one thing every traveller learns, no matter how Btronif an
immunity he may have built up against his local germs, when
he goes afield, he has to prepare for a different brand, with
new tricks for attack. The experience is another reminder of
youth for the Middle West brand is quite different from that
of the Coast. But it's not the kind of reminder one relishes.
Give us the Coast breed every time.
At the Mid-Day club, before internment, were surprised
to find the sentiment so strong against President Roosevelt's
"cash and carry plan." At our table, at least, the count was
8 to 5 against it. Everywhere else we have been the sentiment
has been strong the other way. Our next chair neighbor ex
plained it by the Chicago Tribune which is fighting the "cash
and carry plan" as bitterly as it fought the League of Nations
and with much the same reasoning. That may have had some
thing to do with it but after listening to the arguments we
decided the fundamental cause was Roosevelt, a majority
of the Mid-Day club would be against anything the President
was for.
Main Street "ain't what she used to be." Once upon a
time it wns the Euclid Avenue of Rockford, but now, like the
Cleveland thoroughfare, it's a first rate business street and a
second rate residence one. For 10 blocks north from State
Street there are just two green lawns, one in front of an
insurance company and the other in front of the Fletcher
Barnes residence, which is now owned and occupied by the
City Park system. Poor Mrs. Fitch! If she were to drive up
the street now in her electric brougham! Iler colonial residence
is occupied by a chiropodist with a large sign of a human foot
on the stately brick wall and dead grass from there to the fan
frieze entrance I
The reason for the dead lawns is not entirely due to the
decline, neither is it indolence. Had Rockford the water system
of Medford the entire street would be beautiful, for those who
still live there have their pride. Hut Rockford has a metered
water system, and as the grass gets yellow but docsn t actually
die, and as there has been practically no rain all summer, the
residents figure they can't afford to pay the price, or at any
rate they don't. We have a mind to write the local paper
about it, nothing ruins the appearance of a town more than
dead grass all over the place.
But judging bv "the farm" the drought hasn't ruined the
crops far from it. The big yellow ears of corn are hanging
down, big as a corn huslter s forearm, and a large part has
been sold at 50 cents a bushel net. There is good money at
that price, for this is a wonderful corn country, ami even on
old land the yield is terrific. The prices for hogs and cattle
are good also, ditto wheat and barley. But do you hear the
owner of the farm kick up 'his heels and rejoice? Not so you
would notice it. On our last visit, he couldn't sell anything
for enough to even pay for the planting. Now he admits he
is making money but it all has to go out in taxes and "do you
know what this crazy Government is doing! Why the man
down on the corner "80," the worst farmer and land in the
country, is getting $2,000 a year cash for planting nothing
and his three sons are on relief! (Tins docsn t conform to
government regulations regarding the matter, but that has
never bothered our farmer friend, THE FACTS. He wouldn't
be happy if he couldn't curse the Democratic party, and have
something to complain about.)
.
As far as the mercury goes it is like summer here but in
two particulars it is refreshingly different; the nights are cool
and there is no humidity night or day. In short, with a rain
to lay the dust the climate would be nothing to complain about.
. .
Will say this for the Chicago Tribune, it has more detailed
war news than any other paper we have seen to date, and our
list includes the N. Y. Herald-Tribune. On Sunday it had throe
or four columns from Berlin giving the details of the Polish
campaign from the Nazi standpoint. Paying a high tribute to
the bravery of the Polish soldiers, but rapping the high
command. We wish Colonel Voorhies were available to give
us his opinion from the military standpoint, it doesn't sound
like propaganda but a layman is always suspicious.
The Tribune today has an interesting article full of statistics

BIRMINGHAM Al'TIIORIT
During tbs past 17 yean 43.047

treatment In Alabama, with a rabies
mortality of 0.09 per cent, according
to a report pub
lished by Dr. Geo.

tories, and Dr. J,

officer, of Jeffer

dogs, 103.520 col
ored persons owning 7.507 dogs. All
of the census figures were obtained
by the health department a a WPA
project: as the count was taken years
after the passing of Tony the W Irish
Terror I think we may accept them
as reasonably accurate. In Tony's
heyday of aha-what-have-we-here It
would have taken all of the squad's
ttme determining whether that was
four dogs or one tearing around the
links.
In 1938, 320 dogs (more than 1
per cent of the 20,609 dogs of known
ownership) In Birmingham, had
rabies, according to the laboratory
tests by the health department; In
the entire county of Jefferson the
health authorities diagnosed rabies
In 443 dogs that year.
No wonder Birmingham has been
called the "rabies capital of North
America."
The 0.06 per cent mortality from
rabies, among the 42,047 persons given
Pasteur treatment In Alabama over
the 17-year period may seem a favor
able showing for the effectiveness
of Pasteur treatment. "But perhaps
of greater significance," Drs. Denlson
and Dowllng point out. "la the fact
that of the 48 persons who died of
rabies In the same period, 23, or 48
per cent, were Judged to have re
ceived prompt and adequate treat
ment. The persistence with which
fatalities continue to be equally dis
tributed among the treated and un
treated affords grounds for wide spec
ulation." The Alabama authorities point out
another observation which should
have a reassuring Influence at least
on Intelligent readers who are not
blinded by superstition and morbid
fears. "Actually 43,3 per cent of all
persona on whom Information Is avail
able ( who received Pasteur treat
ment) took treatment without hav
ing been bitten." Drs. DenUon and
Dowllng assert, on the btuds of their
vast experience In dealing with
rabies, that Pasteur treatment is
rarely warranted or advisable If the
person has not been actually bitten
or scratched. One exception "of no
great Importance" sometimes warrants

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. The war
time gyrations of the government
bond market have plunged the treas
ury and federal reserve board Into
a bitter policy dispute. The immedi
ate question at Issue is whether the
government should continue support
of its own bonds, but that In turn
involves the much broader questions
of government control of credit and
the new deal easy money policy.
Ths truth Is, the decision in the
treasury-reserve board controversy
will constitute the first of the fund
amental and far-reaching policy de
cisions which the war emergency will
inevitably require the president to
make.
The current dispute is, of course,
only one more expression of the
divergence In philosophy between the
orthodox secretary of ths treasury.
Henry Moreenthau. Jr.. and ths un
ort hodox chairman of the reserve
board, Marrlner S. Eccles. In this
instance, Mordent hau has lined up
behind htm In a solid phalanx his
under-secretary, the astute John W.
Hanes: his new bond market adviser.
W. Randolph Burgess, and all his
new economists and business liaison
men. Eccles Is not so sure of the
support of the entire reserve board,
but. aa he la ihe dominant figure,
he mar be taken to speak for his
associates.
In the earlier days of the war
emergency, when neither Morgenthau
nor Eccles was at his post, the
problem of the government bond
market was handled peacefully
enough by a treasury-reserve board
Joint committee. Including Hanes:
the treasury's best technician, Daniel
W. Boll: the vice-chairman of the
reserve board. Ronald Ransom, and
the governor of the New York re
serve bank. O corns Harrison. Condi
tions In the market were panlckv.
and all paitlrs agreed on the wisdom
of extending moderate support

purchases.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Milk Is Mineral Food.
Please tell me If is the best

(E. B.)
Answer Milk Is the best source of
mineral elements contains large
amounts of the Important elements
calcium, phosphorus, fair amounts of
potassium, magnesium, sodium, sul
phur, chlorine; some Iron and Iodine.
Cheese (any kind), buttermilk, sour
milk. Ice cream, skim milk or sep
arated milk, acidophilus milk, evap
oruated milk, dried powdered whole
milk, dried powdered skim milk,
cream and other milk derivatives
are all excellent sources of mineral
food for the body the most assimil
able forms. For children (up to 16
years of age) a fair daily ration
would be three pints, or at least a
quart of milk; mature adults may

theory, urging that government bonds
be permitted to find their own levol
as soon as possible. The Morgenthau
argument: Until they feel confident
It la not artificial, banks and In
vestors will avoid the government
bond market. Avoiding It, they will
also refuse to pour capital into new
enterprise. Thus, prosperity will be
retarded, while the government's
financing will continue difficult.
Eocles. within whose official pro
vince are the government bond pur
chases, fought for a supported mar
ket out of concern for his beloved
cheap money policy. The Eccles arg
ument: If government bonds are not
supported, their price will fall and
their interest rate rise proportion
ally. With the rise In the government
interest rate, money will cease to be
cheap, and such boomleta as that
In housing will be endangered. Gov
ernment financing will not be Inter
fered with by the government bond
buying, since the urge to sell bonds
will weaken as the government buys.
Until the beginning of last week.
Eccles and Morgenthau hurled their
arguments at each other's heads
without changing anything much ex
cept the state of their tempers.
Then, on Tuesday. Morgenthau vir
tually commanded Eccles to stop the
reserve board bond purchases, stat
ing that government financing might
b coming soon and that he must
know that market's real condition.
On Wednesday and Thursday. Eccles
abruptly pulled the plug, and gov
ernment bonds dropped about two
point. On Friday, without consult
ing the treasury, Eccles returned to
the market with the same abrupt
ness, once mors Initiating bond pxir
chasea on the old plan.
Eccles and Morgenthau. therefore,
are now In a high state of rags and
mutual accusation. The treasury as
serts that the "test" provided by
Eccles was really no test at all. hav
ing been carefully managed to create
the maximum of alarm without giv
ing the slightest reassurance. The
reserve board snappishly replies that
the test was perfectly adequate, and
clearly demonstrated that Morgen
thau had been talking through his
hat from the start.
Presumably the dispute must now
be appealed to Caesar, In the per
son of the president. Morgenthau
wants an open Intimation that a
"natural" bond market Is the gov
ernments objective. This. It is de
clared, wtll give the reassurance
which the reserve board test is ac
cused of lacking. Eccles wants to be
allowed to go on In his own sweet
way. which, so he believes, is abso
lutely necessary to ths new deal
credit policy. As to what the presi
dent's decision will be. only an all
seeing providence can foretell.

Dies Committee Told Organ
ization Members Act At
Behest Of Hitler Seen
Potential Spy System.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 38. (AP) A
former member of the German relch
stag said today the German-American
bund sought to provide a nazl
reserve here which Adolf Hitler could
tap "for any kind of assistance."
Gerhart H. Stger. now editor of
a New York City German-American
weekly, made the statement to the
Dlea committee while testifying the
bund was an official representative
of Germany In thla country.
Potential Spy System
He told the committee the nazl
party regarded all German organiza
tions abroad aa sources ."from which
It can draw for any kind of activity
It would like to have."
He agreed with Chairman Dies (D.,
Tex.) of the house Inquiry Into un
American activities that Qermanv.
"with 100 poets loyal to the nazl
party, would have a potential spy
system" in the United States.
In addition, Seger quoted a nazl
paper as saying:
"The program of the young German-Americans
... la: We want to
bring the Germans In the United
States, who In part have become
alienated from the German father
land and from the German nation,
back to the great community of blood
and faith of all Germans. To this
end, the spiritual regeneration of the
Germans after the model of the
homeland is necessary."
law Violations Seen
The Dies committee decided to
transmit to the state and Justice
departments testimony which one
member said proved the communist
party and the German-American
bund had violated the registration
and espionage acts.
Representative Thomas (R N. J.),
a member of the house group in
vestigating un-American activities,
raised the point.
"Based on testimony presented to
thla committee." he said, "there can
be no doubt that the officers and
members of the communist party.
U.S.A., nad the German-American
bund are violating both acta.
"In view of the clear cut testi
mony showing the close tie-up be
tween the communist party and the
German-American bund and their
foreign headquarters and in view of
the national emergency which exists.
I think It Is our solemn duty as
a committee of the house to Im
mediately acquaint both the state
and Justice department with all re
lating testimony.
Chairman Dies (D Tex.), agreed
to Instruct Rhea Whitley, commit
tee counsel, to transmit pertinent
testimony to those departments "if
they want it." then added:

mltted to the senate for debate. One
such Is sponsored by Washington's
Bone, Mlssosurl's Clark and North
Dakota's Nye. This would reduce
discretionary powers of the president.
It would make an absolute embargo
on munitions, arms and Implements
of wsr and would apply the cash
and carry Idea to all other aupplles.
Nevada's Plttman has a bill elimin
ating the embargo and place every
thing, war material and otherwise,
on a cash and carry basis. Ths White
House leans toward the Plttman pro
posal. Straight out repeal of the neutral
ity act and authorization of the
president to meet the situation with
executive orders. Is another bill. But
Its sponsor was the late Senator
Jamea Hamilton Lewis and with his
passing it haa no advocate.
NOT even war talk can adjourn
polltlca. The administration Is
playing with the Commonwealth
Federation In Oregon and Washing
ton, rather than with the Democratic
party organization. This leaked out
when Byron Carney, of Oregon City,
was selected for state superintendent
of the census In Oregon without the
knowledge or consent of the Demo
cratic state committee. Wires have
been received by President Roosevelt,
by Democratic National Chairman
James A. Farley, and the Secretary
of Commerce Harry Hopklna.
There is no complaint against
Carney personally, hla qualifications
or eligibility, but there la a very
substantial howl going up because
the party was Ignored like a white
chip. Among wires sent were those
from Democratic Veterans, Women's
Democratic League and an assort
ment of party officials.
IT appeara that David K. Nllea, who
was a right hand man for Hop
kins In the WPA headquarters (title
assistant administrator), has been
looking after the political side of
the census personnel Hopkins not
being well and absent from hla of
fice for months and Nlles, not Hop
kins, picked up Carney.
Whether thla la the explanation,
the fact remaina that the census
will be a grand patronage Job and
aa auch the Democratic state com
mittees everywhere have had an eye
on it and now. In Oregon and to
some extent in Washington, the left
wing commcnweslthers have cap
tured the gravy train.
Communications
4-11 Show Prizes.
To the Editor:
I attended the 4-H atock show
and have always been Interested In
4-H club work.
I thought this one waa the best
one they ever had.
But there Is one thing lacking to
make the event perfect. The children
all know they can t all be prize
winners.
But very few farmers are able,
under present conditions, to help
their children get thoroughbreds the
first year, and lots of them never
can have.
But they try Just as hard and
make as much of an effort as the
ribbon winners. Now why csn't
there be aome Inexpensive little merit
badges given them as encouragement
to do their beet acaln next year?
This Includes the exhibitors of pure
breds who were not prize winners
too.
It Is a long time until the next
StOCk Show. Rut T .1 '
