The "Back -to-the -Land" movement scheduled for this state, to boost farm colonization, will work a lot better, once they get there, If some sort of a halter fa put on the "Come-to-Town" movement. . . An eastern woman announced on her 133rd birthday, that she has smoked a pipe for 113 years.

Candidates have started using the round thing on their shoulders. In their pursuit of the elusive vote, and favor the repeal ot the theory that a I candidate Is known by the company he keeps, and the visits he makei.

The primary, besides nominating candi dates, will determine whether or not Jackson county Is still crazy. : The 1034 washing machines are now on display, and aro fuhther testimony to the Inventive Ingenuity of man. They will take a Sunday shirt, treat It with less consideration than one wrestler has for another, and produce a maelstrom of water, from which the ahlrt emerges white and Intact, and not a button missing. Through out this process .the shirt never touches the metallic parts. The In ventor got this Idea from watching a rural shindig, wherein the lady partner never contacts the floor, ex cept at the start and finish of tne dance, and Is none the worse for the spectacular and manly whirling to music. Centrifugal force holds the shirt within the washing machine, but the lady can only hope the hold of the partner does not slip, and she is catputted Into the rafters. The washing machine are quite nifty, and If anybody is atlll producing home brew, in these days of 33 different brands of legal beer, can give the mash a terrific stirring In no time. The new washing machines can be procured on what Is called the "Easy Payment" plan. The "Easy Payment" plan often causes the purchaser to jump around like ho was in the washing machine, to make them, PAIN Hit TKllH OBSERVATION (Toledo (O.) News.) The common man has been heavily buttered with sympathy and flattery this last year or so. but, Just to keep the record straight, some of him are a pretty ornery lot. Some of the com mon men are no more honest than the fat bankers deplctd In the car toons and failed in life not for any lack ot the larcenous Instinct, but merely because they hadn't the vision or the technique to steal money on a grand scale. This group also Includes a mass of Incompetents and shiftless character, souses, loafers, boss-haters and four flushers and It la too bad that It is impossible to grade people according to their ability to make good and withhold sympathy and aslatance from thoM who would be flops under the bo.it condition. Ciiptalu otlhrrt Here Captain Fred t. Ollbert of the ordnance department United Stntti army, was a visitor In Mfdford this week, a com pan If d by M'clianl: Undtjulst, Inspecting the twf National Quart units In Medford ana Uie oue unit la Ashland. What Price Hocus -Pocus? A FEW weeks ago we commented upon tho absurdity of the exchango of notes between the United States and. Japan, released at that time. These notes were full of glittering generalities and unctious platitudes, seasoned with Alphonse and Gaston gestures. Japan, in effect, declared it there was nothing in its foreign policy to disturb other nations, and as far as it was concerned the lion could immediately lie down with the lamb. Through Secretary of State Hull, the United States was CHARMED to receive such an assurance from its traditional friend in the Far East, and noted with particular gratification that all was quiet on the eastern front and promised to remain so.' Wo asked then why we couldn't have a "New deal" in international diplomacy and by mutual consent, abandon hypoc risy and buncomb, and talk SENSE face facts as they arc, instead of hiding our heads, like so many ostriches, in the sands of make believe, and insincerity. THE pertinance of that inquiry is particularly evident, at the present time, with Japan's latest move in the ridiculous opera bouffc, now released from Tokio less than a month after its delightful gesture of universal peace and amity. A very different tone proceeds from Japan's foreign office now. It seems a manifesto setting forth Japan's responsibility to maintain peace in East Asia, and objecting to the efforts of other nations, including the United States, to help Chinese air and military forces, is being STUDIED by Foreign Minister Hirota. What does this meant It MEANS that Japan is sending up a trial balloon to sec what this Japan taking over the control tho rest of the world to keep out. The usual empty phrases about love of peace and hatred of wur are thrown in, but the meaning is plain. Japan seeks a protectorato over the foreign relations as well as the domestic government of China. - No foreign nation can loan money to China, nor sell China airplanes or munitions of war, without Japan's consent. The Chinese government before .adopting any definite foreign policy must first secure an OK from Tokio. "DEACE on earth good will toward men!" There is almost as much dynamite in this manifesto, as in Japan's famous 21 demands, issued a couple of decades ago. And yet only a few short weeks ago, Foreign Minister Hirota and Secretary of State Hull, were bowing and scraping over a new deal in the Far East in which there wasn't a single cloud on the peaceful and sun-kissed horizon! WHAT is the net affect of such a travesty I The people of this country and tho people elsewhere, loso all confidence in diplomacy, and foreign office manifestos they loso confi dence in their own governments as far as foreign relations are concerned, they become suspicious, distrustful and cynical. Who can blame them, We repeat, a time has come for a New Deal in foreign rela tions. Let diplomats and foreign offices talk sense, deal with facts and realities, or else keep still. Does Advertising Pay ? DEOPLE don't just GO to California. They are brought there by advertising. How this advertising has paid "California Incorporated" in Northern California is shown by the following summary from tho San Francisco Chronicle. Read it over. We particularly commend it to those who think that spending money to advertise the attractions of South ern Oregon, is of questionable value. - We don't believe wo are yielding to local pride when we maintain that mile by mile, Southern Oregon has more to offer tho tourist, or tho prospective settler, than NORTHERN. Cali fornia. Yet throughout tho country at large, where thousands havo heard of and visited Northern California, how many hnvo heard of or visited Southern Oregon ! ' Tho outstanding valuo of this Oregon Jubilco will be its advertising of this part of the state every dollar invested in this direction will be one of the best investments Southern Ore gon could make. , When you have a good thing don't keep mum and sit on it. Tell the world about it. This is what Northern California has done: s In the eleven yeara of this advertising campaign .03.3U visitors from outside California hava coma to San Francisco and Central and Northern California. They left here an estimated 347,180.633. The advertising coat of tha cauae of thla effect waa 13.340. 183 or less than one per cent. It may be called a fairly good profit when a dollar Is brought back for every pennJ apent. The evidence of advertising cause and tourist effect ehowa on the other aide aa well. Callfornlans Inc. had less money to spend In 1033, a total of 10,000. There were fewer visitors, hence fewer outalde dollara brought In because there were fewer pennlea spent. This does not loos: wise penny saved and a dollar lost. 80 thla year Callfornlana Inc. la asking Ite support to give It H00.0O0 for advertising for 1934. Thla la still too little. It will be greatly to the profit of San Francisco and of all Central and Northern California If the fund aubacrlbed runs far above the aoo,ooo aaked. It la not every Investment that will return a dollar for a penny. And thla tourist money geta around to everybody. It aeeps Into every kind of business and Into all employment. The 147.000,000 that came In laet year waa undoubtedly one of the reaaona why thla part of California waa ao much better off than tha rest ot the country during the year Juat past. l Continued irom Page One) house who resitted they had no right to conceal their signatures..

THE CORMILSK g- SOFT ALLl'KE Some artist. I suppose, conceived a trick picture which at close view showed a lady busy at her dressing table, but from a little distance changed to a grin ning skull. For a time I had copy In my office, but the young ladles saw only the girl and her mirror and the elderly ladles were shocked by the ugly death's head; , To a doctor all Is vanity. The doctor sees the private or secret side or life. He doesn t pause long in the reception room but enters directly into tbe bedroom. And what a strange sad difference he sees between the pleasing array of doodads in the liv ing room and hall and the crude tawdry fitments in the sleeping apart ment. Prom what I have seen as a country and city practitioner and from some experience In correcting the evils re ferred to, I am convinced that most Insomnia, un re freshing sleep, dlsturo Ing dreams and nightmares, not to mention various purely physical ail ments, are due solely to unsuitable sleeping equipment, especially a bed spring or mattress that a self-respect ing body should be ashamed to be found half-dead on. And the covers that go with such niggardly sleeping arrangements are as comfortable as Inlaid linoleum. It Is by no means poverty that accounts lor the misery, for most of the homes that cling to such antiquated furnishings sport au tomobiles of luxurious class and squander money freely to put up a fine front. Bed springs rigidly anchored to the rails at the sides or ends and sagging like a hammock In tbe middle may be Just what an old sailor wants. Folk accustomed to sleeping ashore should select rather a flexible bed spring that gives as much at the margins as In the center yet has a firm level base support at all points. Support and not suspension of the body Is the thing desired. Both spring and mat tress should give enough to conform to the uneven pressure or weight of different parts of tho body yet af ford sufficient support to give the effect of buoyancy. A mattress that consists of a landscape of hills and valleys well, Just contemplating such a horror Is enough to make one hate the thought of going to bed. Now that Is all wrong psychology. The sleeping equipment and environ ment Bhould be as attractive as pos sible, so that the thought of hitting tho hay shall always be pleasant. Wise parents give much thought and spare no reasonable expense to make the children's rooms attractive, NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.O.McIntyre NEW YORK, April 19.

Too often the children must retire reluctantly to a sleeping room that Is dreary and uninviting, fitted rather for some granny or a monk. Except where It is too warm, a feather tick makes a famously com fortable bed. Next to that, a down cover Is well worth Its cost as an In vestment In comfort. The lighter the bed covers the bettor. Heavy covers tire and cramp the body and cause unpleasant dreams or nightmares. One soft, loosely woven lightweight blanket or cover, no matter what ma terial; Is warmer than two heavier blankets of more compact material. It la the air layer retained In or by the cover that keeps you warm. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Cornaro Wrote In Columbus' Time.

Answer "The Art of Living Long" waa written by Cornaro more than 400 years ago. Some chap had an edition of It published not many years ago. Libraries and book collectors are likely to have the book. The Little Tin Doctor. A nurse addressed a group of girls She said the first child of a couplo who have indulged in kissing before marriage will very likely be born blind hare-lipped or open-backed . . . V, F. A. Answer Which would be comical If ft were not so deplorable. It is cruel to imply that such defects of devel opment as ha re -Up or spina bifida, which may occur In any family, have any such significance. The nurse Is incompetent to instruct girls. Chalk Is Chalk. Following one of your suggestions I asked my druggist for some pre pared chalk. He gave me precipitated chalk and said It Is the same thin?. Please assure me about this. Mrs. F. M. Answer Prepared chalk Is the only form of chalk used in medicine. The chemical name for it is calcium car bonate. Calcium carbonate may be had In tablets, in powder, or In the familiar liquid suspension called chalk mixture. Ten grains, in tablet form. Is a moderate dose, as an antacid for stomach acidity, etc., and the rem edy Is preferable to soda and other alkalis for this purpose. A teaspoon- ful or more of the chalk mixture is a small dose.

The progress of the movie from nlckleodean to such cathedrals of artifice as Music Hall and the Capi tol Is best expressed I think by the elegance of the movie critics at an auspicious first showing.
