All of the kids have written let ters to Santa Claus, giving an In ventory of what they want tor Christmas. Many of the Juvenile ras cals can't read their own writing, but expect Banta Claus to. e e Elmer Chlldere, the carpenter loot an overcoat Thurs. eve, as did dock Coe, while attending the Elks' fes tivities, whlc hkept the Elks' cat awake until 4:30 a.m. There Is no c'ue to the culprit, or culprit. e e e Quite a number of folks feel hot, snd then cold, and are weak In the knees, and think they have la grippe.

They are using the old system of getting down the floor as fast as possible, and getting as many bas kets as possible. e e Dewey Hill of Prospect, the rugged hillbilly, towned Thurs., seeing about three ribs Injured, when he lost an argument with a buzz-saw. Mr. HIM was considerably put out to think he had been licked by a buss-saw, even If It was an old one, see The first Tuletlde cussedness was the theft of a Salvation Army col lection box some time FY1, eve. when nobody wag looking. e e The new John D. service station Is now ready for bis, after enlarge ment, etc. It Is modern and nifty, and would be a credit to a vacant lot In a city the etze of Portland, e s The hands at the postofftce have been knee deep In Christmas mall all week, and too busy to take chew of tobacco. I ,ee The weather the end of the week j was everything anybody could ask j for. It la not known who asked ' for It. see The rank and file, and old and young, are still aa enthusiastic about slot machines as they were chain- letters a year ago. Roy Ashpole of Eagle Pt. hu re covered from a trip to the hospital, and has fattened up a lot.

He is the first resident of Jackson county ever to go to Salem without being elected, or dratwed by the sheriff. 103fl auto licenses nnd calendars are enjoying considerable demand. Borah for President SO Senator "Barkis" Borah is willin'. He isn't seeking the Republican nomination exactly, but if friends of his in Wisconsin and elsewhere want him to be a can didate, he will "cooperate." In the opinion of this paper, Senator Borah is the strongest candidate the Republicans could nominate. He is more capable and experienced than Governor Landon of Kansas; he is more liberal than Knox or Vandenberg; and he is more statesmanlike and courageous than ANY of them. Borah is also absolutely honest, incorrputible, and one of the best impromptu debaters and political campaigners in the coun try today. As far as foreign affairs are concerned he is prob ably the best informed man in public life. And unless all signs fail, foreign affairs promise to be of more importance during the next administration than' at any time, since the world war. . N fact, as we see it, Borah has only one serious defect, as far as his qualifications for the presidency are concerned. That is temperament. , ' The senator from Idaho is temperamentally speaking an incorrigible prima donna. He instinctively revolts against any thing but the stellar role. If he can't be the prima donna of the majority he insists upon being tbe prima donna of the minority if need be a minority of just one. And as it is extremely difficult to be the prima donna of an administration, where someone else sits in the White House, Senator Borah has for the past 20 or 25 years been a thorn in the flesh of all ad ministrations, Republican or'Democratio. It hasn't been, as sometimes maintained, just plain cussed ness, nor the lone wolf complex, nor claustraphobia, the fear of crowds. In fact the senator from Idaho likes crowds if they are HIS crowds. But he can't abide crowds that belong to someone else. . ' It is in short just egotism, flavored by personal, vanity and a very acute sense of self importance. Senator Borah would so much rather be the leader of the brass band in Boise, Idaho, than play second fiddle in the Philadelphia Philharmonic A N unfortunate trait from the standpoint of the government, " when Borah is out of it, but not so unfortunate perhaps when, in case of his election, he would be in it, in fact the 'whole thing. .'... "President William E. Borah," yes that would look well in print, the man.would physically answer the requirements of the part, and he would from the outset know what it was all about. That passion to hop,' skip 'and jump for the limelight would no longer bother him because he would be in it all the time, up to the eyebrows.' His ego would riot only be satisfied, it would be saturated., In' other words the peculiar tempera ment that, has worked against his success as a senator, and a lender in the Republican party, would be no such obstacle iu the White House. But How would tbe senator from Idaho,' as president, ever get along with the congress, and particularly a democratic con gress. For that matter how will ANT Republican president get along with a Democratic congress, yet for two years after the election at least a Democratio congress it will be. But particu larly Borah who relatively speaking has never been able to get along with anyone. Tea, that's the fly in the ointment. But then we can't expect perfection. And temperament aside, there is no doubt in our mind that William E. Borah of Idaho, is better qualified for the presidency, than any other member of his party, who has been mentioned up to the present time. , Personal Health Service By William Brady. M D.

Especially If one haa tramepd them a long stretch In quest of a Job. Too, that atufflly Im prisoned feeling we acquire, pen ned in by stone, steel and marble. And tbe way faces grow fllnt Uy hard aa tho honed on flag stone. I know a high ly geared Indus trialist who flees the turmoil every spring. Back to his prairie town. At daylight each morning he aneake out to walk bare foot through the dewy grass on his mother's lawn. The feel of damp soli restores much of his sanity and a modicum of faith. A Urge slice of Ne York's mas Jitters. I Imagine, la tae Itch of bare toes for the trickle of cool sand on the beaches, for a deep breath of un tainted air from a sylvan glade. Or to sink over the boot-tops in a swift ly cool mountain stream with a fighting fish on the end of the Ho, And to continue a rural rhapsody: To scout through the brush and kick up a cotton-tail out of an ant-laden rotting log. Or loaf through the brown hills with a bird dog running forward, dropping back, pointing. Or sleep on the sidewalk, swapping sighs with a sturdy oak. Where stars gTow friendly. The mall brings a cascade of cusa lees exclamations since recalling the "Snarlfrocket" of a character in our town aa a choice and unprofane ex plettve. X like txwt "Helvetia crlspal" It should satisfy the urge of the moat calloused cuMor. And Is purely scien tific, being the name of a harmless mushroom sprouting In the Lorenzo Valley In California. Zu Hitchcock initiated me Into the savories of Armenian cooking several years ao and now and again I have yen for such a meal. The Armenian Are U seldom crowded, never showy, preserve more than the majority the "foreign atmrahere" and ts reasonably tariffed. It offers for sturdy trenchermen, such palate - provoking yum yuma aa lamb and tomato chunks skewered on a spike; lamb brains dipped In egg and fried In butter; beans stewed with veget ables, cooked In olive oil and served cold; rice and chipped onions wrap ped In grape vine leaves: squash stuffed with highly spiced chopped meats and native bread cooked In honey with a layer of a velvety am brosial white paste. The waiters are Inclined to stifle a yawn when asked for Turkish coffee: It baa become a thread-bura gag. Like asking a tall man: "How's the weather up there?" Somehow I think of Chatham Square aa the scene of '"! rVs on the Barroom Floor." There's a cor ner awing door spot In the area that suggests: "It was a balmy summer evening and a goodly crowd waa there; that well nigh filled Joe's bar-room on the corner of the square.' I drop ped in a recent evening with a prowling companion, A few bar files burzed at wet-ringed tables. But "no goodly crowd waa there." My friend ordered a beer. I asked for a charge of mineral water. "Oettlng tough, eh?" observed the barman. I roared. Indeed any time a Bowery barkeeper waxea facetious I'll laugh, ho. ho. my fool bead off. January or July, when I say molas ses I mean molasses and not the sul phurous stuff they palm off on you If you look like that kind of cus tomer. In f 1 a t o r alone, If there were not another reason, real old fashioned molas ses Is so far from the modern Imi tation that It seems absurd to call tbe latter mot asses at all. Children Who are compelled to eat spinach because spinach Is rich In Iron and calcium will welcome the assurance, which I am happy to give, the old fashioned molasses la three tlmea aa rich In Iron and twice as rich In calcium aa the finest spinach you ever pushed down your esopha gus. Molasses In January, February and March la aa wholesome, appetizing, digestible and nutritious as It la a April, May and June Children or adulta who get lota of exercise In dally play or at work, should have a liberal ration of sugar, and there is no more desirable form of sugar frr human nutrition than good old fash ioned sulphur free molasses. Sulphur dlovlde (sulphurous add) Is pre&ent In the modern concoction sold aa "molasses", because this chemical la added In the process of manufacturing sugar to bleach the naturally golden brown sugar. Most customers, badly educated, want only colorless or white sugar. This abnor mal taste or demand spoils a lot of molasses. Fortunately the delicious old fashioned molasses la still pro duced here and there. In the old fashioned way, that Is, by boiling down the sugar cane In open kettles. Some one noticed that chemical analyses of crude brown sugar and refined white sugar Indicate that the crude brown sugar contains many tlmea more calcium than refined white sugar, and Jumped to the un scientific conclusion that every one should consume crude brown sugar exclusively because most people do not get enough calcium. It may be true that most people do not get enough calcium In the ordinary diet of refined foods, but the amount even in sugar cane Itself would be Insignificant compared with the amount of calcium one gets In a small piece of cheese or a glass of milk or a dtah of beans or a few pea nuts or some cabbage. Personally, I should not choose crude brown or raw refined brown sugar In prefer ence to refined white sugar unless I lilted tho tests of It better. Old fashioned molasses Is true cane syrup, made by boiling the Juice of sugar cane in open kettle until the proper consistency la reached pre cisely as maple syrup Is made from the juice or sap. This cane syrup as wholesome and healthful as It Is palatable and attractlve.-and Is justly growing In popularity among dis criminating housekeepers. As a table syrup It Is Ideal. From the nutri tional viewpoint this open XettVe cane syrup or 'old fashioned molasses meets every requirement of a sugar or sweet in the diet of Infant, grow ing child or adult.

Ind., Presi dent Roosevelt proclaims "the Immi nent return of buoyant, happy life." That la to say, he expresses the belief that the time Is near when the mists of gloom that have enveloped us for the past four or five years will roll away and people will again be happy and prosperous and satisfied. THAT Is a flne'hope, and this In significant writer shares It but believes that when the mists of gloom roll away and people again become happy and prosperous It will be be cause of hard work, straight think ing, careful planning and willingness to sacrifice the less Important for the more Important. Happiness and prosperity have to be EARNED. They can't be gained merely by passing a law. To Officers' School. SALEM, Dec. 21. (AP) Captain James A.
