Buy A Turkey!
TPHE present turkey population in Jackson County it estima-
ted at 60,000. This means
man, woman and child in the county.
Because of a bumper turkey crop in Oregon and the country
at large, the turkey price has been depressed, and the maritime
strike, by shutting off boat shipments, has reduced the normal
demand.
Turkey growers in the valley, therefore, face a serious pre
dicament. Unless local consumption can be increased, many of
them stand to suffer a severe loss on their 1936 crop.
The Thanksgiving demand is fixed and can't be materially
increased. But the Chamber of Commerce has hit vpon a way
out, by instituting a series of "turkey weeks," between now
and Christmas. During this period, appeals will be made to all
and sundry, to eat as much turkey as their pocket books and
appetites allow.
The Mail Tribune regards this as a good idea, and the sooner
it is put into operation the better. For turkey feed is high, and
the longer Mr. Turk is fed, the less the net profit to the grower,
when he is finally dispatched. An immediate increase in turkey
consumption therefore, would benefit the local growers, and by
increasing their profit and putting'more money in circulation
benefit the entire community.
So we are glad to give pur endorsement to this turkey week
program. We can see nothing against such a program and every
thing for it. The Chamber of Commerce has evolved a good
thing, it is now up to the community as a whole, to get turkey
conscious and push it along,
A New Deal For Strikes
THE maritime strike has been going on for two weeks and a
half. There have been frequent reports of a settlement,
so many in fact, that no one pays any attention to them any
more. As the strike drags on and slowly spreads there is an increas
ing demand, that President Roosevelt personally intervene and
use the power of his office and his personal prestige, to enforce
peace upon the warring factions. ,
Thoso who urge such action point to T. R. 's habit of waving
the big stick, and President Cleveland's squashing of the Pull
man strike by calling out the U. S army.
It is somewhat amusing that those who lead in such a de
mand, are Those who during the recent campaign were most
seriously alarmed, by what tbey
President Cleveland's action, desirable as were its results,
was one of the most striking examples of the usurpation of pow
er and authority by the one man sitting in the White House, in
our country's history. Under the circumstances which existed
in Illinois at the time such drastio action may have been justi
fied, there was bloodshed, the U. S. mails, had been burned
but no such conditions exist anywhere in the country at present,
and if they did, a declaration of martial law, and tho calling
out of troopB by a president could by no stretch of the imagina
tion be termed in harmony, with a government of checksum!
halances and the normal American way of life.
No, we think neither T. R. and his big stock nor Grover
Clovoland and his order to the war department, should be held
up 11s precedents for President Roosevelt to follow at the pres
ont time.
W13 do. believe, however, that unless a settlement is reached
within the very near future, the poliey of watchful wait-l
ing in Washington should be dropped. It is reasonably clear the
Maritime Commission was either unprepared to handle the sit
uation, or lacked the authority to do so. From all accounts As
sistant Secretary of Labor McGrady has attacked the problem
with vigor, intelligence and admirable persistence, but again
judging by press reports, be has reached the end of his rope.
IF this is the truth of the situation then we would like to see
President Roosevelt appoint a special board of mediation,
composed of outstanding citizens of the highest reputation for
integrity and fairness, theso men to be his personal represen
tatives, with full power to net. And at the same time, if the
President would deliver to the people of the country a special
message, urging reasonableness on both sides, and a prompt
settlement of differences, for
large, we believe, such action
beneficial results.
As before stated in this column, we believe there should be
a definite national labor code drawn up, with special labor
courts, to enforce its provisions, but in lieu of such an arrange
ment, and with the strike going on day after day. it is 'our
considered judgment, the time has come to drift no longer, but
for the administration, through the President to demand from
both sides a new deal, and through it a prompt settlement.

who suffered with "dead fingers" and
who obtained much relief when she
was given hyposulphite for chronic

trouble and would be grateful for any
suggestions. . . . (M. T.)
Answer Take ten or fifteen grains
Of sodium hyposulphite (often called
thlosulphatc) dissolved In sweetened
water flavored as you like, after food,
twice dally for ten daye or two weeks.
If any benefit, a second course after
an Interval of a month.
Household Temperature
Why is it that other people's
house always seem so much warmer
than ours? The thermometer shows
no particular difference, but they
seem more comfortable somehow. . . .
(Mrs. B. K.)
Answer Perhaps a matter of hu

T. Is not as comfortable as moderate
ly moist air at 69 or 68 deijrees F.
Try humidifying the air during the
season of artificial heating, and you

Comment
of the
Day s News
By FRANK JENKINS.
IN this column a few weeks ago, Til
Glaize, who was killed In a gun
fight back In the early days of the
Harney valley country, was referred
to as a "bad man."
Limey Slsemore tells this writer
that application of the term "bad
man" to Glaize Is an Injustice.
"T is true," Llnsey says, "that Til
1 Glatze had killed a couple of men
at Dallas, In the Willamette valley,
before he came to the Burns country,
and It is also true that he was a
saloonkeeper over there. But back In
the early days saloonkeepers were
often among our most responsible
citizens, and the quarrel In which
Glaize killed these men was forced on
him, and he shot to save his own life.
"If he hadn't killed them they
would have killed him.'
A FTER the shooting In the Wll
r lamette valley. Til came to the
Harney valley, which was then a raw,
new country. He was taken on as a
hand by one of the big cattle outfits,
and a part of his Job was scaring off
settlers who were thinking of horae
steadlng range land.
"I met him shortly after I came, as
a raw youngster, to the Burns coun
try. I walked Into a saloon. Til was
lounging at the bar, standing with
his back to It and his elbows resting
on the edge. He was tall, well-built
good-looking altogether quite im
pressive. '"Have a drink?' he offered, and I
accepted.
'piaURING onstaying here, kid,
jT or getting out?' he asked,
"I looked him over. Ho had a gun
at his belt. He had a cool eye, . I
laughed. 'Well.' I said. 'I'm just a
roving buc karoo, and I can stay or X
can move on, whichever seems health
iest.' ,
"His face lit up with a grin. 'Aw,
hell,' he said. 'I didn't mean it that
way. Better stay.'
" STAYED. And I got well ac
1 quatnted with Til Glaize went
partners with him in a small way, in
a race horse.
"In the back of his mind was al
ways the thought that someone was
after him for the killing over across
the mountains. He was as cautious
as a cat. Riding the range, his eye
was always scanning tho sago brush
ridges. When another horseman ap
peared, he became nervous and watch
ful. In a room, he didn't stand with
his back to a door. Whenever and
wherever he slept, a gun was under
his pillow.
"But he was really a fine man
and he had a fine family of girls. He
had a bubbling sense of humor, and
his views were nearly always sound
and sensible. I thought a lot of him."
"rT'IL died In a gun fight again in a

The man who'd quarreled with h'rn
came In to get him. Til had to de
fend his life. The guns roared, and
when the smoke cleared away both
were dead.
"He lived In a rough country and a
rough time, and he met each situa
tion as it arose, with the promptness
that was necessary If one wanted to
go on living In those dsya.

He Is standing with his back to the

own commercial planes. Of course,
its representatives did not stress that,
but naturally played up the national
defense angle to Impress congress
men. cdngreas authorized the surveys.
The engineers are now reporting In
favor of Improvements, not only at
Midway, but at Wake. And tbey want
not only to improve the harbors but
to build seaplane basins, protective
breakwaters, etc.
The basin at Midway is to be only
eight feet deep and 1.200 feet square,
however, and could not houM enough
navy seaplanes to disturb the birds,
much leas the Japanese.
The ensuing press racket Is about
all you will hear on the Pacific isl
and mess. Certainly you will not
hear an official protest from Japan.
The Japanese are the ones who
started perfecting the "commercial
facilities" of the Pacific, especially In
Islands where there is no commerce
worth mentioning. They have dug
out all their mandated Island har
bors, not to the depth, of eight to
20 feet for seaplanes, but deep enough
for ships. Including battleships.
The next thing you know, someone
may be erecting 20-lnch guns, out
In the middle of the Pacific for the
commercial purpose of consuming
powder.
President Roosevelt 's certainly
thinking along Jeffersonlan lines re
garding his second Inaugural cere-,
mony. Someone asked him how sim
ple he Intended the simplicity of it
to be, whereupon he responded that
he did not know yet whether he would
Just "go up and hitch my auto to a
tree."
Contrary to the popular notion,
Jefferson did not hitch hJa horse to
the capltol fence. He strolled up
from bis boarding houM a few hun
dred yards away.
The conyevance may be immate
rial. He did bury government by the
colonial aristocracy forever after he
got there.
PHILIP: I could hardly wait to get back to
see you again. To be able to see you every
day, to have you beside me, in the same
office with me, seems the most important
thing in the world.
SALLY: You're my best friend, Philip. But
what you really feel for me is what I feel
for you friendship.
PHILIP: No. I know I love you.
