Thla Is th WEEK OP THE JUBI LEE. Several have threatened to be happy, and & few have confessed they are already. BUFFALO, Wyoming, May 29. There in only one thing here occupying the public mind, -that is rain. They don't care about the NRA, CAVA, AAA or any other alphabetical combina tions, they only care about rain, and they want that PDQ. Being anxious always to. relieve distress, and having no control over the elements ourselves, we have appealed to the one man in Medford who has i.e. Gene Thorndike. Gene is the man who wagered it would rain .16 of an inch Easter day, and won. If you doubt that ask John Cupp who paid the bet. All that is needed to give Buffalo a downpour is for John Cupp to bet it won't rain three inches in this part of 'Wyoming before Decoration Day, and Gene to bet it will. This has been arranged by telegraph. When this parched neck of the woods gets its million dollar rain tomorrow, they can thank Gene Thorndike, who never lost a bet, and J. Curp who never won one, at least against Gene. , . , This rain business, however, is nothing to joke about. This is essentially a sheep and cattle country, and there hasn't been a real rain since New Tear's eve. The dirt roads are a foot deep in dust... The air is full of cotton from the cotton wood trees. Those cattle men who can are driving their herds where feed is available, and those who are lucky to have federal per mits are hustling them up near the government range. These ranges, however, won't open up until sometime in June. Those who have neither are just praying. For the sheep and cattle have already started to die. It isn't a matter of water to drink, it's a matter of something to eat. Such herds bf cattle and sheep as they have here can't be fed at this time of year on hay. They must have grass, and be tided over the winter on the hay crop. This is the peak of the crisis. If rain doesn't come with in a week or ten days it will be too late. There was heat light ning in the hills last night and the skies are overcast today. But as yet not a drop. Go to it, Gene, and bring them rain ! Merely for the record the same conditions exist hero that existed en route growing criticism of the New Deal. Enthusi asm has gone, and ao many people are tired of waiting. Of course in a town like this facing a major disaster, the reaction can't be .taken as typical. But thus far all along the way, the same psychology has been apparent, ; This same condition un doubtedly led to the strikes throughout the country. The work ers' got tired of promises about better wages and decided to try some direct action toward getting them. If this feeling spreads, wo fear the Democrats are going to have some tough slodding in Personal Health Service By William Brady, M.D. signed letter pertaining to personal health and hygiene not to dis ease diagnosis or treatment, will be answered by Ur.

Of 268 boys from 8 to 18 years of age In a private school In Boston, six teen were found to have undescended testicle. Cryptor chidism Is the medical term for It. Of 260 boys from 9 to 19 years of age In a school In St. Paul eleven 'were lOund to have the same defect ot development. Probably the con dition would bo more frequent than these fig- u.cs indicate If a general Investigation of a large number of boys were made. Heretofore the tendency or practice has been to regard this as a rather serious condition, and to urge surgi cal Interference In early boyhood. Howover, spontaneous correction of the defect occurred In nine out of the eleven cases In the St. Paul school, at the age of ten years, eleven years, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and In one case In the sixteenth year. . One of the older Ideas of physicians was that If this condition, cryptor chidism, was not operated on, the undescended testicle was likely to undergo mallgnnnt or cancerous change eventually. But experience has shown that there was no foun dation for that notion. It Is not now regarded as an Indication for operation. . The operation for bringing the tes tis down to Its proper place Is by no means always successful. Indeed- It Is completely successful In only about one-third of the cases where opera tion la done. From a thoro Investigation of this subject Dr. Carl B. Drake of St. Paul concludes that In the majority of cases of undescended testicle In boy hood spontaneous descent occurs by the age of fourteen years, but some times Is delayed to the age of fifteen or even sixteen. He quotes a remark made by a Dr. E. D. Newell In a recent article In a surgical journal on the "Ideal Opera tion" for undescended testicle. Said Dr. Newell: A legend prevails In the south that operation for undescended testicle should be delayed until after puberty, as the testis will probably descend at or Just after puberty. "When we consider what little foundation such a legend has In fact and what perfect opportunity there has always been for accurate obser vation and refutation, it Is profound ly depressing that this legend should continue to exist among medical men." To that Dr. Drake replies: "On the contrary, It seems to me re markable that the truth of this le gend has not been generally appreci ated by the medical profession." Be ol good cheer, folks. By and by we'll break the ever-ready operators ot this traditional Yankee custom ol getting In, getting out and getting away to the golf course. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Beware the Racket Kindly Inform me where the Injec tion treatment for hernia may be ob tained. The names of private practi tioners and clinics will be appreciat ed. (M. F. A.) Answer I advise you to give all "clinics," "associations," "institutes," "centres" and similar impersonal firms or corporations a wide berth and deal only with a physician who practices under his own name. Send a stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for name of the near est physician I can recommend for such treatment. Ben Told, N. D.

A bird who fools 'em by using the fake letters N. D. after his name. No such degree Is given by any reputable school or university. What It signified, really, Is "near- doctor" near enough so that the dumb customers arc fooled. Only charlatans of various stripes seek to frighten people about the use of aluminum ware for kitchen and cooking. Aluminum ware has served well In our kitchen for 30 years. I'm not nearly dead yet.

A dude is generally a tenderfoot from the East with money. From the Buffalo standpoint the "e" in dude is silent as in fish. From the dude's standpoint anyone is classified in that category who can read and write. However the Dude ranch business is one of the few industries in these parts not ruined by the depression. Those fortunate enough to own dude ranches still enjoy a good trade, and present indications are this summer will be the most pros perous one since 1929.

He has been abroad for the last eight months, teaching at Oxford. The only way he has been -consulted Is that he was asked nearly a year ago to recom mend several men for specific Jobs. (Landls, Corcoran, Cohen.) They have had him on the trans-Atlantic tele phone a few times. Several officials have received a few letters from him, but he Is completely out of touch with the situation and probably would not dare to offer any advice If he bad any to offer. Everyone here knows that the one person responsible for the success or mistakes of the new deal la Mr. Roosevelt himself. He may have re ceived some bad advice at times, but, apparently, he does not think so. At least he has manifested no eagerness, in the face of criticism, to change his advisers. That, in Itself, Is a hint of how he really stands. . This situation will be clear when the history of this administration Is written In retrospect. For the present, it probably will be popular to let the advisers bear the brunt of attack and defense, because both the defenders and attackers seem to like It that way. Flight o Time (.Medford and Jackson County History from the Flies of The Mall Tribune of 2.0 and 10 Years Ago.) RELIEF PROMISED 1951 TAXES PAID NANKING, June 2. (AP) Op pressed Chinese farmers some of whom have Just finished paying taxes on their lands up to the year 1951 are to get some consideration from the government. t The farmer, prey of the war lords and victims of provincial and local officials, has long been China's "for gotten man." The government at last has shown concern, and has called a convention of national and pro vincial financial authorities which next month will try to work out re lief plans. An example of how families have suffered from excessive levies Is pro vided by Tse LI Hslen, a small pro vince In Hunan province, where taxes have been paid 27 years In ad vance. The larger part of tho tax rev enues goes to support of IochI armies, which turn about and draw further on the slender resources of the farmers. 15? LOS ANGELES, June 2.
