Ilttl. bird that told you that mint har. been on. of thoa.'low down Xnallah anar Medford Is Fortunate WE seldom appreciate our blesings. So accustomed are we in Medford, for example, to an honest, conscientious and capable city government, that one never hears any public ex pression of appreciation of the fact or ALMOST never. Yesterday, for example, M. L. Alford, veteran city recorder, announced that the city administration, during the past year, saved over $11,000 from its 1933 budget. It'i an almost unheard of thing these days, to hear of any public body, spending less money than the budget provides. The tendency is all the other way. But during the past year the city administration actually spent $7422 less than it was allowed to spend, and increased its revenues y nearly $4000 in other directions. A great achievement! The fact that this saving is not actually represented in a cash balance is no fault of the city fathers. They are not to blame for a tax delinquency that ren ders both profit and loss, merely a matter of bookkeeping. WE congratulate Mayor Wilson and the city councilmen. They are admirably sustaining a precedent established many years ago in this eity which we believe is unique in the history of municipal government in this state. Nearly 50 years ago Lord Bryce declared that municipal government in the United States, was the moBt dishonest, ineffi cient and corrupt in the civilized world. There has been vast improvement since then. But in many cities, particularly the larger ones, local government is still a disgrace subject to underworld control and political corruption and jobbery, of every description. In Medford the quality of local government hag varied of course; some administrations have been better than others. But in ALL that time, there has never been a public scandal ; not one case of corruption or graft; not even an irregularity, that was not subsequently corrected, or through which the tax payers ever lost a dime. AND during practically all this time, our mayors and council men have served "WITHOUT PAY! They have given their time and their energy, their best abilities, night after night, and day after day, as a "labor of love" or to express it more accurately perhaps, as the dis charge of a public duty, they believed they owed to their community, without asking even an expense account, much less day wages, in return. It is, we honestly believe, one of the best examples of civic loyalty and devotion, to be seen throughout the state in fact, throughout the entire country. And we are proud of the record, and proud of the men who have made it possible! And Not So Fortunate! XTTE don't like to grumble, but WHY is it, that whenever Oregon is nationally recognized this part of the state, invariably gets the worst of itt There is a long list to sustain this contention, commented upon in this column through a period of years. Once upon a time Crater Lake was moved to California; another time Medford was left off the map entirely; Bnd a third time, the Rogue River valley was "terra incognito" between Ashland and the Umpqua divide. It was ever thus. Now we have advance proofs of an article in the February issue of that excellent magazine the National Geographic, intro duced as follows: "Oregon deacrlbed by a native son: th. aoenlc beauties, busy Industrie!, and th. rich historical background of Oregon th. "Beaver .tat." a rapidly moving description by Amos feurg, noted explorer and photograph.r, who wa bom along th. banka ot th. Columbia, .to., etc." It is a very beautiful article, with over 60 photographs, 24 in color, and a two page map. But unless this advance copy is incomplete7 there is NO SUCH PLACE as Medford, and the Rogue River valley. DOUTLAND is there of course, as it should be, "where a cool breeze wafts the scent of flowers through the streets." So is the valley of the Willamette, "the Nile of Ore-gon"; COiam poeg, Salem, Astoria; Eastern Oregon, with its rich soil, "the debris of old lava plains"; and PENDLETON Pendleton is an "ADVENTURE" with its round-up enacting a drama in which the old sports and "the passing life of the frontier West relive in pauseless thrill." Very pretty 1 The Blue mountains are there too and Sumptcr, while in conclusion, Mr. Burg takes his readers to Crater Lake, via Bend and Fort Klamath but wouldn't you know itf he never reaches Medford, or Ashland or Grants Pass, doesn't see a trout in Rogue river, or a rhododendrun along the Redwood highway, the Oregon Caves, or a pear orchard in bloom; No, the survey ends there "the 24th of a series of American state and city stories" and so that is OREGON, for the rest of the world to see. IS this protest merely a super sensitive complex, or local pride gone to seed f Mebbe so. Self diagnosis is a difficult process. But we think it is merely the fact for which he is not to blame that the author Mr. Burg was born on the BANKS OF THE COLUMBIA. There is something about those born on the "banks of the Columbia" and who live there, which makes them terribly short sighted whenever the extreme southern extremity of this state is concerned. They can see Crater Lake and now and then Mt. Pitt if the weather is clear but anything else is invariably INVISIBLE! Nothing new about this. Over 30 years ago, a movement was started to gain recognition for this geographical orphan by joining the state of California. If the Rogue River valley really WISHES to register, it still appears to be the only wav! He's lawyer Now SEATTLE, Jan. 93.

Scarcely a week passes without a letter from some amateur mother who has discovered a soft spot In the baby's head, and Is all worked up over It. Or if the baby's head doea not seem too soft In spots It is not quite symmetri es!, she finds. In case any one should con template having a baby It may be well to have It clearly under stood by all con cerned that they are seldom entirely flawless nowadays. When we were babies It was different. But some how they don't seem to make 'em so good any more. We can't blame It on quantity production either. With razors, now, the more they make the worse they are; razors or razor blades are made to sell, not to serve. But with babies, the scarcer they grow the more flaws folks seem to find In them. For instance, virtually all babies come with a couple of soft spots in the head. The front one, right on top of the head, la an inch or more In diameter, and even If the baby gets good fresh; milk, cod liver oil, fresh fruit Juice, banana, puree of peas, beans or spinach, raw apple sauce and everything, the soft spot does not harden with bone until the sixteenth or seventeenth month ol age. The other soft spot Is at the back of the bead, but UiK one la less alarm ing, being smaller and In a less no ticeable place. Besides It generally fills with bone by the end of the second month. The usual cause of delayed closure of the soft spot (called fontanel) Is rickets. The best preventive against rickets Is nursing your own baby. If Incapable of doing that, then at least see to It that the baby gets pure fresh raw milk a grade that your own physician or your local health officer approves. If ycu can afford It, certified, milk Is the best for any baby. If you are so situated that you can keep a goat, there la nothing better than goat's milk for a baby or for any one else, provided the goat gets a reasonable amount of fresh fodder. If you are compelled to feed the baby pasteurized milk, at least you can see that the baby has a dally ration of fresh fruit Juice to NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.aMcIntyre NEW YORK. Jan. 33. Broadway's two most notoriously 'unsolvable crimes" appear definitely pigeon holed. Now and then the faint hue and cry, but be cause two sinister figures were re moved from the world of treach erous Intrigue the public seems lit tle Interested In tracking down the murderers. There are wise men who declare the killers of Ar nold Rothsteln. t,3 'ne gambler, and S ' "3 net Klnff th tj&U&jm blackmailing lady, are protected to sate higher-ups from disgrace. But such rumors are nebulous, careless whispers of the cafes, night clubs and underworld. Innumerable times It will be heard: 'Everybody knows who killed themt" Followed by eyebrow lifts and intima tions of ex-offlcials living in splen dor here and abroad. Yet none names the guilty right out. Dot Kin was found garroted In the "love nest" 10 years ago. Rothsteln rushed from a hotel, fa tally pistoled. In 1928. He refused to name his slayer. The facta are, of course, that both murders Involved many In high places. It's all fright fully fishy, but that police drew her rings across the trails has never been successfully proved. Sigmund Spaeth likely knows more musicians and their quirks than any person of the day. His father was a Lutheran minister with 11 children, for all of whom he provided unusual education. Slg's waa musical and he has transmuted Its classic Into sim plicities for devotees of barber shop harmonies. As a tune detective he has with rare good humor exposed many Tin Pan alley heroes aa fllchera from the masters. Mrs. Oene Tunney, after a prolong ed convalescence, is now seen In the gorgeous chinchilla which she affects at such social doings M the horse show, opera and first nights. Her presence la remindful, too. that many women are returning to the social activities and fineries they have been dodging for three years.

Every Infant raised on the bottle should have a small dose of cod liver oil or halibut liver oil dally from the end of the first month to the end of the first year. Only a few drops at first, but up to a teaspoon ful a day after the first few weeks. The cod liver oil or other fish oil Is not necessary after the baby Is a year old, unless there Is something the matter and the doctor specifically prescribes It. By that time the baby is taking sufficient other food, par ticularly eggs and butter, to provide all the Vitamin D that Is needed. Vitamin D prevents rickets and pro motes good growth and Is present In cod liver oil, also In egg yolk and butter and rich milk or cream. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. THE dispatches tell us: , "Admiral Richard E. Byrd ana his exploring expedition reached their base In the Antarctle today.' From this base, they will proceed with a new series of south polar Investiga tions. A cynic remarked to this writer the other day, referring to Admiral Byrd: "If I could get somebody else to pay the bills, leaving me to enjoy the adventure and the publicity, I'd ex plore the Antarctlo too." TOO narrow minded as most cynics are. Plenty of people felt the same way about It In Columbus' day, but If Isabella hadn't put up the money to provide Columbus with an adventu rous cruise, the Indiana might atlll be roaming over this country, YOU never can tell about these cynics, anyway. This one, as like as not, belongs to some organization or other whose real, low-down purpose la to provide salary and traveling expenses for a few smart national officials. The more cynical a man pretends to be, the more likely he is to fall for some such project. A LOT of people, incidentally, pre tend to be cynical and hard boiled when in reality they arent at all. They merely adopt the pose as a sort of protective covering. v Many shrewd salesmen PREFER customers who pretend to be cyni cal and hard-boiled, finding such persons actually much easier to al with. DEMOCRATIC leadera In the house of representatives, we read, plan to rush the new Roosevelt monetary measure through without delay, send ing it on to the senate by next week. These plans, we may take It for granted, will be carried out without a hitch. The new money measure will be passed by both houses, signed by the president and put Into effect with very little delay Indeed. And when It goes into effect, we won't be able to notice any radical differences. A Will Roger says, the president promises us 60-cent dollars, which are about what we have now. THE point la that President Roose velt peps us alt up by telling us about It in a new and thrilling way. The thing we really NEED, you know, in order to bring business back to normal, t to get all pepped up with enthusiasm, so that we will put our shoulders to the wheel and make things go. That's a lot more Important than cheap dollars, and the president Is shrewd enough to know It. V ANOTHER dispatch says: "Preparing for possible stoppage of the civil works program on Febru ary 10 because of funds running out. the federal works administration to day halted purchase of materials and supplies for use on projects through out the country." If you're dumb, youll believe that. But if you're SMART, youll put it down for Just a lot of words to fin space. npHE civil works program CANT be stopped. It is really working, putting money Into circulation, and making business better which Is more than can be said for all the various other devices tried out during the past couple of years. The others have merely piled more money up In the vaults, where It has done nobody any particular good. CWA has put money to work. IF CONGRESS even suggests shut ting It off now, Its members will be burled under a flood of protests from their constituent who are be ginning to get their fingers on CWA money and are feeling real business stimulation aa a result.

(Associated Press Photo) SCHOOLS OF CITY FACE CLOSING AT (Contlnuea lrom Page One) members explained today, and for that reason must be assured that all warrants are good before they are is sued. A school district aa large as Medford cannot take the chances In this respect that the small rural schools can, It was explained. The limiting of contracts to a two months period doea not signify, of course, that they cannot be renewed if the taxes come In. Under the con tracts, school will be In session until about April 1, Mr. Hedrick stated yesterday. If sufficient tax money ha then come In to warrant con tinuance of school, contracts for the remalnedr of the year will be avaJ able. Delinquency Hurts. The Medford district has been suf fering a tax delinquency of about 45 per cent. In school administration It l impossible to make the elimina tions possible In other form of gov ernment. For Instance, one school or one project cannot be discontinued while others are carried on. Other governments frequently find It pos sible to adopt this mean of economy, picking up the abandoned project later on. Medford could not, how ever, under the law, close Jackson school, or any other, and divert the money thereby saved to the support of the other schools, neither could the teaching of arithmetic or any other required subject be abandoned as long as school doors are open. In the cities of Ashland and Eu gene, where half-year school con tracts were also signed last fall, school will continue Into the second semes ter, it was recently announced, un der certain conditions. If the financial condition now ex iating continues, however, it was pointed out yesterday, but two courses remain open to the Medford and other schools of the state. One la to close part or all school doors, the sec ond operation on a tuition basis. Some States Closed. A number of states in the union have found it necessary to close the public schools. Latest report from Kansas show that 700 schools in that one state have closed their doors. While a very few schools in Oregon haw actually been closed, quite a number of term have been short ened. The problem is not confined to Medford, but 1 one state-wide in scope. With tax delinquencies In creasing, all district are confronted with danger of forced closing or col lection of tuition.
