' Roseburg, Ore., Sept. 39, 1038 "Editor News-Review: Having read many articles, written by men and women pertaining to wild life. I think the one I have read In .today's paper In regards to defending the skunk beats them all. I am not aura If ths writer Is quoting her own knowledge or Ding Darling's or The Parmer's Bulletin No. IS .8 But X do wish to quote some knowledge of my own In regards to the skunk. This spring the skunks at over one hundred turkey eggs for us, also seventy duck eggs and eight chicken hena and fggs, also several ducks .for neighbors. ' As for our wild life, such as our quail, pheasants, wild ducks, turkeys, grouse and wood pheasants, the skunk la their worat enemy. The skunk hunta at night robbing Bests and getting the young, aa well as the egg. Aa for the little civet oat nature provided him with claws, as well as small In structure so he oan climb. Be not only feeds on th, blrda that neat on tha ground but goes aloft to the nest. Aa for the skunk eating the In sect nothing can compete with our bird life. 8o X feel aafe la saying ths skunk la ths greatest sxtermlnator of our bird life. And I am sure all will continue to kill them. We have killed over 30 thla spring.' Yours for more wild life and leas skunks. DANIEL BOONE," NAZI OCCUPATION OF SUDETEN AREA ONLY ISSUE LEFT i (Continues, trum Fags One.) which ths question of life or death for mllltona hangs, would be fin ished tonight. (In London the Ceechoslovak lega tion announced new concessions by Prague, Including an offer to evacu ate by October 31 regions In ques tion, but Prague also demanded that before evacuation the new frontiers of the republic must be definitely fixed.) While the German chancellor and the premiers of Britain. France and Italy atlll were negotiating In the glistening fuehrerhaus at 8:10 p.m.. (11:10 a.m.. PSTJ the apokesman said only one difficulty remained: "The question of Just how qulrkly and from what pomt the Crecho alovak army must be withdrawn to permit Adolf Hitler's troops to march Into the Sudetenl'ind." Sign Tomorrow The spokesman said he believed documents embracing agreementa which he expe'.'teti to be reached to night would be signed tomoirow at the Isteat. Thla indicated the hope ths Prague government, to which the virtual asreement of Hitler. Prime Minister Chamberl'tln, Premier Daladler and Premier Mutaollnl was to be sub mitted, might send an acceptance tonight. The four government heads hsd brzun their second session of the day at 4:45 p.m. (7:4J a.m.. PST). P-n:1'.rr they had been In conference for two hours, and during a two. hour auspenslon members nf both tre German and British delegations .(pressed confidence of an early ngreemen . Near tlnlth Meeting against ths background O 6gNw$papnWb(i World Peace Wins T this writing it looks like an extended breathing spell for which let us all be duly thankful. Regardless of what the final settlement may be, this much is certain, the STRONGEST SINGLE EMOTION IN THE WORLD TODAY and the most universal is the desire for peace and the hatred, of war. We are still a long way warless world, but this crisis strated, that the overwhelming machinery by which it may perfected. And as was remarked in this there is a will there is a way, really WANTS war, the chances are in some way war CAN be avoided. CO unless all signs fail, one greatest victory for world tian civilization. The League that prompeted it, has won an The world powers, particularly this country, refused to work together EFFECTIVELY for peace, through a formal official organization; but they have not refused when the supreme moment came, to work together UNOFFICIALLY for peace, and it is this effort that has, prevented a war that would undoubtedly have destroyed Euro pean civilization. And that precedent is extremely important, in preventing future wars. For when "ol debbil" Mars, rears up his ugly face again, the world wide reaction will be: "Well, we pre' vented war in September 1938, why can't we prevent it now!' AND this column is optimistic prevented. We don't mean Ethiopia, or Spain or South which practically all the world Not only the conscience, but of the world is uncompromisingly against such a method of senseless and criminal self-destruction. And in spite of our dictators and totalitarian despotisms, that is what in the last analysis There is reason to believe in ple that Hitler and Mussolini be confined to Czechoslovakia, not. only because the former coveted that countries rich resources, but because ALL dicta tors find war, or threats of war, of their despotisms. But thanks to the immediate uprising and opposition of public opinion, of world opinion, backed up by force,on the part of some find at Icnst the moral condensation and opposi tion of ALL. These two dictators, tough as they are DIDN'T DARE1 Outrageous if True 'TMIli terms of the pence settlement( not officially confirmed) which have just como over the wire, however, appear terri bly unfair to Czechoslovakia. Germany not only gets the but occupies it with her army, as Hitler demanded day after tomorrow. Also as he demanded, plebiscites are ty be held by the Hungarian and Polish minorities. If they also vote for secession, then practically speaking the dismemberment of this little country will be complete, isolated Czech "grease spot" I THE one redeeming feature is further prrif nrinl rlntnmirln (how about colonics!) and his powers, England, France and of the portion of Czechoslovakia, This seems like a torrible self respecting and unoffending could blnme the Czechoslovak violent protest. For the plain truth is (at will not need to uphold the independence of Czechoslovakia, or continue her armed conquest further, with the country dis membered Germany occupying its strategic gateway, what Czech government would dare disregard Der Feuhrer's slightest wishes I But the official terms of course may be something different, again. Sprague Makes Good IT is unfortunate that Charles for Governor, opened his campaign over the radio, on a night when practically every one was turning the dial for the latest war reports from Europe. As a result, the speech, which was an excellent one, did not make the impression it should have made, and was not heard by as many people, as should have heard it. However if, as now appears likely, the crisis abroad is over and normalcy soon will reign, Mr. Sprague will undoubtedly give many speeches equally good, over the air, and they will receive the careful attention they deserve. We haven't the space to go into the matter in any detail at the present time, but we will say this: Ever since his victory at the Primaries, Mr. Sprague has been growing in stature, showing not only by what he says the ideas he expresses, but by his manner and approach, and type of character lie reveals, that he is supremely well fitted for the job he seeks. The policy he emphasizes is the kind of sane, level-headed business administration this state needs, a policy of special favors for tunic a square deal for nil, and the end of what the success of his opponent ' would render certain, minority rule, internal kiokering, endless strife and turmoil! More power to your liimyx, Charles! of a Europe still hurrying war prep arations and with the question of life or death for millions hanging on their decision, the four con ntuied their diaciwlnns into Uie nint.

Trie p ma jority of letters from readers do per tain to personal health or hygiene and the only ethics that governs my reply to a query that Involves health or happiness Is the. Injunction of Hippocrates who said In effect Do Good If You Can But Do No Harm. Then a handful of letters In each mall bag are of the argumentative sort. Frequently they are earnest endeavors of followers of thla or that cult or system of healing to show me the error of my way or of believers In the efficacy of some strange remedy or treatment to convince me that I should recom mend It. At first flush It might seem tiresome reading, yet I find the most of these argumentative let ters Interesting enough unless they are too Insistent on having a reply. An answer to such a letter la a de bate, and I do not choose to run either Into or away from a debate with Tom. Dick and Hairy. Neverthe less. I do try to answer a good many argumentative letters when the courtesy Is -Indicated by that which the correspondent says , or I read between the lines. Theso letters, by their manner constantly suggest two types of phy sicians: Professor Palaver and Doctor Curt. Professor Palavar sets his course and conducts himself In all circum stances on the belief that the In telligent layman wants to know the what, why and wherefore of what ever the physician's examination elicit and whatever advice or treat ment the physician gives. Accord ingly the Professor takes great pains. and a good deal of time, to ex plain everything to his patients In language he thinks they can under stand. Many of his patients enjoy this Immensely: Indeed It Is human nature to enjoy an occasional chat about one's organs, functions and Man About Manhattan By GEOKOb l'LCKEU NEW YORK The style forum for men this fall was like seeing whole pages of Esquire magazine come to life.

He believes that the less the patient knowa about pathology and medicines the better for all con cerned. He never discusses whya and wherefores with a patient. He makes his diagnosis, keeps It to himself, offers only a chary light on It If pressed for his opinion, prescribes the treatment, and dismisses the patient with a precise time set for the jiext visit. Dr. Curt gets over a lot of ground. Somehow his firm way of handling patients appeals to a great many who consider It an in dex of the man's professional skill and ability. Aa I see It, Dr. Curt generally has a larger and more lu crative practice than Professor Pal aver has. After all, people have faith In the healer who tells 'em nothing and treat 'era rough.

(I didn't think this tip myself; they told me It indicates thla.) v I learned a lot of other things, and I had a good time. Most of the people I aaw were merchants from various sections of the nation, get ting an eyeful of what they'll have to sell for a while. I also saw a lot of rash Ion thieves. They're artists making hurried sketches of the new styles which they will speed along to their employer. Some of them perpetrate their artistic thefts fur tively, while others boldly stand there ; and take notes. Nobody said any- ! thing about It. though several times I thought I saw a few dork looks. Style thieves are one of the mils- ; anees you Just have to expect. j The Capital Parade (Continued from Page One ) Even so, their guesses are Interest- ! lng. Their first, and surest, is that ' the greatest German weakness lies in metals. In the laat war, the retch j had possession of the Iron mines of Alsace Lorraine. Now, hitter must de pend almost exclusively on imported Iron, ohlefly from Sweden and Spain. Some addition to the Qerman Iron store was made when Austria be came Ostmark, and Iron resources would also be increased by the cap ture of the Sudeten-Deutsch area of Czechoslovakia. Nevertheless, the iron weakness will remain serious. Offsetting this vital blank spot In the German resources is the vast sup ply of Iron which has been Imported In the last two years. The customs figures show record shipments, and It Is' thought they have been dew- 6TH AND FIE tored to conceal the true extent of the Importation. Huge Imports of oil and rubber have also been made, but tbeae are less significant than Iron, since the Oermon synthetic rubber substitute haa been found to be good, and the motor fuel substitute Is be lieved to be fairly adequate. While It is well established that the rubber substitute is auccesful, thla question of the synthetic ma terials is one of the biggest elements In the German mystery. Besides rub ber and motor fuel, there has been a tremendous increase in the use of synthetic plasters, textiles, and even foods. Only the future can show whether they are good enough to car ry the nation through the strain of a war, , Food, particularly, Is a pressing problem, and food supply la likely to prove a German weakness. Germany has always had trouble feeding her own population, and the difficulty has been Immensely Increased by the effort to Impose self-containment on the German economy. In self-containment's Interest, much former food-producing land has been turned over to the production of wool and hides, which means. In a nation that Is farmed down to the laat amble square Inch, that the basic food sup ply la proportionately reduced. So much for the weaknesses. Curi ously enough, it la the experts' con clusion that the German ecsnomy Is now experiencing a boom. While gold reserves have dropped to the vanish ing point, national Income has risen In surprising fashion, from slightly less than 47,000,000,000 retchsmarks in 1933 to 68,500,000,000 relchsmarks last year. Debt has also lncreasd j tremendously, but unemployment has disappeared. There la an actual labor 1 shortage, and Industry Is working full time. If official figures are to be trusted, saving bank deposits have even Increased, although the standard of living has dropped. And thus the experts' final guess la In the form of a question. Is the German economy already running at top speed, or can the peace be quick ened lor war? The tragic thing is that r-he question can only be an swered only by a world disaster. Comment on the Days News By FRANK JENKINS OVER the heads of the German people, to whom he was saving: "Just depend on me, and I'll get you everything you want," Hitler was speaking on Monday to Britain. Prance and Russia as well. In effect, although not In these words, he said to them: "Why should you go to war for Czechoslovakia? After I've gobbled the Czechs, I'M THROUGH. I want nothing olse. But I'm going to take that' much. Why should you get yourselves Into a costly war Just for a few million Czechs? If you stay out, you'll be doing the smart thing." ORITAIN, Prance and Russia llsten ed and, of course, new what he was saying, and why he was say ing It. But almost before Hitler fin ished speaking Britain, the spokes man, made this answer: 'If you Invade Czechoslovakia, Brit ain, Prance and Russia will FIGHT on the side of the Czechs." ilf SPORT OXFORDS Priced 1 Ladies' Coats HATS Cotton dresses .

It sounds suspiciously like calling Hitler's bluff If It Is a bluff. HITLER was also talking to Mus solini. He PRAISED him. He praised him effusively. In the lan guage of the American streets, he "laid tt on thick." It was almost as If he were suspicious of his Italian ally, who once before deserted Ger many and might do It again. It sounded as If he might be say ing to himself: "This fellow haa so far been getting a rather small share of the swag. Ethiopia, la worthless, and Spain isn't much better. He might be getting a little restless, rd better flatter him for all I'm worth." He did a good Job of flattery. But was saying to Mussolini: "Stick by me, and you'll wear diamonds. Throw me over and you'll sleep In the street." REMEMBER, the poker game Isn't yet played out. It looked, when Britain and France put the pressure on Czechoslovakia to yield Sudeten land, as If It might be. But the Czechs have become warlike. They have ap parently said to themselves: "We're doomed anyway, and might as well die fighting as to die In a trap." If they decide to die fighting, It LOOKS as If war Is Inevitable.
