The offense occurred at Jenny Creek Springs last Saturday. The arrest waa ma-.e 07 the forest service. The forest service announced that owing to the dangerous condition no- prevailing in the timber, a close wach was maintained for offenders against forest and fire regulations. A stranger leaped upon a workman In Mallnes, Belgium, bit off th tip of the man's nose, and fled. A Neighbor HPHE Bandon catastrophe comes pretty close home. It-has al- wayi been a favorite summer resort, with Medforditeg j owned cottaees alons the shore, many have spent their summers there; we could young men and winsome sub-debs, who got tneir aquatic prow ess, Bnd their pink cheeks, as babies, along that picturesque beach of rocks and sand. And now it's hard to realize Bandon is no more. Forest fires swept by a high wind, practically wiped the little town out, last Saturday night in the space of a few hours. Not only was' the property damage appalling, many lost everything they own but the final death list will probably reach a score. As usual when sudden and unexpected tragedy devastates a community in this country, the Red Cross is the first to re spond. But the Bed Cross is not equipped to meet such a major disaster, adequately without financial aid, and a call for such aid has been sent out, throughout the state and up and down the coast. THIS call should be met with a ready and hearty response from Medford and undoubtedly will. Contributions may be sent to the local Bed Cross headquarters in the court house, or to any of the city banks. And the sooner they are made, the less delay there will be in extending needed relief, preventing suffering, and in many cases no doubt sickness and death. Now is the time for those who can make generous contribu tions to give all they can afford. And those not in a position to give much, to give what they can. . . , . Life is terribly uncertain, it seems particularly uncertain in this disturbed and harassed world at the present time. No com munity can know when like a bolt from the blue, its day of catastrophe, will come. ' list-over the mountains, a neighboring town, is nothing but a heap of ashes and burning embers. It is certainly an oppor tunity to prove Medford is a good neighbor, and make a prac tical application of the Golden Rule. Rabid Partisanship and Votes THERE are some things we would like to know but probably never will. To-wit: How many votes are actually MADE by political speeches? If, there were no political speeches, over the radio or elsewhere, would the result in November be materially different, from what it will be with themt W have our own idea, what is yours! The same with newspaper editorials. How many votes are changed by the editorializing of the partisan press, we mean the consistent ardent and confirmed partisans, those that, are today and always have been merely mouthpieces for their re spcltive parties.' If the truth could be known we have an idea it would be startling and not particularly flattering to the newspapers con cerned. For we believe, in hearing political opinions, either from candidates for publio office, who are obviously self-interested, or reading them in newspapers which are branded with a cer tain political label for LIFE, the people, invariably, conscious ly or subconsciously, consider the source. They don't take such statements at thoir face value. they are in doubt as to'how they will vote, they are eager not for partisan opinions, but information, and information from an unbiased and disinterested source. WHEN a Republican orator, however, says somathiug favor ' iMa annul. t.h nnnnsitinn or vica versa: when a dved in the wool journalistic supporter for Roosevelt, says something uiee about Landon (or Hgnin vice versa) we believe tho voters who arc not set in their opinions, and therefore arc the -only voters who can be influenced, one way1 or the other, immediate ly sit up and take notice. ' ' A case in point is the Kansas City Star, one of the best news papers in the country, not. only enthusiastically for Landon, but largely 'responsible for the discovery and nomination of the Kriisbs Governor, as the Republican presidential candidate. , As David Lawrence recently pointed out, the Kansas City Star did not agree with its own candidate, when recently in Minneapolis he criticized the Roosevelt tariff policies, with par ticular refereuce to Secretary Hull's reciprocity agreemeutB. We quote: "Of course, tbe agreements are not perfect. Legitimate criti cism may be urged against certain details of the methods em ployed. But by end large, the adoption 01 the Hull policy seems to this newspaper one or the really constructive achievements of .: the New Deal. "Governor landon urged some valid objections against the pres ent method of negotiating the agreements and putting them Into effoct. But imperfect as theso methods are, they are In finitely better than the scandalous log-rolling of a general tar iff revision by congress and there la every reason to believe that apeclflo reciprocal treaties or agreements aubmltted to the senste or to congress would be murdered by highly organlxed . pressure groups. "Other factors, aa well aa tariffs, affect foreign trade, aa Oovernor Landon pointed out exchange restrictions, quotas. . the ending of political uncertainties, a general revival of pros perity. Currency atahiliratlon la Important. "The problem must be attacked on many fronts. But as far . as tariffs are concerned, the Hull procedure, In tha star's opin-, Ion. Is tha one effective method so far proposed to get th de alred results." Now we maintain, a statement like that, coming from a strong supporter of the Republican candidate, is purely from a political vote-getting standpoint EXTREMELY important. It hag inevitably a genuine constructive and far-reaching effect, whereas the orthodox, table-thumping partisan speech has not. For considering the source, every one knows nt once, that the opinion can have no partisan basis, in fact exactly the re verse. It must be the result of careful study and the strongest possible conviction on the part of the Kausas City Star, or it would never make such a statement, favorable to the opposing candidate. That is the sort of thing the truly independent voter wants. Not. that such a declaration would necessarily change his vote, but it would form a basis for a change, because it would be an opinion he would be strongly inclined to accept. If he were in doubt regarding the Roosevelt tariff policies. with one side claiming it was all to the good and the other side claiming the precise ' reverse; such a commendation from such a source would go far in convincing him-the Democratic side was right. And that, as far as voters are concerned is what counts, and about all that counts. Needs Help! name several of our strapping It is natural thoy shouldn't.

Take my advice or the advice of Mrs. Sumsey or Sairey gamp If you pre fer. The first doe of physic you give the baby, under any cir cumstance. Is the beginning of all the trouble you will have from then on. There simply Isn't any kind of laxative, physic, cathartic or "aid" you can Inflict on your baby which la without a bad. after-effect bind ing. Castor oil la particularly harm ful la that respect. In practice cas tor oil Is used only la the treatment of diarrhea, because by Its action It presumably expels or sweeps out of fending material and then locks the bowel for a while. But that la not the main, reason why the sane parent will carefully avoid resorting to castor oil or other physic without definite or specific prescription by the physician. There would be no harm In locking up the bowel for a day or two or for several days, no dire poisoning or autoin toxication or other evil consequence But the administration of any such medicine to a young infant seriously upsets the natural physiological auto matic regulation of the digestion In the whole, length of the digestive tract and makes the establishment of physic habit easy. Here la the way most victims of "constipation" get that way. If the baby's food la too weak, too much water and not enough nutrl- ttve material (fat, carbohydrate, pro-, teld) of course there will be a costive state. If the baby does not get enough vitamin B, as already explained In these harangues about the baby busi ness, of course all the digestive proc esses will be weak and Inefficient.

There was vivid recollection of real life tri umph and tragedy of the stage when they- burled the t ol y - poly and cherubic N 1 k lta B a 1 1 e f f. of the famed Cbture Souris, in Belas co's ' tomb some weeks ago. The chief mourner was right fully Morris Oest, who discovered him In a dark Moscow cellar Balleff was atlll performing in a cellar a glided grill on Central Park South when stricken. He had but one trick. That was his strutting exploitation of "The March of the Wooden Soidlere." A tune that sets feet atlngle wherever heard. And Balteff made the most of It. He paraded It In New York more than a year, then In every large city In America and across the European continent and back several times. He hsd at one time a fortune of S500.000 In safety box cash. But eventually his wooden soldiers became worn out toya. And Balleff a Pagllacct. Like many Improvident Idealists, ha thought success would go on for ever. He lived on a grand scale, charming host to Russian refugees , and titled pick-thanks. Always good for a touch, this bland, smiling little man. But not many came to blm in his hour of dolor. And there was scant comment on another figure in the Broadway the ater world who passed from ithe scene at tne same time aa Balleff.

Calif. w all make having said the thing he goes on to say it again and again. We who write are wont to repeat and thus evirate the edge of bright expression. Rare Indeed the writer who "bits and runs." Booth Tarking too is about the only one who ssys It and never refers to It again. Newspaper fellows show a better- than-average knowledge of English, naturally. But V dont know that they ought to upbraid others for being less proficient. To many edu cated people, approximate sounds and constructions are considered near enough, and In matters others than English such persons may express in tellectual virtues In which newspaper men are sadly lax. The other day a great scientist on the air said ePOCKAU for EPochal. A fellow in our berg excused himself from a dance with a young lady one night, saying his collar waa "Irrigating" his neck. Invariably he said "comic" for "comet'.' He became a State's attor ney. A Malaproplsh attitude may merely mean the offender does not think it worth while to dig out the exactitudes. Few actors can fool around with in difference to audiences Noel Coward accomplishes It to a degree. Lou Holts at times has an Irritating non chalance. The Barrymores Ethel and John expressed a hoity-toity. But Lionel, more unbending, has endured longer and Is far the more popular of the Royal Family. In the old Win ter Oerden days there was an outfit eager to please Jolson, Florence Moore, Oeorge Munro and Harry rox. Yet among them was a performer with xteme diffidence. I refer to Meivuie Ellis.

Comment of the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS THIS headline, long expected, final ly flares from the front page: "France Devalues Currency." Thus the last Important stronghold of tbe old gold standard surrenders. TWO questions, at this point, arise In our minds: 1. Why did France so long resist devaluation of her currency? 2. Why did she finally surrender? HERE Is the" answer to question No. 1: France, at the time a John Lew and his Mississippi Bubble, SUF FERED TERRIBLY from currency de basement, which is another name for inflation both meaning reduction of the value of money. France's fingers were burned so frightfully In this and other experi ments with currency devaluation that she has stood out stubbornly against the world-wide tendency toward tin kering with the value of money. AND here Is the answer to question No. 3: In a world that haa gone over largely to soft money, France suf fered more severely than she could stand for sticking to hard money. WHEN you sell to another country, you know, you don't get paid In YOUR OWN MONEY. You take your pay in the money of the country to which you sell, and you then turn around and with this money you buy your own money with which to pay your bills at home. If your own money costs you too much, you LOSE In the transaction. That is what has been happening to France. YOU have read in the papers that France's devaluation of her cur rency will probably help to stabilize world trade, and thus will be bene ficial to the world as a whole. Immediately you ask: "Why Is that?" WELL. It's something like this: Devalued currency Is essen tially similar to WATERED milk. If everybody Is watering his milk EX ACTLY the same, tbe dairy business can go forward on a fairly stable basis, for buyers will know what they are getting. But If one fellow puts a pint of water In each gallon of milk and another puts In a quart while still another sells HONEST MILK Just as it comes from the cow, there will be a confusion In tbe dairy business and trade will suffer. That, In effect, Is the condition that haa existed In world trade. One nation has watered lta money a little. another has watered It more, while France (and a few minor nations, such as Holland and Switzerland) has been putting In no water at all. The result haa been confusion In international money values, and this confusion haa hindered world trade. FOR some time past, you see, the world has been exchanging milk watered In varying degrees. Including that from France which hasn't been watered at all. But now France de cides to WATER HER MILK In about the same proportion as others. That is about all there Is to It, and the result (oddly enough) Is ex pected to be beneficial to world trade through removing some of the con fusion that has existed. . Communications ThoM pioneer Records. To the Editor: I want to say a few words in re gard to tha claim that was made at tha pioneer reunion that Nick Arm strong was the first white boy born In Jacksonville and gives as his date of birth the 20th day of February, 1SC3. Now It la a well-known fact that there were three white boys born in Jacksonville In 1852. namely. Jim McCully. Bruce Evans and Wal ter Gore, and If any doubt this they may go to lasle McCully that grand old lady, who la probably the oldeat native daughter In this county at the present time, and she will show them the record and prove that Jim Mc Cully was born on the 37th day of August, 1852, and explain how the mistake was made In the figures on his tombstone. Then go to the Gore family and they will give you the correct age of Walter Gore, who was born December 13, 1853. In Jacksonville. 1 met Bruce Evans in October, 1873, and be said he was born In July, 1853. but 1 am not sure that he said Jacksonville, but he did say In tha Rogue river valley. Now I will say that twin Butler and X ara the two oldest na tive sons In Jacsson county, and 1 am not going to give the date of our births as it would give a lot of fel lows a chance to bob up and say they were bora 10 or 15 years before we were. Now. In conclusion. I defy anyone In this county to prove that the statement I have made are not correct. JOHN B. ORlFTtN. Medford, September 38.

Representative Ekwall In an address Monday night before the Oregon Pur chasing Agents' society, said. Closing tun for Too Lata to CUss sifj Ads it 1 :S0 p. m. (Continued rrom page Ona.) home. A presidential campaign Is under way here. The French could not possibly rate the agreement too hlga to suit Mr. Morgenthau. As far as he la concerned, they can call it the step which saved the world from collapse, and give him credit for It. If the stenographic notes on the three weeks of advance . dickering were known, you would have bet ter understanding of . Mr. Morgen thau's sigh of relief In announcing that the gentlemen were still gen tlemen 34 hour after the agreement wa.. reached. Money manipulating la a rough game, and the negotiations wert not anything like parches!. For example the insiders say Brit ain held out until the last two days. She was very reluctant to go into anything that would keep stoning at its pegged relationship with the dollar. Frsnklv, the British assert the dollar la undervalued. If Britain could have jiggered us Into an ugree ment not to devalue further, she could nave let the pound and franc sag together and reaped a strong ad vantage. Not only would the British trade have been benefited, but they would have been In a better bargain ing position when the serious ar rangements' for permanent stabiliza tion begin. (A slightly cheaper pound permits nations to buy British goods at a discount below American goods). More than a suspicion exists that Mr. Morgenthau brought the British around running, by a neat little maneuver. It Is said he withdrew support from the tottering franc and lelt the British treasury holding a, sack full which had been purchased pending some agreement. Whether or not this la accurate, It will afford you an accurate Insight Into the dlflcu.tles ahead In working out a stabilization agreement which wilt be fair and final. The final voiding of the no thx oat-cutting agreement had been finally reached. The British prime minister had okayed It. So had the president of France. But Mr. Roose velt was at Hyde Park still studying the deft wording of it. Into Treasury Secretary Morgen thau 's oflce came a representative of the French embassy, excited as only a Frenchman can be when a bargain la nearlng an end. He was out of breath and gasped something sub stantially as follows: "Mr. secretary, I have received a cablegram from my government. It says It is getting late in Paris It Is now after eleven o clock there and the president of France Is Urea He wishes to go to bed." Oenlal Mr. Morgenthau agreed this was a rather crave matter. He sent a short message' to Hyde Park on his private wire, saying the French pres ident was tired and wished to go to bed. He asked for Instructions. President Roosevelt promptly ap proved the draft of the anno.nce ment and sen I along, among other suggestions, his best official wtshes to ihe president of France for a good night's aleep.
