The "Ever-Normal Granary," a farm vote molasses of the 1936 mandate is recommended by New Deal advisers for the cur rent campaign. Offhand, it looks like a fine shape for everything, as well as the granary, to be in.

Nominee Willkie, left a 48 tip for a Fort Wayne, Ind., waitress. When a billionaire auto king softens up in the pocket book that strong, both the lady and the candidate have charm. ; SLEEPY TOWN, (Adrian (Mich.) News) "Adrian experienced com plete bliss Thursday. The day passed with one birth, no deaths, no marriages, no di vorces and a few drops of rain. Stores closed at noon for the usual Thursday half holiday." It takes upstate letter writers to the Portland editors to think up stemwinding logic in defense of a Third Term for the "Indis pensable One.". They argue why retire a President in eight years, because an eastern Oregon con stable has reigned for 33 years. The Elks' tom-cat now In the hospital with a broken Jaw, sus.J tained in a mysterious manner, Is coming along fine, under the expert care of Dr. Phillips, and soon will be himself again, in stead of some other cat as now. Peoria Bill Gates is now in Detroit, and writes there is a soap-box orator on every cor ner, going full blast and yelling for Humanity. He sent a paper, from which the following po litical purity item is clipped: "He was accused of oper ating disorderly houses him self and was linked to the vice charges which sent Rudolph G. Tcnerowici. then mayor of Hamtramck (and now its con gressman), to prison." Berlin reports "even though nations war, fashions must go on." and then sends radio.Dhotos of what the girls are wearing in Naziland this fall. There is no picture of a "Pork-pie" hat, that by any stretch of German propa ganda will become a pork-chop, when the belt-tightening starts next winter. Rain fell last night, but not enough to cause farmers to plow. or slow moving autos to skid, The Young Democrats of ciackamas county will hold al picnic next Sunday, even though there is no excuse to stop eating fried chicken to cheer for four more years of the more Abund ant Picnic. Word from Rumania reveals the departed King Carol, while on the royal roost was strong for romance and rackets, and left for exile with a red-headed Jewess, and many millions.

An OF course, if the implications of President Roose velt's appeal in Washington last night, to giv him a third term ate llih If the American people, them to be time then, ' A great deal of time, saved by abandoning the and handing over the White House to franklin D Roosevelt right now by petuity. COR IF, The ONLY way to give deal, The ONLY way to attain adequate relief in time of distress and adequate security in old age, The ONLY way to keep out of war on one hand, crush totalitarian aggression to ourselves and to posterity American freedom and security, is, To return Mr. Roosevelt and the New Deal to the White House for FOUR MORE YEARS ! Then why all this delay and palaver? Everyone wishes these things, and if this IS the ONLY way to get them, why the battle is over, the argument is ended, why continue the sham any longer? THE answer to this, of course, is the implications of the President's speech are NOT TRUE, and mil lions of Americans, just how many no one knows, don't for a minute believe them to be true. They don't deny the contributions the President has made in these desirable directions, particularly in his many favors granted to organized labor, but they don't believe when the TRUE and permanent welfare of labor, and this countiy, are concerned, any one man or any one party has an absolute monopoly, as far as the proper course to pursue is concerned. jORE than that, many of them, again, just how many no one knows, honestly believe the worst thing that could happen to this country, and to or ganized labor as a most important portion of it, would be four more years of the New Deal, four more years of increasing debt, four more years of in creasing (or at least stabilized) unemployment, four more years of class consciousness and class antagon ism. In short, they don't believe the better welfare of this country lies in the direction of granting special favors to ANY one class, but in granting a SQUARE DEAL TO ALL, and particularly, In narrowing, not widening the breach between business and labor, and returning this country, re gardless of special class interests of any sort to a capital-labor unity, cooperation and a common patri otic endeavor. DELIEVING as they do, they accept the chief aims u of the President's speech as entirely desirable (who doesn't?) but when he implies that HE and HE ALONE can achieve them, they respectfully beg to differ, they deny that he or any one individual in this democracy is indispensible, and will register that opposition most EMPHATICALLY at the polls in November! He'll Never Quit! fF course in this campaign the President, any President, has a tremendous advantage. This would be true at any time. But it is particu larly true, at this time, with war threatening, uncer tainty growing, and the chief executive possessing the largest and most perfectly functioning political ma chine ever created in the country's history. THERE is also the matter of prestige. As Mr. Willkie 1 once remarked, Mr. Roosevelt is the "champ," and has the psychological advantage of the "champ." For nearly eight years now he has KO'ed all comers, with merely a twist of the political wrist, and no opponent can arise without having that disturbing fact in the back of his mind. . Just as a large percentage of Joe Louis' opponents are beaten before the gong rings, so many Republi cans hear those dulcet tones over the air. and imme- ,t;.,,i sv.i.1 .... ...i.... it.. ... ur. ai s ie billion dollars and the "master's voice." RT 'u CAN. Just as ranted in Republican circles, neither is defeatism. There is always a time when the champ becomes the EX-champ and that time is usually when the wise boys least expect it. (Look up the record of Gene Tunncy, for example, and the late Jim Corbett.) At any rate this much may be said : This year's Republican candidate isn't going to be beaten before HE starts. Some of Mr. Willkie's backers mav be getting cold feet, but not Wendell Willkie. He is rarin to go, and when he said he wanted to meet "the champ" he meant even- word of it. UE may lose.

WE MENTION A mother says she reads this column every day and gets so much help from it in caring for her five children between the ages of two and ten. But she does not believe we have ever mentioned cel ery in our ar tides on foods. How .does it compare with lettuce or cab bage as a raw vegetable for winter use "We grow it ourselves and take it up roots and all in the autumn and plant it in the basement where it grows all winter, so we have fresh celery as often as we like. We have winter cabbage, but are unable to buy lettuce." Celery has been included in various menus or food lists giv en in this column from time to time. It has been mentioned many times among the raw veg etables one should eat daily or frequently for the benefit of the teeth and gums, the blood and vite -celery, carrots, radishes. tomatoes, turnip, cabbage or coleslaw, lettuce and other greens, onions, potato if you like. Celery is equal to raw cab bage or lettuce as a source of calcium (lime) and phosphorus. It is equal to lettuce or cabbage as a source of vitamin A, vita min B complex, and only slight ly less rich In vitamin C. The unbleached or green leaves of celery are richer than the bleached leaves or stalks in vita min A. The leaves of celery should be eaten, not thrown away. As fuel or fattening food cel ery is insignificant it is one of the least fattening foods one can eat. containing only about hundred calories In a pound. as compared with potatoes which contain about 400 calor ics in the pound, green peas which contain 460 calories in the pound, cucumbers which contain 65 calorics in the pound, cabbage 130 calories or lettuce 85 calorics in the pound. Celery contains more food iron than apples, oranges, milk, head lettuce, headed cabbage, but less than the outer green leaves of cabbage or the green leaves of loose leaf or ordinary garden lettuce. For the winter supply of es sential vitamin C for the family remote from low cost fresh fruits and fresh vegetables a crop of celery growing in the basement is a distinct advan tage, especially if the celery is not bleached the greener the THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNER (Continued from page One ) ness than is Nelson, but in this case he rightly was incensed. The concern happened to be one whose relations with the government are extremely un friendly. Nelson telephoned the president of 'the corporation. and in no uncertain terms told him that unless the navy's order was filled at once, he would recommend to the president that legal priorities be invoked. It took the steel official Just about three seconds to make up his mind. The navy order was filled promptly. THIS case has not turned defense commission mrmhers from their conviction that a voluntary system Is the bcltrr method of obtaining speedy re-srmsment. They look on It as an exception rather than the rule. However. It has Increased the conviction of a grest many high gov ernment officials that the army and navy needs a "bigger stick" with which at least to threaten recalci trant manufacturers. As one official pointed exit, the moral of the case ol the steel com- pany Is, of course, spplicabie to the Russell-Overton and smith amend ments to the construction bill. Both ilve the government the right to take over recalcitrant businesses. Ber nard Baruch. chairman of the indus tries board during the last war, has Indicated that while he believes vol untary cooperation Is the bettei method, the government shoxild elM have powers to commandeer Indus try. Psruch has had great experience and his recont statement may well be amplified by testimony that he previously gsve before congress.

M. D. CELERY AGAIN leaves the more vitamin C as well as Iron they contain. Raw cabbage likewise. Raw potato and raw onion both provide con' siderable vitamin C. Failure of the potato crop has been fol lowed by scurvy in the spring many times in medical history- Scurvy may not mean much to most readers today. Yet it is still a fairly prevalent disease, tho not recognized as scurvy in most instances because it is gen erally mild. It may deserve dis cussion in a subsequent article. These days the family that can dig some celery in the cel lar whenever they want it, thru the winter, is likely to be well nourished. ql'ESTIONa Jt ANSWERS Professor Priority The clipping enclosed seems to show that ths professor claims the Ides of potassium for hay fever ss Ills own. I found the suggestion In your column over a year ago and used It with most sstlsfsctory results for my hsy fever. IB. B. T.I Answer Thank you. The profes sor's claim Is evidently thst he con ceived the Ides of using another salt of potassium as an anti-allergic rem edy. Medical literature has contained a great many reports on the use of potassium chloride for allergy In the past two or three years. Hay fever. asthms, various food sllergles. recur ring hives, weeping aczema, allergic rhinitis, or hyperesthetlc rhinitis, sudden unexplained stuffing up - of the nose, watering at the nose, ma chine gun sneezing attacks, and many cases of what purports to be sinus trouble respond well to potss slum treatment.

In the morning we carefully pour off the clear solution and drink It. My wife believes this has cured her neuritis. (C.A.J. 1 Answer It may well have done so.

Calif. similar to that of the steel concern: "We were having great difficulty," Baruch recalled, "with one of the strongest men In the whole Indus trial field. He Intimated, In a very diplomatic and politic way, that they were not going along, and that would be that. So I took out a letter which I had on me, signed by Wood row Wilson, authorizing me to say that he would take over the plants, and particularly this one. In case we were unable to come to some agreement." The Industrialist. Baruch contin ued, recognized the potent threat, but countered that he could "Just sit home." Barouchs answer was: "Well you cannot Just sit home be cause you are going to have a hell of a time explaining It to the peo ple at home why you are not running your plant." The Industrialist capit ulated. It may well be that the Importance of the "conscription of wealth." as It Is commonly called, will rest on the threst to take over, rather than tile actual taking over of non-cooperative Industry. But It Is obvious that such government power must be greatly circumscribed to prevent abuse. Communications Can Only Beat Catholics? To the Editor: We have heard much, since the conventions, from you, some of it being "The Democratic convention was bossed, but the Republican convention was run In the good old democratic way." Now I have always under stood that in a democracy the people should have a voice in the selection of their nominees. The squawk from the Willkie side of this affair seems to be that Roosevelt pulled something over on the rank and file of TRY HENRY LEE HERBS YOU'LL HAVE BETTER RELIEF Henry Lee Herb Company 30 NO.

He was nominated by delegates who had been sent to the convention by voters who had voted in the p-imaries for Taft, Dewey, Mc Nary, or someone else for presi dent. You have called the party be hind the third term "professional politicians." and Willkie's back ers amateurs. It looks to me like F. n R ehnu-prl nuite a lack of professional touch when he refused to let some of the hot-headed pull-away Democrats be his running mate (which act would have closed the breach in the party), but he insisted on Henry Wallace, who is an out-and-out new dealer. I think he showed himself a sport. ' The others did pretty good for amateurs: For president. Wall street corporation head; for vice-president, Oregon Sen ator, to draw rural votes. You have great sympathy for Jim Farley, for his failure to be the nominee. Farley never expected it, you know as well as anyone that he announced his intention of going into base ball before the convention, but I understand the Republican party wishing that a Roman Catholic were the opposition. The records show that a Catholic is the only kind of a presidential candidate they have been able to beat for about 12 years. Pat Graham Route 2, Box 63, Medford, Ore.

T'HIS writer, a firm believer in telling people the facts, believes that if a bomb has to drop anywhere a propaganda minister's house would be just about the right spot. pHURCHILL, addressing the British people in the midst of the battle's din, says: "The German air attacks so far have failed conspicuously. The royal air force is stronger than at the start, while the nazi force is being worn down by Hitler s attempts." What he is attempting to do is to brace British morale, for if Britain's will to fight is broken the battle will be lost. What he says in this hour of Britain's supreme trial is more convincing and therefore more heartening because in the past he has not hesitated to tell the British people the stark truth. ewjr r7' iasswssMTsr rvuuu tjl OLD dfx it oUNNY DROOK E KENTUCKY STRAIGHT Tonight enjoy Old Sunny Brook, that oldtime Kentucky bourbon! in Minttetn I DiaOfIT S U R A N g -1 1 avsyia V in Tj I $110 'X y 11 I IP" 'Tl XN : II ...aftT I This whiskey is ' i'ii J 0 National Distillers Products Corporation, N.
