Two carloads of coal arrived via Espee freight yesterday. It will be used to repel threata of Winter, In this spsrsely wooded area. A controversy Is now raging over feeding of prisoners, between the governor and the county Judge of Marlon county In Balem, along with the discontent over the building of a board fence, with no knot-holes, to cut off the view of the people, from steam shovels excavating for tha new capltol. The Qovernor has commuted the sentences ot eight prisoners In the penitentiary, and re funded them to the Marlon county Jail, on the grounda they are not atste prisoners. The county Judge holds the opposite. The Issued should be compromised. Let the prisoners eat in the "pen." sleep In the county Jail, and spend their spare time watching the capltol site steam shovel.

(Kaleidoscope.) . dee Mall Trlbuiw w.lnt sds, Governor Landon s Predicament T1TE are frankly sorry for Qovernor Landon. We never ex " pected him to carry on a vigorous, hard hitting campaign. He is not the type. But we did expect him to-carry on a CONSISTENT and therefore in its way, a more or less effective one. ' But that ho has not done. That he should not agree with his team-mate Colonel Enox was inevitable, because he is at heart a Liberal, and his companion on the ticket, most definitely is not. This has been confusing to the people, as we .have pre viously pointed out. But it wag definitely a part of the Repub lican strategy to play both ends against the middle. ' But when the candidate of a great national party, not only fails to agree with his running mate,. but also fails to agree with HIMSELF, then certainly the situation is distressing, and calls for diagnosis and gome explanation, for such an extraordinary phenomenon. e ' IN Portland, Maine, only two weeks ago, Governor Landon before a metropolitan audience, came out strongly against what is generally called the theory of scarcity in agriculture asking, "Do we want the government forbidding us to plant what we want in our own fields t" To which of course the answer was "We. do NOT 1" But only a few days ago, before an audience of farmers in Des Moines, Iowa, he not only but also emphatically endorsed the Roosevelt soil conservation program, which is the administration's substitute for the AAA. Instead of saying he did not want the government to tell the farmer what he could,' and what he could not plant, he said he did want just that. IN that same speech in Portland, Governor Landon said, he was in favor of abundance and free enterprise, and against national planning as applied to economic problems of any kind. "Planned economy" said he, "is incompatible with the Demo cratic form of government. It' must lead to ever increasing executive authority." In Iowa be again turned a complete flip-flop, for the socallcd soil conservation program he accepted and endorsed is national planning and nothing else. Under it, if the farmer docs not follow the instructions of his government,, and withdraw bis worn out acres, from cultivation and plant some soil restoring crop, or leave them idle, he docs not get his cash benefits. TPIIE Republican platform came out for a high protective tariff. Of course it didn't use that term that, would have been poor politics. But it pledged tbe party to protect this country from the influx of ALL foreign products, which thiB country produces which IS the same thing. And it definitely stated "We will repeal the present Reciprocal Trade Agreement law." ! . , ".. . But unless our understanding of the English language is terribly at fault, at Minneapolis recently, Governor Landon said he FAVORED tho reciprocal trading agreement. Certain details like the favored nation clause, and "Yankee" methods of the present administration were at fault, but the essential idea was right, he favored it in principle and it received his endorse ment. But how about thut pledge to repeal? And didn't the Re publican candidate lay special stress in bis, acceptance speech, on the fact that the platform of his party had his complete adherence, and that a pledge to carry out its principles was inviolate or words to that effect! GOVERNOR LANDON has had much to say about growing debts, the increase of taxes, the futile attempt of the Roosevelt administration to spend itself into prosperity, the need of rigid economy, balancing the budget and the govern ment husbanding its resources just as does tho head of a family. But what did ho tell the farmers of Iowa, after accepting the soil conservation program, and endorsing crop insurance t (both of which will cost many millions of course). He said this: "This means the continuation of your crop checks"; and to the unemployed "this means the continuation of your relief checks." This doesn't sound much like paying heed to the following pledge of his own party platform: "The Democratic party hta been guilty of frightful waste and extravagance, It has destroyed the morale of many of the people and made them dependent upon the government. We pledge ourselvea to stop the folly of uncontrolled spending, to balance the budget, not by Increasing taxes, but by cutting expendi tures DRASTICALLY AND IMMEDIATELY." (The capitals are ours.) Drastically aud immediately? with crop checks, relief checks, insurance checks and all the other government ehecka con tinuing! How can that be done? fH HUM, ao it goes I Well, what are we trying to make out? that Governor Laudon is just another shifty, double crossing politician, with no real convictions, no genuine princi ples, saying one thing in one part of the country, saying the exact reverse somewhere else, willing to do anything or say anything, no matter what it is, if it proraisea to get him votes? No that isn 't our idea of the reason he is in such a tangle that he doesn't know just where he is, nor docs anyone else. . The reason, ss wo sec it, is this; Qovernor Landon is in the wrong party, and occupying the wrong place in that party. He should not be running for president on the Republican ticket) he SHOULD be running for vice-president on the Democratic ticket. He is not the natural leader, he is the natural follower) he is not the natural conservative, giving lip service to liberal principles to get votes; ho is the natural Liberal, who should be gettiug votes for his real political leader, Franklin D. Roosevelt, not playing a part, but by saying just what he thinks, and being no one but himself. Oh yes we know that's a big laugh. But to those who have seriously studied the present political situation, we don't believe it will appear as fantastic as it sounds. Briefly the idea is this, many don't realize it but two new national parties have been formed, and a rapid political realign ment is taking place. Just as thousands of Democrats have left the Democratic party, so thousands of Republicans have joined it, Roosevelt is just where he belongs, leading the new Liberal party. Landon is where he DOESN'T belong, and that is his dilemma, and may be his tragedy It ii because the internal reactionary pressure of his own party, has been something that he could not resist, that Governor Landon has followed such a conflicting and inconsistent course, and NOT that such a course is either his natural inclination or a true index of hia character endorsed the theory of scarcity, Kansas governor, nor the real i Personal Health Service By William Hlgned letters pertaining to personal health and hygiene, not to disease, diagnosis or treatment, will be answered by Or, Brady If a stamped, self-addressed envelope la enclosed.

M.D., Susan P. 8 o u thor, M. D., and M. Katber lne Gary, A.B., of the P e d latrlcn department, Valo University school of medicine, pub lished September 24, 1032, in J.A. M A., the value of salmon oil in the prevention and treatment of rickets was es taolished. The salmon oil used by these Investigat ors was prepared from waste prod ucts of the salmon canning Indus try. They found the vitamin A and vitamin D potency of salmon oil equal to or higher than that of cod liver oil. The oil from canned salmon, par ticularly the Chinook or King, the Humpback or Pink and the Sockeye or Bed was twice as rich In vitamin D as average cod liver oil. The waste from the salmon can ning process would yield a million gallons of salmon oil annually, Salmon oil could be produced at low cost. Salmon oil provides vitamin A as well as vitamin D, the vitamin A potency being approximately the same as that of cod liver oil. The fat of salmon oil la easily digested, well digested, well toler ated. Infants old enough to ait up or to stand up but not yet strong enough to do so (by reason of rick ets) gain the strength to pull them selves ,up or to stand on their feet and begin to walk In ten days or two weeks after they get a dally ration of salmon oil. Referring to the estimate that the waste from the salmon canning proc ess -would yield potent laity a million gallons of salmon oil a year, these Investigators make this significant remark: "If such a quantity of salmon oil, a source of vitamin D es yet un tapped for turn an consumption, were to be put on the market an a prop erly standardized food and supplied through the usual channels for the distribution of food, one of the great nutritional needs of infants and young children could bo more easily, and therefore more adequately, met."

The late Dr. Joseph Ooldberger, of pellagra fame, and an associate, Sur geon O. A. Wheeler of the U. S.

Canned salmon la also a good source of food lodln. Canned salmon Is good to eat. whether you call It salmon or maybe "Lobster Newburgh' or "Seafood Su preme."

Now that I am ready I can t have a baby. . (Mrs. L. F. A.) Answer In any such case the first thing to be done is to determine whether the husband is the sterile partner as he is at least SO per cent of the cases. This Is readily done by examination which any good physician can make microscopic. Only when the husband's fertility has been definitely determined, should the wife assume that she Is sterile A marriage can hardly be considered barren until three years have passed without conception.
