PROSPECTIVE FATHER IS
Conventional stories or plays Tea
turlng childbirth generally give the
expectant father a serio-comic role
If he Is to appear In the picture at
all. Such a role
may suit some
near-fathers well
enough perhaps
they are anxious
to effaoe them
selves until It
becomes manifest
whether the baby
has a transmis
sible dlseam. It
Is not at all the
role a good and
true father ac
cepts. He Just
naturally has a greater personal In
terest In the case than that.
Not that any prospective father
should attempt to remain In the
delivery room, especially If he Is
not familiar with such surround
ings. But the young man looking
forward tn the birth of his baby
should by all means accompany his
wife at least on some of her regu
lar visits to the doctor for instruc
tion and advice throughout the dura
tion of pregnancy; his place Is by
her side; his responsibility and con
cern are precisely the same as hers
It is only natural that the pros
pective father should wish to pro
vide every possible means of saving
suffering In childbirth.' In this de
sire he receives a good deal of en
couragement nowadays, what with tho
numerous methods of anesthesia or
amnesia, such as "twilight sleep." so
freely offered and so heartily com
mended by patients who survive.
Aside from the long established
good repute of ether by the open
drop method for obstetric anesthesia
we shall not give any preference here.
Scopolamine -morphine by hypodermic
Injection ("twilight sleep") Is ex
cellent as the agent of amnesia (for
getfulness, Indifference) for the
mother, but In many cases Its effect
on the child Is serious or fatal. For
Instance, Dr. W. w. Bell recently
reported his experience first with
225 cases In which scopolamine was
used, then In 316 cases In which
pentobarbital sodium was used. Scop

of amnesia (forgetfulness) and anal

Comment

THIB sometimes cynical writer
finds himself Intrigued by this
paragraph from The Dallea Chronicle:
"Tomatoes were priced at tl.25

year, at thla time, growers were
fortunate to get 50 cents a box,
and 30 centa waa a more com
mon figure."

lighted on that cheerful re
port) "Here ta PROSPERITY! Not

malady that wlthera tomato

cent of the vines have been
withered by blight. Many grow

will work on corn and wheat and
cotton and rice and potatoes and

find aueh a blight (and protect It

would seek to control It) he can

His experience convinced him that
pentobarbital sodium (a barbiturate

effective as scopolamine but la far
safer for mother and child. Of course
Lnelther pentobarbital nor phenobar

bred breeders and commercial cattle
men, plus friends of the cattle ln
duatry from a distance, Tuesday took
an Important step In the Interest of
Hereford cattle In Jackson and Sis

Thla we the most concrete out
come of a two-day. tour In these
counties, which Tuesday Included thi
eatabllshmenta' of Henry Conger ot
Medford and Frank Preaton of Jack
sonville. At Prospect the group was
the guest of NIon Tucker at lunch
eon at Rogue's Roost. Later In the
afternoon stop was made at the prop
erty of the Charley brothera of
Brownaboro, after which the caravan
moved to the Mountcrest ranch at
Hilt for dinner and to participate in
the organization meeting. Many re
mained over night, the guests of
Reginald H. Parsons and his manager,
Fred Baylies.
Purpose ot the new organization la
to knit more closely the Interests of
all breeders of Hereforda and the
users of their purebred bulla In tht
production of better range cattle, to
carry on toura as an annual evont
and to determine the date and place
of the next annual sale. Committee
In charge will be Fred Baylies. A. B.

The newly-formed organization Has
as president-manager Fred Bayllss ot
Mountcrest. Henry Conger la vice
president and Alex Levin of Flounce
Rock ranch secretary. A. B. Hoy and
Floyd Charley were added to make
up a board ot five directors.
After the formal meeung wuss
were given by Raymond Husted of
the O. M. Franklin Serum company
of Denver, a man Intimately associa
ted with Hereford development In the
west and for many years manager of
the famous Wyoming Hereford ranch
at Cheyenne: and Walter Miller of
the Western Livestock Journal, Los
Angelea, who spoke chiefly from the
standpoint of his Interest in tlie
Golden Gate International Ltvestock
Exposition at San Francisco in 1939
Other talks confirmed th action
of the group In forming the organi
zation, but perhaps the theme ol
greateat value waa the one stressed
by Fred Bayllss when he said that
the chief benefit of the move will bo
to Impress upon cattlemen of this
section of California and Oregon that
"distant fields are not nlways aa
green as they appear," but rather
that right here In these two counties
can be found Hereforda comparable
In form and breeding to those which
might be brought from distant herds.

If Douglas hadn't been shrewd, the

executives In friendly fashion. Noting

Some day perhaps I'll want to smlls
At someone dear we'll say a friend.
But could I make it worth the while
Unless I practiced time on end?
Some day perhaps I'll wan. to laugh
And dimple up as gay as gay.
At some good-natured, friendly chiff;
Perhaps return the Joke In plav.
But could I do It with a face
That's used to being cloudy quite?
I guess to get it clone with grace,
That only practice makes It right.
I'd never want a frown to crefp
Accidentally 'cross my brow,
So ever ready I must keep
Some smiles so I'll know Just how

If ever there's a gas short
age hereabouts,
Won't be due to Chevrolet
trucks on their routes !
They use less gas and
oil,
covering the ground,
Than any other make, so
owners have found !
Just one more reason why
we lead the field,
For pay load truckers want
their mileage yield!
And they want. their never
ending economy too
So now the RANCHERS buy
as fleet owners do!
