The Honorable George is one of the state's most distinguish ed citizens as well as one of its most magnetio and eloquent speakers. He has always had a soft spot in his heart for Med ford and Southern Oregon, and we happen to know he is antici pating his visit here with great pleasure. But what will he think if he comes down here and talks to empty seats! What sort of a report will he take back to Portland, and what sort of advance publicity will that be for the Diamond Jubilee 1 ' ' A fantastic idea, sez you! Perhaps you are right. We hope so. - ,. DUT facts don't lie. We have it.on.no less an authority than Secretary Banwell that to date, only a baker's dozen have made reservations for this annual affair. Naturally the Honor able Secretary is exercised, and unless reservations start pour ing in early tomorrow morning, his blood pressure will reach the breaking point. So if you haven't made your reservations for this Wednesday night dinner, get busy tomorrow and do so. Tou not only owe it to Medford's distinguished guest, and to the Chamber of Commerce, but to YOURSELF. For this annual dinner is a community affair this year. It is open not only to the members of the Chamber of Commerce BUT TO ALL RESIDENTS OF MEDFORD AND JACKSON COUNTY. . Everyone who has the price and can be there should be. A fair crowd at the Elks banquet room Wednesday night is not enough, the place should be packed. Why War Why Crime? 'HE American people want peace. We don't believe there is a more universal sentiment in this country, than aversion to war. The American people want a don't believe there is a stronger aversion to lawlessness and crime. Yet those who know, what's and the world at the present, That anotner worid war u nearer today than at any time . since 3914. ' That, at the present writing, crime is more rampant and uncontrolled than ever before in WHJT is this true? Why with public sentiment what it is, should there be so little progress toward a warless world, and so little toward a reign of law and order. ALL the answers would no doubt fill a book. But here is one, which to our mind strikes at the heart of the problem. While we talk a great deal about our love of peace, we do very little, as INDIVIDUALS to promote it. , While we talk a great deal about our abhorrence of lawless ness and crime, we also do very little, as individuals to C'OM- Ml It, what ,. di Wnat Can e (JOT . .... We can get busy as individuals n& organize mot p,,,,,,,, and combat crime with our VOTES, .'' THE world court, for example, . v . CQ Dg a constructive iorce ... ,,11 . .,. court has repeatedly been endorsed by both major parties, this country has never joined it. and there is no indication that it will. Whyt Because there is no strong public demand for it, because there is no political pressure exerted to bring it about. The people as a whole simply don't care. . - 'T'O check crime, various changes in legal procedure are iin- porative. A thorough house cleaning in the legal profession is also ueoded. But when the legislature meets is there, any organized effort to bring such changes about? No. If an effort IS made, and the lawyers' lobby smothors it in 'committee! do those respon sible suffer any risk of political punishment f No; The people, as a whole, don't pay enough attention to the legislature to know what is really going on. Everyone's business, as usual, is nobody 's business. For many years a familiar political slogan in this part of the state has been : "You get just what you vote for." You do! And you get JUST as good a government, JUST as peaceful a world, JUST as lawful and orderly a society as you are willing to WORK for. Which is only another way of saying that "we, the people" get in the long run, locally, nationally and internationally, just the sort of world wo deserve no better no more. And it WILL NOT improve MATERIALLY until "we the people" get up on our hind legs and DEMAND it. Communications Fruit Loans Explained To the Editor: Through various sources 1 have be come aware of criticism of the Losn Committee of the Medford Production Credit association because of Its re jection of many application, for loans. Thla criticism Is based, I believe, on a failure to understand the purpose for which the association waa set up It la NOT a relief organisation; on the contrary. It is a branch office of a bank and Ita business u to supply credit at a reasonable. rat. for a sea son', operations, the money borrowed to be repaid when th. crops have been sold. It la a kind of credit that ha been greatly needed by the farm era, and It la a source of credit thrt will, continue only If tha loan, are carefully made. A loin for crop production which upon careful analyst, does not offer prospect of liquidation from ths silt of the crop ta a doubtful loan. Why? Because there Is an Impairment of the capital which la chargeable to the capital stock subscription of the borrowers so that your sound borrow r ha. to carry th. weak on.. Mani government under the law. We sentiment in this country, than really going on in this country know, the nation's history, We can pro- would, if properly iinplcinent- ' , i -n.. . I. ! I ior worm peace, cut wane me festly, th. ound loan will soon go elsswhere if w. mske a lot of unsound loans and the whole source of credit will dry up. Criticism of our committee caused th. flpokan. offlc. to send an exam iner here to go over the rejected ap plications; he went over every single rejection and then Informed u. that not on. of th. rejected applications would hare' been approved by him. I ahould add that any loan approved by our committee must also be approved by the Intermediate Credit Bank of Spokane from which the money comes. GORDON VOORHIE3. President.

SOME FURTHER LUCUBRATIONS ON LUBRICATION Notwithstanding much dllettant study I have never discovered just why an automobile goes when you press the button. I shall never get over feeling as tonished and de lighted whenever I see one start off. Once I bought some books about aut omo biles and studied them dil igently, but It was all so con fusing. Then X took to hanging around garages and watching me chanics take 'em apart and still I got no light on It. Now and then I timidly asked questions, but I soon found that would not do for they obviously thought I was queer full of dope, probably. So I gave up try ing to understand what makes them go. For this reason I have unbounded admiration for the chap who can justj listen or push the car about a bit or drive It a few yards and diagnose in stantly what's wrong with It. But there's plenty of quackery In more trades than one. When my car Is not running right I am precisely In the position of the average Individ ual who feela that his digestion Is out of kilter or his nerves are all shot. Tm easy meat for the unscrup ulous expert. Take the matter of lubrication for example. If I heed only the teach ings or advice of the quacks who profit on r credulity this Item la going to cost, me quite a bit. On the other hand, if I listen to competent engineers who have nothing to sell to me I can effect a saving and still have good lubrication. People who depend on the Instruc tion and advice of vendors of lubri cants or physics are quite likely to have morbid sessions which cost plenty from year to year, not to men tion the effect of physics on health. The fad or fashion has swung from pills to mineral oil, and then to agar agar (seaweed) and lately to psyl lium seed, following more or less the vogue of these things among the leading quacks In our regular pro fessional ranks. Bran has been in corporated in the mash, too, some times with ordinary foods, sometimes fixed with agar-agar and even with mineral oil in various 1 so-called "health" foods. v All of these new-fangled "aids" to "nature" have been exploited because the general public knew little about them and readily believed whatever the big shots pleased to say. Plain pleblan flax seed, which In my opinion Is the best and least objectionable Internal lubricant one can uso, has been scorned by the wiseacre public because the public was fairly familiar with this ancient household remedy and could not be lieve It has any virtue for such a purpose. : A few of our leading quacks still utter warnings against the use of such seeds In certain cases, for In stance ulcer in stomach, duodenum 1 or colon. In such cases the best NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.O.McIntyre NEW YORK. April 30.

At noon they lunched at the old Fifth Avenue, where Senator Plait likewise held forth In the famous Amen corner. Incidentally. Herbert Corey was about the first and certainly the most entertaining of the newspapermen to write Informally about Manhattan for syndication. New York to him was al ways a srene of bewilderment, and hi bursts of enthusiasms were not only shrewd and wise but ntpplngly nu merous. Not once did he erer throw mud.

For all ordinary persons, however, a spoonful or two of plain whole raw flaxseeds, of course clean, wash ed with water If necessary, may be taken dally for a time, in lieu of all other physics or laxatives, with nothing but benefit. The demulcent effect of the swelling and soften ing and liquefaction of the flaxseeds In the digestive tract most -nearly resembles the normal or natural se cretion of mucus that keeps the tract properly lubricated In health. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Arthritis Relieved About a year ago I wrote you about my 'excess weight. By following your regimen I reduced 30 pounds In about threo months, Best of all, the arthritis from which I had suffered for years has been wonderfully re lieved. (Mrs. H. W. 8.) Answer That may be an effect of the reduction regimen, but on the other hand It is as likely to be mere ly a coincidence. Only way we can settle the point la to try It on a few hundred overweight Individuals who have chronic arthritis, especial ly the form In which nodes develop first about the finger Joints. Such persona should study these "Little Lesson" (1) The Ills Called Rheu matism, (3) Regeneration Regimen and (3) Design for Dwindling. The booklets are 10 cents each. Inclose a stamped envelope bearing your ad dress. Stroke of Paralysis ; Husband had stroke of paralysis seven years ago. Last year or so he seems to be getting worse. I am told paralysis la contagious. Can get no Information from the clinic. They seem anxious to have me take some treatment there. I don't understand what for . . . (Mrs. H. Q.) Answer Stroke or shock Is due to hemorrhage Into the brain, from rup ture of a small artery which has been long affected by arteriosclerosis or hardening of the arteries. Nothing contagious about It. Even if your husband's condition Is actual loco motor ataxia that Is a slow devel opment of partial paralysis due to Involvement of the spinal cord in the third or later stage of syphilis the trouble Is no longer commun icable! But you may have contracted syphilis from him many, years ago when he had the first or second ary stage in the primary and sec ondary stages the disease Is com municable, but in the third and later stages It Is, slightly or not at all communicable. If you are hav ing any trouble with health at all it might be wlso for you to receive some treatment. But do not confuse apoplexy, hemorrhage In the brain, a stroke or shock of paralysis, with locomotor ataxia. Anyone whose art eries are Involved In arteriosclerosis may have a stroke; only a person with syphilis can auffer locomotor ataxia or paresis (softening of the brain). Ed Note: Readers wishing to communicate with Dr. Brady should send letters direct to Dr. William Brady, M. D., 265 K. Ca mlno, Beverly Hills, Cal. tily and the rigors of a dally grind caused him to hide out for several weeks In the hope that those Interest ed would forget all about It. What a pace he would have set for those who followed! Personal nomination for the most clever pantomlmlst since Charlie Chaplin Jimmy Savo. Every now and then I run across some essay In print that causes a rip ple of laughter to swell Into a roir. At auch times I want to execute a nlp-up for I know somewhere an Inky wretch has been having a grand time. Any article or short atory writ ten with a gusto was magnificent fun for the writer thereof and let no one kid you otherwise. There Is a lot of sloppy nonsense about the pains of literary parturition; that pieces which foliate smoothly with a harvest of laughs are alow and painful in their construction. Nothnig Is more Insin cere. All the good stuff we see in print gave the writers, during the labor, ex quisite Joy and not a single wince. Any established writer who says writ ing is painful Is a poseur. Likely no writer had so much fun enriching literature especially the "Potash and Perlmutter" stories as Montague Glass. He frequently had to leave the typewriter to whoop during the processes of literary Incubation. He got so he would not tell his plots to editors because he laughed so. He sent a synopsis Instead.

"I am not crazy," the Swiss phy sicist added. Rockets are Impractical for Inter planetary travelling because they have to carry twenty tons of ex plosives for the return trip.
