This year there is a surplus. Nobody wants them. e The hot shots of the defunct German "master race" will be handed 25,000 word indictments today, through the door of their cells, charging them with start ing the war, and many crimes ap pertaining thereto. The defend ants will then be given a month to read the Indictment, pick a lawyer, and, file a demurrer to the indictment. There is no chance for any legal speed In the proceedings, such as character ized the recent French trial of the late traitor, Laval. Instead, it is highly probable the trials will last longer than the war did. Everybody knows the defendants are guilty, Including the defend ants. The world would welcome more speed, and less internation al fooling around. e e JOURNALISTIC JOYS (Thief River (Minn.)

Friday, Oct. 19, 1943 Editorial Correspondence New York City, Oct. 16 Took a cross-town car to the west end of 42nd street and the ferry across the Hudson to Weehawken. The only purpose of such a Journey was to celebrate clearing skies and a desire to see something of the waterfront. As luck would have it we saw two large Red Cross ships unloading their per sonnel, doctors, nurses, sick and wounded but were prevented by cops from getting within 500 feet of them. e e e There were several hundred people on the ferry returning to Weehawken after their day's work in New York. They were a quiet, folksy, relaxed group, very different from those one sees at the Grand Central every evening trying to catch the 5:15 to some place in Westchester. The little we could see of Weehawken between ferries, was not very prepossessing, docks, ramshackle factories and empty lofts, but the upper stories of apartment houses were discernible further up the hill. A 10-minute ferry ride to 42nd street WOULD have advantages over an hour on the N. Y. Ccntrall e e e e e On our return the N. Y. sky-line gilded by'the rays of the setting sun, against a deep blue back-drop of clear sky, thrilled us, as it always does. We could Imagine what the same view would mean to the doughboys returning from war in Europe, at least we thought we could, but doubt if anyone who has never returned to this coun try after such an experience, can really do so, Later again on the street car two service men Just returned sat behind us, wish we could have taken down their patter on a dictaphone, for one could give no adequate Idea of it without the voice inflections and general tone of exaltation, liberally sprinkled with profanity. But profanity with a smile. Neither of them could get over the one glorious fact, that at last they were back In the good old U.S.A.. and no one would ever get them Talk about what we call isolationism and nationalism! here were two extreme and uncompromising exponents of both.

That is the "United Nations" which is now a going concern, with the signatures secured to give it at least LEGAL life.

A recent dispatch reported the marriage of a man 100 years old. A Bostonian wants to know if this Is the record for aged bridegrooms. It isn't. Thomas Parr, of England, was married for the second time at the age of 120. Ho was 80 when mar ried for the first time. When Parr, evidently a gay old bird, was 105 years old his wife ac cused him of running around with other women. Ho was born in 1483 and died at the age of 152. He Is buried in Westminster Abbey. How To Get Rich It has been said one of the best ways to acquire wealth Is to sell something that retails for five or ten cents and can only be used once. Carl Laemmle had this idea In his mind when he left Oshkosh. Wis., to go into business in rhir-ncn. Ha finally decided to open a film theatre I with the price of admission fix ed at a nickel. As you know. Laemmle ultimately became a millionaire. Milton Hershey,' who passed on recently, amass ed a fortune estimated at $fi5. 000.000. The basis of this for tune was a chocolate bnr soiling for a nickel. Other great for tunes have been earned from nickel candy bars. For example, that of Mrs. E. V. Mars. Then consider the fortunes earned by nickel soft drinks. That friend of mine In Chicago who retails nickel hamburgers through a chain of eateries Is doing all right too. Patting Br Marlene Dietrich, and hrr husband, Rudolph Sclber. Mr. and Mrs. Seiber will soon be celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. Marlene's first film hit was In an opus titled "I KLis Your Hand. Madame." This was made in Berlin. Her second hit was In "The Blue Angel." Also made In Berlin. Her first film made in the U.S.A. was "Moroc out of it AGAIN! least a couple of million service native soil aeain. feel the ramp goes on, but it will represent a iv, lejuift; uvlt in tne preceeded it. l ...ut.i. . . hi wuiL-n mis country Decomes urln It anj ..... nianQ jiu IIUMUKe u ..iaui:.i i . ul:c iuuijsiieu, mat 10 lose a fortune, and future, but one's life' i iir ... . . 1..-, i ... ...

Horses & Women In the 1944 national eleqtlon 53 per cent of the votes were cast by women. Is claimed most women vote the same ticket as their husbands. That Is probably true. However, I know a Repub lican whose wife Is a Democrat. They have some very heated political arguments. But tl.eir marriage is a very happy one. Asking Queries from clients. Q.

The Fort Erie track Is In Ontario, Canada, about six miles from Buffalo. Q. Of which state Is the official flower the rose? A. Depends on what kind of a rose you have In mind. The New York state flower Is the rose with no particular type specified. The District of Colum bia's flower is the American beauty rose. Iowa's Is the wild rose. North Dakota, the wild prairie rose and Georgia's the Cherokee rose. Please Note When powder Is needed to hold false teeth In place it is an Indication that said teeth are not properly made and were fitted poorly. Why Is it seemingly In telligent people will toss a lot of money away throwing parties, buying liquor for other people and trying to pick a longshot and then economize on such a vltallv important thing as den tistry? Says She "Some very wise woman said 'It is better to be married to a man you do not love but loves you than to a man you leve.' And how right she was." writes a Chicagoan. "I was very n.uch in love with my first husband and led a miserable life. 1 like my second husband but do not love him. But he apparently loves me very much. He spares no effort or expense to please me or make me contented. I am very happy. Mad love, careless ranttira ct- era In vnnni, npn. pie, oomeining 10 enjoy or sui ter from in your youth. When a girl marries she should do so chiefly for peace, contentment and security. Put that advice in your mules and men and horses and women files. It comes from one who knows from her ex perience and that of many other women." News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Oct. 19 People do not seem to understand the meaning of "inflation," which is being raised as a specter be hind the daily news of strikes, wage battles and govern ment economic planning. N o one in this country has seen an infla tion walking, or I should say, running.Adults with memories may recall it as something which happened in Germany after the last war, when a bushel basket of money was necessary to buy a meal. But in general the news debate treats it as an infinite kind of prospect without dimen sions, a sort of . economic hell they know can happen, yet they cannot picture it. e e THE kind of inflation talked about now should be easy to understand, though roughly. We have gone far enough toward it to make the landmarks visible It is unlike any which has gone Detoro In history, because pri marily it Is a price inflation. In Germany the wreckage of the money system and the bank ruptcy of the country brought the condition in which a glass or Deer cost 100 marks or so. In other countries such as China. a depleted treasury already has Brought comparative inflation. We are not bankrupt and our treasury took in $45,000,000,000 last year. Ours is an inflation of prices directly. We have a short age of goods, all goods, due to war wastes, increased consump tion and free distribution of our supplies around the world. The cost of many things already has doubled since before the war. e MOW the unions want a 30 A ' per cent wage increase in this time of a goods shortage. How ever much they get of their de mand prices will be increased at least that much and probably more. If a man can sell his goods for an ever-increasing price, he will do it. If he controls a sel lers' market such as we have now where people pay anything asked, he would be superhuman if he did not resist both the loose government regulations and con science, if any. BUT the courage of upward wnee liimns nnH unwnrd price Jumps will run, as soon as the shortage of goods is over, in to buyer resentment. The wage price inflationary spiral inevit ably must encounter the day when they cannot pay the price if they would, because the wages of no other class have increased as have the wages of union labor. We are getting to the point where we can see the people will close their pocket books and strike or will have to strike in the economic sense, purchasing only that which is necessary. Then the house will fall down. The spiral will collapse with a thud. Declining demand will cause declining production, un employmentdepression. e PROM then on the depression can go many ways. The gov ernment cannot collect even $35,000,000,000 or a fraction of It from a country In the throes of depression. Declining business brings declining tax receipts. The government can hardly bor row on top of a S300.000.000.000 war debt for deficit financing to promote another gigantic spend ing program to save the situa tion. It would probably start the From where We were sltttng around Bill Webster's fire the other night, enjoying a mellow glass of beer, and ialking-now that the war Is over - about what Peace really means. "I can tell yon one thing tt doesn't mean," aaya BUI. "It doesn't mean that we can all re-lax-and take things easy and throre we're liTing In Vtopuu" "You're right," Judge Cun ningham agrees. "Peace means, anions other things, eternal vigi lance. Free men are still at war with hatred, prejudice. Intoler tVrvfe, XT' faui Maiioo 1 nrlntlntf nre and brine to its ! final logical conclusion the bank ruptcy of the nation. IN this process everyone wh has anything of value from ho I lias anytiiins ul venue , . 1- : . t 1... t a bank account to a bond wouia lose it or suffer a terrific depre ciation of anything he was able to hold through the crisis. But those who have nothing of value would suffer more severely for It is reasonable to expect the starvation here that every other nation in similar circumstances has encountered. Then would come dictatorial socialism. It would have to be a dictatorship because the world knows no other way to handle people who will not behave of their own accord. It would have to be socialism because this Is the common political method today of handling natlonj in bankruptcy. Inflation, then, is not a vague, vaporous remote political the ory, or, as the unions seem to suspect, a political epithet-stick to beat them out of Just wage in crease. It can be pictured a live economic hell into which all the people would be condemned. Flight o Time Medford and Jackson Co. His tory from the filet of the Mail Tribune 10. 20 and 34 T aao.
