However, Russia has as much right to object as New Zealand, as she recently did through her prime minister, to pick out the candi date she wanted elected. There is some excuse for the Russian suggestion. For many years, Americans have been suggesting her statesmen and generals get shave, and make the names of her great cities less sneeze able. A wolf, not In sheep's cloth ing, Is reported prowling around back of Trail, in search of food and sudden death. ... The deer season opens Friday. All the hunters have their trig ger fingers unllmbered, their trusty rifles greased, and their income tax reports made out and mailed. All they have to get now is gasoline, cartridges, and a deer. . Jackrabblts were never so plentiful hereabouts. Due to curtailment of motoring, few if any, of the present generation know what it is to outrun a 4d ' on a straightaway. Good and cheering news for the peoples of Nazi conquered lands came yesterday from Mos cow as Red soldiers slaughtered German foes once the uncon querable, the invincible power of the 'super-race,' as they ran like their fathers ran Jn 1918. It was dark tidings for Vldkun Quisling of Norway, and Pierre Laval of France, the super traitors. The puppets of Hitler art seeing blindfolds and firing souads in their nightmares. .... The great short-pants shortage for small boys continues with no relief in sight. No future vlct-prcsldent, the best Young America can do, unless the fourth torm notion has bad luck, as yet has appeared at the little red schoolhouse wearing mama's ' slacks cut off at the knees.

Had this merger of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies been sanctioned back in T. R.'s day there would have been a great public uproar. For around the turn of the century under the lead ership of the "Rough Rider of San Juan Hill," there was strong popular feeling against large business be cause it was large great corporations known as trusts and castigated as greedy and soulless monop olies, grinding the poor common people under their respective heels. TPHERE is still ample feeling against monopolies and monopolistic practices. But today there is a fairly widespread discrimina tion between ARTIFICIAL monopolies and NAT URAL monopolies. The telegraph business, like the telephone busi ness, federal post offices, city water supplies and other public services, has come to be recognized as a NATURAL monopoly. Although competition still exists in some locali ties, no community wishes competition in these de partments if the service given is satisfactory, and the charge reasonable. For the people realize that one large concern, PROPERLY REGULATED in the public interest, can give better and cheaper service than two or more, duplicating services for such duplication increases the operation costs, and thereby the per capita con sumer expense. "DROPERLY regulated" is the keynote of the en- tire problem. If this is not done and because of the advan tages monopoly gives, service to the public is im paired, while a few higher-ups get rich, the demand for dissolution and a return of the competition will come Boon enough, and the people through the power of the ballot box will eventually secure it. ' On the other hand if regulated in the public interest, not only is the service improved but the profits to the stockholders increased. IT will be interesting to watch how this Western Union-Postal Telegraph merger works out If bet ter service at less expense is not given, there will only be one reason: The failure of the legally constituted regulatory agencies to PROPERLY The War andthe WA CS Hat The difficulties during a war of commenting on anything but what is directly connected WITH the war, are illustrated by a letter printed in a recent issue of the Saturday Review of Literature. The letter js from one head of the French Academy of Design, later a well known landscape gardener pardon landscape ARCHITECT. fUl LAMARTINE makes a confession. Not only did he put together the first of the more grotesque women's hats, but .he did so on a bet with a famous Austrian milliner, of 50,000 francs. The Frenchman wagered that women's headgear need be based on no aesthetic or utilitarian values. He was confident he could with wire various unrelated fabrics,. sprinkled with stray flowers and feathers In a most incongruous and repulsive fashion, and with proper high-powered propaganda and publicising at his command, estab lish not only a hat style, but measure he even promised to see the contraption would fit no hair-do or known feminine head-size or contour. Well, the money was won in a walk. Appalled by this grim woman would fall for, the ancient and honorable or der of united milliners of Europe signed a solemn agreement to keep the matter a sacred secret. M. Lamartine, however, Then he told all, via the erature. Why in that highly weekly wo don't know, but the point we wish to make is he justified his confession by declaring he decided to tell all "in the interest of the war effort" Just what connection with the war effort it is difficult to make out Is it possible the designer responsible for the WACs' headgear can throw some light on it? Disgraceful! Add weaknesses to democracy in war: All this talky-talk about Generals Marshall and MacArthur and similar hot-air blasts in the Senate regarding the drafting of pre-Pearl Harbor fathers. Senator Wheeler of Montana who started the oratorical ball rolling on the latter subject yesterday now declares he will talk two days more I And in the interim the capital is buzzing with this rumor and that regarding thev American chief of staff and the alleged impasse between General MacArthur and Lord Mountbatten in the South Pacific. QNLY in this free and easy-going democracy would such a situation be tolerated. England upholds free speech, but there is an aroused public opinion over there and a war tradition which would never al low such scandalous melangering and irresponsible street corner whispering to get a start much less take up the time of congress. the monopoly IS properly regulate! y Gustav Lamartine, former glue together and hook a popular one. i or good put up and M.

Our kids started in right early on their peck of dirt. One doted on soil from the potted plants, palms or ferns; the other would go for wall plaster wnen aver it was within reach. Dt. Brady But we never worried much about it. There was more garden soil and more plaster to replenish the supply. I remember how fond I was of peanut shells when I was a kid. Some kids ate the peanuts and threw away the shells: I ate the peanuts and carefully put away the shells to munch at leisure. Father stoutly maintained that it was a matter of minor im portance whether or not one got much spinach with one's sand, so long as one took one or two spoonfuls of sand every day. Father tried to persuade me to follow his example; but I never could muster the courage to down a mess of sand. Father succumbed to sarcoma (gallop ing cancer) of the intestine and abdominal wall whether Irrita tion by the sand ha had taken daily for years was a factor, I don't know. Several readers have reported Instances of In dividuals who have taken sand like that over periods of many years, with apparent impunity If not with definite benefit to health. The peculiar appetite or fond ness for such foreign substances Is called pica. There is a com mon belief or assumption that infants or young children whose diet is deficient In essential min erals manifest this peculiar crav ing or appetite in an Instinctive effort to get the minerals they need. I don't know whether this is so or not. Nutrition authorities find that calcium Gime) deficiency is com mon among Infants and growing children, in Canada and the United States and in England. It might be logical for a child who doesn't get enough calcium (lime) in his diet to go for wall plaster, which contain lime. But the lime deficiency would hardly News Behind The News by Paul Mallon (Continued front rage One) has followed the more conserva tive trend which Mr. Roosevelt established back .when he dropped Leon Henderson as OPA administrator. Since then, he has set up the Judicial front composed of Byrnes, Vinson and Jones (with Bernard Baruch as official adviser) in charge of practically all domestio plan ning. He called In the Wisconsin ex banker, Leo Crowley, already filling two important govern ment posts, to take over In addi tion the Wallace-Milo Perkins economic sideshow and turn it over to a. business functioning basis without all the animal acts and reforming ballyhoo. Now he has boosted Mr. Crowley a notch higher, elevating him to control of relief and rehabilita tion, since Governor Lehman is preparing to take the bigger in ternational role in that line (Lehman also being a New York banker). All these appointees may be conservatives as the liberals rate them, but more Important than that, they seem to repre sent an effort to do a practical job here rather than a political job. To say that Mr. Roosevelt nas gone conservative, however, woud be going too far, as he still has all his old most Inti mate new deal associates around Messrs. Hopkins, Frankfurter. Rosenman, Cohen, etc. and, in most government agencies you will still find new dealers hid den away in key spots. To me, it seems the president has not gone anywhere politically, e e e THE weird activities of agents of Vice-President Wallaces former bureau of economic war fare In their search for strategic materials, are still being related. Many of his men went into the Amazon jungle area, inhabited chiefly by Indians, who do not even wear a sarong, or at least In abbreviated form. An effort was made to Induce them to gather rubber. Before the project really got under way, a government ship ment of 1500 sewing machines arrived in. the jungle for dis tribution -to the Indians at an Brady. M. D. EAT A PECK OF DIRT account for the eating of sand, soli or ashes, In which-there is little or no lime or anything else that is not amply supplied, in the ordinary diet. It is per fectly reasonable to believe the eating of chalk (calcium car bonate) would make good cai cium deficiency in a child's diet, but not the eating of the graphite from a "lead pencil, nor the eating of charcoal, coal, wood, paper. In any case of pica in a child It can do no harm at any rata to feed the child a daily wafer con taining calcium and vitamin D (to Insure utilization of cal cium). In fact this is advisable in many instances in growing chil dren even If they have no pica.

Just who sent them, or why, was not apparent to those in charge on the ground. They were not used and were sent back. Inci dentally the Indians of that area would not do the work anyway and natives had to be imported from another district. e e THE internationalist group in the senate hears Mr. Roose velt is still for the international police force. One of their num ber came back from the White House with that story. But from past statements of White House position coming from calling senators (even off the record), It is not safe to bet much money on this one. The caller also went to the state department, but got nothing from Hull, lor or against. We've never had a safety de posit box. Not that we haven't put things in boxes for safe keep ing; we have. But these have al ways been in the attic or under the bed; never in a bank. Fur thermore, there Is no family tra dition to the effect that we ever hand an ancestor who had such a box. We have other traditions, however. One of our ancestors got hung for being a horse thief, and one went to Oxford; went there years and years. Butlers were faithful old retainers, in those days; even college butlers. But there's been no deposit box lighting up our family past. Maybe our ancestors felt a horse thief on the gallows and a but ler at Oxford was enough tra dition for one family. So when the head of our house told me to get such a box. the rest of us looked at each other in stunned silence. Deposit boxes were where the dukes and earls In story books kept the family jewels. The only Jewel j we possess Is the man's agate ; ring. He can't get this oft his 1 finger, so if we put the ring in the bank, we'd also have to de posit him. And what good is a husband kept in a vault, I a;k you. Seeing our befuddlement, he Barber's Observations explained the ever-fattening en velope containing our war bonds must be put in a safe place. A safety deposit box at the bank was the answer. I wouldn't have been more surprised if he d told me to go down and buy a yacht; or bring him home a valet. Now I ve read how wives fan to keep pace with their hus bands. Starting out in life with him having but one suit and her only one good dress, she still thinks one dress enough, even after he's advanced to the three suits and a tux status. I wasn t going to be like that, I can tell you, so I put on my best hat, placed a spot of perfume behind my ears, went to the bank, and nonchalantly told the clerk I wanted a safety deposit box. Even more nonchalantly, he told me there were none left. Yet I've been made safety con scious. Sometimes I keep those bonds under the slip cover of the ironing board; again I hide them In the middle of the onion sack. Just now, they're between blocks of wood in the basement. But just in case your privateer In stincts get the better of you, let me say they'll not be there long so don't plan any forays and ex cursions. Yes, It looks like family tradi tions ara not to be augmented with a safety deposit box. How' ever, we still have the hore thief, and the butler, at Oxford. E DIGS NEBRASKAN Salem, Ore., Sent. 29 (U.R) Gov. Earl Snell possibly antici pating a little today offered his sympathies to Nebraska's Gov. Dwight Griswold over Oregon's winning of the interstate third war loan wager, but invited the cornhusker to visit Oregon and fish for his own Chinook salmon. Commenting on Gov. Grls- wold's bet of a prima Nebraska nog against a Chinook salmon that Nebraska would surpass Oregon's third war loan show ing, Gov. Snell wrote: "Oregon not only is ahead of Nebraska, but we desire to serve notice on you that we are de termined to reach our quota be fore this third war loan drive draws to a close Thursday night." 8.

J'rille Grange Boosts Sugar To the Editor: Jackson county housewives need bow to no one in their national patriotism. War bond campaigns, salvage drives and war work have won their un tiring support. Next to national patriotism comes state loyalty, and here, we of the Jacksonville Grange, feel confident in appealing to local housewives. We urge the wider use of Oregon's own In dustrial product, White Satin sugar, which Is manufactured at Nyssa, Oregon. This exceptionally fine and highly refined beet sugar has the same chemical analysis as the best cane sugar. It has iden tical nutritive value and sweet ening power. For table use, pre serving, canning, jelly and dessert making it has equal merit. Therefore, all things be ing equal, why not give our awn state product the nod over suear snipped in by large out-of-state industrialists, who contribute 11 tie or nothing toward building up our post-war payrolls. radically all the Medford stores now carry Oregon's White Satin sugar in small as well as large sacks. The present canning season provides the best op portunity to get acquainted with Oregon's own and only sugar. The supply In these stores will be guided by your demand. Let's support Oregon industry and payrolls b y buying Oregon sugar. Respectfully. Jacksonville Grange. Jacksonville, Sept. 28. California produced 11,322, 000 boxes of lemons in 1938.
