Mawi, ichoolma'ai, and kids, have only a week to wait till ichool begins. One of the valley ipeederi was caught going 92 miles per last week, the consensus of opin ion being it was 90 miles too fast. Gold Hill held its fair Sat. with many in attendance. Sev eral from here went down for a hunk of barbecued beef. Among the sporting events was a child calling contest for ladies only. This was a pioneer practice. Nowadays they don't call Willie. They send Papa after him in the car. The girls also had a skillet throwing contest. They were throwing at mankind in general. Instead of the usual fast moving target in the kitchen. "I am a Democrat voting for Wlllkle" buttons are quite plen tiful on male chests and coat lapels. Some maintain they don't know how they got there, but take the position, as long as they are there they might as well stay. The street sign at Main and Holly was knocked askew and akimbo Fri. eve, and rests at about the right angle for good leaning. Tha Bates Boys have put new chairs in their tonsorial parlors, that are so nice and modern a customer has to fight the barber for a place to lay down and get shaved- Picking of the D'AnJous has been going full blast, and grow ers and packer! are too busy these days to take a chew of tobacco. The manpower of the nation Is expected to be called to army training about Oct. IS. Due to the proximity of the date to election day, it is freely bet there will be a postponement New Deal politicians don't go crazy and do such things, with votes to lose. Here it is September, and C. Wig Ashpole reports the flies are biting, a sign of rain, the way he figures. Farmers have started threat ening fall plowing. A member of the fair sex showed up Sat. am. wearing a fur coat. This valley is no out post of the Arctic regions, and Crater Lake Is not Hudson Bay.

Some Democrats Prefer Willkie ACCORDING to Paul Mallon, the well known " Washington columnist, Mrs. Jim Farley and Jim's brother will both vote for Wendell Willkie. What Jim will do is not known, and will not be known, if Jim can help it. But the Farley family as a whole is off the reservation, as is the Gamer family, and scores of other life-long Democrats. They will say nothing for publication but they are fervently praying that this coming November, the violator of the Jeffersonian third term tradition will be Knocked into the middle of next week. 'THIS Democratic defection is going to be a more important factor in the result than most of the political prophets realize. For it is not only a silent vote, it is a hidden vote. No life long Democrat cares' to advertise the fact, he intends to vote against Roosevelt for four more years. But when he enters the polling booth that is going to be his verdict. And this action will not be due to the fact he cares for his party any less, but he cares for his country MORE. A NYONE who is skeptical of this has only to move "about the country a bit, to have it removed. There are literally thousands of good loyal Democrats, who have supported Franklin Delano Roosevelt for two terms who will refuse to support him for a third, largely on the ground that in their judgment, in a Democracy, eight years for one man in the White House is ENOUGH! They are not saying anything about it, but when the time comes to mark their ballot, that is the way they are going to vote ! . So don't get too confident, you Third Term optim ists, that the Democratic registration is going to repre sent the Democratic vote. A Good Politican? A FRIEND inquires if we q crrri T.r.lif innn U ISSV jVtViVlUUt That depends upon how one defines the term. If by "good politician" one means, a good straddler, a good pussyfooter, a good rabble rouser, Wendell Willkie certainly isn t. And if one means a veteran in political experience and vote getting manipulation, it's no again. Mr. Willkie is a rank novice in practical politics. And thirdly if a good politician, has to be all things to all men, say one thing in and another in another, never saying anything that might lose him votes, then the Republican candidate comes close to being a total loss. DUT we are not so sure that outline represents a good politician. We have an idea that the people of this country as a whole are pretty well fed up on that type of professional slicker, who hasn't a real conviction or a solid, uncompromising principle in his make-up, but is willing to do anything, say anything or tolerate anything, if it promises to bring in the votes. And they are fed up because they have come to realize that in high public tute for sincerity, integrity and good faith. They are particularly aware that in the next four years, these qualities in the White House, will perhaps be more acutely needed than at any time in recent history. IF this is tine, then we believe Mr. Willkie might be termed a "good politician", for in the last analysis, there is only one test of a good politician, ability to get the votes. And it is our belief, that'the longer this campaign continues and the more clearly the people see the type of man the Republican candidate REALLY IS, the more enthusiastic and widespread, will become his popular support. He'd RalheTBe Right THE occasion of the inquiry above was Wendell Willi-:,.' ...,,..,.,t ...,,,,!:. ,(... r l'ju- n 1,1:.. ,1 I11IMU C JVltllL I t'l'MWlUUUU Ul f rtlllt?L vmiiuiu, and the reported pledge of his support. she hepublican candidate didnt mince matters, he got right up on his hind agitator and his followers as he was concerned. He wished no support, from those who were en deavoring to gain political power, through appeals to racial or religious prejudice, and he didn't care who knew it. AX7E maintain that not since the days of fearless and TT two-fisted "T. R." has any candidate for high office, in the Republican party, made a more courage ous and thoroughly patriotic statement than that. But was it good politics? One could stage a fairly long debate on that subject. THIS much is certain, President Roosevelt would never have said it. And few will deny he is regard ed all in all as the most skillful practical politician ever to occupy the White House. No, one will never see F. D. R. go out of his way to spurn any votes regardless of where they come from, or their character. He may be his brother's keeper but not his ward boss's. And probably that IS smart politics, and the Will kie procedure isn't. Iut much be said. Our enthusiasm for Wendell Willkie, wouldn't be half as strong as it is, if he were what is known as a smart politician "and all the term implies". MEDFORD MAIL think Wendell Willkie is demagogue and an expert one part of the country, office there is no substi legs, and told the "Fascist" to jump m the lake, as far as far as that goes let this TRIBUNE, MEDFORD.

THE OXALIC A Oxalic add. in the form oxalates, is present in a good' many everyday foods, such as tea, coffee, cocoa, chocolate, grapes, pears. riirranta mcn- berries. mel-j ons, peache?, apricots, cel ery, tomatoes, c a u 1 Lf lower, onions, beets, beans, spinach, rhubarb, pota toes, straw betTies, dried figs, bread crust the list Is lone and comprehensive, and it would be difficult to select a diet that contains no oxalic ac id. There Is a great deal of im posing medical conjecture relat ing to oxalic acid and its effects on the body. The old timers conjured up an interesting pic ture of a state they termed ox aluria, which is described in detail in most books on practice and diet published more than thirty years ago. Had a severe case of it my self once I mean I was sure that was what ailed the patient. Took away the patient's favor ite treats strawberries, pie plant (rhubarb) pie and what not. Issued with a flourish lists of food items which were for bidden. But fortunately, before I had starved the patient, a real roctor I called in consulta tion suggested that the condition looked more like pyelitis to him, and he was right as the labora- iury lesis cieariy snowea. i In the 1939 edition of "The Newer Knowledge of Nutrition" E. V. McCollum, Ph. D., Sc. D. I.L.D., who is not a physician, refers somewhat vaguely to re ports of alleged poisoning with oxalic acid in sorrel and in the leaves of rhubarb, but leaves the reader wondering how much truth there may have been in the reports, and how much im agination or misinterpretation. For that matter there have been hundreds of "reports" of seri ous or fatal poisoning with "pto maine", but scientifically no such poisoning has been proved and we know that In such cases the actual cause of illness or death usually proves to be bo tulism or similar infection or toxemia. Prof. McCollum care fully observes that there are many reported observations on the excretion of oxalic acid and oxalates In various diseases, but the results are not sufficiently conclusive to warrant discus sion. That's what I thought. Prof. McCollum does favor Portland, Ore., Aug. 31 In one of his last acts as secretary of agriculture Henry A. Wallace prepared a document on the timber and lumber situation in the Pacific northwest which is confirmation of a statement in this column several months ago and which called down upon the head of the writer a shower of criticism. Mr. Wallace declares that the timber supply in private hands will be exhausted In 15 to AT ATHE BABY DISPLAY "Personality Portraits" PRIZES.

CID BUGABOO the theory that the calcium In milk or cheese is better utilized by the body than the calcium in some plants such as spinach, for instance, because there is some oxalic acid in the plant and this interferes to certain degree with assimilation of cal cium. I express no offhand opinion but the conclusion I have reached after many years of con sideration of the question when I say that I believe a liberal daily intake of milk, apples. cheese, citrus fruits or their juices, nuts, and green leafy or salad vegetables is the line of diet in any case of "oxaluria" at least until the doctor can find out what really aids the patient. If you are worried about the oxalic acid bugaboo my advice is have a glass of milk and a slab of apple pie and consult a phy sician if there is anything the matter.

Beverly mils Calif. 20 years because of the rush to liquidate. The document of Mr. Wallace is the result of an investigation by forest officials of the Port land office, a study ordered by the secretary of agriculture after the situation in Oregon and Washington had been described in this space. The secretary lost no time in calling Portland offi cials to Washington fnr rnntnlta. tion, found they were in agree ment on tne facts as published and asked for a comprehensive nearly every lumber pro ducing district the sawmill capa city exceeds the ffrnwth with the consequence pointing inevit- aoiy to a decline of the industry, destruction of the timhtr r. source and the folding up of communities depending on lum bering for their existence. In the Klamath Falls area, Mr. Wallace says, the annual cut is three times that which can be maintained permanently and in a few years the lumbering Indus try will fail to support the com munity It founded. In Bend there are 8.000 people depend ing on lumbering. The annual cut is twice what it should be and drastic reduction of produc tion is necessary beyond any thing probable as the only means of preventing "a serious jolt to one of the most substan tial and prosperous communities in Oregon." The Baker, La Grande, Omak and Spokane timber supply is inadequate to a more or less de gree. In Grays Harbor, states Mr. Wallace, where two billion feet production a year was the aim, the virgin timber is rapidly being exhausted and its people are desperately seeking for some other means of support. In Grays Harbor and Puget Sound districts 300.000 people are de pendent directly or indirectly on the forest industry. Most of the remaining Puget Sound mills have less than two decades of Douglas fir left at the current rate of logging. Logs are being shipped in from the Willamette valley and the Oregon coast. Seattle, Tacoma and Belling ham ara threatened, deelarea air. Wallace, with tho loea of aa Important part of their economic support, "and that In the not far distant future." Says Mr. Wallace, two-thirds of the Douglas fir la gone: of what la left 60 billion feet la in private owner ship, 40 billion feet In public owner ship. Some of that Is of doubtful accessibility. Even during the past five years the average cut of lumber alone waa more than one and one quarter billion. Plain arithmetic will te'l you what la bound to happen In IS or 20 years to what la left of your great Industry. For most of the areas the pinch will come earlier. Only 23 holdings of saw timber will last more than 10 yeara at the present rate of cutting. Cutover lands will bo unable to furnish a sizable second crop much ahort of 80 yeara. And the fact that Oregon still haa lota of non operating timber won't help much. Boll It all down to one sentence: For over SO years, beginning In 1905 Washington led the country In tim ber cut, a dubloua distinction that has now passed to Oregon. Oregon contalna more timber than any other state, nearly one-fourth of the na tional total. More than three-fourths of Oregon's timber, or 340 billion I feet. Is In the Douglas fir region. That sounda very good. The first disturbing factor, however, la the large volume of Inaccessible timber, about two-fifths of It under present conditions. "Three Oregon counties once heav ily forested, Columbia. Tillamook and Clatsop, hava been largely stripped of their timber and their tax base. Remaining virgin timber In these counties will be gone In about an other ten yeara at the present rate of depletion. Most of the land In these three counties la good only for timber." Portland, too. la concerned In the disappearing timber, aays Mr. Wal lace, and "a aubstantlal part of that economic base la now seriously threatened." There are forestera who are not In agreement with tha contention of Mr. Wallace, but he answers tbeae In his document. Where tho foresters are In error, according to Mr. Wallace. Is that they point to btlllona of feet as a resource whereaa the timber can not be reached. How the most choice timber Is be ing exported to the Impoverishment of domestic demand la another sub Ject Mr. Wallace treata. Montha ago Governor Sprague of Oregon bad the gloomy prophecy called to hla atten tion and he and consultants have been searching for new Industries to replace the lumbering Industry when that slows down.

Got Votes To the editor: Mr. Wallace's acceptance speech should have been entitled "Hitler." What would Mr. Roosevelt do if he were suddenly deprived of this man Hitler? He wouldn't have a lot of time to build another war scare around some other ruler say Japan. This writer is not defending Hitler neither is she approving of the methods Mr. Roosevelt is using to secure a third term. Strange, but the third term is never mentioned by new deal speakers. Perhaps the "ghost writers" forget to mention it. j Mr. Wallace said, "Some of the bitter attacks on the Roose-! velt program were directly in-! spired by the agents of Hitler in this country." Jeffersonian Dem ocrats, where does that place you? If such men as Hiram John son, Woodring, Reed, Glass, and Hugh Johnson are inspired by the agents of Hitler, I say, 'Thank God for the inspiration." What about Farley, and Garner? Do we still have a vice-presi dent? "When it'i roundup time in l exas this writer believes that the world will know, Texas is the home of John Nance Gar ner. Mr. Wallace said, "They (the dictators) hope to get rid of the unyielding Roosevelt." So do we, Mr. Wallace, AND HOW? If Mr. Roosevelt has struggled so hard for international good will why is he so badly hated? Secretary of the Navy Colonel Frank Knox said, "If England is defeated the United States will be left without a friend in the world." We all know why. Said Mr. Wallace "For the sake of a profit in 1941 they (the opposition) would sell out their own future and their chil dren's freedom. Mr. Wallace could have said, "For the sake of re-election Mr. Roosevelt has done everything in his power to keep this war scare before the people. Those, in his own party. who have opposed him have been disposed of, or "stabbed in the back." Too bad Mr- Wallace had to make his acceptance speech a "war speech", since his position has been secretary of agriculture not secretary of war. Bullitt or Pershing would have been better mouth-pieces for Mr. Roosevelt with this "war speech." Better stick to your farming Mr. Wallace. Our am bassadors will make the war speeches for us. MARY E.
