Ad vert tain Representative Closing time for Too Late to Claa mti Ada u UO p, n, Why Not Snap Out of It? WITH the weather man on his good behaviour at last, with flowers BLOOMING, and farmers PLANTING, and local business IMPROVING, . This announcement of a much needed addition to the Med ford post office to the tune of $230,000 is certainly welcome and comes at an opportune time. Why not make tho most of it I "Why not call a truce to the street corner squawking and, neighborhood anvil-pounding which has been going on for such a long time! All the wise boys say this recession is purely psychological. Well why not take thorn at their word for a change, and proceed to think better thoughts, put on a more optimistic outlook, turn up the corners of our mouths a bit more frequently. There are plenty of tangibles hereabouts to justify such a change! And no less an' authority than Shakespeare suid, there is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so. City Bus Service DO the people of Medford WANT a city bus service! If they do, they will have to give more patronage to the one now in operation or it will soon be forced to discontinue. It's entirely up to the people of this community. With no street car line, it seems to this column, that a street bus service, operating on regular schedule, day and night, is a real convenience. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating. If the people won't patronize such a bus line sufficiently to pay the cost of operation then apparently no such public service is desired. From all we can learn the present company is giving good service at a very low cost. And of late the patronage has been improving, as more people have become aware that such a line is operating, regularly. i' But the support of the service must be more general, if it is to be continued. This paper would dislike to see the bus line abandoned. But it will be, unless patronage improves. It's decidedly up to the people themselves, and particularly those who want such a service maintained. The Policy of Plenty WELL our Republican friends should be rtciigiitea.. ine Roosevelt administration hns finally adopted the policy of plenty, in one department at For mnnv months, the more istration have pontifically mmouncei! that a policy of scarcity is a policy of defeat the only way out of the present morass in to work more, and produce more, not less. Which of course is perfectly system and the law of supply and J then as every pear grower in when supply exceeds tho market lint trouble and red ink. HOWEVER the cry against the policy of scarcity "listens woll", and serves as nicely as any other brickbat, to fire at the somewhat harassed Democrats during the congressional campaign. But now to be consistent the old pachyderm's Greek chorus should halt their hymn of hate and disaster sufficiently long, to raise their laurel wreaths and give three rousing cheers for Bonnevilie dam and the Honorable J. D. Ross. For Mr. Ross has just announced the price policy for Bonne ville and it is based directly on the G.O.P.'s much cherished policy of plenty. Scoring the present practice of selling power "from the old scarcity standpoint", Mr. Ross continues in part as follows: "Our aim li not to gut as much money as we can out of tlie people, but rather to slvo them aa much as we can tor their money. One o( the purposes of the Bonneville Project la to eatabllah the fair coat of electricity, and to end the practice of charging all that the market will bear. Bonneville Dam the Columbia river nowa steadily westward to the aea. Day and night It produce, electricity as the w:iter passes through the penstocks. We must use that power as It Is produced or It Is lost torevur. So I have suggested selling electricity to cities and districts and companies on the basis of the kilowatt-year. Pay so much per klllowatt-year. Take all or any ot the 8760 kilowatt-hours during the twelve month period. The price will be the same." "Cltlea buying power by the "kilowatt-year" naturally will aet th'lr rates so a to encourage tamlllea to uso power all day long. Instead ot Just having a few lights burning In the eve ning. It will be economical to w the power all through the day: for refrigeration, cooking, water-heating, aa well as for off-peak house heating. Irrigation, commercial, and Industrial use. Every ejtra kllowatt-hcur used means Increased leisure or additional Income to men and women ot the northwest." Now isn't that just dandy t But somehow we don't expect to see the delegates at. the next Republican convention get up on their hind legs, and make the rafters ring with their praises of the "policy ot plenty" where the sale of electricity is concerned.

MILK IS TUB B The dally requirement of calcium for the average adult, aa estimated by Rose, Sherman and other authori ties on nutrition la approximately the amount one gets in a pint of milk. An optimal Intako would be the amount In not less than a quart of milk a day. A pint of milk contains ap proximately 7A grains of calcium and 0 grains of phosphorus. The famoua Weir Mitchell "rest cure" for "neurasthenia" or "ner vous prostration" so popular with the newrlch and the nearrlch when you and I were young, Maggie, con sisted mainly of (1) getting away from It all for a while and (2) a milk and egg diet. Egg yolk is even richer than milk In calcium and phosphorus. A remedy for "weak nerves" achieved tremendous popularity 20 or 30 years ago. thanks to the testi monials of college professors, cler gymen, lawyer and other brainy suckers, and faded from the scene after a cynical Investigator exposed It as composed principally of "glori fied cottage cheese." Any kind of cheese, casein, the curd part of the milk, is the richest of all staple foods In calcium and phosphorus. Whey, itself contain four-fifths aa murh cn!clum as tho curd does. . It Is well recognized today that the ordinary diet of Americans Is more often deficient In calcium than in any other chemical element One of the chief functions of cal cium Is to control nerve and muscle Irritability. This Is well recognised in pnyslology. So my advice to the "nervous" I. Take not less than a quart of milk dally or its equivalent in milk products cottage cheese, any kind of cheese, skim milk, buttermilk, custards. Ice cream, cream, butter, sour milk, curds or whey and va rious flavored beverages consisting chiefly of milk. 3.

On upper Broadway there la the Marie An toinette hotel, which was named for that unhappy queen. A few strides away Is the Dauphin, On other hotel repre- a e n t 1 n g tho crown prince or heir to the throne. And down In the village, ut 9th street on University Place, la the Hotel La fayette, commemorating "the eager boy" who crossed the seas to help Washington against the British. The tall fliiuro of Lafayette moves like a futile ghoat ncross the Inst days of Mnrle Antoinette's reign. He want ed the revolution, although he re mained, in a sense, loyal to the queen and her royal consort. He makes a dramatic entranco on hor.eback, at tempting to turn the tide- after the Paris mobs have been unfettered. But hla plans go haywire he makes a few fumbling gestures and gains noth ing, not even a nod from the doomed queen who has grown to despise htm. Tlie palace at Versailles where Louie and Toluette held court has It Man hattan counterpart In an East Side nightclub. Its walls are adorned with murals which depict the royal gar dens and the gaming rooms where "that Austrian woman" dallied with the "friend" who were first to de sert her when the showdown came. It was there thftt tho fatal Incident of the diamond necklace took place; there her children were born, and there he met the two people whom, respectively, she lovod and despised more than any she ever knew. These were person, the Pwfde. the onlv man who ever won her heart, and Madame Dubarry, whom she characterized a llksplttle and refused to addrci. If Stefan Zwelg nover wrote anoth er book he would deserve a place in letters for hi tremendously moving biography of one he calls "An average woman. And now Hollywood steps in with the sad, wistful beauty of Norma Shearer In the title role.

(Jpj J D Ross, Bonneville dam administrator, formally announced yesterday that power would, be sold on a kilowatt year basis, a unit system new to the United States but successfully tried In Ontario, Canada. Ross said rates for a kilowatt year to the public utility district or pri vate utility company which purchases Bonneville power retail consumers cannot purchase direct would be i announced soon by the federal power , commission at Washington. i The kilowatt year sales unit is based ' entirely on the cost of production and Is an attempt to leave present practices of selling power "from the I old scarcity standpoint," Ross de- j clared. "Consumers now pay for millions of kilowatt hours of electricity that they do not use," he added. I Uoe Mali Tribune Want Ads.

According to persons close to Mr. Jones, the clause In the bill was phrased so broadly be cause the R.F.C. plana to start a program of loans to utilities oper ating companies. This Idea, long agi tated aa a part of a utilities truce, Is warmly favored by many who hope for business stimulation from utili ties construction work. Hitherto, no effort has been made to put It Into effect, but now Mr. Jones is prepar ing to do so. The truce between the adminis tration and the public utilities de pends largely on the negotiations between the Tennessee valley author ity and the Commonwealth and Southern company. If some utilitar ian modus vlvendl can be reached In the Tennessee valley, utilities men all over the country will perk up and breathe more easily. And now the chances of a settle ment In the Tennessee valley have Improved at least 100 percent. The negotiations between the TV A and the Commonwealth and Southern concern the purchase by the TVA of Commonwealth and Southern's valley properties. Through David E. LlllenthaL the TVA offered, when tho negotiations began a month ago to buy the properties piece-meal. On behalf of the Commonwealth and Southern. Wendell L. Wlllkle made a counter-suggestion that the TVA purchase the common stock of tho most Important properties. Negotiations were then temporar ily halted while Independent auditors valued the properties. The TVA peo ple went home to ponder the Wlllkle suegestlon. They soon decided that the idea of purchasing common stock wo extremely repulsive to them. Moreover, they interpreted the Wlllkle suggestion as a demand. Recently, a Philadelphia Invest ment banker, personally Interested In the utilities problem, saw a friend of Mr. Lllienthal's. He said that a utilities truce meant much to him. and that a settlement In the Ten nessee valley would usher In the truce. He asked what the obstacle to settlement was. After Inquiring of Mr. LUlenthal. the friend report ed that the obstacle was Mr. Wlllkie's "demand" that the TVA purchase the common stock of his valley properties. The Investment banker hurried to New York, called on Mr. Wlllkle and asked why he was Insisting partlc ularly on the purchase of his prop erties common stock. Mr. Wlllkle replied that, while the TVA people and the public might believe his original suggestion was a demand, they were completely wrong. He ex plained that he thought a transfer of common stock was the simplest solution of the problem, but that he was perfectly willing to accept a fair price for the Tennessee valley DOLLAR DAY SPECIALS Order Your Awning Before the Rush , Medford Tent and Awning Works 314 East Main, F.

But when Mr. Ullenthal and Mr. Wlllkle - foregather again, three weeks from I I now, a chief point of disagreement moy be eliminated from tneir agcm. And with it gone, a deal should be eusler. A small and friendly clique of economists, in the federal reserve board, labor and agriculture depart ment.

In fact, the nation has been attempting to deal with depressions and booma without really knowing anything about them. This situation drives economist all over the country to the brink of madness. Therefore, the WhJto House feet men drew up their scheme for a bureau of Industrial economics to collect inventory fig ures, measure consumer buying power, and do all the other things for industry that the bureau of ag ricultural economics does for agri culture.
