PACE FOUR THE EVENING HERALD. KLAMATH FAT.IS. OREGON Jnnimrv 22. 10'' Editorials News of Other Days Place Names Women's Features 1 Rate Plea Is Well Put DISCRIMINATION HURTS RAILROADS Thrifty Nation 's Bulwark Case For Railroads Made in Petition A good case for the railroads them srlvre in behalf of a rate reduction on potatoes between Klamath Falls and California points is made in the pe tition for reduced rates addressed by the Klamath Potato Growers associa tion to freight traffic managers of the four railroads affected. The petitioners point out that, through an I. C. C. decision reducing the rates on Idaho potatoes, the ad vantages enjoyed by the Klamath Grow ers through their proximity to the Cali fornia markets are largely taken away. An authentic survey has shown the cost of production for Idaho potatoes is 85 cents per cwt, and in Klamath county, $1.08. From this it is evident that proximity to market has made . production of Klamath potatoes profit able in spite of the higher cost in volved. It is apparent, the petition states, "that unless the Klamath grow ers are given the benefit of the shorter distance to market, the higher cost of production will make it prohibitive for continuance of the industry." Another point made by the growers fe that truck transportation of Klamath potatoes is rapidly increasing. In 1928, 100 carloads of potatoes were shipped from the Klamath basin by truck. This amount increased to 150 ears in 1929, 200 in 1930, and it is estimated that at least 250 cars, and perhaps 300, will be shipped out by truck in the 1931 season. At first shipments by truck were merely to northern California points, but the truck operators, com peting with the higher rates charged by the railroads, have now established a regular business as far south as Sac ramento and even beyond that point Thus, the railroads are presented with two possibilities in maintaining the present situation. The steady de cline, and final ruination of the Klam ath potato industry, as hinted by the petition, would remove one of the main sources of tonnage for railroads in the Klamath basin. What they might gain in increased longer hauls from distant, but lower-rate points, could hardly off set the loss from the death of such a potentially great industry as that of Klamath potato growing. The other possibility is the loss of business, should the industry refuse to be downed through the high, railroad rates, to ever increasing truck compe tition. The railroads have had ample experience with that sort of thing. The Klamath growers have done a good job of showing the railroads that, for their own sake, the petition should be granted. JERRY CHAPTER XXXV It had been tun for everyone except Joan eating lunch In the wide stretch of aand with the ton shining down on them and the bine lake dancing behind them. There had been momenta when Joan had thought ahe would like to lire. She would like to Hve II Jerry could be there beside her. Lake and sky and aand were nothing when Jerry waa not hera any longer. Dick had tried so hard to be gay, because he knew. ETeryone knew. That was the hard part about It all. Then the un went down be hind the giant bills ot sand, and Joan thought, "That la the last time I will ever see the aun." It waa not hard to think things like that now. It used to hurt terribly to know that she would not live to see sunsets sliding down behind horlton, and snow hanging like white atatin upon the treea in Lincoln Park. But the feeling was gone now. She felt peaceful, rested. She wond ered if Violet had felt that way just before ahe had turned on the gas In her aad little apartment. . They were talking. Words. Why did people talk? Talking didn't mean anything. Lit didn't mean anything. "There has to be some thing swell in heaven, or I don't want to go there." Violet. "I want to go to aleep and never wake up." Violet again. "Don't ever die, Joan. If yon die I ahall die also." Jerry. "No, you won't, Jerry darling. Ton won't die. You won't die. You'll die. You'll live for Claire. You want ber. You'll be free to go to her aoon. Just as soon as Dick and the reat of them decide they are ready to go home. Funny that their de cision means the end of my life." Mustn't think. Blank. Don't think about newspapers. Don't think about Father. "You were too honorable, Jerry, to desert me. You wouldn't leare me for Claire aa long as you had promis ed the preacher that you would lire with me. You don't lore Claire. You lore me." Silly. All wires think that their husbands lore them. You never told me you loved me. Why didn't you ever say, "Joan, I love you?" But you said other things. You aald you did not care to live If II weren't for me. That means you love me. But men aay things they don't mean. Thpy mean Ihem at tbe time, but time passes and they say other things that are - tfwd - JOAN different. They can't help It. though. Violet said they couldn't help It. Things happen to them to make them change. Women come into their Uvea, charming women. Women that they have loved before, perhaps. You can't forget people that yon have loved, no matter how long ago you may have loved them. Violet said ao. Violet waa brave. They were leaving now. Now she bad to say: "Run on, Dick. Yon go and put the things In the car and I'll come along by myself." "You didn't have a good time, Jo." "Yea, I did. I had a marvelous time." "You're not happy." "Yea, I am happy." - "Please leave Jerry, Jo." Dick's hands were hot on her shoulders. Burning through her shirtwaist. "I'm going to leave him, Dick. Oh, I'm going to leave him. I'm going to leave him to anybody and everybody on earth. I'm go ing to aet him free. It'a the only decent thing left for me to do." The words were pounding In her brain because she was think ing them, not saying them. She aaid: "Perhaps I shall some day." Dick must go now. Leave. Quickly. It all had to be done quickly. "Why won't you come?" "I want to think a minute. I want to be alone . . . Oh, Dick, don't talk to me any longer. Just go. I ahall scream If you don't go." Picking up the pillows from the sand now. Tucking them un der his arm. The rest were stand ing over by the ear. Someone was calling, "Hurry up." Dick was leaving now. ' There waa no sound except the lulling swish of the waves against the shore. Oood-by, Jerry darling. It waa wonderful to have you to love. I am burning up all over. The water will be cool. Dick la at the car now. Run. Quickly. Hard to run in water. It pulls you back. Hurry and get where It Is deep. Hurry. Hurry. I am. The water la cool. My body Is burning. Dun't swim. Remembe., don't swim. Hard not to ewlm. Nothing un der my feet now. My ears are thumping. They are filled with water. Dick Is running toward me. Hurry, Joan, and die. Hurry. Don't let Dirk save me, God. It's easy to die. I want to die. I am dying without a heart. My heart Judicious Spending Part of Program This is thrift week. To be sure, it is late in thrift week, and by the rules that govern such things, we suppose this discussion should have appeared somewhat earlier in this period dedi cated particularly to the memory of that early apostle of thrift, Benjamin Franklin. Still, with the merchants fill ing the advertising columns of The News and Herald with week-end bar gains, we aren't so sure but what this is the very day to speak our piece about thrift. For that, as it happens, is exactly what people are practicing when they respond to the advantageous price of ferings of this new economic period. Thrift does not mean hoarding. It should be given a broader interpreta tion. It means judicious spending, and never has there been a better time for judicious spending than the present. Thrift, of course, means more than that. It means some kind of a definite plan about personal finances that, perhaps, is most important of all. It means a certain amount of saving along with wise spending. It means sound in vestment. It means the keeping of money at work by wise depositing, not foolish hoarding. It means, to the fam ily permanently located, the ownership of a home. . It means the payment of one's bills and the maintenance of one's credit The thrifty are the bulwark of the nation. For it can be truly said that those who look after their own finances are looking after the finances of the nation. Nevada Gets More From Divorce'Seekers If you want a divorce, it is nice to be classed as a permanent resident of Nevada. But if you want to own an automobile license, it's nicer to be rec ognized as a citizen of California. Hence, an interesting situation has developed at Reno, where erstwhile Californians crowd in large numbers to win freedom from matrimonial bonds. Nevada authorities have adopted a pol icy of refusing to issue visitor's permits to the divorce seekers, because techni cally they are not visitors, but perma nent residents. They have declared themselves such to qualify for divorce action. California has $3 license plates. Ne vada charges considerably more, and Nevada authorities are out to see that all the "permanent residents" buy Ne vada plates. That's tough on divorce-seekers. But oh-hum, the divorce is probably worth it Clco Lacas died long ago. The night my little French clock fell off the dresser. Don't let Dick reach me. He won't He's too far away. Oood by, Jerry. It'a sweet to die while I still have you." e Jerry awakened at exactly four o'clock Chicago daylight-saving time on Sunday afternoon follow ing the party for the prets agent in the Morrison Hotel. His head waa heavy. He had neglected somehow to remove the clothing end he looked exactly as any per son would look who had slept In his clothes for the last twenty four hours. He hitched himself np on his elbow and looked around. There wasn't a soul In the room except himself. There were twin beds that had not been slept In and here he was on the floor. He wondered how that had happened. Oh, well. His eyes fell on the top of a highboy directly in front of the beds. Oh, sweet misery ot life! He emitted a low groan. The sight of the empty liquor bottles waa too much for him. He stretched his legs out and II' ted himself wearily from the floor. Oh, Mister Piper, bow you make ns pay! He went Into the bathroom, avoiding any further look at the highboy, and gated at himself In the glasa. He was surprised. It had never occurred to him before how ter rible be really looked. He pulled back a limp, soiled cuff and glanced at his wrist watch. Four o'clock. It must be Sunday after noon. No use talking. This would be the last one. He couldn't do it. Look at those eyes. Circles aa black as night His face was drawn and wrinkled. Needed shave badly. There may have been times when he had looked worse, Jerry told himself, but he could- n t remember when. Wonder If he had called Joan last night. No. Oh, she wasn't going to be there anyway. Prob ably waa home now. Oh, Gosh. He was going to have to cut this sort of thing out. Right now. Joan was too good about it. He wished she would scold him a little. Maybe he would do better if ahe would only say something once In a while. Hut she never did. Didn't care, he guessed. Oh( of course, she cared, but she didn't miss him. Just the same he was going to take It a little easier for a while. He opened up the medicine cab inet and found a rnznr. Ills clothes were terrible. He couldn't go home this way. He took a shower and then went on over to the office. He had freeh suit uf .-lothea In the locker. He went into the dre.slng room and put them on and then went on up stairs to look In hie mall box. There wasn't anyone around. Things were terribly quiet. He walked over lo his desk and a sheet of yellow paper caught his eye. Hud had written him a note. He read the first part. "t!o home. Joan dying." There was more but he dldn t wait to read II. The elevator would never come. He atarted down (he stairs and then derided that he would try to catch the elevator on (be tenth floor. Waited again and then ran down another flight. The light flashed red above (he ele vator on the ninth floor and he ran over and got Into the ele vator. The operator spoke to him. Jerry said, "Hurry, Jim, my God, hurry." Jim waa used to things Ilk this. 'On a hot story, Corbett?" Jerry nodded. Elevator atopplng. On the atreet now. A cab. Jerry's voice sounded hoarse when he told the driver the address. "Hurry, for Ood's sake." He didn't think he could say It but he did. "My wife is dying." He leaned bark in the cab. The driver swung the car around and dived Into the traffic. Crasy words. Ilea. Joan wasn't dying. why would Bud ever leave blm a, note like that? How could she be dying? She wasn't skk. lie had left her Saturday morning. She was well enough then. Joan dying? Wild. Insane. Idiotic. Joan couldn't die. Red lights. Alwaya red lights to Impede the progress ot (he cab. Couldn't the lights stay green this once for him? "O Cod. make the light atay green. 1 want to get home. I want to aee what this la all about Joan Isn't dying. Why didn't I stay home Saturday? Joan, wonderful Joan. If ahe dies I'll die. I won't live it Joan dies." Joan. Golden lounging pajamas against the pale green ot the davenport The night he spilled chicken a la king all over the floor and ahe laughted and loved him for it Loved him for It Loved him for anything. Claire. The night in the kitchen. Joan forgave him for It. swore ne would never see that damned Claire again. Parties, reporters, preaa agents, actresses, white vel vet wraps, soft lights. Joan again above everything. Oh. hell! I've treated her ao badly. The damned cab. Creeping. Knocking on the glass. "Horry, driver. Faster." (To He Continued) Health Talks Memory la ao valuable an at tribute to success thst authorities In conditions of the mind have given It most careful considera tion and atudy. Memory Is de veloped early In life. If the portions ot the brain In volved In memory are Injured by disease or physical damage, or If they are affected by the changes that come on with old age, mem ory beglna to weaken. The changes associated with old age Involve, In some eases, hardening of the arteries and a diminishing circulation of blood to the parti of the brain that take care ot memory. There are many people who only apparently are unable to re member well. This, however, la tbe result of abeentmlndedneaa and preoccupation, and of the failure to give adequate atten tion rather than any disorder of the memory. There are, moreover many people who have a special faculty for remembering, highly developed through training, and who are thereby more successful In occupations In which memory la an important attribute. Doctor Sanger Brown points out that persona past middle age wbo do not remember aa well as formerly need have no fear that the condition la progreaslve. It la merely a part of the general de cline In mental vigor and keen ness of attention which occurs in advancing years. Elderly persons frequently re peat tbe same story, appear to exaggerate facta and, in other ways, ahow losses of memory for which they are In no way re sponsible. It la important that this lack of responsibility should be recognised by those who pass In Judgment on the acts ot tbe elderly. The type of loss of memory that la most serious Is that which occurs suddenly and is accom panied by confusion. Such loss of memory may be rapidly pro gressive and associated with the beginning of mental disease. Hardening of the arteries of the brain, the exceaslve nse of al cohol and chronic Inflammation of the brain tissue may bring about changes which have serious effects on the ability to remem ber. People who are disturbed should be Informed that there Is no reason to believe that gradual failure of memory Indicates the beginning of Insanity. Such peo ple need only good advice In men tal hygiene. Earlier Days January 22, 1014 County Treasurer J. W.

If your balr took lo platinum and stays looking grand, you need not think every platinum blonde la going to go brunette over night and leave you holding tbe sack. They are too appealing, by and large, lo drop tbe fad right away. Take your time, particularly It you are enjoying the platinum blonde vogue. Hut. if yon notice that your hair baa begun to break all Ita ends. If It files away and won't stay put. begin taking cars ot your hair. HniKliIng Is Heat Aid You'll find tbst a few routine rounds of the good old hair brush will discipline your hair quite as well aa It e'ver did a naughty child. The obvloua time to brush your hair Is night time, when retiring. But If you are tired, try brushing your hair np from the back of your nerk. Stroke carefully and firmly. You might Just know that anything that felt that refresh ing must be doing wonders to your hair. One disadvantage In the amart new coiffures Is tbst women get their balr trained Into Just the right wave and hate to give It single brush for fear they will dis arrange the whole thing. There Is something to It, of course. But, If you overcome the difficulties of arrangement by learning how to do It easily, then you will find that the more you brush your hair hair and the softer and more lus trous' It 'gets, the easier It falls Into place. If you Just won't brush your hair, and If it seems dry and fly sway, you really should use a good tonic on a bit of cotton every night. When you have It all ar ranged, smooth It over with a lit tle brilllantlne rubbed on both of your hands and applied with a quick, dextroua brushing over.
