Medford One Extreme to Another 1 TOW soon we forget. We doubt if one person in a hundred. finds anything surprising or sensational in the "Neutrality measure", just passed by congress. Tet for those whose memories can go back 15 years, it repre sents one of the most complete history of the country. Less than two decades ago, neutrality was a synonym for treason. Those who dared question the wisdom of expending our blood and treasure to save crush Prussian militarism, were Internationalism, if not a first cousin. Shipping gold, guns and munitions to one side in the European holocaust; withholding them from the other, was generally accepted as not only moral duty. Such action was not war", it was the first step in a holy and super righteous crusade to make the world safe for democracy. OUT now what do we findt - For this country to waver, NEUTRALITY in case of a foreign war, is made a crime. Even the greatly reveered constitution is disregarded, in spirit, if NOT in letter. For in case of war, the constitution declares the president of the United States shall be commander-in-chief of the army and navy; and in time of peace, should have control over the country's international affairs. But this neutrality measure takes the latter power from the chief executive at least until the first of March 1936. For all arms shipments are to be banned absolutely during this period. ITALY may invade Ethiopia. The people of the latter nation may appeal to the civilized world for protection,' it might de velop that without guns and ammunition which only America could supply, an entire nation might be wiped out of existence, BUT, under this new law, It might be in his opinion, not necessitated by the international interest, but his hands would be This law could also prevent on foreign ships, forbid American ships to carry Munitions of war, or men even to belligerent ships at sea; in other words could force this country in case of this Italian war or any other foreign war, to keep out entirely, remain aloof completely, regardless of how subsequent developments might jeopardize national honor or security. IN our opinion, this is just another "fool law," but we are not interested so much in the propriety or impropriety of this leg islation, as in the extraordinary reversal of policy and national temper, it represents. Moreover, we do not question that this policy of absolute neutrality is as generally acceptable to the people of this coun try TODAY; as the flat refusal to consider neutrality was a decade and a half ago. Only another demonstration of how we Araerioans dote on extremes, going entirely too far in one direction, and then try ing to regain our equilibrum by going entirely too far in another 1 How Soon We Forget!

Look up the files of any newspaper and you will find an indignation meeting was held in the fair state of Iowa. The homey handed sons of toil were ready to inarch on Wall Street, and the Chicago wheat pit with pitchforks extended, and de mand they be given something better thap penury and starva tion for their labor. There was also a disposition to take any bloated bond holder or interested banker who tried to foreclose a farm mortgage for a ride. Here was the nature of the agrarian complaint. How can a farmer north, south, east, or west live when : Wheat is selling at 40 cents a bushel. Steers at $3 per cwt. Hogs at $2.94. Butter at 18 cents. Cheese at 12 cents. Cotton at five cents. Tobacco at $10, etc., etc. , Don't you remember t What would have happened at that time if someone had ascended the rostrum and announced that in another 24 mo-uns: Wheat would be selling at 90 cents. Steers at $12. Hogs at $9. Butter at 29 cents. Cheese at 17 cents. Cotton at 12 cents. Tobacco at $23. Would there have been cheers loud cheers! 1'robablv not. The speaker more likely would have been given the razberry, and chased out of town as just another city slicker, and short change artist. But that miracle HAS happened there above are the com parative prioes of 19;S3 and 1935, exceeding lOOr. But who remembers about those prices of two years ago. Very few apparently.

It has filled me with pep. For several years I have been driving a car ev erywhere and had for g o 1 1 e n how to walk. Sola tne cur recently, and have been walking across Brooklyn bridge to my office down town. Twice a day tired me. But since eating wheat I find I can walk it four times a day when circumstances permit and feel fine. Chicago reader writes: I was born and reared In Lancashire, England, by an old fashioned mother who gave us dally rations of wheat or barley, which was allowed to soak In hot milk, not boiled. For years I have been a strict vegetarian . . . and at 55 I am the wonder of the neigh borhood where I live, as I go bare headed and In shirt-sleeves winter and summer, without suffering any or tne dire consequences most peO' pie predict. Out on a farm last year I proved to two young fellows of 33 and 28 years that I could do a harder forenoon's work on a basin of wheat than they could do with their bacon and eggs, and still be fresh when they showed visible signs of being fagged. ... Before we had learned much about the lunctiona of the vitamins, Hlnd hede, famous Scandinavian physiolo gist, studied the effects on two men of a diet of whole wheat bread and oleomargarine. The men lived on this for 361 days, except during Christ mas and Whitsuntide vacations of 22 and 15 days when vegetables were added, and a period of 18 days when they had aJso strawberries and milk. The men worked part of the time In the garden, part of the time In the laboratory. They enjoyed good digestion, felt well and vigorous, and showed a positive protein . balance practically throughout the period of observation. Then when Hlndhede changed the diet from whole wheat bread to re fined white bread, the men lost strength an energy rapidly, had con stipation, headaches, dizziness and other complaints, and Hlndhede con-, eluded that the difference lay in the bran in the whole wheat the bran contains protein of high biologic value to supplement the Inferior pro tein of the kernel which Is in the, refined white flour. Hlndhede found that bran Is digested by man as I present a full repair bill (and pay for that, too). Now If he falls to pay I will have to bring action In Colueman's court; I will have to prove that this man was entirely at fault and prove the damage; then I will be given a "Judg ment" against him which will be no earthly good as the man has nothing and Coleman will take all his ready cash for court costs. Seema to me the Joke Is entirely on me. why couldn't It be made a part of the 'Tine' for the guilty party to have to take care of the repair bill also, and for him to remain under technical arrest subject to being locked up as long as the bill remain ed unpaid, or any other way that would give the actual Injured party Justice? OEO. IVERSON. Medford. August 23. "30" From WILL ROGERS (Continued from t-age One) famous short stories, by that same name. a I waa playing that summer In the Follies, and they got the "nut" idea that I could play the part. We made It while I was working In the show. It waa made at the old Ft. Lee Studios, In New Jersey Just across the river from New York City. They used to make an awful lot of pictures there. It was made for Mr. Sam Ooldwyn, who haa all these yeara remained ; the famous producer. With producers coming and going, and changing, he 1 haa held hla own right at the top. i He was my first picture bow, and we : have remained friends all theee years, j a rare combination. I learned what little I know about mining, which Is practically nothing, from that picture we made. Rex supervised the picture, and he made 'em make all the details aa to the actual mining scenes, exactly correct, "Sluice Boxes" and "Panning" the gold. Then Rex wrote all the sub- : titles, and they were "Wows." I went to the barber and got a hair cut right In the middle of the picture and like to spoiled It. I didn't know what 1 was doing, (and here I was going In one door with long hair, and coming out with a hair cut). They all like to had a fit. I think yet It was the best picture I ever made, for I hadn't learned ts try to act. There ain't nothing worse than an actor when we act. I have always had a great respect and friendship for Rex and Mrs. Beach. Rex is an unusual man. out side all this writing. He Is an author ity on a lot of things. He haa a lovely home near Sebrlng. Florida, and went to work and cleared a lot of swamp lake land and started rais ing celery on a real scientific prin ciple. He ships It to New York and it a renl Oonl Ude going concern. Now ha haa got some Honda dirt, Tin - wv, ip. j 'mi inn jkfcfmr j thoroughly as It Is by domestic ani mals. In this latter observation he flies In the face of the theoretical experts In this country who opine, without any evidence to support the notion, that bran Is Just so much foreign matter and can't be digested by man. But Hlndhede's explanation of the superior value of whole wheat Is scarcely sufficient today. From the newer knowledge of nutrition we are warranted In ascribing the superior value of whole wheat at least In large measure to the vitamins nat urally present In wheat, vitamins which, along with most of the cal cium and phosphorus and Iron, are removed by milling and refining and discarded. N I am not going to provide any symptoms here, but I wish to say that I believe it will be a bad day for the nostrum business and a great day for America when people return to just plain wheat. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Casein We bought some wallpaper from mall order house. Noticed an odor while the paper was being put on ine odor did not wear away. We wrote the firm, and they replied that the odor Iff from casein used in the paper to set the color. They said It would wear away in time. Is It harm ful? What Is casein? (Miss C. E. T.) Answer It is harmless. Casein is the curd of milk. The curd of sour milk Is called acid casein and Is used In coating paper and in printing wallpaper and various fabrics. Irradiation for Fibroid Five years ago I asked if you ad vised X-ray and radium for fibroid tumor. On your advice I took the treatment and it was perfectly suc cessful, no 111 affects, now feel as If nothing ever was wrong. (Mrs. B. O.) Answer X-ray or radium treat ment has proved adequate In a great many such cases. Fibroid tumor (doctors call It myoma). Is not malig nant tn Itself and may never cause any serious trouble, .-whether it is diagnosed or not. What, Another Doctor Book? My son derived great benefit from your Iron ration, my husband and I take a regular "nip" of lodln, and my husband has been cured of his weekly headaches with calcium lac tate . . . You should combine alt your booklets In one big book we need It In our homes . . . (Mrs. A. W. W.) Answer I may do Just that one day and come round peddling It myself. (Copyright 1935, John F.

Jt makes grass grow, people grow, chickens lay, cows give milk. It's all developed under some great land chemist, and Rex says it's a great thing. I am going to get him to ship me a car load of It to California, feed some of It to my horses and make 'em run faster, some on the alfalfa to make It grow, and another few spoons full on my Chili Con Carne.

FAIR GROUNDS MON To Sept 26-ALL STAR ACTS--26 All Under Big Tent Admission Adults Children Under 10 Years 25c EVERYBODY 4c Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS A DISPATCH from Addla Ababa, Ethiopian capital says: "Weeping aa he talked, Emperor Halle Selassie predicted to the Asso ciated Press today, in an interview, that war between Italy and Ethiopia would not only drench the two coun tries tn blood but would drag In the WHOLE WORLD." It won't drag in the United States unless there are more nlt-wtta in this country than now seems possible. STRANGEST accident of the year: A 20 -months-old baby In Sal mon, Idaho, lying In Its crib, tugged at some clothing hanging on a nail in the wall. Under the clothing was a rifle, hanging by the trigger guard from the nail. The tugging discharged the rifle, and the bullet struck the baby's 20-year-old mother, killing her instant- ASTRA? to be STRANGE and unusual aocldent. HAVE happened if the rifle hadn't been hung up LOADED. Eternal vigilance ts the price of safety where firearms are concerned. FIREARMS kill. For that reason, many sincere people believe that ownership of cer tain kinds of firearms, notably pis tols, should be forbidden. - This writer, who deplores killings as much aa anybody, can't agree with that contention. Forbidding owner ship of pistols. If It worked at all would work only with Kw-abldlng citizens and NOT with criminals, who would find some way to get posses sion of the forbidden weapons. Thus criminals would be armed and law-abiding citizens wouldn't. That could hardly be called smart. FIREARMS kill. But so do automo biles. In the average year, ac cidental deaths caused by automo biles far exceed accidental, or other, deaths caused by firearms. .We'd hardly consider forbidding ownership of automobiles because deaths result from them. IN both cases, CARELESSNESS ts the chief cause of fatal accidents. What we really need la less careless ness. FORBIDDING ownership of pistols doesn't seem to this writer the thing to do. But a pistol la about as useless as anything that can be own ed. For every tune it provides needed protection for its owner, there will be a HUNDRED times when It will get him Into trouble.

And so, I believe, will be re garded the reforms, that now causa such concern to the reactionaries of 1935." Co-operation Needed He asserted people had learned they can carry their burdens effectively "only by coopenrtlon." He added: "Let me emphasize that serious as have been the errors of unrestrained Individualism. I do not believe in abandoning the system of Individual enterprise." He then spoke of the needs of gov ernment, asserting "government to day requires higher and higher stand ards of those who would serve It." "Mere party membership and loy alty," he said, "can no longer be the exclusive test. We must be loyal not merely to persons or parties, but to the higher conceptions of ability and devotion that modern government re quires." After a final slash at the "forces of reactions and the "tories of the world." he came to the end of his ad dress with these words: "Therefore, to the American youth of all parties I submit a message of confidence unite and challenge."
