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

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

MODERN METHOD S OF REDUCTION

Ruuell Wilder In a aclentlfto article ,
on the treatment of obesity, "that ex-!

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.

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. We do not know why this
gland sometimes falls to atrophy or
shrink at birth or shortly afterward.
X-ray treatment la the beat treat
ment for the condition, and has only
good after-effects.
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

There Is a wistful nostalgia In the
autobiographical . 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. Almost
overnight, he seemed destined to be
come the champion of champions. He
had all the Ingredients physique, a
neat tongue, warming smile and the
quality schools on Fifth avenue now
peddle as charm. He came his first
cropper at his New York personal ap
pearance. Quickly hli $8000 salary
was shucked to $5000. He went on
what was Intended ft 30-week tour.
Theatres began to cancel and In a
few weeks audience reaction so shriv
eled that In Chicago, which gave him
the warmest reception of all, the
heglra was abandoned, all hands paid
off.
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. Baer, In a measure, la a
victim of this shifting thought. It
may be only temporary, but It de
prives him of the chief asset of a
championship that brief stretch for
a hurried financial cleanup.
Mrs. E. B. White Is regarded, next
to Harold Ross, as the guiding genius
of the flourishing New Yorker. She
came to the publication in Its frail
formative days from a finishing

publication's stellar "Talk of the

to supply the distinct quality called

orchard in toe Oak Orove district:
Medford pears are known ths world

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

Medford, there are other crops which
contribute greatly to building up this
city and Its surrounding country. To

In recent years, while dairying still
maintains an Important position,

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.

THE GOLDEN GLOW
By Fred Alton Halght.
Of all the lovely flowers that grow.
My eye to charm, the golden glow
In stately pride and gorgeous hue
Delights me more than others do.
September, when the crickets sing j
And birds are restive on the wing, jf"
The golden glow lifts up its head '
In bold defiance, undauted.
Facing the waning autumn sun
As though Its day had Juss 'begun.
In brilliant dress fit for a king.
This ysllow flower stands bordering
The garden plot, the house, the fence,
Adding a touch of rare essence
To all that otherwise might be
Not quite so wonderful to see.
Out of the summer, now grow old
And gray, there comes this smile of
gold:
The drab things that would hide from
sight
Reflect soft tints in renewed light.
So may you linger, golden glow.
And smile ere your head bending low
In resignation sinks to rest
Upon the earth's frost-mantled breast.
