The False
From every defense unit in the country, comes the
appeal to keep calm.
The importance of this can't be overemphasized.
For in an atmosphere of hysteria, it is difficult if not
impossible, to carry on any defense (or offense) pro
gram effectively.
AS the potential dangers become more and more
pressing, the need for cool heads and calm, clear
headed leadership, becomes more and more urgent
Those citizens who are losing their heads and
demanding all sorts of ill-advised action, against the
few defenseless individuals of alien blood we have,
in the city and valley, are doing this community and
their country an especially serious disservice.
No good can come from such action, much harm.
I OCAL, state and federal law-officers can be de-
pended upon to protect the community from any
overt acts, while the latter, the F.B.I., have been
investigating all aliens in southern Oregon for
months, and where the slightest suspicion is justified,
the proper protective masures have already been
taken.
SO by all means keep calm, exercise self-control,
and this goes for EVERYBODY.
It isn't a matter of manners, or even of law observ
ance, though both are involved, it is a matter of
BEST SERVING YOUR COUNTRY, of genuine
PATRIOTISM, in this extremely critical time.
The hot-headed, so-called 120 patriot, who
directly or indirectly urges any sort of illegal punitive
action, against any law-abiding citizen in this com
munity, whether his skin be white, red, yellow or
black, represents a very real danger to this commun
ity and to any effective defense effort.
We are quite sure the force of an aroused and
right-thinking public opinion in this community, will
be sufficient to keep such "subversive" individuals
in check.
Give the People the Facts
We are quite sure the country stands solidly behind
President Roosevelt in his pronouncement, that now
and at all times, the administration will give the
people the FACTS about the war, the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth, except
where such action might benefit the enemy.
That is certainly the democratic way, and is the
admirable course Prime Minister Churchill has pur
sued so successfully, from the outset.
pERTAINLY Winston Churchill has given Hitler
no encouragement or useful information, even
when things looked darkest, his attitude has been
one of complete fearlessness and defiance.
But at the same time, Mr. Churchill has NEVER,
either repressed or tried to color, the FACTS.
Whether good news, or bad news, the British Prime
Minister from the "sweat, blood and tears" speech
onward, has frankly taken
completely into his confidence.
WHAT has been the result?

have complete confidence in their government,
realize at all times, no information of importance is
being withheld from them, and while the going may
be tough, they, not only know the best but the
worst, therefore
They are not wandering in a maze of make-believe
and conjecture, but are marching always on the solid
ground of truth.
VES, this is the democratic way, and from the
standpoint of modern war, we believe, the only
wise and effective way.
For when all is said and done, in modern war, the
final outcome depends upon morale, morale not
only at the front, but behind it.
As not only this war, but world war No. I demon
strated, any break at the front can be repaired, as
long as the rank and file, at home, behind the
front, have not lost the will to win.
A ND nothing undermines this morale at home more
" quickly, and leads more certainly to civilian
demoralization, behind the lines, than the practice
followed in the totalitarian countries, of keeping the
rank and file in the dark, buoying them up by false
reports, leading them to believe in quick and decisive
victories, and then have them suddenly awaken to
the fact, they have been deceived, and are not only
in a tough spot, but have a government they can not
trust.
WE grant because of the totalitarian successes the
T T break has not come yet But this war, is not only
a world war, it is a war to the death.
And in the final analysis it is going to be won by
the nations that are able to endure the most, the
group having the strongest will-to-win, the most
unyielding determination to resist, regardless of what
sacrifices must be made until the foe has met com
plete defeat
That group we feel confident, will consist of the
nations, that have not only fought for the truth, but
have at all times demonstrated the moral strength
to face it

THE AUTOINTOXI
Physic, enema and mineral oil
addicts imagine that all residues
of today's food must be evacuat
ed from the
bowl next day
or else. Or
else, they Ima
gine, they will
suffer from
"a u tointoxica
tion", or, as it
has also been
called, "Intesti
nal toxemia".
For this obses
sion tney are
indebted not
alone to the
nostrum propaganda, but to
some" eminent specialists" of
yesteryear.
"It Is entirely possible for a
person to suffer from intestinal
toxemia without constipation"
wrote J. H. Kellogg, M.D., LL.D.
in a book published in 1915,
"but it is impossible to have
constipation without intestinal
autointoxication. The fact that
symptoms of toxemia do not oc
cur in every case is no evidence
that they are not present."
Like the little man they call
Yahudi, the symptoms are pres
ent even though they do not
occur. What makes it more baf
fling or inscrutable to any one
but the adept is this further
elucidation from the same book:
"The South American Indian
poisons the points of his deadly
arrows by dipping them into
putrid flesh. Butchers as well
as undertakers sometimes die
as the result of a small cut
made with a knife soiled by
contact with a dead body. The
same poisons are produced
when putrefaction takes place
in the intestine."
Perhaps the physlolog 1 1 1 s
should revise their textbooks to
conform with this astonishing
vagary of Dr. Kellogg's. How
ell's Textbook of Physiology
says:
"Under normal conditions,
on a mixed diet, it appears
that in the small Intestine car
bohydrate fermentation is the
characteristic action of the bac
teria, while In the large intes
tine protein putrefaction un
doubtedly occurs ... In the
large intestine protein putre
faction is a constant and nor
mal occurrence."
South American arrow poison
is not "putrid flesh" but an ex
tract of the bark of certain vari
eties of vines and trees of the
Strychnos species. A solution or
extract of this substance known
as curare is sometimes used In
physiological experiments, to

the senator denounces the pro
ject and writes to Senator Car
ter Glass that only "two smart
alecks and big ikes like Krug
and Lllienthal" would try to put
over such a dam. McKellar says
the dam would destroy 30,000
acres, on which 2,000 peoples
raise vegetables, which are pro
cessed in five canneries and are
sold for $1,000,000 a year. It
would destroy the county seat
of Jefferson county and flood
an ancient graveyard.
Director Lllienthal and En
glneer Krug want the dam to
bring in additional kilowatts
"for national defense," of
course, and the Reynolds Metals
company was to be furnished
power for an aluminum plant.
It looks as though McKellar will
prevent construction of the dam
(he Is real mad about it and
his letter to Senator Glass is
intemperate), in which event
the Reynolds Metals company
will be located elsewhere. The

HOP growers from Yakima
to Salem and growers of snap
beans everywhere are continu
ing to ask for wire for vines.
The soldiers must have their
beer and bread and beans, and
on this argument a priority may
be obtained. However, the wire
investigation, which started
quietly and at the instigation
of REA, has backfired and that
organization is accused of hid
ing 23 carloads of copper wire
in Texas cotton fields while
REA has been shouting that it
could not obtain wire but that
private utilities were "hogging"
it and trying to ruin the rural
electrification program.
The trainload of copper wire
was delivered and sequestered
within the past two weeks, af
ter the REA office complained
that it could not get wire for
the bare poles of cooperatives
in Washington, Oregon and
Idaho. It further develops that
the hidden wire is not needed
in Texas as the area where it
Is deposited now has farm co
operatives which receive low
cost power, and the charge is
made that REA plans the dup
licating of transmission lines in
a couple of years. Not a yard of
the wire was made available in
the Pacific northwest by REA
out of the 23 carloads.
