Needless to say, the result the welfare of this section of the state, and everyone in it. The rear crop is a perishable crop. It must be picked within a certain limited period, and either shipped to market, or placed in cold storage. ANY portion of the crop not taken from the treea during this limited period, will be a total loss, a loss not only to the owner of the crop, but a loss to those who would normally be engaged in picking and packing it, transporting it, and furnishing materials for placing it in the hands of the consumer. I.e. a loss to BOTH local capital and LABOR, alike. WE believe we are merely expressing the overwhelming sentiment of this community, when we state, there is determination, ON ALL' SIDES, to see this year's crop is har vested without interference or But because of the widespread labor unrest throughout the country; the tidal wave of unionization; the conflict between the A. F. L and C. I. 0., etc., etc., etc., there has been and is today, a strong under current of fear, that this won't be done. Some even believe there will be trouble, perhaps serious trouble, and at the present writing are rapidly approaching an acute state of the jitters. THIS paper can see no cause for any such alarm. And our advice to those thus afflicted, is to snap out of it and forget it. Getting unduly excited, at this stage of the game, would merely invite the condition, that everyone wishes to avoid. Even if some of the fears entertained are justified the more SERIOUS tho crisis, the GREATER the need for cool heads, wise counsel, sane and restrained leadership. There is no proper place for hysteria in the local picture, from any standpoint. In fact, as we' view the situation there 'is only one real danger in the entire situation, and that rather a remote one. To-wit: the importation of radical agitators, to raise trouble on behalf of the communist wing of the C. I. 0. FAR be it from us, to join in the red-baiting, "witch-hunting'' nonsense of certain reactionary elements in this country. We have only contempt for those who try to injure the cause of organized lnbor by maintaining that its leadership is inspired by Moscow, or that John L. Lewis is in realty a Bolshevik in disguise, and his lieutenants, talje their orders from the Kremlin. This is merely hokum stupid and vicious hokum. But we DO know and every there is a small group of avowed Communists, boring from within,, in a deliberate effort to secure the overthrow of this government. And a large proportion of them, (some say most of them) arc using the C. T. 0. as a smoke screen to advance their cause, and achieve their purpose, which is a dictatorship of the proletariat. "TIIEY care nothing about helping the working man in this country. In fact, the more dissatisfied and resentful the Amerioan workman is, the better the Communist likes it. For that propares the seed bed, for his heart's desire, a revolution by violence. So they gravitate, to scenes of labor conflict as naturally as vultures gravitate to battle fields, and for the same purpose. If there are none near at hand, they, do all they can to. make them. .The perishable fruit centers, where time is the essence, and serious trouble may not only impair the crops, but destroy them, are among their favorite scenes of action. For the emer gency gives them a heavy club to swing and do they SWING itl YES this represents a danger, a real danger but as we viato it fliA rmlv rlnno-flr. TherA la nnthincr pIra in the picture, that represents even remotely a problem that can't be amicably solved, to the satisfaction of all concerned. Local labor is organizing. legal. A large number of farmers and fruit growers have also organized, that is their right also, and for the same reasons. One group has just as much interest in the successful har vesting and marketing of this year's pear crop as the other. Such an outcome, not only during harvest time but throughout the year means more money for them both. . And more money for everyone in the entire community also. SO as above stated there is no cloud on the local horizon, but this red cloud. And that isn't as big as a camel, nor as red as the ws.ttles of a turkey cock. We grant however it SHOULD BE WATCHED I And this goes particularly for the workers themselves. For they have as much, or more, to fear, from Communist agitation than anyone else. And they will be the ones upon whom the Bolos will concentrate, from the outset. SO watch out boys and girls. Don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes, but if their eyes turn red, then give them a loud and raucous horse laugh. For we don't want any more trouble makers and verbal dynamiters in this community. We have had enough of that too much in fact. We have our troubles, of course. Every community has. We have differences of opinion regarding this that and the other thing. Even' community has. But we can settle these thinss, peacefully and satisfactorily ourselves thank you, and don't need any professional hellraiser from Communist headquarters or ANYWHERE ELSE to tell us how to do ill L SALtTM.

Loss of appetite, that is for proper food, Is one characteristic feature or sgymptom of multiple neuritis, whether It be oriental polyneuritis (beriberi) or dampbool Yankee alco holic neuritis. Both maladies are due to prolonged extreme shortage of vitamin B. Thla fact Is slowly per meating the medical mind there are still many physicians here In Amer- cla who scarcely comprehend that so called alcoholic neuritis Is a nutri tional deficiency and calls for all the vitamin B the victim can take In any form or manner. Twenty per cent of all cases of poly-neurltls, accord ing to Vorhaus (Dig. Dla. and Nutr. 3, .816, '37), have Intensification or aggravation of neuritis pain a few days after vitamin B treatment be gins lasting for nearly a week, before the steady Improvement becomes evi dent. Zn all neuritis cases it Is well to remember this. If Increased Intake of vitamins and minerals, or Just vitamins, restores lost appetite or Improves poor appe tite, as It does In beriberi, alcoholic neuritis and many vague cases of "below-par" condition, how can the same treatment curb excessive or ab normal appetite of craving for food? That Is the question propounded by a good many critics who speak first and think afterward If at all. These half-Informed skeptics remind us of the birds who argue: "If drafts don't cause pneumonia how do you account ror the many narrow escapes my Aunt Ophelia bad from catching her death that way?" A similar sophomorlc question was propounded by the brass surgeon when the mass administration of lodln was Introduced In the preven tion of goitre.

Prsnk- Sul livan, the humorist, has spent most of his adult , yeArs shadow boxing with a neurosis that prevented him from riding In trains. He was all right motor ing but the mo ment he boarded a choo-choo he began to tremble Into a connip tion that sug gested a conges tive chill. He made sev eral courageous trie, but always has to race for the platform Just aa the engine started. He tested his knee Jerks with lead ing psychiatrists and all pronounced him as physically sound aa the pro verbial dollar that Is as sound aa It used to be. One specialist flnslly persuaded him to accompany htm on a trip to Baltimore. Sullivan boarded the train, held to hla sest, gritted his teeth, closed hla eyes and was soon rolling across the green countryside and grinning sheepishly. He had crossed the mental Rubicon.

Sleep As You Like It Have always slept without a pillow, but now everything seems to whirl around even with the pillow under my head and when I lie on left side. Is this what any woman should ex pect at a certain time In life? (A. R.) Answer. Nonsense. Your pillow, your age and the position In which you sleep have nothing to do with It.

Co mm ent on the Day Is News By FRANK JENKINS CHARLES P. KETTERING, aa noted V In thla column Friday predict that automobile will change as much In ths next 38 yeara aa they have changed the past 38. But he doesn't predict HOW they will change. "The automobile Industry," he says," has never been able to predict what It will offer to tba public two yeara In advance. If we knew what the car of 10 or 38 yeara hence waa going to look like, we would be building It now." HE doea think, however, that en gine are likely to be moved from the front to the rear, as that will provide better visibility which will In turn tend to promote safety. Engines In tha rear, be says, will also help to eliminate noise, heat and smell, and will allow lower floor boards. Ths trouble 1 thai If cars are to drive easily and ssfely weight must be distributed equslly on front and rear wheels. If thla la to be accomplished, engines must be brought down to about half their present weight. , ROADS, according to Mr, Kettering, are tremendously Important to the future development of the auto mobile. He doesnt think people are going to atand for lower speeds, and he fears that devices such aa mechanical governors will add to danger more than lessen It. If you ever had to "atep on It" to get out of a tight place, you will know what he means. Roads, he thinks will, hsve to be wider and atralghter, and In the cities better arrangements for parking will have to be made. CITIES, Mr. Kettering believes, will have to "spread out." He foresees the possibility of "ribbon" cities that is, an almost continuous popu lation on both aldea of great trunk hlghwaya. He thinks Industry la going to spread out Into the country, as work men of the future will find It possible to live as much aa 80 miles from their Jobs. - ILLUMINATION will slso be an Im portant problem of the future, as night driving la already three or four times aa hazardous aa driving In day light hours. Great trunk hlghwaya between large cities will be artificially Illuminated, but for most of our night driving for a long time to come we will have to depend on Illumination from the cars themselves, as at present. Car lighting, however, la capable of great Improvement from the stand point of safety. ONI auggestton, he ssys. Is equip ping sll cars with headllghtsj capable of producing a beam of either of two colors, and providing wind shield, with screens of the same col ors. Cars traveling north and east, for example, might be required to use blue lights and blue 'screens. Cars traveling south and west would use (say) orange-red lights and screens. Thus the screens on each car would filter out the light from the ap proaching car and the driver would see only his own lights on the road ahead of him. THE Importance of all these prob lems may be understood In the light of Mr. Kettering's prediction that In the next 38 yeara we shall have to provide roads for at least 80 per cent more cars than we now hsve. If that la true, we're a long way from through with highway building. OF NAVAL SHIPS WASHINOTON. July 31.

(Fy- The Eve ning Standard, Independent newspa per owned by Lord Beaverbrook, at tached the Oxford movement today aa "exhibitionist" and called upon churches to discourage it. Citing recent criticism of the relig ious group. Including that of Mar garet Rawllngs, actress, wbo called It "shocking," the newspaper said the movement should be halted. "Its methods open the door to an exhibitionist tendency which Is harm ful both to the Individual and to the true cause of religion. '"The time has come when the churches should speak frankly to their followers about buchmanlsm, making it clear they have no hope of Its val ue and frown upon its practice. The groups are not connected with Oxford university, nor are they In any sense expressive of the English atti tude to religion." Pointing out that the movement began in the United States, the Stan dard said the group's appeal Is "to a higher social class than the old American religious revivals and by reason of their polish the the methods of the groups are all the more dangerous." 4- (Continued itom Page One ) During this period Mr. Jones be come fast friends with John Lewis.
