Greetings to Mr. Hoover
TlHY all this secrecy and mystery regarding the visit of
" former President Hoover to Medford t
For a number of days now the Mail Tribune his been trying
to get some detailed information concerning the great occasion,
with but little success.
It is not often Medford has the honor of entertaining a
former President of the United States, and yet at the present
writing, this column doesn't know whether the ONLY
FORMER occupant of the White House, now living, is actually
to be in our midst tonight or not.
Some local dignitaries say he is, some say he isn't. At press
time, however, the likelihood appeared to be he will be here
Borne time tonight, and have a meeting with representatives of
the Republican organization in this section of the state, to
which the press is NOT invited.
Well that's O.K., not inviting the press to a star chamber
session of the G.O.P. organization, we mean. And we can
quite understand Mr. Hoover's desire not to have any chamber
of commerce parades put on in his honor, or any fishing excur
sions with a candid camera accompaniment.
OUT a" th8' could have been announced in the press, some
time ago, and the wishes of our former President would
have been respected. We still fail to see the need of treating
the entire matter as if , upon the 11th hour, no one really knew
anything about it, and if they did to let it out above a whisper,
might lead to an eruption of Roxy Anne or an armed uprising
of the proletariat!
Although not admitted to this party conference, we trust
it will not be considered an impertinence if we suggest that
before 'drawing up their program for the ensuing campaign
tonight the G.O.P. strategists carefully study the speech recently
made by Congressman Bruce Barton in Indiana.
We quote an extract:
"After every Democratic depression In the past, they have
celled us back. The Democrats have proved again and again
that they can conceive high Ideals and enact far-reaching re
forms. They have proved, perhaps, that they have more Ideas
than we have.
"Bryan had more Ideas than McKlnley. Deba had more Ideas
than Theodore Roosevelt. Franklin Roosevelt has more Ideas
thsn Coolldge had. They have Ideas, but they do not seem to
be able to make. the Ideas work. They can enact reforms, but
they cannot give Joba. . . .
"We did not repeal the reforms of Cleveland. We put people -back
to work.
"We did not repeal the reforma of Wilson. But we put
people bock to work.
"WE WILL NOT REPEAL THE REFORMS OP THE NEW
DEAL. BUT WE WILL PUT PEOPLE BACK TO WORK."
Of Franklin Roosevelt's great personal popularity among
Negroes, the poor and the underprivileged, Bruce Barton cried:
"The fact remalna that thla mass feeling towsrd the President
Is the controlling political Influence of our day. TO IGNORE
IT IS BLINDNESS, to INVEIGH AGAINST IT IS POLITICAL
INSANITY. The Intelligent attitude Is to admire It, covet It
and aet Induatrlously and sincerely to work to deserve It."
That speech, particularly the last two paragraphs, might
make Bruce Barton, President, or at least the next Republican
candidate. In this column's judgment it is the most INTELLI
GENT "key note" that has come from the G.O.P. directorate
sinco President Roosevelt was inaugurated 1 1
Good Ne ws to the Valley
THE great advantage of a beet-seed crop,, is the certain cash
return. The grower knows when he plants the crop, what
he will get per pound when he harvests it, which is true of
precious few land crops in this day and age I
It is, therefore, great news, when Professor Rcimer of the
Talent Experiment station announces that, not only is the Rogue
River valley peculiarly well adapted by soil and climate for
the growing of sugar beet seed, but local growers can no doubt
secure contracts in 1938 for 300 acres, which should net in the
neighborhood of $200 per acre, an exceedingly p.ttractive
profit, as farm prices are at present.
. A siigarjbeet-sped "field day" will be held at the Experiment
station at 2 p. m. Friday, when Professor Reimer will explain
the details of the mntter, show the experimental plot the station
has developed, and answer any questions advanced.
NEEDLESS TO SAY THERE SHOULD BE A RECORD-
BREAKING ATTENDANCE AT THIS MEETING.
TPIIK proof of the pudding is in the catiug. Professor Reimer
has shown what can be done, in the way of sugar beet
seed culture, under local climatic and soil conditions, the yield
at the station being truly tremendous.
One thing is certnin. If the venture proves as profitable
and successful as advance notices indicate, it is to be hoped
there won't be a stampede on all sides to grow beet seed, to
the exclusion of other crops, which of course would lead to
certain disaster. '
Let the prospective grower learn all about the proposition
first. Then let him only grow seed for which he can secure a
definite contract, from a responsible buyer.
If some such plan were adopted and followed out, and the
present prospects ARE realized, then Jackson county will have
something it greatly needs, a new crop to supplement those
already grown, operated on a PERMANENT, income-bearing
basis. '

PLEASE EXCUSE THE INADVERTENCE
A reader who calli himself a "per
ennial peruser" of thla column took
time out from hla profeaalonal work
the other day
to expreaa hla
appreciation. He
aald that If ev
erybody followed
the admonitions
given In thU
column, there
would be far less
work in tt'.e re-
stor a 1 1 v e den
tistry field for
him to do. He
thinks too many
re ad era .who
never trouble to say what they think
are like the hog In the orchard gob
bling whatever fruit he finds on the
ground without ever looking up to
see wt iene It came.
Recently, I said here. In reference
to the prevention of malaria:
It la possible to prevent the
breeding of mosquitoes of all breeds,
whether of the malaria-carrying
breed or othera, by keeping prenv
tsea clear of old cans, bottles or
other trash which may hold water
long enough for mosquitoes
breed In It (ten days to two weeks);
by keeping eaves and ralnspouts un
obstructed, by screening cisterns,
open wells, garden pools, rain bar
rels and other receptacles or tanks
holding water (against access of the
female mosquito seeking quiet water
to deposit her eggs); by planting
minnows in ponds, pools and streams
whoso borders or shores are weed
grown and more or less stagnant;
by draining . . .
Here Is where I became a little
to Intent on my pursuit of the
quarry . . .
by draining marshes and
swampa; and finally by spraying oil
on the surface of any stagnant
water."
Considering the space available
and the Intelligence of general read
ers in respect to the subject, I preen
ed myself In the belief that I had
disseminated some gocd c.calth Information.
But not for long. Within a week j
came this admonition, which I con
sider too good to omit:
We are dismayed that you advo
cated drainage of marshes aa a
means of mosquito control. As a con
servationist of health you should
not fall so short of being a con
servationist of -our most endangered
and Important natural water table,
which la Irreparably lowered by the
drainage of marshland. Hi Is probably
contributed to the havoc wrought
by dust storms In recent years to
gether with the denuding of hill
sides. Not even If trees are planted
to stop soil erosion their survival
la dubious because of the lowered
water table.
Why not advocate more natural
mosquito control, by the Introduc
tion of fish of species that live on
mosquito larvae? Better still, pro
vide nesting facilities for Insecti
vorous birds In mosquito-Infested
areas. A colony house on a pipe (cat
guard) for purple martin 16 pair
consume over 125.000 mosquitoes
each a day. Or similar houses fir
tree-swallows around ponds they
live on mosquitoes, we have tried
this with success, here In Wisconsin.
Of course everybody wants mos
quitoes exterminated as nearly aa
possible, whether malaria-carrying
mosquitoes, or just plain pests with
or wltohut sound effects.
' However, the exception taken by
Mrs. L. A. H. seems fundamentally
sound and we thank her for calling
the nodding conductor to time about
It.

are pretty interesting people.
"Oetigger, the gcsolnts gealnch

it Is not neceesary to use that ex

Mrs. Cameron offered:
'The thills and the sticks heard

Well. Cab Calloway decided to do
something about it. Cab Is a "hep
cat." And a hep cat Is one who
is in the know, a thoroughly wise
jruy. and cao reasoned: -wrj-w i
ought to spread the gospel of our
Jive . . . Maybe I ought to wise up
everybody, so they can understand
what we are talking about . . . But
how ll I do It? . . . You can't Just

You can't Just tell It ... So I
think I'll edit me a dictionary . . .

Curiously enough there la no Jive
for swing music, but If you are a
swing fan you are an "alligator."
. . . A "blip buddy ghee with his

knows what It's all about.
And that brings me back to where
I was In the first place in a quan
dary . . Even after using Cab's
book as a shoehorn I can't get my
boots on ... I still don't know
wha. It's all about.
Shortly thereafter a neat little
brochure entitled "Cab Calloway's
Cat-ologue" was deposited on your
correspondent's desk. And It's quite
cat. Here are some of the weird
me'ows of the Harlem Jive:
"That canary la beat to my eocks"

QPEED la still the goal of areonaut-
leal progress.
Seeking speed and still more speed,
planes are now climbing up Into the
stratosphere, which Is the lighter air
found at elevations of five or six
piles. In this lighter air, less re
sistance la encountered anda much
higher speeds are possible.
The first step toward conquering
the stratosphere was the variable
pitch propellor, making possible a
deeper "bite" in order to wke ad
vantage of the power of the engine.
The next step was the supercharged
motor and the air-tight body, which
make? possible normal air pressure
for pilot and passengers.

IT NOW seems probable that by
climbing Into the stratosphere, bad
weather can be largely avoided and
bad weather Is stilt the airship's
greatest menace. It Is not yet pos
sible to forecast accurately the speeds
that may be possible once tne prob
lems of the stratosphere are solved.
11THILE speed Is the present goal
" of aeronautical progress safety
and low cost are the ultimate goals.

la Happy's motto. There has even
been unkind talk that fish from
the state hatchery are sometimes
consumed at Chandler fish -fries.
Moreover, Happy Is a man of many
devices. A rather .Important politi
cal group In the state are the 1500
dispensers of hard liquors, and the
3000 eellers of beers and wines. For
these, Happy has thoughtfully pro
vided a 40-day license extension,
which puts the deadline less than
a week after primary day. The word
Is that the whisky and beer sellers
have had the sense to take the hint.
And then there are the old-age
pensioners. - The federal managers
are shaking their heads in sorrow
at the thought of the social security
act which gives the states the power
to administer the old age pension
system. Happy's men do the work.
Recently they have added great num

SPEED DIFFERENTIAL
FOR DAY AND NIGHT
IS URGED FOR AUTOS
WASHINGTON. July 18. (JP)
Traffic experts considered the advis
ability today of asking tho states to
let motorists drive 10 miles an hour
fester In daytime than at night.
The differential was advocated at
the National Conference on Street
and Highway Safety by S. J. Wil
liams of the National Safety Coun
ell.
He proposed a daytime maximum
of 55 miles an hour for most states
and 60 miles an hour for prairie
states, where flat, sparsely settled
areas make higher speed safer.
The conference was attended by
