never know how despondent I was
when I crawled Into bed and sent
for a doctor. And the doctor never

"TJm, yes, we had better operate Im

straighten teeth at any age In early

dontia, and the dentor who does
such work la an orthodontist. Some

Is there any help for bow legs at
the age of 30? The legs are bowed
below the knees. (Mrs. R. S C.)

Comment
on the
Day s News
By FRANK JENKINS
EVERY effort ought to be made to
get to the bottom of this story
(which so far Is vague and Indefi
nite) about the disappearance of W.
E. Steffen, secretary of the restau
rant employes' union at Grants Pass.
TIERS are ugly intimations that
Steffen waa kidnaped by Grants
Pass business men and run out of
town and told that It wouldn't be
safe for blm to ccme back. "
The whole tale, as these words are
written, Is sadly lacking In corrobo
rative details, but the implication Is
that Steffen was unionizing the res
taurant workers and that employers
didn't like It and resorted to direct
action. .
These intimations and Implications
ought to be traced down and either
verified or definitely disproved.
IN THE relatione, between employes
and employers, . there la no place
for violence or for disregard fof law.
If we tolerate these things, wa are
heading straight for trouble, and the
trouble will AFFECT EVERYBODY.
THIS Grants Pass episode, whatever
It Is, has disturbing possibilities
in the way of arousing ill will. It
should be Investigated, thoroughly,
completely and IMPARTIALLY.
If Steffen really was kidnaped and
told to get out of town and warned
not to come back, the self-appointed
vigilantes who did It should be run
down and made to feel the stern
hand of the law.
We want noni of that sort of thing

Communications
Mr. Hall Comments
To the Editor:
I brand aa a falsehood tbe rumor
that I was offering the ridiculous low
price of $17.80 for Bartletts.
The true facts are that I received
a telegram from A certain cannery in
San Francisco that they were buying
Bartletts there at the above price.
Which can be verified by the West
ern Union. Upon Investigation from
another cannery I found that very
few peara had been sold at that price
which were of a bad lot.
I have had Yalclma prices to offer
at all times and have refused to offer
that prlc.
My prices this season will be tha
same as other canneries offer, and
my growers are generally one hun
dred percent satisfied. I have noth
ing to do whatever In regard to what
the price of Bartletts will be. My
own Individual opinion I may ex
press as many others do. I still be
lieve that tha northern canneries are
not going to buy aa heavy a tonnage
as usual out of southern Oregon, and
the price of Bartletts will be set by
California canneries, and much less
tonnage will be bought up this sea
son. The price will depend upon tha
stiffness of the esstern market, new
orders coming In and deterioration
and quick closing ot California Bart
letts. In closing I feel sure that my
friends and growers have confidence
In me, and pay no attention to a
false rumor. COURT HALL.
