Comment
on the
Day s News
By IBANK JENKINS
SMART public speakers learn the
trtck of putting their audiences
in a good humor by telling funny
stories at the right time, thus re
lieving the tension of serious sub
jects.
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."

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.

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. For personal comfort, too what
can surpass a hot bath to ease sore muscles, relax taut nerves and give
that feeling of well-being which is the essence of health?
