Herald) "Farmers harassed with labor shortage snorted In dis gust at the spectacle of a Hollywood movie actress rush ing to San Francisco for a one-day stand to sign up 1,000 women for farm harvesting. The type of city woman at tracted to a farm labor sign up by a movie actress would never reach the farm and be only a nuisance to be sent home If she did. The affair was no credit to anyone who had any part in it." A Willamette valley editor In Washington, D. C, testifying before a committee, hints if the Columbia Valley Authority is Invoked for Bonneville Dam there will be more "political posts" than power line poles. AN APPLEGATE DOG Hermy Offenbacher of the Applegate has a dog called "Blackie," and several other things. For downright canine usefulness he takes the cake. His hide Is black as coal and his liver as white as snow. He la the scariest thing on any number of legs. He is even in mortal terror of his own fleas. Most dogs are "Man's most loyal friend." This dog is the friend of no man, and his master Is the most total stranger of all. A famous editor once remarked, "If a man bit a dog it would be news." No man is going to get close enough to this Fido to bite him and get in the local and personal column. Here are Just a few things that show if he never had a tin can tied to his tail, there should have been: Mr. Dubb Watson, a dog lover tossed this dog one of Con De Vore's best dog bones in an ef fort to be friendly. This so frightened the dog he ran half a mile into an alfalfa patch. When he returned an ancient rooster was pecking on the bone. The dog ran another half mile, when the lord of the barnyard let fly with a casual flip of a hind-leg. One of the safest things a dog ean bark at is a full moon. In a surprise burst of courage this dog started baying at Luna. high in the sky. In the middle of his bark, his own bark scared him, and what remained of the original defiance became a whimper. The cats around the place, as far as he Is concerned, are mountain lions. ... There is no other dog like him. Even the Humane society rould not be humane to him. He sure leads a dog's life, but It's all his own fault. ... "Incidentally, it is noteworthy that the person who was so anxious to see the names of these boys in print, did not have the courage to place his or her own name on the letter ad dressed to this newspaper." (Klamath Falls News Herald ) Preposterous! And the very idea! Nonsense, you nimcom poop 1 : "Like Shooting Fish?" It is thrilling to read on the front page: "Big U. S. bombers were credited today with scoring 23 direct bomb hits on two Italian battleships in the great sea battle in the Mediterranean, while the American fliers no battered the fascist naval squadron that it never made con tact with a British convov it set out to intercept. " 'It was like shooting fish In a barrel,' said U. S. Major Alfred S. Kalberer who led the Americans on their first battle flight against the Axis in the Mediterranean." It is not so thrilling to page: "Australia's Prime Minister, John Curtin, gravely warn ing that 'Australia can be lost' declared today the war news was not good, and that the fall of the 'down-under' conti nent would lay Hawaii and the entire American coast open to Japanese attack, adding: " 'No. 1: The news from Libya Is not good. " 'No. 2: Australia is irrevocably linked with Russia's defense against the current Oerman onslaught. " 'No. 3: Submarine warfare against the allies has reach ed a high intensity, and shipping losses, I tell you bluntly, are beyond our annual replacement capacity. " 'No. 4: A complete setback for the allies In the Mid East would gravely affect Australia because it would give the Axis command of the Suez and the gateway to India leaving the Indian ocean open for enemy approach to Australia.' " VES, one dispatch we like to read, the other we don't and would much prefer to skip. Which is natural enough. For it is only human to enjoy eood tidines and not enjoy bad. Yet we don t believe there is an informed and im partial observer of World would for a moment deny, Minister's warning more true situation, than the more inspiring and diverting , vr v. ivtuib OUUUblilg Xiou, For taken as a whole today, the war news from an allied standpoint is NOT good 1 iwen that bouyant and item returned to the context, while demonstratine anew the gallantly and effectiveness of the American air forces, wherever they may be employed, adds up to a doubtful victory for the British fleet Yet its net resul; is to give the impression that knocking holes in the Axis offense, is as soft a touch as knocking over ten-pins with a baseball bat. A LL work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All gloom and no sunshine, all sad news and no good, would impair any national morale. To over-emphasize, in other words, the bad news in our war reports, would be even more harmful than to over-emphasize the good. DUT our point is, there is no need, and no good MJ purpose served, in OVER-emphasizing EITHER. The more nearly a TRUE picture and ONLY a true picture of the war situation is given from day to day, the easier it will be for the people of this country, and every allied country, to arouse and implement those forces, which must be made effect ive to meet that true situation, to bring about, in the shortest possible time, a defeat of the Axis powers that will be decisive and complete. What Price Liberty? Says John H. Martin, assistant director of policy of the War Production board : "The American standard of living will be gradually re duced to eating, sleeping and working, without the trim mings, and waste will be treason." Nice going, John ! That is as inevitable as sunrise tomorrow, and the sooner "we the people" become reconciled to it, the better for all concerned. IT SHOULD not be difficult,- If the United States were not so far away from the battle-fronts it wouldn't be. But with the fighting, three thousand miles from one coast, and even farther from the other, those of us safely and securely functioning, much as we have been accustomed, for a great many years, may have difficulty in appreciating the necessity of such sacri fices. And they will be regarded as sacrifices, at least in unimaginative quarters. yLHEN the family car collapses like the one-horse v shay, and there is nothing better than a bike to take its place; when the table-toaster blows up and there is no way to repair or replace it; when a thou sand and one other elctrical and non-electrical gadgets, to which we have become accustomed, go where the woodbine twineth, with no possible resur rection or repair, there will be some squawks, some complaints, and many who will promptly look around to find some sacrificial goats. THUS should not be. But we fear it will. And (to repeat) the main reason will be our distance from the war zones and the resulting false sense of peace and security, such distance creates. Those with imaginations, however, w'll be spared any such shocks of readjustment. They will travel over to Europe, on the east, and Asia on the west, and envision what being able to EAT three square meals a day, sleep eight hours in a safe and comfort able bed, and go to a well-paying job the next clay, would mean to, not HUNDREDS, or thousands, but literally MILLIONS of people, just as eager for "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," and all in all no doubt just as deserving, as "we the people" of the more fortunate United States. A ND with that picture in their minds eye, and also the picture of their own fathers and brothers and sons, risking their lives on land, at sea and in the air would thev be thinking or talking about "SACRIFCES"? Hardly! They would be thinking only of what a puny price to pay for such a priceless privilege ' read on the SAME front War No. 2 today, who that the Australian Prime accurately represents the dashimr "shootine fish" Personal Health Service By William Signed utters pertaining t personal health and hrglene, not to disease dUfnual- or treatment, will Ot answered by Dr. Brad If a stamped ewtf addreescd envelope Is eneloerd.

He found out some time ago that it was from lack of calcium. He sent for m y pamphlet 'The Calcium Shortage" (copy mailed to any reader who asks for it and Incloses Dr. Brady stamped envel' ope bearing his address), began following the In structions for booping (as I call it) the calcium Intake, and soon obtained com' plete relief from the cramps. A great many individuals, men and women alike, suffer from painful cramps in the legs. especially at night, and gener ally find little relief for the trouble. Sometimes the cramps occur In the arms or hands as well as in the legs or feet. From the number of reports I have received, describing such relief as C. S. F. describes, from calcium, I am inclined to believe such cramps are usually a mani festation of tetany. Usually tetany is seen In In fants or young children and the characteristic symptom of tet any In children is spasmodic contraction of the wrists and feet, lasting for hours or days at a time. Another characteris tic sign is extreme irritability of the nervous system, tendency of the child to have spasm spas mophilia, as doctors call it. The child may open his hands to grasp things or feed himself, but as soon as active motion ceases the hands resume their charac teristic attitude. There is usually more or less pain with tetany spasms In hands and feet, or pain may be induced by an ef fort to overcome the spasm. But there Is no fever and no loss of or other effect on consciousness. Often If not always the child shows signs of rickets. Cause of tetany in children Is calcium 'deficiency, and I be lieve this is the cause of cramps In legs and arms or feet which people of mature age so often have, especially at night, dis turbing sleep. Essential for ultization of cal cium (from food or medicine) Is an adequate daily intake of vit amin D. Kelly's Comment From Washington, D. C Second A.E.F. Due This Summer Bases in Siberia Believed Coming Service Academy Proposals Flop ; Br John W. Kelly . Washington, D. C, June 18. While interceptors, bombers, blimps and surface craft are pa trolling the northwesi and Alas ka against Japanese, within 120 days, it is estimated, the second American expeditionary force will be making a landing in Eu rope. The European adventure is to start this year and Novem ber and December are bad wea ther months, so it Is assumed that Johnny Doughboy will shove off for a beachhead in France before the end of sum mer, with the possibility of a landing in Italy. In a matter of weeks the Amrrican air force will be at tacking France and Germany, bombing plentifully and paving the way for the landing of troops. In this air force are scores of young men from the northwest (the percentage of northwest boys In the Jimmy Doolittle raid on Japan was con siderable). Boeing bombers are being rushed across the north Atlantic by the ferry command as fast as they can be completed. Ground troops and motorized equipment are piling up at bases in north Ireland ani England by thousands. Strength of the sec ond AEF is estimated eventually at 3.000.000 to 4.000.000 and among these will be a liberal sprinkling from Washington and Oregon. Plans for the second front In Europe to relieve the pressure on Russ'.a will in no manner weak en the northwest defenses; in fact, the defenses on the Pacific coast will be increased on land and sea and in the air. e e e WHILE there Is no hint that Commissar of Foreign Affairs Molotov agreed to permit Ameri can planes and troops to be based In Siberia, ther is a suspicion in the rat.c-al capital that such permission eventually will fc Brady. M. D. Hence children or elderly per sons with tetany should receive a suitable daily ration of cal cium -with vitamin D to supple ment the daily diet which is so likely to be deficient In these two essentials.

M. D 365 El Camlno, Beverly Hills. Calif. granted. Ostensibly, Japan and Russia are still or. terms of peace. Molotov, however, knows as well as does Chief of Staff George Marshall the importance of American bases on Kamchatka for reprisals on Japan. Instead of flying ovr the north pole, pausing at Nome &pd then swinging down to Puget sound and the Columbia river, as other Russians have done, Molotov arrived In a Red bomber at Baltimore, making such time that there was no one to re ceive him. The bomber was an eye-opener to military men. Throughout his six-day visit . Molotov was apparently unac- companied as he visited movies, wandered in crowds, but he was constantly under the eye of secret service, whose duty It is to safeguard visitir.g notables. The Job was performed so well j that many times the commissar was unaware that he was being shadowed. ... j ANOTHER attempt to estab lish a military academy and a naval academy In the northwest has flopped. Senator McNary of fered a bill authorizing the loca tion of these facilities in Wash ington, Oregon or California to relieve the pressure on West Point and Annapolis, whose of ficials wish to expand. It was supposed there might be a chance for the military school in Ore gon and the naval academy on Puget sound, but the brass bU decided otherwise. I War department sayi It would cost $75,000,000 to establish a military academy and navy de partment says $22,000,000 would b required for its school and that $3,000,000 would be need ed annually for maintenance. War department gave no estlma'e of maintenance cost.

One cherry grow er writes to OPA and to the de partment of agriculture that he has 200 tons of cherries and he wants to know what price he can expect. Off hand, he should re ceive approximately $34,300. e e e THE narcotic bureau la deter mined to suppress the growing of poppies in the Pacific north west. Poppy seeds have been used by bakers for sprinkling on certain buns and bread, but they are now unable to purchase any. A few northwest farmers have had a few acres planted to pop pi" contending that they grew the "blue" poppy, and that It Is the "white" poppy from which a tincture of morphine is obtained from the pods and stems. The narcotic bureau answers that it has examined the so-called blue poppy and finds that its pods and stems are In the same category as the white variety. No great amount of the poppy has ever Seen grown in the United States.

They must do that every night before invasion can have reason able military prospects of suc cess. They should be able to ful fill the promise before the end of the year. ... THE American public seems to suspect large American troop concentrations have been amassed in Ireland. Actually only four convoys have been sent over as of f 1 c i a 1 1 y an nounced. What the British need to make a second front is not land troops but air reinforce ments. Meanwhile Ireland serves as a good place for training American troops, in view of the crowded condition of American training camps. Also these troops can re lieve British for fighting in Libya and India. The landings in Ireland there fore do not necessarily forecast immediate invasion. ...
