Editorial Correspondence ROCKB'ORD, Illinois, June River farm took three hours. Jinks and Hank, two middle-aged plow horses supplied the motive power, over the old Tressbridge road, which wound its way over the rolling prairies, in the ceneral direction of a little country village known as Durand. Uncle L. was the driver, and was returning after taking a load of hogs to the slaughter house near Rockford. We sat with him high up on a spring seat, and were in constant fear of falling off into the straw and muck below, where the unfortunate porkers had recently been wallowing. But we didn't. So we arrived in due time in all our glory, with a splendiferous shoe shine intact and only about two inches of dust on our Sunday suit. Yesterday we motored out to the same Sugar River farm in twenty minutes and could have made it in 15 if speed had been desired. Instead of a dusty dirt road, rickety wooden bridges, and a constant vertical vibration, which made one's teeth chatter, the Ford purred over a smooth pavement, across solid concrete culverts, and in an atmosphere as clear as a bell and as dustless as an air conditioned subway. So from the horse and wagon days to the age of the V-8 motor! Everything had changed except the old red brick farmhouse, the sandstone "spring house", the meandering creek under the willows and the Sugar river. New barn with double-barrelled silo, new fences, a new shed with concrete floors for a tractor and five passenger car, and pew owners. We didn't stop but just continued on to the Sugar river, which was a great catfish stream in the old days, and may be now, but we doubt it. Modern service stations, concrete highways, summer cottages and summer homes, one of them the property of Sydney Smith, the originator of the Gumps, and according to local gossip the scene of considerable whoopee, somehow don't suggest it. Fish ing for "cats" was an old fashioned, pedestrian bare-foot-anrl-cane-pole sport. The catfish may still be there, but we doubt if anyone has sufficient leisure nowadays to sit on the tree shaded banks and wait for them to bite. A familiar name on a weather beaten mail box attracted our attention so we drove in, to find tance of our youth, weighing about 200 pounds, and seated m a swinging settee on the front porch, seemingly suspended by sn electric wire extending from his waist to a lamp socket above. The dav was warm but he was covered with blanket, and an expression of suffering affliction upon his heavily lined face. We purchased some spring chickens, which in a remarkably short time were supplied. During the wait, we learned ably made an able-bodied, middle-aged farmer an invalid for life. During the past winter, two one cold night, and ransacked it apparently in search of several thousand dqllsrs they believed had been secreted there. Finding no such treasure they woke up the grandmother, and threatened torture unless she revealed the hiding place. ' Her son, though sleeping upstairs and in another part of the house, was awak ened by the commotion, a husky, fearless and impulsive type he rushed down stairs and into the old lHdy's room, to be met by a blow from a blackjack which laid him out unconscious. The two yeggs, apparently enraged at the frustration of their hopes, for good measure fired a couple of shots into the room as they departed. One of them buried itself in the wall harmlessly but the second, fired low, hit the prostrate form, as it. lay face down on the floor, and lodged near the spinal cord from which it enn't be or at least hasn't been extracted. From the waist down he is paralyzed, and at the time was taking treatment via an electric pad around his waist! Again from horse and buggy days to the days of the T8 motor! This section of Illinois can be reached in two or three hours from the Chicago loop. In the 80's it would have taken as many weeks. It would be fun to motor a native Oregonian about this Sugar River country. No mountains, no forests of fir and pine, no hills higher than a man's hat, no waterfalls or sparkling streams, nothing but a sleepy, meandering river, about the color of a chocolate milkshake, between banks of solid black loam, and shaded by towering trees, not a rock, a stone, or even a digger squirrel in sight. We venture ths N. 0. would wonder what anyone could see in this sort of country, o,i rhnime to live here if he could live anywhere else.- Yet ask the man who was born here as he stages "The Native's Return!" To him nothing could be more restful, more peaceful, more satisfy ing than this particular section of northern Illinois.

Something phoney about that Baer-Braddock fight as we heard it over the radio "Graham MaeNamee speaking." Nothing about it carried conviction, and no one can persuade us, it was on the "up and up." Max claimed his hands were broken which wasn't true, and then announced he would never fight again, which will also prove untrue. A shady mess however you may look at it, and the most uninteresting title match we can recall. R. W. R. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY Ry O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK.

CaJ. THE LAST OF The isjrt, let us hope, of the vita mins to be recognized are E and O. But already there are threat In cer tain quarters to postulate a vita min J and a vi tamin H, so I suppose we must expect the worst. Tn a casual or Idle way I have been messing round with the v 1 1 amlns rather I n t e n slvely for quite a while now, and speak ing as a lowbrow and just a door- to-door doctor, 1 don't think vitamin S or vitamin O Is so hot. Anyway, themore I study them the less I know or even surmise about them. The suspicion grows on me that what the big shots In research call vitamin E la only A In disguise, and what they call O Is really plain old B's double or dummy. But don't let this stop you If you're hunting for E or O, for. as I say, I'm a stranger here my self. Vitamin E. the scientists tell us, Is essential for fertility In the animal economy. The best source of It la wheat germ oil, but It la found m many grains, vegetables, meat, milk and butter. These foods promote re production In animal economy. I leave It to you to decide whether you are animal or vegetable. Vitamin O, the scientists tell us. Is essential to prevent pellagra. The beet sources of It are yeast and wheat germ, but It la found in practically all foods which contain vitamin B. Now here are some suggestions for folk who want to Increase their vita min Intake. Breakfast. Citrus fruit or citrus fruit Juice. Tomato Juice, fresh or (factory) can ned. Fresh milk, raw, certified or meta.bollr.ed vitamin D milk. One or two eggs, cooked as you prefer. Plain wheat bran, or wheat krlnkled at home and cooked as you prefer. Prunes, melon or other fresh fruit. Luncheon. Salad containing the outer green leaves of lettuce, raw carrots, raw cabbage, raw onion tips and bulbs, cheese, escarole (chicory greens, en dives), peppers, tomato, bits of chop ped liver or kidney. Two fresh vege. tables. Milk, buttermilk or any milk beverage. Bread with plenty of but ter. Fresh fruit dessert. ties for the prevention of cruelty to children. Burton Holmes, the lecturer, is one of the most Indefatigable of the caviar addtcta. He haa a blob al most every night for dinner and often snafflea a smidgin for lunch. Rudy Vallee, too.

It fol lows : "It Is generally screed among world statesmen, scholars and business men that action should be taken to bring the currencies of the leading coun tries Into some definite form of equilibrium. Until the relationship of International currenclea has been established upon a basis inspiring more confidence than the present Im provised system of clearing transac tions between nations It is reas onable to assume that the total vol ume of world trade will not expand appreciably In the coming month. Moreover, If the gold bloc should be forced to give ground, except in ac cordance with International agree ment, world trade would undoubtedly receive another setback." Unofficial feelers sent out by the new deal have developed the fact that Britain does not want to stabilize. She considers the doller undervalued, We consider the pound overvalued. Also, money ha become more deeply In volved with the tariff and debt ques tions. Trying to settle all those things involves a stupendous task, for which the world Is not yet ready. If the financial authorities among the new dealers understand the situ ation correctly. These things will bs settled some dny. but tjot Just yet. Here's an amusing one on the Russo-Japanese tension along the Si berian border. A few days ago. the Soviets lodged a protest at Toklo against the killing of a Soviet soldier by Japanese troop along the border. The Japanese asserted the Soviet trooper was shot on Manchukuo's aoil. They pointed to the fact he Is buried there. The Soviets have retorted that the Japanese crossed the border, shot the trooper on Soviet territory and then carried his body back and burled It on Manchukuo soil to escape the charge of crossing the border. unuual Mr.im OH Perm anent.

Abo Special Permanent Comment on the Day's News By nUHK JENKINS EIOHTT yean ago thl week, Oua Utu Franklin Swift started Into business for himself. Re waa then aged 16, and he bad a total cash capital of 120, acquired by hard work and careful penny pinching. He paid $19 for a neigh bor's heifer, killed It, dressed tt and cut up the carcass himself, and sold the meat In his little home town on Cape Cod. He realised a modest profit. OUT of thla enterprise on the part of it founder grew the great mast packing firm of Swift Co., which haa been cussed liberally by demagogues from coast to coast dur ing the greater part of Its Incor porated existence, but which never theless ha performed a service of Inestimable value to the livestock Industry, IN 1876, twenty year after his first business venture baok In his home town, Oustavus F. Swift ar rived In Chicago. By that time, he had become a successful meat deal er and cattle buyer and was look ing around for t larger field of op eration. He found It In Chicago. He brought with him to Chicago two things of the utmost Import ance ambition and an IDEA. Hi Idea waa that the meat business, as then conducted, was sinfully waste ful. So he set about eliminating the waste. MEAT animal were then shipped to the point of ultimate con sumption on the hoof and there slaughtered. That Involved a lot of cost. It aeemed to Swift that there was a better way of doing It, and he staked his fortune on the belief that refrigeration provided thU bet ter way. His Idea waa to assemble meat animals at strategic points, slaugh ter them there by factory methods. Instead of In the old hand way. and distribute the meat In refrigerated cars, saving all the by-products at the same time. The Idea WORKED, a everybody now know, and out of It grew the whole modern business of meat pack ing. SWT FT started small la Chicago, a he had started small tn his home town back on Cape Cld, but his business, based on hi nw Idea, grew. By 1888, It had grown to the point where large new capital was needed, so Swift it Co. was Incorpor ated so that stock could be sold in order to obtain the needed capital. That was a half century ago, and Swift & Co. Is this week celebrating the 60th anniversary of It exis tence aa a corporation. GREAT fortune have been bunt out of Oustavua F Swiff orig inal idea, and these great fortunes have been the target for Innumer able demagogue, large and small. But remember that this Idea, which originated with a boy' who started In business for himself at the sge of 16 with 630 of capital which he had savad out of hi own earnings, CHEAPENED ENORMOUS LY the cost of handling meat, de livering It to the consumer for less and making It poaeibla to pay the producer more. Thus everybody benefited, and Gustavu F. Swift KONESTLT California-Western States Life Insurance Company Announces the Appointment of HOWARD V.

THIS great country ha grown from a wlldemeea In lea than two oenturle. and the greater part of thl growth has come about be cause of the effort of men with new Idea and the courage and the nergy to back them. If we ever reach the point where we DISCOURAGE such men. lnatesd of encouraging them to go ahead, we shall begin to slip backward as a nation Instead of going forward aa w have In the past. IN COMPETITION IE (Continued from Page One.) the same time. While it Is true that a direct benefit la obtained by ho tels, garages, restaurants and those businesses dealing directly with trav el. It la also atressed that everyone benefits indirectly. The money spent In the hotels Is distributed in wages snd through purchase of those ne eesssry things to conduct the hotel. This money In turn get Into the cash register of all type of busi nesses. Many large cities employ a man ager for their convention department whose duty it is to do nothing else but encourage conventions to come to their particular cities. Chamber official state, after looking over the convention being held In other cltle In Oregon, that Medford Is ob talnlng more than Ita share, due. it la believed to having an energetic convention commtttee. The Chamber of Commerce does not put up any money towards se curing a convention, the directors having definitely determined such policy 1 not good because If con vention have to be bought they naturally would only go to the larg er center where the most money 1 available. However, the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, ren der many services to conventions when they meet In Medford. An In formation booth ia always establish ed with a competent girl In charge and she assist In the registration of delegate and by virtue of her experience carries out many duties for the organization sponsoring the convention which otherwise may be neglected. Many services are rendered by the Chamber at the time of con ventions In order that the delegates and visitors In the city may enjoy their atay to the utmost. The travel Industry is one of the largest In America today. The United States Department of Commerce uses 3.000.000.000 as the estimate of the money, paving the wake of traveler In America annually. On this basis. report the commerce department. the travel Industry becomes the equal of the great steel and Iron Industry: 11 per cent greater than the clothing or packing trade: 45 per cent greater than the combined printing and publishing business: 51 percent greater than oil produc tion: the huge lumber Industry can muster only business enough to fall 60 per cent below It; It Is 185 per pent greater thsn the baking Indus try and 222 per cent greater than the shoe trade. In view of the foregoing figures It can easily be seen the encour agement of conventions is a logical proper, and a business-like thing to do because it brings travelers to a community In such large numbers. Tn obtaining a convention the Chamber, to a great extent. Is de pendent upon assistance given It by cltlrens who belong to various or ganisations. They attend a conven tion held elsewhere and use their Influence, backed by the Chamber. to place Medford'a claims before the delegates. The chamber of commerce urges that anyone belonging to an organisation which could hold It meeting In Medford. get In touch with Chamber of Commerce officials so that the necessary machinery may be set In motion to bring additional annual meetings to the city.
