Maybe It would be a good idea lz editorial writers. In these days of In dustrial strife and rumor of war and growing uncertainty as to the future, .followed the same technique. A SOUTHERN OREGON speaker lightened bis side of a debate on the supreme court packing scheme at a Rotary club the other day with several good yarns. Here Is one of them: A Scotchman and bis wife were fishing off Catalina Island one day when a sudden storm came up, and In the ensuing disturbance of the sea the wife was washed overboard and drowned. While they were search ing for the body, a cablegram con cerning Imperative business matters arrived and the husband was forced to leave for Edinburgh. WHEN the body was found, weeks afterward, they cabled the Scotchman as follows: 'Wife's body recovered. Valuable and rare variety of starfish attached to It. Offer tlO.000 for starfish. What shall we do with bedy?" The husband replied: "Cable received. Accept $10,000 of fer for starfish. Advise throwing bait back In." RAY ANDREWS, of Botsford, Con stantino 6c Gardner, who wrote the series of advertisements of Ore gon that- are now appearing In news papers and national magazines, told this one at a gathering In Portland a few days back: A tiny service station, hot dog stand and saloon far out In the desert was run by a gentleman known as Mojave Joe. One hot day Mojave Joe felt the need for a pick-me-up, so he built himself a drink of his own Invention known as a "tall twister." It contained milk and the white of an egg and other choice In-1 gred tents and was finished off with a slug of raw liquor that would have floated a canal boat. When It was mixed, he set It on the bar while he wiped his hands. AT THIS moment a traveling preacher whose car had broken down In the desert, thus forcing him to welk out, appeared at the door. He said to Mojave Joe: "Sir, I'm footsore and weary and perishing with thirst and hunger. I've only ten cents left. Will you sell me that glass of milk for ten cents?" MOJAVE JOE looked at the tall twister. Then he looked at the alkali-dusted dominie. Then he said: "Reverend. I never charged a preacher for anything yet, and 1 won't start In now. Take It and wel come. The minister took the glass In a shaking hand. He drained It to the bottom. A smile of beotlflc satisfac tion spread over his face. He raised his eyes to the blue above. he murmureci . ANOTHER one of Ray's: An advertising man wrote to 6 friend In Oregon In the same busi ness to Inquire as to the prdspecu of a Job; He sold: "I'm a good advertising man. I write swell copy. My stuff will charm a robin out of a cherry tree. I'm a Republican. How's chances?" The friend replied: "If yon write good advertising copy you'll have no competition In Ore gon, and If you're a Republican the game laws will protect you. Better come on." L GIVE THE PLAYS AT ROGUE RIVER TR1DAY Three one-act plays by high school students of Rogue River. Phoenix and Talent, will be presented Friday night In the Rogue River high school gym. The three schools organized a cir cuit for the presentation of the plays In each of the towns. Last Fri day night they were given in Pbos nlx with Talent host on Wednesday night and Rogue River on Friday of this week. Casts of the plays are especially well chosen and student players are given on opportunity to develop dra matic ability since they concentrate on the portrayal of characters after the lines are learned, doing their parts before the public a number of times Instead of once as Is the case In most amateur productions, according to William Lee Brlcker, coach for the Rogue River play. The Junior class of Rogue River has chosen "Who Gets The Car To night," which keeps the audience In suspense end laughter. Phoenix stu dents selected the play. "How Vul gar." directed by Marjorle Goff, while Talent pupils add "The Telegram" to the program directed by Helen Hatfield. The Rogue River play was given on tho Ladles' American Legion Aux iliary program Monday evening at Grants Pass. Communications Papers' Help Appreciated.

ADD NEW STREAMLINER FOR OVERLAND ROUTE The "Forty-Niner," a new all-Pullman train of streamline design, will be added to service on the Overland Route between San Francisco and Chicago about June 15. according to Joint announcement today by the Southern Pacific.

"Heavenly father." "what a cowl" iGuutinucc rrum page One ) Important that we should achieve" a balanced budget next year, and is appealing to congress to help him Analysts generally will agree that a balance Is wholly Improbable from the figures. What Mr. Roosevelt seems to be doing now. In Its simplest terms, devoid of elusive figures, Is this: He intends to hold down expendi tures, not to cut appropriations. He Intends to block extra-budgetary ap propriations by congress this session to whatever extent he later may choose. He Is saying to congress: "You go ahead and pass the appro priation bill for next year, limited to .the amounts I told you last Janu ary, and X will try to balance the budget by spending less than you appropriate, and by picking up some money on refunds received by the government on RFC loans, etc." The whole implication clearly Is one of "spending no more than nec essary" rather than "active curtail ment." The budget Is still on the basts of "need." rather than Income. Mr. Roosevelt la taking a less seri ous view of his budgetary situation than Federal Reserve Board Chairman Eccles has taken, for Instance. All hopes of a real reduction in relief appropriations la over for another year at least. To all who are clam oring for a balance, Mr. Roosevelt Is merely saying: "Just leave It to me." Strictly under your hat, two of Mr. Roosevelt's legislative consult ants protested the tone of the mes sage to him before It was delivered. They said the relief figure was too high, that he need not spend 500. 000 .000 together with tho money he will have left over from this year. They counseled him to cut the fig ure to a flat billion Just for the sake of appearances. It would have a beneficial effect, to show be meant business. This and several other less import ant recommendations of the consult ants were turned down cold. As a result, there is likely to be an un expected and unusual Inside move ment In congress to readjust the fig ures submitted by the president In several ways. The officially whispered explana tion of the president's stand Is that he was caught between two fires The governors and the mayors out In the country have been doing everything In their power to keep the federal treasury grab-bag open for themselves. The state and city of ficials wanted 92.0000.000.000 for re lief. A small group In the house is propagandizing for $3,400,000,000, or some such sum. The president apparently decided to take the middle course again. It "Disease germs cannot survive in an environment of cleanliness, and true cleanliness is achieved most easily by the use of hot water,", say eminent health authorities. Laundry, dishes, shaving, cleaning a hundred home uses require immediate, unrestricted hot water.
