On the lawn, ""' are being de-limbed, and two veterans will ba whacked down. This means less shade, fewer roosts for robins, and leaves for janitors to rake up in the fall. Spain, a broadcast reports, has undergone a "re-shuffling" of military chiefs. What Spain . needs is new dealer, to replace Dictator Franco, also a new deck. . The lower house at Salem has passed a bill providing penalty for any person under 21, who buys, accepts or consumes liquor in a public place. The old-fashioned bartender, did hla own guessing and fearlessly, about the age of a customer, and, the customer always lost the argu ment, if doubt existed. They were a sharp-eyed lot. Even If the applicant was actually 23, and the bartender said 18, there was no appeal. He was too busy to debate birthdays with any body. t , The proposed Tennessee law making It felony (or woman to use a lipstick, has been quash- ,ed. Widespread abandonment oi lipsticks, by the fair sex, would have resulted In a stricter law, making it a felony not to use one. . FREE IPEECH TOO MUCH BO (Klamath Falls Herald) "Our comment, we hope, Is read by the gents who take the floor and keep it, who are enamoured with their own voices snd diction, who get wound up and' can't quit, who run off at the mouth." The Musicians Union has again defied the orders of the government agency. This is noth ing to run a fever about It will iron itself oilt In due season, while the national regime is ironing out the Polish border dispute, and trying to keep Franca from fainting again. - The Older Girls have started playing draw poker again.

Chronicle) "On the other hand, the per sistent pessimist In a war is practicing a form of cowardice. He is so afraid of getting eaught on a limb with a cheery outlook belled by events, that he won't take a chance. If event turn out better than he had predicted they would, everybody is so happy hit gloom is forgotten." V Hall TYtbun. Want Ada.

Editorial Correspondence Brawley, Cel., March 4: One thinks of the Imperial Valley as a part of the California desert that has thanks to the All American Canal been made to blossom as the rose. That Is true. Vet If there are any roses here we haven't run into them, tho there are plenty of. other flowers largely those one finds in Mexico. One also thinks of the Imperial Valley as a huge outdoor hothouse, where lettuce matures in January, watermelons in April and May, and cantaloupes somewhere in between. Correct again. But it is far more than that. In fact while we don't care to blow the local Chamber of Commerce horn, we have decided after spending nearly a week here, that this valley is probably one of the richest and most productive sections on the earth's surface, equal perhaps to If not surpassing the ancient valley of the Nile. Almost every soil-crop one can think of is produced here, except the three things that are produced so remarkably in the Rogue River Valley, pears, applesand tifskeys. Oh yes, and green corn. (The latter deficiency being another reason we would not care to be a PERMANENT guest at the Planters Hotel.) It surely Is a land of milk and honey. Considerably over a million gallons of milk are marketed here annually; and over a million pounds of honey; while some 20,000 colonies of bees are proverbially busy hereabouts. But the most surprising at duction. This place reminds us of Pendleton or the John Day coun try, by the number of Stetson hats and light tan gabardine out fits one sees and the fine tanned, strong, weather-beaten faces and broad shoulders one sees beneath them. Here are the figures for 1943 be larger 81,620 sheep, 39,000 hogs, 75,260 cattle, 13,000 dairy cows, 2,000 horses these are the MARKET figures the totals sold In the year. Some crop! But frankly, it Is no Dlace to mistlc report of yesterday that clear skies' and sunshine had at last come again, was not fulfilled. A beautiful morning, hardly a. m. there was little else and If the average annual rainfall been equalled since we arrived we will eat well, not the edi torial hat say three of those giant grapefruit out in the patio which never appear in the dining this for the hotel grapefruit, however, they ARE sweet!)

They are Pullmans on wheels compared to the rattle-traD. broken- down contraptions that ply between here and the Mexican line.

It Is good Commando nothing else good about it. And And we might add, with the won. We got a seat but not the kind we were after, and with the only other white man in the bus. (Perhaps this was another case of drawing the color line with reverse English!) The whites were certainly outnumbered. And WHAT a white man! Wa can't explain it. but the slon we have had a curious attraction for men without teeth and men nicely plastered. ' Our companion on the Calexlco bus renresented the latter category, and started out the proceedings VERY propitiously by patting "ye editor" on the knee and addressing him affectionately mm "DAti'Mt (Some day wa are loins to first person addressing us as "Pod" excludins. of bers of the immediate family is ana win nave io settle matters with John Perl we won't have further dealings with such a sich and such!) But being unarmed and somewhat exhausted hv th rm. mando skirmish, all we could do was to avoid our companion's sour and fermented breath, by turning our back and then push ing him toward his own seat with an elbow-jab now and then which fortunately he yielded to and did not resent. Otherwise he would have taken the entire trip prone on the editorial lao. Like many other more rescectable membsra n tv ,,. homo, in a somewhat similar condition, there were no inhibitions, and a strong desire to tell the salient facts of one's life. It WAS rather interesting in fact, to find that our chance companion had been a lumberjack for the McCloud Lumber ocmpany only a few miles from Medford and after a period of visiting his kin In the great state of Texas, is returning to prove it he showed HEADS ARMY HOSPITAL Memphis, Tenn., March '7 (U,R Col.

Not a By-God! No good at all! And what happened to me here in El Central? I went to thet bamboo hut and what dye think they done they stole my watch. Yes sir, stole it! Ain't that in credible, or is it? (Believe it or not "incredible" WAS the word.) But you know I hope the man who stole thet watch will make a million dollars for I tell you Pop he'll need it. Yes he will. I spent 817.50 for thet watch but it never would keep time. One mornln' I got so mad I jest thro'd my shirt on the floor and there was a big crash. It was the watch. I forgot to take her out. They charged me 86.79 to fix it. Then the handle come off back there in Waco. Thet cost me $2.50. I am what ye might call a wood rat; I work in the woods, here, yon and everywhere. But there's a bit of a pack rat too in me. I like to gather things together and cherish 'em. But thet watch I am glad to get rid of it anyway. It never did keep time and it kept me broke. I hope whoever stole it, maybe one of the gals did, but I think it was one of them waiters I hope he makes a million dollars, he'll need it!" R. W. R. Flight o' Time Mediord and Jackson Co.
