Understand New York and Pennsylvania will atrlke. Anything I can do, let me know." Wallace Scored Criticizing Secretary of Agriculture Wallace's hog program as "a brazen attempt to bribe the farmer to sur render the little Independence he has left." Reno said: "We may expect some opposition from supposed farm leaders, who are satisfied with the crumbs that fall from their master's table, but I do not anticipate any opposition from the farmers and other srouns of so ciety who really desire the happiness and prosperity of all our peopls. "We have resched the point where statements and promises are mere gestures to lull the farmer to aleep that his complete enslavement msy he completed. "We were promised a new deal by which agriculture would receive the same consideration as other groups. Instead, we have the aame old stack ed deok and, so far as administering the agricultural act la concerned, the same old dealers." MONTANA VICTOR PORTLAND. Ore., Oct, 21.4yP) Twelve thousand Joyous children swarmed Into the big pavilion and added their shouts to the cacophon oua calls of varied and blooded breeds of the domestic animal world as. the Paclflb International Livestock expo sition opened here today. It was Juvenile day for the open tnf, and the morning and afternoon were for the youngsters. Tonight the adults had their chance, when the horse ahow was the feature at the pavilion. Soon, after the grand opening the exposition "got down to business" and a considerable amount of the Judg ing that must be done before the show is concluded October 38 had been completed before the gates closed for the night.

T F CHICAGO, Oct. 31. (AP) The hu man body still holds many mysteries that man, with all his scientific ad vancement has been unable to pene trate. Dr. David Klein, retiring chair man of the Chicago section of the American Chemical society, told bis colleagues. Because manmade eitracta proved unstable, he said the rejuvenation of humans through gland therapy was still a matter of the future. Suc cessful clinical experiments with ani mals he said had failed when applied to people. "To most people," Dr. Klein aald In his address last night, "gland ther apy connotes rejuvenation. In the present state of our knowledge this Is Impossible." He described the human body as a gigantic chemical factory controlled by the endocrlnes and told of how some experiments had failed. It Is astounding," he aald, "that one little gland the pituitary weighing not more than one-sixth of an ounce can be responsible for bo many human functions." This gland, he said, controls body contour, sex development, the action of the thyroid and the suprarenal cortex. A young rat Injected with growth of hormone will grow"enor- mouBly and put on weight. "Unfortunately, SAld Dr. Klein, 'clinical experience with humans has not followed the animal results.1' HAVANA, Cuba, Oct. 31. (AP) Cuba'a labor aituatlon became acute tonight In the face of new disorders In the Interior and threats of addi tional strikes In the capital. Railroad workers continued to push their demands for an adjustment of the minority rule and two trains were derailed within 34 hours. Meanwhile, the government sought to stamp out what Is considered a plot against It and a number of al leged oppositionists and communists were Imprisoned. Reliable reports In Havana said railroad striker admitted planting a bomb that destroyed 400 feet of rails and damaged a locomotive and two baggage cars near the town of Epalme, Mataneaa province, early to day. Another train was derailed by a switch at Vellanoe, Matanaaa pro vince. A small uprising was reported In tthe town of Zulueta, In Santa mars.. BISMARCK, N. D., Oot. SI.

Take care lest you betray your ignorance, my friend, by seeing an Impropriety where there Is none. There Is no other term In the Eng lish, language for what X Intend to express. It would be awkward and prudish to say anterior wall of the abdomen when this per fectly good Anglo-Saxon word precisely signifies bellows. Natural use of the bellows In breathing distinctly promotes good circulation. UnnatursJ chest bresthlng, on the other hand, does not aid the circulation. This Is fundamental physiology, not Just my notion. The diaphragm, the chief breath ing muscle, when Its functioning Is not Inhibited by faulty physical edu cation and bad habits based on fsulty training, serves as a booster pump for the circulation, aiding the return of blood through the veins to the right side of the heart, which then drives It on to the lungs for oxygen ation. The Belly Breathing exercise which I recommend Is one which some good physicians have prescribed for pat ients with high blood pressure from various causes, and other physicians have praised as help In the treat ment of asthma. In both conditions the benefits derived from Belly Breathing are no doubt due to the booster pump action of the dia phragm which prevents blood from stagnating In the veins. In recommending to all and sun dry the practice of Belly Breathing it Is my hope to undo some of the harm that has been done by poor physical education, but at the same time I would remind the reader that a fair amount of exercise dally, say six miles of oxygen on the hoof or Its equivalent In other kinds of work, play or exercise, Is the best tonic to the circulation. Every muscular move ment propels blood through the veins upon which the muscle or muscles I press when they contract. j The compression of the liver, atom-; ach and other organs when the diaphragm contracts (during Inspira tion or Inflation of the belly) drives blood out of the rich network of veins In the abdomen on toward the heart which then pumps It Into the lungs for oxygenation. Sedentary persons are certain to have more or less stagnation of blood In the veins, especially the veins In the abdomen, even If they notice no undue fulness or prominence of veins (Continued troro Page One) a promise to National Commander I jonnson at mat early aaw, ana uia nui iiinito up in. iiiiiiu w vu wi spur of the moment ss advertised. .What happened on the Inside was this: Johnson was talcing a little vaca tion In the Canadian wilds fully five weeks before the convention. Re heard that Mr. Roosevelt might NOT go and thereupon hit the trail for Washing ton. Hs found the president ill In bed, but managed to get an audience In the sick-room. The president told him flatly that he would go no matter what happen ed. It was agreed the decision should not be announced. Prom that time until the day the president left Hyde Psrk for Chlcsgo. ths White House continuously denied that the president would make tne trip. Some of his assoclstes . were srrald that he might encounter dif ficulties beeauuaof hla economy atand, but their advice was never eerlously considered. Communications CrltlclPfi Barnes Money To the Editor: After reading Mr. Barnes' series of articles In the Tribune we are moved to present our criticism. We trust tehat we will not be considered too arrogant. Progress has been made by the merging of different men's Ideas. That la what has given us the conveniences we enjoy In the mechanical world and that it what will give ua a better economic sys tem. Some are looking high tn thi clouds for the solution of our financial and economical problems while tt lies In simple form In the dust at our fret. Having made the acquaintance of tne supposedly mysterious stuff called money. It haa been as much satisfac tion to us as the true personality of Santa Clans. Kveryone knows. If they stop to think, that our money which we have agreed upon using Is simply credit slips, food for commodities, ths pro ducts we producs with our labor, the products our fellow cltlsens produce with their labor. Some hav de manded nd received more for the products of their labor Vian others. As time went on and cycle followed cycle, w have arrived at the point where about 90 per cent of our me dium of exchange, representing pri marily food, clothing and shelter but not In itself being any of these.

Resolved, If the federal govern ment at this time would employ six million men, putting them to work In non-commodity producing enter prises at a minimum wage of SO cents per hour- for common labor, paying them In non-Interest bearing treasury notes (commodity dollars), tHls would solve the unemployed problem and would raise the price level of commodities. a. Resolved, that If Vio price level of commodities should be raised by the above proposal 60 per cent above the present level of prices, that Is, for example, gold from 930 per ounce, the present price, to MS per ounce, the prices of commodities could be stabilised st this level through the Imposition and collection of Income taxes made possible by Increased business and increased prices of com modities. 3. Resolved, that If enough Income taxes from time to time are collected to meet the government "payroll." this would stabilize commodity prices giving us a commodity dollar of a fixed value, a dollar that would have the same purchasing power from gen eration to generation. I toke the affirmative side of the question. Which side do you take? J. 0. BARNES. f KUOENK. Oct. St . (p) I-alr W .

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS A RECALL campaign bas been launched a g a 1 n a t Oovernor Meier, we read, and petitions are being circulated In Willamette val ley cities. Here la this writer's advice, which you will take or leave, as you see fit: If these petitions get down Into Southern Oregon, and you are asked to sign them, REFUSE. GOVERNOR Meier, balled In his campaign as a miracle man, hasn't been one. But be HAS been an average good governor, doing his Job honestly and to the best of his ability. It Is doubt ful, under esistlng conditions, If any one else would hsve done a better Job. There la no excuse whatever for a recall campaign against biro. THE motives back of . the recall campaign against the governor have not been divulged. But, If they could be known', It Is this writer's opinion that they would be found to Include spite, de sire to get even for something or other or ambition for notoriety. These are the usual motives bsck of recsll csmpslgns. ATHODGHTFUL citizen of this psrt of Oregon hss a pretty good Idea In regard to recall campaigns. He says: "If anybody wants to sign a re call petition, let him PAT A DOLLAR for the privilege of signing Then, In the event that enough legal signa tures are obtained, use the money to pay tbe cost of the necesssry elec tion. "If enough legal signatures are NOT obtained, and the recall effort falls, put the money thst did come In Into the general fund for the re lief of taxpayera." NOT bad. at all. If you want to see somebody humiliated by having a recall peti tion aimed at blm, the satisfaction of helping along to the extent of signing the petitions ought to be worth a dollar to you. In the somewhat Improbable event that the recall Is Justified, the knowl edge that you are helping to remove an Incompetent official ought to be worth a dollar to you. In ANY event, under such a sys tem, the taxpayer wouldn't have to foot the bill for recall elections, which nine times out of ten are In struments for spite, vengeance or notoriety seeking. s-a IP YOU are a duck hunter, here is a statement to which you should give some serious thought: It Is made publicly by W. O. Henderson, asso ciate chief of the bureau of biologi cal survsy of the United States de partment of agriculture: "Authorities estimate that for ev ery two ducks killed and brought to bag, at least one bird la crippled and probably lost. This becomes ap palling when It Is realised that prob ably 1 million ducks are counted Into the bags of American gunners esch season. It means that at least 7,900,000 are crippled and lost." That's a lot of ducks to be wasted, Isn't It? MR. Hsnderson sdds: "The picture Is not a pleassnt one. However, most of this Inhu mane and wastful clipping can be prevented If gunners will refrain from shooting at birds at too long range and from using shotguns of a gauge too email to be effective." It might be a good Idea to keep that In mind the next time you are tempted to shoot at a duck too far away. HERE are a few headltnea chosen at random from the front pages of one days papers: "Hitler Sends Formal Notice of Withdrawal from League." "Border Nations Construct Defense Wall Around Germany." "Britain Asks For Big Navy." "Germany Urges Construction of Defense Cellars." Sounds like business, doesnt It? BAD BUSINESS I AS TO the last headline, a dis patch from Berlin ssys: "Oermsn taxpayers who during the year have built storm cellars to be used as refuges In the event of an enemy aerial attack or lnatalled sim ilar air defenses may deduct the ex pense for these projects from their income tax statements." That shows where Germany, at leaat. exoecte the next war to be fought. I 4 Rail Tragedy NELSON. B. C. Oct. 31. s En-I glnerr E. Blrce of Crenbrook. was killed and C. P.

The picture of Woodrow Wilson was thrown on the screen. Idly enough, young Laemmle threw out the question: "By the way. when did Mr. Wilson die." Instantly came an assistant's reply: "1924 the Valen tino year."

Pood is remindful that pretzel man ufacturers perplexed about the indif ference of the newer generation to their wares. People past 40 relish what Lew Field called a cracker with cramps but youngsters give them the go by. What is worse they claim they are too salty which every old-timer knows Is their chief zip.
