the coming six months, that will encour age the dairy farmers. For they alone, of ill the provement and conservation, and they are the most deserving of support. Wheat, corn and cotton exhaust our soils, and are the staples of speculation. Thoir overproduction is against sound national policy. But this is not in the least the central feature of a system of agriculture. The states them selves should come to the relief of the dairy farmers, perhaps on somo scheme of bonus-payments, including also the distribu tion of milk to school children while on its own merits.

Tha thread worm (also called aeat worm, pin worm) la one-fourth or one-third of an Inch long, and r semblea a bit of white thread. The worms live In the urge oowei ana sometlmea In the appendix. Their eggs are micro scopic In size and due to uncleanly personal hablU of children the eggs commonly contain water and food or find their way on unclean fingers directly to the c h 1 id. ' mouth. This Intestinal parasite sometimes causes chronic Inflammation of the colon In children or In adults, wltn prod net Ion of much mucus one of the various conditions which wiseacre Victims call 'mucus colitis.' The pru dery of the public forbids more can did description of the effects of In festation. Probably the eggs of pin worm, as well as the eggs of round worms, are tarried by flies and deposited In drinking water. The eggs are discharg ed In enormous numbers. Pruritus (Itching) is due to oxyurls Infestation in more cases than are definitely so diagnosed. Any one who (suffers with pruritus In any degree deserves to suffer If he or she falls to undergo a proper examination for accurate diagnosis. In children the presence of these worms may cause frequent micturi tion, balanitis, vaginitis or other in flammation or Irritations, and such Irrigation may lead to bad habits. An Injection (enema) of soapy wa ter, followed, after It has passed, with an Injection of a pint of water in which one-half ounce of quassia chips has been boiled, Is a good way to treat the trouble.. More detailed sug gestions are given In the booklet "Our Unbidden Guests" which readers may obtain by sending a dime and a stamped envelope bearing the correct addreu. Rigid adherence to the rules of per sonal cleanliness Is the best Insurance against Infestation with round worms or pin worms. One of the chief rules snd habits to Inculcate In childhood la that of washing the hands before eating, not merely before tha formal meals but before eating anything at any time or place. This may seem f'nlcal or fussy, In some circumstan ces, and It is Indeed a needless rite on many occasions, but so Is shaking hands, and sometimes shaking hands may spread disease, but who ever heard of any injury to health from unnecessary washing of the hands?

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Making Coffee. Will you please give your recipe for making coffee? (M. W.) Answer Grind your own for each fresh brew. Coffee In pot with a little oold water and let stand a while, over night perhaps. When ready add more water and a bit of egg white, atlr up. and put on fire. Watch pot and take off fire when it la ready to boll. The Important thing la that coffee must never boll. Boiling drives off the aroma and brings out the bitter fla vor of Tannin. If you can smell the coffee when It Is brewing, depend on it the brew Is ruined; that Is, If you are going to drink it. Basal Metabolism. Please explain what basal metabol ism la. What muit a person do to cure himself? (M W.) Answer Basal metabolism Is the rate at which the chemical processes oi life go on when one Is at rest and free from Influences which tend to Apeed up metabolism. I think most of the basal metabolism tests or measures made by machine practition ers are a poor substitute for good medical judgment. Plea.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS SENATOR Thomas, of Oklahoma, wires to members of congress for an expression of their views on IM MEDIATE um of "rational Infla tion." As to tha results of his survey, he says: "I have had time to far to tab ulate only tha first few days' repllei. More than NINETY-SIX par cent from house members and over 7B per cent of replies from members of the senate are In favor of tha Pres ident's resorting AT ONCE to rat ional inflation." -4- IP YOU follow closely the news of the day, and are a shrewd guesser, you will come to thla conclusion: Direct Inflation, In aoma form or other, la not far distant. WHAT Is "rational inflation?" Well, presumably, it is' Inflation that goes Just far enough without going too far. Those who crave Just a LITTLE shot In the arm when they are low in their mlnda, but not too much, wlU know what that means. THE government, seeking to raise pork prices without resorting to Inflation, which will raise ALL prices, buys and slaughtera four million pigs and a million brood sows. The idea is to reduce the supply of pork, thus creating a situation In which there will be more buyers than sellers. The scheme hasn't worked much YET, but maybe It will later. DAIRY prices are depressed, be cause supply Is greater than de mand. If the government wants to do something to raise dairy prices, here Is a suggestion: Let It Issue an order requiring all cows whose butterfat production is under 300 pounds per year to be slaughtered at once. THE 300-pound cow makes no money for her owner, because the cost of her keep la greater than the value of her output. But her product goes onto the market, Increasing the supply and depressing the prlca. That la to say. she helps nobody, and HURTS EV ERYBODY. If that Is true and all good dairy men know that it is It would be bet ter to get rid of her. SLAUGHTERING aU eows whose butterfat production la under 300 pounds per year would help the dairyman by reducing the supply of dairy products going onto the mar ket. It would HURT the beef cattle man by INCREASING the aupply of beef going onto the market. It's the old, old story of what's one man's meat ta another man's poison. SLAUGHTERING aTT COWS whose butterfat production is under 300 pounds per year would hurt the beef man by Increasing temporarily the aupply of meat going onto tha mar ket. It might help him tn tha long run by reducing the number of calves. The trouble with tha beef Industry right now is that there are too many cattle In tha country about nine million head too many, well Inform ed cattlemen tell us. So It might help In the long run to get rid of some of tha cows. SURPLUS. Surplus. Surplus. Too much of everything. More on hand than people will consume at a fair pries. More sellers than buyers In tha markets. Especially In the food lines. Why? Well, the war Is one reason. Dur ing the war, we wanted food and still more food with which to feed the soldiers, who produced nothing, de stroying Instead of creating. In tha effort to provide food for these non-productive millions, we boosted prises and stimulated pro duction far above normal. NOW we are paying ths price, and will continue to pay It, until consumption and production get back onto something mora nearly ap proaching a balance. The next time anybody gets to talking war, let's think of all that. Then let's go mighty alow about STARTING a war.

AS TITLE BELTPRESENTED Man Mountain's Gratifica tion Finds Vent In Repe tition Of Slang "Indeedly Grateful" He Tells Donors By H. ALLEN SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP) Primo Camera waa recognized officially as heavy weight boxing champion of the wlrld when at a dinner tendered the giant Italian In Madison Square Garden recently he was presented with a belt five feet long and six inch wide. 'Oh Boy!" said Camera, who wore a blue pin striped ault and white ahoes for the occasion. "Oh boy, oh boy, oh boyl" The belt was presented In liturgical splendor by Colonel John Pltzpatrlc, president of Madison Square Garden, in the presence of the city's leading boxing writers. The last named group wore white paper hats, white paper aprons, 3.3 froth on their chins and radiant am Ilea. Beyond saying that he was "Indeed ly grateful" and 'overwhelmingly un derstood" earners was not heard to utter anything beyond frequent gurg Unga of "oh boyl" Jack Johnson, back from Paris, es corted Camera to the table where the belt lay In all its garish magnificence. It contains four shields, diamonds, garnets, rubles, emeralds, golden chains, miniature golden box-xignt-ers, and the engraved names of all the champions since John L. Sullivan. In between the shields on the belt are fasces those bundles of rods which the Roman victors used to car ry as symbols of power. These Intrig ued the fancy of Pete the Goat, who attended the dinner as guest of one of the boxing writers. "What's them??" Pete demanded, pointing to the fasces. "Them are fascists," explained Jim my Johnston, manager of the garden, 'like the Llctora used to carry. I look ed it up." Jack Johnson pushed through the crowd again with Prlmo. 'Oh boy!" said Prlmo. "Oh boy!" Then the smile on his face faded into an expression of horrific woe. "Look byl Look by!" he shouted He tipped over two boxing writers and pushed lo others to one side. "Look by!" he boomed out again. pointing at a very minor portion ot the belt. There it waa. One of the email golden chains which keep the thing from falling from the waist line and breaking the legs, had been broken. Camera laid a ponderous fin g:r on the break and cast an omin ous glare at all those within 10 feet of his trophy. "Who done?" demanded the world's heavyweight champ. Pete the Goat made tracks for ths dining room, where beefsteak was be ing prepared. Jack Johnson edged over and began talking to Tommy Burns, from whom he won the heavy weight championship. Boxing writers msde their way to various comers, earnestly discussing whether Prlmo Camera or Jack MoAullffe has the biggest feet. Camera never found out what had happened to his belt. He has to de fend it successfully three successive times before ha can send it back to "Momma" in Italy. Asked If he believes It will become a permanent possession of the Car rara family, he grinned a foot, raised his Immense fists to within a few Inches of the celling and declared in the tone usually reserved for the lowing kine: 'Oh boyl" HOUSED IN HOTEL (Contiuued Hum Page Ona.) comrades could pick them up.
