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.

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.

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.

In giving his version of tha acci
dent, Strlhllng said he was on tha
right side of the road when "all of a
si dden a car loomed before ma. I cut
as far to the right as possible, and
then it happened. Tha car hit me,"
A Miss Frances Jones, a nurse who
was riding with Barrow, fashioned a
tourniquet from her cape to stop tha
flow of blood from Stribling'a leg and
made bandages from her dress to bind
the wounds.
Strlbllng did not lose consciousness
at the scene. Barrow said as ha ran to
his aid, tha fighter grinned "Well,
kid, I guess It means there will be no
more road work."
Early today he called for 'some
thing cold ice cream or beer." The
doctors ordered the beer.
Strlbllng is known here a a hail-fellow-well-met,
a member of tha Kl
wan Lb club and organizer of an inde
pendent basketball team. The box
ing world knew him as a "clean"
young fighter who took them on from
the bottom to the top but who fail
ed to muster the power that would
carry htm to the championship.
Motorcycles and airplanes, outside
the ring occupied him. He got a thrill
out of dashing through traffic on hie
motorcycle and when he tired of this
he carried his plane aloft to exhibit
his prowess as a pilot. He holds a
transport pilot's license snd a com
mission In the air corps reserve.
