IH. u. Wells Bossy) A Real Danger to Oregon A PAMPHLET, "The Communist Party in Action" by Alex Bittelman, has come to our desk. It is published by the Workers Library, New York city, and explicitly confirms, what this paper has suspected. The Communist party is not only behind the present textile strike but was behind the Longshoreman's strike, and is behind all large scale strikes in this country. Both fomenting and supporting industrial disorders is one of the first principles of the American communistio party. "We quote t "The party should be the vanguard of the working class. Every shop must become a fortress of Communism, and every member of the party an organized leader of the daily struggles of the masses. ... To win the majority of the working class for the acceptance of the overthrow of the bourgeoisie and the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat, is the chief strategic aim of the Communist party. This means to convince the masses. Including working women snd youth of the need of a revolutionary way out of the crisis. . . . Members of the Communist party must be members of trade unions . . . Dally struggles in the shop for the economlo demanda of the workers (strikes, sto.) offer one of the chief weapona for com batting the capitalistic offensive, and securing the overthrow of capitalistic government." Further on in the pamphlet the author clearly shows that one of the best avenues of approach to the overthrow of the American government is to secure strikes in industry, and sow the seeds of revolt and discontent among what he calls "the tenant farmers" and cheap farm labor including the negro labor in the south and the large cities of the Mississippi valley. No pretension is made that this is to be a peaceful revolution. Force as advocated by Lenin and Stalin is endorsed, for says the writer- capitalism will never surrender and will never grant any real concessions. IT MUST BE DESTROYED. i i i i CO there you are. The issue is plain and clearly drawn. The Communist party in this country, is well organized and is working steadily, through fomenting strikes, spreading discon tent, and holding out a Soviet government as the only salvation of the common man, to secure sufficient popular support to plunge this country into a bloody and merciless revolution. Everyone knows organized labor in this country is not "revo lutionary." The American Federation of Labor, as at present organized, is one of the strongest forces in the country against communism. But it is being USED, just as the author admits the "Unit ed Farmers League" is being used, as a breeding ground for the ultimate armed offensive to overthrow the American govern ment. i NO one can read this "call to arms". without realizing what a r-Anl anrf immprlinta Aarctnv tVia fnmmiinict nanli, I. 41ii'o country represents. Nor can one to this state, the candidacy of Zimmerman represents. Not that Zimmerman is a Communist, or has any real revo lutionary aims in the back of radicalism, his constant appeals to class hates and prejudices, are all grist for the Beds' mill, and will be used as Buch. Should Zimmerman be elected governor, it would unquestion ably be taken as evidence that this state is ripe for a communis tio drive. Zimmerman's program would be destructive enough, in itself, but a sane and constructive legislature could be de pended upon to keep that pretty well under control. But an influx of more Reds, and more Orogon would be nothing short Let no one be deceived however, that is what a Zimmerman victory would mean. The Mail Tribune has never of radical agitation and propaganda in this state. In fact it has often been accused of leaning the other way. But it DOES believe the munistio angle, in this state, serious, and deserves the most tion, on the part of all right-thinking citizens. TTIIERE is a definite and organized movement under way to overthrow the government of this country, and it is led by a very shrewd, resourceful and unscrupulous bunch of men, taking their orders direct from Moscow. The only way to handle a menace of this sort is to fight It at the outset, fight it with every resource at our command, and crush it before it can get a start. And a necessary preliminary to such a campaign is to snow under such political movements as this Zimmerman independent candidacy represents, for in essence it represents to the E.C.CI. (Executive Committee of Communist International) merely this: its CHANCE to get a start 1 Many TPllE Mail Tribune wishes to take this opportunity to thank the people of Medford and southern Oregon particularly those in the rural districts, for the splendid support given this paper in the bargain week ,i'it concluded.

MODERN METHOD S OF REDUCTION I im led to belle ye," wrot Dr. Ruuell Wilder In a aclentlfto article , on the treatment of obesity, "that ex-! ceeslve eating by some persons may be explained as j a n unconscious ! effort to secure adequate V It a -mlns." In the text of the same article, Dr. Wild er Intimates that vitamins A and D may be neglected In the diet, since the patient's own fat la drawn on during reduction and this fat con tains some vitamins. Dra. Frank. Evans and J. Strang found that overweight patients on a carefully limited dlot supplying con siderably lea than 1000 calories a day but adequate vitamins lost from 2V2 to 414 pounds a week, did not com plain of hunger, felt a return of vigor, feeling of well being and re sistance to fatigue. Dr. Josephine H. Kenyon success fully treated a series of cases of hy popltultary obesity by diet and exer cise alone, without the use of any glandular medication. The diet she adapted for such cases was based to a degree on that which Drs. Evans and Strang had worked out. Dr. Ken yon gave patients In addition three or four special vitamin preparations. "It was difficult for some of these patients to learn to eat all that was advised. Breakfast, especially, was a larger meal than they were accus tomed to." The breakfast generally prescribed was one portion of fruit, one egg and the white of a second egg, and. If desired, clear coffee or tea, a bread substitute and a sugar substitute. It begins to look as though the vitamin ration has a good deal to do with the subject of overweight and reduction. That Is a factor which has been Ig nored In all 'previous diets or meth ods of reduction, simply because no body knew enough about vitamins. It Is one reason why I no longer suggest the Karell (skim milk) diet which I formerly recommended with great enthusiasm. Another reason, of course. Is that we now have a re duction method which Is so much more satisfactory, to patient and phy sician alike, that there is no reason why anyone should suffer the dis comforts of such severely restricted diets. The so-called Hollywood or 18-day SQUAW LAKE TO SEE GOLD RUSH ftls handsome malemute dogs. Major and Mickey, lolled near as the dwarf caretaker of Kubll's place at upper Squaw lake paused Sunday afternoon at his workbench In the woodshed to greet visitors from the outside world. Charlie (Shorty) Farns worth likes to talk, particularly when he carries on conversations with his shiny black dogs who look at him with worshiping eyes. The dwarf was busily repairing his dog wagon to be ready for the Yreka Qold Rush September 14, 15 and 10. He has been Invited to be In the big parade and la looking forward to an exciting time. He haa taken part In many similar events along with his malemutea, but for this occasion his heavy dark beard has been carefully fostered until he thinks It will make a good showing among the best of them. "Shorty" la only 4 feet. 7 Inches tall and weighs but 75 pounds. And yet he looks like a pretty big load for his dogs to carry on the mlnla ttire red wagon. Several such trips were described to his guests as they sat on the woodpile llstenlnn to min ing experiences In Klamath county and plans for a winter In the Jack sonville hills. Farnsworth'a house Is made of wea ther beaten logs and there are aged apple trees In the back yard. His floor showed evidence of much sweep ing ar.d a curtain at the window had been recently washed. Asked If he didn't wlnh he had a housekeeper to do the cooking and such, Shorty ans wered. "Well, now, thlnps being the way they are I don't see how X could support another one. I get along fine. Didn't get up here In time to can berries, but I have some nice prunes." He produced two Jars of his favorite fruit to prove his statement.

He loes make use of the lake for his weekly bath though. Fifty-four years ago In Wisconsin when Shorty was born his mother died and the father Rave his onlv son to a man named Fnrnsworth.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Persistent Thymus What Is the cause of permanent thymus In an Infant? If treated with X-ray Is It apt to cause trouble later on? (Mrs. C. R.) Answer.

Radium for Cancer Is radium a sure cure for cancer? My doctor said I had a cancer ami for me to get radium treatment at once. Will radium treatments kill the cancer so it will never come back? (Mrs. C. A. E.) Ans. I don't know a sure cure for anything under the sun. except per hapa death for taxes, though with the Inheritance tax and all, It seems as though even death doesn't get you anywhere these days. Unfortunately one with cancer Is not In a position to demand a guarantee. You had better begin the radium treatments without delay. In inoperable cases of cancer radium or X-ray treatments are often the best alternative. In some cases radium or X-ray treat ments before and following operation effect cures which would be out of the 'u wtlon without these aids, (Copyright, 1934, John F. Dllle Co.) Ed. Note!

I am one of the few remaining old time track horse shoere. following races for years In Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois, I have shod 13 head Jumpers, saddlers and young horses In the last week, and many more waiting till X can come out. People are talking horse more and looking for a better standard for breeding stock. Just go out and try and buy an Al 1600 lb. horse and see If I am not right. In five years a good team of 3200 pounders will cost you plenty. I personally know a lady here that refused 9200 apiece for two saddlers. They were nice, but a few years ago you could get a flock of horses for that. So I say again, horses are coming back, and I dont mean maybe.

Inscription Max Miller sends me on the fly page of his new book, "The Second House from the Corner." It reads: "From this little pin feather out west who was fool enough to write himself out ol ft regular Job." Every reporter who haa risen to novelist feels that twinge with new affluence. He longs for the roar of the presses, the aroma of Ink. Max Miller had a swell time covering the San Diego water front for many years. Perhaps the most notable example of the editorial room's lure Is Oeorge S. Kaufman, the playwright. He turned out one play success after an other until Variety reported his royalties $8000 a week. Yet he would not at that time give up his Job In the dra mat lo department of a morn ing paper. Instead of basking In the glory that was his, he hunched over a typewriter In the Clackety-clack of the news room. Max Baer, all too soon, learned the fickleness of public acclaim.

A professor of psychology, to whom I Just phoned, tells me that with ft world In doldrums, people are not In terested In popular heroes such as Max Baer. Indeed, they resent them. Every depression brings the fulfill ment of the Biblical prophecy: "The meek shall Inherit the earth." Wise cracking films go out like a light. Smart aleo essays are dismissed with a glance.

JARMJVS DR VO STORK M - J r Sciwe.l. Distributor, 6C4 Bealir St," VALLEY OF ROGUE EXCELS IN Fill Article In 'Oregon Farmer' Tells of Resources Here Peach Success of Wol gamott Pointed With Pride The following article, written by J. Verne Shangle, appeared In the Sep tember 0 issue of the Oregon Farmer, and is centered about the peaches grown at the Vance K. Wolgamott orchard in toe Oak Orove district: Medford pears are known ths world over and the famous Cornice pears from this district are served In the finest hotels in New York, Londan and Paris. Pears grown In the Rogue River valley set the standard for the world markets, and 80 per cent of the world's supply of Bose pears are grown In the territory surrounding Medford. Thlr city, the county seat of Jackson county, depends primarily on agriculture for Its existence. Although pears are of major Im portance In the agricultural life of Medford, there are other crops which contribute greatly to building up this city and Its surrounding country. To mato growing has come to the front In recent years, while dairying still maintains an Important position, with over 4000 persons depending on this Industry for a livelihood. Grapes grown on Beall lane, four miles from Medford. onoe took first prize at a world's fair competition with the vineyards of France and Italy. Ap ples produced on the Old Stage road also have taken world's prizes. During recent years peach growing has corns to the front In Jackson county and today is commanding con siderable attention from stone fruit growers. Approximately 800 acres In the Rogue River valley are planned to peaches, consisting principally of Elbert as. although Hales, Mulrs, Craw- fords, Clings and other varieties are produced. One of the principal peach growers in this section Is Vance K. Wolga mott, whose orchard, consisting of between 3500 and 4500 trees. Is lo cated approximately five miles from Medford. Mr. Wolgamott has stressed quality fruit and Kales predominate In bis orchard. This year he will pro duce 150 tons from the 60 acres he operates and with the new trees com ing on it is estimated that his pro duction next year will be In excess of 200 tons. Mr. Wolgamott has had the orchard two years, having come to Medford from Hood River, where he had ex tensive orchard holdings. His entire crop this year has been sold to Cali fornia buyers at better than the aver age market prices. Practically 73 per cent of the peaches grown In the Rogue River valley are shipped to Pacific coast states, many going to Los Angeles, while others are shipped as far north as Seattle. Mr. Wolga mott believes that California offers a splendid market for Oregon peaches, due to two reasons: First, that the Oregon crop Is available after the California crop Is finished, and sec ond, the exquisite quality of the Ore gon product. Although the highest price goes to Hales, nevertheless this variety is most suitable for canning purposes. The Oak Grove orchard op erated hy Mr. Wolgamott haa been known on many occasions to raise peaches averaging over one pound each. Mr. Wolgamott believes that the foothill country surrounding Ashland Is the best peach -producing area in the Rogue River valley because the soil, due to drainage, will produce the highest grade fruit and the climate is particularly suitable and adapted to peach raising. Wolgamott has developed a movable packing plant, the operation of which affects a saving of at least three cents a box. The plant Is built on a truck and will accommodate 10 packers. It Is driven right through the orchard so tha tthe fruit can be pk-iced In bas kets, laid right down on the truck. while the packers prepare the boxes ready of shipping. This movable plant effects a saving, prevents shaking up the fruit and eliminates transporta tion costs from the orchard to ordin ary packing plants. During the har vest season, Mr. Wolgamott employs 10 packers and 19 pickers over a three week period.
