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

racy nothing not even the NRA-
above criticism.
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.

Answer Trick "doctor." I think
you mean. 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

This is the original Dude ranch country. 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.

Professor Felix Frankfurter Is the
power behind the throne. 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.

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.

LOCAL LADY OWNS
MANY TOED CATS
Black cats with innumerable toes
are owned by Mrs. Ida C, Cole of
729 Welch street, who has one cat
with seven toes on each of Its front
feet, and five on each of Its hind
feet. Normally a cat has four toes
on each foot, Mrs. Cole said. One of
the cat's toes has three nails.
She did have a cat with six toes
per foot, but someone, apparently
attracted by the novelty, stole the
animal. However, she still has a cat
with five toes on each of Its front
paws. ,
The five-toed cat and the seven
toed cat fight constantly, Mrs. Cole
said, and the five-toed animal, al
though twice the size of his enemy,
left home and took up his residence
at the neighbors.
